Dashing Student

"Many thanks to Sect Leader Qing."

Wang Sheng cupped his hands, feeling very delighted in his heart.

Being able to bring back more spiritual medicine will surely make senior brother very happy.

"No need to thank me. If your senior brother truly has the skill and can send some spiritual medicine, we would be the ones benefiting." Qing Yao waved her hand, looking eager.

"There's no time to lose, I will go pay a visit to your senior brother right away."

With that, she grabbed Wang Sheng and directly summoned the flying boat, heading straight for the Qingshan Sect.

At this moment, Chen Nan, who was cultivating in his room, suddenly opened his eyes, as he sensed a powerful aura rapidly approaching the Qingshan Sect.

That aura was no weaker than his master, Jiang Zheng.

The first thought in Chen Nan's mind was that an enemy had come. He knew his adversary was a Nascent Soul old monster who wouldn't spare him even if he himself didn't act.

In fact, to this day, he didn't understand why Master Xuanming was always targeting him. If it was just for his disciple Zhao Kai, it seemed too far-fetched.

Without thinking much more, Chen Nan quickly made his way to the courtyard. Before he could do anything, a flying boat stopped above the Qingshan Sect, and then a woman in white gracefully descended.

The veil skirt swayed in the wind, like a fairy descending to the mortal world.

Even Tang Zhirou ran out of the room at this moment, rolling her eyes to the sky upon seeing the woman in white.

"Hmph, what's so great about her? Just a bigger chest, a slimmer waist, fairer skin, more delicate eyebrows, and a higher cultivation level?"

"She... she wears a veil; it must be because she's not good-looking... sob..."

After a round of comparison, Tang Zhirou almost burst into tears and directly returned to her room, slamming the door shut.

Chen Nan did not pay attention to Tang Zhirou but focused nervously on Qing Yao, realizing that Qing Yao was still holding his junior brother, Wang Sheng.

"May I ask who this fairy is?"

When the woman in white landed, Chen Nan stepped forward to inquire.

The visitor was clearly a friend, not a foe, he could feel it.

Wang Sheng quickly stepped forward and said, "Senior brother, this is Fairy Qing Yao from Medicine Immortal Valley, who wishes to pay you a visit."

"I see, greetings to the fairy."

Chen Nan had already anticipated someone would come to verify when others spread his reputation as a seventh-grade alchemist, so he showed no sign of tension.

He even deliberately had the sect's protection array opened.

"No problem, you must be Chen Nan, the senior brother of Qingshan Sect, indeed a fine talent."

Qing Yao nodded, but felt quite disappointed in her heart, as she sensed the young man's aura, though strong, was merely at the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment.

With such cultivation, how could he possibly be a seventh-grade alchemist?

Sharply perceiving the distrust in Qing Yao's eyes, Chen Nan only smiled slightly, made a gesture of invitation, and led them to the reception hall.

"The sect is humble, I hope Sect Leader Qing can understand."

After sitting down, Wang Sheng used the last bit of tea leaves from the sect to brew a pot of tea and brought it over, but Qing Yao did not touch it.

She stared at Chen Nan, her tone somewhat cold.

"Are you truly a seventh-grade alchemist?"

Chen Nan calmly nodded without any guilt.

"Of course, genuine and authentic."

"Nonsense!" Qing Yao scolded sharply, "You are merely at the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment. How can you be a seventh-grade alchemist?"

She was so angry because she came with hope.

"Perhaps, it's because I have a unique talent?" Chen Nan met her gaze without backing down.

At this moment, several flying boats flew in from a distance, and soon figures appeared within the Qingshan Sect.

Qing Yao looked up and recognized these people as elders from the surrounding four sects, each with early stage Golden Core Realm cultivation.

And they also brought back the disciples of the Qingshan Sect along the way.

"Haha, I heard that a seventh-grade alchemist came to Qingshan Sect, so we from several sects came collectively to pay respects. Please come out for a meeting."

An old man with a long beard, exuding an ethereal and immortal aura, stepped forward and shouted with cupped hands towards the front.

Qing Yao and Chen Nan both walked out of the reception hall.

"Oh, Fairy Qing Yao, I didn't expect you to arrive first, sorry for the disrespect." For a smoother reading experience, visit MV&LEMPYR.

Another man with sunken cheeks and eyes gleaming with a sharp light greeted with cupped hands and a smile, though without much respect.

After all, even in the previous Medicine Immortal Valley, only Sect Leader Qing Xuan was a Golden Core stage cultivator, and the current Sect Leader Qing Yao only had cultivation at the Peak of Foundation Establishment.

They couldn't compare at all with their four other sects.

The long-bearded old man shouted again, "Master Alchemist, please come out for a meeting."

Chen Nan was filled with black lines. He had been standing there for ages, and they hadn't even noticed him.

So he stepped forward, cupped his hands toward the Golden Core cultivators.

"Junior Chen Nan, the alchemist of Qingshan Sect."

All four elders simultaneously turned their gaze towards Chen Nan, with suspicion, shock, and disdain in their eyes.

"Hehe, you're merely a fourth tier Foundation Establishment cultivator; don't joke around," the long-bearded elder smiled coldly, completely disregarding Chen Nan, then strode into the reception hall first.

He plopped himself into the main seat, as if he were the owner, looking around with disdain.

After all, a thatched cottage naturally couldn't compare to the environment of other sects.

The others also entered the reception hall without the least bit of courtesy.

"You said your name is Chen Nan, right? Go and bring out your alchemist. Are you afraid of us snatching him away?" the long-bearded elder said impatiently.

Another elder, an old woman leaning on a cane, snorted coldly, "A noble seventh-grade alchemist, staying at Qingshan Sect truly is a waste of talent."

"I think Qingshan Sect might as well disband; it's simply a waste of space," the last elder, a brawny man, shouted so loud that the room slightly trembled.

"I'm talking to you, why are you still here? Quickly go and bring the alchemist over, or we'll demolish your Qingshan Sect!"

Seeing how these people didn't regard Qingshan Sect at all, Chen Nan knew they had grown accustomed to ignoring Qingshan Sect usually.

In fact, they came this time to try and recruit the alchemist to their own sect, to poach talent!

To them, Qingshan Sect was in a poor and remote area, without even a single spirit vein. How could a dignified seventh-grade alchemist stay in such a place?

This changed the expression on Chen Nan's face, and he no longer had the previous enthusiasm.

"I've already said, the seventh-grade alchemist of Qingshan Sect is me. If you don't believe it, then leave. I don't believe I can't sell elixirs?"

This remark was without any politeness, making the elders, used to flattery and adulation, change their expressions.

At this time, the Qingshan Sect disciples who had come back with them also heard their words and rushed into the reception hall.

Even in the face of Golden Core masters, they showed no fear.

"We've said it, our senior brother is the alchemist of Qingshan Sect. If you don't believe it, then just leave. At worst, we won't sell you elixir pills in the future!"
