Xiao Yan was convinced.
With just a few words, this willow mat had fooled his elderly father.
"Father..."
Xiao Yan tried to struggle, but Liu Xi didn't give him much of a chance.
After Xiao Zhan finished speaking, he shook his head and said:
"I'd rather not offer any pointers!"
"As a first-grade alchemist, I really don't have much to offer your son, but..."
Liu Xi made a cross, and everyone's attention was drawn to him.
He then said, "However, this is the first time I have ever seen an alchemist whose soul power fluctuations could make me feel something before the alchemist talent test was even conducted. Your son's alchemist talent has truly surprised me."
"Well then, although I cannot personally instruct your son, I have here a basic alchemy manual that all alchemists need to read before they begin learning alchemy."
It contains some basic knowledge about alchemists' control of fire and extraction of medicinal materials, including some simple methods for making first-grade pills, as well as some techniques for identifying medicinal materials. I will give this basic alchemist's handbook to your son!
As he spoke, Liu Xi took out a booklet and handed it to Xiao Yan, who was completely dumbfounded.
"Yan'er, hurry up and thank Master Liu Xi!"
Xiao Zhan was overjoyed and hurriedly woke up Xiao Yan, who was still in a daze.
I thought to myself, "Has this son gone mad?"
He's usually quite quick-witted, so why is he suddenly stunned?
"Ah, this..."
"Thank you very much, Master Liu!"
Xiao Yan is now completely dumbfounded.
Is this pretentious young man really that nice?
The game starts with a free copy of the Alchemist's Basic Handbook.
This unexpected move caught him completely off guard.
Although, this lousy notebook was of no use to him whatsoever.
However, the person kindly handed it to him in front of so many people.
He simply couldn't refuse.
With a pained expression and a bewildered look, he accepted the basic alchemist's manual given to him by Liu Xi.
Before he could catch his breath, Liu Xi spoke again.
"Oh, by the way, if I may ask, what level of cultivation technique does your son practice?"
Liu Xi stared intently at Xiao Yan, observing the expression on his face.
As expected, upon hearing the words "cultivation technique," Xiao Yan's expression immediately became wary and shifted.
Fortunately, Xiao Zhan thought he knew his good son very well, and took the initiative to answer:
"To be honest, Master Liu Xi, the technique Yan'er is cultivating is a high-level, yellow-rank fire-attribute technique treasured by my Xiao family, called Refining Fire!"
"call----"
Xiao Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they weren't exposed.
"What?! A Yellow-rank cultivation technique?!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xi frowned deeply.
"No! No!"
Liu Xi frowned and shook his head repeatedly.
His expression was conflicted and hesitant; he raised his hand several times, but then lowered it again.
Seeing his actions, the onlookers were all surprised and confused.
Even Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er, and Yao Chen, who was secretly watching, couldn't figure out what Liu Xi was up to.
"Hey~~"
Finally, after a fierce struggle, Liu Xi let out a long sigh.
His gaze swept over Xiao Yan, then over Xiao Zhan, and then over the many members of the Xiao family behind Xiao Zhan.
In the end, a resolute look flashed across his handsome face.
"How about this!"
"Clan Chief Xiao, this is the first time I, Liu Xi, have encountered someone with such outstanding talent and ability as your son!"
"Although I am powerless to guide your son, I cannot bear to see such a talented and gifted child go to waste!"
"Besides needing extremely high soul talent, the fire-attribute cultivation technique a pharmacist practices is also a crucial element!"
"The higher the level of the fire attribute technique that an alchemist cultivates at the beginning, the greater their future achievements will be!"
"Your son's exceptional talent in alchemy should not be wasted!"
"I, Liu Xi, will forge this good karmic connection today. This scroll of low-level Xuan-rank fire-attribute cultivation technique is the cultivation technique that my master taught me back then."
Today, I, Liu Xi, will pass on this technique to your son, hoping that one day, with the help of this technique, he will be able to go further!
It wasn't in vain that I went through such a fierce internal struggle today!
As he spoke, he resolutely handed over the low-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique he had cultivated, the Xuanhuo Technique, to Xiao Yan.
"this..."
"Master Liu Xi!"
"Master Liu Xi, you mustn't!"
"Master Liu, your magnanimity puts us to shame!"
"Master Liu Xi, you... sigh..."
"Master Liu Xi... is truly a role model for us cultivators!"
"..."
The expressions of the people around them changed drastically.
Looking at the vigorous figure standing tall in the arena, one's gaze involuntarily shifted from initial flattery and admiration to shock and horror.
Finally, it all turned into deep respect!
Tell me, who would willingly give away all their knowledge and skills to a complete stranger simply because they believe you have the talent for alchemy?
Even a master and disciple with a direct lineage probably couldn't have done that at the beginning!
But Liu Xi did it!
Such magnanimity!
Such a magnanimous heart!
This made all those who looked down on willow mats feel ashamed and remorseful!
"Master Liu, your magnanimity and generosity are beyond our reach!"
An elderly man who had lived in Wutan City for decades was moved to tears upon witnessing Liu Xi's actions.
Think of them, they spent their whole lives competing, yet they were extremely stingy with their own special skills.
Ultimately, you can't take anything with you when you're born, and you can't take anything with you when you die.
It only tormented future generations.
Now, the willow mat has awakened those who were dreaming!
Xiao Yan's eyes widened instantly.
Unexpected!
I never expected this!
This pretentious young man—no, this Master Liu Xi—possesses such a vast and magnanimous spirit.
It was all because he said he had the talent to refine medicine that he was willing to give away all his life's learning, a low-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique!
Such magnificent spirit, such a powerful and majestic wind!
This made Xiao Yan, who had always looked down on Liu Xi, feel an unparalleled sense of guilt.
"I'm so damn stupid!"
"Master Liu, with such magnanimity, how could I have..."
well!
Xiao Yan was completely convinced!
He's not as good as Liu Xi!
Despite living in the mundane world, he possesses a heart that desires to help all living beings!
Master Liu Xi!
He truly deserves the title of master!
"this..."
Inside Xiao Yan's ring, Yao Chen's soul shone brightly.
Liu Xi is truly a man of unparalleled talent!
Such magnanimity and breadth of mind rekindled the light of humanity in Yao Chen, who had long been disillusioned with the world and its people!
"If only...if only I had met you sooner!"
At that moment, Yao Chen couldn't help but feel a deep sense of regret.
I wish we had met sooner!
If he had met her earlier, Yao Chen would never have missed such a wonderful and perfect disciple as Liu Xi.
What a pity, what a pity...
"This Master liu xi..."
"What a spirited person!"
"Even within Canaan Academy, no, even across the entire Dou Qi Continent, there are probably very few people with the magnanimity and broad-mindedness of alchemist Liu Xi!"
Behind Xiao Zhan, Xiao Yu, Xiao Mei, Xiao Xun'er, Xiao Ning, and others also stared intently at the alchemist Liu Xi, who stood tall and imposing in the center of the arena, their eyes gleaming with admiration...
