"In just five days, he managed to learn everything that I planned to teach him for half a year."
Duanmu Cheng was shocked and overjoyed at the same time. At the same time, he felt a little tired.
There was no doubt that Qin Yi's learning speed was too shocking. Now, he had to find something more advanced and more suitable for Qin Yi to learn. It was not an easy task.
According to his original plan, he would at most prepare half a year's worth of things. However, now that Qin Yi had learned half a year's worth of things, Duanmu Cheng had no choice but to find something new.
If he was given time, it would not be difficult. However, the current Qin Yi was like a baby crying piteously for food, greedily absorbing knowledge.
If he did not find it, wouldn't it mean that he was not qualified to be his Master?
No! Duanmu Cheng's pride would not allow such a thing to happen.
He racked his brains and suddenly, an idea flashed across his mind.
"My dear disciple, you have learned a lot from me these few days."
Duanmu Cheng coughed softly and said in a serious tone, "Everyone has witnessed your improvement. However, just what level you've reached in alchemy right now, Master can't grasp it either. You should know that teaching requires teaching in accordance with one's aptitude. Therefore, I have decided to test your alchemy level. "
One had to admit that Duanmu Cheng's idea was necessary.
Qin Yi's improvement was too fast, so fast that it was impossible to evaluate. If he were to prepare something new, he might not be interested.
In this regard, Qin Yi naturally had no objection.
He asked, "How do you plan to test me, Master?"
Duanmu Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "Now, I will let you and your Senior Brother compete in alchemy. Only then will I know the difference between your abilities."
It could be seen that even though Duanmu Cheng's usual attitude towards Guo Zhong was bad, he was actually very confident in this disciple who was both his son and disciple.
After all, he had brought Guo Zhong up the mountain when he was young. He had been cultivating alchemy for a very long time.
Despite Guo Zhong's usual lackadaisical appearance, his true ability was enough to crush all the other alchemists in the Yunhai Empire, with the exception of one or two top-notch alchemists.
His talent and attainments in the Dao of alchemy could be seen from lighting 12 Dark Fires last time.
Obviously, this was an absolutely powerful opponent. In addition, he had many more years of experience than Qin Yi, so it would definitely not be easy to defeat him.
From Duanmu Cheng's words, one could tell that he did not believe that Qin Yi could defeat Guo Zhong.
Even if Qin Yi's learning ability was amazing, it was only limited to his learning ability. True foundation, however, needed time to accumulate.
What Qin Yi lacked now was the accumulation of time.
"My dear disciple, I will say the same thing again. Do not be afraid of failure."
Duanmu Cheng gently stroked his beard and said sincerely, "Today, I want you to fail. Only in this way will you be able to calm your mind and better welcome your future alchemy cultivation. "
This was Duanmu Cheng's good intentions.
Arrogance leads to loss, modesty leads to gain. This was an unchanging truth.
In martial arts, there was a need to stabilize one's realm before making a breakthrough. It could effectively prevent a cultivator's strength from becoming unstable due to a breakthrough, making it difficult for them to continue improving.
Obviously, there was no such thing as stabilizing one's realm in alchemy. However, sparring in alchemy was also an effective method.
Duanmu Cheng wanted Qin Yi to accept failure so that he would not become arrogant due to his rapid improvement in alchemy.
Qin Yi nodded and said, "Don't worry, Master. I understand."
"Very good."
Duanmu Cheng nodded in satisfaction and said, "However, when it's time to spar, you must do your best and display all your knowledge. Don't try to save face for that guy just because he's your senior brother."
Although he knew that Guo Zhong had a high chance of winning, he was also hoping that Qin Yi would give him a surprise. It had to be said that Qin Yi had given him many surprises in the past few days. Perhaps he would give him a pleasant surprise today as well.
At the same time, his words were undoubtedly helping Qin Yi reduce the pressure on him.
From this period of interaction, he could tell that Qin Yi was a young man who knew how to respect others.
After all, Guo Zhong was Qin Yi's senior brother and had a good relationship with Qin Yi. Therefore, Duanmu Cheng was worried that Qin Yi would purposely hold back to save face for Guo Zhong.
Qin Yi said, "Don't worry, Master. Senior Brother Guo Zhong and I are brothers. The sparring this time is only to test our standards. There is no winner or loser. This disciple will do his best to display all that he has learned. "
"That's good."
Duanmu Cheng's eyes narrowed. He turned around and shouted, "Guo Zhong? Guo Zhong! You damned pig, did you run off to slack off again? Get the hell out here! "
Qin Yi had a smile on his face. He was already used to this unique way of communication between Duanmu Cheng and Guo Zhong.
In the past few days, Duanmu Cheng had cursed at Guo Zhong at least a dozen times a day.
In the beginning, Qin Yi might not be used to it. But as time went by, he felt that this way of communication was more relaxing.
If one day, Duanmu Cheng were to seriously converse with Guo Zhong, then there would only be two possibilities. One, he was in the middle of concocting pills and was not in the mood to talk. Two, he was really angry and did not want to continue talking.
Following Duanmu Cheng's shout, a tired-looking young man with a square face walked out from the cave at a moderate pace.
When they first met, Qin Yi thought that Guo Zhong's energy had been drained by Duanmu Cheng, causing him to be dispirited all day long.
But now, he realized that this fellow seemed to be born like this. He was like a marionette that would move at Duanmu Cheng's command.
Of course, it could not be denied that Senior Brother Guo Zhong was very similar to Master Duanmu Cheng in terms of Pill Dao. Once there was something serious, the lazy expression on his face would immediately disappear and he would become extremely focused and serious.
"You bastard, why are you so listless all day long? What's wrong with you? Look at your Junior Brother, he is full of vigor every day, as if he has endless energy! "
After having Qin Yi as his second disciple, Duanmu Cheng would inevitably compare the two of them. Whenever he compared, his' dissatisfaction 'with Guo Zhong would rise to another level, followed by scolding and scolding.
