"Master, why didn't you inform me right away about your arrival?" Alchemist Ren said in a panic.
"If I knew you were coming, then I wouldn't dare to go into seclusion."
Alchemist Ren's attitude and demeanor had thoroughly frightened the crap out of Chau Zhimen. The person that he kept regarding as a pervert and molester was suddenly being held in high regard by the person he respected his whole life.
'Heavens… why are you playing with my puny heart?' Chau Zhimen felt like crying. His chance of ever becoming a disciple of Alchemist Ren can be said to be down the drain.
Why would he accept him as a disciple if he ever learned of his previous action?
Thankfully, Jiang Ming wasn't a petty person as he grabbed the pill from Alchemist Ren's palm.
With a sniff, Jiang Ming showed a disgusted expression. "Tch, it's just 87% purity and you came out all happy. Are you trying to shame me now?"
"Y-Yes, Master… this disciple is wrong." Alchemist Ren was like a submissive bitch, not daring to even make any unnecessary sound as Jiang Ming began to scold him.
"Next time you get happy from producing this kind of crap, then you can stop calling me Master." Jiang Ming said in anger, throwing the pill back to him.
Jiang Ming then pulled Chau Heung closer to him and leaned on her. He needed to lean on her smooth and soft skin to calm his anger.
After all, he was disappointed at Alchemist Ren's attitude as an alchemist. If people were to hear about his disciple only managing to refine an 87% purity pill, then he was sure to be the laughing stock of the century.
Of course, everything was according to Jiang Ming's standard and not the Northern Continent.
'Screw this damn pervert! To be able to refine a fourth-rank 87% purity pill is an achievement. How could he lecture and scold Senior Ren like that?' Chau Zhimen was cursing out of his mind. He no longer understood what the hell was going on anymore.
As for Chau Heung, she remained still and allowed Jiang Ming's cheeky hand to roam around her body. She was more certain about Jiang Ming's influence by seeing and listening to the tone of Alchemist Ren.
Although she wasn't purposely scheming to get close to Jiang Ming, she was still a weak girl that hoped to be protected by a strong and capable man.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ming had scolded enough as he glared at Alchemist Ren.
"This person is Chau Heung and I want you to take care of her when I'm not here." Jiang Ming ordered.
Alchemist Ren finally took notice of Chau Heung and saw that she was a beauty. Despite that, his eyes revealed no lust since his mind and body had already been taken by alchemy.
"Rest assured, Master. I'll make sure to announce that she's under my care and if anyone dares to bully her, I'll ruin their life and family." Alchemist Ren said solemnly.
"Oh right, and this brat here is Chau Heung's little brother, Chau Zhimen. Teach him on my behalf during my absences and help him reach the first rank. He's already qualified to become one, but just needed proper guidance." Jiang Ming said, smacking the head of Chau Zhimen continuously.
Alchemist Ren wanted to refuse to take any disciples since that would mean less time for studying and refining pills. However, it was Jiang Ming that had spoken, so he could only reluctantly accept the arrangement.
"I-I understand, Master." Alchemist Ren said and stared at Chau Zhimen. "Are you willing to become my disciple?"
THUMP!
Chau Zhimen quickly went to his knees as he paid respect to Alchemist Ren. "Disciple Chau Zhimen greets Master Ren."
Alchemist Ren nodded his head at his swift action.
"Good, now greet my Master. He's your grandmaster." Alchemist Ren said.
Chau Zhimen twitched his brow. From below, he could see Jiang Ming smiling wickedly while groping his sister's breast.
"D-D-Disciple Chau Zhimen greets grandmaster…" Chau Zhimen said with extreme difficulty. He could tell his sister was actually enjoying the comfort of Jiang Ming, so how could he still make a scene?
Jiang Ming was filled with laughter as he practically shot three birds with one stone. Not only did he achieve his goal of coming to the alchemist guild, but he also obtained another beauty, and gained a grand disciple.
No matter how well one can refine a pill, Jiang Ming does not wish to confine himself in a boring room every day to refine pills that the Automatic Refinement can not produce.
By having Alchemist Ren and Chau Zhimen as disciples, he could now order them to refine higher-level pills by imparting them some useful techniques.
And as for Chau Heung, let's be honest, who would ever refuse to have an additional beauty at home? Those who said no could only be two types of people, either they are gay or that they are incapable of conducting sexual acts.
"Anyway, Master, why did you come to the alchemist guild today?" Alchemist Ren asked. Normally, it would be him going to the Moon Bazaar to see Jiang Ming and not the other way around.
The fact that Jiang Ming personally made a visit meant that there was something important.
"Right, help me refine all of these pills by the end of the day." Jiang Ming said, retrieving another list of papers from his inventory.
"I also want all of them to be at least 90% purity."
Meanwhile, Chau Heung was nearly shocked to death when the list of papers was even bigger than the one she was assigned by Jiang Ming.
'Jiang Ming is truly built differently.' Chau Heung thought, clearly glad that she was not an enemy of Jiang Ming.
Alchemist Ren held the list of papers before showing an ashen face. He had just advanced to the fourth-rank alchemist, yet Jiang Ming was telling him to begin refining multiple fourth-rank pills.
Wasn't that equivalent to asking him to go to hell?
