When Gongsun Xiaoxuan heard this, she was pleasantly surprised. "You agreed to help us?"

Shi Ling took a deep breath and said, "If you don't agree, then I'll take it. Why stay here?"

After Gongsun Xiaoxuan heard those words, she immediately stood up and walked up to Shi Ling, happily saying, "Thank you!"

After saying that, she pulled Shi Ling's hand and walked outside. Before closing the door, Gongsun Xiaoxuan closed it softly as if she was afraid to wake Gongsun Jie up from his sleep.

After that, Gongsun Xiaoxuan brought Shi Ling in a certain direction and said, "Then I'll wait for you to meet my father."

Hearing this, Shi Ling's eyes slightly opened. Gongsun Xiaoxuan's father, wasn't that Medicine Refinery Hall hall master, Gongsun Yun? He immediately said: "Isn't it just participating in a Medicine Refinery Hall competition between us juniors? Why did you have to alarm the Medicine Refinery Hall hall master? "

After Gongsun Xiaoxuan heard these words, she was silent for a moment, then said: "Because this round of Medicine Refinery Assemble is related to the ownership of Medicine Refinery Hall thirty years from now!"

Hearing that, Shi Ling's pupils suddenly shrank, and Gongsun Xiaoxuan immediately continued: "It looks like you've heard of our Medicine Refinery Hall's rules before, right? All the disciples within the Medicine Refinery Hall will need to participate in the Medicine Refinery Assemble which is held once every five years. Those who can become first place can receive the guidance of a grandmaster alchemist and even pass on a second rank alchemist's formula! "

Gongsun Xiaoxuan then said. "But what you don't know is that within our Medicine Refinery Hall, there is another rule: As long as the same person can consecutively obtain first place in three Medicine Refinery Assemble, then he can become the young master of Medicine Refinery Hall, hall master!"

As a person with Spirit Sword Sect, Shi Ling obviously knew what the position of Young hall master represented was similar to that of the candidate for Spirit Sword Sect, sect master. However, while Spirit Sword Sect's sect master was a contestant, Medicine Refinery Hall's contestant was a contestant, and Medicine Refinery Hall's contestant was only a single contestant, which meant that, as long as Young hall master became the Medicine Refinery Hall's contestant, he could also become the next hall master of Medicine Refinery Hall.

When Shi Ling thought about this, he realized the severity of the matter, and heard Gongsun Xiaoxuan say: "And among the people participating in the Alchemist Grand Competition this time, there is one person who has already won first place in Medicine Refinery Assemble two consecutive times! That person is our Medicine Refinery Hall Vice, hall master's son, Yuan Hao! "

When Shi Ling heard the name Yuan Hao, he suddenly recalled the elegant and beautiful man he had seen in the Purifying Water Hall of the Extreme Earth Academy. He immediately whispered, "It's him?"

Gongsun Xiaoxuan turned her head to look at Shi Ling and said, "You've met him before?"

Shi Ling nodded and said, "We met once before at the Extreme Earth Academy. I didn't expect him to be such a powerful person!"

When Gongsun Xiaoxuan heard Shi Ling say that Yuan Hao was formidable, she disdainfully smiled and said, "I only know how to use underhanded methods."

Shi Ling didn't say anything at this point, and Gongsun Xiaoxuan continued: "Of the nine supervisors that are currently within our Medicine Refinery Hall, four of them are already on Yuan Hao's side, and my father still has five supervisors to support him, but if he wins this time's Medicine Refinery Assemble, then he will become the champion of Medicine Refinery Assemble for the third time in a row, and he will be able to sit on the position of Shao hall master properly and legitimately. At that time, the five supervisors that supported my father will most likely take the same path towards them, and after thirty years, when my father retires, Yuan Hao will become the first generation's new Medicine Refinery Hall!"

After Shi Ling heard this, he continued, "So that's why you came to me to help you? The purpose is to break Yuan Hao's record of being Medicine Refinery Assemble's number one for two consecutive years, and prevent him from becoming the Medicine Refinery Hall's Young Master, hall master? "

Gongsun Xiaoxuan nodded, and said: "Back then when my father came to the Spirit Sword Sect and took over the Medicine Refinery Hall, his Medicine Refinery Hall wasn't as flourishing as it is now, and could even be called depressing. But after father's hard work over these years, it was finally able to gradually strengthen his Medicine Refinery Hall and form his current scale, so much so that he could be said to be on par with other halls."

Gongsun Xiaoxuan paused for a moment before continuing, "Therefore, I don't want the hard work that my father has spent all these years to be given to someone else."

What else could Shi Ling say after hearing this? He could only say, "I will do my best!"

Gongsun Xiaoxuan nodded slightly in response. Very soon, Gongsun Xiaoxuan brought Shi Ling into a garden at the back.

Even though it was called a garden, it was more accurate to call it a medicinal field. The herbs here had all kinds of colorful flowers, making them particularly dazzling.

Shi Ling's gaze couldn't help but scan the surroundings. Then, he saw a middle-aged man sitting in a pavilion, slowly sipping a cup of tea before putting it down again. There was a book on the table, and his eyes were staring at the words on the book, clearly reading it carefully.

When one got closer, they could see that this middle-aged man was wearing a long black and white robe. On his back was a large 'Medicinal' character, and on his other hand was a cigarette gun.

When Gongsun Xiaoxuan arrived in front of the middle-aged man, she stood still and said, "Father!"

When Shi Ling heard this, he was shocked. Why? Because the middle-aged man in front of him didn't have any mana fluctuations in Shi Ling's eyes at all, he was just like a mortal, and could even give off a feeling of being extremely weak. And such a person, was actually Medicine Refinery Hall, hall master?!

It was hard for Shi Ling to believe, but since Lili had already paid respects, he could only follow and pay his respects, "This one greets Medicine Refinery Hall hall master."

Gongsun Yun closed the book in front of him and stood up. He looked towards Shi Ling and Gongsun Xiaoxuan, who were standing outside the pavilion, and said calmly, "They're here."

Gongsun Xiaoxuan nodded and said, "Father, this is brother's close friend, Shi Ling."

Gongsun Yun looked at Shi Ling again. Shi Ling bowed and cupped his fist as he said, "I, Shi Ling, am here to meet Wu Tie, the drug refiner."

Gongsun Yun looked at Shi Ling's body, and then took out a small jade bottle from his Storage Ring, and threw it to Shi Ling. Gongsun Yun looked at Shi Ling, and then took out a small jade bottle from his Storage Ring, and threw it to Shi Ling.

Gongsun Yun shook off the dust in his pipe. At this time, Gongsun Xiaoxuan walked into the pavilion consciously and found some new tobacco to add into Gongsun Yun's pipe.

After that, Gongsun Yun said, "Use this jade bottle to collect the flame later, let's see how much you can collect!"

Shi Ling was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand what Gongsun Yun meant. He saw Gongsun Yun inhale a mouthful of smoke from the gun and then spit it out towards Shi Ling. But what made Shi Ling's pupils shrink was that Gongsun Yun actually breathed out flames instead of smoke.

Shi Ling spun around and retreated backwards. However, the fire seemed to have a soul. At this moment, it was actually targeting Shi Ling and running after him!
