Faced with Elder Dan's sudden request to become his disciple and the fervent gaze that seemed almost ready to devour him whole, Lin Changsheng was caught completely off guard.

He had only intended to make a brief appearance to find a "reasonable" theoretical basis for his seemingly inexplicable "development abilities." Little did he expect that with just a slight "effort," he would cause this highly respected Golden Elixir stage elder in the path of alchemy to lose his composure and kneel in submission.

"Elder, this is inappropriate, truly inappropriate!" Lin Changsheng hurriedly helped the tearfully excited elder to his feet. "You are a senior, an elder. How could I dare to accept you as my disciple? If word got out, wouldn't it become a laughingstock for the world?"

Ultimately, after Lin Changsheng's earnest and heartfelt "persuasion," Elder Dan reluctantly dismissed the absurd notion. However, he insisted on treating Lin Changsheng as an equal, addressing him as a "fellow Daoist," and immediately handed him the highest authority token that allowed unrestricted access to the Alchemy Hall and all its resources.
