I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 818 - 563: Dan Tower Master—Direct Disciple (2)

He paused for a moment and slowly recounted the experiences within the subspace:

"Without General Qin, we might have been transformed by the evil energy of the Evil God Altar and become puppets of the Evil God. It was he who ventured into subspace alone and rescued us and Elder Yun from a group of malevolent entities; then, using his space talent, he opened a channel between subspace and the Main Universe, bringing us back safely; moreover, he carried a private spaceship with him, without which we couldn’t have contacted the outside world or returned smoothly."

Boom!

These words exploded in everyone’s ears like a thunderclap, stirring a monstrous wave in their hearts, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

General Qin Tian?

Did he really accomplish this?

Most of the alchemists present were eyewitnesses to the Cangwu Mountain incident.

They saw with their own eyes Elder Yun being captured by Evil God Followers, and Qin Tian tearing open a space node to enter the subspace alone to save them. At that time, though deeply moved by Qin Tian’s courage and determination, full of gratitude, they had little hope after calming down.

On Cangwu Mountain, the Xieshen Association could dispatch Tier Eight malevolent entities, so it was imaginable that in the Evil God’s lair—subspace—powerful enemies would abound, crises lurking everywhere. Qin Tian was but a Tier Seven Spiritualist; saving others seemed impossible, and he might even lose himself.

But who would have thought that this young major general would indeed create a miracle!

He truly ventured through the desperate situation of subspace, bringing back Elder Yun and all the abducted alchemists unscathed!

For a moment, everyone’s hearts were filled with gratitude and admiration for Qin Tian.

In their eyes, Qin Tian was no longer merely the "Dongfang Mingyue’s boyfriend" but a great hero who saved the Dan Tower and the entire alchemy community.

"Qin Tian... He really did it."

Xu Lin stood in place, a strong rush of emotion surging in his heart.

Before this, he knew nothing about Qin Tian until after the Cangwu Mountain incident when he learned about this young major general from other alchemists, and heard about his lone venture into subspace to save Elder Yun, risking his life and everything.

At this moment, seeing Dai Yu’s sincere expression in the projection, he immediately made a decision.

"Alright, I understand." Xu Lin nodded slowly, solemnly saying, "Dai Yu, the journey is long, protect Elder Yun well, everyone at the Dan Tower and I will be waiting for you on the Royal Star."

"Yes!" Dai Yu straightened up, his voice firm.

The communication ended, and the holographic projection faded.

Xu Lin turned around, looked firmly at a nearby alchemist, and asked, "Which alchemy room is Ming Yue in? Take me there."

"Yes, Tower Master!" The alchemist dared not delay and quickly responded, leading the way ahead.

The other alchemists, driven by curiosity, quietly followed, wanting to see what business the Tower Master had with Dongfang Mingyue.

The leading alchemist sent a message to Dongfang Mingyue in advance, informing her of the Tower Master’s visit.

Thus, when they arrived at the alchemy room door, Dongfang Mingyue was already waiting there.

She was dressed in a plain alchemist’s robe, her eyes slightly red, with a lingering joy on her face, evidently having already heard the news of Qin Tian and Elder Yun’s safe return.

"Tower Master!"

Seeing Xu Lin approaching, Dongfang Mingyue quickly bowed slightly, respectfully greeting him.

"Ming Yue." Xu Lin looked at the young girl in front of him, showing a gentle smile.

Dongfang Mingyue was a recently rising star in the Dan Tower, a talented alchemist with extraordinary insight, whom he had personally guided and greatly appreciated for her intelligence and diligence.

He paused, then spoke, throwing out a shocking statement: "Ming Yue, are you interested in becoming my direct disciple?"

What?!

Like a bolt from the blue, the words stunned Dongfang Mingyue.

She froze in place, unable to believe her ears.

The Tower Master... was inviting her to become his direct disciple?

Who was Xu Lin?

He was the Master of the Dan Tower, the president of the Royal Alchemy Association, the current Empire’s most hopeful candidate to break through to a Tier Ten Alchemist!

In the alchemy world, he was the undisputed supreme, unparalleled in comparison.

Countless alchemists spent their lives yearning for his guidance, let alone becoming his direct disciple.

That was the dream and highest status symbol within the alchemy community.

And now, this supreme of the alchemy community actively asked her to be his direct disciple?

After a long moment of being stunned, Dongfang Mingyue finally realized, immediately bowing deeply: "Disciple Ming Yue, greets Master!"

"Good! Good! Good child!"

Xu Lin promptly extended both hands, gently helping Dongfang Mingyue up, a comforting smile on his face, filled with praise in his eyes.

This scene left all the alchemists following behind thoroughly astounded, stirring a monstrous wave in their hearts, their eyes brimming with envy.

The Tower Master actually accepted Dongfang Mingyue as a direct disciple?!

What does it mean to be the Tower Master’s direct disciple?

To call her the "princess" of the entire alchemy community wouldn’t be an exaggeration!

From now on, Dongfang Mingyue would have access to endless cultivation resources, the most core formulas and alchemy inheritance of the Dan Tower, treated as a honored guest whenever visiting any Royal Alchemy Association or top power in the Empire, receiving the utmost respect.

The direct disciple of the Dan Tower Master, this status was more prestigious than even the direct lineage of the Holy Blood Clan.

After all, there were many direct lineage descendants of the Holy Blood Clan, while direct disciples of the Dan Tower Master were very few.

"Congratulations to the Tower Master! For acquiring a brilliant disciple!"

"Congratulations to Ming Yue! Fulfilling her wish, becoming the Tower Master’s direct disciple!"

The surrounding alchemists, despite any inner envy or jealousy, still congratulated openly.

"Thank you all, and thank you, Master."

Dongfang Mingyue slightly bowed, responding one by one.

But she understood well why the Tower Master suddenly chose her as a direct disciple.

All this was because of Qin Tian.

It was Qin Tian, disregarding life and death, who brought back Elder Yun and the elites of the Dan Tower. This kind of grace was so heavy, it influenced Xu Lin, the Master of the Dan Tower, to break the unwritten rules of the alchemy community and take her under his wing.

There’s an unwritten rule in the alchemy community: Alchemists from the Dongfang Clan and Xiao Family, the two Holy Blood Clans, cannot enter the core circle of the Alchemy Association.

The reason was simple: The alchemists from these two clans had such incredible talent in alchemy that if they were allowed into the core of the Alchemy Association, mastering top-level alchemy inheritance and resources, it wouldn’t be long before the entire alchemy community would be dominated by these two clans, and the Dan Tower would lose its leading role.

Hence, not to mention becoming a direct disciple of the Tower Master, it’s extremely rare for alchemists from these two clans to hold honorary elder positions at the Dan Tower.

But this time, the Tower Master broke this unwritten rule, taking her, an alchemist of the Dongfang Clan, as his direct disciple, showing how significant Qin Tian’s act of bringing back Elder Yun weighed in his heart.

"Qin Tian..." A gentle smile appeared in Dongfang Mingyue’s eyes, murmuring silently, "I owe you once again, what ever should I do to repay you?"

Sunlight streamed through the windows of the Dan Tower, falling on her face, her gentle and bright smile reflecting the joy of survival after calamity and her deep attachment and longing for Qin Tian.

...

"Qin Tian brought Elder Yun back, and Ming Yue was accepted by Xu Lin as a direct disciple."

After hearing the good news from Dongfang Haoyue, Zhuge Yu was momentarily stunned, then smiled, shaking his head:

"This is Qin Tian, he always accomplishes what others deem impossible."

Beside him, Dongfang Haoyue also smiled:

"Indeed, this guy has never disappointed anyone."

Speaking here, Zhuge Yu’s face turned serious, saying: "Ming Yue being accepted as Tower Master Xu Lin’s direct disciple is a significant benefit to us, swaying those hesitating people to our side completely, but for some it is a stark contrast, I believe we should enhance the security around Ming Yue, and not take things lightly."

"Yes, I understand."

Dongfang Haoyue looked into a certain direction, speaking softly: "I’ve heard that his body is near its limits, A Yu, our time is running short."
