Chapter 150: My Dao Path Is About to Be Cut Off

"Even with the practice of the Yi Wood Evergreen Art, and having broken through the Qi Refining Third Layer in childhood, only a small portion of people can comprehensively enhance their five senses regarding plants upon breakthrough."

"That is to say, someone comprehensively enhanced their visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, and tactile senses specifically regarding plants when breaking through the Qi Refining Third Layer." A middle-aged cultivator who looked like a manager walked in cheerfully.

Behind him followed a string of cultivators who also looked like managers.

"Uncle Pan, I didn't expect you to come personally." Liu Shi greeted him with pleasant surprise.

"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known such a huge surprise was waiting right before my eyes." The cultivator called Uncle Pan by Liu Shi strode forward.

Then he squatted down, looking seriously at Su Wuji and Su Jin. The more he looked, the more he felt these two children had a fate with him.

"Did you two both enhance your plant-related five senses when breaking through the Qi Refining Third Layer?"

Hearing the question and seeing Liu Shi's encouraging gaze, Su Wuji and Su Jin nodded honestly in unison.

The middle-aged cultivator carefully examined the two children's appearances again, calculated with his fingers, and found both children had deep fortune; they were too suitable for him, so he immediately added, "How about you two take me as your master, and I will teach you alchemy?"

Su Wuji and Su Jin were both dumbfounded.

Isn't taking a master supposed to wait until entering the sect?

Liu Shi pouted speechlessly.

"Uncle Pan, you are just teasing the children again. Before they enter the sect, they cannot formally take a master; this is a hard rule of the sect." Liu Shi said with a coquettish tone.

What on earth are you doing, old sir?

Hearing Liu Shi Pingping's words, the middle-aged cultivator immediately cried out "Aiyo," saying painfully, "This wicked rule of the sect is hindering my great matter of taking disciples."

"Master Pan, actually you don't need to wait long; in a few more years, their cohort will go to the sect." The middle-aged cultivator following closely behind the cultivator with the surname Pan hurriedly advised.

"That goes without saying; the key is if I don't watch them closely, once they enter the sect, I won't be able to snatch them." Old Pan said bluntly.

Taking disciples must be done early; otherwise, the longer you delay, the less chance there is!

Liu Shi smiled with her lips pressed together.

"Originally, I should have returned to the sect next month." He had been seconded to help rebuild this large medicine workshop on Mount Woniu. Because this was an Xiancheng project, it belonged to no family but to the sect. He had been seconded here for a year and a half.

Now the entire medicine workshop was almost on the right track, and he, the old sir, was about to leave, yet unexpectedly he discovered two excellent alchemy prospects. How could he bear to leave?

Enhancing plant-related five senses during childhood was not something that could be summed up in a simple sentence.

This special talent required gradual and continuous development. Moreover, when this talent was developed to the later stages, it could play a huge role in refining high-grade pills.

"Little Liu, how about you talk to the old principal of the clan school? I'll go and be a specially appointed alchemy instructor for you?" Old Pan pondered that if this didn't work, he had to stay first, wait until he tricked the disciples into his hands, and then leave.

"That works too; how about I help you ask?"

"Hurry and ask for me. Oh, Chang Tai, you hurry and re-test those three bags of medicine powder, then track down the person responsible. This medicine workshop just opened, and already such disgusting things as inferior materials passing as good and finished medicines mixed with insect eggs have occurred. You must hurry and solve this matter immediately."

"If you can't solve it, I will get Xu Chengzhu to come personally to solve it for me."

"I'll go right now." Chang Tai, who was the middle-aged cultivator always following behind Old Pan, hurriedly took a few people and left in a rush.

They left, but there were still over ten people following behind Old Pan.

Liu Shi sent a Long-Distance Message Talisman for a while, then said to Old Pan in surprise, "Uncle Pan, our principal is coming immediately. As soon as he heard you wanted to stay, he came over joyfully."

Hmph!

Old Pan also snorted arrogantly through his nose.

With his current status in the sect, who wouldn't be willing to take him in?!

Hmph, hmph, hmph!

"Do you two now know how amazing your master is?" He took the opportunity to show off a bit, so that his two future little disciples would have a better impression of him.

Su Jin and Su Wuji exchanged a glance; one thought: I plan to inherit my mother's legacy and become a brewer specializing in brewing spiritual wine and spiritual dew. The other pondered: How should I tactfully say that I don't like refining pills at all and I prefer drawing talismans?

Just as both of them were making plans in their hearts, Su Xiao of the Su Clan School arrived.

"Pan Jueshi!" The newcomer shouted loudly as soon as he entered.

Hearing this familiar voice, Old Pan suddenly turned around. "Su Tianlei! You are actually still alive? I thought you had died long ago."

"Pah! If you died, I wouldn't even die." Su Xiao rolled his eyes and complained in a bad mood.

The two walked close and couldn't help but embrace each other.

Their eyes were a bit wet.

"Back then, when I was seriously injured and pulled out from the Black Dragon Bay, I didn't dare to ask who else was still alive," Pan Jueshi said.

"That battle was fought too miserably; I survived but was crippled. Decades have passed, and I have only just barely recovered. In the future, I probably have one or two chances to assault the Nascent Soul Realm. Alas, I really can't do it anymore; I'm old, not like the young people. My Dao path is about to be cut off."

"Nonsense! Don't I know you? You are the type who plans before acting; even if you are given only one chance to assault the Nascent Soul, you will succeed in breaking through." Old Pan glared and punched him hard twice. "I've been here for over a year; why didn't you come to find me?"

"I'm so busy my feet hit the back of my head; where would I have time to care who comes to the sect every day?"

Two old comrades who hadn't seen each other for several decades were chatting properly.

"Alright, Su Jin and Su Wuji, go continue your missions."

"Wait, those are my little disciples!"

"They won't run away, they won't run away. Come, let's find a place to chat properly." Just like that, Pan Jueshi was dragged away.

Before leaving, the principal blinked his eyes at Su Jin, Su Wuji, and Liu Shi.

As soon as they left, those who had been following Pan Jueshi also left.

"The principal had a scheme to drag that senior Pan away," Su Jin said.

"Indeed, the most sinister people in this world are old men!" Su Wuji sighed.

Liu Shi glared at him.

"You two hurry and go pack the medicine powder together."

What could Su Jin and Su Wuji do?

They could only obediently return to their positions and transform back into packing tools.

"Liu Shi, a yellow powder has been mixed into the medicine powder here." Qi Yi suddenly raised her hand to report.

"Liu Shi, I also found a bag here; a yellow powder has been mixed into it as well." Su Lan raised her hand to report at this moment.

The adults at the other long tables, whether newcomers or veterans, stood dazed.

What is going on today? One mishap after another in the Medicine Hall!

Some even secretly fumed: these children's eyes are far too sharp.

Whether it was the scent of rot, insect eggs, or discolored powder, they had all been picked out by them.
