Chapter 930: Chapter 928: The Future Alchemy Master
Wang Zhan gave a grudging smile before quickly saying, "Don’t worry, I already know your demands now, so you don’t need to worry about anything."
"Once I refine the Demon Core, I will immediately prepare the elixir you need."
"By then, I will definitely make you satisfied."
As he spoke, Wang Zhan prepared to leave.
After all, he didn’t want to continue staying here with Feng Tianci; no one knew if Feng Tianci would suddenly change his mind.
However, Feng Tianci frowned slightly and said, "You brat, wait a minute!"
Hearing this, Wang Zhan quickly stopped in his tracks.
He just felt a chill creeping up his back.
After all, all these years, it was the first time he had met someone more domineering than himself...
Feng Tianci walked up to him and then openly asked, "Even though you have given me your word, it’s still just words without proof. What if you don’t prepare the elixir for me by then?"
Wang Zhan’s eyes shifted and he quickly walked to Feng Tianci’s side, glanced at Zuo Linglong, and then pointed at Zuo Linglong and said, "Isn’t that simple?"
"Actually, refining that elixir isn’t too difficult, but the hardest part is it takes a lot of time. But neither of us has that time to waste. Isn’t there a free laborer by our side? Why don’t we ask for his help?"
Hearing this, a mischievous smile appeared on Feng Tianci’s lips, he pointed at Wang Zhan, shook his head, and said, "You brat, you’re really something! Planning to trick a little girl?"
Wang Zhan shook his head, "She not only has talent in cultivation but also great achievements in Alchemy. If she is properly nurtured, she will definitely become an Alchemy Master in the future, so I am also giving him a good opportunity!"
"I bet you’re aware of the benefits of an Alchemy Master. Even though our powers are overwhelmingly strong, even you would be drawn by an Alchemy Master. For the elixirs in their hands, you’d even do anything for them, right?"
Feng Tianci nodded.
Indeed, what Wang Zhan said made a lot of sense, and of course, it’s not just him.
Many experts are like this.
They’d do anything for an elixir they need.
Wang Zhan then continued, "Don’t worry, I’ll also teach her some ways to refine other elixirs, so she can quickly become an Alchemy Master."
"By then, keep her by your side, and no matter what concerns you have, just tell her, and she’ll be able to quickly come up with something for you. Isn’t that convenient?"
"You’re carrying a treasure with you."
Hearing this, Feng Tianci slightly squinted his eyes.
He stared at Wang Zhan for a while before asking in confusion, "You’re not joking with me, right? I’m not an Alchemy Master, but I can see this girl’s got some skills and a likable personality, and I actually want to keep her by my side."
"But the problem now is, I’m worried she won’t go far in the future and won’t become a real Alchemy Master, not as useful as you say..."
If Zuo Linglong really could become an Alchemy Master, then she could indeed complement Feng Tianci well.
With the two working together, their power would be extremely terrifying.
After all, they could help each other and even complement one another.
But most importantly...
What if Zuo Linglong couldn’t do any of these?
Thinking of this, Feng Tianci spoke again, "How about this, after you refine the Demon Core, come over to personally train her. I want to see her growth, see the elixirs she refines improve day by day. If you can’t do this, don’t blame me for being unkind to you."
Hearing this, Wang Zhan pursed his lips, folding his arms, and muttered under his breath, "What could you do to me?"
After all, by then he would have completely absorbed the Demon Core.
Even though his increased strength wouldn’t match Feng Tianci’s, he knew Feng Tianci’s character; he wouldn’t easily make a move against him, nor would he kill him over the Demon Core.
After all, they’re considered teammates who’ve fought alongside each other.
Next to him, Feng Tianci said irritably, "Don’t think I didn’t hear your muttering. Even if I can’t kill you, I can cripple part of your cultivation temporarily, making you revert to what you are now."
"Not only making you waste time refining the Demon Core but also making you waste all that time in closed-door cultivation, which should be more painful than giving you a good beating, right?"
This is simply a murder of the heart.
After all, everyone knows that Wang Zhan cares most about his own cultivation.
During this time, he has been trying to improve his techniques, but he never expected that Feng Tianci could be so malicious.
He targeted Wang Zhan’s cultivation.
Feng Tianci, standing nearby, spoke up again: "Alright, now I have told you everything that needs to be said. How you proceed from here, you should be clear. I know approximately how long it takes to refine the Demon Core. If you intentionally delay, I will come to you personally."
"Is there a problem?"
It was clearly an open threat.
But Wang Zhan couldn’t say anything.
After all, Feng Tianci’s strength is obvious; there’s a huge gap between them.
If they really fight, it would be of no benefit to him.
Thinking of all this, Wang Zhan nodded, then sighed helplessly, and said: "Rest assured, everything will be done according to your intentions. If I really can’t do it, then you can do as you please."
Feng Tianci walked to his side and smiled with satisfaction, patted Wang Zhan’s shoulder, and said: "I knew you were reliable. Since that’s the case, don’t waste time here anymore. Go back and quickly refine the Demon Core, then come to meet me. I am impatiently waiting for that elixir, as it will be my trump card for survival."
Wang Zhan sighed dispiritedly before walking out of the cave.
Feng Tianci watched Wang Zhan’s figure disappearing, shook his head with a smile, and spoke to himself: "Meeting this lad is my fortune. I must say, he has some skills. Given time, he will certainly become a rising star on the Star War Battlefield."
"He might even dominate the Star War Battlefield."
Just then, a light laughter sounded in Feng Tianci’s ear, "Why do you rate him so highly?"
"In your eyes, will Wang Zhan surpass you in the future?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Tianci turned his head, glanced at Zuo Linglong standing beside him, and smiled as he said: "It’s uncertain now, but given his demonstrated strength, he is definitely noteworthy. I believe if given some time, he should be able to surpass me."
"After all, I am not the talent type; I’ve reached my current position through sheer hard work."
"Yet there is a fundamental difference compared to the talented."
Of course, what Feng Tianci didn’t say is that Wang Zhan is naturally the talent type.
Moreover, Wang Zhan’s strength is extremely terrifying.
He even personally witnessed Wang Zhan’s ladder-type improvement.
This kind of strength has far exceeded his imagination.
Indeed, even back then, he couldn’t alter Wang Zhan’s pace.
Also, at Wang Zhan’s age, he was nothing...
This is what shocked Feng Tianci the most.
Surely, if they were opponents, Wang Zhan would need to be directly killed before he grows, but he never considered Wang Zhan as his opponent.
Besides, he could see that Wang Zhan is a person of deep emotion and loyalty, so when he needs help in the future, Wang Zhan will probably be the first to act.
On the other side, Zuo Linglong, arms crossed, laughed and said: "I just heard your conversation. Though I dislike being used by you two, it’s good for me. If I really become an Alchemy Master, I won’t need to act myself, and many friends will come to serve my needs."
"So it sounds decent."
"But if I really become an Alchemy Master, then I also want to be attached to a strong person. Since you said you won’t be Wang Zhan’s opponent, I’d rather not waste time at your side and follow Wang Zhan closely, right?"
Hearing this, Feng Tianci almost flared his beard in anger.
He hurried to Zuo Linglong’s side, gritted his teeth and said: "I urge you to abandon this idea and stop testing my patience here! I’ve worked tirelessly to protect you only to let you become an Alchemy Master. I didn’t expect you to plan on abandoning me before you even get stronger — watch out, or I’ll eliminate you myself!"
Upon hearing this, Zuo Linglong quickly gave a sheepish smile and promptly said: "Wasn’t it initially you who wanted to push me away? After all, I begged at your side for long before you agreed to take me under your wing..."
"Is it okay for you to abandon me, but not me abandon you?"
As she spoke, Zuo Linglong’s mouth revealed a touch of grievance.
