"Chen'er, Master Lin Qing came looking for you just now, for what reason?"
Just as Lin Qing left with Zhang Hao, and Mo Wangchen was about to continue his cultivation, his father, Mo Xiaotian, walked into the yard with Xue'er.
Uh!
Hearing his father's question, Mo Wangchen was a bit stunned. How should he answer? Should he tell his father that the esteemed Master Lin Qing wanted to take him as a master, but he refused?
That was obviously impossible!
Not to mention his father wouldn't believe it, he might even give him a good beating for being disrespectful to elders...
He glanced at Xue'er, who had a hint of resentment in her eyes and was staring at him, clearly still angry about yesterday's incident of being spanked.
Mo Wangchen had no time to mess around with this little girl now, so he braced himself and said, "Uh... Actually... the reason my meridians can store spiritual power is because not long ago, I inadvertently met Master Lin Qing. He saw that I had talent in alchemy, so he intended to take me as a disciple... Later, he painstakingly crafted a special pill for me. After taking it, my meridians began to store spiritual power..."
"What?!"
"Your meridians can store spiritual power because of Master Lin Qing? And he wants to take you as a disciple, to teach you the alchemy method?!"
Hearing Mo Wangchen's words, Mo Xiaotian was astonished.
Long ago, he had sought out Master Lin Qing to inquire about Mo Wangchen's meridian problem, but the latter replied that there was no pill that could restore them.
The matter then gradually dissipated...
As for why Master Lin Qing could now refine a special pill to restore Mo Wangchen's meridians, that was not important. The important thing was that Master Lin Qing wanted to take Mo Wangchen as a disciple?!
It's known that on the Tian Nan Continent, alchemists were the most respected profession because the pills they crafted could solve many problems for cultivators.
Because of this, many cultivators sought pills at great costs, and due to their wide network, dared not offend them in the slightest.
There was once a story about an alchemist whose cultivation was modest but had high alchemy Dao skill. One day, a powerful cultivator came to ask for a pill.
However, the alchemist saw the other party's arrogant attitude and refused directly!
Later, the powerful cultivator threatened to ruin the alchemist's reputation, yet shortly after, many experts equal to or above him came, saying they were there on behalf of the alchemist, intending to cause trouble...
This shows that even if an alchemist's cultivation might not be high, they could still have many to support them due to their ability to craft heaven-defying pills.
This is why alchemists are highly respected and feared!
Mo Xiaotian never expected that his son, once a good-for-nothing, would be noticed by Master Lin Qing and taken as a disciple?!
Once the Mo Family had an alchemist, in some ways, they would become stronger!
"Uh... Yes, Master Lin Qing just accepted me as a disciple..."
Seeing the astonishment on his father's face, Mo Wangchen felt a bit guilty but didn't intend to tell him the truth, as it would arouse suspicion.
A once useless young master, not only suddenly able to cultivate overnight but also becoming an alchemist even Lin Qing sought guidance from, this news spreading could attract unwanted attention.
Master Lin Qing sought him of his own accord, which was unavoidable.
For now, the fewer people who knew, the better!
Seeing Mo Wangchen nodding in response, Mo Xiaotian felt an old comfort in his heart, becoming more and more excited while looking at his son.
As for Xue'er beside him, she widened her eyes in surprise, feeling that many things beyond common sense had happened to Mo Wangchen in the past two days. It might take a long time to fully digest it all...
"Chen'er, now that you can cultivate and have Master Lin Qing as your mentor, whether to choose the path of martial arts or alchemy, I won't force you, but you must think it through!" After the excitement, Mo Xiaotian exhaled deeply, speaking earnestly.
On the Tian Nan Continent, generally, those high in martial achievement were rarely alchemists, and those with high Dao pill skill often had lower martial arts cultivation.
Because from any perspective, no one could reach the peak on both paths simultaneously!
It required immense energy, and time was just not enough!
Hearing his father's words, Mo Wangchen nodded heavily, understanding his father's meaning.
In this life, possessing the Heavenly Dao Body, his achievements in martial arts would undoubtedly be high. In alchemy, he did not need to spend too much energy, as it was merely following the path of his previous life. With sufficient perception, his alchemy Dao skill in this life would surely not be less than in his past life!
After his father and Xue'er left, Mo Wangchen continued his cultivation.
In the following two days, apart from Xue'er bringing him meals daily, no one else came.
"You are now also father's daughter, my sister, the eldest daughter of the Mo Family, why not let servants do the meal delivery?"
Until the third day, when Xue'er came again, Mo Wangchen couldn't help but ask.
It wasn't that he didn't want to see Xue'er, but every time she came, she'd stay for half a day, hindering his cultivation, and mainly, he had things he couldn't do.
Like imprinting martial techniques for Zhang Hao, which couldn't be done in front of Xue'er, right?
"I see you acting mysteriously every day, locking yourself in your room, seeming not fully immersed in cultivation. I'm just curious, and me, the dignified Mo Family's eldest daughter, delivering meals personally, you're complaining?" After a few days with Mo Wangchen, Xue'er realized he seemed different, as if his entire personality had changed significantly.
Oh?
When did this little girl become so curious?
Mo Wangchen looked at Xue'er, his eyes shifted, then he said, "What's with the mysterious act? I'm busy creating a Xuan Rank Martial Technique daily, and you're disturbing me..."
What?!
Creating a martial technique? And a Xuan Rank one?!
Xue'er rolled her eyes, immediately classifying Mo Wangchen as a braggart, "Nonsense, I won't bother with you!"
With that, she left this place!
"What nonsense, I was being serious..."
Watching her departing figure, Mo Wangchen shook his head with a wry smile, murmuring to himself.
