Chapter 936: Chapter 934: Three Requests
However, as the two continued their conversation, they saw Dong Tianlei walking over from the side.
After glancing at the two, he smiled and looked at Wang Zhan: "Although I didn’t hear your conversation just now, I guess you definitely want to keep Xuan Yu in the Sky Pavilion, right?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan was slightly taken aback, then helplessly shook his head and said with a smile, "Once we go out, someone naturally needs to hold down the fort at the Sky Pavilion. Otherwise, if there’s any trouble, we might not be able to return in time to provide support."
"Although the Sky Pavilion has become the largest faction in this area, there’s always a concern about potential trouble from small-timers, so naturally, we need to be more thoughtful. After all, this is the foundation of our establishment."
Dong Tianlei nodded and continued, "If Xuan Yu doesn’t want to stay here, I can remain in his place. After all, I’m already quite old and have lost the urge to compete, so it doesn’t matter where I am."
"Besides, it’s clear that regardless of the outcome, Xiang Tian and Luo Xue have both chosen to stay by your side. The time they have spent with you seems to have changed them significantly, and their competitive spirit is indeed quite intriguing."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan nodded, glanced at the people engaged in training, then shook his head and said with a smile, "This is a good thing for them. When I first brought them out, they were just frail existences, but fortunately, they have grown quickly, which makes me quite pleased."
"But Xiang Tian’s temperament needs a good bit of adjustment, although for now, I’m at a loss for a better solution."
"Perhaps as his strength further improves in the future, there might be some changes?"
Dong Tianlei nodded again and then smirked slightly, saying, "Don’t worry, as he gets older or encounters a girl he likes, he’ll naturally change. So we needn’t worry; let’s just leave it to him to handle..."
Wang Zhan nodded, acknowledging that this was all they could do for now.
Wang Zhan didn’t focus on those sparring, as this was already predetermined. He just wanted to motivate Xiang Tian and Luo Xue.
In his absence, they might slack off, and without the pressure of competition, they wouldn’t fully commit to training.
After the arrangements with Xuan Yu and Dong Tianlei were made, he glanced towards the back mountain, then slowly said, "Before leaving, I need to have a word with Feng Tianci."
"Wait here for a moment. If anything comes up, just call for me."
Xuan Yu and Dong Tianlei nodded and said nothing further.
In a blink, Wang Zhan vanished from their line of sight.
Dong Tianlei crossed his arms, glanced in the direction of the training grounds, and then shook his head with a smile, "I must admit, Xiang Tian and Luo Xue have improved rapidly in strength. Have you also noticed that Xiang Tian’s personality has changed quite a lot?"
When Dong Tianlei first came to the Sky Pavilion, Xiang Tian was often contentious, even looking to challenge him.
Even if Xiang Tian wasn’t his match, he always sought to spar.
But Xiang Tian has changed significantly now.
This indeed brings comfort.
Xuan Yu, standing by, nodded and said with a smile, "During this time, he has naturally changed a lot, which we’ve all seen. However, to become a strong figure, mindset is crucial. Otherwise, when his skills reach a peak, he’ll hit a bottleneck, and his prowess won’t continue to grow."
"Fortunately, he has already made major changes."
Thinking of this, Dong Tianlei nodded and said, "It’s impressive that at such a young age, you have such insight. No wonder Wang Zhan trusts you with such a big responsibility. While mindset is indeed important, strength is equally so."
"In no time, you’ll likely become a pinnacle existence."
Ha...
Hearing this, Xuan Yu smiled slightly, shaking his head, and said, "Alright, stop teasing me. The Sky Pavilion isn’t just my responsibility. With you here, I’m sure you’re the one Wang Zhan truly values."
They exchanged glances but said nothing more.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan had arrived at the back mountain.
Soon, he followed the elixir fragrance and found Feng Tianci and company.
As he entered, Feng Tianci opened his eyes slowly, glanced at Wang Zhan, and said, "I knew you’d come to see me soon. Trying to show off your prowess?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan shook his head, sat beside Feng Tianci, looked at the busy Zuo Linglong, and said, "I have legitimate issues to discuss. I’ll likely be away for a while, so I’ll need you to handle things here."
"How do you feel about that?"
Feng Tianci was briefly stunned and then frowned slightly, "I knew it; you never come with good news. You’re really something."
"Looks like you really see me as a free hand, right?"
Wang Zhan nodded, saying, "I do see you as a hand, but not for free. I’ve given you so many elixirs, so isn’t it fair for you to help me with this?"
"Rest assured, you’ll never be shortchanged."
Hearing this, Feng Tianci’s eyes lit up. He eagerly leaned closer to Wang Zhan, asking, "Then tell me, what do you plan to give me? If it’s worthwhile, I’ll consider it. But if it’s worthless, don’t blame me for turning my back on you."
Wang Zhan shook his head helplessly, pointing at Zuo Linglong, and said, "What would it matter if I tell you now? You know I haven’t had time for alchemy, focused instead on improving my skills. However, I can entrust the alchemy techniques to Zuo Linglong. Whatever medicine you need, she can make."
"As for materials, you can liaise directly with Xuan Yu and Dong Tianlei. They’ll be around and ready to assist."
Hearing this, Feng Tianci’s eyes brightened. Grabbing Wang Zhan’s arm, he eagerly asked, "Can she even create the kind of potion that got me to peak state before?"
Wang Zhan nodded firmly.
Feng Tianci slapped his thigh excitedly, saying, "But can Zuo Linglong, with her current skill, really make such advanced elixirs?"
Feng Tianci knew well enough that making potent elixirs wasn’t easy.
At the very least, it requires one’s strength to be fully restored.
Wang Zhan nodded, saying, "Don’t worry, I’ve observed it. Zuo Linglong’s alchemy skills have greatly improved this period. With her current strength, it’s not difficult for her to produce the elixirs you need."
"Once I share my insights and the necessary techniques with her, I believe it won’t take long for Zuo Linglong to make what you need."
Feng Tianci clenched his fists in excitement, saying, "Great! Let’s follow your plan."
Wang Zhan patted Feng Tianci’s shoulder and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t shortchange you. Perhaps we won’t even need your help this time, given the current strength of the Sky Pavilion, with Xuan Yu and Dong Tianlei here, we shouldn’t face much trouble."
"For now, just focus on helping Zuo Linglong. Certain elixirs require uninterrupted conditions, so ensure her work isn’t disturbed and she can refine top-grade elixirs."
Feng Tianci crossed his arms confidently and said, "You needn’t worry about that. My strength ensures that I can assist Zuo Linglong in managing every aspect here."
"Good."
Wang Zhan nodded, setting his sight on Zuo Linglong.
At the same time, Zuo Linglong turned around, swiftly approached Wang Zhan, and asked with a smile, "Master, why are you here?"
"I heard your strength has further improved, is that so?"
