"What did you say?" Zong Qi's face was terrifyingly gloomy, her eyes staring straight at Gu Xuan, revealing killing intent.

He, Zong Qi, was a dignified Grade Four Alchemist, a person who dominated the Great Desolate Empire and alchemy world. Now, there was actually someone who said that he did not even know what it meant to refine pellets, and these words had come from someone who was not even an apprentice alchemist.

Zong Qi was so angry that he started laughing, "Little guy, just tell me what it means to refine pills today, and it will broaden my horizons as a trash alchemist."

If there were other people around, they would have long been scared pale by Zong Qi's words. Zong Qi, who usually thought highly of himself, actually called himself a mixed type of alchemist, obviously becoming extremely angry.

"Trash alchemist, you think too highly of yourself." Gu Xuan shook his head and sneered, if this Zong Qi did not provoke him, then he would be too lazy to bother about his, but if he got angry, a trash like Zong Qi would not even be considered a normal alchemist.

The corner of Zong Qi's mouth twitched. To claim that he was just an inferior alchemist, that was just an irony. To think that Gu Xuan actually dared to claim that he wasn't even an inferior alchemist, just how arrogant was he?

At this moment, Zong Qi had already made up his mind. After he figured out this Gu Xuan's profound strength, he would definitely kill him, and even suppress Gu Xuan's family.

Open your dog eyes wide and look, this is the true pill refinement!

Gu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, and emitted a vast and mighty aura that only the Grandmaster of The Pill Dao had.

"Fire!"

Gu Xuan held his hands behind his back, bone white flames gushing out from the top of his head. The flames were as big as a baby's fist, and had turned into the size of a human's head, burning fiercely.

Once the fire is born, everything in the world will be in my hands!

At this time, Gu Xuan seemed to have already become the master of all things in the world.

"Profound Spirit Fruit!"

Gu Xuan let out another low shout, and the two fruits on his body flew into the flames. Gu Xuan closed his eyes, and only controlled the flames to refine them.

After a short moment, the two fruits turned into a ball of glittering and translucent medicinal liquid.

"Pa!"

With a casual toss, that ball of medicinal liquid was thrown to the ground. Gu Xuan said coldly: "Go and lick it!"

At this moment, Zong Qi's eyes were already dejected. Hearing Gu Xuan's order, his body only paused for a moment, and then unexpectedly laid on the ground, wanting to lick that lump of medicinal liquid.

"Bam!"

Gu Xuan kicked out and kicked Zong Qi's shoulder, causing the latter to fall to the ground and roll a few times. Then, he coldly snorted: "The medicinal liquid I refined, you don't even have the qualifications to lick it."

After he withdrew the flame into his body, the originally mighty aura instantly dissipated. Zong Qi also regained his senses, and thinking back to what happened just now, he was already drenched in cold sweat from fright.

Just how vast was the Soul Power that could cause him to be absent-minded, and just how strong was his ability to refine medicine to be able to refine Tier 4 spiritual herbs out of thin air.

At this moment, what Zong Qi felt was not humiliation, but excitement. This came from the excitement an alchemist had towards the Pill Dao.

A Grade Four Alchemist could be sought after in the secular world, but that was only limited to a small place like Great Desolate Empire. On the continent, even alchemists of the fifth stage of Six Grades would not dare to speak carelessly of Pill Dao.

And just now, he felt that he was already extremely close to the legendary Pill Dao.

"Plop!"

Without any hesitation, Zong Qi directly knelt in front of Gu Xuan, with a face full of piety: "I request master to accept me as his disciple. Zong Qi will definitely serve master with all his heart."

Gu Xuan glanced at Zong Qi, and said indifferently: "What benefits does accepting you as a disciple have to me?"

Accepting him as a disciple, how could he help Gu Xuan? Furthermore, the age of the two of them would also cause the difference in their cultivation levels to become greater and greater. He simply did not have the qualifications to do so.

"I was delusional." Zong Qi sighed.

"However, I still have a use for you. You should be my follower. If it weren't for the special circumstances, you wouldn't even be qualified to be my follower." Gu Xuan said indifferently, "If it was before, even if it was a fifth grade Six Grades alchemist, if they wanted to be my follower, I would not spare them a glance."

"Zong Qi greets Master!"

Zong Qi trembled, and respectfully kowtowed three times. As for what Gu Xuan had said, he didn't doubt it at all.

Not to mention a fifth grade Six Grades, even a Seventh Grade alchemist wouldn't necessarily be able to grasp the Pill Dao.

Now that the youngster in front of him had grasped it, even Seventh Grade Medicine Refining Master would have to lower his head to Gu Xuan's side.

"I'll be your assistant from now on." Gu Xuan nodded, he was also very satisfied with Zong Qi's attitude, he wanted to accept followers. Although it was only using the latter to concoct pills for a short period of time, if the latter was even slightly unwilling, he would unhesitatingly make Zong Qi lose this chance.

"Master is my assistant, this …" Zong Qi was startled, his face full of fear. Did he know what kind of existence the master he had just sworn to be, was going to be his assistant?

"Doing this is just a deceptive act. Do you really want me to be your assistant?" Gu Xuan said with a sneer. Previously, he did not reveal his identity and pretended to be Zong Qi's assistant, but now that he displayed his strength, there was no need for that.

"Of course I don't dare." Zong Qi wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead and quickly said.

"You can't reveal my identity to anyone, or else I'll kill you myself!" Gu Xuan said.

"I would never dare to betray Master!" Zong Qi's expression became serious. He was already an expert in Sovereign Level and Gu Xuan was only in Profound Level, but he did not doubt the truth of what Gu Xuan had said in the slightest. Not to mention what happened just now.

Although he was on guard and would not encounter this kind of situation again, for a person like Gu Xuan, who said that he would have no other methods. Furthermore, he needed Gu Xuan's Pill Dao, so how could he possibly harm Gu Xuan?

Grandmaster of The Pill Dao like Gu Xuan would definitely have a weird temperament. Since he didn't want others to know his identity, he definitely wouldn't allow them to leak it out. If they did, the outcome would be miserable, and Zong Qi wasn't a fool.

"Alright, come out with me and explain the situation. Remember, I'm your assistant now." Gu Xuan nodded and headed out the door.

Zong Qi immediately opened the door and walked out side by side with Gu Xuan. On his originally cold and stern face, there was actually a bit of a smile piled up as he introduced the situation of the Pill Dao Pavilion.

The students who were officially afraid of Zong Qi and were like tigers, upon seeing this scene, nearly dropped their jaws. Was this still the hot-tempered Master Zong Qi?

When did it become so easy to talk?
