Battle Through the Heavens: I'm Just an Alchemist

Chapter 81 Departure

"Since it's inconvenient for Senior Hai Bodong, let's just forget about it. Never mind what I said."

Nangong Wuxin noticed Xiao Yan coming out and ended the conversation.

That's true. Hai Bodong has to follow Xiao Yan, and it's their first time meeting, so he might not be able to use his true skills in the lesson.

"Junior Brother Xiao Yan, how are you?"

Nangong Wuxin noticed Xiao Yan's gaze and got up to walk over.

"Senior, I'd like three portions. Two will be traded for four bottles of Amethyst Source, and the other for this lotus seed. Is that alright?"

Xiao Yan carefully took out a lotus seed that was born from the Green Lotus Earth Core Flame. The fire attribute energy contained within it made Nangong Wuxin take notice.

"good!"

Nangong Wuxin quickly put it away, then took out two bottles of Spirit Nourishing Incense from his storage ring and handed them to Xiao Yan.

After receiving it, Xiao Yan also took out three bottles of Purple Crystal Source.

"Senior, please keep the lotus seeds involved in this transaction a secret, or I'm afraid I won't have peace of mind."

"Don't worry, junior."

Looking at Nangong Wuxin's determined eyes and the warm aura emanating from him, Xiao Yan subconsciously believed that Nangong Wuxin was definitely not a bad person.

Xiao Yan scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said:

"Senior, I'd like to borrow your quiet room for a bit, is that alright?"

"Sure, is three days enough?"

Nangong Wuxin noticed the lotus seed in his storage ring, thinking to himself that he would eat it when he got back!

As for borrowing the quiet room, that's no problem at all. Although he doesn't think he's that great, he's still quite confident.

"Thank you, senior. It won't take three days; one or two hours will be enough."

Xiao Yan smiled with delight. He hadn't expected that this senior, whom he had only ever seen from behind, would be so easy to talk to.

No wonder all the young ladies in the Xiao family dream of marrying Nangong Wuxin, and they even fight over their dreams!

Two and a half hours later, Xiao Yan and Hai Bodong quickly left Huangshi City.

I wonder if he achieved his wish?

Watching the two figures leave, Nangong Wuxin shook his head.

The Alchemist Conference is in just over three months. If things go wrong, he might end up being dragged into being a judge...

Thinking of that scene, Nangong Wuxin shook his head slightly and flew straight back home.

He took out two bottles of Purple Crystal Source, mixed them, and divided them into two portions, one for his mother and one for Ling'er, to help her break through to the Dou Wang realm.

Then Nangong Wuxin took out another Cold Marrow Branch and prepared it in the same way.

Besides being one of the main ingredients for refining the Breakthrough Pill, the Frost Marrow Branch can also make ice-attribute battle qi more ruthless and of better quality. Countless ice-attribute experts want to absorb the Frost Marrow Branch to enhance their own ice battle qi.

However, compared to using it to refine the Breakthrough Pill, letting someone with ice-attribute battle qi directly absorb the Frost Marrow Branch is somewhat wasteful.

However, since it's all used on our own people, even if it's wasteful, it's worth it!

Nangong Wuxin thought to himself.

Unfortunately, his father's fighting spirit was earth-attribute, so he could only select some high-grade medicinal herbs with similar attributes from the herbs he had on him and make a random concoction.

The effect is certainly not as good as that of the Purple Crystal Source, but it can still have some effect.

And then there's A-Jing, whose dark attribute is truly rare, making it even more difficult to find rare and precious materials with the corresponding attribute.

"Ah Jing, I'm sorry, I can only give you one Battle Spirit Pill for now."

Nangong Wuxin put away the prepared ingredients and sighed helplessly. He didn't have many medicinal herbs that corresponded to the dark attribute; even a skilled cook can't cook without rice.

Behind him, a pair of arms wrapped around Nangong Wuxin's waist: "Master, being able to stay by your side at all times is the best reward for me."

Nangong Wuxin was taken aback, somewhat surprised.

"Ah Jing can say sweet nothings now, huh? Hahahaha..."

The next moment, Nangong Wuxin turned around, hugged A Jing tightly, and spun her around.

Ajing nestled quietly against Nangong Wuxin, closing her eyes to enjoy the warm embrace. At that moment, time seemed to slow down.

Bang!

Suddenly, a loud bang, like a thunderclap in a clear sky, resounded over Huangshi City.

The leisurely drifting white clouds in the sky were shattered by the shock. After a violent tremor of the energy of heaven and earth, everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

On Nangong Wuxin's side, however, there was another figure.

Seeing the two embracing, Lin Lang, who had just broken through to the Dou Zong realm, felt as if he had arrived at the wrong time.

"Congratulations to Elder Lin for achieving his wish, successfully breaking through the shackles, and advancing to the Dou Zong level!"

Nangong Wuxin gently patted A Jing on the back. A Jing understood what Nangong Wuxin meant and immediately left the courtyard to notify the others to come over.

"This time, we really have to thank you, young master. Otherwise, how could I have dared to attempt the Dou Zong realm breakthrough without any pressure?"

The latest novel is first published here!

Lin Lang remained extremely respectful, because he knew that his current cultivation level as a Dou Zong was likely the pinnacle of his life.

However, Nangong Wuxin has already achieved such success, and he will surely reach even greater heights in the future. At that time, even a Dou Zong might not be of any interest to him.

If he were to become arrogant at this moment, he would truly be the biggest fool in the world.

"Hehe, this is all due to Elder Lin's own accumulation; I'm just adding icing on the cake."

Soon, A-Jing had gathered everyone over.

"Congratulations, Elder Lin, on your advancement to Dou Zong. We'll be relying on you a lot in the future."

"Haha, you're too kind. If it weren't for you, young master, I don't know how many more years I would have wasted."

Both sides were sensible people, and the scene was very harmonious.

That evening, Lin Lang and the higher-ups of the Nangong family sat together and had a drink together.

Lin Lang knew Nangong Wuxin's personality very well. No matter what, it would be right to maintain good relations with the young master's family!

In fact, this was not only a celebratory banquet to celebrate Lin Lang's breakthrough to the Dou Zong level, but also a farewell dinner.

The group left Huangshi City early the next morning without disturbing the others.

Only Nangong Jue and Chen Xiaoxiao, a married couple, stood on the rooftop, looking at the rising sun in the sky, feeling a little reluctant to leave.

However, they understood that Nangong Wuxin was still young, and it was the time for young people to go out and make their way in the world.

They believed that with Nangong Wuxin's talent and personality, there would be no accident.

They were even more convinced that they would be in for a surprise when they saw their son again!

……

"I'm leaving home now; I'd like to spend more time with my wife."

Ling'er looked at the increasingly blurry outline of the city behind her, feeling somewhat reluctant to leave.

Azi, standing nearby, quipped, "Heh, you crazy girl, have you forgotten you're still a student?"

"...I haven't forgotten! I'm a student of the Inner Court of Canaan Academy!" Ling'er shook her head and said it out loud, then looked at Azi with a straight face.

"Ice cube, I think you're the one who forgot!"

"boring."

Azi glanced at the crazy girl, twitched her lips, and decided not to get entangled with her any further.

Ling'er stood proudly with her hands on her hips. This ice block had just admitted defeat. Sure enough, she was the second mistress of this family!
