Chapter 2732 — Who Is My Master?

Otherwise, there would be no reason to cultivate Kang Jingming so assiduously. But what did they want the Marrow-Cleansing Bone-Transforming Pill for? Wei Zhao could not figure it out, and decided to ask Instructor Bai about it when he had the chance.

And thinking it through, everything suddenly made sense. The Kang family had thrown in their lot with the You family and the Xuan Dan Sect. The experts who had kidnapped Guan Xin were either from the hidden You family or from the Xuan Dan Sect. And Kang Jinglong, now that he reckoned he had grown formidable, was ostensibly speaking to Han Jingyi—but in truth he was showing off to Wei Zhao himself!

Seeing that Wei Zhao gave no response, Kang Jinglong was instantly somewhat disappointed, and he began to feel uncertain. Was Wei Zhao afraid of the Xuan Dan Sect or not? Why was there not the slightest reaction? It was true that Wei Zhao was formidable, true that he could kill early-stage Heaven-rank experts in a single strike—but the Xuan Dan Sect was a colossal entity. How could he not be afraid?

"Well? Han Jingyi, do you want to receive his guidance?" You Panhu did not much care about Wei Zhao's reaction. All he wanted was Han Jingyi's notes on the insights of an alchemist. As for provoking Wei Zhao, he had already lost most of his interest in that. Since the hidden You family could not afford to provoke him, then it was best not to provoke him at all.

"The Eighth Elder of the Xuan Dan Sect? Compared with my master, he is far too weak. Not interested." Han Jingyi spoke with a look of complete lack of interest.

"Your master? Who is your master?" You Panhu's eyes lit up, and his heart stirred. He asked Han Jingyi eagerly—he had always wanted to pry out the identity of Han Jingyi's teacher. Otherwise, how could Han Jingyi possibly know how to refine pills?

"My master? You do not know?" Han Jingyi asked in return.

"Who exactly is it? Can you tell me?" You Panhu asked eagerly.

"Fine, since you are so sincere about it, I will tell you." Han Jingyi said, "Actually, Jingjing's master is the greatest alchemy sage of the age, Zhang Lifeng…"

"What?! You really received Zhang Lifeng's inheritance?" You Panhu was startled.

"Jingjing has not finished yet. Do you want to hear it or not? If not, then forget it." Han Jingyi was quite displeased at being interrupted by You Panhu.

"Then… then go on, you tell it…" You Panhu said.

"My master is the disciple of the alchemy sage Zhang Lifeng, the most formidable alchemist in the world today—the Mysterious Heaven Ancestor!" Han Jingyi declared.

"…" You Panhu was instantly rendered utterly speechless. "You mean Instructor Bai?"

"So you already knew?" Han Jingyi glared at You Panhu unhappily. "Are you playing Jingjing for a fool? If there is nothing else, then leave. Jingjing needs to study!"

"This… all right then!" However little You Panhu knew of the world's heights, he could not possibly claim that Kang Jingming was more formidable than Instructor Bai. Even with every meridian in Instructor Bai's body ruined, he was still more formidable than Kang Jingming.

Kang Jinglong was rather gloomy as well. He had originally meant to intimidate Wei Zhao, to give him a shock—but now it seemed that Wei Zhao was indifferent to the matter, not taking it to heart at all.

Wang Xinyan, sitting in front, had also heard Kang Jinglong's words. The news that Kang Jingming had become a Heaven-rank expert and the Eighth Elder of the Xuan Dan Sect struck her chest like a heavy hammer, leaving her unable to breathe!

How could Kang Jingming be so fortunate? He had actually surpassed Wei Zhao and become a Heaven-rank expert? And his status in the Xuan Dan Sect was so high? All of it left Wang Xinyan feeling as though the world were spinning around her!

Just moments ago, hope had kindled in her heart—but now it seemed that Wei Zhao had once again fallen behind his rival?

Wang Xinyan stole a glance at Wei Zhao, wanting to speak but holding back.

"Do not be afraid. It is nothing. The Heaven-rank strength of an alchemist has practically no combat power at all." Wei Zhao saw Wang Xinyan's worry and consoled her, "Let us eat."

"Mm…" Wang Xinyan was not reassured by this. Though what Wei Zhao said made sense, she also knew what a Yellow-rank third-grade alchemist meant—how exceedingly rare such a person was!

Wei Zhao had tried again and again to make Han Jingyi a Yellow-rank third-grade alchemist and had never succeeded, yet Kang Jingming had become one. And Kang Jingming's standing in the Xuan Dan Sect could well be imagined. So although Kang Jingming's own strength was unremarkable, behind him stood the Xuan Dan Sect!

So Wang Xinyan could not bring herself to be happy no matter what. Still, to keep Wei Zhao from worrying, she picked up her boxed meal and began to eat…

The most puzzled of all were Kang Jinglong and You Panhu. After the two of them returned to their seats, Kang Jinglong said with some displeasure, "Why did Wei Zhao seem to have no reaction to any of it?"

"Brother Kang, I figure there are three possibilities!" You Panhu thought for a moment and said, "First, Wei Zhao has other channels of information and already knew the news long ago, so he showed no shock. Second, Wei Zhao simply does not care about the matter at all. The Eighth Elder is indeed a Heaven-rank expert and a third-grade alchemist, but with Wei Zhao's strength, killing him in a single strike should not be difficult! Third, Wei Zhao is feigning composure—but in my view, that possibility is very small!"

"Hmm… not bad. What you say makes sense. Although my brother is a Heaven-rank expert, Wei Zhao can kill Heaven-rank experts in a single strike, and an alchemist's strength is even weaker. That should be the fundamental reason Wei Zhao does not care!" Kang Jinglong, having heard You Panhu out, had come to understand a few things, and he thought of Wei Zhao's strength. "Then what should we do?"

But both of them had guessed wrong. Wei Zhao had in fact chosen what seemed to them the least likely of the three—the third possibility.

"But it is no matter. At least Wei Zhao does not dare do anything to you now. The Eighth Elder may not be as formidable as Wei Zhao, but he represents the Xuan Dan Sect, and the Xuan Dan Sect has other experts as well. Do whatever you need to do. Did you notice that after we went over and said all those things just now, although Wei Zhao did not react, he did not drive us away either?" You Panhu analyzed.

"That is true." Kang Jinglong felt a little better.

That afternoon, during the break after Instructor Bai's class, Wei Zhao sought him out.

"Little Yi, why are you in such a hurry? About that special situation with Wang Xinyan you mentioned—I have not yet gone to look through the materials. You will have to wait a while longer." Instructor Bai assumed Wei Zhao had come to ask about Wang Xinyan, so he shrugged and spoke with some helplessness.

"Instructor Bai, you misunderstand. I came to ask you about something else." Wei Zhao waved his hand, then gestured toward an empty spot nearby. "Shall we talk over there?"

"Oh, all right!" Instructor Bai nodded, though he was somewhat puzzled as to what Wei Zhao wanted to ask him.

"Instructor Bai, it is like this—have you ever heard of the Marrow-Cleansing Bone-Transforming Pill?" Wei Zhao asked.
