Challenge all of them!
After Zong Qi's introduction, Gu Xuan realized that the task he needed to do was very simple. It was nothing more than helping to sort out the spiritual herbs. Moreover, this task was mainly handled by Mu Ling. In fact, Gu Xuan was just a helper of a helper.
When Zong Qi sent Gu Xuan to Mu Ling and told her that Gu Xuan had successfully stayed, Mu Ling's mouth was wide open in shock. As Zong Qi's disciple, she knew how strict her master was. Even though she had become a grade two alchemist at such a young age, she was still unable to satisfy the former.
As for those apprentice alchemists, Zong Qi's requirements were so strict that it made one's hair stand on end.
Many grade one alchemists were chased away because they could not meet the standards. However, Gu Xuan, who was not even an apprentice alchemist, had actually succeeded in staying. Moreover, from her master's expression, he seemed to be very satisfied with Gu Xuan.
This made Mu Ling a little surprised. However, since Gu Xuan had succeeded, she could only accept it. Although she still did not understand what method Gu Xuan had used to achieve this.
After Zong Qi left, Mu Ling began to introduce Gu Xuan's task.
"These are the spiritual herbs that my master needs to refine. They are stored in the spiritual herb warehouse. Our responsibility is to ensure that the spiritual herbs in the warehouse do not leak out." Mu Ling explained to Gu Xuan, "Of course, you are mainly my master's assistant. If my master wants to refine any pill, he will need you to prepare the required spiritual herbs."
"Okay." Gu Xuan nodded. The most difficult part of this task was to understand the medicinal properties of the various spiritual herbs and take note of them. For ordinary people and even grade one alchemists, it was not easy. How could these basic things be difficult for Gu Xuan, who was an alchemy grandmaster?
"Slowly familiarize yourself with the attributes of these spiritual herbs." Mu Ling handed over a book, "This book records the general knowledge of spiritual herbs. Take a closer look."
Gu Xuan shook his head and did not reach out to take it, "I am already familiar with these, there is no need to continue familiarizing myself with them."
Mu Ling glanced at Gu Xuan in surprise. Soon after, she came to a realization. Gu Xuan was not an alchemist, but he had obtained her master's approval. It was probably because Gu Xuan was familiar with spiritual herbs.
Mu Ling pondered for a moment before saying, "Since you are already familiar with spiritual herbs, it means that your memory is not bad. This also means that your Spiritual Force is not low. If this is the case, you should have the potential to become an alchemist!"
"Forget about becoming an alchemist." Gu Xuan shook his head.
"How can that be?" Mu Ling furrowed her brows and said unhappily, "Even though you're old and have missed the best time to learn, as long as you work hard, you can still become an alchemy apprentice. Since you're already here, spending four hours a day in the Alchemy Pavilion, won't it be a joke if you don't know how to refine pills?"
Mu Ling didn't give Gu Xuan a chance to speak. She made up her mind and said, "From today onwards, I will teach you some alchemy knowledge every day. You must learn."
"Alright." Gu Xuan could only nod his head helplessly. Since the time he spent in the Alchemy Pavilion was fixed, it was not bad to have a beauty to relieve his boredom.
Although Gu Xuan was not a playboy, as a normal man, if there was a beautiful woman accompanying him, he would not refuse.
…
Four hours later, Gu Xuan stretched his back and walked out of the Alchemy Pavilion with a special smile on his face.
"This lass is kind-hearted. She explained so much about the basics of alchemy to me."
Gu Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Mu Ling's seriousness. As an alchemy grandmaster, he actually had to learn alchemy from the beginning. Furthermore, he was being taught by a mere Tier 2 alchemist. This was truly a comical situation.
If Mu Ling knew that the person she was teaching so earnestly was the Alchemy Emperor, who dominated the world with his alchemy skills, he wondered what kind of expression she would have. She would probably be shocked. However, she probably wouldn't have the chance to find out in her lifetime.
During the period when Gu Xuan was away, the news of him being 'defeated' by Chu Lin had spread. It became the topic of ridicule for many elite students in the Heavenly Court.
A new student directly entering the Heavenly Court was an honor that was usually given to the most monstrous geniuses. For example, Zhou Juechu from two years ago not only stabilized his position in the 78th place, he even defeated the 62nd place student and advanced his ranking. In just a year, he broke through to the Honorable Realm.
Gu Xuan also entered the Heavenly Court as a new student. However, compared to Zhou Juechu, he was much weaker. He entered the Heavenly Court by conquering Shanhe City. In the eyes of these people, he was just an opportunist.
On the other hand, Gu Xuan's position was even higher. He was ranked 53rd. Under countless preferential treatment, Gu Xuan actually lost to Chu Lin. This was truly unworthy of his reputation.
When Gu Xuan returned to the 131st pavilion, he found that two people had already challenged him. They were ranked 158th and 165th respectively.
"Accept!"
Without any hesitation, Gu Xuan chose to accept both of them.
When the two elite students found out that Gu Xuan had accepted the challenge, they were delighted. 100 treasure points was something that they had to accumulate for a long time to obtain. However, as long as they defeated Gu Xuan, they would be able to obtain the equivalent of a few months of accumulation.
At this moment, it wasn't just the two who were excited. From 132nd to 51st, all the elite students except Chu Lin were excited.
This was because Gu Xuan had challenged a total of 79 people at the same time.
"Eh, Gu Xuan's challenge? I'm ranked 92nd. Gu Xuan actually wants to challenge me. I accept! "
"What's going on? This Gu Xuan has eaten a leopard's guts. He actually dares to challenge me? Since he's giving me treasure points, then I, Wang Hu, will accept it! "
"Humph! This Gu Xuan just lost to Chu Lin yesterday and actually wants to challenge me. I'm ranked 130th, even higher than Chu Lin's! "
Almost everyone chose to accept Gu Xuan's challenge when he issued it.
100 treasure points was also a huge sum of money in the hands of these elite students. This was especially so for those who were ranked 50th and below. 100 treasure points were accumulated over a long period of time.
However, when these people discovered that Gu Xuan had actually challenged so many people at the same time, they also lost their excitement. After all, Gu Xuan's treasure points were limited. At most, only a few people had a chance to win. Once Gu Xuan ran out of treasure points, the challenge would be voided. Although the challenge could be carried out in a month's time at the latest, where could Gu Xuan go to obtain so many treasure points in a month's time?
In less than half a day's time, all the challenged chose to accept the challenge. A trace of a smile also appeared on Gu Xuan's face. Now, it was also time to harvest the treasure points.
