After five years of travel, Qi Liansheng returned to the Alchemy Palace ahead of Fang Lin. Both his martial arts cultivation and his alchemy level had made great progress in these five years.
However, compared with his still slightly green appearance five years ago, Qi Liansheng, who has returned from his travels, has become particularly calm, giving people a sense of style.
When Qi Liansheng returned to the Alchemy Palace, he immediately took the alchemist assessment and successfully became the Seven Cauldron Alchemist. He was extremely dazzling for a while.
You must know that Qi Liansheng is only in his early thirties at this moment, and he is already at the level of the Seven Cauldron Alchemist. This is almost the fastest promotion record in the history of Alchemy Palace.
Many elders in the Alchemy Palace believe that Qi Liansheng can probably enter the ranks of Jiuding alchemists within a hundred years and become one of the top alchemists of this era.
When Fang Lin returned, he also took the alchemist assessment like Qi Liansheng, and was promoted to Qidian alchemist equally smoothly.
Moreover, Fang Lin was several years younger than Qi Liansheng at this time, and was known as the most talented and fastest-promoting disciple in the history of Dan Sheng Palace.
Some people originally thought that after this trip, the gap between Fang Lin and Qi Liansheng might widen, but it was not easy to judge who was stronger.
But now the two of them have returned almost in tandem, and both have become Seven Cauldron Alchemists. It is obvious that after these five years of travel, the two of them have made great progress, and there has not been any gap between them. They are still equally matched.
But no one knows how much these two people have grown during their travels, and whether there are still hidden strengths that have not been revealed.
At least many discerning people in the Alchemy Palace can see that Fang Lin and Qi Liansheng both appeared to be able to handle the Seven Cauldrons Alchemy Master test with ease. Maybe they really have hidden strength.
Of course, whether the two of them are hiding their clumsiness or not, it is a good thing for the Alchemy Palace. After all, they are both disciples of the Alchemy Palace. The better they are, the more brilliant the Alchemy Palace will be in the future.
Sinking into the abyss, Qi Liansheng came here again and saw Fang Lin, who was still imprisoned in the magic circle prison.
"Master, this disciple is back." Qi Liansheng said respectfully.
Fang Lin opened his eyes and looked at Qi Liansheng. The latter had respect on his face, very pure and without any pretense. He obviously respected Fang Lin from the bottom of his heart.
"Yes, he is already an alchemist of the Seven Cauldrons." Fang Lin said, his voice passing through the prison of the magic circle.
Qi Liansheng was surprised. This was the first time he heard Fang Lin's voice. He had always said it to himself before. Fang Lin wrote down what he wanted to express on paper in the magic circle prison.
"Master? Why can I hear your voice?" Qi Liansheng asked in surprise.
Fang Lin smiled and said: "The palace master came to see me once and allowed me to talk to you."
Hearing this, Qi Liansheng also looked happy, and at the same time he was secretly surprised that his master's voice also sounded very young.
"Master, I have experienced a lot of things outside in the past five years. I will tell you slowly."
At the moment, Qi Liansheng told Fang Lin many things he had experienced during his five years away from home, but Fang Lin didn't say much and listened silently to Qi Liansheng's words.
Unknowingly, Qi Liansheng had been here for several days.
"The disciple was trapped in Nawangui City for several months. He finally broke through in cultivation and finally managed to escape. Otherwise, he would have been trapped in Nawangui City." Qi Liansheng said with a lingering fear on his face.
Fang Lin nodded and said: "Now you are already a Seven Cauldron Alchemist, but your cultivation level is still a bit low. You should reach the realm of immortality as soon as possible."
Qi Liansheng hummed: "This disciple also has this intention, but his martial arts qualifications are somewhat insufficient. He can only rely on pills to make up for his current level of cultivation. If he wants to break through to immortality, it may not be easy."
Fang Lin smiled and said: "It is not a shame to replenish the elixir, as long as it can improve one's own cultivation. After all, alchemists like us naturally have to focus on alchemy."
"Master is absolutely right." Qi Liansheng stood up from the ground.
"By the way, have you ever thought about competing with that Fang Lin?" Fang Lin suddenly asked.
When Qi Liansheng heard this, his expression was startled, and then he shook his head bitterly.
"Why? Don't you want to differentiate yourself from him?" Fang Lin said with a frown.
Qi Liansheng sighed: "Disciple knows that he is trying his best. Although he is called a double hero by everyone in Dan Sheng Palace, I know that he is still inferior to that Fang Lin."
"Do you still think you are weaker than Fang Lin?" Fang Lin looked a little unhappy, feeling that Qi Liansheng was not confident enough.
Qi Liansheng shook his head: "It's not that the disciple is not confident, but that he is self-aware, and he knows the real gap between Fang Lin and the disciple."
"Oh? How do you think you are worse than him? If it's alchemy talent, there is indeed a gap, but it's not the most important thing." Fang Lin said.
Qi Liansheng smiled helplessly: "What makes this disciple worse than Fang Lin is fate."
"Why did you say that?" Fang Lin was even more confused.
Qi Liansheng said: "Ever since I met Junior Brother Fang Lin, I have always had the feeling that I might become a stepping stone for Junior Brother Fang Lin in the future."
Hearing these words, Fang Lin fell silent for a moment, not knowing what to say at all. After all, Fang Lin was very clear about what was going to happen next. In a sense, Qi Liansheng had indeed become his own in the previous life. stepping stone.
But now that Fang Lin knew that Qi Liansheng was taught by himself, this feeling was very strange and made Fang Lin a little intolerable.
"Maybe this is just the disciple's random thoughts, but no matter what, Junior Brother Fang Lin has a very good relationship with me. I will help him whatever he wants to do in the future. Even if it is to be his stepping stone, it doesn't matter. I will watch him stand in a higher position. The disciples will also feel satisfied." Qi Liansheng said, his expression calm and extremely sincere.
"Go back." Fang Lin waved his hand and said, his mood waning.
Qi Liansheng bowed and saluted, and then left the abyss of sinking.
But after Qi Liansheng left, Fang Lin felt very uneasy in his heart, and there was a lingering feeling of guilt.
This guilt was naturally due to Qi Liansheng. He was the disciple he taught, but he lost to his previous self in the most critical competition.
This relationship is extremely subtle, as if he single-handedly created Qi Liansheng's glory, but then cruelly destroyed him.
"Who would have thought that I would be Qi Liansheng's master? What a coincidence." Fang Lin shook his head helplessly.
Day after day, year after year.
There is a strange place in the southwest called the White Dragon Tomb, where the bones of several true dragons that died here are buried.
Very few people can enter the White Dragon Tomb. Even the Immortal Powerhouse is inexplicably taboo about this place.
But on this day, a strong figure stood on top of the white real dragon skeleton head and let out a shocking roar.
