"Little thief!"
Zhu Ziyang became anxious and could not help but stamp his feet, "Don't be so stubborn. This is a rare opportunity …" "Right, you're an alchemist. As long as you reveal your identity, you'll definitely be able to join the East Continent Academy."
Lin Cheng pondered for a moment, and just as he was about to say something, a sneer suddenly came from the side, "Heh! There were apothecaries all over the place now? "How laughable, for a mere little martial artist of the Body Refinement Realm to dare call himself an alchemist."
Zhu Zifu suddenly turned around and glared at Yi Qing, "Senior Sister Shu, don't use your talent to judge others. Just because you can't become an alchemist doesn't mean that others can't either."
"You …"
I'm just your senior sister, you can ignore me, but as your senior sister, I still have to give you a piece of advice. If Elder Shui wants to take you in as his disciple, you turned a deaf ear, but with such an arrogant and despotic personality, you must not take it! "
What she had said not only put herself in the senior sister's position to teach Zhuzi a lesson, but also to arouse the anger of the Seventh Elder, so that she could make him feel disgust towards her.
Yi Qing sneered in her mind. She had just realized that Patriarch Seven, Shui Ruo, was going to take Zhou-tou as his disciple, but Zhou-tou was only concerned with the Lin City's tests. He turned a deaf ear, but Shui Yi's face didn't look good, and there was a faint trace of anger on it.
She immediately knew that Shui Ang's temper wasn't very good, so she provoked him, hoping that he would take back what he had said and give up on taking her in as a disciple.
As a result, even if Zhu Ziyang's talent was extraordinary, she would still find it difficult to obtain the guidance of a cultivator. When the time came, even if she only had extraordinary talent, it would still be very difficult for her to achieve much.
Zhu Ziquan saw through her evil scheme at a glance, and said coldly: "Senior Sister Shuiyue, I am grateful that Elder Shui has taken me seriously, but now you are provoking me. Are you dissatisfied with Elder Shui, or are you jealous of my spiritual energy affinity?"
With a loud clang, Shiqing's face suddenly turned red, as if her tail had been stepped on, and she almost jumped up. "You're talking nonsense! How could I possibly be dissatisfied with Elder Water!? As an elder of the academy, Elder Shui is highly respected.
This Zhu Zifu was too despicable!
She actually dared to ask if she was dissatisfied with Elder Shui. This caused Yi Qing to be both surprised and angry.
One had to know that she wasn't a genius with deep blue affinity for spiritual energy. If Elder Shui had any opinions about her, then it would be very difficult for her to stand up in the academy anymore.
"Then you're jealous of my Spiritual Qi affinity?" Zhu Ziquan immediately asked.
"No!"
Shi Yi Qing immediately denied it, but saw that some of the onlookers were deep in thought, so her face immediately flushed red and said loudly: "Zhu Ziquan, don't you slander me! "I just …"
Zhu Zifu sneered, "You don't need to tell me what you think in your heart."
"…" She almost choked on her words. She turned to look at Shui Yang, only to find that the latter's face was a little gloomy. She was about to say something, but Shui Yi suddenly opened his mouth.
The water anise said, "Alright, let's end this matter here! Zhu Ziyang, I shall ask you again, are you willing to take me as your master? "
"Junior is willing!"
Zhu Ziyang immediately bowed, "However, this junior's friend Lin Cheng is indeed an alchemist, and one with great attainments. Elder Shui, please give him another chance."
Shui Ani's face sank. "Ridiculous! Do you know what pill refining is, you puny kid, you puny little martial artist? "Alright, there's no need for you to say anything else. Come with me immediately. Otherwise, don't bring up the matter of you taking me as your disciple ever again!"
"Elder Shui, junior …" Zhu Ziyang's heart was filled with anxiety. He still wanted to fight for Lin City, but was cut off by a wave of a hand from Shuiyan.
"Didn't you hear what I said?" The anise spoke in a low voice.
"Elder Shui, if I can prove that I'm an alchemist, would you allow me to join the East State Academy?" Lin Cheng clasped his fist and asked.
As long as Shui Ani agreed, he could refine pills at any time. Although the things he used to refine pills were all in his storage bag and might attract people's coveting if he took out his storage bag in front of everyone, this was the East Continent Academy, so no one would dare to snatch them from him openly.
However, Shui Ruo didn't even look at him, and said in a deep voice, "Zhu Ziyang, come back with me now, or else you won't be joining the East State Academy. You may be a genius, but we will never welcome people who don't respect their teachers!"
Zhu Zi became anxious and wanted to say something, but Lin Cheng pulled her hand and whispered, "Girl, you can stay here and cultivate first. Being able to get guidance from a cultivator is a rare opportunity. Don't lose out on something small."
"No way!"
Zhu Ziyang's eyes stared at Lin Cheng as he said resolutely, "If you are unable to join the East Continent Academy, I will definitely not join either!"
"Don't worry, I'll definitely find a chance to prove that I'm an alchemist and join the East Continent Academy." Lin Cheng said in a low voice.
"Little thief!"
Zhuzi pursed her lips and said, "I …"
Lin Chen did not wait for her to finish and interrupted her, "Have you forgotten the purpose of your training?"
Zhui Ziquan was suddenly at a loss for words.
Seeing this, Lin Cheng could not help but secretly sigh in relief. He knew that Zhu Ziyang was in a hurry to increase his strength. Although Zhu Zifu had never told him the reason, he could tell that there was something very important hidden in her heart.
Seeing that she was unable to convince Bamboo Shoot, he immediately brought up the matter. Sure enough, this made Bamboo Shoot hesitate.
Lin Cheng immediately took the opportunity to strike the iron, and continued, "Girl, don't tell me that you are still worried about my cultivation speed? Even if I don't join the East Region Academy, I can still quickly increase my strength. At that time, you'll probably be left far behind by me! "
If it was a normal day, when Bamboo Hill heard Lin City boasting like this, she would definitely mock him. But now, her heart was in pain and she couldn't say a single word.
"I promise you, if nothing goes wrong, I will be cultivating near the East Region Academy for a very long period of time. That way, even if we're not in the same academy, we can still meet frequently." Lin Cheng said again.
"Really?!"
Zhu Zi's eyes lit up as she hurriedly asked.
Lin Cheng nodded, "Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"
Just as he finished speaking, he felt a little awkward. Zhu Ziyang even rolled his eyes at him, 'Has this fellow ever lied to me before?' The poison from before had fooled her quite badly.
Shui Ani saw the two of them whispering to each other, and his face darkened. Especially when he saw Lin Cheng tugging at Zhu Zi's hand, a cold light flashed across his eyes.
In the end, Bamboo Forcing agreed to Lin Cheng's request. She bowed to Shui Ani and said, "Disciple Bamboo Forcing greets Master."
"The apprenticeship ceremony can only be held after you join the academy. Come with me now!" Shui Ani said, glancing over Lin City's body. "You are not allowed to stay in the academy for any idle people. Leave as soon as possible!"
She stretched out her hand and grabbed ahold of Bamboo Shoot's wrist before she could say anything else. Then, she jumped into the air and quickly flew off into the distance. After a few breaths of time, there were only two small black dots in front of them.
The surrounding crowd could not help but gasp in amazement. Flying through the air, this was a technique that only cultivators could cultivate. Even an expert at the peak of the Arterial Circulation Realm would not be able to match up to this speed.
Lin Cheng was secretly surprised as he thought to himself, "As expected of a cultivator. This speed is truly astonishing."
Shui Ani could still fly in the sky even though he was carrying a bamboo stick. This kind of strength was way, far surpassing that of a martial artist.
Lin Cheng secretly clenched his fists. One day, I will also step into the cultivation world and become a cultivator!
As for joining the East Region Academy, he didn't need to think about it anymore.
He knew that it was impossible for him to join the East Region Academy. Shui Ani's attitude would undoubtedly let the teachers and students know that she didn't like him.
In this sort of situation, there was no one in the entire Eastern Region Academy who would give him a chance to prove that he was an alchemist.
Besides, Shui Ani's attitude had made Lin Cheng's heart turn cold.
If it weren't for the fact that there was a genius like Zhu Ziquan, the fennel wouldn't even have looked at him directly. Furthermore, the look the fennel gave him before it left made Lin Cheng's back turn cold. He realized that the fennel hated him to the extreme.
Even so, Lin City still decided to practice in the vicinity of the East Continent Academy. He had to see Zhu Zifu settle down before he could feel at ease.
"If I were you, I would immediately leave the academy. The further I go, the better." Suddenly, a gentle voice that was deliberately suppressed sounded in Lin City's ears.
He immediately turned around and saw a beautiful figure walking past him.
Le Xuan recited it!
Lin Cheng was slightly startled. What did Le Xuan mean by those words? Could it be that someone wanted to harm him?
Lin City immediately thought of Qing He and Jing Feiyang. Other than Jing Feiyang's group of four, he didn't know anyone else in the Eastern Region Academy, not to mention becoming enemies with someone else.
It was clear that Jing Feiyang had some love for Zhu Qiuquan, while Qing Yi viewed Zhu Qiuquan as an enemy and thought of him as someone they could take action against.
As for the others, Lin Chen did not expect this to happen.
Before Lin Cheng could ask for more details, Le Xuan had already left. He had no choice but to give up. His gaze swept over Jing Feiyang, Yi Qing, and the rest, and he discovered that they were still looking in the direction that Shui Ani and Zhu Ziquan had left in.
Even though Jing Feiyang's cultivation was higher than his, Lin Cheng was not afraid if they were to fight. Even if he could not defeat Jing Feiyang, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to escape.
However, if he added on a 'Jian Qing', Lin Cheng would definitely not be a match for him. At that time, if he was blocked by two people, he wouldn't even have the chance to escape.
Lin Cheng's mind raced as he thought of leaving the East Continent Academy. Suddenly, he had an idea. He turned around and headed in the direction that Le Xuan Nian had left in.
