"Alchemy? Xiao Lin, do you even understand it?"
Inside Xiao Lin's consciousness space, the Ice Dragon King looked at him with complete disdain.
Ever since Xiao Lin wrote down some soul beasts suitable as medicinal ingredients for the Xuan Water Pill, he had begun tinkering with the idea of alchemy.
Now even the Ice Dragon King had figured it out.
Xiao Lin simply did not understand alchemy at all. As for the "basic knowledge of chemistry" he kept mentioning…
The Ice Dragon King had already figured out what Xiao Lin meant by chemistry.
It meant poison, right?
"If you want to refine medicine, Xiao Lin, you might as well go ask Meimei. Soul beasts all have their own ability to find herbs. At the very least, that's better than someone like you who can't even recognize half the herbs."
The Fire Dragon King also strongly agreed with the Ice Dragon King's opinion. The two of them rarely agreed on anything, yet this time they were completely united.
"Six."
Hearing the two Dragon Kings mock him like spectators watching a comedy show, Xiao Lin felt speechless.
They had so little confidence in him.
Indeed, herbs and plants all looked rather similar. They were completely different from the countless strange soul beasts.
But he could make a Ten-Complete Great Tonic Pill, couldn't he?
A pill created by combining the essence blood of powerful soul beasts—wouldn't that be an incredibly powerful pill?
Even if others couldn't eat it, couldn't Xiao Lin himself eat it?
…Actually, better play it safe.
Although he had the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Well inside his body and could basically be considered immune to all poisons…
What if there existed a poison called the "One Hundred and First Poison"?
When refining pills, he should still have Tang San supervise a bit.
After quickly exhausting his three-minute enthusiasm, Xiao Lin noticed that Tang Hao and Dugu Bo were preparing to depart.
"Xiao Lin, you said the paper should let Xiao San write the section about pills, right?"
"Yes."
"Xiao Lin, you also said we should go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and have Ning Fengzhi purchase large quantities of whale glue from the market, right?"
"Yes. I want to invest and hold shares."
Xiao Lin nodded, taking out the black card Ning Fengzhi gave him from his storage soul tool.
He directly handed the black card to the old man. Xiao Lin wasn't worried about him embezzling anything.
After interacting with the old man for a while, Xiao Lin had already begun to trust him.
After all, he had even given so many immortal herbs to Xiao Lin and Tang San. What was there to worry about?
At that moment, Tang Hao—who was watching Xiao Lin hand the black card to Dugu Bo—fell silent.
Xiao Lin might be fine financially…
But Tang Hao himself had no money left.
The Clear Sky Sect had sealed itself off again.
After thinking for a moment, Tang Hao decided that all the profits from the whale glue business this time would simply be given away.
He remembered that in Heaven Dou City, Tai Tan of the Strength Clan was present. Back when Tang Hao had provided rear-guard support for Xiao Lin's carriage, Tai Tan recognized his fighting style.
Tai Tan had later come to Heaven Dou City to meet him.
Right now Tai Tan was probably staying at Blue Tyrant Academy, and it seemed the Speed Clan had also sent someone there.
Since Tang Hao had decided to reclaim the Four Great Clans, he might as well start with the Strength Clan and the Speed Clan.
With a treasure like whale glue, the Four Great Clans had no reason to refuse.
Before long, Tang Hao once again asked Xiao Lin to take care of Ah Yin, and then he and Dugu Bo quickly flew away.
Watching the two Title Douluo fly off into the distance, Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel envious.
Flying really was great.
It was the ultimate travel skill.
Originally, if his second soul skill had come from the Man-Faced Demon Spider, he might have obtained the Eight Spider Lances.
Combined with the characteristics of his Qiu Dragon Staff martial soul, if he created a thin soul-power membrane like cicada wings on the spider lances…
He might have been able to fly.
And if that didn't work, with the help of the two Dragon Kings, perhaps the Eight Spider Lances could even evolve into dragon wings.
However, he now had the Battle-God Cloak, which could also transform into wings.
Xiao Lin then turned to take care of his son and Ah Yin.
The Looking-Through-Autumn-Water Dew had now developed intelligence. Combined with Xiao Lin's acceleration ability, its cultivation had grown incredibly fast.
It already possessed two thousand years of soul power, recovering even faster than Ah Yin.
One had to know that Ah Yin was essentially re-cultivating from a hundred-thousand-year cultivation, something usually reserved for protagonists.
Yet the Autumn Water Dew was growing even faster than Ah Yin.
This clearly showed its astonishing talent.
"Old Ice, Old Fire, when do you think my son will reach a hundred-thousand-year cultivation?"
Xiao Lin connected his consciousness again and asked the two Dragon Kings.
"Probably faster than your pet."
The Ice Dragon King carefully observed through Xiao Lin's perspective and answered decisively.
"Meimei is already at eighty thousand years of cultivation."
Xiao Lin was greatly shocked.
Was his son really that impressive?
"Oh my precious son!"
After recovering from his shock, Xiao Lin became even friendlier toward the Autumn Water Dew, his movements more affectionate, his eyes filled with fatherly kindness.
"The Ice-Fire spiritual energy here has always been extremely suitable for plant-type soul beasts to cultivate, hasn't it?"
The Fire Dragon King said matter-of-factly.
"Right, right."
Xiao Lin quickly nodded.
After all, ten thousand years later, these immortal herbs would all become soul beasts over one hundred thousand years old.
"But since Qiuqiu has already awakened intelligence, do you think I should awaken the intelligence of the other immortal herbs?"
Thinking about how sacrifices could bring greater benefits, Xiao Lin asked the two dragons.
Instead of simply eating the herbs in a crude way, wouldn't it be better if they became hundred-thousand-year soul beasts and then sacrificed themselves?
They could even revive later and become divine officials under him.
"If you want to leave the Ice-Fire spiritual energy here for these herbs to cultivate, we have no objections."
The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings looked at each other and almost spoke in unison.
"Then forget it."
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Lin decided not to awaken the intelligence of the other herbs for now.
It wasn't because he wanted to monopolize the Ice-Fire spiritual energy.
He simply couldn't bring himself to do that.
This special environment of the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Well was clearly better preserved as a treasure land for future generations.
Of course he would absorb some of the Ice-Fire spiritual energy, but he would also leave part of it behind.
He might even later use the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Well as the core of a formation to create an artificial version, ensuring sustainable spiritual energy for the area.
After comforting Ah Yin again, Xiao Lin returned to his room.
Dealing with Yu Xiaogang required more than just one paper.
He wanted to completely belittle Yu Xiaogang until he was worthless.
So what paper should he write next?
What else about Yu Xiaogang could be criticized?
Leaning back in his chair, Xiao Lin thought hard.
Should he write about training methods?
He indeed had many training techniques. Previously he had avoided writing them clearly to prevent strengthening the enemy.
But now it didn't matter.
The Shrek students were all trash, and the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall was no longer a concern.
Besides, Yu Xiaogang's weighted-running training method was absolutely terrible.
But how could he clearly diss Yu Xiaogang's incompetence?
Xiao Lin grew anxious thinking about it.
Alright then.
His training method progressed step by step.
He would start by writing about weighted running training.
But even his most basic weighted-running training would be more scientific and more perfect than Yu Xiaogang's.
How would Yu Xiaogang respond to that?
At the beginning, he could introduce that useless Yu Xiaogang like this:
Regarding physical training methods, I specifically sent people to investigate the training methods of several talented students.
Among them, there was one academy whose training methods had extremely serious problems.
I simply cannot imagine that such crude methods would come from someone who calls himself a "master."
What a clumsy and primitive training method.
I heard that this academy once only recruited monster-level students.
Yet now those "monsters" have become nothing more than ordinary geniuses.
What a pity. What a pity!!!!
