The silence seemed to have spread to every corner of the high platform.
Even the sound of their breathing was suppressed to the lowest level by the crowd.
Gu Xuan stared at Li Yuanfang with a smile on his face.
Li Yuanfang's forehead had already begun to sweat.
The other nine members of the Li family clenched their fists. Their faces were also covered with sweat.
No matter how they answered Gu Xuan's question, it would be a big trap.
If Gu Xuan directly threw out this question, they would have all kinds of excuses. Even if there were loopholes, they could still blame Gu Xuan for being unreasonable.
However, Gu Xuan used two questions to pave the way for them. It could even be said that he had dug two small pits and waited for them to step into it step by step.
In the end, they would find that they were standing in front of a big pit. Whether they jumped into it or not, it would be very embarrassing.
The few questions of the Li family could portray Gu Xuan's establishment of the Elixir Field and the Alchemist Guild as a despicable act.
However, Gu Xuan's problem had also caused the Li Family's visit to the Pill Region to be viewed as an "unjustifiable" and an "unreasonable" vile image.
Only until now did everyone realize that the two questions that Gu Xuan asked before were very clever.
First, the Elixir Saint of the Eastern Jade Wall was obsessed with the Elixir Field. Therefore, in order to make elixirs, he didn't even do anything when the Li family was attacked.
Second, the Elixir Saint of the Eastern Jade Wall was a humble and humble person. He used his own charm to convince the enemies who wanted to kill him, instead of killing them directly.
Would such a Elixir Saint of the Eastern Jade Wall come to make trouble, denounce, challenge Gu Xuan, and even want to kill Gu Xuan after knowing that he had established the Elixir Field and the Alchemist Guild?
If he had the time, he might as well continue to be obsessed with the Elixir Field.
Although from the beginning to the end, the Li family didn't say that they wanted to kill Gu Xuan, the murderous intent in their eyes couldn't be hidden.
In the end, Gu Xuan took the opportunity to ask the third question.
Would the Elixir Saint of the Eastern Jade Wall do it?
The answer was obvious.
The Elixir Saint of the Eastern Jade Wall didn't do it!
This was the biggest trap. Everyone knew the answer, especially the people of the Li family. Because the Eastern Jade Wall Pill Saint was obsessed with the art of alchemy, and he was kind and humble. It was them who tried to spread the image of the Eastern Jade Wall Pill Saint.
However, they couldn't answer.
That was because they knew the consequences. Once they answered, Gu Xuan's fourth question would knock them down like a storm.
Gu Xuan's fourth question was definitely the one that Li Yuanfang had asked Gu Xuan before.
Moreover, this question had been hanging in Gu Xuan's throat for who knew how long. He was ready to blurt it out at any time.
"Even the Eastern Jade Wall Pill Saint wouldn't do that. Then, as the descendants of the Eastern Jade Wall Pill Saint, what right do you have to do that? How could he dare to do that?
Are you going to defy the will of the Eastern Wall Pill Saint? "
Of course, there was another answer.
In order to prove that they had a good reason, the people of the Li Family could very well answer with the word 'yes'.
However, once this word was spoken, the consequences and influence it caused were absolutely unacceptable to the entire Li family.
From now on, all the good rumors about the Eastern Jade Wall Pill Saint would disappear.
The Li Family would become the biggest joke in the Burning Sky Continent.
Regardless of whether the answer was "yes" or "no", it was a huge trap.
If it was someone with a glib tongue like Gu Xuan here, perhaps he could resolve Gu Xuan's problem.
However, Li Yuanfang and the others did not have this ability.
Therefore, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Under the high platform, the alchemists who were still doubting whether they should join the Alchemist Guild or not had already gotten rid of the shackles in their hearts.
"Yeah, even the Eastern Jade Wall Pill Saint wouldn't stop Lord Gu Xuan from establishing the Alchemist Guild. What's wrong with me joining?
Moreover, joining the Alchemist Guild is good for the unity of the alchemists, and I can also receive Lord Gu Xuan's guidance to improve my alchemy skills. There is nothing wrong with joining. "
An Alchemy King said firmly.
The other alchemists also chimed in, strengthening their confidence in joining.
The eyes of the ten alchemists of the Li Family were almost spitting fire.
The tricky question that they had painstakingly researched was easily solved by Gu Xuan just like that.
Finally, after a long time, Li Yuanfang took a deep breath and made a wise decision to stop arguing with Gu Xuan about this problem.
"Alchemy King Gu Xuan, you are indeed as glib as the rumors say.
Since you didn't answer my question, then I don't think I need to answer yours either. "
Li Yuanfang brushed this matter aside. This meant that he had already admitted defeat in the exchange of words earlier.
However, the Li Family didn't come here today to argue with Gu Xuan.
At this point, it was impossible for them to use the name of the Eastern Jade Wall Pill Saint to gain the moral high ground. So, they might as well go straight to the point.
Li Yuanfang said sternly, "In the Burning Sky Continent, no matter if it was in the past or now, the only one who is qualified to establish the Alchemist Guild is my Li Family!
You, Gu Xuan, are just an unorthodox Alchemy King. Gathering all the alchemists here to refine pills for you is just for your own personal gain!
No matter how glib your tongue is, the relay stations along the way, and those shabby sects that promote pills, have already revealed your wild ambitions, Gu Xuan.
You just want to use the pills and all the alchemists to make a profit! "
Gu Xuan curled up the corner of his mouth and stared at Li Yuanfang as if he was looking at an idiot.
"Use the pills to make a profit? Aren't you just talking nonsense? Which alchemist didn't know about this?
Not to mention them, even if the fellow daoists from the various secluded forces were included, who wouldn't know?
There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. I provide the ingredients, the recipes, and even the answers to the alchemists' questions. All of this is to make them stay here and help me refine pills.
It's a win-win situation. Is there a problem with that? "
"You …"
Li Yuanfang was so angry that his body trembled. He thought that Gu Xuan would try his best to cover up his "scheme". But he didn't expect that Gu Xuan would admit it directly.
"Shut up! I haven't finished my words yet. "
Gu Xuan rolled his eyes at Li Yuanfang.
"There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
If you don't sell the pills to make a profit, do you think that the ingredients, cauldrons, and all kinds of rare flames are easy to come by?
Don't tell me that the Li Family doesn't refine pills to make a profit, let alone me, Gu Xuan?
Then tell me, your Li Clan has such a profound foundation, your Li Clan's food, your clothes, and the ten medicinal cauldrons behind your back, where did you pick them up from? Northwest wind? "
"Pfft!"
Lu Jingjing covered her mouth and started laughing again below the stage.
With this, even the group of alchemists started laughing.
Although what Gu Xuan said was a little vulgar, the general direction was absolutely correct.
Refining pills, apart from improving Alchemy Dao, it was naturally to exchange for money.
Without money, how to refine pills?
While the ingredients could be found by oneself, what about the cauldron?
One could not very well learn how to refine artifacts before refining pills, right?
Didn't one still have to fork out money to buy it? Using medicinal pills to exchange?
Therefore, saying that Gu Xuan was making use of the pills to make a profit was seriously untenable.
Without benefits, honestly speaking, alchemists would not be gathered by Gu Xuan either.
The identity of an Alchemy Emperor did not have any cohesion.
