Luo Ning pondered for a moment before thinking of another way to dispel her doubts, "Xiang Yun, you should have heard of the two professions of apothecary and beastmaster, right?"

"Yes, of course I've heard of it. Unfortunately, there seem to be very few alchemists and beast tamers in the northwest part of the Tianxuan Continent."

Of course, he could also send one of them to his big brother, Xiang Lei.

However, Xiang Yun had sent people to search for Storm Nation. The answer they got was that there were no alchemists within the country at all.

Even the apothecary who once roamed the eastern part of the continent had disappeared without a trace after forging a cauldron of pills for the emperor in the Dragon City.

From then on, Xiang Yun knew how rare and valuable alchemists were!

Luo Ning nodded her head. "That's only natural. Beast Master and alchemist are extremely rare occupations. Especially the latter is something the big sects try their best to rope in."

"Is it that exaggerated?" Xiang Yun looked dubiously at Luo Ning.

Luo Ning said with absolute certainty, "Of course. Do you know how the Palace of WarG.o.ds of the seven major sects get into the top seven sects?"

Naturally, Xiang Yun did not know this. He was waiting for Luo Ning's answer!

"These three elixirs will increase the strength of the Palace of WarG.o.ds by an entire three Ancestor levels! From then on, the Palace of WarG.o.ds will rise to the skies with a single step and become one of the top seven sects. "

"Among them, there were three powerful sects that joined hands to provoke us with a questioning att.i.tude."

"As a result, the three great elders of the Palace of WarG.o.ds divided into three paths and took the three first-rate sects from the foot of the mountain to the top. They tore down their ancestral halls and no one dared to question them anymore."

"I'll be good!"

Xiang Yun listened to Luo He's serene narration, his heart filled with shock. He already had a vague idea of the sect's strength.

The four great sects in the Silvermoon Mountain Range could barely make it into the ranks of the third-rate sects. Those sects were overseen by experts at the peak of the Mystic Cloud Realm.

What kind of powerful masters were guarding that first-rate sect? The Palace of WarG.o.ds actually destroyed three first-rate sects in one move. Then what kind of level are these three great elders at?

When they all looked at each other, and then looked at the alchemist who had used his own strength to concoct a batch of pills, the battle prowess of his sect would skyrocket and he would be able to squeeze himself into the ranks of the seven great sects.

"Gulp!"

Xiang Yun swallowed a mouthful of saliva and sincerely said, "This alchemist has made such a great contribution. The Palace of WarG.o.ds must have treated him very well."

Luo Ning sneered and said, "What do you mean it must be very good? Even those old fellows with bad tempers from the Palace of WarG.o.ds have to be like their ancestors and support this formidable alchemist."

With this person's skill in alchemy, as long as he was willing, the other six sects would be able to invite him in to be their ancestor's support.

"d.a.m.n it, it's so good to be an apothecary!"

Xiang Yun finally could not hold it in any longer and cursed out loud. He truly felt that his career as an alchemist had a bright future. But why were there so few alchemists in the continent?

Luo Ning could clearly see the doubt in Xiang Yun's eyes as she asked, "Do you think it's so easy to be an alchemist?"

"Is it hard?" Xiang Yun retorted.

"It's not very difficult, it's very difficult!" Luo Ning emphasized the word 'difficult'!

"If one wants to become an alchemist first, the requirement for the spirit source energy of a Cloud Warrior is extremely high!"

"Only someone with a strong spiritual source would have the potential to become a pill refiner, because refining pills requires a high level of spiritual force. Regardless of whether it's the control of the fire or the fusion of various herbs, one must use spiritual will to control them in minute detail!"

In the end, even if both conditions were met, the art of alchemy was vast and profound. Even great alchemists like the Grandmaster from the Palace of WarG.o.ds, who could refine divine pills, would only know some unorthodox techniques and swindle others.

A person with apothecary apt.i.tudes, without the guidance of a master, would be deceiving their children. Even if it was unpolished jade, it was still worthless in the end, disappearing from the world.

"This is too hars.h.!.+"

He didn't know if he was listening, but upon hearing Luo Ning's explanation, Xiang Yun was shocked. Only then did he understand why there were so few apothecaries in the continent. So it was actually this difficult to become an alchemist.

"Oh right, Luo Ning, then is my source spiritual energy strong? Do you have the potential to become an alchemist?"

Luo Ning looked at Xiang Yun with a strange expression before finally saying a single word.

"It's not bad!"

However, he didn't know that Luo Ning's words were actually from the bottom of her heart. Luo Ning had met a lot of alchemists, or at least a lot of alchemists supported by her family.

Amongst them, the three grandmaster level alchemists were on good terms with Luo Ning. Whenever Luo Ning visited them to collect pills, she would always chat with the three elders.

Other than boasting about their superior pill forging skills in front of Luo Ning, the three alchemists had also made great progress.

Luo Ning naturally knew the evil intentions of the three old men. They simply wanted to establish some sort of relations.h.i.+p so that their disciples could soar into the sky.

However, she had to admit that these youngsters' source spiritual force was indeed very strong, at least several times stronger than that of ordinary people!

However, last night, when Xiang Yun's mental strength had broken through the divine platform, Luo Ning had discovered to her horror that compared to the three old men who were proud disciples, in the northwest of the continent, the mental strength of this youth with a low cultivation base was actually much stronger than theirs!

At least, compared to the other light pill refiners, the young man who loved to mess around with his pill refining skills the most, and possessed the strongest source spirit energy.

Luo Ning naturally understood what this was. This basically meant that Xiang Yun's talent in the Dao of alchemy was several times greater than this person's, or perhaps even higher.

If those three old men saw Xiang Yun, they would likely immediately fight to take him in as their last disciple.

For Xiang Yun, the three old men would definitely fight until their heads bled. They would roll up their sleeves and fight!

However, at this moment, Luo Ning couldn't help but exclaim once again. Destiny makes a fool out of people; fate was simply toying with Xiang Yun.

Why did she give him such a good talent for pill refining? Yet, she was so stingy and only gave him a pitiful spiritual root.

Being able to cultivate to the Mystic Cloud realm with a talent like Xiang Yun was already not easy. Breaking through the Earth Cloud realm was even more difficult, so his pill refining talent was destined to be stuck because of his cultivation limit!

The reason why Luo Ning had only evaluated the art of alchemy as' not bad 'was because she was afraid that Xiang Yun would have too high an expectation of the art of alchemy. The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, which would damage one's mental state.

Luo Ning, on the other hand, spoke more, explaining to Xiang Yun the many wondrous uses of divine will. She said that Xiang Yun's spiritual force had just evolved into divine will. He would still need to meditate and other methods to strengthen it.

Currently, Xiang Yun's spiritual will could only help him investigate the surrounding auras and activity. However, as his spiritual will grew, it would have many other miraculous uses in the future.

When she heard these words, Luo Ning could clearly sense that Xiang Yun's expression had suddenly changed!

"What's the matter with you?"

Luo Ning puzzledly glanced at Xiang Yun. Seeing that he seemed to really be fine, she then continued narrating the story.

Roughly half an hour later, Luo Ning finally explained everything she knew about spiritual will to Xiang Yun.

At this moment, Xiang Yun once again took out the beast skin map from his storage ring. He looked at the location on the map, then looked at the Silver Moon Mountain Range and spoke to Luo Ning.

"In roughly three days, we will arrive at the Silvermoon Mountain Range. By then, what are your plans?"

"I promised that I would send you back. When you return, there will be someone to pick me up. You don't have to worry!" Luo Ning replied.

Xiang Yun nodded in understanding. After these past few days of interaction, even though Luo Ning had never told him about her family background, Xiang Yun was still clear about it.

Luo Ning's background was definitely not small, and the elders of her family most likely had formidable strength.

Without delay, the two decided to set off once more. This time, Xiang Yun did not place the map in his hand into his storage ring, but rather placed it into the bag on his back. Luo Ning did not notice this detail.
