Elder Zi's eyes were filled with longing. The difference between a three-star Martial Emperor and a peak Martial Emperor was only four realms apart, but the difference in status was too great.
If Elder Zi was still a three-star Martial Emperor, he would be an absolute overlord here. Even the four major sects would have to look up to him. However, although the four major sects valued a peak Martial Emperor, they wouldn't pay too much attention to him.
After all, among the four major sects, except for the Ying Tian Sect, which had the weakest foundation, all of them had a dozen or even dozens of peak Martial Emperors. After reaching the peak Martial Emperor level, the sects would use all their resources to extend their lifespan so that they could break through to the Martial Emperor level. Therefore, among the four major sects, the majority of Martial Emperors were peak Martial Emperors.
However, a three-star Martial Emperor was the strongest in this area. Even if he fought a sect alone, he could leave safely even if he couldn't win.
Looking at the inexplicably excited Elder Zi, Gu Xuan sneered and said lightly, "Why would my master refine pills for you?"
Elder Zi was slightly stunned and his expression changed. He had heard of Alchemy Grandmasters. There were some in the central region of the continent. However, why would someone of this level refine pills for him?
"Little brother, as long as you persuade your master to refine pills for me, I will definitely help you gather the eight hundred thousand Condensing Fire Pills you mentioned before!" Elder Zi quickly said.
"Eight hundred thousand Condensing Fire Pills?" A trace of disdain appeared on Gu Xuan's face. "Alchemy Grandmasters refine elixirs, and their fees are calculated in terms of Heavenly Primary Elixirs. These Fire-condensing Elixirs can be used to buy the array that my master gave me, but isn't it too whimsical for my master to refine elixirs?"
Elder Zi's body shook and his face showed some surprise. He had always been curious about how Gu Xuan could have such a powerful formation. He thought it was just a coincidence, but now that Gu Xuan said it was given to him by his "mysterious master," it was extraordinary. An expert who could casually give out such a level of cultivation method was definitely the work of an Alchemy Grandmaster.
At this moment, the only doubt in Elder Zi's heart was solved. He now believed Gu Xuan's words without a doubt.
"Then what do you want? As long as it's within my ability, I will satisfy you." Elder Zi quickly said with a pleading face.
"I want you to protect me for half a year." Gu Xuan smiled lightly and said to Elder Zi.
"Protect you for half a year? Other than protecting you, is there anything else I need to do? " Purple Elder frowned, but he didn't refuse. Just protecting Gu Xuan for half a year in exchange for recovering his cultivation was also a very worthwhile thing.
"You must stay by my side during this half a year and listen to my arrangements. You can be considered to be my subordinate." Gu Xuan continued.
"What?!" Anger appeared on Purple Elder's face, his eyes blazing with fury. "You're saying that I'll serve you? No matter what, I'm at the peak of the Zong Realm. Do you want me to be your subordinate for half a year? "
"What? You're not satisfied?" A cold smile appeared on Gu Xuan's face. "Since this is the case, I will not force you. Go and find other Tier 8 alchemists to help you recover your cultivation base. I hope you can afford the price of dozens of Heavenly Yuan Elixirs."
After saying that, Gu Xuan directly turned around and left.
"Wait!"
Elder Zi panicked again and hurriedly stopped Gu Xuan. He clenched his teeth and said, "After all, I'm a senior expert. If I let you order me around, wouldn't I lose all my face? Remove this condition and change it to something else!"
"Alright!" The cold smile on Gu Xuan's face deepened. "Since you don't want to, I'll charge you according to the normal situation. My master will charge you ten Heavenly Yuan Elixirs every time he acts. Of course, one hundred million Fire Condensing Elixirs is also acceptable."
"This …" Elder Zi was stunned and his heart was filled with unwillingness.
Heavenly Yuan Elixirs were pellets that could only be condensed when a warrior broke through to the Emperor Realm. Its value was terrifying. How could he have it?
As for the Fire Condensing Elixirs, most of Elder Zi's wealth was used to collect the elixirs needed to refine the Universe Reversal Elixir. Now, he only had a few tens of thousands left. Moreover, even if he didn't buy the elixirs, he would at most have twenty to thirty million Fire Condensing Elixirs.
Gu Xuan looked at Purple Elder's expression and snorted heavily. "You have to pay the price for what you want. How can there be such an easy thing in the world? Do you feel that it's not worth it to be ordered around by me? I'm not even eighteen years old yet, but I'm already a Tier 5 alchemist. My master said that I'll reach Tier 7 within ten years. At that time, even if you recover your Emperor Realm, I may not even look at you! "
"Tier 7!" Elder Zi gasped. A Tier 7 alchemist was already at the next level. One could add the word "great" to the title of alchemist. Alchemist Grandmaster!
Although this kind of person wasn't as rare as a Tier 8 alchemist, his status was comparable to that of a Peak Emperor Realm figure. At that time, Gu Xuan could make countless Emperor Realm warriors follow him with just one word. He might not even look at Purple Elder Zi.
"Alright, I'll let you order me around for half a year!" Elder Zi's eyes flashed with a trace of determination. He nodded helplessly. As a former Emperor Realm warrior, it wasn't a shameful thing to be the subordinate of a Grandmaster Alchemist's disciple.
"Very good. I believe you'll feel lucky about your decision." Gu Xuan grinned.
Yun Xi was in a deep sleep. He was now at his weakest. Whether other sects were hunting him or Jiang Zhaoyang was looking for trouble, Elder Zi could easily deal with them.
"Although you'll be ordered around by me, I won't really treat you as a follower. You'll listen to my orders when I need help. You'll be equal to me. I'll only say that you'll protect me outside. After half a year, I'll ask my master to help you refine pills."
Gu Xuan said with a smile.
"Good!" Elder Zi breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Xuan had reached Tier 5 alchemist at such a young age. In fact, his status wasn't inferior to his. It was just that Gu Xuan was too young, which made him feel aggrieved.
Since Gu Xuan had made such an agreement, he didn't have any scruples.
After making an agreement with Elder Zi, Gu Xuan licked his lips. There was a trace of expectation in his eyes. Yun Xi had too many secrets, so Gu Xuan didn't dare to use his power. However, Elder Zi was different. He could use his power to the maximum.
"Senior, I'm short of 800,000 Condensing Fire Pills. Do you have any way to get it?" Gu Xuan pondered for a moment and asked again.
"Yes." Elder Zi nodded. His eyes were filled with helplessness. This Gu Xuan was really shameless.
