Chapter 76

Everyone was sitting around idly, and since everyone present was an alchemist, they eventually took out spiritual medicines from their storage rings and began organizing them. A few alchemists gathered together, quietly discussing their alchemy insights.

Hu Donghan sat there, bored. After sitting idly for a while, Old Ancestor Duotian chuckled and said, "Little Hu, isn't your alchemy level not so good? Today, these guys are rare to have some free time. If you have any questions, just ask them! Who knows, maybe asking them will improve your skills by a notch!"

When Old Ancestor Duotian said this, Hu Donghan's thoughts raced, and he already knew that Old Ancestor Duotian probably hadn't been spying on him recently.

Otherwise, Old Ancestor Duotian would definitely know the success rate of the Qi Cultivation Pill.

Hu Donghan smiled slightly and respectfully said, "Thank you, Old Ancestor. However, I have been focusing on cultivation lately and haven't delved into alchemy. If I ask some ridiculous questions, it would be embarrassing!"

Old Ancestor Duotian was taken aback, then nodded and said, "Hmm? If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have noticed! You've made quite a bit of progress recently! You've already reached the fourth layer of Qi Cultivation, which is pretty fast for your mediocre talent!"

Hu Donghan's face turned black, and he quickly changed the subject, "Um... Old Ancestor, the relationship between you and Old Ancestor Shihun is not good, right?"

"Heh!" Old Ancestor Duotian chuckled and suddenly narrowed his eyes, "You little brat, is that something you can ask? The relationship between me and that dirty thing, can you even care about it?"

After saying that, Old Ancestor Duotian fell silent. At this moment, Bu Yun, who was beside Old Ancestor Duotian, suddenly whispered, "Little guy, the Hall Master and Hall Master Shihun are a generation apart, but they get along well. Back then, Hall Master Shihun had excellent alchemy talent, and the Hall Master invited Old Ancestor Shihun to join the Earth Fire Hall, but Old Ancestor Shihun refused. Since then, the two have been having a little spat."

"Don't look at the Hall Master always being angry. In fact, after so many years, he's long over it. The Transformation Pill for Old Ancestor Shihun to break through the Nascent Soul stage and the auxiliary pills for breaking through the Deity Transformation stage were all prepared by our Hall Master... So, don't judge by appearances and do something wrong, understood?"

"Uh-huh..." Hu Donghan nodded, indicating his understanding.

In fact, from the usual peaceful relationship between the Earth Fire Hall and the Law Enforcement Hall, Hu Donghan could roughly guess that there was no real conflict between Old Ancestor Duotian and Old Ancestor Shihun.

Otherwise, if these two Hall Masters had a conflict, the people below them would surely cause trouble, and the Yin Soul Sect would not be so harmonious; it would have long been in chaos.

After listening to Bu Yun, Old Ancestor Duotian snorted and suddenly opened his eyes, coldly saying, "Bu Yun, you're talking nonsense! When have I ever had a good relationship with that old dirty thing?" After saying that, Old Ancestor Duotian fell silent again.

However, Old Ancestor Duotian's words made Hu Donghan even more certain—

Just now, it was probably because these words were not suitable for him to say, so Bu Yun spoke on his behalf.

So, even though Old Ancestor Duotian is a tech-savvy old man, he is not someone without guile. At least, anyone who can live to the Deity Transformation stage, even if they originally had no guile, would now be full of it.

The other alchemists were discussing alchemy and studying spiritual medicines. As for Hu Donghan, he couldn't really join in—these alchemists were all very practical. Since they knew that even if Hu Donghan could cultivate the Lu Jie Grass, he had little autonomy, they didn't bother to specially curry favor with him...

Well, it has to be said, the temperaments of these alchemists are really quite depressing.

After about a quarter of an hour, just as Hu Donghan was feeling bored, a figure in white suddenly flew in. Her beautiful eyes swept over everyone and finally stopped on Hu Donghan, then she exclaimed in surprise, "Little Brother!"

The person who came was none other than Hu Meier.

After half a year, Hu Meier's clothing hadn't changed much; she still wore a plain white dress and white socks. However, her demeanor had undergone some noticeable changes.

The current Hu Meier was more alluring than before. Her once youthful face now carried a unique and enticing charm. Her deep blue eyes seemed to have a flame burning in them, gently flickering.

"Girl?" Hu Donghan was slightly cold, then rolled his eyes and spoke directly.

"Little Brother! Little Brother! I didn't expect you to come so early! I thought I would only see you after the apprenticeship ceremony!" Hu Meier happily exclaimed, lightly flying to Hu Donghan's side and taking his hand.

Hu Donghan also said, "Yeah, yeah! To be honest, I didn't plan to come. But I thought if I didn't come this time, you might move in with me later, so I had to come and see."

"Hehehe... Little Brother, you're still so mischievous!" Hu Meier didn't mind Hu Donghan's coldness—after living with Hu Donghan for so long, how could she not know that he was upset about helping her lay the foundation?

Given Hu Donghan's temperament, he only shows this attitude when he's with Hu Meier. If it were anyone else, Hu Donghan would definitely greet them with a smile and continue talking until the end...

After Hu Meier finished speaking, she turned to look at the alchemists and finally saw Old Ancestor Duotian. She respectfully bowed to Old Ancestor Duotian and said, "Junior Hu Meier greets Old Ancestor Duotian. I often hear my master mention Old Ancestor's deeds. My brother is任性, thank you for taking care of him these past days..."

Old Ancestor Duotian opened his eyes and smiled slightly, saying, "Ha ha ha! Little girl, no need for formalities! Since you and Little Hu are family, we are all family, no need to be so formal!"

"Um... It's our first meeting, and I have nothing to offer you... How about this? If you can cultivate to the peak of the Golden Core stage, I will personally provide your Transformation Pill! How does that sound?" Old Ancestor Duotian, as the Hall Master of the Earth Fire Hall, was truly generous. His offer was something ordinary cultivators could only envy and hate—

Hu Meier had just laid the foundation, and now her Transformation Pill was already taken care of...

Of course, when Hu Meier heard this, she was naturally very excited and respectfully bowed to Old Ancestor Duotian, saying, "Thank you, Old Ancestor. Meier will cultivate diligently and strive to earn Old Ancestor's reward!"

"Good! What a well-behaved little girl! Little Hu, having such a sister is truly your good fortune!" Old Ancestor Duotian smacked his lips and sighed.
