When Luo Fan heard that, he immediately understood what Grandor meant.
Having a King-level alchemist as his master would bring tremendous benefits.
Before, he had rejected the inheritances from Inkfall Star and the unlucky World Lord mainly because he disliked having a strange intelligent lifeform constantly following him.
Besides, without personal guidance, having a "teacher" in name only made little difference.
But Grandor was different.
Not only did he possess terrifying mastery in the field of alchemy, but even in the comprehension of laws, he could offer immense help.
After all, Grandor bore another title, Wood Spirit King.
His comprehension of the Space Origin Law had already reached the King level.
He was also a high-ranking official within the Virtual Universe Company, serving as an influential director in the Alchemist Department.
The amount of resources he could mobilize was considerable.
Luo Fan didn't even hesitate. He knelt down immediately.
"Please accept me as your disciple, Teacher!"
Grandor's eyes curved into crescents with joy.
"Good, good, good!"
"Rise."
"From today onward, you are my thirteenth personal disciple."
As he spoke, Grandor helped Luo Fan to his feet.
"Since you have formally acknowledged me as your master, I should give you something in return."
"Hmm… I'll give you some rare materials."
"Send me an address, and I'll have someone deliver them to you."
Luo Fan bowed respectfully.
"Thank you, Teacher!"
Grandor nodded in satisfaction and continued,
"Now then, let's return to the question we were discussing earlier."
"When you fuse Rice Sprout and Willow Bloom…"
Just like that, Grandor lectured Luo Fan for an entire day.
Besides answering Luo Fan's questions, he also taught him many of his own secret techniques, unique methods that were never passed on to outsiders.
These specialized techniques allowed materials to merge far more effectively.
"Oh, by the way, you've comprehended the Water Origin Law, haven't you?"
"I've also gained insight into the Water Origin Law and received acknowledgment from it."
"If you have any questions, you can ask me as well."
Hearing that, Luo Fan's heart leapt with delight.
He had originally thought Grandor only comprehended the Wood and Space Origin Laws.
He hadn't expected him to also have understanding of the Water Origin Law.
Seeing Luo Fan's expression, Grandor spoke kindly.
"The Wood, Water, and Earth Origin Laws are all very helpful when it comes to configuring elixirs."
"Of course, among them, the Wood Origin Law is the most beneficial."
"How far has your comprehension of the Water Origin Law reached? Come, I'll take you somewhere. Show me what you can do."
As he spoke, Grandor brought Luo Fan into another spatial domain.
"Go ahead, whatever weapon you need, I'll simulate it for you."
As soon as he finished, a transparent interface appeared before them.
Luo Fan could input the weapon he wanted.
Without hesitation, he simulated a Tide God Blade.
"Tide God Blade?"
A hint of surprise flashed through Grandor's eyes.
After all, the Tide God Blade was extremely difficult to use.
Just mastering its first form was enough to make one invincible among Stellar-level warriors.
"I didn't expect you to wield that weapon."
"Come, attack me with full strength!"
Luo Fan obeyed without hesitation.
The next instant, he swung the blade.
Nine enormous blue arcs of energy slashed toward Grandor.
With a casual wave of his hand, Grandor dispersed all nine energy arcs.
But his eyes were filled with astonishment.
"This is… the Space Origin Law!"
Luo Fan stopped attacking.
That strike had already unleashed his full power.
All of his current comprehension of the laws had been poured into that single blow.
He quietly glanced at his system panel.
[Secret Technique: Tide God Blade, Second Form – Water Severing Form 3456/10000 (Major Accomplishment), …]
The Water Severing Form, once mastered, could unleash eighteen energy arcs.
At present, Luo Fan could only produce nine.
When he had reached Minor Accomplishment, he could release only three arcs.
Now, at Major Accomplishment, he could strike nine.
Grandor's gaze grew complex.
He hadn't expected Luo Fan's comprehension of the laws to have reached such depth.
"Hmm… Luo Fan, for the time being, don't focus too much on alchemy."
"With your current strength, judging from previous Cosmic Genius Battles, you stand a real chance of entering the Primal Secret Realm!"
"So for now, concentrate your efforts on deepening your comprehension of the laws."
"If there's anything you don't understand, you can come to me anytime."
"By the way, do you have manuals on the Water Origin Law and Space Origin Law?"
Luo Fan immediately answered respectfully,
"Teacher, I've obtained relevant manuals by chance."
"As for alchemy, I'm not devoting all my attention to it at the moment."
"My main focus is still on understanding the laws."
"So there's no need to worry, Teacher."
He wasn't lying.
In truth, he only used part of his Mechanical-Race clone's processing power for alchemy.
Most of his energy was spent on comprehending the laws.
At this stage, laws were the most important.
Even his combat training had been limited—he mainly let his avatars accumulate battle experience.
It was also his avatars' robots who hunted the Water Source Crystals.
All three of his clones were primarily devoted to law comprehension.
Grandor nodded, then continued,
"That last strike of yours was powerful, but your control over the Water Origin Law still needs refinement. For example…"
As he spoke, he picked up the Tide God Blade and slashed.
Although Grandor had never used the Tide God Blade before, nor was a blade even his usual weapon, at his level of insight, any casual strike carried immense power.
At such a realm, weapon type hardly mattered.
Unless one was someone who specialized exclusively in a single weapon path.
What Grandor taught Luo Fan next focused more on the application of laws.
After finishing with the Water Origin Law, he moved on to the Space Origin Law, his most proficient domain.
As he spoke, he conjured a secret rune diagram in midair and explained each key point in detail.
Luo Fan occasionally interjected with questions.
Meanwhile, he set up a task:
[Task: Receive Grandor's first one-on-one guidance. Reward: +100,000 Water Origin Law Comprehension, +10,000 Space Origin Law Comprehension.]
This time, Grandor's instruction lasted even longer than his previous alchemy lecture.
As a King-level powerhouse, he naturally knew that comprehension of the laws was the foundation of everything.
His explanations were exceptionally detailed, he not only expounded on the nature of the laws but also demonstrated various methods of applying them.
From time to time, he would even suppress his realm and spar with Luo Fan directly, allowing him to experience the principles firsthand.
Luo Fan felt that his understanding of the laws was advancing at rocket speed.
Grandor's guidance was far beyond anything the World Lords or ordinary immortals of the Virtual Universe Company could offer.
