Chapter 302: Ranked as a True Disciple

Only then did he see that in the pond, Little White was playing and frolicking in the water with two semi-transparent crocodiles.

These two crocodiles were identical in form to Little White, but each body was clearly composed of pond water, and the color was slightly pale green. However, every move was vivid and lifelike, looking exactly like real crocodiles.

"Hua la la."

Little White climbed out of the pond, and the two semi-transparent crocodiles also followed out. As soon as they left the pond water, they turned into two pools of clean water upon hearing the sound.

"The power of water control can actually reach this degree. This talent should logically be somewhat similar to the Point-Gold Art. One controls water, and the other can control metal. But the Point-Gold Art absolutely cannot reach this degree in control. And how come I feel like your intelligence seems a bit higher than before?" Wang Yu bent down, raised his hand and touched the white crocodile's chin a few times, looking at its appearance of comfortably narrowing its eyes, and muttered with some doubt.

The previous examination by the old man in the gray shirt did not find much. Except for feeling that Little White's water-control power was very brilliant, and it could even reach the degree of water-control shaping, nothing more was measured.

It seems that Little White's mutation this time only awakened the water-control talent.

In the end, this Uncle-Master Li left in a hurry with a small bottle of Little White's essence blood and a scale, returning to his cave dwelling to do deeper-level research.

Little White opened its pink eyes, stuck out its tongue and licked the back of Wang Yu's hand. Then, with a flip, it rushed into the pond again, frolicking in the pond water very comfortably.

"Regardless, Little White survived the second mutation and seems to have no big problems. This is always a good thing." Wang Yu stood up again, narrowed his eyes and muttered.

Following this, he returned to the cave dwelling, released Big Green again, let it accompany Little White to continue frolicking, and he himself returned to the secret chamber, took out a pale green Green Water Pill, threw it directly into his mouth, and began to sit cross-legged and refine it.

Early the next morning.

Wang Yu followed a guidance talisman, stepped on a white cloud, and flew to a quiet cliff in the upper part of Mount Tianzhu.

On the smooth and steep cliff, there was actually a huge black iron door.

Wang Yu was pondering whether to try and send a communication talisman as well, when the guidance talisman flashed and went straight into the iron door, disappearing without a trace.

Seeing this, Wang Yu waited with peace of mind instead.

Sure enough, after only a moment, the black iron door opened on its own silently. Then, a young man in brocade clothes who looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old flew out from inside.

"Is the person coming Wang Li Shixiong? I am here to guide Li Li Shixiong into the residence. Uncle is already waiting for Li Li Shixiong inside." The young man cupped his fists to Wang Yu and said.

"Are you a relative of Uncle-Master Fan?" Wang Yu asked in surprise.

"Yes, I am Fan Yin, an inner disciple of the White Tiger Mountain lineage. Fan Tian is precisely my uncle." The young man in brocade clothes said so.

"Then I will trouble Junior Brother Fan." After Wang Yu's mind turned a few times, he also cupped his fists and replied.

"Easy, easy. I have also heard of Wang Li Shixiong's great name for a long time." The young man in brocade clothes said with a full face of smiles, and then turned to guide Wang Yu into the cave dwelling.

Somewhat beyond Wang Yu's expectation, there was another world behind the black iron door.

Walking along the way, the small path was winding and tortuous. Not only did it pass through six or seven medicine gardens each covering an acre, but it even passed through a micro-waterfall drawn from who knows where.

Wang Yu silently took a light breath, feeling his spirit slightly refreshed, and the air was exceptionally fresh.

This Uncle-Master Fan's cave dwelling not only covered a huge area, but the spiritual energy was also clearly a notch better than Wang Yu's cave dwelling. Moreover, one could vaguely feel magic power fluctuations at both the gate and the medicine garden, which showed that this Li Li Shixiong Fan had arranged quite a few restrictions in his own cave dwelling.

Worthy of being the cave dwelling of a second-rank alchemist!

Wang Yu's expression was as usual, but he was greatly envious in his heart.

After turning past a lush green flower garden filled with various flowers, the young man in brocade clothes guided Wang Yu into a small hall.

In the main seat of the small hall, Fan Tian was holding a pale white pill, observing with his eyes narrowed. But as soon as he saw Wang Yu and the other enter, he casually put the pill into his sleeve.

"Uncle, Wang Li Shixiong has come to visit."

The young man in brocade clothes hurriedly took a step forward and said respectfully.

"I know. You go down first. Nephew Wang, it seems you truly intend to learn alchemy from me." Fan Tian waved his hand, signaling the young man in brocade clothes to retreat, and then said to Wang Yu with an ambiguous smile.

Upon hearing Fan Tian's words, the young man in brocade clothes' expression changed slightly, but he did not say anything. After bowing slightly, he exited the small hall.

"Uncle-Master Fan, this is that top-grade Water Cloud Pill."

Wang Yu did not say much, just took out a white medicine bottle from his bosom and handed it to Fan Tian with both hands.

Because the original purple medicine bottle involved soul silver material, it was replaced by him with an ordinary medicine bottle.

"Good. Since you have truly decided, Fan formally agrees to this trade."

From today on, I will teach you basic alchemy. If you can enter the gate within three years, I can take you as a formal apprentice. But if you still cannot refine any entry-rank pill after three years, you don't need to learn from me anymore," Fan Tian took the medicine bottle, opened the lid and took a look, a look of joy appearing on his face, but he said to Wang Yu indifferently.

"Three years?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yu was stunned for a moment.

"The evaluation standard for an alchemist is different from that of an artifact refiner. One must be able to master the refining of more than three types of entry-rank pills to be considered a first-rank alchemist. If you learn alchemy from me for three years and cannot refine even one entry-rank pill, that means you truly have no talent in this area. After all, I haven't even raised any conditions on the success rate and pill quality," Fan Tian said indifferently.

"Uncle-Master Fan's words make sense. Then it is settled." After Wang Yu thought about it, he agreed without hesitation.

"Very good. You take this jade slip containing 'Brief Discussion on Alchemy' and 'Initial Outline of Alchemy' back and ponder it well. When you feel you have completely understood it, come to me again.

Besides, I will let Fan Yin guide you to visit the alchemy room. After you become a true disciple later, build one in your own cave dwelling," Fan Tian nodded. After putting away the medicine bottle in his hand, he took out a pale yellow jade slip from his sleeve, threw it over directly, and summoned the young man in brocade clothes outside the door with a slight movement of his mouth.

"Then this disciple will first visit Uncle-Master's alchemy room." Wang Yu took the jade slip, revealed a smile, bowed to Fan Tian, and followed the young man in brocade clothes to leave here.

After Wang Yu and the other left, Fan Tian took out the medicine bottle from his bosom again with excitement, and additionally took out a white jade plate, poured the top-grade pill into it, and began to study it impatiently.

Not long after, Wang Yu flew out from the cave dwelling on the cliff and headed straight for his residence.

A few days later, the General Affairs Hall announced the news that Wang Yu was formally ranked as a Xuanwu true disciple.

Once this news came out, it caused a sensation throughout the sect and even attracted special attention from several other true disciples.

Half a month later, Wang Yu moved into a true disciple cave dwelling that had become vacant in the upper part of Mount Tianzhu. He also asked the General Affairs Hall to build a new alchemy room, and additionally hired an array apprentice to help set up a Small Spirit Gathering Array in the cultivation room. Following that, he rarely appeared in front of people.

Year after year passed!

As batches of new disciples entered the sect, the legend of Wang Yu, who was ranked as a true disciple while only at the late stage of Qi Refinement, was gradually rarely mentioned in the Four Symbols Sect. ===== CHAPTER 303 =====
