Although this was not a rare thing, there were many Alchemists who were stuck at the seventh level, let alone a hundred years, even if they spent their entire lives, they would not be able to advance an inch, and even more Alchemists could not even touch the threshold of the seventh level. To be able to reach the level of Qing Danzi was already very rare, but Qing Danzi was not willing to give up.
Back then, he was a super genius in alchemy. In just a few decades, he rose all the way to the Sixth Level, and then successfully reached the Seventh Level before the age of a hundred. At that time, he was famous and shocked the world of alchemy!
However, just when everyone, including himself, thought that he would undoubtedly become the next Profound-stage alchemist, he suddenly stopped moving, and he was stuck for more than two hundred years. Until today, very few people in the alchemy world mentioned his name, and even if they knew, they would only say that he was lost in the crowd.
It'd been two hundred years, and Qing Danzi's spirit was almost completely gone. He'd thought that this was the end of his path, and that he wouldn't be able to take another step forward. Who would've thought that he'd run into Lin Yi, a man who could make ten high-class Great Recovery Pills in one day, a man who had the secret to making them!
Qing Danzi's heart suddenly lit up with hope. Compared with alchemy, which he regarded as his life, everything else was fleeting, even his dignity and pride could be thrown aside. In order to go further, he directly wanted to be apprenticed to Lin Yi on the spot!
Although he also knew that it would not be so easy, and what he had done before had completely offended Lin Yi, unless there was a hole in Lin Yi's brain, otherwise it would be impossible for Lin Yi to accept him so easily. But he didn't mind, no matter what, he had to try hard, and what if he could succeed?
After all, for him, there was no such chance. It was not so easy to meet a legendary alchemist with absolute success. Moreover, he was the dignified chief alchemist of the college, and if he abandoned his dignity in public, Lin Yi would take the face of the Hong's Chamber of Commerce into account, maybe he would agree.
Listening to Qing Danzi's words, Lin Yi couldn't help but be stunned for a while. He was actually regarded as the legendary First Level Mystic Stage, this person's imagination was really big …
"I don't have much to teach you. The path of alchemy is purely taught by the master, and it depends on the individual. You are a level seven alchemist after all. You should know this very well," Lin Yi said after a moment of hesitation.
Although it was not a bad thing to accept such a chief alchemist disciple, Lin Yi had always relied on the Divine Armament Cauldron for alchemy. What could he teach such a disciple? He couldn't possibly lend the Divine Pesticide Cauldron to him, right?
"Disciple does not ask Master to impart too many esoteric secrets to me. I only ask that Master can give me a few pointers and share some of your alchemy experiences. That would be enough for me. I dare not ask for more." Qing Danzi looked at Lin Yi with eager eyes.
Of course, he knew what Lin Yi was talking about. In fact, he didn't need Lin Yi to teach him systematically. He didn't need it, because at his level, he had already formed his own style. Even if he was taught from the beginning, it would be useless. However, most of the time, what stopped him wasn't a systematic problem, but a seemingly insignificant one.
At this time, it often only needed a little pointers from an expert to make a big difference!
Looking at the other party's extremely sincere expression, Lin Yi couldn't help but be moved. He thought for a moment and said, "Well, I can give you a few pointers, but …"
According to the previous bet, from now on, the alchemy refined by Qing Danzi would be handed over to the Hong Chamber of Commerce. Because of this, Lin Yi didn't mind giving him a few pointers. However, before he finished speaking, Lin Yi originally wanted to say that he would accept him as a disciple. As a result, he didn't expect that with a plop, Qing Danzi would directly kneel down again.
"Disciple Qing Danzi pays respect to Master!" Qing Danzi immediately shouted excitedly. He hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground to pay respect to his master, forcibly holding back Lin Yi's next words.
The surrounding crowd immediately went into an uproar. The first time Qing Danzi knelt down, they could still say that this fellow was acting strangely, but now he did it again. This could only mean one thing, this fellow was definitely serious.
Lin Yi speechlessly looked at the kneeling Qing Danzi in front of him. What's done can't be undone. He was going to have a disciple for no reason, and it was the chief alchemist of the Morning Star Academy as his disciple. If this news were to spread, it would be too awesome …
"Alright, you can get up first." Lin Yi could only stretch out his hand to help Qing Danzi up. Although this wasn't part of his plan, it wasn't a bad thing. At least he got a big backer for Honest Chai, and with this disciple staying in the Morning Star Academy, he could take care of Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao. It wasn't a bad thing.
Shopkeeper Hao and the others sat on the ground with stiff expressions. Now that things had developed to this point, there was no longer any suspense in the auction. Qing Danzi was their greatest backer, but now, their pillar of support had turned to the other side, and he had even knelt down and begged to become Lin Yi's disciple. What the hell were they supposed to do?
The shopkeepers were extremely unwilling to accept this, but there was nothing they could do. The situation was against their will.
What they could foresee was that with a powerful backer like Qing Danzi, no other Hong Merchant Guild in Morning Star City would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with them. It was even more impossible for them to get an opportunity like today to kick them when they were down, because no one dared to offend the Hong Merchant Guild. That was equivalent to offending the Morning Star Academy!
However, while this result was a tragedy for Shopkeeper Hao and the others, it was a joyous occasion for everyone else. It wasn't just Honest Chai and the others, even Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao, who were still in the third room, were extremely excited.
As the two girls cheered, the Divine Nun of the East Sea was shocked. Her gaze moved back and forth between Lin Yi and Qing Danzi as she shook her head speechlessly.
It was not just her. The other heavyweights of the Morning Star Academy, including Ling Yuanqing and Wei Hebei, also stared at Lin Yi blankly.
Although they did not know Lin Yi's identity a long time ago like the Divine Nun of the East Sea, he was still a founding heavyweight after all. As long as they had the slightest impression of him, even if they could not recall it in the beginning, they would be able to recall it after some time. Right now, they could all remember where they had seen Lin Yi before. Wasn't this the guy they had planned on forcefully taking in as a disciple back then?
Back in the sea region of the South Continent, during the first public selection in Zhenduan City, Huang Xiaotao had been taken in by the Divine Nun of the East Sea, while Lin Yi had managed to get away by hiding the nature of his spiritual root. Afterwards, they met again in Wai City, and under the advice of the purchasing envoy Qin Deli, the three heavyweights personally went to the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency in order to take in Lin Yi, but they did not succeed in the end.
