Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Yes, Palace Master!" Lin Yi nodded."Palace Master, please give me a fire Spirit's fruit. I'll help you find a third class refiner within two years!"

"Why should I believe you?" "You're just a solo practitioner with no house or sect-what makes you think I'd believe that you'd be able to hire a third-level refiner in two years?"the sect master said faintly.

"Rogue cultivators are not necessarily inferior to clans or sects! Zhang naipao or Feng nitian, they're both from the ancient world, didn't they lose to me too?" Lin Yi puffed up his chest proudly as he spoke,"I don't know if the sect master has ever heard of this saying-a hero isn't afraid of a weak background, but if you're ambitious, you'll be proud no matter where you are! I may be a solo practitioner, but how do you know that I won't have a house or a sect one day?"

"Alright!" The sect master didn't say anything, but Qing clapped her hands."Well said, a hero doesn't care about his background! You're a solo cultivator, and you're already the strongest under Earth Class at this age. If you say you can start a family or a sect in the future, I believe you!"

"Anyone can say empty words and big talk. Why should I believe you?" The sect master, on the other hand, wasn't as worried as Qing-she only looked at Lin Yi and asked,""Have you ever seen an Alchemist? Do you know an Alchemist? Where are you going to find an Alchemist for me in two years?"

"That's ..." Lin Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't know how to answer the sect master's question! Lin Yi didn't know how to explain it. Was he supposed to tell her that he wanted to become a refiner?

But if he didn't answer or just said something half-heartedly, he wouldn't be able to get past the sect master. Lin Yi could tell that the sect master was young, but she was very smart-he wouldn't be able to just make up a story to trick her.

"Actually, I'm currently learning alchemy. In two years, I'll definitely be able to become an Alchemist above the third realm!" Lin Yi thought for a while and decided to tell the truth-only then would the sect master be convinced!

"You? Learn alchemy?" The sect master's eyes went wide as if she'd just heard the funniest joke of the day. Even her usually cold face showed a hint of surprise! She didn't know what to say anymore!

The sect master didn't know how to describe this person. Was he too arrogant or overconfident? Or was he simply lying to him?

"Yes, I am!" Lin Yi nodded seriously.

"Are you making fun of me?" The sect master couldn't help but frown-she didn't know what to say to this man. "It's good to have ambition, but overconfidence is arrogance. "

"Don't you think that before alchemists become alchemists, they are not ordinary cultivators?" Lin Yi asked.

"It's not that I'm underestimating you, but your words are truly hard for me to believe. " "There are too many people who want to become a refiner, but those who can actually become one are few and far between!" The sect master said faintly.

Lin Yi stretched out his hand, and a fire element refinement fire appeared in his right hand. Sometimes, facts spoke louder than words, and Lin Yi had to show his ability to convince the other party."What do you think now?"

"Pill fire? You've already condensed a solid pill fire?" Qing was a little surprised. Although not all people who could condense a pill fire could become an Alchemist, and many people gave up halfway, all alchemists started from condensing the pill fire.

The sect master raised a brow, evidently surprised as well, but her expression didn't change much."Condensing the elixir fire is the first step to becoming an Alchemist. However, an Alchemist needs talent. Being able to condense the elixir fire doesn't necessarily mean that one can become an Alchemist. There are too many alchemists who give up halfway!"

The sect Master's words were a direct hit to Lin Yi's life! Lin Yi didn't want to admit it, but he had to-the sect master was strong, young as she was, but a Sky Class master's knowledge was different.

Lin Yi could be said to have just stepped into the door of a refiner, but he was still stuck at controlling fire-if he didn't make any progress, he'd be just like those refiners who gave up halfway!

If one couldn't raise the temperature of the alchemy fire, then they would be useless. The alchemy fire in their hands could only be used as a toy, and it was useless for alchemy.

"I will work hard." Lin Yi said.

"I'll trust you this once. I'll give you a fire Spirit's fruit, and if you can become a third level refiner or higher within two years, you'll be an eternal ally of the Ice Palace. Otherwise, you'll be an enemy. Think about the consequences of lying to the Ice Palace. " The sect master's trust in Lin Yi this time was just giving face to aunt Qing-she still couldn't believe that Lin Yi could become a third level refiner in two years!

Even if he was a genius in the field of alchemy, it would still take him more than ten years to become a third-grade Alchemist even if he started learning alchemy from a young age. How could he possibly become a third-grade Alchemist from a person who had just started learning alchemy in two years?

If being an Alchemist was so easy to cultivate, then this profession would have long become a common one! The sky elixir sect's young master was already twenty years old, but he was only a golden class second level refiner-he hadn't broken through to the third level yet. Even in a refiner family like this, it was impossible to level up this quickly, let alone a freelancer like Lin Yi!

And so, the sect master didn't believe at all that Lin Yi could become a third level or higher-she was only giving face to the Ice Palace and aunt Qing.

"Can I have two ..." Lin Yi asked weakly.

"Oh?" The sect master thought she'd heard wrong-she cried out in shock! Although she usually pretended to be very serious, she was only a teenager. She really couldn't imagine how this person in front of her could be so thick-skinned. She promised to give him a fire spirit fruit because of aunt Qing, and he was so thick-skinned to ask for two?

"What's wrong?" Lin Yi felt that he was asking too much, but he had to give it a try. Since he was here, he couldn't just save Feng Xiaoxiao, his future mother-in-law was still waiting to be cured!

"What do you think the fruit is? It's sold all over the streets like dragon fruit?" The sect master finally couldn't hold back her dissatisfaction anymore. "It's already good enough to give you one. How many more do you want?" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendation and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
