It took Lan Bingchen a while to react. He didn't think that Nie Tian would reject him so bluntly.
Nie Tian's reaction made Lan Bingchen feel a bit awkward. He looked at Jin Mingxin, clearly asking for help.
Jin Mingxin deliberately avoided Lan Bingchen's gaze. At this time, he didn't want to interfere with Nie Tian's decision, and he felt that he couldn't.
Nie Tian was clearly not the kind of person who would easily change his mind.
"Your highness, please get up. I won't accept you as my disciple. "Nie Tian said lightly.
"Not even as an honorary disciple?" Lan Bingchen looked up at Nie Tian, his expression incomparably disappointed. This was the first time he had received such a big blow in his life.
Nie Tian said, "If you really want to become my disciple, then prove your talent to me."
"How?" Lan Bingchen jumped up, suddenly full of spirit.
Everyone had the spirit of not admitting defeat. If you say I can't do it, then I'll show you.
Lan Bingchen was currently in this kind of mood.
Nie Tian couldn't help but smile, thinking for a moment, he said, "Have you refined the Unblocking Meridian Pill before?"
"Yes." Lan Bingchen nodded, "The Unblocking Meridian Pill is a second grade spirit pill. It can help a cultivator unblock the small meridians in the body and improve their physique."
"Very good." Nie Tian smiled faintly and said, "I'll tell you another pill formula for the Meridian Connecting Pill. If you can concoct the Meridian Connecting Pill within a month, I'll accept you as my disciple-in-name."
"There are other pill recipes for the Unblocking Meridian Pill?" Lan Bingchen was stunned.
"Of course." Nie Tian smiled, "Purple Ganoderma, Heaven Essence Lotus, Three Leaf Grass, Golden Sprout, and a second grade Wood Attribute Monster Core. This is the pill recipe. You can determine the proportion of ingredients and the order of refinement yourself. No problem, right? "
"No problem." Lan Bingchen nodded confidently.
What Nie Tian said was a very simple pill recipe, but it was a test of the alchemist's patience. The proportion of ingredients and the order of adding them all had to be tested countless times.
"Alright, then I wish you good luck." Nie Tian smiled faintly. He only gave Lan Bingchen a month's time.
"Mister Nie, I'll take my leave." Lan Bingchen bowed and said, not wanting to stay for too long.
Nie Tian slightly nodded. Jin Mingxin hurriedly said, "Farewell, Your Highness."
"No need." Lan Bingchen seemed a little disappointed. She nodded and turned to leave.
The guards at the door left with Lan Bingchen.
Only when Lan Bingchen's figure completely disappeared did Jin Mingxin let out a long breath.
The three of them returned to the hall and sat down.
"Father, His Highness the Crown Prince has never had any contact with our family. Why did he suddenly appear this time? Don't tell me you're here to take me as your master? "Jin Dabao couldn't help but ask.
Jin Mingxin took a sip of tea, then turned to Nie Tian and said, "Lan Bingchen did indeed come to the Jin Residence for Mister Nie."
"He really is here to take me as his master!" Jin Dabao exclaimed, "I thought he was here for the bet."
In less than a day, the bet between Jin Dabao and Qin Yuhu had already spread throughout the entire Blue Cloud City. Almost everyone knew about it.
Nie Tian, however, shook his head and said, "Lan Bingchen must have her own reasons for becoming my disciple."
Jin Mingxin asked, "What does Mister Nie think the Crown Prince's intention is?"
Nie Tian raised his head and thought for a moment, then said, "If I'm not wrong, Lan Bingchen wants me to defeat Prince Bing Ye and become the Rookie King."
"No way!" Jin Dabao exclaimed, "The Crown Prince and Bing Ye are blood brothers. Does he not want his brother to win?"
Jin Mingxin took a sip of tea, then smiled and said, "Dabao, you're still too naive. The Crown Prince and Bing Ye are blood brothers. They are both members of the Imperial Family. Normally, they wouldn't want to see the Imperial Family lose face. But, if there's a conflict of interest between the two, and the interest is big enough, then the brotherhood is not that important. "
"They are both from the Imperial Family. What conflict of interest could there be?" Jin Dabao still didn't understand.
Nie Tian understood a lot, "Mister Jin means that Bing Ye is a threat to the Crown Prince's throne. The Crown Prince doesn't want Bing Ye to be too famous. Is that right? "
Jin Mingxin nodded and sighed, "The Imperial Family's affection is the thinnest. Especially between brothers, they all want to compete for the throne. If Bing Ye is a mediocre person, then he is the Crown Prince's good brother. But if he is a genius, and a genius with ambition, then he is the Crown Prince's biggest enemy. "
"I see. Bing Ye also wants to compete for the throne. The Crown Prince is afraid that his reputation will be too great and threaten his position. So, he wants to borrow Boss's hand to suppress Bing Ye's fame. "Jin Dabao was stupid, but now he understood.
Before, Lan Bingye had said that a monarch must not joke. That had already exposed his ambition.
Jin Mingxin smiled, relieved that his son wasn't too stupid.
"Mister Jin, do you think I should compete for the Newcomer King?" Nie Tian faintly smiled and asked.
Jin Mingxin also smiled and said, "The bet between Dabao and Qin Yuhu looks like a joke between children on the surface, but if you look deeper, it's a contest between the Jin family and the Qin family. If you look deeper, it's actually a contest between the crown prince and Prince Bingye for the throne."
Here, Jin Mingxin sighed and continued, "Whether it's the Jin Clan or Mister Nie, we are both inadvertently involved in this battle for the throne. It's impossible to back out now. We can only hope that we're not on the wrong side. "
"Dad, which side are we on?" Jin Dabao was a little excited.
Jin Mingxin bitterly smiled, "You've already made a bet with Qin Yuhu. Do we have a choice? We can only support the Crown Prince. "
"Dad, you mean to let Boss compete for the Newcomer King?" Jin Dabao grinned. He was afraid that Jin Mingxin would stop Nie Tian from competing for the Newcomer King.
"Compete!" Jin Mingxin suddenly stood up and said, "My Jin Clan's First Grade House cannot be handed over to the Qin Clan."
Nie Tian nodded and faintly smiled.
Inadvertently getting involved in the battle for the throne wasn't what Nie Tian wanted.
But since he was already involved, he wasn't afraid.
Nie Tian was a rock that had the power to change the direction of a river.
Jin Mingxin suddenly looked at Nie Tian and said, "Actually, the Crown Prince wants Mister Nie to be his master, but there's another deeper meaning."
"What deeper meaning?" Nie Tian asked.
Jin Mingxin nodded and said, "The Crown Prince wants Mister Nie to be his master because he wants to rope in the Alchemist Guild."
"Rope in the Alchemist Guild?" Nie Tian was slightly stunned.
"Yes." Jin Mingxin nodded and said, "Mister Nie is already Grandmaster Zhang Yifeng's master. Zhang Yifeng's position in the Alchemist Guild is very high. The next Alchemist Guild president will most likely be Grandmaster Zhang Yifeng. If the Crown Prince takes Mister Nie as his master, not only will he receive Mister Nie's support, but he will also become Grandmaster Zhang Yifeng's apprentice brother. Naturally, he will also receive the Alchemist Guild's support. "
"I have to say, the Crown Prince's move is very good. Unfortunately, Mister Nie is even more powerful and doesn't put him in his eyes."
