Digging up spiritual roots and seizing blood? You scumbags, wait and tremble.

There was still a constant stream of people coming to An Mansion, all wanting to see Zhong Ran.

However, An Ling said that Zhong Ran was tired from refining the elixir and had just taken a break, so they couldn’t see him.

Old An and Old Cheng greeted them together, especially the people from several major guilds who came to see Zhong Ran, but they didn't see him.

In fact, Zhong Ran only took a short break in the middle and then continued to refine the elixir.

When An Ling came back and saw her making elixirs again, she really admired her.

"Xiao Ran, why don't you take a break?"

Having said this, she went over to help process the herbs.

Zhong Ran smiled and said, "Let's take advantage of this opportunity to earn some spirit stones first."

This opportunity is rare.

An Ling couldn't help but laugh: "You're not short of spirit stones now, why is it like this?"

Zhong Ran couldn't explain his situation to her, so he simply said, "Who would complain about having too many spirit stones?"

"Then you should also take care of your health."

"Then you can come and help me refine it. You can calcine the spiritual medicine, and I will handle the final step of forming the pill."

An Ling's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately took out her alchemy furnace.

Why was she willing to be Zhong Ran's apprentice? It was to carefully observe her every move and then practice it when she got home.

Now that Zhong Ran asked her to make the elixir together, she could ask her for advice at any time. This was much better than learning secretly on her own.

Qing Ding also changed his technique to Zhong Ran's and imitated her alchemy technique, wanting to try whether the quality of the pills refined in this way would be improved.

Zhong Ran looked at her from time to time, without hiding anything, and occasionally gave her some advice.

After she had calcined all the spiritual medicines, she went to condense the pills.

To obtain the dragon pattern, one needs her dragon energy, coupled with her special technique to condense it.

The quality of the medicinal liquid calcined by An Ling is quite good and is also top-grade.

Zhong Ran formed seals with his hands and said to An Ling, "Watch carefully. I will teach you a secondary purification technique."

The quality of the spiritual liquid is very important to the quality of the pill that will be condensed later. Most people will just leave it as it is after refining it.

The method of secondary purification has long been lost.

So, when An Ling heard Zhong Ran's words, she was so shocked that her eyes widened and she watched her movements without blinking, wishing she could engrave all her movements in her mind.

After the second purification, she began to condense the pill. Her techniques changed, and she formed complex hand seals and slapped them onto the pill cauldron.

After all this was over, she walked back to her own alchemy furnace and continued to calcine the elixir.

An Ling immediately sat down cross-legged and closed her eyes, replaying what she had seen before in her mind.

However, Zhong Ran's technique was so quick that she couldn't remember it completely.

Even the initial secondary purification was not fully recorded.

She immediately opened her eyes and started the furnace. Looking at the five top-grade third-level blood-clotting pills inside, the patterns on the pills appeared vividly, and she grinned.

Although she did not complete the most important steps later, she was also involved, and it was a wonderful feeling.

Looking at Zhong Ran, he sighed sincerely when he saw that she was actually carving the formation plate at the same time.

"Comparison is truly frustrating! We are so focused on refining the elixir, afraid of distractions and problems, yet you can still manage to take care of the formation plate at the same time."

"What kind of monster are you?"

Afterwards, she put the pills away, cleaned the cauldron again, and processed the herbs.

She was still refining the blood-clotting pill, and she wanted to watch the secondary purification technique a few more times, learn one and then switch to the next.

If she could learn how to perform secondary purification, even if she couldn't refine top-grade pills, at least she could ensure that all of them were high-grade pills.

Zhong Ran looked up at her, then glanced at the fire in his furnace, and focused his mental attention on the situation inside the cauldron.

The two of them spent a whole day refining elixirs here. As it grew dark, Zhong Ran packed up his things and prepared to leave.

When An Ling saw her put all her things away, she suddenly realized something and quickly put them away as well.

"Xiao Ran, are you ready to leave?"

"Well, we have to leave."

Zhong Ran and Mu Jinning walked out together. Zhong Yan also pulled A Sheng up, and Yun Tianyu was also there.

"elder sister."

"Where's Mr. Cheng? Let's get ready to leave."

"The An family prepared a sumptuous dinner, and there were also some powerful people from Xuancang City, and even powerful people from the sect."

Zhong Yan's voice was full of laughter: "Now we are waiting for you, the protagonist."

Zhong Ran turned his head and looked into the yard, where two maids were waiting. When they saw them come out, their faces were full of smiles and their attitudes were extremely respectful.

"Miss Zhong, Miss An, the master of the house has asked me to lead you to the banquet."

Zhong Ran didn't expect that they would actually hold such a dinner party, but now he had no choice but to go.

When they walked out of the yard, they found that there were still many young men and women waiting outside. When they saw them come out, they all came to greet them.

"Master Zhong, I heard you are leaving here. Can I stay with you?"

"Master Zhong, can you accept me as your apprentice? I want to learn alchemy."

"Master Zhong, I am a first-level talisman master. Can you accept me as your disciple?"

"Master Zhong, I am a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. I can protect your safety. Will you accept me?"

Zhong Ran was surrounded by them, all talking at once, and all kinds of questions came out of her, which frightened her so much that she stood there in a daze.

Master? Maybe.

A fifth-level alchemist can be considered a master.

But asking her to accept a disciple? She really didn't have such an idea.

Ah Sheng stomped his foot on the ground and shouted, "All of you get out of the way."

He was tall and usually spoke loudly, and now he spoke even louder on purpose, which made everyone subconsciously step back.

Zhong Yan also stepped forward and said, "If you want to stay with my sister, it's very simple. All you need to do is beat me or Ah Sheng. Perhaps, you can also successfully challenge my senior brother."

Everyone's faces turned ugly. They looked at Ah Sheng, then all silently turned their gazes away and looked at him.

Ah Sheng looked like a physical type, and I was scared just by looking at his appearance, so I didn’t dare to confront him easily.

Zhong Yan? It was said that even Lan Yuan from the Fire God Sect was no match for him, so they were even less confident.

Then look at the young man next to Zhong Ran? He looks gentle and elegant, and he is not very famous.

But Zhong Yan called him senior brother?

Could he also be a master? But they had never heard of him.

Think about it again, before Zhong Ran was on the list, many of them didn’t know about him, and had never even heard of him.

But in just one year, she jumped from 38th place in the potential list to first place.

There is also Zhong Yan, who was also an unknown person before, but suddenly rushed into the top 20 of the list.

Are all the people around her evildoers?

But if he is really a monster, why didn't this Ah Sheng, this senior brother, make it to the top of the list?

"I am Yan Xunfang, at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. I would like to challenge this senior brother. I wonder if you are willing to accompany me?"

Yan Xunfang was much more polite in his words. It was not that he did not want to challenge Zhong Yan, but he felt that the chances were not high, so he wanted to give the low-key Mu Jinning a try.

Mu Jinning understood that she had become a soft persimmon in their eyes, and could not help but curl the corners of her lips: "We can't do it here, right?"
