"Master Zhou's meaning is that you approve of Xiaotian becoming Mr. Lin's disciple?"
Hearing Zhou Qianyuan's words, Sun Zhiqian was obviously a little surprised.
After all, this matter was considered a family affair of their Sun family. With Zhou Qianyuan's personality, he generally disliked interfering in other people's family matters.
He never expected that now, because of a Lin Chen, things would change?
"Hahaha, Patriarch Sun, although Mr. Lin has hidden his cultivation, his attainments in medical skills are no less than mine."
"If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Lin, you must have already condensed Dan Fire and become a true alchemist, right?"
As he spoke, Zhou Qianyuan turned to look at Lin Chen and asked the question in his heart.
"That's right, how did you guess?"
Lin Chen nodded and did not deny it.
"Hahaha, I just used my spiritual energy to examine the young master's meridians and did not detect any discomfort in the young master's acupoints."
"But Mr. Lin could sense it from several meters away, which clearly shows that he has mastered the Way of Alchemy and has reached perfection in controlling his breath."
"If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Lin, you have also surpassed me in the path of alchemy?"
Zhou Qianyuan asked Lin Chen with a smile.
He was not a mediocre person and had always diligently studied alchemy and medicine.
The young master's condition just now was indeed due to his insufficient ability that he did not detect it.
If Lin Chen's alchemy level was truly lower than his, how could he have discovered it?
"Hehehe, Master Zhou is too kind. I actually just reached Rank Two by chance."
Seeing Zhou Qianyuan directly probing him, Lin Chen smiled sheepishly and quickly explained.
It was all his fault for showing off unnecessarily.
"Oh? Hahahaha!"
Hearing Lin Chen's explanation, Zhou Qianyuan chuckled but did not expose him.
However, he himself knew very well that being able to do what Lin Chen did just now required at least a Rank Three alchemist!
But he also knew that since Lin Chen was unwilling to admit it, he was holding back his strength.
Since the other party intended to hide his strength, how could he possibly expose it?
"What? Mr. Lin, you are also a Rank Two alchemist?"
However, Lin Chen's words sounded completely different to Sun Zhiqian's ears.
Good heavens, he was still wondering why Zhou Qianyuan hadn't discovered the details that Lin Chen had.
So it turned out that this Mr. Lin was actually a Rank Two alchemist!
"I just broke through by chance."
Lin Chen smiled slightly. He knew that if he wanted to take Sun Xiaotian as his disciple, he would definitely have to show some strength.
Otherwise, without tangible proof, who would entrust their close relatives to him?
"Good, good, good, Xiaotian, quickly kneel and bow to your master!"
Without hesitation, Sun Zhiqian immediately pulled Sun Xiaotian over.
Although Sun Xiaotian was young, as a member of a cultivation family, he understood the value of a Rank Two alchemist. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed respectfully to Lin Chen three times.
"Disciple Sun Xiaotian pays respects to Master!"
"Good, good, good, Xiaotian, from today onwards, you are the eldest disciple under my tutelage."
"This spiritual artifact, as well as these pills, will be considered a meeting gift."
"You must cultivate this 'Dual Dragon Divine Skill of Water and Fire' diligently."
Lin Chen then took out a pile of items from his Qiankun Bag and handed them all to Sun Xiaotian.
"Whoa, a spiritual artifact as a meeting gift? And so many Spirit Gathering Pills?"
"One, two, three, four... My goodness, at least dozens of Rank One Spirit Gathering Pills!"
Seeing the meeting gifts Lin Chen took out, everyone present was stunned.
Especially Sun Zhiqian at this moment. Even as the Patriarch of the Sun family, he didn't have so many assets on him!
What exactly was Lin Chen's identity?
The meeting gifts he casually took out were so precious?
"Thank you, Master!"
After receiving the items, Sun Xiaotian kowtowed to Lin Chen again.
"Alright, get up. From today onwards, you are the third-generation eldest disciple of our Ghost God Sect. When your Grandmaster comes out of seclusion, I will take you back to the sect to meet him."
Lin Chen helped Sun Xiaotian up and patted his head.
"Yes, Master!"
Sun Xiaotian's voice was childlike and adorable.
"Good, good, good, second brother, third brother, issue a decree. Our Sun family will hold a grand banquet to celebrate for three days and three nights!"
Sun Zhiqian waved his hand and spoke directly to Sun Zhiqiang and Sun Zhihao beside him.
His grandson taking a Rank Two alchemist as his master was something that had to be flaunted!
"Mr. Lin, please this way!"
At this moment, Sun Zhiqian's attitude had changed a hundred and eighty degrees.
Master Zhou had become a mere foil, and Lin Chen had become the focus of attention for everyone in the Sun family.
"Then, Patriarch Sun, we will take our leave."
Seeing how popular Lin Chen was, Master Zhou sighed slightly, his expression filled with helplessness.
This time, his old face had been completely disgraced.
"Xiaohao, you spoke disrespectfully to Mr. Lin earlier. Why don't you step forward and apologize?"
After greeting Sun Zhiqian, Zhou Qianyuan pulled Zhou Hao, who had been hiding behind him, out.
Although Zhou Hao was unconvinced, he knew the principle of being outmatched. He immediately bowed to Lin Chen and said, "I'm sorry!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Sun Zhiqian originally wanted to keep Zhou Qianyuan for a longer stay, but Zhou Qianyuan was concerned about his reputation. Now that he had been publicly embarrassed, how could he be willing to stay any longer?
For several days, Lin Chen stayed at the Sun family, teaching Sun Xiaotian the 'Dual Dragon Divine Skill of Water and Fire'.
It had to be said that Sun Xiaotian was indeed a genius with dual spiritual roots. In just three days, he had advanced from Body Tempering Layer One to Layer Two.
Although a large part of this was due to the Spirit Gathering Pills Lin Chen provided, his own talent was also indispensable.
Five days later, Sun Xiaotian's cultivation stabilized, and the Southwest Grand Competition was about to begin.
Sun Zhiqian also found Lin Chen and Long Yuling immediately.
"Mr. Lin, Miss Long, from now on, the Southwest Sun family and the Zhejiang Dragon family are allies who share life and death, and will prosper and suffer together!"
"This time, in the Southwest Grand Competition, we have a total of ten spots. I will lead the team personally, and the other participating cultivators are all at the Core Formation stage!"
Sun Zhiqian informed Lin Chen of the Sun family's lineup for the competition, which also made Lin Chen sigh with emotion.
As expected of the Sun family, one of the five sects and four families in the Southwest. Such a grand display with a single move.
However, what worried Lin Chen even more was that if the Sun family, the lowest of the five sects and four families, had such a foundation, how powerful would the other sects be?
And most importantly, wouldn't the other sects have surely found their own allies?
Looking at it, it seemed that winning the Southwest Grand Competition would be fraught with difficulties!
