Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

"no problem."

Xu Yao smiled faintly, and then he used his mental power to control the medicinal herbs to fly into the flames that suddenly appeared in his palm.

Using fire as a furnace, a seventh-grade alchemist!

Upon witnessing Xu Yao's miraculous skill, the middle-aged man was shocked and grabbed Xu Yao, rushing out the door and running towards the third floor of the Alchemist Association.

"What kind of behavior is this, rushing around like this? You are a fourth-grade alchemist, you should pay attention to your image."

The vice president, who was lying on a chair in the corridor, spoke calmly when he saw the middle-aged man running towards him at top speed.

"Quickly! Vice President, quickly! Arrange a seventh-grade alchemist assessment!"

The middle-aged man, panting heavily, said to the old man.

"What! The seventh-grade alchemist assessment!"

Upon hearing this, the old man suddenly stood up, his eyes, which had been covered by his brows, suddenly widened and were exposed to the air.

"Ah."

The middle-aged man nodded in agreement.

...

"Congratulations on becoming a seventh-grade alchemist."

The president of the Alchemist Association presented Xu Yao with a seventh-grade alchemist badge, his face full of respect.

A seventh-grade alchemist is extremely rare in the country. Their Fengling Kingdom only has one. I never expected that another one would appear here today.

"So, does that mean I passed the Qingfeng Sect's alchemist entrance test?"

Xu Yao took the badge handed to him and asked in confusion.

"what?!"

The president and vice president of the Alchemist Association were both taken aback upon hearing this, clearly not understanding what Xu Yao meant.

"Isn't this the alchemist entrance examination site of the Azure Maple Sect?"

Now it was Xu Yao's turn to be puzzled.

"The alchemy entrance exam for the Qingfeng Sect is in rooms five and six on the second floor... You've gone to the wrong place."

The middle-aged man said to Xu Yao, somewhat speechless.

"What?! Then all my work was for nothing!"

"Well....."

The three of them were speechless. As expected, the master's way of thinking was beyond their comprehension.

...

Finally, with the help of the Fengling Empire Association, Xu Yao became an honored elder of the Qingfeng Sect and moved into the sect.

Behind the inner sect of Qingfeng Sect, there is a bamboo forest. In the middle of the bamboo forest, there is a wooden house where a handsome man is holding a teacup and sipping tea.

Is this what life is like? It's so wonderful.

Xu Yao was leaning back in his chair, looking quite relaxed, when suddenly, Mu Qiufeng, the sect leader of Qingfeng Sect, walked out from the bamboo forest path, accompanied by a girl.

"Elder Xu, would you have time to examine my daughter's illness?"

Mu Qiufeng stood outside the wooden house courtyard, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and spoke in the direction of Xu Yao. His voice was not loud, but it could be clearly heard by Xu Yao.

"Row."

This Qingfeng Sect Master is a genuine Nascent Soul expert, the pinnacle of this world. How could Xu Yao dare to refuse his request?

"Thank you, Elder Xu."

After expressing his gratitude, Mu Qiufeng led his daughter, Mu Yunyou, into Xu Yao's wooden house courtyard.

Xu Yao stood up and gestured for Mu Qiufeng to come in for a detailed discussion.

"Tell me about your daughter's recent situation."

After seeing Mu Qiufeng and his daughter sit down opposite him, Xu Yao asked them a question.

"Sigh, it's all my fault. I've spoiled Yunyou since she was little. A month ago, her cultivation was stuck at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and she couldn't break through. I told her that you can't rush the breakthrough from Foundation Establishment to the mid-stage, but she took advantage of my inattention and stole a thousand-year-old snow ginseng to consume it without permission."

"Now it's all over. My cultivation has broken through, but my meridians are either broken or injured. I've asked every physician and alchemist in the sect, and they're all helpless."

Mu Qiufeng told Xu Yao about Mu Yunyou's recent situation with a helpless tone.

In the early stages of Foundation Establishment, this realm is very important. When one breaks through from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, the dantian will shatter and reorganize before it can form a dantian that can contain the power of Foundation Establishment.

Normally, after breaking through to the early stage of Foundation Establishment, it would take at least ten years to break through again. But Mu Yunyou couldn't wait and broke through in just three years, and she even used drugs to force the breakthrough.

With the leakage of spiritual energy from the dantian and the fusion of the still-unexploded, violent medicinal power, let alone the rupture of meridians, it wouldn't have been impossible for him to have died back then.

"Sect Master Mu, you've really come to the right person. I'm not only an alchemist, but also a physician. My medical skills are by no means inferior to my alchemy skills. You can rest assured about your daughter's illness."

Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, Mu Qiufeng immediately beamed with joy, as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart.

"However, Sect Master Mu, let's make this clear in advance: you'd better be prepared to pay me the corresponding reward after I cure your daughter's illness. After all, even brothers keep clear accounts, let alone us, who are only related by the same clan."

With his current status as a seventh-grade alchemist, he truly didn't believe that Mu Qiufeng, as the sect leader, could do anything to him.

"Haha, Elder Xu is right."

Mu Qiufeng smiled. If he didn't even understand these basic rules, what kind of sect leader would he be?

Mu Yunyou's illness is not difficult to treat, but it takes a lot of time. After all, it involves reconnecting the meridians, which cannot be done overnight.

.....

"I entrust my daughter to Elder Xu. She has a rather bad temper, so I hope Elder Xu will be lenient with her."

Xu Yao was a little confused as he watched Mu Qiufeng leave. It was just that he took some time every day to come to him for pulse diagnosis. Was it really necessary to find it troublesome and just leave his daughter with him?

He's just an innocent young man. Isn't Mu Qiufeng afraid of doing something in front of such a stunning beauty?

However, Xu Yao did not know that in Mu Qiufeng's eyes, he must be at least eighty years old, if not a hundred. After all, becoming a seventh-grade alchemist is not something that can be achieved with talent alone; it also requires time to accumulate experience.

The only seventh-grade alchemist in the Fengling Empire was a top genius in the country when he was young, but even so, he only became a seventh-grade alchemist a hundred years later.

As for why Xu Yao looked so young, Mu Qiufeng naturally assumed it was because he had taken a youth-preserving pill.

Besides this, Mu Qiufeng had another reason for keeping Mu Yunyou by Xu Yao's side: to find out Xu Yao's background!

Xu Yao's appearance was too abrupt. Bored, he couldn't find out the person's background no matter what he tried. He was really worried about an elder whose background he knew nothing about.

"Go and tidy up the east room now. You'll be living there for the next six months."

"Huh? I'll clean it up!"

Mu Yunyou pointed at herself with disbelief on her face. She had been pampered since childhood, and tidying up her room was always left to the maids. Not to mention tidying up the room, she didn't even know how to fold a quilt.

"Are you expecting me to clean it up for you if you don't?"

Xu Yao glanced at Mu Yunyou and then turned and left, leaving Mu Yunyou standing there in a daze.

Xu Yao's east room was filled with a lot of miscellaneous items, which was a huge challenge for Mu Yunyou, who had always been pampered and had never experienced hardship and had no cultivation.
