Idea Baili

"For me, the most important thing is to improve my own strength. Alchemy is just an area of interest," Bai Li Hong Zhuang said, a gentle smile playing on her lips. She had always been clear about this point.

Her primary concern was advancing her cultivation because true strength came from having sufficient power. Only when her own strength was strong enough could she protect the people she cared about.

Her interests were always diverse, and she found many things fascinating. However, those were merely means to assist her cultivation.

Since becoming an alchemist, she no longer needed to rely on others to seek elixirs. Moreover, being identified as an alchemist brought her great convenience.

Therefore, she made sure to prioritize enhancing her own strength before dedicating herself to practicing alchemy.

All of this was built upon the premise of maintaining her cultivation.

She didn't want to be merely an alchemist. In Bai Li Hong Zhuang's life philosophy, she wanted to explore different places and venture far and wide. Once she became solely an alchemist, her ability to protect herself would be weak, and she would have to rely on recruiting cultivators for her safety. That would make traveling to various places inconvenient, which was not what she desired.

Interests.

Just one aspect.

When Situ Yan and the others heard Bai Li Hong Zhuang's words, they were left speechless for a while.

This alchemy prodigy, who had defeated the alchemists dedicated to researching alchemy in Medicine Sect and Tian Gang Sect, now claimed that alchemy was just one aspect she found interesting.

How were other alchemists supposed to live under such circumstances?

All those years of hard work went down the drain!

Fortunately, the disciples of the Alchemy Hall were not present; otherwise, they would have been driven to the brink of despair upon hearing Bai Li Hong Zhuang's words.

However, Mu Ling Bing and Lan Yunxiao's gazes changed slightly as they listened to Bai Li Hong Zhuang.

If Bai Li Hong Zhuang was only interested in alchemy, how could she have become a Grade Six alchemist at such a young age?

In their view, Bai Li Hong Zhuang must have chosen to focus on cultivation because she had unfinished vendettas to settle.

Being just an alchemist alone was clearly insufficient.

Thinking this, both Mu Ling Bing and Lan Yunxiao felt a tinge of guilt.

Originally, they should have provided Bai Li Hong Zhuang with a relaxed environment for her growth. However, they not only failed to provide anything, but they also burdened Bai Li Hong Zhuang with everything and even prevented her from pursuing the path she liked.

However, they didn't voice any of these thoughts.

Bai Li Hong Zhuang was so understanding, and they knew she wouldn't want them to feel distressed.

Their indebtedness to Bai Li Hong Zhuang could only be repaid in the future if an opportunity arose.

"Lord Xun hopes that you will join the Alchemy Hall," Situ Yan said with a faint smile.

He had noticed when Xun Yin went to find Qin Ai earlier, but given Xun Yin's character, it was within his expectations.

Xun Yin was definitely someone who appreciated talent, and if he encountered a talented alchemist, he would relentlessly pursue them.

Upon hearing this, Bai Li Hong Zhuang's smile grew even brighter. "Although I'm interested in alchemy, my main focus is on cultivation."

For her, simultaneously improving in both aspects was not a problem.

Her energy was already abundant, and with the existence of the Deserted World, her available time greatly increased. Therefore, she could easily manage both aspects without any issues.

Situ Yan looked deeply at Bai Li Hong Zhuang and nodded in agreement.
