Chapter 92: Mentor

After the group of new players left, Fang Ka returned to the ancient castle, prepared the necessary alchemy potions, and then headed towards the entrance of the underground prison.Once inside, he swiftly performed anti-corrosion and anti-odor treatment on the corpses before quickly stepping out again.

Watching the closed entrance of the underground prison, Fang Ka glanced towards the Merfolk Base.

It seemed that such tasks could also be delegated to the merfolk, free labor shouldn’t be wasted.

When the first batch of veteran players brings the corpse of Gana, he could call the merfolk to carry the corpse inside and then teach them to use alchemy potions for anti-corrosion and anti-odor treatments.

Then he would discuss with Xia Lin to have this group of merfolk regularly handle this kind of task for him...

Thinking it over carefully, Fang Ka thought it was a worthwhile idea. Previously, his focus was on the new players and he hadn’t considered this angle.

With his thoughts slightly collected, Fang Ka returned along the path to the lounge chair in front of the ancient castle and began meditation.

However, not long had passed before an adult Pink Merfolk approached, prompting him to gently open his eyes.

"What is it? Is there something?"

The adult Pink Merfolk immediately spoke: "Master Xia Lin asked me to find you. She said she needs to see you for something."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ka glanced into the distance.

Over there, the new players were building the sacrificial altar, each diligently carrying bricks and lumber, looking like busy ants from afar.

Fang Ka withdrew his gaze and looked at the adult Pink Merfolk in front of him: "Alright, I understand. I’ll head over right away."

The players’ hands-on skills were commendable. Since they had already started, it was likely there would be no issues.

Hearing this, the adult Pink Merfolk nodded quickly and turned towards the beach: "I’ll lead you there, Mage Fang Ka."

Fang Ka slightly nodded in response and followed the adult Pink Merfolk, heading to the nearby beach where he often met with Xia Lin.

Upon reaching the beach, Xia Lin was waiting for him near the shoreline.

Seeing Fang Ka approach, Xia Lin immediately said, "Mage Fang Ka, I’ve thoroughly studied those basic alchemy books you gave me last time. I asked you here today mainly because I have some questions to ask you."

Hearing this, Fang Ka nodded slightly. Previously, he had found numerous basic alchemy books for Xia Lin and asked her to compile any questions after her research to ask him together.

It was clearly about this now.

Fang Ka’s goal was to have Xia Lin replace him in making Blood Pool Enhancement alchemy potions for the players, thereby saving time for meditation cultivation.

"Alright, go ahead and ask." Fang Ka lifted his hand, signaling Xia Lin to ask directly.

Xia Lin promptly detailed all her questions one by one.

Fang Ka listened carefully and began to address the questions one by one after Xia Lin finished asking.

Fang Ka’s responses were thorough, taking half an hour to fully answer them, leaving Fang Ka with a slightly dry mouth.

"Do you understand now?" Fang Ka looked at Xia Lin and asked.

Xia Lin nodded enthusiastically like a little chick pecking at rice: "Thank you, Lord Fang Ka, your answers were so detailed and easy to understand. You must have put a lot of effort into them."

Fang Ka waved his hand gently: "As long as you can understand, that’s all that matters."

After all, the sooner Xia Lin delved into the alchemy domain, the sooner he could become a carefree manager fully devoted to meditation cultivation.

Hearing this, Xia Lin pondered for a moment, then decisively spoke up: "Lord Fang Ka!"

"I know this request is quite presumptuous, but I still wish to ask, may I call you Mentor Fang Ka in the future? Your guidance to me now is no different from that of a mentor."

Fang Ka was slightly taken aback, instinctively recalling Kain.

But he quickly shifted his thoughts back: "Of course, if you wish."

This was clearly to Fang Ka’s advantage, so naturally, he wouldn’t refuse.

Xia Lin nodded excitedly: "Thank you, Mentor Fang Ka, for your guidance in alchemy."

Fang Ka waved it off: "It’s nothing. It’s just some basic entry-level stuff. I’ll find some advancement alchemy books for you later to study."

"Oh, by the way, these advanced alchemy books are more difficult to understand."

"And if some parts are unclear, they can affect other areas."

"How about this, from now on, I’ll set aside some time each evening to come by. You can tell me any questions from the day, and I’ll provide explanations."

Spending time on Xia Lin now was to save more time in the future.

Once Xia Lin mastered the making of alchemy potions, she could take over a large portion of his work.

Upon hearing this, Xia Lin was overwhelmingly excited. Her greatest pursuit in life was knowledge, and this was simply the greatest gift and surprise to her.


"Thank you, Mentor Fang Ka! I will work hard!"

As she finished speaking, Xia Lin signaled the adult Pink Merfolk to return the basic alchemy books Fang Ka had given her earlier.

The adult Pink Merfolk quickly took them and then approached Fang Ka with the books in both hands: "Lord Fang Ka, your books."

Fang Ka nodded to Xia Lin and then accepted the books: "Xia Lin, wait a moment; I’ll get those advanced alchemy books for you now."

With that, Fang Ka walked towards the ancient castle with the books in hand.

Watching Fang Ka’s departing figure, Xia Lin swam enthusiastically back and forth in the water, even leaping and splashing a series of water sprays with her tail.

Noel, leaning against a nearby rock, yawned a bit lethargically: "Sister Xia Lin, is it necessary to be this excited? They’re just some old books."

Xia Lin stopped, giving Noel a glare: "Noel, don’t say that. Those are treasures, knowledge is priceless."

Noel’s hand emitted a faint golden battle energy.

This was a sign of qualitative change reaching high tier knight level.

Then Noel gently waved her hand, and a nearby rock shattered to pieces: "What’s the use of knowledge? I think fists are more useful. By the way, Sister Xia Lin, would you allow me to challenge the other knights to a spar? I feel like my bones are getting rusty."

Xia Lin looked at Noel helplessly: "Noel, girls shouldn’t be so violent! And besides, knowledge is power for mages!"

"As for fighting, that’s absolutely not allowed, it would damage the camaraderie among the tribe."

"If you dare to act on your own, I’ll be mad at you."

Hearing this, Noel made a pained expression, gloomily sitting down, cradling her face with her hands, staring at the Skyrim.

When will I be able to have a proper fight?
