Supreme Sovereign

"After all, I'm still worried."

Duanmucheng looked at Qin Yi and said solemnly: "Broken Spirit Grass is not a good thing. The situation was urgent at the time, and I couldn't take care of many things. I just heard you say you wanted to save people."

Qin Yi could understand Duanmucheng's mood. He said: "I have used up the Broken Spirit Grass. Master, don't worry, there is no mistake."

"That's good."

Hearing this, Duanmucheng was relieved, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be stretched a lot: "But, how did you save people with the Broken Spirit Grass? Satisfy your curiosity."

Duanmucheng's eyes lit up. He was an ardent fan of the way of alchemy. If there was something new, he naturally didn't want to miss it.

"This is not something shameful." Qin Yi didn't hesitate, and immediately told him about using the Broken Spirit Grass to remove the medicinal properties of the ancient spirit flower: "All things are interdependent, and this is exactly where the inspiration of my disciple comes from."

After hearing Qin Yi's words, Duanmucheng was stunned on the spot. He looked at Qin Yi with a dull expression and could not speak for a long time.

After a moment, Qin Yi suddenly felt that his eyes became hot. The whole person looked like a miser who saw a treasure, and his whole body was emitting an extremely hot breath.

"Qin Yi, if you don't mind, can you accept me, an old guy, as your apprentice?"

"Master, what do you mean?"

Qin Yi looked at Duanmu Cheng and asked with a little surprise.

However, Duanmu Cheng did not seem to want to change his mind at all. He looked at Qin Yi sincerely and said: "I suddenly found that I, your master, did not seem to help you at all. On the contrary, you have made rapid progress in the way of alchemy, and now your insights have completely exceeded the imagination of an old guy like me."

Duanmu Cheng said it in a serious manner. It can be seen that the words just now were not said by him in a hot mind.

Seeing this, Qin Yi could only smile helplessly and said, "But you are my master. How can I ask you to become my disciple?"

Duanmu Cheng shook his head firmly and said, "These are just some secular views. What I pursue is the true alchemy. Since it is the true supreme alchemy, then naturally I can abandon secular prejudices."

"What's more, in your martial arts world, isn't there also a saying that strength is supreme?"

Duanmu Cheng ignored Qin Yi's surprised eyes and still tried to persuade Qin Yi: "In this world, everything is similar. Alchemy also advocates strength. Since your alchemy attainments have surpassed my master, then what's wrong with me becoming his disciple now?"

It has to be said that Qin Yi really didn't expect Duanmu Cheng to have such a view.

When I first met Duanmu Cheng, this old guy was a very stubborn person. Moreover, he could almost be regarded as arrogant. He didn't even take Lu Yu, a pharmacist, seriously, and even wanted to refuse to help with alchemy.

After that, Qin Yi became a disciple, although Duanmu Cheng's attitude towards him was completely different. But from his attitude towards other people, it can be seen that he still did not let go of his pride.

Today, I never thought that such a proud person would be willing to put down his status and worship a person who is hundreds of years younger than him.

There is no doubt that Duanmu Cheng is now completely impressed by Qin Yi's level of alchemy.

Of course, it was not just the fact that Qin Yi used broken spirit grass to neutralize the medicinal effect of ancient spirit flower that made him decide.

At that time, Qin Yi's remarks on Huangfu Ming's side had already made his heart turn upside down.

"Master, there is one thing I don't understand."

Qin Yi looked at Duanmu Cheng and asked seriously: "Why are you so persistent in wanting me to accept you as a disciple? Although I know that you want to improve your alchemy level, you don't have to be so anxious, right?"

Although Duanmu Cheng's approach was quite sincere and bold. It also gave Qin Yi a feeling that he would do whatever it takes.

Hearing this, Duanmu Cheng instantly lowered his eyes, and his expression became a little gloomy.

After a moment, he finally spoke and asked, "Do you really want to hear it?"

Qin Yi nodded. He always felt that Duanmu Cheng was a man with a story.

But from the beginning to the end, Duanmu Cheng had wrapped himself up tightly and had no intention of sharing his own things.

Now if he could hear something about him, Qin Yi would be very happy.

"Alas."

Duanmu Cheng suddenly sighed to the sky, and then said, "I have had the experience of practicing both Dan and Wushu. You should have known about it, right?"

Qin Yi nodded. Huangfu Ming mentioned Duanmu Cheng's practice of both Dan and Wushu once, and Emperor Yun also mentioned it in Emperor Yun's bedroom just now.

"This matter started three hundred years ago. At that time, Huangfu Ming and I were studying alchemy under the same master. We were accepted by the master at almost the same time. Since the master only had two disciples, he would naturally compare us more. It is for this reason that there is a certain degree of competition between us."

It is normal for brothers in the same school to have competition. Appropriate competition can generate enough pressure. And this pressure can be transformed into a driving force for progress.

After a pause, Duanmucheng continued: "I'm not bragging. At that time, Huangfu Ming was completely inferior to me in terms of alchemy talent. Whether it was in terms of mastery of alchemy knowledge or proficiency in alchemy, Huangfu Ming was almost completely suppressed by me. At that time, Master also valued me very much."

Having said this, Duanmucheng couldn't help but have a look of pride on his face. It was as if everything that happened back then was playing out again in his mind.

"I was still young at the time, and I was inevitably a little complacent about this kind of success. Every time I saw Huangfu Ming being scolded by his master, I felt that I was a complete genius. So, at this time, something flashed through my mind A very arrogant idea.”

Qin Yi asked: "Master, are you ready to start dual cultivation of alchemy and martial arts?"

Duanmucheng nodded and said: "That's right! I started practicing martial arts without telling my master and Huangfu Ming. Because I feel that with my talent, I can save a lot of study time compared to Huangfu Ming. And these extra I don’t have to spend my time on the same thing.”
