C54 Acceptance
When Liu Shen arrived at Qi Tai's pill cultivating room, he discovered that Xuan Lao had long since disappeared, and Qi Tai was the only one who was busy organizing the spirit medicine.
"Master, where's old man Xuan?" Liu Shen asked somewhat anxiously.
"The transaction between us has already been completed. Previously, I purposely delayed him when he was buying things. According to your speed, we should have bumped into each other. What, did you not see?" Qi Tai frowned.
"Did you just leave?" Liu Shen was startled, "There is only one path out of the trading company, could it be that I have not met the small path that Xuan Lao took before?"
"That's probably because you don't have the luck." Qi Tai shook his head.
Liu Shen clenched his fist with a face full of unwillingness, but even after racking his brains, he could not find any trace of Xuan Lao, and on the road that he had to pass, he only encountered Gu Xuan.
"Gu Xuan?"
Thinking about Gu Xuan's smile, Liu Shen suddenly had a strange feeling, after thinking about it, Gu Xuan and the mysterious Xuan Lao seemed to have some sort of resemblance, as though they were slowly fusing together.
"It seems that I was disappointed for a moment, and even my brain was a little muddled." Liu Shen shook his head. Although he was masked by Xuan Lao, how could a person whom even his own master respected be related to Gu Xuan?
"Maybe Xuan Lao wants to continue testing me and will give me pointers in the future." Liu Shen comforted himself.
...
After Gu Xuan returned to the Gu Family, he walked straight to the spirit medicine field and entered Old Man Gui's small house.
"Big Brother, I … Sigh, I don't have the face to see you anymore. " Old Man Gui looked at Gu Xuan with a face full of shame.
He could tell that Gu Xuan and his son had been in danger before, but he had still not decided whether or not he should act. In the end, he did not dare to help Gu Xuan, so he simply left, resigned to his fate.
Although Gu Xuan won in the end, he still felt guilty.
"I don't blame you." Gu Xuan shook his head.
"Is this the truth or a lie?" Old Man Gui looked at Gu Xuan suspiciously.
"Yes." Gu Xuan nodded his head, since the Old Man Gui was sent by Old Third, then the latter would not dare to take action, which was within Gu Xuan's expectations.
Gu Xingyun had entered the sect at the age of fourteen, while Li Xieyun and Mo Jingyun had become his disciples at the age of seven or eight. He understood the temperament of these two.
The third disciple, Li Xieyun, was not only respectful to himself, but also had an evil personality. If he was angered, even his two senior brothers would turn hostile, and as for Li Xieyun's subordinates, they would not dare to disobey his orders.
"Sigh, even though you don't blame me, I am still very guilty. What do you need my help with right now, even if I pass on a one star Strength of Fire to you, I will not refuse." Old Man Gui patted his chest and said.
Gu Xuan laughed, and then opened up the package on his body, revealing the spirit medicine inside: "I am not a wicked person, and I will not grow up to help. You feel that you owe me, so help me refine all these pills, and help me complete one task at a time."
Looking at the huge pile of spirit medicine, Old Man Gui's eyes flashed with a trace of light.
Previously, when Gu Xuan had succeeded in refining the Spirit Opening Pill with him, it made him feel that he was very close to the realm of a Grade Four Alchemist. Now that Gu Xuan also had so many pills for him to refine, he was almost certain that he would be able to break through to the Fourth Rank!
Gu Xuan took out the Heaven Replenishing Pill's ingredients first and said: "You can refine these three stalks of Heaven Replenishing Pill first."
"Alright." Old Man Gui nodded his head and without further ado, he summoned out his fire and began refining the pill.
After last time's guidance, Old Man Gui's ability to refine pills had clearly been raised. Although it was only a Third Grade pellet, refining it smoothly and naturally was already quite difficult.
In reality, the Old Man Gui's talent in pill refining was not considered low, it was just that he was forbidden from using his Gu Family, so he did not have the chance to refine pills at all.
Gu Xuan then found a random place to sit down and took out the God Refining Stone to examine it.
With a wave of his hand, Ice Soul Cold Flame was summoned out of his body and injected into the God Refining Stone.
Ka ka!
The Ice Soul Cold Flame's devouring power poured into the stone, causing the surface of the divine refining stone to immediately crack.
The God Refining Stone could be used to recover the soul, but it could not increase the origin of the person. Yun Xi's consciousness could automatically absorb the stone, so she did not need Gu Xuan's help.
In a single day and night, Old Man Gui had refined three Third Grade Heaven Replenishing Pill, and he was already drenched in sweat from exhaustion. However, it was difficult to conceal the excitement in his eyes.
After placing the Heaven Replenishing Pill in Gu Xuan's hands, Old Man Gui was preparing to refine more pills, but Gu Xuan stopped him.
"Speaking of which, are you interested in taking a disciple?" Gu Xuan asked.
"Accepting a disciple?" Old Man Gui was startled, "I know a lot about you, my best disciple is you, the key is that your pill refining ability is higher than mine, your cultivation speed is also faster than mine, and you are my big brother, you definitely aren't trying to recruit me right?"
"My father wanted to acknowledge you as his master, so you can just treat it as buying from me." Gu Xuan shrugged helplessly.
"That's not a problem either. I just happen to have nothing better to do since I have nothing else to do." Old Man Gui nodded his head straightforwardly.
"Mm …" "You taking in my dad as your disciple is nothing, but seniority problems can't be messed with, right? If I'm your big brother, but my dad becomes your disciple, then wouldn't that mean I'm a generation older than my dad?" Gu Xuan muttered to himself.
"That's true." Old Man Gui said very straightforwardly.
Gu Xuan thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "How about this, you take in a disciple for your generation, and let my father continue to be a generation older than me?"
"Well, that's a good idea." Old Man Gui nodded in agreement, and then his old face darkened.
If he was a generation older than him, then wouldn't that mean that he would have to take in a disciple with his own grandmaster? If he took in a disciple, that would be fine too. But in the end, this disciple even became his own martial uncle for no reason?
What the heck was this …
Under the strong opposition of the Old Man Gui, Gu Xuan gave up on this idea and decided to take in a disciple on behalf of his master. In that case, Gu Tianmo could be considered his master's disciple and would only be taught by his senior brother, the Old Man Gui.
Gu Xuan introduced his father to Old Man Gui. When Gu Tianmo heard that Old Man Gui wanted to take in a disciple on his master's behalf, although he knew that this was to balance seniority, he still felt overwhelmed by the favor.
As for Gu Xuan, in order to avoid embarrassment, he took away the three Heaven Replenishing Pill and left the spirit medicine field.
Old Man Gui was a King Level Expert, he was more than enough to teach his own father.
Gu Tianmo seemed to be very satisfied with the fact that the Old Man Gui took in disciples as master, allowing him and Gu Xuan to continue to be in the same generation. However, how would he know that the relationship between Gu Xuan and the Old Man Gui was not at all some so-called master and disciple, but rather the big brother of the Old Man Gui?
