Chapter 59：Granted (2/2)
”Now, there is another thing I wanted to talk to you guys about. It's regarding the alchemy gardens.” She said. ”I am thinking of changing how we work in the alchemy garden for 2 weeks.”
”Tell all the elders working in the garden itself to stop. Only keep elders for guarding the garden and maintaining it, and not picking the ingredients.”
The elders were confused. ”Huh, then who will pick up the ingredients, sect leader?” they asked.
”My disciple will. He has an unearthly ability to recognize alchemy ingredients, and now that he has spiritual sense, it would be much faster for him to do the searching, than the other elders and disciples.” She said.
”Have you thought of how we will go about it, sect leader?” the Great elder asked.
”Yes,” Ma Rong replied, ”Every day, we will ask the disciples to request what they need, and put it in a list. And that night, my disciple will go around the garden looking for the ingredients. This is only for 2 weeks because I want to see how good my disciple's ability really is.”
The elders stopped for a second and then accepted it. If a disciple could find a Spirit Enhancing lily, then it would be better to let that disciple do all the alchemy picking. Besides, he had a spiritual sense.
He would already be better than most elders at locating ingredients just based on that.
”Alright then. The meeting is over. You can all go now.” Ma Rong said. All the elders slowly started to bid farewells to her and left the room.
”I will take my leave as well, sect leader.” The first elder left as well. Only the sect leader and great elder were left in the room.
The great elder took a big sigh and spoke, ”What are you doing Ma Rong? You will antagonize the elders if you decide to randomly make decisions like that. They will view it as you giving priority over your disciple compared to others. They already think you made Lang Shun an elder just because he is your junior disciple brother but doesn't dare to voice it.”
Ma Rong was silent for a bit and then spoke, ”But master, Wen Cheng wasn't lying when he said Yu Ming is a genius. He has already made a 16% harmony pill on the first day he tried alchemy. That was 7 days after he joined the sect.”
The great elder's eyes widened, ”are you sure he isn't just lying?” he asked.
”No, he isn't. I checked his sales records, and he really did sell 7 Spirit Enhancing pills ranging from 12% to 16% harmony the day after he bought the ingredients. He is a genius in alchemy that comes once in a thousand years. Now that he has unlocked spiritual sense this morning, he should be much better.”
”I will properly teach him starting tomorrow, and I am sure he will rise very fast.” Ma Rong said.
”Ho... If my grand disciple really is that talented, then I can't wait to see what he can do in the future.”
