Mysterious Alchemist

Fang Xuan thought about it and decided to show Lan Yu the potion in his hand first. After all, one had to be wary of others.

If it was an ordinary person, it would be fine. However, this alchemist could appear behind him silently. Either he had cultivated a very powerful Light-body Technique or his strength was much higher than his. Why would such a person casually help him? Just because he had used an opportunistic method to defeat Shen Yuechao?

No matter how he thought about it, he found it strange. He had never met any powerful alchemists, so it was impossible for such a person to exist in the village.

With this thought in mind, he pushed the door open and walked into the dormitory. The moment he entered, Lan Yu gave him a bear hug. Then, the latter hurriedly looked left and right.

"Heavens, they said that you defeated Shen Yuechao and even slapped him. Are they really not teasing me?"

After saying that, he pinched his face and only retracted his hand when he grimaced in pain.

"Luck, it's just luck. Show me what this potion is for." After saying that, Fang Xuan took out the potion that the mysterious apothecary had given him and threw it to Lan Yu.

The latter took the potion but did not take the next step. Instead, he silently made a cross.

"Heavens, looks like the position of Cloud Academy's top student in the future is going to be decided. Other than my Brother Fang, who else dares to take on this title? He can defeat all the other academies alone."

"Brother Fang, when you enter the inner courtyard, remember to share the ingredients for refining medicine. I heard that you can choose for yourself. When the time comes, remember to remind me in front of the big shots of the inner courtyard."

Fang Xuan rolled his eyes at him.

"Stop talking nonsense. Let's get down to business first. Hurry up and show me this potion."

Only then did Lan Yu put the potion in front of his eyes and look around. After about ten minutes, he made up his mind.

"From what I've seen, this should be a water-resistant potion. Its quality is above average, and its grade should be around the second to third grade."

Fang Xuan narrowed his eyes. It seemed like that guy wasn't lying to him. This thing was indeed a water-resistant medicine.

However, why was he helping him? Could it be that he wanted to test the poison on him? He wanted to see if the potion he refined would succeed?

He shook his head and decided not to think about this. It was better to accept the mission first. After all, time was money. He had really slapped Shen Yuechao's face this time. He did not know how this vengeful guy would take revenge on him.

After giving Lan Yu a few simple instructions, Fang Xuan went straight to the guild. Along the way, he thought about the alchemist's words.

Just as he said, there were naturally more water-type Beast Tamers in the water-type domain. Most mages had water-type attributes, so they often encountered mages in the water-type domain.

Thinking of this, Fang Xuan thought of Ning Lanqing, this little girl who gave him a headache. He couldn't help but rub his head in pain.

He hoped that he would not meet her again.

In other fields, such as the wind domain, there were swordsmen or knights. Each attribute was assigned to a Beast Tamer with different attributes, and most of these Beast Tamers' choices for their second profession were surprisingly uniform.

As for alchemists, they were rather special. Due to the special attributes of this profession, one could basically see related figures in every attribute's domain. However, the combat ability of alchemists was slightly weaker.

Beast Tamers with different attributes would often have to be supported by equipment or potions if they went to domains with different attributes. Otherwise, it was very easy for accidents to happen. Of course, "weak chickens" like Fang Xuan were an exception.

Just like that, Fang Xuan headed straight for the teleportation array after accepting the mission. After experiencing so many missions, he could be said to be completely familiar with it. With a flash of light, he arrived at another world.

This was an island. The entire island was in a state of disintegration. Blue waves could be seen between the ravines.

Fang Xuan didn't have the mood to think about where he was on the continent because as soon as he walked out of the teleportation array, he saw a figure in a short colorful dress in front of him.

The back of the figure looked extremely beautiful, and a head of soft, wavy hair hung down naturally.

At this moment, the girl in front seemed to sense the gaze from behind, so their gazes met in the air, immediately causing the air to become a little anxious.

"Long time no see, Student Fang Xuan. It's your turn to follow me this time? Your tracking skills aren't that good."

Fang Xuan snorted coldly. "I wouldn't do such a despicable thing. I was just coincidentally assigned here to do a mission."

The girl in front of him was none other than Ning Lanqing, who had traveled with him on Thunder Island last time.

The latter took a few steps forward, and Fang Xuan hurriedly retreated, afraid that Ning Lanqing's arms would grab him again.

Seeing Fang Xuan's reaction, Ning Lanqing couldn't help but sneer.

"Alright, Ning Lanqing, if there's nothing else, I'm going on a mission. I hope you won't follow behind me. The two of us can go our separate ways. Don't disgust each other."

After saying that, Fang Xuan brushed past her. He didn't notice the hint of sadness in the former's eyes.

The beautiful figure once again appeared in front of him. Fang Xuan's brows furrowed deeply as the Fire Lightning Spike on his left fist slowly gathered strength.

"Fang Xuan, don't you want to know what I'm here for?"

"I missed the part where that's my problem?"

"In a while, a Myth Realm demon beast will appear here. Father specially sent a pigeon to me and told me that the Purple Qilin Armor on the demon beast is a divine artifact that's hard to come by in a hundred years. That's why Father sent me a letter."

Hearing this, Fang Xuan's heart was in turmoil. He seemed to know what Ning Lanqing was going to say next.

"Don't tell me you want me to help you hunt mythical beasts?"

The latter nodded expectantly.

Fang Xuan ignored Ning Lanqing and continued walking forward.

Had this little girl's brain been electrocuted by the strange lightning? Not only did she cheat him of a Horn of the Sea last time, but she also wanted him to continue being a fool. What was she thinking?

Before he could take a few steps, the pair of pincer-like arms wrapped around Fang Xuan again.

The latter glared angrily at Ning Lanqing.

"Hehe, don't be anxious. Could it be that you want everyone in Cloud City to know that a young genius with extraordinary abilities has appeared in our nameless village?"

Fang Xuan knew that this was another almost obvious threat.

"Moreover, the Purple Qilin Armor isn't the only thing on the demon beast's body. There are also many materials and equipment. Perhaps there's even a Spirit Core. This demon beast is currently shedding its skin. It's the weakest it has been in a hundred years. That's why it appeared in the low-level area."

"Aiyo, Brother Fang Xuan, help me."

After saying this, Ning Lanqing winked playfully. She no longer looked like the daughter of the General Manor.

Fang Xuan sighed. He had really been defeated by this little girl.

"Okay, let me help."

Ning Lanqing's eyes immediately lit up.

"However, there's a condition." Before she could thank him, Fang Xuan had already made his request.
