章 171: Chapter 171: Master-Disciple Conversation
After discussing the plan to deal with Han Feng, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
Su Qian, Hu Gan, as well as Elder Huo, finally turned their attention to Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin.
"Who are the two of them?" Su Qian opened his mouth and asked, regarding the two women that Xiao Ming had brought back, he had only given them a quick glance, and now that the previous matter was settled, he, as the person in charge of the Inner Academy, was the one who had to ask about them.
Hearing these words, Xiao Yi Xian lifted her head, and together with Qing Lin, noticing that the Elders were staring at them, they couldn't help but become nervous.
"Those two are the ones I brought from outside, both of them are exceptionally talented." Seeing the nervousness of the two, Xiao Ming gave them a smile and calmly explained.
"The Inner Academy Elder can bring talented people to the Inner Academy, First Elder, I wasn't wrong to do so, right?".
"So it's like this, I thought you had enlightened yourself after you went out and Old Huo was going to have two daughters-in-law from his apprentice, hehe". Su Qian shook his head and laughed.
These words made the nervous Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin blush slightly.
Xiao Ming cough a little, if it was Xiao Yi Xian, it was fine, but with Qing Lin's age… did he look like a beast?
Thinking about the old pervert, Hai Bodong, Xiao Ming wondered if all old people became like this with age.
Not knowing what Xiao Ming was thinking about him, Su Qian continued to ask:
"However, for you to praise them for being talented, what are their most outstanding qualities?". Su Qian asked again with some curiosity, he had the strength of a Dou Ancestor, and the strength of the two women, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, could not be hidden under his gaze.
It was true that the woman in white possessed the strength of a nine-star Dou Master at a young age, and the girl in green was now twelve or thirteen years old and possessed the strength of a nine-star Dou Zhi Qi.
They could beat ninety-nine percent of the students of the Jia Nan Academy, this was indeed considered a genius.
However, in the eyes of Xiao Ming, who was a six-year-old Dou Master, an eight-year-old Dou Grandmaster, and a fifteen-year-old Dou Emperor, this should be nothing, right?
Why did Xiao Ming seem to hold the two in such high regard?
Su Qian was a bit puzzled, as was Elder Huo beside him, and Hu Gan.
Seeing their puzzled looks, after thinking about it, everyone would know sooner or later anyway, so he simply stopped hiding it.
"Both of them have special physiques, Xiao Yi Xian has the Woeful Poison Body, and Qing Lin has the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils."
Su Qian and the others had ventured to the Continent for many years and their knowledge was extraordinary, so they had naturally heard of the names of these two special physiques.
As soon as Xiao Ming's words were said, the expressions of the three people became agitated, before revealing an incredulous look.
"Is this... true?" asked Su Qian.
"Naturally it's true." Xiao Ming nodded with conviction, "You must know the horror of these two special physiques and understand why I said they have exceptional natural talent, right? The fact that they are not as strong now is purely due to the time they lost earlier."
"These two physiques are really terrifying and can be called monstrous, no wonder you hold them in such high esteem." To the side, Hu Gan marveled.
"The Sky Serpent Mansion once had a Headmaster who was the possessor of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, and the Sky Serpent Mansion during that period could be considered the Hegemon of the North-Western Region. This Woeful Poison Body is also not bad, however, this physique... is a bit difficult to deal with, every possessor of the Woeful Poison Body has died a miserable death". said Su Qian with a frown.
The Woeful Poison Body might erupt, and once it did, with Xiao Yi Xian's current strength, nothing would happen to them, but the students would not be able to resist that kind of poisonous gas.
The face of Elder Huo, who was seated, became serious when he heard the name of this Woeful Poison Body and said.
"Also, there are records of people who had the Woeful Poison Body who radically changed their personalities and became Evil Poison Masters, poisoning cities for pleasure. Xiao Ming, it is not safe for you to have taken her in".
From her seat, Xiao Yi Xian listened to the words of Su Qian and Xiao Ming's Master, which made her lower her head again, her delicate hands clenched tightly.
She felt so helpless at this moment, not only was she unable to help Xiao Ming to deal with the powerful people coming to threaten him, but she was also being a nuisance to him at this moment, even his Master was questioning him about her.
Under these negative thoughts, her mood began to decline rapidly, to the point where she even thought for a moment that the words she had said to him this morning were nothing but a joke.
Xiao Ming felt a little weirded out by his Master's words of rejection, but when he sensed the change in Xiao Yi Xian's emotions, he no longer had time to think and immediately spoke.
"Xian'er would never be such a person, she has always been a gentle and persevering girl, moreover, she has been very diligent in her cultivation, and it won't be long before she becomes a pillar of the Jia Nan Academy."
"Her Woeful Poison Body has already been controlled by me, it won't erupt for the time being, and I already have a complete solution for it."
"That's why I wish to ask the Academy for help to permanently solve the Woeful Poison Body's issue, I am still missing a Monster Core of a seventh-rank Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast, and I would like to ask about it through the Academy's channels." Xiao Ming said
The Monster Core of the Seventh Rank Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast would serve as insurance, so it was best to get it if one could.
Hearing how Xiao Ming defended and cared for her, to the point of asking the Academy for help, the dark clouds in Xiao Yi Xian's mind instantly cleared, replaced by a warm feeling running through her heart. And when she lifted her face slightly, she realized that her little sister Qing Lin had come to her side, and with a smile, she said softly, "Sister Xian'er, trust in Young Master".
After hearing her words, a look of realization appeared on Xiao Yi Xian's face.
After nodding at Qing Lin with a smile, Xiao Yi Xian fixed her hair and regained her usual calm personality
It's just that every time she looked at Xiao Ming, a determined look appeared on her face, as if she had decided something.
The Elders, of course, had also noticed Xiao Yi Xian's internal struggle, and when they saw the speed at which she composed her mood, they could not help but nod internally in satisfaction, she was worthy of Xiao Ming taking care of her as he was doing.
For a Poison Master, controlling emotions was a critical factor, and it was more so for her, who had a special physique that was extremely dangerous, both to herself and the others around her.
However, they were not at all dissatisfied with her previous behavior, instead, she earned the kind gaze of the Elders that were present.
"Oh? Do you have a method for the Woeful Poison Body?"
Continuing the conversation, Su Qian spoke in a surprised tone as he heard Xiao Ming say of a method to control the Woeful Poison Body and could not help but continue to ask.
"What exactly did you experience this time you went out?"
"I found out by chance." Xiao Ming shook his head with no intention of explaining further.
Zi Yan, who was sitting on a chair and wiggling her little legs, rolled her eyes when she heard Xiao Ming's answer.
During the time they had been away, she had basically been by Xiao Ming's side the whole time.
She knew very well what opportunities Xiao Ming came across. And none of them had to do with this method.
However, knowing was one thing, Zi Yan would never say anything about it.
"Oh, having the Woeful Poison Body's special physique will increase her cultivation quickly, but she has to undergo torture that is unbearable for normal people, we can see that she is a very persevering girl, but it is also good for her that you have a solution. Now, about the seventh rank Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast Monster Core, I'm going to help you look for it."
"However, with this rank of Monster Core, also being of a specific magical beast, the difficulty of finding it will be quite high, so you should be mentally prepared."
Xiao Ming nodded his head to show that he understood.
Afterward, the Elders in a tacit understanding did not talk about Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian's physique again.
Instead, they pulled Xiao Ming to talk about things concerning their cultivation.
During this time, Zi Yan felt bored and wanted to slip away.
But before she could succeed, she was caught by Xiao Ming to subsequently be assigned to take Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin to his courtyard.
Half an hour after Zi Yan left, Xiao Ming and the Elders finally finished their conversation.
They then left the First Elder's study.
...
The two of them, Xiao Ming and Elder Huo, walked along the quiet path, neither of them spoke, and just enjoyed a moment of silence.
After a while, Elder Huo turned to look at his disciple, and a smile appeared on his old face, "You have found two good women this time."
Xiao Ming turned to look at him, somewhat puzzled but replied in agreement. "Of course, Master must know by now that both of them have a higher talent than me".
Elder Huo shook his head and said, "Brat, I'm not talking about their talents, I'm talking about their characters."
"The girl with the special pupils, even though she was very nervous, never doubted you and completely trusted your arrangements."
"And about the girl... Xiao Yi Xian, right?" Elder Huo paused, as his tone became somewhat emotional. "She genuinely cares about you, kid, We all could see her powerlessness from the moment we all brought up the topic of the powerhouses that would attack you. Do you think your Master wouldn't worry about you being seduced by some ambitious woman when you went outside? For this reason, we let them listen to the whole conversation just now.".
"That's why I was a bit hard on her, I wanted to evaluate her character, after all, it's true that her physique is dangerous. Although it's possible that after this, she might hate your Master now".
"She is not someone like that, Master."
Xiao Ming had a realization and finally understood his Master's abnormal behavior. Likewise, it was possible that all the Elders had similar thoughts.
"Hmm, they both did well, didn't you see Old Hu's face? He looked seriously worried about his granddaughter, hehe."
Xiao Ming listened attentively to his Master's analysis until the last part caused black lines to appear on his forehead.
"Master, since when did you become so teasing?" said Xiao Ming speechlessly.
"Hehe, of course, I am happy that you have made good friends, including Zi Yan and the Hu Jia girl, but I hope you won't disappoint them, or I'll have to teach you a gentle lesson." Elder Huo said with a smile that was not a smile.
Despite knowing that his Master was joking, Xiao Ming suddenly thought back to this morning's scene and replied seriously. "I won't, Master".
...
Some time later, Xiao Ming looked at Elder Huo's aged face and said.
"Master, you've been stuck in the fifth tier of Alchemist for a long time, right?"
"Mm, indeed." Hearing Xiao Ming's question, Elder Huo was a bit stunned and then replied with a sigh.
"Counting time, I have been trapped for almost twenty years."
Elder Huo and Fa Ma were very similar, with the same Dou Emperor strength, the same fifth-tier peak Alchemist. The accumulation of both of them in their Alchemist skills should be enough, but they simply could not move to the sixth tier.
If there was someone to guide them, they could overcome this obstacle.
But the Alchemy Department of the Jia Nan Academy was similar to what Yao Lao had said.
The inheritance was there, but it wasn't much, and Jia Nan Academy's Alchemy Department wasn't strong if one looked at the entire Continent.
"Why are you suddenly bringing up this topic now?".
At Elder Huo's hesitation, Xiao Ming smiled mysteriously.
Next, he took out a plant contained in a jade pot from his Star Ring.
When the plant appeared, a faint mind-soothing fragrance immediately filled the area surrounding the two of them.
Smelling the fragrance, Elder Huo's eyes instantly stopped on the plant in Xiao Ming's hand.
The plant was green in color, and on the top of the plant, a flower with seven colors was slowly blooming, and when the flower unfolded, Elder Huo was a little surprised to realize that the seven colors were gradually changing, giving it a magical appearance.
"This is the... Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva!"
"Hehe, worthy of being the Master, you recognized this medicinal material at a glance."
"Brat, have you already forgotten who taught you the art of Alchemy?" Elder Huo said speechlessly.
"The Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva is incredibly precious, where did you get it from?".
"This is the reward others gave me after I helped them cure their illnesses." Xiao Ming smiled and handed the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva to Elder Huo.
"This is no longer of much use to me, this Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva can be stored in the storage ring, but I have to let it bask in the sun for at least an hour a day, otherwise it will automatically wither, which is a nuisance, so it's better for you to use it, Master."
"Boy...". Elder Huo sighed lightly, was the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva really useless to Xiao Ming?
It was not, in fact, it was still useful to him, although it could not allow Xiao Ming's soul, which was already at the perfection of the Mortal Realm, to advance any further, the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva also had the effect of restoring the soul.
How could it be a nuisance as Xiao Ming had said, he was obviously only saying it out of fear that he would reject it.
For a moment, Elder Huo was relieved that this disciple had not been accepted in vain.
"Master, accept it quickly."
"… Fine" Under Xiao Ming's insistence, Elder Huo still accepted the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva.
Firstly, he really needed this medicinal herb, with this medicinal herb, his soul power was bound to soar and he would soon be able to break through the sixth-tier Alchemist.
Secondly, this was his disciple's intention, and there was really no need to reject it.
As he watched his Master put away the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva he had given him in his storage ring, Xiao Ming took out another bottle of jade from his storage ring.
"What is that?" Elder Huo looked at the jade bottle in Xiao Ming's hand that emitted subtle fluctuations, as well as a faint fragrance, and clearly contained a high-level pill, and was somewhat puzzled.
"This is a Zong Breaking Pill." Xiao Ming smiled, "Didn't Master fail to break through? With this extra Zong Breaking Pill, after we finish resolving the Han Feng matter, Master can try to break through again."
"Zong Breaking Pills are hard to refine and herbs hard to find, where did you get so many Zong Breaking Pills from?". Elder Huo did not immediately take the pill.
"This time when I came back to the family, I happened to help the Jia Ma Imperial Family refine this Zong Breaking Pill and I had a lot of extra medicinal materials left over, I still have another one here besides this one, next time, if you keep failing, I will give it to you, so accept this one quickly." Xiao Ming urged.
When Elder Huo heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, looking at Xiao Ming's rich guy attitude, he felt that now it was Xiao Ming who was teasing him.
A sixth-tier pinnacle pill of such efficacy as Zong Breaking Pill had no fixed market price, and each of them could be auctioned for a sky-high price.
Especially for a peak power Dou Emperor, this pill was more attractive than anything else, and his disciple actually said that he had several of them.
Even Elder Huo, who was an Alchemist, was surprised, as this exceeded the wealth of an ordinary sixth-tier Alchemist.
However, Elder Huo did not delve deeper and, after a moment of surprise, took the jade bottle from Xiao Ming's hand.
"Hehe, with this pill, I will definitely be able to break through the Dou Ancestor next time, I don't need another one, since the last time I tried to break through, I fell just short of breaking through."
"I also believe that this breakthrough won't be difficult for Master." Xiao Ming laughed.
"Speaking so kindly now, you didn't seem like you meant it before." Elder Huo shook his head and laughed, "Since you've been gone for a long time, accompany me for a walk around the Inner Academy and tell me about your experiences outside."
"Hmm."
