Hearing Gu Xuan's voice, Mu Ling was completely stunned. Her gaze turned towards Gu Xuan with a face full of astonishment, as if she couldn't believe her own ears.
Outside the pavilion, Chen Lang's face was full of anger as he scolded, "Brat, who do you think you are? Now that you're putting on an act, what's the point? What's the identity of my cousin? You dare to insult him? You're courting death!"
"Shut up!" Chen Hong suddenly shouted out coldly.
Chen Lang was startled, and turned to look at Chen Hong, only to realize that the latter's face was extremely gloomy, with even a hint of anger and despair mixed within.
Anger seemed to be towards him, that despair …
"Gulp!"
Chen Lang backed off and swallowed his saliva, "You kicked an iron board?" How can this be possible, Tang Tang is the tenth ranked Mountain And River List, but he actually went to the Pill Dao Pavilion to work as a servant, this doesn't make sense. "
"Bastard!" Chen Hong was already infuriated, he slapped Chen Lang hard on the face, the huge force directly caused Chen Lang's eyes to go black, and his brain went blank.
Previously, he felt that Gu Xuan and Mu Ling were extremely close, and he even asked about Gu Xuan's background. Didn't they say that Gu Xuan was a new student who came to the Pill Dao Pavilion to work as a servant?
"Senior Brother Gu Xuan."
After taking in a deep breath, Chen Hong tried to normalize his expression as much as possible before walking forward.
He was ranked 33rd, and during Gu Xuan's challenge, he had just passed through this stage, directly challenging the 30th place Gu Qin. Thus, he had not fought with Gu Xuan before.
But just because they had not fought, did that not mean he did not know how terrifying Gu Xuan was.
All of the top thirty, top twenty, and even the top ten disciples lost to him.
In the Desolate Ruins, he seized number one courageously, and a total of 197,000 Treasure Point came to his rescue. Facing Luo Yi's threats, he directly insulted him, and even made the number one Mountain And River List, Zhao Mayi, fall out with him.
Although the two of them were from Heavenly Academy Academy, the difference was like heaven and earth.
And now, his younger cousin had actually provoked such a person and even forcefully pulled him over to give him a hand. Thinking about this, Chen Hong felt a bit of a headache, provoking this evil star was even more terrifying than provoking the number one Mountain And River List, Senior Brother Zhao.
Seeing his cousin walk towards the pavilion respectfully, Chen Lang's last remaining hope was completely dashed. He could only follow behind in a daze.
"Kneel!"
Walking in front of Gu Xuan and Yue Yang, Chen Hong turned his head to look at Chen Lang and shouted angrily.
Putong.
Without any hesitation, Chen Lang directly knelt on the ground, his face ashen.
Chen Hong lowered his head and shot a glance at Gu Xuan from the corner of his eyes. He discovered that the latter's face was completely unperturbed and his heart was in even more panic, but he still braced himself and said, "Senior Brother Gu, this younger cousin of mine actually dares to offend Senior Brother. He really deserves to die.
"Give you face? Do you have any face? " Gu Xuan started laughing coldly. If he was truly angered, even the Emperor would not hesitate to do so. He would not give a mere thirty odd Mountain And River List face.
Chen Hong's face became even more unsightly, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll let you deal with whatever you want, Senior Brother."
"Alright!" Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Chen Lang: "From today onwards, you don't have to come to Yingtian Institution anymore."
"What!" Chen Lang fell limply to the ground.
His greatest honor was to have become a member of the Yingtian Institution. Just this status had greatly increased the status of his parents in the clan, and if he was kicked out of the Yingtian Institution, the consequences would be something he didn't dare to accept.
When he thought about it, Chen Lang's anger soared to the top of his head, and he bellowed at Gu Xuan, "What makes you think that I won't come with Yingtian Institution? I'm a student of the academy, and you're just a student of the academy.
"Shut up!" Chen Hong frowned, and bellowed.
"I won't shut my mouth. I just want to say it. If you want to please him, I don't believe he has the ability to do so!" Chen Lang suddenly stood up and roared at Gu Xuan: "You are indeed strong, but no matter how strong you are, you are still a student. You don't have the ability to make me leave the academy!"
Pow!
Chen Hong was infuriated and slapped Chen Lang viciously in the face, "Do you think you're not completely dead? Do you think that Senior Brother Gu, who isn't a teacher, can't let you leave the academy? Stupid! "
If I say that he wants to expel you, he won't hesitate at all, let alone the Senior Brother Gu. He will kill you right here and now, and he won't receive any form of punishment! "" No need to say that. Chen Hong coldly snorted.
Chen Lang was completely stunned, until now, he was only able to see the gap between him and Gu Xuan.
As a Heavenly Academy disciple, Chen Hong was already on equal footing as his master, or even on the same level. As Gu Xuan was the tenth on the Mountain And River List, even his master would have to be respectful to him if he saw him.
"Scram." Glancing at Chen Hong, Gu Xuan said blandly.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Gu!" Chen Hong bowed to Gu Xuan respectfully and then pulled Chen Lang along as they walked out of the pavilion.
After the two of them left, only then did Mu Ling regain her senses, and she let out a long breath, as the gaze she used to look at Gu Xuan with became extremely complicated.
She had never thought that Gu Xuan, who she had never seen before, would actually be a top student of Heavenly Academy. She had thought that Gu Xuan was very ordinary at first, but what she saw was Gu Xuan's ability to refine pills.
Looking at Chen Lang's ashen face, Mu Ling could not bear it anymore. She said to Gu Xuan: "You directly let Chen Lang leave the academy, isn't that a little too …"
"A little too extreme?" Gu Xuan laughed.
"Yes." Mu Ling nodded her head, "It's not like he made any big mistakes, but you giving him such strict punishment is just a bit too much. In my opinion, why not let him reflect on it for two months?
"I have the strength now, so it doesn't look too serious. But what if I don't have the strength?" Gu Xuan looked at Mu Ling, and said slowly.
The latter was startled, but Gu Xuan then said: "If I did not have the strength, then I would not have been able to have a peaceful death today. You will be harassed by Chen Lang, and I am afraid I will get beaten up and lose all my face."
"Well, maybe I'm being too kind." Mu Ling nodded her head helplessly.
"It's not a question of whether or not we're kind, it's just that the way we think is different." Gu Xuan laughed as he shook his head.
Mu Ling who had always stayed in the academy did not understand how serious the law of the jungle was outside. A weak person could be killed if they angered a strong practitioner with a single word.
Gu Xuan was even more so, although this Chen Lang did not commit many sins, Gu Xuan's judgement, was not based on how many evil deeds the other party had done, but based on his own preferences.
Some people even scolded him. He could choose to curse back, or choose to kill him, or choose to exterminate his entire family and slaughter his entire family.
It's just a matter of personal preferences, not of morality, not of good or evil.
For example, if Chen Lang had committed such a small mistake, it would have been fine if he had given him a small punishment. There was no need to cut off his future prospects.
But since Gu Xuan has the strength, he can do whatever he wants. Since you made me unhappy, then I will make it hard for you to forget it for the rest of your life.
This was the meaning of the word 'transcendent'. It was to set the rules!
"Right." Mu Ling suddenly widely opened her eyes, and spoke to Gu Xuan in dissatisfaction: "Since you have such a strong ability, why do you need me to teach you how to refine pills, you relied on the Martial Cultivator's path to become extraordinary, what's the point of refining pills?"
"Eh, this seems like you were the one who forced me …" Gu Xuan rubbed his nose and said.
"Seems to be so …" Mu Ling's face reddened. Only now did he remember back then, Gu Xuan had indeed said that he didn't want to refine pills, but he had insisted that Gu Xuan had talent in pill refining and had stupidly forced Gu Xuan to refine pills.
After the two of them left the Heavenly Academy, they headed straight for the Pill Dao Pavilion. Mu Ling continued to go back to organize the spirit medicines, while Gu Xuan found Zong Qi and explained the matter of him wanting to buy the spirit medicines.
Although the latter was not interested in buying elixirs, he still had to refine new pills for himself. This way, he would be able to learn a few more refining techniques from Gu Xuan.
Zong Qi had always been famous for his sternness, and would never have any good expression when it came to treating disciples. But now, he was actually walking out, side by side with a young man, talking and laughing, which made people feel that it was really hard to believe.
"Master... Gu Xuan, if we go and buy spirit medicine, we don't have to go to the Beichen Trading Company, we can definitely buy them from there. " The two of them walked towards the exit of the academy. Zong Qi suddenly thought of something and spoke to Gu Xuan.
"Directly go to the Hall of Healing to buy them?" Gu Xuan raised his brows, "The Hall of Healing is also selling spiritual medicines, isn't this the organization that is supposed to gather alchemists?"
"What you said is not bad, but that is only during normal times. Recently, the Hall of Healing has been convening a convention for the Pill Dao, which means, an exchange meeting, so there is no need to go to the Beichen Trading Company." Zong Qi explained and was startled. Zong Qi then said: "However, to participate in this auction, you must at least reach the first tier alchemist level. At that time, you must go and take the examination.
What a joke! Gu Xuan has mastered the art of alchemy. It's easy to become a Tier 1 alchemist." What a joke! Gu Xuan has mastered the art of alchemy! It's easy to become a Tier 1 alchemist!
"Sure, then take me to the assessment first." Gu Xuan casually nodded, allowing him to heave a sigh of relief.
"Exam an alchemist huh …"
When he was refining pills in his previous life, he had long ago left his Great Desolate Empire and thus did not participate in the alchemist examination.
But now, he had grasped the Pill Dao and was going to take the test for a Grade One Alchemist. This was truly a hilarious matter.
"It doesn't matter whether I directly take the first rank alchemist exam or whether I take the fourth rank Third Grade exam to shock them?" Gu Xuan started to ponder in his heart. If he were to directly take the Third Grade Alchemist examination, the entire Great Desolate Empire would boil.
