105: First-class alchemist

Zheng Tingtao, dressed in white robes whiter than snow, appeared before them. The ten people bowed respectfully.

He glanced indifferently at the ten people.

This batch of Zhou Family Disciples who came to study had good talent, especially Zhou Luo, who performed exceptionally well.

If he could be cultivated, he might not necessarily fail to reach the Third-Order Alchemist Realm in the future.

It's just a pity his Ling Gen (Spiritual Root) is too low.

If only he had a Seven-Rank Spiritual Root, Zheng Tingtao would have taken him as a Disciple.

But this Nine-Rank Spiritual Root.

He probably won't be able to Foundation Establishment in this life.

What use is having high Pill Refining talent then?

If he cannot break through the shackles of lifespan, it will ultimately be meaningless.

Withdrawing his gaze, Zheng Tingtao spoke calmly, "Today you will leave the Sect. I hope you will come here again next time."

Entering the Azure Origin Sect for study happens once every two years. While everyone was studying here, the first Spirit Pill Gathering had already ended.

If they wanted to come here, they would have to participate in the Spirit Pill Gathering the following "Nian".

But generally, everyone wouldn't choose to do this.

Because a "Nian" of study requires reviewing the old and learning the new, and besides Pill Refining, improving one's Realm is also of utmost importance.

Therefore, after leaving the Immortal Sect, most people would wait until the time after next to participate in the Spirit Pill Gathering, or even longer.

The crowd agreed in unison.

"Go."

Zheng Tingtao did not try to make them stay.

Everyone silently returned to their rooms to pack their luggage.

Before long, the Disciple who had led them here a "Nian" ago appeared at the entrance of the manor.

The ten people picked up their belongings and followed him down the mountain.

On the way, Lin Xin leaned towards Zhou Luo and whispered, "Are you about to break through?"

A few days ago, she noticed that Zhou Luo's Pill Refining speed was getting faster and faster, clearly not the speed a First-Order middle-grade Alchemist should have.

"I am already a First-Order High Grade," Zhou Luo said calmly.

"Really?" Lin Xin exclaimed.

She looked at him in disbelief, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.

Breaking through to First-Order High Grade in a "Nian"?

His Pill Refining talent is too high.

This speed of progress is simply beyond ordinary people.

Lin Xin was overjoyed internally.

Because the stronger Zhou Luo was, the stronger the Lin Family would be.

Now, he no longer regarded Zhou Luo as an outsider, and even admired him greatly.

The Zhou Family had such a terrifying Pill Refining Genius.

In the future, in the path of Pill Refining, they would no longer have to look at other people's expressions.

Her voice also attracted the attention of others.

Everyone looked at Zhou Luo in surprise, their expressions astonished.

He is already a First-Order High-Grade Alchemist?

So fast?

The Lin Family is about to rise!

For a time, everyone offered their congratulations.

In the crowd, only the two people from the Lu Family had gloomy expressions and remained silent.

...

At the Dragon Palace Great Hall down the mountain, Lin Zhishou and several other Zhou Family members had already been waiting for a long time.

At the same time, many Disciples had already returned by their side.

These young men and women had smiles on their faces and seemed to have gained a lot.

Before long, Zhou Luo and his group walked out from the inner area.

They each walked towards their own Zhou Family.

"How was it? Did you gain anything this "Nian"?"

Lin Zhishou looked at the two with a smile.

"Reporting to Master, I've gained a bit," Zhou Luo bowed and said.

"You are truly humble."

Lin Xin said abruptly, then looked at Lin Zhishou with a smile on her lips.

"Master, Zhou Luo is already a First-Order High-Grade Alchemist."

"What?!"

Lin Zhishou's smile froze, his eyes widened, and he looked at Zhou Luo with extreme shock.

His lips trembled, and he said excitedly, "Say that again!"

His trembling voice was full of disbelief.

Lin Xin chuckled softly and did not continue.

Zhou Luo truthfully said, "Master, I am indeed already a First-Order High-Grade Alchemist."

As soon as he said this, Lin Zhishou's expression became extremely astonished, his eyes wide like copper bells, his heart greatly impacted.

He never expected that Zhou Luo's improvement after entering the Immortal Sect to study this time would be so terrifying.

First-Order High-Grade Alchemist.

This is too fast.

Lin Zhishou's heart trembled, and his body was constantly shaking due to excitement.

He extended his aged right hand, patted Zhou Luo heavily on the arm, a big smile appeared on his face, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Good, well done!"

As an Elder in the Zhou Family's Pill Refining path, seeing one Pill Refining Genius after another emerge from other Longevity Families, Lin Zhishou didn't know how much pressure he had endured in his heart.

Originally, he thought he would never see a new Pill Refining Genius appear in the Zhou Family in his lifetime.

However, the appearance of Zhou Luo.

Was like a ray of sunshine in the darkness, bringing light to this despairing old man.

He saw the Shadow of the Zhou Family's revitalization in the other party.

Even if the other party was not a Lin Family member.

That's why later, he went against all difficulties, disregarded the Main Family's obstruction, and resolutely took the other party as his only Disciple.

Now it seems his decision was correct.

Years of heavy pressure were swept away, and Lin Zhishou was moved to tears, extremely excited.

The Lin Family Disciples and people from other Longevity Families behind him also learned of this news.

All were dumbfounded.

A First-Order High-Grade Alchemist in his twenties.

Looking at the secular world, who could compare?

The Lin Family actually produced such a terrifying Monster.

The Lu Family, who were originally at odds with the Lin Family, had extremely ugly expressions and were frozen in place.

"Congratulations, Brother Zhishou, for taking in such a good Disciple."

Wang Xian was the first to step forward and congratulate.

The leaders of the Li Family and the Zhang Family also stepped forward one after another.

They saw the great possibility of Zhou Luo becoming a Second-Order Alchemist and the sign of the Lin Family's rise from now on, so they naturally wanted to befriend him.

Even the Zhang Family, who had close ties with the Lu Family, wore a smiling and amiable expression.

In front of Zhou Family interests, there are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies.

"Little Friend Zhou Luo, I have a mid-grade Magical Artifact here, consider it a congratulation for becoming a First-Order High-Grade Alchemist."

Wang Xian took out a moon-white magical robe and said.

This was quite a bit more valuable than the magical robe the Great Elder gave him back then.

But facing this goodwill, Zhou Luo instinctively wanted to refuse.

But Wang Xian still forced it upon him, "Don't be reserved, the Lin and Wang Families have always been on good terms."

After speaking, he also asked with a smile in his eyes, "My Wang Family has plenty of slender and beautiful women. I wonder if Little Friend Zhou Luo is interested in taking one home as a concubine?"

"Wang Xian, Zhou Luo is my Lin Family's son-in-law."

Hearing this, Lin Zhishou's expression changed slightly, and he said sharply.

This old fellow.

He's even poaching people from the Lin Family.

Wang Xian gave an awkward smile, "Brother Zhishou, don't be angry, it's just a concubine. Just consider it a sign of good relations between our two Zhou Families."

Lin Zhishou's expression darkened, and he stopped speaking.

Zhou Luo couldn't help but glance at Wang Yuwei.

If possible, the other party would be a good choice.

But thinking about it, the Wang Family would definitely not let go of this Pill Refining Genius.

"Elder Wang, I appreciate your kindness, but I already have several concubines at home, and I am truly powerless to take more," Zhou Luo said sincerely.

"No matter, no matter, you can come and sit at my Wang Family when you have time," Wang Xian said with a smile.

"Little Friend Zhou Luo, I also have a mid-grade Magical Artifact here."

At this time, the Li Family and the Zhang Family spoke up one after another.

Since someone was giving gifts, he naturally couldn to let it pass. Zhou Luo simply accepted everything, taking both of their goodwill.

As for the Lu Family.

They now had the heart to kill him.

"Let's go, set off for home."

Lin Zhishou, in a great mood, called out and led the Lin Family Disciples out of the Dragon Palace Great Hall.
