Chapter 7 Favor

After being excited for a while, Xiao Lin glanced at Xiao Zhen next to him and found that the boy was also grinning foolishly.

Xiao Zhen was also greatly relieved. He had originally guessed that as a time traveler, according to the usual routine, his soul would be stronger than others. As he expected, his soul power was also recognized by the old man Fa Ma.

Xiao Zhen, who was secretly laughing, was suddenly slapped hard on the back of his head. He turned around and found that it was his father.

When Xiao Zhen was about to ask why he was hit on the head, Xiao Lin scolded him, "You little brat, you haven't even met the teacher yet."

Xiao Zhen came back to his senses. Yes, it was time for him to become a disciple. He was so happy that he actually forgot about it.

Xiao Zhen gritted his teeth, fell to his knees with a thud, and kowtowed several times to Fa Ma who was sitting in front of him.

Seeing Xiao Zhen so serious, Fa Ma also showed a gentle smile, walked forward to help him up, patted the dust off his knees, then touched his head and said gently:

"Good boy, get up! From now on, you can call me teacher. If you have any questions in the future, you can come and ask me."

Xiao Zhen nodded. Now he looked so well-behaved that he really looked like a kid of twelve or thirteen years old.

However, Xiao Zhen was shouting in his heart: My head hurts so much! It hurts so much.

In addition to the burning feeling on Xiao Zhen's forehead, he also felt a little itchy. It might be because he had hit his head too hard and broke it.

Fa Ma looked at the trace of blood on Xiao Zhen's forehead, took out a bottle of pills from the ring, poured out a fragrant emerald green pill from it, and then fed it to Xiao Zhen.

Although Xiao Zhen didn't know what grade the pill was, the moment he took it, he felt that the pain in his head was less severe and the wound seemed to be healing rapidly.

Fa Ma stood there, as if he was thinking about something. It seemed as if he had made some important decision. He took out a secret book and put it in Xiao Zhen's hand.

Fa Ma smiled and said, "You just became my disciple, so I don't have much to give you. This scroll is about the fire-attributed skills, so I'll give it to you!"

Xiao Zhen was not polite. He felt that if he didn't say it, it would be an embarrassment to Fa Ma, so he had no choice but to accept it.

However, when Chemir, who was standing nearby, saw the secret book, he seemed very surprised, as if he had seen something magical.

Afterwards, with Xiao Lin's gratitude, Fa Ma personally escorted the father and son out the door.

After returning to the office, Qi Mier curiously asked Fa Ma about the doubts in his mind.

"President, since you accepted that child, it means that the child has excellent talent. But why did you give him that secret book, which you spent a lot of effort to buy before?"

Fa Ma stroked his white beard and explained, "Qimi, you don't know how strong the soul power of that child is. I'm afraid that some second-grade alchemists are far inferior to him in terms of soul power."

Qiemi was a little surprised. He didn't expect Xiao Zhen's soul to be so strong. You know, the secret techniques of cultivating the soul are only legends in the whole world, and it is not something that a small person like him can access.

What's more, it is even more impossible to exist in the Gama Empire. The soul can only be improved with time and cultivation.

"Then... I wonder how that child's talent compares to Gu He's?"

Fa Ma said without hesitation that in terms of soul power, the child's talent was indeed stronger than Gu He's, and there was also a huge difference in their talents in cultivation.

When Gu He was as old as Xiao Zhen is now, he was still working hard to cultivate his fighting spirit.

Speaking of the young man Gu He, Fa Ma also admires him very much. Gu He is now just starting to show his talent. He is in his 20s and his cultivation is at the level of a nine-star fighter, but he is already a third-grade alchemist.

Today, Gu He is considered to be a leader among the young alchemists of the Jia Ma Empire. When Fa Ma first met Gu He, he was attracted by his talent and wanted to take him as his disciple.

However, this request was rejected by Gu He, because Gu He had already had a master before, and his teacher had met with an accident, and Gu He did not want to have another teacher.

Although Fa Ma was somewhat disappointed with Gu He's rejection, he would not specifically target him. Instead, he often gave him some advice like an elder.

Xiao Zhen, who suddenly appeared now, is even more talented than Gu He. Fa Ma is confident that under his guidance, Xiao Zhen will be able to completely surpass Gu He within 20 years and become the leading figure of the new generation of alchemists in the Jia Ma Empire, which will bring honor to him.

Listening to the president's unreserved praise of Xiao Zhen, Qiemier finally understood why Fa Ma thought so highly of Xiao Zhen.

As for the things in that secret book, I'm afraid the president has already seen it. After all, the shaft is not a pill. Everyone can see it, and it is not a consumable.

After returning to the Xiao family, Xiao Zhen went straight into his room, then took out a scroll from the ring. After opening it, he found that it was actually a scroll of martial arts.

Xiao Zhen was surprised to find that this volume of martial arts was actually a low-level earth-level fire-attribute martial arts.

Seven-turn True Fire Technique

Grade: Low Earth Grade

Evaluation: A superior technique with fire attributes. Practitioners of this technique can cultivate a powerful true fire that has the power to burn everything.

After checking out the system's evaluation, Xiao Zhen couldn't help but give a thumbs up. He didn't expect that just by becoming a disciple, he would actually get such a superior fire-based martial arts technique.

Xiao Zhen held the scroll in his hand, rested it on his chin, and began to ponder. It seemed that the cheap teacher really took a fancy to him and actually gave him a low-level earth-level martial arts technique.

I'm afraid that in the Jia Ma Empire, there are not many forces that can show off the martial arts and fighting skills that have reached the earth level.

In the Jia Ma Empire, the most likely sect to be able to show off the earth-level skills should be the Yunlan Sect. After all, the Yunlan Sect is said to have been founded by Dou Zun Yun Potian, and they also have a mysterious Gate of Life and Death.

In some fan fictions, there is even a chance to break through to become a Dou Di within the Gate of Life and Death, but those should just be made up fan fictions, otherwise how could the whole family be easily wiped out later.

The fact that Fa Ma was able to take out this volume of skills and give it to others is enough to show the strength of the Alchemist Guild. Alchemist is indeed a very promising profession.

After taking a closer look at the scroll in his hand, Xiao Zhen couldn't help but mutter to himself, "It seems that I owe this cheap teacher a big favor."

Xiao Zhen could probably guess the purpose of Fa Ma sending this volume of skills to him. He probably wanted to win over this genius.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Zhen slowly said, "I am not an ordinary 12-year-old child. I will not be moved so easily. However, I will remember this favor and will definitely repay the teacher's kindness double in the future."

Although Xiao Zhen and Fa Ma are only nominal master and disciple now, after all, they have only just become apprentices and do not have any feelings for each other yet, Xiao Zhen has no choice but to accept this favor.

After all, the volume of Xuan-level skills in the family really cannot be compared with the Di-level skills in front of him. The quality of the skills is related to the future prospects and must be taken seriously.

After thinking through the pros and cons, Xiao Zhen sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice the Seven Revolutions True Fire Technique.

Fortunately, he received the martial arts technique yesterday and had not had time to practice it. He only learned some key points. Otherwise, he would have to change the martial arts technique again, which would be really troublesome.
