Battle Through the Heavens: I'm Just an Alchemist

Chapter 53 Who do you think I am?

Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that Nika is telling the truth.

However, Nangong Wuxin believed he had some understanding of Nika, the little-known leader of the snake-people.

Based on feedback from caravans in previous years, it's clear that Nika isn't one of those snake-men whose brains are just full of muscles; he's a visionary and intelligent fellow.

How could someone like that be easily hurt?

Even if they are injured, they will not easily use this relationship.

After all, the relationship between the snake people and the Nangong family is very delicate, and the affection between them is pitifully small.

If he were Nika, he would definitely have waited until Nangong Wuxin truly grew up, so that the snake people could have a better future.

He was already a genius alchemist at the age of sixteen, who knew how much he would achieve at the age of thirty?

Nangong Wuxin grinned, completely forgetting who the real writer of the letter was; it didn't matter who it was.

They're not exactly close allies, just ordinary business partners, and... well...

Want the pills? Sure, but you'll have to wait.

When will it be?

Just wait!

Have you ever seen a sixth-grade alchemist who can be summoned and dismissed at will?

"Let's talk about it again when I've finished what I'm doing, when I'm in a better mood, when I don't have anything else to do, and when I still remember this matter."

……

dong dong dong.

"Come in... Hmm? Ziyan! When did you learn to knock on doors, little girl?"

Elder Su Qian paused for a moment when he saw who walked in. This girl always just pushed the door open and walked in. Sometimes, she even kicked the door open.

This time, the little devil actually knocked on the door.

There's a problem! There's definitely a problem!

Is it...

"Old man, do you really think I'm that immature?"

Zi Yan pouted; this old man really didn't understand her at all.

"Hehe... Is there something wrong with you not cultivating at this time? Is Wuxin's house finished? Do you have enough money?"

The elder chuckled; he knew this girl's temper all too well.

"Here, take these tea leaves. What's this 'dragon' thing again? Oh dear, I can't remember the exact name. Old man, just drink whatever you like."

Zi Yan threw the tea leaves in front of the Grand Elder, intending to show off the knowledge she had learned from Nangong Wuxin, but found that she didn't seem to have remembered much of it.

In fact, when Nangong Wuxin said these things, Ziyan was thinking about going into the forest to steal... get some good stuff.

Seeing that Nangong Wuxin had bought so many things with such a small pill, most of which were high-quality medicinal herbs, it was normal that Ziyan didn't pay much attention to the classification of tea leaves.

The elder looked at the boxes of tea leaves in front of him and felt a warm glow in his heart.

Ziyan may seem a bit mischievous, but she's a good child at heart!

"Okay, okay, I'll accept it. Ziyan has really grown up!"

"Old man, I only look young; I might actually be the same age as you!"

Zi Yan pouted. Why couldn't she control her mouth back then?

"Okay, okay, I misspoke. Can I get you a medicinal herb as an apology?"

The First Elder nodded apologetically and smiled at Zi Yan.

However, the trick that had always worked before failed today.

"It's alright, I forgive you. No need for the medicine; my brother said you've had a hard time too, he'll get it for me."

Although Zi Yan's explanation was somewhat unclear, the Grand Elder understood it.

He was, after all, an elder of the academy, and although some of the things he did might not seem like much, they were still not very respectable.

However, if Nangong Wuxin were to do this, then no one could say anything about it.

Is there any problem with a sixth-grade alchemist taking more medicinal herbs to improve their alchemy skills?

"Phew... Hehe, Wuxin is such a reassuring child. Ziyan, you should learn from Wuxin's strengths, okay?"

"I'm not an alchemist, how can I learn?"

"..."

The elder silently put away the tea leaves, having given up hope of teaching the girl. He only hoped that Nangong Wuxin could guide her onto the right path.

The next day, around noon.

"Come on, learn these techniques and fighting skills."

As the clansmen entered, they saw Nangong Wuxin pointing to a pile of scrolls in front of him.

The latest novel is first published here!

Upon closer inspection, these were all high-level Xuan-rank cultivation techniques and combat skills, and judging from their names, they were all complete sets.

"Young Master, this is far too precious!"

Nangong Ji couldn't help but say.

The clansmen standing nearby nodded in agreement. How could they, as collateral relatives, be worthy of such precious cultivation techniques and fighting skills?

If we let them learn this, wouldn't that be a waste?

"It won't hurt if you look at this a little more or a little less. Just learn it. I already told you yesterday that I'm short-handed. Once you learn these techniques, you must practice them diligently and come to my side as soon as possible to help me out, understand?"

Looking at these clansmen, Nangong Wuxin realized that those who could pass the Canaan Academy's assessment all possessed some talent.

They're all from the same clan, so they're reliable. Why doesn't he train a few of them?

"Young Master, this is truly too precious..."

Some clansmen dared not pick up these scrolls, as each one was worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of gold coins, enough to buy the fortunes of five or six generations of their ancestors.

They probably wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully with something like that in their hands.

Nangong Wuxin shook his head and put it another way: "According to the family rules, you can only keep these cultivation techniques and fighting skills for one month. After one month, I will take them back. Now, line up one by one. Only one person needs to line up if the attributes are the same."

"Xiao Liu, distribute these to them."

"Yes, young master."

Nangong Ji picked up the scroll and handed it out one by one.

Perhaps because Nangong Ji was closer to them on ordinary days, they dared not refuse when they saw Nangong Ji's actions.

Nangong Wuxin waved his hand, telling them to go back to their cultivation.

He followed behind these clansmen, watching them all return to the academy before preparing to leave.

At this moment, Nangong Ji suddenly ran over and whispered:

"Young Master, among the students from the Gama Empire who came with us this year, there's a girl who's exceptionally beautiful. I think only you, Young Master, are worthy of her. Would you like to meet her?"

"...Do you think I'm lacking in women?"

Nangong Wuxin quietly looked at Nangong Ji. This guy was really something. He hadn't even broken through to the Dou Shi level yet, and he already had the mind to act as a matchmaker.

"Young Master, I think it's only right for someone of your esteemed status to have a few more women by your side. Besides, as I mentioned before, that girl is your forbidden..."

"Sixth son, why don't you become the young master of the Nangong family from now on?"
