--- Chapter 162 ---

Everyone was baffled by what they just witnessed.

"He has two Heavenly Flames... How is that even possible?"

"Having one Heavenly Flame can put someone at the top of the world already. Refining one can be considered a lucky encounter, but two? It is madness."

On the other hand, the Patriarch and elders of the Yao Clan in the meeting room also felt complicated.

Baek Ain possessed two Heavenly Flames. And they gave him another one, the Turtle Spiritual Earth Flame.

If they count his bizarre fire(Gnome), Baek Ain should have four Heavenly Flames!

'That's why he tried to reject it...' Yao Dan put on a wry smile. He felt like a fool now.

However, this is also good.

The relationship between the Yao Clan and Baek Ain will become stronger, maybe inseparable.

Thinking about it, Yao Dan laughed happily inside, not knowing his entire clan and himself were inside Baek Ain's palm.

Yao Ling'er gazed at Baek Ain with endless respect. She knew Baek Ain had more than one Heavenly Flame, but it didn't bother her. In her eyes, no one is more mighty than her teacher. Her blind faith is so strong that she might become Yande-! Well, scratch that for now.

"Rank 19, Green Lotus Core Flame."

"And Rank 15, Sea Heart Flame."

"How wonderful."

Huo Zhi's eyes lit up because it seemed she had made the correct choice to become Baek Ain's disciple. Wait, he hasn't accepted her yet!

'Three days... I have to become his disciple in three days!' Huo Zhi vowed in her heart.

Gu Xun'er felt the power of the Teal-Colored Flame that Baek Ain conjured with two Heavenly Flames. She frowned because her Heavenly Flame felt agitated when sensing the presence of the Teal-Colored Flame.

No, something was weird about the Teal-Colored Flame.

The Golden Sky Burning Flame inside Gu Xun'er felt nervous! It has never happened before.

'Just what's his secret?' Gu Xun'er was puzzled and attracted by Baek Ain's mysteriousness.

Yao Dan cleared his throat and said, "Well, Brother Lin has shown his ability. There shouldn't be any problem regarding this matter, right?"

"In three days... I hope the Gu Clan and Yan Clan's Patriarchs will send the ingredients. The amount they sent will correspond to the amount of share each clan gets."

"Yan Clan wants 30% of the share! Give me the list, and We'll send the ingredients and materials tomorrow." Huo Zhi decisively said, causing her companions to nod.

Leaning forward on the table, Huo Zhi gave Baek Ain a warm gaze and added, "If the concoction is successful, the Yan Clan will also reward Grandmaster Lin with the position of Guest Elder alongside a good portion of land in our territory."

'Aren't you too hasty?' Huo Xuan alerted her with thoughts transmission.

'Xuan, aren't you too blind? Have you ever seen someone with such talents in the last ten thousand years?' Huo Zhi retorted, waiting for Yao Clan's reply.

"..." Huo Xuan.

Yao Dan smiled and replied, "Thirty is too much."

"Hmm, what do you mean Yao Clan's Patriarch?" Huo Zhi was alarmed.

Yao Dan shrugged and added, "Even my Yao Clan would only take 25% of the result."

"I suggest the same for Gu Clan and Yan Clan. 25% of the share, that's it."

"Can't it be a little higher, like 27%?" Gu Xun'er suddenly opened her mouth and negotiated. Even though Gu Xun'er is dissatisfied with her clan, she also wants the best for it.

"Truthfully, the remaining share will get given to Brother Lin." Yao Dan shook his head while rejecting Gu Xun'er.

Gu Xun'er was stunned as she glanced at Baek Ain, "Does Grandmaster Lin's Clan perhaps possess Dou Di's Bloodline, too?"

Baek Ain placed the teacup on the table and nodded, "Indeed."

"My ancestor was once a powerful figure, but he met his demise..."

"Fortunately, he left behind an inheritance for his inheritor."

Baek Ain technically didn't lie as Fan Gu was powerful because he was from the Great Thousand World and left behind a legacy called the Sage Kingdom.

Everyone's expression becomes solemn upon digesting his answer. It was quite a shock for them because there are only Eight Ancient Clans in the Dou Qi Continent.

Baek Ain smiled and waved casually, "Don't be too rigid. I won't do anything harmful unless you guys provoke me first."

"I advocated the world's peace... I only want to step into the highest realm possible in Alchemy." He continued, lying as effortlessly as he breathed.

"How virtuous..." Gu Xun'er commented, to which Baek Ain responded with an innocent laugh.

Baek Ain stared at her and returned, "It's childish in this cruel world."

"But... Hey, everyone could dream."

"Everyone could dream." Gu Xun'er entered a trance for a few seconds before nodding in agreement. "That's true."

Baek Ain stood up and cupped his hand at everyone, "Then, let's see each other in three days."

Leaving the meeting room with Yao Ling'er, Baek Ain's skills and actions still left a deep yet favorable impression.

Yao Dan shook his head helplessly.

"Well, I'll give the list of ingredients and materials we didn't have in our storage." He said, pushing two papers at Huo Zhi and Gu Xun'er.

"You two can decide how to split it, right?"

"En." Huo Zhi and Gu Xun'er nodded.

...

The next day.

Huo Zhi visited the mountain Yao Ling'er owned again and made a soft approach to Baek Ain, hoping he could accept her to become his disciple.

However, she didn't wear her veil this time, revealing her beautiful face to Baek Ain.

Baek Ain talked with Huo Zhi while instructing Yao Ling'er in Alchemy.

Their relationship deepened, but it was higher than an acquaintance and lower than a friend's as they could gauge each other's personality.

Huo Zhi is straightforward, bold, and courageous. Her passion was to uncover the secret of Heavenly Flames.

As for Huo Zhi herself, she could get to know the person named Lin Feng more. And to be fair, what Baek Ain has said so far was half-true and half-lies.

When Baek Ain was about to send Huo Zhi off, Qing Lin suddenly appeared and pouted, "Just accept her already."

"Look how eager she is!"

Huo Zhi blushed, trying to wear her veil to cover it up. However, the wind is too strong this evening.

Qing Lin didn't wait for Baek Ain and continued rambling, "I'm bored and need someone to talk to! You are busy teaching Ling'er. At least accept more disciples so I can have friends!"

Her excuse is so perfect that no one gets suspicious of her acting.

Yes, this was acting.

"Dear, our Lin Clan is declining..." She added while empathizing, "Lin Clan." in her line. "Although accepting pupils wasn't a formal way to become a family member, it's still better than what we had to endure."

Baek Ain threw a thumbs-up to Qing Lin internally and sighed, "This... Aih, very well."

"Huo Zhi, are you willing to become this disciple?"

Huo Zhi's eyelashes and lips trembled.

She immediately kowtowed willingly and said, "This disciple greets the Teacher!"

"This disciple greets the Teacher's wife." She also kowtowed to Qing Lin, feeling overwhelmingly thankful. From what the Teacher's Wife said, it seemed their Clan situation wasn't so good.

Huo Zhi's eyes burned in determination as she vowed to help them revive the Lin Clan.

If Baek Ain and Qing Lin knew what Huo Zhi was thinking, they would probably laugh in disbelief.

Not too far away, Gu Xun'er watched this scene with indescribable emotion on her face.

She fidgeted and mumbled to herself, "Teacher, Disciple..."

"Should I also..."
