Legend of Reborn Alchemist

For the entire morning, Lin City did not manage to discover anything special about it. Seeing that it was almost time for Zhu Ziyang to acknowledge Liu Ming as his teacher, Liu Ming could only give up.

"Forget it, let's take things one step at a time."

Lin Cheng gave up on investigating the black iron piece and mumbled: "No matter what this black iron piece is, I can't do anything to it for now, so I might as well get the blue fire first. Maybe, I can use the blue fire to force it out!"

With no better option, Lin City could only temporarily ignore it and head towards the place where Bamboo Hill went to acknowledge him as master.

Patriarch Seven's ceremony of accepting disciples was held in the inner courtyard of the Eastern Region Academy. For some reason, the academy didn't prohibit outsiders from going there, so people like Lin City could easily sneak in.

From the perspective of the Lin City, perhaps the Eastern Region Academy wanted to use this as a way to tell the crowd that as long as they were geniuses, they would be valued in the Eastern Region Academy, and could even directly acknowledge elders as their masters.

Although Lin City couldn't stand Patriarch Seven being like this, he knew that there was a huge gap between him and Shuijian. To be able to acknowledge Shuihan as his teacher, at least to the Danhai Realm, he would be able to give her a great amount of help and guidance.

Add to that the fact that Bamboo Forcing had extraordinary talent, her future achievements would naturally be limitless.

Therefore, even though Lin Cheng knew that the water anise disliked him, he did not care at all. He was not the disciple of Shui Di, so how many times would he see Shui Ni in the future?

Lin City followed the crowd to the inner courtyard. At this moment, before the ceremony had even begun, everyone was already discussing something in a low voice.

"Have you heard that during this disciple recruitment ceremony, five to six geniuses are going to be under the tutelage of several elders. Tsk tsk, to be able to directly become the disciple of an elder as soon as they enter the academy, their futures are truly limitless!"

"The East Region Academy truly deserves the title of the Eastern Region's Pearl. Five or six geniuses actually entered it at once. It's likely that no ordinary school will have a single genius appear even after many years. This is the difference."

"How can those sects be compared with the East Region Academy? One must know that a genius with deep blue affinity for spiritual energy is participating in the disciple recruitment today. Even the immortal sects in the cultivation world would be robbed!"

Upon hearing these words, many of the surrounding people couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

Lin City was at the back of the crowd, and when he heard these discussions, a smile appeared on his face. It seemed that, at least, that girl, Zhu Ziguo, did not have to worry about being wronged in the East State Academy.

Unless the higher-ups of the East Region Academy had gone crazy, they would not dare to let Zhu Zifu suffer even the slightest bit.

"I didn't expect you to actually dare to come!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out beside Lin City's ears. He immediately turned his head, only to see a beautiful figure had appeared beside him.

This beautiful figure was no other than Le Xuan Nian, who had exhorted him yesterday.

"Senior sister Le."

Lin Cheng apologized and turned to look behind Le Xuan Nian, but he didn't see Jing Feiyang, Yi Qing, and Mu Nanxing.

When Le Xuan saw Lin City's gaze, she knew what he was looking for and could not help but say, "You don't need to look. Jing Feiyang has already arrived. He's at the very front. I'm afraid that Shu Yiqing will not be coming."

Lin Cheng was stunned for a moment before coming to a realization.

At this moment, Jing Feiyang wanted to get close to Zhu Zifu's heart, and he felt even more fervent about it.

Qing Qing obviously wasn't in a good mood. If she came to watch the ceremony, wouldn't that mean she was looking for a beating?

"What about Brother Mu?" Lin Cheng casually asked.

"You still have the mood to care about others?" She hesitated for a moment before lowering her voice and saying, "Lin Cheng, it's still not too late. I advise you to leave quickly, or else once the heat infuriates Seventh Elder, at that time you …"

"Sister Le, I appreciate your kindness."

Lin Cheng could feel the sincerity in Le Xuan's words, but he did not intend to leave. Even if Shui Ang really wanted to attack him, he would not leave now.

After living a new life, Lin City no longer wished to avoid everything.

Seeing Lin Cheng's resolute expression, Le Xuan shook her head and sighed. She did not say anything more.

She only warned him because she knew he was loyal and had heard of Patriarch Seven's character. However, she didn't waste her breath when she saw that he didn't listen to her.

However, towards Lin Cheng's insistence, Le Xuan Xin inwardly admired it.

If Lin City ran away the moment they heard that there was danger, then they would be able to leave Zhu Ziyang here by herself. That way, Lin City would be able to keep their lives, but Le Xuan Xin would not want to see that kind of outcome.

Similarly, as a woman, no one was willing to see their beloved man so easily abandon them. Le Xuan Nian was no exception.

"Look, someone's coming out!"

As the group of people entered the hall from the inner hall, the ceremony officially began.

There were a total of six people participating in this time's disciple recruitment ceremony, and Bamboo Gou Zi was one of them. However, compared to the other few other geniuses who had excited expressions on their faces, Bamboo Gou's pretty face had a smile on it, but it seemed to be a bit absent-minded.

However, seeing how crowded the crowd was and how there was no sign of Lin City, Zhu Ziquan could not help but feel slightly gloomy.

"Ziquan, what are you looking at?"

Patriarch Seven asked with a slight frown.

Zhu Zifu shook his head slowly, "Master, I didn't see anything."

"Then get ready, the ceremony is about to begin." Shui Ani said.

"Yes sir!"

Zhu Zifu replied.

The water anise could not help but secretly frown. The reaction of the bamboo stick was too dull, which made Shui Rui very uncomfortable.

One had to know that joining the East Continent Academy and becoming a disciple were two entirely different matters.

If one joined the East Region Academy, they would only be a student of the academy. Together with the other students, they would receive guidance from the teachers. Other than that, however, there were very few people who were able to receive special guidance from the teachers.

Becoming a disciple was a kind of inheritance, and one could receive the careful guidance of their master. However, within the Eastern Region Academy, only elder-level and headmaster had the right to take in disciples. For any student, this was definitely a dream.

But looking at Zhu Zifu, he was actually very absent-minded. He was not as agitated as the other geniuses, and instead looked around from time to time as if he was looking for someone.

Shui Ang immediately thought of the trash that Bamboo Shoot had been defending the day before.

That's right!

The bamboo stick must be looking for that trash!

A cold light flashed across Shui Ani's eyes. She had noticed the relationship between Zhouzi and that piece of trash during the assessment yesterday, so she decisively took away Zhuku and didn't even give her a chance to talk to Lin Cheng.

At first, she thought that once Bamboo Formations took her as her master, she would send someone to chase that trash out of Yongan City and the East State Academy's grounds. If that trash dared to disobey, or even resist, she would kill him on the spot!

However, Shui Ani had changed her mind. Judging from Zhuangzi's reaction, she realized that there must be a deep entanglement between Zhuangzi and that piece of trash. If that was the case, then chasing that piece of trash out was far from enough.

Since it was impossible to chase them out, he might as well kill them all!

Shui Ang made up his mind and was about to speak when he realized that Bamboo Gou, who had been looking around, had suddenly stopped. An intoxicated smile had appeared on her charming face, and her pair of big eyes were curved like crescent moons.

The water anise followed her gaze and immediately saw that the trash called Lin City was standing in the middle of the crowd outside the hall. Shui Ani's gaze immediately turned cold.

Lin City noticed that Zhuangzi had spotted him, and then he saw her lips twitch. He immediately recognized that Zhuangzi was referring to a 'little thief', and he couldn't help but glare at her. The smile on her face became even wider, and her eyes became even more charming.

Suddenly, Lin Cheng felt an icy chill, as if he had fallen into a cave of ice. He turned around abruptly and saw Shui Ang's icy gaze.

The two men's eyes met. Lin Cheng could clearly see killing intent in Shui Ani's eyes. He couldn't help but shiver, and then he got angry.

Shui Yi really wanted to kill him!

Lin City's expression had also turned cold. Even though Le Xuan Xiang had warned him before, in his opinion, Shui Wei would at most teach him a ruthless lesson, or perhaps even humiliate him a little and chase him out. However, she wouldn't kill him directly; after all, there was no enmity between the two.

However, when he saw the look in Shui Ani's eyes, he understood that Shui Ani was really going to kill him.

In his eyes, he was already a dead man!

Just because Zhu Ziyang was so talented, Shui Ani wanted to kill him in order to cut off his relationship with Zhu Ziyang, this woman was truly vicious!

Perhaps, in Shui Ani's eyes, he was just an ant that he could kill at any time!

Lin Cheng's heart was filled with rage, but he still remained expressionless as he shifted his gaze to the bamboo stick.

At this moment, Takeuchi Mikiko did not notice Shui Ani's gaze. She was being led by a servant and was preparing to serve Shui Ani some tea.

Lin City suppressed the anger in his heart. Although Shui Ani wanted to kill him, there was no doubt that this woman was powerful. Zhu Ziquan wanted to improve his strength, so he decided to become her disciple.

Lin Cheng didn't want to miss this opportunity to take Zhu Zifu as his master because of him.

Thus, after Bamboo Shoot finished acknowledging him as his master, Lin City quietly left.

When she went back to the city, she found it gone. Her expression changed a little, and she was about to go out to search for it, but she was stopped by Shui Ang.

"Ziquan, what are you going to do?"

Shui Ani frowned, "Now you have taken me as your master. From today onwards, you will have to practice with me. Follow me!"

Zhu Ziyang said hesitantly, "Master, I still have some matters to attend to. I want to go out for a bit."

"No."

Shui Ani rejected directly and said, "You've seen it yourself. You're not the only genius who joined the East Region Academy this year. If you don't want to be left behind, you can't be delayed. Follow me now."
