The Destiny Villain Starting from Battle Through the Heavens

Such a young second-grade alchemist is naturally no ordinary alchemist without a background. This person is none other than Liu Ling, the personal disciple of the Pill King Gu He!

As the saying goes: like master, like disciple.

Just as Gu He has been pursuing Yun Yun, Liu Ling has also been pursuing Nalan Yanran, and can be said to be Nalan Yanran's number one suitor.

The figure to Nalan Yanran's right was a young girl with fair skin and exquisite features, dressed in a purple robe.

This woman looked to be about the same age as Nalan Yanran, and she exuded an innate air of nobility. She was none other than the little princess of the Jia Ma royal family—Yaoyue!

Although Yao Yue's talent for cultivation is not as good as Nalan Yanran's, it is not far off, and she is now a two-star Dou Zhe.

In addition, Yaoyue is also an alchemist. She passed the first-grade alchemist assessment earlier than Nalan Sheng. Her teacher is Master Chemir, the vice president of the Alchemist Guild.

Led by Nalan Yanran, the three of them headed directly towards the direction where Nalan Sheng was.

"Brother, it's been a long time."

Nalan Yanran first greeted Nalan Sheng with a smile, then turned her gaze to Little Fairy Doctor: "This beautiful lady must be my future sister-in-law, right? Hello, sister-in-law~"

⁄(⁄⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄⁄)⁄

The Fairy Doctor's pretty face flushed slightly, and she nodded somewhat shyly, saying, "Hello."

"Sister-in-law, tell me in detail how you and my brother met?"

Before the blush on Little Fairy Doctor's face could fade, Nalan Yanran casually put her arm around her and asked with a face full of curiosity.

Given Nalan Yanran's personality, she wouldn't have been so affectionate towards Xiao Yixian upon their first meeting.

Nalan Yanran did this partly out of gratitude to Little Fairy Doctor for saving her grandfather's life, and partly because Nalan Su had written her a letter.

The letter was very simple; it simply stated that Nalan Jie was very fond of his granddaughter-in-law, Little Fairy Doctor.

Furthermore, Nalan Su stated in the letter that if Nalan Yanran wanted Nalan Jie to forgive her for breaking off the engagement with the Xiao family, then she would have to cultivate a good relationship with her future sister-in-law, Xiao Yixian.

It must be said, parents' hearts are truly full of love and concern for their children.

Because Nalan Su couldn't directly tell Nalan Yanran that Little Fairy Doctor had awakened the Calamity Poison Body, he used this indirect method to help her build a good relationship with Little Fairy Doctor.

Otherwise, if Nalan Yanran had broken up with Xiao Yixian without knowing the truth, Nalan Jie would probably have kicked his unfilial granddaughter out of the family.

"You, Nalan Sheng, you've really been hiding your true colors!"

Just as Nalan Yanran was gossiping with Little Fairy Doctor, Yaoyue suddenly raised her fair, jade-like fist and lightly punched Nalan Sheng's shoulder: "When did you learn alchemy? Tell me quickly! Who is your mentor? Summon him to me right now!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ling also turned her gaze away from Nalan Yanran and instead cast an inquiring look at Nalan Sheng.

To be honest, Liu Ling was also very curious about who Nalan Sheng learned alchemy from. If he had known that Nalan Sheng had such a high talent for alchemy, he would have tried to persuade Gu He to take him under his wing long ago.

In this way, all Liu Ling needs to do is build a good relationship with his junior brother Nalan Sheng and have him act as his wingman. Then, subduing Nalan Yanran, this rouge horse, will be just a matter of time, right?

"I didn't mean to hide it from you; it was the teacher who told me to do it."

Faced with Yao Yue and the others' questions, Nalan Sheng solemnly lied, "My teacher is the kind of powerful person who likes to live in seclusion and is most afraid of being disturbed by outsiders, so he doesn't allow me to talk about him to outsiders, otherwise he will expel me from the sect."

"Don't even mention you guys, even my father and grandfather only found out I could refine medicine after I passed the first-grade alchemist exam."

"I see."

When Yao Yue and the others heard Nalan Sheng say this, they didn't doubt anything. Instead, they showed expressions of sudden realization.

After all, most alchemists are eccentric, and Nalan Sheng's teacher simply preferred to live in seclusion, making him one of the more amiable alchemists.

Upon learning that Nalan Sheng's teacher was the kind of alchemist who preferred to live in seclusion, Yao Yue and the others did not press the matter further and instead discussed matters related to alchemy with Nalan Sheng.

Soon, Yao Yue and the others were somewhat surprised to discover that Nalan Sheng's alchemy skills far surpassed those of ordinary first-grade alchemists, and were even very close to those of second-grade alchemists.

While feeling surprised, Yao Yue and the others also inevitably felt a bit of pressure.

Originally, Yao Yue and Liu Ling thought that the most talented alchemist among the younger generation of the Jia Ma Empire should be one of them, but they never expected that Nalan Sheng would suddenly appear.

Yao Yue secretly resolved that she would work twice as hard to cultivate after returning home, and she was determined to pass the second-grade alchemist assessment before Nalan Sheng.

Liu Ling unconsciously clenched her fists, secretly vowing to pass the third-grade alchemist assessment as soon as possible, lest Nalan Sheng and Yao Yue catch up with her, otherwise she would be too sorry for her teacher's careful cultivation.

……

Several days later

Gama Holy City, South Market Town.

Nalan Yanran, dressed in a moon-white robe, was strolling through the market, arm in arm with Xiao Yixian, chatting and laughing.

Nalan Sheng, dressed in a black alchemist's robe, followed leisurely behind the two women, helping them pay the bill and carry their bags.

"Um?"

Just as Nalan Sheng was looking helpless, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and quickly shifted some of his attention to the system store.

The system store refreshed again, and ten new items were added.

Nalan Sheng quickly scanned the new products and finally focused his attention on two items.

【Name: Demon Slayer Dungeon Card】

[Effect: Allows the user to temporarily travel to the world of Demon Slayer and stay there for three months.]

[Price: 3000 Villain Points]

【Name: Precious Snake Blood】

[Effect: The blood of a viper raised for twenty years with various rare medicinal herbs can greatly enhance the user's martial arts abilities.]

[Price: 500 Villain Points]

Because the market was crowded and noisy, Nalan Sheng did not rush to buy the two treasures. Instead, he planned to wait until he had finished shopping with Xiao Yixian and the others and returned to his residence before making a purchase.

Time passed slowly until night fell, and Nalan Yanran and the others followed Nalan Sheng home with lingering relish.

After returning to his bedroom, Nalan Sheng quickly spent 3,500 villain points to buy the [Demon Slayer Dungeon Card] and [Treasure Serpent Blood].

"Whoosh!"

With a flash of white light, a black card and a wine jar the size of a washbasin appeared out of thin air in front of Nalan Sheng.
