Getting Stronger By Fighting

Chapter 937: Chapter 935: Heading to Thunder Mountain

Wang Zhan didn’t hide anything from Zuo Linglong. He nodded with his arms crossed, smiling as he said, "Although your strength hasn’t seen an economic increase, I must say, your current state has indeed improved a lot."

"I reckon it won’t be long before you become a master of alchemy with formidable skills."

Zuo Linglong, standing to the side, smiled excitedly and quickly walked up to Wang Zhan, saying again, "I wonder if the master can give me some more elixir recipes? Then teach me some alchemy techniques, because I feel like I’ve hit a bottleneck. There are many things I can’t figure out, and although I can keep refining, the efficacy varies greatly..."

Wang Zhan waved his hand nonchalantly and patted his shoulder, speaking afterwards, "I’ve calculated carefully. It’s been less than a month since I went into seclusion, and you’ve only been learning alchemy for about a month. But unexpectedly, your skill has improved so remarkably fast, which clearly shows you have an outstanding talent."

"That’s how I feel too."

Zuo Linglong showed no interest and directly spoke out.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan shook his head helplessly and said lightly, "To become a master of alchemy, it’s better to be humble, or else you might become a public enemy. After all, being a master alchemist isn’t an easy profession, even if you can command respect, being too hostile towards too many people won’t benefit you much either."

Zuo Linglong nodded.

Actually, she was just having different thoughts because of her fast progress recently.

But overall, he wasn’t really an arrogant person, especially when compared to Xiang Tian, there was still quite a gap.

Wang Zhan patted his shoulder again and said, "Alright, I also need your master to help me with something, so I can’t be stingy with you now. Whenever you don’t understand something, just ask me immediately, and I’ll help you break through the bottleneck."

"After that, I’ll teach you all the methods to refine other elixirs."

Zuo Linglong nearly jumped up with excitement and nodded.

"Alright, everything just as you say!"

Soon, Wang Zhan and the others had moved to the side.

Over the next period of time, Wang Zhan continued to teach Zuo Linglong some alchemy techniques, and it must be said that Zuo Linglong’s ability to absorb knowledge was indeed strong.

Standing by, Feng Tianci watched them quietly.

After all, once Zuo Linglong’s alchemy skills reached a certain level, it would benefit him greatly.

With time passing by smoothly, Wang Zhan slowly stood up, patted Zuo Linglong’s shoulder, and expressed satisfaction, "I have to say, this little girl’s talent is really good. Soon enough, you’ll be able to refine all the elixirs Feng Tianci wants."

Upon hearing this, the most excited of course was Feng Tianci. In no time, Feng Tianci stood in front of the two.

Feng Tianci grabbed Wang Zhan’s arm and quickly asked, "You’re not tricking me, right?"

"I still need you to stay in the Sky Pavilion for me, so how could I lie to you?"

Wang Zhan said lightly, "Alright, just put your mind at ease, I’m sure it won’t be long before his skills further improve, and the level of elixirs he refines will also get much better."

Feng Tianci nodded without saying more.

After giving them a glance, Wang Zhan pointed towards the direction down the mountain and said with a smile, "Now I’m planning to go to Thunder Mountain to seek the Divine Heart, so the people down the mountain are competing, and they should have results by now."

"So I won’t accompany you longer, this side of things is left to you two."

"If there’s any need, just contact Xuan Yu and Dong Tianlei directly, I’ve already informed them."

After they both agreed, they said nothing further.

In no time, Wang Zhan had already walked out of the cave, and the voice of the Sword Spirit rang out in his mind, "Are you really not going to take that little girl as your disciple?"

All this time, even though Zuo Linglong regarded Wang Zhan as her mentor, Wang Zhan never truly considered her his student.

Others might not notice this, but Sword Spirit, having a similar understanding with Wang Zhan, knew very well.

Wang Zhan stretched lazily before smiling and saying, "As long as I teach him alchemy, his future path is his own concern, we really don’t need to worry too much."

"Besides, with Feng Tianci by his side teaching him some techniques, he’s likely much stronger than me, so why bother wasting others’ time?"

Upon hearing this, Sword Spirit merely shook his head, then smiled and said, "I just have the sense that his talent is quite good. If kept by your side, he could undoubtedly become your right-hand aide in the future, after all..."

As he spoke, Sword Spirit continued, "After all, I can see that both Xiang Tian and Luo Xue are working hard, but their talent is limited. In the short term, they definitely can’t improve quickly, and they might have already reached their bottleneck, making breakthroughs extremely difficult."

"So, they definitely won’t be your powerful right-hand men."

Wang Zhan simply didn’t question his words, after all, he was well aware of it too.

If Xiang Tian and Luo Xue hadn’t received the inheritance of the honored one, their current strength would probably be much lower.

After all, their talent is limited.

And in cultivation, talent is the most important, followed by effort.

However, Wang Zhan shook his head, glanced at the Sword Spirit, and then said, "Sometimes, the most important thing isn’t just their strength, after all, they see me as their brother, so I will stand in front of them, no matter what happens, I’ll be the first to step in and help."

"So even if their strength is lacking, I will always keep them by my side."

The Sword Spirit just nodded, knowing Wang Zhan’s character well, and didn’t continue to speak.

In a blink of an eye, the two were already at the foot of the mountain.

At this moment, the crowd had already determined who was superior and who was inferior.

Everyone was talking loudly, not sure what they were discussing.

Wang Zhan could see that everyone’s mood was good, seemingly not hurting the camaraderie due to this competition.

He walked up to several people, his gaze landing on Xuan Yu, and then smiled and asked, "So, who won?"

Before Xuan Yu could speak, Xiang Tian suddenly ran excitedly towards Wang Zhan and immediately said, "Naturally, it’s me and Luo Xue."

"Xuan Yu and Dong Tianlei both know that our strength is relatively strong, so they didn’t dare to compete too much with us."

"Naturally, the two of us can be the ones to accompany Brother Wang to Thunder Mountain this time."

"And the people in our camp are also very strong; they did us proud."

Seeing Xiang Tian’s proud demeanor, Wang Zhan just kicked him lightly on the butt and then said irritably, "You really have low emotional intelligence, can’t you see that Xuan Yu and Dong Tianlei are deliberately letting you win?"

"If it weren’t for that, how could you and Luo Xue possibly be their opponents?"

Before Xiang Tian could say anything, Luo Xue already walked up to Wang Zhan and said with a smile, "Actually, I’ve already noticed this, so I want to thank Xuan Yu and Dong Tianlei well; without them, how could we take first place?"

Wang Zhan waved at the two of them and then continued, "Alright, you two stop lingering here. Since you’ve already gained an advantage, stop pretending. You both should pack up obediently and then go with me to Thunder Mountain."

"But remember, this time when you enter Thunder Mountain, you will encounter top-notch experts, and if something happens at this time, I won’t be able to protect you."

Luo Xue nodded aside.

Before they knew it, Xiang Tian and the others had already left, heading back to prepare.

Meanwhile, Wang Zhan’s gaze fell on Xuan Yu and Dong Tianlei, then he smiled and looked in the direction where Xiang Tian and the others left, shaking his head, saying, "They’re just like kids, but I have to say, Luo Xue is indeed much smarter than Xiang Tian."

Both smiled without speaking.

After all, the reason why they stayed inside Tian Pavilion was entirely because of Wang Zhan.

And Wang Zhan has always been good to them.

Switching topics, Wang Zhan then smiled and said, "For the next period, the matters of Tian Pavilion will be handed over to both of you to manage. I’ve already explained to Feng Tianci, if you encounter any trouble here, he will come immediately, ensuring nothing happens to you."

"After all, Sky Pavilion is also our Base, and we absolutely cannot afford any mistakes, or if a fire breaks out later, it won’t benefit any of us."

Dong Tianlei nodded heavily, then smiled and said, "Don’t worry, with the three of us here, even if the sky falls down on Sky Pavilion, there won’t be any problems."

Xuan Yu also nodded in agreement.

Only then did Wang Zhan smile with satisfaction, "With you two by my side, I am indeed very reassured."
