Lin Buzheng's performance in the entrance test was mediocre. He didn't show any heaven-defying bloodline or physique and he was the last on the outer disciple ranking. No matter how you looked at it, he couldn't be compared to the other nine prodigies.
However, it was an indisputable fact that Lin Buzheng knocked Chu Fantian out with a cauldron during the entrance test.
Chu Fantian's talent was unparalleled and he suppressed the other eight prodigies. Since Lin Buzheng defeated him, he was naturally qualified to be one of the top ten prodigies of the outer sect.
In other words, Lin Buzheng stepped on Chu Fantian to become one of the top ten prodigies of the outer sect.
Although no one could find any fault with this method of advancement, it was still a bit of a trick, and could not be considered to be upright. It was precisely because of this that most of the Outer Court Disciples did not look favorably upon Lin Buzheng's true strength at all. They felt that he would definitely reveal his true colors in the test in a month, and it was impossible for him to pass.
"Since ancient times, the top ten prodigies of the outer sect are all seeded contestants that have the chance to enter the inner sect. They are always in the top ten of the outer sect ranking and are invincible in the outer sect."
"Not only is Brother Lin ranked last on the outer sect ranking, there's also a high chance that he won't be able to pass the test a month later and will be kicked out of the Sect. It'll definitely cause a huge reaction in the Sect and will even be remembered by the outer sect disciples. Just thinking about it makes me envious!"
Wu Ya Zui said excitedly.
"Envious?"
"I don't see it. What's there to be envious about?"
Lin Buzheng was speechless. The more he chatted with Wu Ya Zui, the more he felt that there was something wrong with this person's mind.
However, Wu Ya Zui was right. He was ranked last on the outer sect ranking but still became one of the top ten prodigies of the outer sect. If he was kicked out of the Sect in less than a month because he couldn't pass the test, his reputation in the Sect would be ruined.
Not only that, his reputation as one of the top ten prodigies of the outer sect would also be ruined.
From then on, no one would be proud of being one of the top ten prodigies of the outer sect anymore. They would only avoid it and treat it as a shame.
"Brother Lin, farewell!"
"One month later, when the test of Floating Like Dreams begins, I will be there to observe!"
Wu Ya Zui waved at Lin Buzheng and left with a smile.
Wu Ya Zui was different from Lin Buzheng. Although he was at the bottom, he wasn't at the bottom. He wasn't even in the bottom thousand. Naturally, he didn't have to rush to participate in the assessment.
"It's really a crow of death. Nothing good happens every time it comes!"
Lin Buzheng quickly calmed down and stopped thinking about it. He went to the Outer Sect's cafeteria to eat.
"Beep! Outer sect disciple Yun Weiwei is calling you, do you want to answer? "
During the meal, Lin Buzheng suddenly received a notification from his identity token.
Lin Buzheng put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and immediately accepted. He was curious. Strange, why is Weiwei looking for me?
Yun Weiwei's personality was introverted. She was a man of few words and didn't like to communicate with others. However, right now, she was contacting Lin Buzheng on her own initiative through her identity plate. Naturally, Lin Buzheng was extremely curious and couldn't guess why Yun Weiwei was contacting him.
"Senior Brother Lin, I have something to trouble you with."
"Do you have extra Spiritual Stones? I want to buy some herbs. After the Sect distributes the Spiritual Stones, I'll return them to you … "
Yun Weiwei said hesitantly.
"Yes."
"I'm at the Outer Sect's cafeteria. Come and get it!"
Lin Buzheng heard this and his expression didn't change. He signaled Yun Weiwei to come find him.
"Big Brother Lin is the best!"
Yun Weiwei's joyful voice came from the other end of the identity token. Then, the connection between the identity tokens was suddenly cut off. During this process, Lin Buzheng seemed to hear the explosion of the medicine cauldron.
"It's just a few Spiritual Stones."
Lin Buzheng muttered to himself. He didn't take this matter to heart and continued to eat.
Outside Eternal Peace City, in the Demonic Dragon's treasure vault at the bottom of the lake, he had found and taken away countless strange jade stones. Later, it was proven that these were Spiritual Stones of the highest grade. In ancient times, these were the Spiritual Stones used by the martial arts masters as currency.
In this era, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth had become extremely thin. This kind of Spiritual Stones was even more valuable. Under normal circumstances, only Earthly Venerables or even Heavenly Venerables had the qualifications to use them.
The Spiritual Stones used by the Chongsheng Sect and the Evergreen Sect were low-grade Spiritual Stones that only contained a thin amount of Spiritual Qi. The Divine Might Sect's Outer Sect disciples were mid-grade Spiritual Stones, which were not as valuable as Spiritual Stones.
One Spiritual Stone could be exchanged for one hundred high-grade Spiritual Stones, one thousand mid-grade Spiritual Stones, and ten thousand low-grade Spiritual Stones. At present, Lin Buzheng had more than a thousand Spiritual Stones. Before entering the Inner Sect, he didn't have to worry about running out. If Yun Weiwei was short on money, Lin Buzheng didn't mind lending her some.
"Meow, you're finished!"
However, at this moment, Little Grey, who was lying on Lin Buzheng's shoulder, revealed a sly smile. "Do you really think that girl doesn't need a lot of Spiritual Stones?"
Surprised, Lin Buzheng put down his chopsticks again. "Isn't that the case?"
At present, Yun Weiwei's cultivation was only at the Middle Spirit Path. She could only refine Spirit Path Elixirs. At most, she could only try to refine Earthly Path Elixirs. Correspondingly, the Spiritual Herbs she needed were only Spiritual Herbs of the highest grade or the remnant of a half-step Holy Herb. The price was about a few dozen to a hundred mid-grade Spiritual Stones. Lin Buzheng was sure that he could afford it.
"Right now, the herbs that Yun Weiwei needs to buy can indeed be bought with mid-grade Spiritual Stones. But what about in the future?
"As her cultivation increases, the herbs she needs to concoct pills in the future will become rarer and rarer. The price will also become higher and higher. She will need hundreds of High Grade Spirit Stones or even King Stones. Will you be able to afford it then? Now that you've made a bad start, I'm afraid it won't be easy to clean up in the future! "
As Little Grey had said, alchemists had a high status in the Martial Arts World. They could refine many elixirs and solve the various needs of martial artists. However, they were not born to be alchemists. They had to practice countless times. During this period, the cost would be astronomical. Moreover, they only paid in but not out. The expenses could even bring down a small Sect.
Now that Lin Buzheng had agreed to lend Yun Weiwei Spiritual Stones, it was undoubtedly just the beginning. If the latter came to borrow Spiritual Stones from him in the future, Lin Buzheng would find it hard to refuse. In the long run, he would not be far from being a pauper.
Lin Buzheng frowned. "So according to you, I should refuse Yun Weiwei?"
But in his heart, he secretly decided that even if Xiao Hui did not agree, he would do his best to help Yun Weiwei within the limits of his capabilities.
"Refuse? Why should I refuse? I was just joking with you. You really are a fool! "
"This is your only chance to build a relationship with the future Alchemy Emperor!"
Little Grey said with a serious expression.
As long as an alchemist wanted to grow into a master alchemist, they would need the support of a powerful force.
This force could be his own clan, or the force or family that he was a guest of. However, the essence was the same. When an alchemist was weak, the force supporting him would provide him with all the expenses he needed. When he grew stronger, he would refine the corresponding elixirs to support his force, forming a virtuous cycle.
Right now, Yun Weiwei's talent in alchemy had only just begun to show itself. There was no powerful force that was discerning enough to support her. If Lin Buzheng could take on this role and support Yun Weiwei's growth, then in the future, when she succeeded in alchemy, the benefits she could provide Lin Buzheng would be unimaginably great!
Lin Buzheng nodded. "That's a good idea! I remember that not long ago, you stole a lot of Emperor Stones from Qin Mutian and the other Emperors. Why don't you take out a few and invest them in Yun Weiwei? In the future, there will be many benefits for you. "
