If it was in the past, even if Ling Yuanqing wasn't angry at such a terrible result, he wouldn't be in the mood to personally welcome them. But this time was different. Although the result of the trial wasn't ideal, because of Lin Yi, the benefits that Morning Star Academy received were much greater than the Path of the Tyrant trial!
Needless to say, just the fact that Morning Star Academy was able to sit at the main table at the celebration banquet was already a huge credit to Lin Yi. This meant that Morning Star Academy would receive the support of Zhuang Yifan, and becoming a super Golden class academy was only a matter of time. This was something that Ling Yuanqing hadn't been able to do for decades.
Other than that, the news of Lin Yi asking Zhuang Yifan to speak up for the two academies had spread as well. While it was inevitable that there would be all sorts of discussions within the academies, it was still a great achievement no matter what. Anyone with foresight could see that this was a win-win situation for both academies, and it was a rare occasion for both academies.
"Master Lin, you've worked hard this time. On behalf of everyone, I thank you for everything you've done for Morning Star Academy. You'll always be our benefactor!" Ling Yuanqing said emotionally.
"Dean Ling, you're too kind. I've been troubling the academy for so long, it's only right that I do something for the academy." Lin Yi said humbly.
"Master Lin, I have a presumptuous request. I'd like you to be the honorary dean of Morning Star Academy. Would you be willing?" Ling Yuanqing suddenly suggested.
"This …" Lin Yi, Wang Xinyan, and Huang Xiaotao looked at each other. There were quite a few people here who were related to him. It wouldn't be a bad thing to have the title of an honorary dean. He hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Since Dean Ling is so kind, then it would be impolite of me to refuse."
"Alright, I've already prepared a celebration banquet. It's to celebrate Master Lin's achievements, and also to celebrate the new honorary dean. Master Lin, please!" Ling Yuanqing said immediately.
"Dean Ling, please." Lin Yi nodded with a smile. He could clearly see that Ling Yuanqing's attitude had become more polite this time. He felt a little helpless, but he knew that this was unavoidable. After all, even someone like Zhuang Yifan had to treat him as an equal. How could Ling Yuanqing continue to be arrogant? Otherwise, even if he didn't object, Zhuang Yifan's expression would probably be ugly.
What comforted Lin Yi, however, was that the Divine Nun of the East Sea's attitude towards him hadn't changed at all. After all, she was a peaceful monk, and also Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao's teacher. If even the Divine Nun of the East Sea changed her attitude, Lin Yi would really be in trouble.
At the celebration banquet, other than Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao, the three powerhouses of the Morning Star Academy and Qing Danzi were at the same table with Lin Yi. Li Ren, as the leader of the Libation, was also at the last seat. He didn't have the right, but he had done a great service, so it was a reward.
After three rounds of drinking, Lin Yi suddenly asked Qing Danzi, who was sitting on his left, "Qing Danzi, have you solved the problem you encountered with alchemy?"
"It's solved, it's completely solved. The last few times I've refined pills, it hasn't happened again. Master, you really have a good eye. I've learned a lot!" Qing Danzi said excitedly.
He couldn't be blamed for being so excited. He had only followed Lin Yi's instructions and changed a small habit, and his success rate immediately increased by several times. It was equivalent to decades of hard work. Having an expert to guide you really made a difference!
He was originally the chief alchemist of the academy, and now that the problem was solved, he could become one of the best among the seventh-rank alchemists. His next step was to look forward to becoming a mystic alchemist.
Although there was a huge gap between a yellow-rank alchemist and a mystic alchemist, even if he reached the peak of the seventh-rank, it didn't mean that he had the confidence to become a mystic alchemist!
But this was the most basic prerequisite. If he couldn't even reach the peak of the seventh-rank, then he couldn't even think about becoming a mystic alchemist.
But now, Qing Danzi at least had the qualifications to fantasize about it. This in itself was a gratifying improvement.
"That's good. In the future, concentrate on practicing and simulating the alchemy fire of various elements. This is the most important basic skill to become a mystic alchemist. You can't be careless." This was Lin Yi's own experience from refining the Solid Earth Pill a few days ago. Although he couldn't share the Godly Armament Cauldron, he still had to teach him what he could.
"Yes, thank you master for your teachings. This disciple will remember it." Qing Danzi was overjoyed. Although he had long believed that Lin Yi was a mystic alchemist, he never thought that he would be able to receive Lin Yi's wholehearted teachings so quickly. This really made him overjoyed!
Before, Lin Yi's casual words had solved the problem that had troubled him for many years. Now, his words were full of gold!
It had to be said that when he desperately wanted to be Lin Yi's disciple, it seemed unbelievably impulsive to others. But now it seemed that it was absolutely a wise and farsighted move!
"Oh right, is there an alchemist called Zheng Dongsheng in the academy?" Lin Yi asked.
"Zheng Dongsheng?" Qing Danzi was a little surprised that Lin Yi would suddenly ask about this person. But he still answered truthfully, "Yes, there is such a person. He is our academy's number two alchemist. He is also a seventh-rank alchemist. It's just that he recently went out to visit his relatives, so he's not in the academy."
"So that's how it is." Lin Yi thought to himself. No wonder he had never seen this person before. Otherwise, if Zheng Dongsheng was really in the academy, he would have already come to pay his respects!
After all, even the chief alchemist, Qing Danzi, had become his disciple, let alone a second-rank alchemist like him.
"Master, do you have any problems? Do you want me to find someone to call him back?" Qing Danzi asked.
He was the chief alchemist, and could be considered the boss of all the alchemists in the academy. Even Zheng Dongsheng had to listen to his orders. Although they were both seventh-rank alchemists, their alchemy abilities differed greatly. Qing Danzi was at least three Zheng Dongshengs, otherwise he would not have been able to sit firmly in his position as the chief alchemist.
"That's not necessary. I was just casually asking." Lin Yi waved his hand nonchalantly. With his current position, he could make Zheng Dongsheng suffer with just one word, but Lin Yi wasn't that domineering.
First, Qin Yue's matter was related to Zheng Tianguang. As Zheng Tianguang's father, Zheng Dongsheng was at most not strict enough to discipline his son.
