Martial Peak

When Xiao Fu Sheng conducted Xia Ning Chang’s test, he also had Yang Kai and Dong Qing Yan sit and listen.

Old Xiao obviously wanted his own disciple to broaden her knowledge of Alchemy from this experience. As for Yang Kai, he was probably only invited as a courtesy.

This test lasted for an entire day, Old Xiao asking a variety of questions about the Alchemic Way, from shallow to deep, step by step, slowly but surely increasing in difficulty.

Xia Ning Chang answered each question seriously and meticulously on the opposite side.

Half a day later, Old Xiao wore a pleasantly surprised expression, and after a full day, his face had become filled with shock, while the way he looked upon Xia Ning Chang had also changed.

It was like he had suddenly found a rare and priceless treasure, his eyes leaking a green light containing a mix of greed and envy.

Meng Wu Ya on the side laughed proudly.

Dong Qing Yan also had an expression full of worship and admiration as she watched Xia Ning Chang, only Yang Kai remaining nonchalant.

A day later, Old Xiao exhaled a long breath.

“So, how about it?” Meng Wu Ya glanced at Xiao Fu Sheng, grinning arrogantly.

Xiao Fu Sheng looked dignified, pondered for a long time in silence before finally summarizing, “Both her basic skills and theoretical knowledge are as solid as Mount Tai, and she has clearly gained many insights that even this old man has not.”

Over the course of evaluating Xia Ning Chang, Old Xiao has also benefited from her various answers. This had not been so much a test as it had been a discussion between two peers, the difference being that Xiao Fu Sheng was asking the questions while Xia Ning Chang only answered.

“That’s only natural!” Meng Wu Ya said flatly.

However, the pride he had in this apprentice of his was very apparent, his grin almost extending from ear to ear.

Xiao Fu Sheng chuckled before glancing at him with great meaning. “Theory is one thing, but sometimes knowing theory is not as good as moving one’s own hands.”

Meng Wu Ya was suddenly like a cat that had its tail trampled on, “Old Man Xiao, if my disciple cannot let you be convinced, this old man will change is surname to yours and call you Father!”

At this point Dong Qing Yan couldn’t help herself, doubling over in laughter, her hand clutching her stomach as her shoulders trembled non-stop.

Xiao Fu Sheng could only let out a sigh and wryly smile, turning his attention to Xia Ning Chang and asking, “So far, what is the highest grade of pill you have successfully refined?”

“Mysterious Grade Low-Rank…” Xia Ning Chang replied softly.

Hearing this, Xiao Fu Sheng’s entire body tensed up, his old face immediately changing colour, quickly staring at the young woman before him, trying to see if there was any sign of her joking with him. But the pair of star-like shimmering eyes didn’t contain the slightest trace of impurity, remaining very bright; where was there any trace of her lying?

Mysterious Grade Low-Rank …

Could it really be that at such a young age she was already a Mysterious Grade Low-Rank Alchemist?

Medicine King’s Valley’s top disciple Qin Ze this year was thirty-five years old, yet he was only a Heaven Grade Top-Rank Alchemist! In terms of age, Qin Ze was almost twice as old.
