The old woman, Jin Wenling, however, shook her head as she looked at Zhao Lan, and with a serious look she said

''Elder brother, I think that he needs more time to think and understand what's going on. Hehe, I also suggested that he should go and have a look at the House or Rankings and meet new people in that place.

With all the geniuses that are entering the city, I am sure that he will understand the difference between himself and the true prodigies of the continent, and won't object to become someone else's follower by then.''

Nodding his head Zhao Lan looked at Jin Wenling and smiled as he said

''Haha, you did well Wenling!

After all, it's normal for alchemists to be prideful, and reject to follow someone else. Once he understands the difference between himself and the real prodigies, he will have no choice but to agree in the end!''

Seeing how happy Zhao Lan was, one of the gold grade alchemists next to him couldn't help asking, in a voice that was filled with curiosity

''Elder brother Zhao, is that kid really so important, for you to be so happy? After all, don't we still have Han Nianzu and Cai Wenqian? Don't tell me that he is at the same level as the 2 of them!?''

Zhao Lan shook his head when he heard this question, and with a smile on his face, he looked at the old man next to him as he said

''Ah, Gao Changming, you don't understand... Although Nianzu and Wenqian can be considered prodigies among rank 3 silver grade alchemists, they still aren't on the same level as that brat yet.''

As he finished speaking, Zhao Lan took out a bottle of pills from his spatial ring and handed it to the old man named Gao Changming.

Gao Changming saw that there were 6 pills inside the pill bottle, and the moment that he uncorked the bottle's cap, a burst of medicinal fragrance assaulted his nose, as the old man exclaimed in satisfaction

''Top-grade rank 4 'Sun-healing pills'!''

Gao Changming nodded his head once he actually saw the pills, and turning his head at Zhao Lan he asked

''Elder brother Zhao, are these the pills that that kid has refined? Although I admit that it's impressive for a rank 3 silver grade alchemist to refine top-grade rank 4 pills, Nianzu can also do the same.''

Zhao Lan however shook his head as he looked at the old man in front of him, and taking a small dagger, the rank 3 gold grade alchemist personally shaved off a small part of the pill, before he handed it to Gao Changming.

Curious, Gao Changming took the dagger from Zhao Lan's hands, and with his fingers, he touched the pill powder on the dagger before he placed it on his tongue.

Zhao Lan smiled as he saw Gao Changming's expression changing, while everyone else around him aside from Jin Wenling was staring at him with wide eyes.

The middle-aged man, Kong Yan, couldn't hold his curiosity any longer once he saw the shocked expression on Gao Changming's face as he asked

''Senior Gao, what is it?''

Of course, neither Kong Yan nor anyone else in the room were worried for Gao Changming.

Since Zhao Lan had given him the pill, it was only natural that there was nothing wrong with it.

It took Gao Changming almost 10 breaths of time, until he recovered from his spaced out expression, while his eyes stared at the pill bottle in his hands with excitement.

Zhao Lan who was looking at him with a smile on his face, then asked

''Now do you understand? This brat's 'Sun-healing pills' are more than 50 percent more effective than any other top-grade rank 4 healing pill. Their quality is even on par with some middle-grade rank 5 healing pills!

Do you really think that I would be that interested in him for no reason? It's not just the pill recipe that is unique, it is the way that the essence of the medicinal herbs has blended along with the pills during the actual refinement process that is giving them such effects.''

Nobody dared to refute Zhao Lan's words since he was the most experienced alchemist inside the room.

Zhao Lan smiled lightly as he continued

''Which is why I said that Nianzu and Wenqian aren't on this brat's level yet.

With 3 talented young alchemists, our 'Alchemists' Guild' is sure to prosper. Additionally, if even one of them manages to become a follower, of a genius who enters the 'Holy sect'...''

At the same time that this discussion was taking place in the 'Alchemists' Guild's' garden, Shun Long and Liu Mei arrived back at their courtyard in the inn.

After paying the inn-keeper for 3 months in advance, Shun Long and Liu Mei entered their room while the black panther quickly fell asleep in the courtyard outside.

After all, although sleep wasn't necessary for cultivators or magic beasts, it could still help to alleviate stress, and rest one's mind.

Inside their room, Shun Long looked at Liu Mei who seemed to be just a step away from reaching the rank 9 in Heaven grade, and handed her a bottle filled with rank 4 'Spirit enhancing pills', before he said with a serious look on his face

''Mei'er, once you break through to the early rank 9 in Heaven grade, make sure to consume these pills for as long as your soul allows you to.

They will help you strengthen your spirit before breaking through to the Spirit realm, according to your current soul capacity.''

Shun Long had already explained the importance of spirit sense to Liu Mei, and after seeing that she had accepted the pills, he nodded his head as he entered the foggy place in the 'Stone of Time'.

Little Black observed Shun Long curiously, who spent the next 8 days refining the rank 4 'Golden Jade spirit trees', into more than 300 top-grade rank 4 'Spirit enhancing pills'.

Less than a day had passed for Liu Mei however, when Shun Long returned to the room.

Since it was already night, Liu Mei had already started to circulate the 'Moonlight Sigil', as the moonlight was being guided towards her body.

After leaving 4 more bottles filled with top-grade rank 4 'Spirit enhancing pills' next to her, Shun Long closed his eyes, as he once again imagined himself entering the foggy place in the 'Stone of Time'.

His body then disappeared from the room, as he once again appeared in the empty space surrounded by fog.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Shun Long held a pill bottle in his hand, before he consumed a top-grade rank 4 'Spirit enhancing pill'.
