"Spring Spring Fist" is only the most basic introductory Martial Arts, which even young talent could master in one attempt, so there's really nothing worth celebrating.

"So, have I passed this level? Can I learn your unique Martial Arts now?" Lin Yifan asked curiously.

"No! You've only passed the first level, there are many more levels waiting for you; only after you've passed all the levels will you be able to learn my true skills," the Peach Blossom Valley Venerable answered.

Lin Yifan just wanted to say one word: "Tired!"

He hadn't expected that learning a unique Martial Arts would require so many tests, but it didn't matter; with his eidetic memory, he could pass any test.

Taking a deep breath, he then said, "Alright, just bring it on."

"You've mastered the introductory Martial Arts, now let's see if you can master the intermediate Martial Arts in one go." The Peach Blossom Valley Venerable said, "This is a Palm Technique called 'Subdue Tiger Palm.' I hope you can master it in one attempt."

"'Subdue Tiger Palm,' what a powerful name!" Lin Yifan exclaimed.

"Watch carefully! I will only perform it once, and you must learn it."

After saying that, he began to demonstrate.

Lin Yifan watched intently, memorizing every move and form demonstrated by the Peach Blossom Valley Venerable.

Soon, he had learned it.

Then, he immediately demonstrated it for the Peach Blossom Valley Venerable.

The Peach Blossom Valley Venerable, while watching and stroking his long white beard, nodded his head in satisfaction, feeling that Lin Yifan performed well and indeed had great potential in martial arts.

Having passed the intermediate Martial Arts, it was time for the advanced Martial Arts. The Peach Blossom Valley Venerable demonstrated the 'Meteor Sword Technique,' testing Lin Yifan's higher-level learning and comprehension skills.

The 'Meteor Sword Technique' looked cool and was also very fast, so fast that it was almost invisible to the naked eye.

Lin Yifan concentrated deeply, continuously practicing in his mind, and deeply studied every move and form of the 'Meteor Sword Technique.'

As she watched this scene, Xiao Fang grew even more infatuated, thinking that Lin Yifan looked very handsome when he was serious.

"The Qilin Scholar, Peach Blossom Valley Lin Lang."

This was the title she came up with for Lin Yifan at that moment, thinking it suited him perfectly.

The Peach Blossom Valley Venerable quickly finished demonstrating the 'Meteor Sword Technique.' At that moment, he threw the sharp sword to Lin Yifan, asking Lin Yifan to perform it again.

Lin Yifan caught the sharp sword, then closed his eyes, took a deep breath to calm his nerves; then he started to blindly execute the moves.

The sharp sword in his hands continually followed the images that surfaced in his mind, and gradually, each move and form of the 'Meteor Sword Technique' emerged.

Lin Yifan executed them superbly, his movements sometimes graceful as a dance, sometimes striking unexpectedly, and at times fleeting like a meteor; it was as if he came like the wind and left like the dust, wonderfully beautiful.

The Peach Blossom Valley Venerable had not expected Lin Yifan to master the 'Meteor Sword Technique' so profoundly in such a short time, far exceeding his expectations.

He had thought that Lin Yifan would need to learn it a second or even a third time, as after all, it was an advanced Swordsmanship that ordinary people could take years, even decades, to master. Some with less aptitude could never learn it at all, and would simply fall by the wayside.

"Excellent! The student surpasses the master, I have finally found someone to inherit my skills," the Peach Blossom Valley Venerable was extraordinarily satisfied.

While healing Lin Yifan's injuries, he had discovered that Lin Yifan had an exceptional physique for martial arts, and indeed, it was true; besides that, Lin Yifan's character and personality were also good; now he could finally pass on his lifetime of Martial Arts knowledge to Lin Yifan with peace of mind.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

"Boom!"

With the last stroke, Lin Yifan unleashed a slash of Sharp Sword Qi, instantly splitting a large tree in half—it was terrifying.

Only after completing the demonstration did he open his eyes.

Although he couldn't see himself wielding the sword just then, in his mind, he could vividly picture himself performing the "Meteor Sword Technique." It was incredibly cool.

After straightening his clothes, he walked over with a satisfied smile and asked, "Venerable, how was it? Did I pass?"

"You did!" Peach Blossom Valley Venerable responded.

"So, can I now learn your Unique Martial Arts?" Lin Yifan asked eagerly.

"You can learn, but my greatest skill isn't Martial Arts. Would you like to learn it?" Peach Blossom Valley Venerable inquired.

"If it's not Martial Arts, what is it?" Lin Yifan curiously asked.

"Alchemy!" Peach Blossom Valley Venerable answered.

"Alchemy!" That was a revelation, completely unexpected by Lin Yifan; he had thought the Peach Blossom Valley Venerable excelled only in Martial Arts, but it turned out to be Alchemy.

He had guessed that Peach Blossom Valley Venerable was an Alchemist, but he had not realized that alchemy was the primary focus of this cultivator—this was somewhat unexpected.

Reflecting on their conversation that day, he felt that this elder in front of him might very well be the founder of Medicinal Saint Valley—Bright True Master.

Because only Bright True Master would know exactly which generation of successors Medicinal Saint Valley now had, and only he prioritized Alchemy above all else.

Lin Yifan felt embarrassed about his own performance in front of the Sect Leader of Medicinal Saint Valley that day—it was indeed embarrassing.

"No wonder he was sure I wasn't a disciple of Medicinal Saint Valley. It makes sense now."

Having realized this, Lin Yifan promptly answered, "I'd like to learn! Please teach me, Venerable."

An Alchemist could create the strongest sect in the Cultivation World; mastering his Alchemy could make him invincible. What was there not to learn?

"If you want to learn my Alchemy, you must face even harsher trials. Are you sure you want to learn?" Peach Blossom Valley Venerable asked again.

"Even if storms rage or I face a mountain of blades and sea of fire, I still want to learn," Lin Yifan replied with unwavering determination.

With powerful Alchemy skills, he could command a vast number of cultivators. There was nothing he couldn't do.

"Very well! Let's change locations and proceed inside for the trial!" After saying this, Peach Blossom Valley Venerable led Lin Yifan to the Alchemy Room.

The Alchemy Room was a standalone building, not far from the main building; it was surrounded by misty Medicinal Fields, hosting many varieties of Medicinal Herbs.

As he followed the path, almost without realizing, Lin Yifan found a large amount of Channeling Herb, far more than he had ever imagined.

"Whoa! How can there be so many Rare Herbs?" Lin Yifan wondered incredulously.

In other places, finding even one Channeling Herb would be considered a treasure; here, however, it was as common as a vegetable, truly at the price of cabbage.

At that moment, Lin Yifan's eyes were opened wide; looking at the dazzling array of Rare Herbs, he was truly drooling.

This was a vast amount of wealth—like mountains of gold and silver. With this, he wouldn't have to worry about sustenance for the rest of his life.

However, the real value still lay in Alchemy.
