Elder Lingxin's beautiful eyes flickered, and she said noncommittally, "I don't have much to teach them. A master can lead the way, but cultivation depends on the individual. I've already led them in. As for what they can achieve, it depends on their own luck. It has nothing to do with me. "
"Junior Sister, you're too humble. How can a disciple you've taught be bad?" She smiled faintly and glanced at Lingxin with a teasing smile. "Yu 'er, come and greet your Senior Brother and Senior Sister."
She called out softly, and the little boy with a calm expression walked up to them. He glanced at Chu Chen and Qing Yue and said, "In the path of alchemy, the strong are respected. Your cultivation levels are too low, you don't have the qualifications for me to greet you."
Qingyue's face turned red from his words. Chu Chen frowned slightly. This kid really didn't know his place and deserved to be taught a lesson.
"Kid, no matter how strong you are, you have to be polite. No matter how weak your Senior Sister and Senior Brother are, they are still seniors." Elder Hui Xin was stunned for a moment, then she patted her disciple's head with a smile. However, her actions were very gentle. Rather than calling it a reprimand, it was more like praise. "You have to know that your Uncle-Master Lingxin's medicine refining skills are unparalleled. No one can go against her in this Biquan Xianzong!"
"Just because Master is strong doesn't mean anything," Xuan Yu said lightly. "Mediocre talents are destined to be mediocre no matter how good a Master is."
Senior Sister Qingyue's face turned uglier and uglier after hearing this.
"You, don't look down on the heroes of the world. Your Uncle-Master Lingxin is a genius. Her disciples are naturally outstanding youths." Elder Hui Xin poked Xuan Yu's forehead lightly again.
"Outstanding youths? Are they the ones Master is talking about? " Xuan Yu's face was full of disdain. He pointed at Chu Chen and said, "Someone who hasn't even reached the level of a beginner medicine master. This outstanding youths can be any random cat or dog!"
"Yu 'er, don't be rude," Elder Hui Xin said, but the look of disdain on her face was the same as that of her precious disciple.
"Then this outstanding youths, do you dare to compete with me?"
Xuan Yu's gaze turned and stopped on Chu Chen. His eyes were filled with disdain!
Elder Lingxin could not bear to watch this scene any longer. Her face darkened. This pair of master and disciple were echoing each other. They were simply here to cause trouble.
"This … You have to ask your Uncle-Master Lingxin for her opinion." Elder Hui Xin smiled and looked at Elder Lingxin with a provocative look in her eyes.
Elder Lingxin frowned slightly and glanced at Chu Chen subconsciously.
She was also an extremely arrogant person, and her temper could be said to be quite eccentric, which caused her to be unable to accept a satisfactory disciple for so many years.
Although Qing Yue appeared to be obedient, she was actually a young girl with her own thoughts. She was not very interested in the path of apothecary. It was only because he took her in that she did her duty as a disciple.
If she did not agree to Elder Hui Xin's aggressive challenge, it would seem that she was a little afraid. In front of this Senior Sister, she would inevitably lose the limelight.
One had to know that she had known this Senior Sister for many years. Both of them were extremely competitive, but in reality, they had been competing openly and secretly for many years. She had never lost before.
However, if she agreed and Chu Chen lost to Xuan Yu, she would be greatly embarrassed. Although that little boy was not very likable, his qualifications as an intermediate level apothecary could not be faked.
How many days had Chu Chen learned the art of apothecary? He had only learned from her for about a month! Strictly speaking, he could not even be considered a beginner. How could he compete with an intermediate level apothecary?
Thinking of this, Elder Lingxin could not help but hesitate. Before she could say anything, Xuan Yu snorted coldly. "Forget it. Looking at him, he does not dare to compete with me. Mediocre people will always be mediocre people. I'm afraid the teacher did not teach him well! "
"How dare you! Yu 'er, how could you say that? Apologize to Uncle-Master Lingxin."
Elder Hui Xin deliberately put on a stern face, but secretly gave Xuan Yu an encouraging look.
Xuan Yu understood and said, "Yu 'er knows his mistake. I have offended Uncle-Master Lingxin. Please punish me."
Chu Chen saw that this pair of master and disciple were echoing each other, but they didn't seem to be apologizing. They were totally provoking him. Elder Lingxin's face fell.
"Elder Lingxin's alchemy skills are extensive and profound. I only know a little about it. In fact, Elder Lingxin has not deliberately taught me. She has only occasionally given me a few pointers when helping others with alchemy. Even so, I am qualified to teach Junior Brother Xuanyu on the path of alchemy."
The moment Chu Chen's words came out, everyone was stunned!
Xuan Yu was very surprised. He did not expect that this apprentice apothecary who looked like he did not know anything would dare to turn the tables on him.
Elder Hui Xin's heart sank. She secretly thought that Lingxin's disciple was indeed as cunning as her. He kept saying that he had only been taught a few times by Lingxin. Even if he lost, he would still have a way out. After all, it was not a big deal for her genius disciple to win against a handyman.
Lingxin was the most surprised. Although she knew that Chu Chen's talent was outstanding, the time he spent learning apothecary was too short. Now, he actually said that he wanted to teach Xuan Yu, who was already an intermediate apothecary.
"What arrogance. A mere apprentice apothecary wants to 'teach' my Yu 'er." Elder Hui Xin flung her sleeves and looked coldly at Chu Chen.
"Cut the crap. Let's see who's the real deal. Open the cauldron!"
Lingxin also waved her hand. At this time, she could only choose to support her disciple, Chu Chen.
When the competition began, Chu Chen and Xuan Yu began their respective preparations.
Chu Chen slowly prepared, but Xuan Yu's moves were like the wind, as if everything was under his control.
There were all kinds of tools in the Ancient Hall of Medicine Refinery. It was more than enough to gather two complete sets of tools.
Chu Chen and Xuan Yu quickly gathered a set of eight stones, five metals, four woods, and three yellows to separate the herbs, a cauldron to wash the herbs, and a jade plate and bowl to mix the herbs.
"That's right. It's rare for our disciples to compete. Why don't we add some prizes to the competition?" Elder Hui Xin pretended to be relaxed as she looked at her two busy disciples.
"What prizes do you have?" Elder Lingxin glanced at her coldly.
"If my unfilial disciple is lucky enough to win, I want your 'Green Demon' cauldron!"
Elder Hui Xin's eyes flashed with excitement. She pointed at the bronze cauldron in the center of the Ancient Hall of Medicine Refinery.
Chu Chen thought to himself, What a ruthless woman.
Ever since he entered the Ancient Hall of Medicine Refinery for the first time, he had noticed the enormous bronze cauldron. The cauldron was extremely precious. Even Elder Lingxin had not used it many times. She would only use it to refine extremely precious elixirs like the Purple Cloud Golden Pill. Usually, he was not allowed to touch it.
He had asked a few times. He only knew that the cauldron was obtained by Elder Lingxin in an ancient relic when she went on an adventure when she was young. According to the ancient records, the cauldron was famous even in the ancient times. However, it was damaged in a fierce battle in the ancient times and lost all its magical properties.
Even so, the 'Green Demon' cauldron was much better than an ordinary cauldron. After all, it was an ancient cauldron. It contained some of the mysteries that had been lost until now. It was the most precious treasure of a pharmacist.
It seemed that Elder Hui Xin had come to put on a show with her disciples for this cauldron!
"Okay!"
As Chu Chen expected, Elder Lingxin frowned slightly and agreed. She was a straightforward person. Since she agreed to the competition, she naturally would not hesitate and act like a little girl.
