Soon, Zhangsun Yu brought Qin Yang and the rest to his courtyard.
"Everyone, you can rest assured and stay in the Zhangsun family for a few days. It won't be too late to leave when it's safe. For now, the Wu family shouldn't dare to mess with us."
Zhangsun Yu's expression was a little gloomy as he spoke.
Life was already difficult now. As long as the Grand Elder passed away, the Zhangsun family's strength would be greatly reduced. By then, life would be much more difficult than it was now.
"Zhangsun Yu, your Grand Elder's situation is …"
Zhangsun Yu smiled bitterly. "There's nothing to hide. It's not a secret."
"Although the Grand Elder is at Primal Core Level Nine, he's already 270 years old. He has reached the end of his lifespan!"
In the Primal Core realm, if one had never been injured and had been cultivating, the normal lifespan would be 330 to 340 to 370 years old. The exact number depended on the level of the Primal Core realm!
However, how many cultivators would not be injured?
Lifespan wasn't something that would never change!
After suffering a serious injury, even if one recovered in the future, one's vitality would be depleted and their lifespan would decrease. Unless precious elixirs or other treasures were used!
It was already very good for someone at Primal Core Level Nine to live to 270 years old!
"Can't he use things like the Life Spirit Liquid to increase his lifespan?"
Hua Wanrou asked doubtfully.
Zhangsun Yu sighed. "Such things aren't cheap. Moreover, such things are more effective when used at a younger age. The Grand Elder is nearing the end of his lifespan. Even with the Life Spirit Liquid, it won't be able to delay his lifespan for long!"
"If he can break through, the Grand Elder can increase his lifespan by a few decades. However, I'm afraid he won't be able to break through."
"Today, the Zhangsun family invited an Elixir King senior. However, I'm afraid …"
The Zhangsun family had already invited a few Elixir Kings. However, despite spending a lot of money, the Grand Elder showed no signs of breaking through.
"Zhangsun Yu, why don't you let me take a look?"
Qin Yang said as he took out his Alchemy Grandmaster badge.
Seeing this, Zhangsun Yu was shocked. Qin Yang was younger than him but was already a Level Five Alchemy Grandmaster!
If his cultivation could keep up, he might even become an Elixir King or Elixir Lord in the future!
However, when he thought of his Old Ancestor, Zhangsun Yu sighed.
There were eight or nine Grade Six Elixir Kings and even more Grade Five Great Grandmasters. What could a young Grade Five Great Grandmaster like Qin Yang do?
Youth often represented inexperience.
Moreover, Qin Yang came from a remote place, so his knowledge and experience were probably lacking.
"Thank you."
"But there's no hurry. Let's take a rest first."
Zhangsun Yu did not reject it. After all, it was still a glimmer of hope!
However, at this moment, Zhangsun Yu would not bring anyone over. Over there, the Tier 6 Pill King was examining the condition of Zhangsun Yu's Old Ancestor, Zhangsun Xian.
Zhangsun Yu had heard that although the Alchemy King who came today was strong, his temper wasn't very good.
Bringing a Great Grandmaster level figure over at this time meant that he didn't trust the other party!
"Alright."
Qin Yang nodded slightly.
Unknowingly, two hours had passed. Zhangsun Yu estimated that his Old Ancestor's side should be done. In the past, it would take at most an hour.
"Brother Qin!"
"Set off? Alright! "
Qin Yang and Zhangsun Yu left. Not long after, Qin Yang and the rest entered Zhangsun Xian's courtyard. This courtyard was much bigger than Zhangsun Yu's.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, Zhangsun Yu immediately felt a little awkward. His grandfather was accompanying an old man outside.
Wasn't that old man the Alchemy King, Gu Daoshi, who came today?
Among the Alchemy Kings, Gu Daoshi was considered a rather famous one. The experts who sought him out for alchemy would often make appointments a few years later!
If not for the Zhangsun Clan's previous favor to the Gu Clan, it wouldn't have been so easy to invite Gu Daoshi.
"Tier 5 Grandmaster."
"Looks like the Zhangsun Clan has prepared for both sides. Not bad."
Gu Daoshi's face turned cold. He saw the badge on Qin Yang's chest.
"Young man, what's your name? You've reached the tier of Tier 5 Grandmaster at such a young age. Not bad. However, isn't the Zhangsun Clan a little too hasty? The Old Man hasn't left yet, and they've already sent someone else to treat him! "
Zhangsun Yu bowed and said, "Senior Gu, I was too rash. I estimated that the two hours should be over. I didn't expect Senior Gu to be so responsible! "Senior Gu, the Old Ancestor has been very good to me. I heard that Brother Qin has the strength of a Tier 5 Grandmaster, so I dragged him here in a hurry!"
Gu Daoshi's expression became a little better. Although Zhangsun Yu was a good person, he still understood the ways of the world.
That sentence of being so responsible had hit Gu Daoshi's heart.
"Elder Gu, the younger generation is not sensible. I'll definitely criticize him when the time comes."
Zhangsun Yu's grandfather said.
Gu Daoshi said lightly, "Forget it. He's also worried about Senior Xian. Little Qin, right? Where are you from? Who's your master? "
Qin Yang was a Tier 5 Grandmaster at such a young age. Gu Daoshi didn't want to offend him easily.
"I'm Qin Yang from Cangyue Peninsula!"
"I'm just spouting nonsense. I don't have any master."
Qin Yang cupped his hands.
Gu Daoshi's eyes flashed. "Uncivilized land? Little Qin, looks like you've obtained a powerful inheritance. Not bad! "
"Are you interested in becoming the Old Man's disciple?"
Qin Yang shook his head slightly. "Thank you for your kindness, Senior, but I'm used to being lazy. I don't have such plans at the moment."
Gu Daoshi's expression immediately darkened.
With his status, this was the first time he was rejected when he asked to recruit a disciple.
Zhangsun Yu was anxious. His cultivation had dropped to the Qi Gathering Realm, so he couldn't send telepathic messages. He kept hinting at Qin Yang with his eyes, but Qin Yang didn't respond.
Gu Daoshi might not be able to accept him as a disciple!
"Good, good, good!"
"Young people should have this kind of courage!"
Gu Daoshi said coldly. "However, you can pass the Tier 5 Grandmaster examination in the Uncivilized Land. If you take the examination here, you might not have the same strength! Little Qin, the Alchemist badge in the Uncivilized Land can only be used here at a lower level! "
A Tier 5 Grandmaster badge could only be equivalent to a Tier 4 Grandmaster here!
"Cough, Old Gu, it's rare for you to come here. Why don't you help Little Yu take a look at his situation?"
"Little Qin, thank you for your kindness, but —"
Before Zhangsun Yu's grandfather could finish his sentence, Gu Daoshi snorted. "Zhangsun Family Head, let him take a look at Elder Xian's situation. Otherwise, if word gets out, I, Gu Daoshi, am bullying a little kid!"
"Old Gu, we'll do as you say."
Zhangsun Yu's grandfather sighed. Soon, Qin Yang and the others entered Zhangsun Xian's residence. The place was filled with an aura of death.
Qin Yang looked around. There were some precious flowers and plants in the room, but they couldn't disperse the aura of death in the room.
There was a bed near the window, and a skinny old man was lying on the bed.
The old man was at Primal Core Realm Level 9. If he used all his strength, he could reach Primal Core Realm Level 9 for a short period of time. However, if he attacked, he would be exhausted in less than ten seconds.
"Senior Gu, I don't know how much time the Old Ancestor has left."
Looking at the old man on the bed, Zhangsun Yu's eyes were a little red!
Gu Daoshi sighed. "Elder Xian has at most a month's time, and this is even if he takes some elixirs."
"If we don't do anything, he will have at most ten days. Your Zhangsun Family can prepare for Elder Xian."
Qin Yang looked at Zhangsun Xian's situation.
"Not necessarily!"
Qin Yang said.
Gu Daoshi immediately looked at Qin Yang with a sharp gaze. He sneered and said, "Grandmaster Qin, do you think you have better foresight than the Old Man?"
Gu Daoshi's alchemy skills weren't weak, and his heart wasn't bad either.
However, he was conceited and had a bad temper.
Qin Yang's words meant that he was doubting Gu Daoshi's judgment. Gu Daoshi was furious.
