The School Beauty’s Super Rogue

Chapter 1265 - 1260: The Witch’s Identity

Regarding the matter of being a genius.

Qin Hao didn’t find it surprising; in fact, he thought it was a matter of course.

The only thing that shocked him was when the Witch mentioned earlier that he was already in the twilight years of his life?

Doesn’t that mean he’s quite old?

Old...

"Qin Hao!"

The Witch’s serious voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Brother Wu..." Qin Hao quickly corrected himself, "No, should I call you Uncle now?"

Qin Hao had no doubts about the Witch’s origins.

Because the spiritual Qi within the Witch was very similar to Pan Li’s, they were essentially from the same source.

"Haha, that’s right!"

The Witch looked very pleased.

Qin Hao thought for a moment and asked, "Then, Uncle, what rank were you in the original Five Elements Sect?"

"I was ranked second." The Witch’s voice carried a hint of pride.

Qin Hao was momentarily stunned, then he took out an ancient score from his pocket.

The Witch’s eyes widened, then shook his head, "Could this be fate? The youngest disciple actually handed over my insights to you?"

"So, Brother Wu is the Second Senior Brother my master always talks about!"

Qin Hao also became delighted.

According to Pan Li’s recounting, the Second Senior Brother had extraordinary talent and was an esteemed master in the Alchemy Dao.

The rapid growth of Qin Hao’s alchemy skills was significantly influenced by the precious insights of the Second Senior Brother.

And now, the author is right in front of him?

How could Qin Hao not marvel at the wonders of fate?

"Let me see your alchemy skills." The Witch, seemingly impatient, quickly suggested.

Qin Hao took out an elixir from his pocket. After examining it, the Witch’s eyes showed approval, "Not bad, you’ve managed to eliminate eighty percent of the impurities, which is a rare level of skill."

"Just rare?" Qin Hao felt a little disappointed.

The Witch chuckled, saying, "You have to understand that out of thousands of people doing alchemy, a hundred might become apprentices. Out of those, ten can become alchemists, and among those alchemists, only one achieves a rare level of skill."

"Uh... So that means I’m a one-in-a-thousand genius!"

Only then did Qin Hao feel a bit more balanced.

"Indeed, you are a genius. However, the path of Alchemy Dao is arduous, and you must not slack off."

At this point, the Witch adopted the demeanor of a stern elder.

"Of course, I will heed Uncle’s teachings. By the way, in your records it states that the Bone Transformation Pill is a poison but can also act as an antidote. I’m not too clear about this, right?"

Having finally met an alchemy master in person, Qin Hao would not let the opportunity slip by and began to ask questions with humility.

"Are you talking about that?"

The Witch smiled and started explaining, "Fighting poison with poison."

"But the Bone Transformation Pill isn’t essentially a poison..."

"Neutralizing properties..."

Subsequently, the Witch began to answer Qin Hao’s queries.

Qin Hao’s foundational skills in the Alchemy Dao were solid, but he was still very unclear about many things in the future.

The Witch, being a grandmaster in the Alchemy Dao, had insights into all issues.

Under his guidance, many of Qin Hao’s doubts were answered, and he became more confident about his future path.

He believed that as time went on, becoming an Alchemy Master of the Witch’s stature was just a matter of time.

By the end of the conversation, both of them were very satisfied. Qin Hao acquired a lot of knowledge, and the Witch was gratified to see his prospective disciple grow wise.

"By the way, Uncle, you entered the Celestial Dragon Island later, did you have the Celestial Dragon Order at that time?" Qin Hao thought for a moment and couldn’t help but ask.

"No, there are two methods to enter the Celestial Dragon Island. One is using a Celestial Dragon Order. The other can only be activated using the bloodline of our family as a guide," the Witch explained, "Actually, tracing back to the source, the Celestial Dragon Island was originally the territory of our Five Elements Sect. For me to enter, it’s a straightforward thing."

Qin Hao nodded, then suddenly his eyes lit up with greed, "Uncle, it’s rumored outside that there are Immortal Pills on the island, is it true?"

"Immortal Pills?" The Witch gave a faint smile, extending his palm to reveal a pea-sized elixir.

The hue was bright, and it was clear as a lake.

But at the moment it appeared, the space lit up two shades brighter and a fragrance filled the air, making one feel as though they’d reached an earthly paradise.

An elixir could possess such phenomena.

Then, what else could it be but an Immortal Pill?

Qin Hao’s jaw dropped, enough to fit an egg: "Damn, is this really an Immortal Pill? And it’s in your hands, Uncle?"

"Want it?"

The Witch’s voice carried a tone of teasing.

Qin Hao nodded eagerly, "I want it, I really want it."

"It’s not impossible to give it to you," the Witch paused here, his expression turning cold, "but you must complete our sect’s mission."

"Mission! As long as there is an order from Uncle, I will do it without any alchemical reward, even if it means going through fire and water!" Qin Hao became excited.

Kidding aside, it’s rare to meet an alchemy teacher, so helping with a few tasks is expected too.

The Witch nodded with satisfaction, "That’s very good. If you are so confident, then go and kill all the outsiders on the island."

"Ah?" Qin Hao was shocked now, awkwardly saying, "Uncle, do I really have to do this?"

"What, do you think I’m joking?" The Witch’s voice was icy: "The military and Ancient Martial Families have all betrayed our ancestors as traitors. External forces covet Huaxia’s blessings. They all deserve to die!"

"I understand." Seeing this, Qin Hao no longer hesitated, after all, most of these people were his enemies.

Even without the Witch’s request, he had reasons to do so.

"However, there are some among them who are my friends..."

The Witch interrupted, "I am not unreasonable. I also trust your judgment. Those who deserve to die, do not hold back. Those who don’t, you may spare."

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Only then did Qin Hao feel relieved, as long as Xinmu and Vini Jones were not harmed.

"Then, when you complete the mission, I will naturally give you the Immortal Pill," the Witch’s voice carried a hint of fatigue.

Qin Hao couldn’t help but mutter, "But, Uncle, how will you know if I’ve done it?"

The Witch’s voice held a slight arrogance, "As long as it happens on the island, there’s nothing that can escape my eyes."

"Is it really that magical?" Qin Hao still wanted to say more, but the Witch yawned and said, "It’s almost dawn, I’m tired now. You should leave first, come back when you’ve completed the task."

Qin Hao could sense the Witch’s fatigue, surprised at how fast time had flown by.

Should have come during the day, but it’s nearly dawn the next day already?

Time truly flies!

No choice, Qin Hao had to prepare to depart, but just before leaving, he couldn’t help but glance upwards, enviously asking, "Uncle, about the stalactite..."

The Witch replied, tiredly, "If you want to take it, just take it."

Qin Hao nodded excitedly, then seemed to remember something and timidly asked, "And the herbs in the mountains..."

"You may take them too." The Witch still replied concisely.

Qin Hao smiled, a very satisfied smile.
