After the plan was decided, the Paragon of Pills regained his arrogant attitude.
He looked outside the door.
"Third Elder, Fifth Elder, Li Yuanjie, the three of you, come in quickly!"
The Paragon of Pills' tone was emotionless, as if he was in a superior position.
Although Gu Xuan could understand the Paragon of Pills' attitude, he couldn't help but curl his lips.
The third clan elder and the other two clan elders had been staying in a remote room in the ancestral hall.
The Li family's ancestral hall was now the Pill Saint's residence, and it was also an important place of the Li family. They didn't dare to wander around.
It could be said that there was no one else who dared to wander around here except for the Pill Saint.
Even Li Yuanhao, who was recognized as the next patriarch and the most likely contender for the position, didn't dare to act rashly in the ancestral hall.
Hearing the Paragon of Pills' summons, the three elders hurriedly followed the voice and came to the alchemy room where the Paragon of Pills and Gu Xuan were.
"Greetings, Lord Pill Saint!"
As soon as they entered the room, the three of them knelt down and bowed respectfully.
At the same time, they couldn't help but glance at Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan and the Pill Saint were both sitting at the jade table.
Gu Xuan's back was facing them, while the Paragon of Pills was facing them.
Looking at Gu Xuan's back, they were secretly surprised. They never thought that the Holy Guard would be sitting across from the Pill Saint.
It seemed that the Holy Guard was highly regarded by the Pill Saint, and the two of them must have a good relationship.
"Rise.
Let me introduce you to him. "
The Paragon of Pills pointed at Gu Xuan and smiled.
"This is actually not a Holy Guard, but my Junior Brother! He is the successor of the Eastern Wall's ancestor, and he has truly inherited the ancestor's legacy. Moreover, his legacy is even more complete than mine! "
The eyes of the Third Clan Elder, the Fifth Clan Elder, and Li Yuanjie all widened in astonishment.
"The Pill Saint's Junior Brother?
The successor of the Eastern Wall's ancestor? "
This news was too shocking.
After the shock, only excitement remained on the faces of the three elders.
No wonder this lord was so powerful that he didn't seem like a Holy Guard at all. He was actually the successor of the Eastern Wall's ancestor! His heritage was even more complete than the Pill Sage's! Didn't that mean that the person in front of him had the potential to become a new Pill Saint that was even better than the Pill Saint?! With his help, the Li family's crisis this time would definitely be easily resolved! "The descendant of the Eastern Jade Wall's ancestor, I have to grab hold of this opportunity!"
Li Yuanjie's mind raced. Taking advantage of the fact that the third and fifth elders had yet to react, he prepared to kneel down and kowtow.
"However, how to address him is a problem.
I remember that Lord Pill Sage used to call him 'Ancient Sacred Guard'. From this, it can be seen that his surname is Gu.
The surname Gu was an ominous surname.
But he is the descendant of the Eastern Wall's ancestor. Even if his surname is Gu and his name is Xuan, I will still have to flatter him! "
With a thought, Li Yuanjie knelt on the ground with a thud.
However, before he could kowtow, Gu Xuan had already turned around.
Dong dong.
The third and fifth elders' legs went soft, and they also knelt down.
They were shocked to the point of no return. They pointed at Gu Xuan, their entire bodies trembling.
"Gu … Gu …" They couldn't even say the word "Xuan".
"It seems that everyone knows me. That's good. It saves me the time to introduce myself.
You don't have to bow anymore. Get up. "
Gu Xuan had a teasing smile on his face. Of course, he knew that the third and fifth elders were scared to kneel down.
His eyes fell on Li Yuanjie's face, and he joked, "I didn't expect that you have the ability to predict the future.
I haven't even turned around, and you have already knelt down.
Good, I have faith in you! "
Gu Xuan got up, walked in front of Li Yuanjie, and patted him on the shoulder.
Li Yuanjie was so scared that he almost fainted.
Beat him to death, he would never have thought that the person who had always been walking together with him would actually be Gu Xuan, this kind of malefic star.
This was the sworn enemy of the Li family. How could he suddenly change from a sacred guard to a true disciple of the Eastern Wall's ancestor?
"Alright, get up. Look at how useless you all are.
Gu Xuan is indeed a true disciple of the Eastern Wall's ancestor. He is my junior brother. I have confirmed this.
It's a pity that we met too late. Otherwise, how could there have been so many misunderstandings in the past?
But no matter how big the misunderstanding is, it is still a misunderstanding. Once it is resolved, there will be no more hatred.
My junior brother has already apologized to me. Do you think I will still be entangled in the past? "
The Venerable of Pills said calmly, as if she was a magnanimous person.
The corner of Gu Xuan's mouth twitched a few times.
The Venerable of Pills was full of schemes. He didn't see this clause in the previous agreement.
This Young Master apologizes to you?
You are the one who begged me for cooperation, okay?
You are the one who should apologize.
You actually turned the situation around. Shameless! Gu Xuan glared at the Venerable of Pills and cursed in his heart.
The Paragon of Pills' expression was as calm as ever. It was as if she really was an elder who had lived to the twilight of her life and had seen through everything. Her state of mind was completely unperturbed.
"Now, the Li family and Echo Heaven Sect should repair our relationship and be on good terms.
Let bygones be bygones.
We are facing a great enemy, so we should unite and face it together.
Get up first! "
The Venerable of Pills waved her hand, and a gentle force fell on the third elder and the other two elders.
The three of them rose to their feet, but they still couldn't stand steadily.
The shock they felt today was more than they had ever felt in their lives.
"I didn't call you in here to kneel. I have an important task for you.
The Li family's ancestral land is in danger. There are not many clansmen guarding the ancestral hall. Everyone has their own task.
Only you three are free.
So, I want you to go to the practice room behind the ancestral hall and call Li Yuanhao over.
He is in seclusion, and ordinary methods won't be able to wake him up. Take this sacred pill of mine and wake him up. "
The Paragon of Pills waved her right hand, and a white pill that emanated a faint fragrance and swirled with mysterious energy flew out of her sleeve and landed in front of the third elder.
"Understood!"
The three of them obeyed.
Whoosh! The Sacred Elixir flew out, obviously leading the three of them.
The three of them hurriedly followed it out of the pill refining room and into the practice room.
When the three of them were completely gone, the Venerable of Pills' face revealed a trace of exhaustion.
"Using these three as a starting point to reveal your identity is indeed a good idea.
After all, you've walked with them and protected them all this time.
It's easiest for them to accept you, and it's also easiest for them to spread their trust in you.
Ah, it's good to be young. Your brain works much faster than mine.
Right now, I'm out of breath even if I want to walk faster.
Everyone thinks I'm noble and equal to the Heavenly Dao.
But who knows that in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, I'm just a lackey to be used?
If he wants to kill me and take the Pill Saint's Heart, he doesn't even need to do it himself.
He only needs to send a few subordinates to force me into eternal damnation. "
The Venerable of Pills' voice was filled with helplessness and unwillingness.
Gu Xuan shook his head slightly, a trace of pity flashing through his eyes.
"That's because you're not a true Pill Saint.
You're only a Pill Saint's Heart. The 'false Pill Saint' you created is at most a half-step Pill Saint.
If you want to use the power and privileges of a Pill Saint, you have to pay a price.
If you're a true Pill Saint, who can touch you without the Heavenly Dao's intervention? "
Gu Xuan's words were blunt.
"A true Pill Saint or a false one is fine.
In the end, I can refine sacred pills, but you can't! What right do you have to sympathize and pity me? "
The Venerable of Pills didn't feel awkward at all.
When a person was about to die, as long as they didn't feel awkward, others would feel awkward.
Who could bicker with someone about to die?
Gu Xuan choked, but didn't argue.
This was the Venerable of Pills' last shred of dignity and stubbornness.
Moreover, as the Venerable of Pills had said, he, who couldn't refine sacred pills, didn't have the right to pity someone who could! Those who climbed the mountain didn't have the right to pity a god who descended.
Even if this god had never truly reached the peak, only stood at the foot of the mountain.
But he'd still stood at a position higher than her.
"There's one more thing."
Gu Xuan changed the topic. He hadn't forgotten the most important thing on this trip.
"You have to give me the two sacred pills we agreed on before, right?"
Four words flashed through Gu Xuan's mind — the Heaven Pilfering Sacred Pill! This was the most important reason he'd come to the Li Family!
