The True Pill Dao!
"What did you say?" Zong Qi's face was terrifyingly dark as he stared at Gu Xuan with killing intent.
He, Zong Qi, was a Grade 4 alchemist who dominated the alchemy world of the Great Desolate Empire. Yet, someone dared to say that he did not know what pill refinement was. Moreover, these words came from someone who was not even an alchemy apprentice.
Zong Qi was so angry that he laughed, "Little guy, today you will tell me what pill refinement is and broaden my horizons."
If there was anyone else present, they would have been scared witless by Zong Qi's words. Zong Qi, who had always thought highly of himself, had actually called himself an inferior alchemist. Clearly, he was extremely furious.
"Inferior alchemist, you think too highly of yourself." Gu Xuan shook his head and sneered. If Zong Qi did not provoke him, he could not be bothered with him. However, if he was angered, someone like Zong Qi could not even be considered an inferior alchemist.
The corners of Zong Qi's mouth twitched violently. He was only being sarcastic when he said that he was an inferior alchemist. However, Gu Xuan actually dared to say that he was not even an inferior alchemist. Just how arrogant was he?
At this moment, Zong Qi had already made up his mind. After he figured out Gu Xuan's background, he would definitely kill him. Moreover, he would even suppress Gu Xuan's family. Even if Gu Xuan cried and begged him, it would be useless.
"Open your dog eyes and watch carefully. This is the true pill refinement!"
Gu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back. His body actually emitted a majestic aura that belonged to an alchemy grandmaster.
"Fire, come!"
Gu Xuan placed his hands behind his back as a bone-white flame gushed out from the top of his head. The flame, which was the size of a baby's fist, grew to the size of a head and burned fiercely.
Once the flame is born, everything in the world is in my hands!
At this moment, Gu Xuan seemed to have become the ruler of all things in the world. The fire god in the sky and the power of the world revolved around him.
"Mysterious Spirit Fruit!"
Gu Xuan shouted again as the two fruits that he carried with him flew into the flame. Gu Xuan closed his eyes and only controlled the flame to refine.
A moment later, these two fruits turned into a ball of crystal clear medicinal liquid.
"Pa!"
Gu Xuan casually flung the medicinal liquid onto the ground and coldly said, "Go and lick it!"
At this moment, Zong Qi's eyes were already dim. When he heard Gu Xuan's order, his body only paused for a moment before he actually lay on the ground, wanting to lick the medicinal liquid.
"Bang!"
Gu Xuan's kicked Zong Qi's shoulder. Zong's Gu Xuan. Zong Qi, Zong Zong Qi, and Zong Qi, Zong Qi...
Retracting the flame back into his body, the originally overwhelming aura instantly dissipated, and Zong Qi also woke up. Recalling what had happened just now, he was already drenched in cold sweat.
Just how vast of a person's Spiritual Strength was to be able to make him lose his mind? Just how strong was his Alchemy ability to be able to refine a Tier 4 Spiritual Medicine out of thin air?
At this moment, what Zong Qi felt was not humiliation, but excitement. This was the excitement that came from an alchemist's pursuit of alchemy.
A Grade 4 Alchemist may be highly sought after in the secular world. However, it was only limited to a small place like the Great Desolate Empire. In the mainland, even Grade 5 and Grade 6 Alchemists did not dare to talk about the Dao of Pills.
Just a moment ago, he felt that he was very close to the legendary Dao of Pills. Gu Xuan was the Dao of Pills!
"Plop!"
Without any hesitation, Zong Qi directly knelt in front of Gu Xuan with a sincere face, "Please accept me as your disciple. Zong Qi will serve you wholeheartedly."
Gu Xuan glanced at Zong Qi and casually said, "What benefits do I get from accepting you as my disciple?"
Zong Qi was stunned. His face dimmed. What help could he give Gu Xuan if Gu Xuan accepted him as his disciple? Furthermore, their ages would cause the gap between their cultivation levels to widen. He simply did not have the qualifications.
"I'm being delusional." Zong Qi sighed.
"However, I still have use for you. Be my follower. If not for the special circumstances, you don't even have the qualifications to be my follower." Gu Xuan casually said, "If it was in the past, even if a Grade 5 or Grade 6 Alchemist wanted to be my follower, I wouldn't even bat an eye."
"Zong Qi greets Master!"
Zong Qi was stunned. He respectfully kowtowed three times on the ground. As for Gu Xuan's words, he did not doubt them at all.
Even a Grade 7 Alchemist Master might not be able to master the Dao of Pills, let alone a Grade 5 or Grade 6 Alchemist.
However, this young man in front of him had mastered it. Even a Grade 7 Alchemist would have to bow down to Gu Xuan.
"I'll be your assistant in the future." Gu Xuan nodded. He was very satisfied with Zong Qi's attitude. He wanted to take in a follower. Even though he was only using Zong Qi to refine pills for a short period of time, he would not hesitate to make Zong Qi lose this opportunity if Zong Qi showed even the slightest bit of reluctance.
"Master, be my assistant, this …" Zong Qi was stunned. His face was filled with fear. He knew what kind of existence his master was. Be his assistant?
"This is just a cover-up. Do you really want me to be your assistant?" Gu Xuan sneered. Previously, he did not want to reveal his identity and pretended to be Zong Qi's assistant. Now that he had displayed his strength, there was no need for that.
"Of course, I don't dare." Zong Qi quickly said as he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
"You can't reveal my current identity to anyone. Otherwise, I will kill you personally!" Gu Xuan said solemnly.
"I won't dare to betray Master!" Zong Qi's expression froze. He was already a Revered Realm expert while Gu Xuan was only a Xuan Realm expert. However, he did not doubt the authenticity of Gu Xuan's words. Just now, when he was distracted, he was easily manipulated by Gu Xuan. Gu Xuan could easily take his life.
Although he was prepared and would not be in such a situation again, a person like Gu Xuan would have other means. Moreover, he needed Gu Xuan's Alchemy Dao. How could he harm Gu Xuan?
An Alchemy Grandmaster like Gu Xuan would definitely have a strange temperament. Since he did not want others to know his identity, he would definitely not allow him to reveal it. If he went against Gu Xuan, he would end up in a miserable state. Zong Qi was not a fool.
"Alright, follow me out and explain the situation. Remember, I am your assistant now." Gu Xuan nodded and walked out of the door.
Zong Qi quickly opened the door and walked out side by side with Gu Xuan. His originally cold face was now filled with smiles as he introduced the situation of the Alchemy Pavilion.
The apprentices who were fearful of Zong Qi almost dropped their jaws when they saw this scene. Is this still the bad-tempered Master Zong Qi?
