Chapter 1533 – Pushing Too Far
"Yes, Sect Master!" Lin Yi nodded, "Sect Master, please give me a Fire Spirit's Fruit, and I'll find a third level refiner for you within two years!"
"Why should I believe you?" The sect master asked faintly, "You're a lone practitioner without a house or sect, why should I believe that you can find a third level refiner in two years?"
"Lone practitioners aren't necessarily weaker than houses or sects! Zhang Naipao and Feng Nitian, they're both from the ancient times, didn't they lose to me as well? " With that, Lin Yi puffed up his chest proudly, "I wonder if you've heard of this saying before, Sect Master? A hero doesn't need to be afraid of a weak background, as long as you're ambitious, you can be proud no matter where you go! I, Lin Yi, may be a lone practitioner, but how do you know that I won't have a house or a sect one day? "
"Alright!" The sect master didn't say anything after hearing Lin Yi's words, but Qing couldn't help but slap the table, "Well said! A hero doesn't need a background! A lone practitioner at this age, the strongest under the Earth class! You say you can create a house or a sect in the future, I'll believe you! "
"Anyone can talk empty words. Why should I believe you?" The Sect Master wasn't as emotional as Qing, however. She only looked at Lin Yi and asked calmly, "Have you seen a refiner before? Do you know one? Where are you going to find one for me in two years? "
"I …" Lin Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly. Lin Yi didn't know how to answer the sect master's question! Lin Yi didn't know how to explain- was Lin Yi supposed to tell her that he wanted to become a refiner?
But, he wouldn't be able to get past the sect master if he didn't answer or just brushed her off. He could tell that the sect master was young, but very shrewd. It wasn't very likely that he'd be able to trick her with some random story.
"Actually, I'm learning alchemy. Two years later, I'll definitely become a third-grade alchemist or above!" Lin Yi sighed and decided to tell the truth. That was the only way he could convince the sect master!
"You? Learn alchemy? " The sect master's eyes widened, as if she had just heard the funniest joke in the world. Even her usually cold face had a look of shock on it! Because Lin Yi's answer really left her speechless!
The sect master didn't know how to describe the person in front of her. Was he overly arrogant, or overly confident? Or was he simply lying to her?
"Yes!" Lin Yi nodded solemnly.
"Are you trying to make fun of me?" The sect master couldn't help but frown at the decision- she didn't know what to say to the person in front of her- "It's good to have ambition, but overconfidence is arrogance."
"Do you think that before alchemists become alchemists, they aren't normal practitioners?" Lin Yi asked.
"It's not that I'm underestimating you, but I find it hard to believe what you're saying." The sect master said faintly, "There are far too many people who want to become alchemists, but those who actually become alchemists are few and far between!"
Lin Yi reached out his hand, and a ball of fire appeared in it. Sometimes, facts speak louder than words. Lin Yi had to show her what he was capable of to convince her, "What do you think now?"
"Fire? You've already formed a physical fire? " Little Qing was a little surprised. Although people who could condense their Pill Fire might not necessarily become alchemists, and many people gave up halfway, all alchemists started from condensing their Pill Fire.
The sect master raised an eyebrow, clearly a little surprised, but her expression didn't change much, "Condensing a refinement fire is the first step to becoming a master of refining. But, a master of refining requires talent. Being able to condense a refinement fire doesn't necessarily mean you can become a master of refining. Too many alchemists give up halfway!"
The sect master's words struck at Lin Yi's lifeline! Lin Yi didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that the sect master was very strong. She was young, but a sky class master's knowledge was truly different.
It could be said that Lin Yi had just entered the doorstep of being an alchemist, but his control over fire was still stagnant. If he didn't make any progress, then Lin Yi would be like those alchemists who gave up halfway!
If he couldn't raise the temperature of his fire, then he would be useless. The fire in his hand would only be a plaything, and it would be useless for alchemy.
"I will work hard." Lin Yi could only say that.
"I'll believe you this once, and give you a Fire Spirit's Fruit. Within two years, if you become a third realm alchemist or above, then you will be an eternal ally of the Ice Palace. Otherwise, we will be enemies. Think about the consequences of lying to the Ice Palace." The sect master's so-called trust in Lin Yi this once was just to give face to Aunt Qing- at least she couldn't believe that Lin Yi could become a third realm alchemist in two years!
Even if he was a genius at alchemy, and had started learning from a young age, it would still take him tens of years to become a third realm alchemist. How could someone who had just learned alchemy become a third realm alchemist in two years?
If alchemy was that easy to train, then it would have been a profession long ago! In the Sky Elixir House, the young headmaster was already twenty years old, and was only a second realm alchemist. He hadn't even broken through to the third realm yet. Even in a family of alchemists like this, it was impossible to level up so quickly, let alone a lone cultivator like Lin Yi!
Therefore, the sect master didn't believe that Lin Yi could become a third realm alchemist or above. She was only saying this to save face for the Ice Palace, and to give face to Aunt Qing.
"Can I have two …?" Lin Yi asked weakly.
"Huh?" The sect master thought she heard wrongly, and gasped! Although she usually pretended to be very serious, she was just a teenage girl. She really couldn't imagine how this person in front of her could be so thick-skinned. She had agreed to give him one fruit because of Aunt Qing. She had made up her mind, and he was shameless enough to ask for two?
"What's wrong?" Lin Yi felt that his request was a bit overboard, but he had to try. Since he was here, he couldn't just save Xiaoxiao, right? His future mother-in-law was still waiting for treatment!
"What do you think the Fire Spirit's Fruit is? Like the dragon fruit, something that can be sold everywhere? " The sect master couldn't hold back her dissatisfaction anymore, "Giving you one is already good enough, how many more do you want?"
