"Master Lin, whether you will accept this challenge or not, please give me a clear answer!"
The middle-aged man said with a smile on his face: "If you don't accept it, then take five middle-grade elixir, and we won't give you a cent of the money."
In Shenyuan Continent, elixir has always been priced but not marketed, unless it is from a family of refining medicine, the other aristocratic families only buy but not sell.
The two members of the Wang family collected a large amount of middle-grade elixir through forced buying and competition within a year, and even got a few top-grade elixir. Naturally, they didn't want to return empty-handed when they arrived at the Lin family.
Lin Zainan clenched his fists, but sighed helplessly in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a clear and clear girl's voice coming in from outside the door.
"I accept this challenge." Yun Ruoyan walked in lightly, wearing an emerald green thin shirt, with bamboo leaf tulle on her face, and her hands behind her back.
When the eyes of the middle-aged man and the boy in gray fell on Yun Ruoyan, they were slightly taken aback.
Yun Ruoyan stood gracefully in the center of the hall, and said to the two of them again: "This challenge of yours, I will take it on behalf of the Lin family."
"Where did the yellow-haired girl come from, don't make trouble here!" the middle-aged man scolded.
The gray-clothed boy looked at Yun Ruoyan and said with a smile, "The little sister is some lady from the Lin family, right? I'm challenging Master Lin, so don't mess around."
"Ruoyan, when did you come?" Lin Zainan looked at Yun Ruoyan and asked.
Yun Ruoyan turned around and walked to Lin Zainan's side in two steps, and said with a smile: "I just arrived and heard an arrogant guy challenging Grandpa. Grandfather, if your position in the alchemy world is equal to that of this junior Wouldn't the challenge be self-defeating?"
Yun Ruoyan turned her head, and glanced at the gray-clothed boy with her big beautiful eyes, "So Ruoyan accepted this challenge for you."
As Yun Ruoyan spoke, she gently took Lin Zainan's arm. That relaxed and comfortable attitude made Lin Zainan feel dazed for a moment.
Immediately, he guessed that Yun Ruoyan must have made a breakthrough in her cultivation, but even if she made a breakthrough, she couldn't accept the challenge of a fifth-level pharmacist.
"Grandfather." Yun Ruoyan pinched Lin Zainan's arm lightly, looked at him with big bright eyes and said, "Let Ruoyan do her best for you and the Lin family this time!"
Lin Zainan felt extremely relieved, put aside his worries, and said with a smile: "Okay, you are my closed disciple of Lin Zainan, it is reasonable for you to accept the challenge on my behalf."
Then he looked at the boy in gray and said, "Boy of the Wang family, I am a generation older than your father, and you are not qualified to compete with me on the same stage. But my little granddaughter has already obtained my true biography, so she I have come to accept your challenge, I wonder if you dare to take up the challenge!"
"A joke." The middle-aged man snorted coldly, and said contemptuously: "It seems that there is really no one in the Lin family, so if you use a bratty yellow-haired girl as a shield, you won't be afraid of others laughing..."
Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, Yun Ruoyan suddenly stretched out his right hand to him, and then a red mist overflowed from her palm, and the mist instantly turned into an orange flame, which was directed towards the middle-aged man's face. Licked it.
With a bang, the flames dissipated, and the middle-aged man's face was scorched black and he was stunned.
"Uncle, I suggest you be more careful in what you say in the future." Yun Ruoyan smiled lightly: "Otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"
Just when Yun Ruoyan let out the tongue of fire, Lin Zainan's eyes lit up suddenly, and he hastily suppressed the great surprise in his heart. But he still couldn't help laughing loudly, "You've taught me a good lesson, as expected of my Lin Zainan's disciple, you have a good temper!"
The gray-clothed boy's eyes also brightened, and the previous contempt for Yun Ruoyan was swept away, and he hurriedly said: "Just now, I was blind, and the lady is a hidden master, so I naturally accept this challenge."
"Okay." Yun Ruoyan responded, and said again: "But the time for this competition is up to me."
"Okay, that's natural." The boy in gray didn't hesitate, "When does Miss want to compete?"
Yun Ruoyan made a gesture and thought for a while, stretched out two fingers and shook, and said, "How about today two years from now?"
"It's better to wait two years than now." The middle-aged man wiped the scorched face and said angrily, "You, a little girl who knows nothing about the world, must be taught a lesson now!"
The middle-aged man was attacked by Yun Ruoyan, holding back the evil fire in his stomach, and rolled up his sleeves as if to hit someone.
"Wang Gang." The boy in gray said, "Don't be presumptuous."
The middle-aged man turned his head and glanced at the young man, but the young man was not angry, but looked at him with a pair of long and narrow eyes.
"Yes, young master." Wang Gang finally lowered his head, and retreated to the side like a defeated rooster.
The young man looked at Yun Ruoyan again, and said with a smile, "Isn't two years a bit too long?"
Yun Ruoyan sighed slightly, and said helplessly, "I'm only thirteen years old this year, and I'm only considered an adult when I'm fifteen. You don't think you want to compete with a minor on the same stage, Mr. Wang, do you?"
Yun Ruoyan choked the young man with a single word. She saw the arrogance of this gray-clothed boy. Naturally, an arrogant person is the most face-saving. If he competes with a minor, even if he wins, he will win. What face is there
"In this case, two years is two years." Sure enough, the boy in gray responded.
After the boy finished speaking, he took two steps forward and came to Yun Ruoyan, and introduced himself, "My name is Wang Meng, and I am the eldest son of the Wang family of the Four Kingdoms Chamber of Commerce in Yue Kingdom. I dare to ask Miss's name."
"You are Wang Meng?!" Yun Ruoyan asked suddenly.
"Yes, I am." Wang Meng looked at Yun Ruoyan with some doubts, "Did Miss know me before?"
The elder brother of Wang Kuang who was killed by her in the secret realm, and the person who hurt Lin Zainan in the competition in the previous life, turned out to be the boy in gray in front of him.
Yun Ruoyan's eyes turned cold in an instant, and the coldness was only for a moment, and a smile soon appeared on Yun Ruoyan's face.
"Wang Meng is a well-known genius in refining medicine in the Yue Kingdom. Naturally, I have admired his name for a long time. I am very much looking forward to competing with you in two years' time."
"I'm looking forward to it too." Wang Meng raised his hand towards Yun Ruoyan as he spoke.
"My name is Yun Ruoyan, and I'm Lin Zainan's closed apprentice." Yun Ruoyan raised her hand and struck Wang Meng's palm as she spoke.
With a bang, an astonishing killing intent flashed in Yun Ruoyan's eyes.
Wang Meng and Wang Gang finally left, Lin Zainan looked at Yun Ruoyan excitedly, with two big hands on Yun Ruoyan's shoulders, his white beard trembling non-stop.
"Ruoyan, you broke through again so quickly, and you broke through more than one level."
Lin Zainan told Yun Ruoyan that spiritual fire can be divided into seven levels, and the spiritual fire in the seventh level can be divided into seven different colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple.
The newly condensed spiritual fire is red. As the cultivation level deepens and the fire element spiritual power in the spiritual sea becomes more and more pure, the color of the spiritual fire will change, gradually changing from red to orange.
In the same way, orange will slowly turn into yellow as you practice, and so on until you reach the highest purple state.
The red flames on the first floor cannot refine medicine, and the orange ones can refine low-level elixir.
The blue spiritual fire can be used to refine high-grade elixir, and the purple spiritual fire is said to be able to refine the legendary holy elixir.
When Lin Zainan was at his peak, he could only condense green spiritual fire, which could be used to refine middle-grade elixir.
"Unexpectedly, my good grandson has such a strong talent for refining medicine. Not only did he condense a spiritual fire in a short period of time, he even condensed an orange spiritual fire."
Lin Zainan was worried about Yun Ruoyan's challenge at the beginning, but now he is finally relieved, "Ruoyan, grandpa believes that if you can't surpass that Wang family boy in two years, at least you won't be worse than him. "
"Grandfather." Yun Ruoyan said firmly, "I will definitely defeat him."
Lin Zainan gave Yun Ruoyan another secret book of elixir recipes, asking her to memorize the contents when she went back, and asked her to come to Lin's house the next day. He would teach her to practice the simplest elixir refining.
After Lin Qingchen and Lin Qingxue learned that Yun Ruoyan had condensed the spiritual fire, they hugged each other happily, screaming and jumping, and then began to regret that they were not there to witness such an exciting moment.
Lin Qingchen took Yun Ruoyan to her small bamboo garden, saying that she had something to show her, but Lin Qingxue, who always liked to join in the fun, hurriedly said that she wanted to do the homework assigned by Lin Zainan today, and then ran away in a hurry.
Lin Qingxue was a bold girl, but when she mentioned Lin Qingchen's small bamboo garden, she immediately turned into a coward, because there were many things in Lin Qingchen's small bamboo garden that made her scalp tingle.
For example, a toad the size of a washbasin, a scorpion with a foot-long tail, a centipede with a pair of big eyes, and a laughing catfish.
Any one of them made Lin Qingxue tremble with fear and had nightmares again and again.
However, her only sister prefers to get along with these things day and night, which makes her wish to go to the door impossible to achieve.
"Sister Ruoyan, look!" Lin Qingchen uncovered a piece of black cloth, revealing a transparent crystal cover underneath.
Yun Ruoyan looked in the direction of her finger, and through the crystal cover, she saw a small white magic snake about three inches long lying on the black sand.
"Is this made from the snake eggs you brought out from the secret realm?" Yun Ruoyan stared at the little snake and asked.
"Yes!" Lin Qingchen replied, "This little devil snake hatched from a total of five snake eggs."
The snake was white all over, lying there motionless like a small ice sculpture.
Yun Ruoyan has seen green snakes and black snakes before, but this is the first time she has seen such a white snake, and she thinks it is quite cute.
"Has grandpa seen it?" Yun Ruoyan asked.
"Of course." Lin Qingchen also leaned closer to the crystal cover, dragging his chin to look inside, "Without the help of grandfather, none of the five snake eggs would be able to cover it."
"Does it have any special abilities, such as breathing fire or something?" Yun Ruoyan stretched out her finger and tapped on the crystal cover, the little snake seemed to sense her, opened its eyes suddenly, and turned its head around.
"Oh!" Yun Ruoyan and the little snake looked at each other, and immediately shook Lin Qingchen's arm and exclaimed in surprise: "Look, Qingchen, look, it still has double eyelids!"
