Chapter 96: Fourth-Rank Alchemist
Shen Lang looked calm and told him in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "My disciple is now a fourth-grade alchemist."
Xing Tianzi was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time, with a look of astonishment on his face.
After a while, he calmed down and couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised repeatedly: "Okay, disciple, I didn't expect you to have such a hidden ability! I always thought you were just here. He has outstanding talent in cultivation. I didn’t expect him to have such attainments in alchemy. This really surprises and delights my teacher!”
Xing Tianzi calmed down his excitement, and then said: "Disciple, alchemists are extremely rare and noble existences in the world of immortality. Since you are already a fourth-grade alchemist, you must make full use of this expertise."
Shen Lang said respectfully: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Xing Tianzi nodded and asked: "Then who is your alchemy master? How could you reach the fourth level at such an age?"
Shen Lang replied: "The disciples all explored on their own, studied ancient books, and practiced many times before they achieved the results they have today."
Xing Tianzi couldn't help but sigh: "It's really rare for your child to be so talented and so diligent. However, the art of alchemy is broad and profound, so we must not be proud and complacent. We need to keep improving."
Shen Lang responded solemnly: "My disciple understands and will definitely learn with an open mind and continuously improve his alchemy level."
Xing Tianzi said with satisfaction: "Okay, then I will prepare all the herbs you need as soon as possible."
Shen Lang said gratefully: "Thank you so much, master. I will definitely work harder to live up to your wishes."
After Shen Lang came out of Xingtianzi's place, he happened to meet his senior brother and others in the courtyard.
When the senior brother saw Shen Lang from a distance, he was slightly startled at first, then his eyes widened and he said with surprise: "Junior brother Shen Lang, how is your cultivation level? This speed of progress is simply unbelievable, it's amazing! I remember not long ago It’s really unbelievable to me that you have reached such a state before!”
When the other senior brothers heard the eldest brother's exclamation, they also gathered around curiously and talked among themselves.
"Yes, Junior Brother Shen Lang, what kind of incredible adventure have you had? Tell us quickly."
"In just a short period of time, your cultivation level has improved so much. You have left us far behind in our daily hard training. It is really beyond our reach!"
Facing the curiosity and exclamation of his senior fellow apprentices, Shen Lang still maintained a humble smile and said, "Thank you for your praise, fellow senior fellow apprentices. How could I have any adventures? It's just that I haven't been distracted during my recent practice, and I have a little understanding of the techniques. In addition, Thanks to the master’s careful guidance, I have made this little progress.”
At this time, the little junior sister hurried over carrying the unconscious eighth senior brother on her back. She was panting, with tears on her face, and said in a trembling voice: "Senior Brother, it's bad, the eighth senior brother's Dantian has been destroyed!"
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, like a bolt from the blue.
The junior sister sobbed and continued speaking intermittently.
"Someone deliberately spread rumors in the sect that Senior Brother Shen Lang has entered the Blood Sword Sect. The words are as unpleasant as they sound. The Eighth Senior Brother has always defended Senior Brother Shen Lang. After hearing these rumors, he was so angry that he argued with others. As a result, That man was so unreasonable that he was so cruel that he directly destroyed the Eighth Senior Brother's Dantian."
"I was right next to him and it was too late to stop him. The man was very powerful and his attacks were extremely ruthless. The eighth senior brother had no power to fight back. I watched the eighth senior brother fall to the ground, groaning in pain, but there was nothing I could do. "
When the junior sister said this, tears welled up in her eyes again, and her voice became hoarse due to excessive sadness.
"Eighth Senior Brother and I wanted to go to the master to seek justice, but the man arrogantly said that even if the master came, there would be nothing we could do to him. He also said that this is the consequences of meddling in other people's business."
The junior sister's body was trembling slightly, obviously she was frightened by the scene at that time.
The junior sister continued sadly: "If you want to repair Eighth Senior Brother's Dantian, you need sixth-grade elixirs! These sixth-grade elixirs are so precious and so hard to find!"
"Brothers, you must avenge the Eighth Senior Brother!" The little junior sister's eyes were full of prayer and anger.
Xingtianzi was furious, veins popped out on his forehead, and he exuded a chilling pressure. He roared: "You dare to do such a bad thing before the competition, you are simply lawless!"
His voice exploded in everyone's ears like thunder, and the entire courtyard seemed to tremble in his rage.
Shen Lang comforted Emperor Xing and said, "Master, don't be angry. It's not worth it if you are so angry. Master, you do a lot of work for us on weekdays. Leave this matter to my apprentice. I will definitely handle it properly and ask for justice for my senior brother." Justice."
After Shen Lang said that, he turned around and walked towards the place where the incident occurred.
Along the way, he inquired about everyone he met, not letting go of any clues.
After some careful questioning, he finally learned that it was actually because Zhou Qingxuan was traveling with his senior brother, and that he, Shen Lang, was just an excuse for the other party.
Zhou Qingxuan was a Taoist companion of his senior brother, but he was targeted by the shameless man and wanted to kidnap him to make a furnace.
In order to protect his Taoist companion, the senior brother fought hard with reason, and that's why he suffered this murderous attack.
Shen Lang was furious, clenching his hands into fists and digging his nails into his palms without realizing it.
He gritted his teeth and said: "You are simply crazy, how dare you do such a despicable thing!"
He searched for and questioned people along the way, not letting anyone go who might know the traces of the evil man.
Finally, with his unremitting efforts, he found the information of the villain, who turned out to be from the An family.
Shen Lang went straight to the An family without hesitation.
After a while, his fellow apprentices followed him.
The eldest brother shouted while running: "Brother Shen Lang, wait for us, we also want to come together to discuss the matter!"
Shen Lang looked back and saw his fellow apprentices rushing over. A warm current surged in his heart, but he still said worriedly: "Brothers, this trip may be extremely dangerous, why do you have to follow? The An family is quite powerful in this area, and I don't want to implicate you."
The second brother stepped forward and said firmly: "Brother Shen Lang, what are you talking about? We brothers have always been of the same blood. , share happiness and bear difficulties together. "
"Now that the eighth junior brother has suffered such a disaster, how can we sit back and watch? How can we let you take risks alone? Besides, the An family has committed many evil deeds and is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, bullying the people in the village. If we go together, we can also have more strength and a better chance of winning. "
The third senior brother also echoed: "That's right, Junior Brother Shen Lang, we are all worried that you will get into trouble alone. We brothers work together, so why should we be afraid of the An family? Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, we will go together!"
