"Han, Han'er, you, you, you, you... you've already reached the seventh layer of Body Refining Tier!" Ling Dong Xing stammered. If someone had told him in the past that one day he would be shocked speechless by someone in the seventh layer of Body Refining Tier, he'd definitely give the speaker a good, solid slap. But now, it was himself he wanted to give a good, solid slap–to make sure that the sight before him was real and he wasn't merely dreaming!

"Yes, so you do not have to worry anymore, Father," Ling Han smiled.

Ling Dong Xing's face twitched, but after a while, he could not stop himself from laughing long and loud. It was as if all the worries that had troubled his mind these few days had evaporated. His son had shown such promise–what else did he need to worry about?

"Good son, good son!" He was unbearably excited. He finally believed that his son truly had the ability to help him rescue his wife!

"Then, tonight we'll head to the dinner together," Ling Dong Xing said with a nod. Now that his son was showing more and more promise, the position of Clan Head definitely would be passed down to his son in future, thus it'd be good to have Ling Han follow by his side and learn through observation.

Ling Han kept up the smile on his face. When he imagined Alchemist Ma seeing him later tonight, he could practically see the thunderstruck expression on the latter's face.

That night, Ling Dong Xing and his son, accompanied by four attendants, arrived at "Xuan Yu House". This was where Ling Dong Xing had invited Alchemist Ma for dinner.

While they were waiting in one of the private rooms of the restaurant, Ling Dong Xing and Ling Han talked with each other.

"Peng!" The door was suddenly pushed open, and two people entered.

They were Ling Zhong Kuan and Ling Mu Yun!

"What are the two of you doing here?" Ling Dong Xing said coldly.

"The clan is in such big trouble, how could I not come?" Ling Zhong Kuan did not wait to be invited before sitting down and saying to Ling Dong Xing, "I'd advise you to step back from this issue, and leave this matter for me to handle."

"You?" Ling Dong Xing laughed coldly, and said, "Why?"

"You must have offended Alchemist Ma in some way. Otherwise, how could it be that he would make trouble for our clan for no reason?" Ling Zhong Kuan spoke slowly, then gesturing at Ling Mu Yun, said, "This boy went to be examined yesterday. He has a great potential for fire control. Thus, hehe, he has already been accepted by Alchemist Ma as an apprentice. After a few years' hard work, Alchemist Ma would take him in as an official disciple. In the future, he would become an alchemist."

Ling Mu Yun walked up to stand proudly beside Ling Zhong Kuan. There was immeasurable pride on his face.

After the "trouble" caused by Ling Han, he had lost the chance to enroll into Hu Yang Academy. But who would have thought that when a door closed, a window would open. He actually had a great potential for fire control, so there was a high chance that he would become an alchemist in future.

Alchemist–the most powerful, most noble profession in the whole of Gray Cloud Town... no, the whole of Rain Country!

Ling Zhong Kuan was very proud. His two sons weren't even able to compare with Ling Dong Xing, but that was all right, for his grandson was much, much more outstanding than Ling Han!
