Elder Zi's eyes were filled with desire. Three Stars Emperor Level seemed to be only four realms away from Peak of Sect Level, but the difference in status was simply too much.
If Elder Zi was still in the Three Stars Emperor Level realm, then he would be an absolute hegemon here and even his The Four Major Sects would have to breathe on his nose.
After all, among the four sects, aside from their most shallow Ying Tian Sect s, any sect didn't have several tens or even dozens of Peak Master Level Martial Cultivator s hidden within them. After arriving at the Peak of Sect Level, the sects would spend all their resources to extend their lifespan so that they could attack the Emperor Level.
However, the Three Stars Emperor Level Martial Cultivator s were the The Top Expert s of this region. Even if they could fight against a sect alone, if they could not win, they could still leave safely.
Looking at the excited Elder Zi, Gu Xuan scoffed, and said indifferently: "Why would my master help you refine pills?"
Elder Zi was startled, his face changed. He had heard of alchemists before, there were a few in the central region of the continent, but why would someone of this level help him refine pills?
"Little brother, as long as you convince your master to help me refine pills, I will definitely help you gather the eight hundred thousand Fire Condensing Pill that you mentioned before!" Elder Zi hurriedly said.
"Eight hundred thousand Fire Condensing Pill?" Gu Xuan's face revealed a look of disdain, "Grandmaster of The Pill Dao's pill refining fees are all calculated using Heavenly Essence Pill, these Fire Condensing Pill used to buy the array formation that my master bestowed to me is not bad, but to have my master refine it, isn't that way too whimsical?"
He had always been curious how Gu Xuan was able to obtain such a tyrannical formation. Previously, he had thought that he had only obtained it by chance, but now, he heard from Gu Xuan that it was bestowed to him by his "mysterious master", which was extraordinary.
At this time, the only doubt in Elder Zi's heart was finally resolved, and he now believed without a doubt what Gu Xuan had said.
"Then whatever condition you want, as long as I can fulfill it, I will satisfy you." Elder Zi's face was full of pleading as he quickly replied.
"I want to protect me for half a year." Gu Xuan smiled faintly, looked at Elder Zi and said.
"Protect you for half a year? Is there anything else I need to do other than protect you? " The Elder Zi frowned, but did not refuse. Merely protecting Gu Xuan for half a year in exchange for recovering his cultivation level was also a very worthwhile thing.
"For this half a year, you have to stay by my side. Listen to my instructions, consider it as me driving you." Gu Xuan said again.
"What!" Anger surfaced on Elder Zi's face, with fury in his eyes, "You said I'm going to be driven by you? No matter what, I am still in the Peak of Sect Level realm, and am going to be your subordinate for half a year? "
"What, you're not satisfied?" Gu Xuan's face revealed a cold smile, "If that's the case, then I won't force you. At your level, go and find another Eighth Grade alchemist to help you recover. I hope you can pay the price of a few dozen Heavenly Essence Pill."
With that, Gu Xuan turned and left.
"Wait!"
Elder Zi was anxious again, he immediately called Gu Xuan over and said while clenching his teeth: "I am a senior expert after all. If I am given to you to order, wouldn't I lose all face?
"That's good too!" The sneer on Gu Xuan's face grew thicker, "Since you're not willing, then we'll collect the fees according to normal circumstances. If my master makes a move, it would be ten Heavenly Essence Pill, and of course, a hundred million Fire Condensing Pill would also be fine."
"This …" Elder Zi was stunned, his heart was filled with unwillingness.
A bullet that a Heavenly Essence Pill could only condense after their Martial Cultivator had broken through her Monarch Stage, how could he possibly have such a terrifying value?
As for Fire Condensing Pill, a large portion of Elder Zi's wealth was used to collect the spirit herbs needed to concoct the Inverted Qi Pill, he only had a few tens of thousands left on him. Furthermore, even if he did not purchase any spirit medicines, he would at most earn twenty to thirty million Fire Condensing Pill.
Gu Xuan looked at Elder Zi's expression and gave a heavy snort, "You have to pay any price for what you want. How could there be something so easy to deal with in this world? You let me drive it, do you think it's not worth it? My master has predicted that within ten years, I will definitely reach the Seventh Grade realm. At that time, even if you recover your Emperor Level, I might not even be able to look you in the eye! "
"Seventh Grade!" Elder Zi sucked in a breath of cold air. Seventh Grade Medicine Refining Master was someone who had already stepped into the upper echelons of the sect, he could add the word "big" to the alchemists, Alchemy Master!
Although this kind of person was not as rare as Eighth Grade alchemists, it was still comparable to the ranks of Peak Emperor Level alchemists. If it was at that time, with just a single word from Gu Xuan, he could make countless Emperor Level Martial Cultivator follow him;
"Alright, I'll let you drive it for half a year!" A flash of determination appeared in Elder Zi's eyes as he nodded his head helplessly. A former Emperor Level Martial Cultivator being the subordinate of a grandmaster alchemist wasn't something shameful.
"Very well, I am sure you will be glad of your decision." Gu Xuan grinned.
Yun Xi was in deep sleep and right now, she was at her weakest. Whether it was the other sects chasing after him or the trouble Jiang Zhaoyang had caused him, relying on the Elder Zi s, he could easily deal with them.
"Even though you wanted to be driven by me, I wouldn't really treat you as a follower. Other than obeying my orders when I need help, everything else is equal with me. I will only announce outside that you want to protect me. In half a year, I will beg my master to help you refine pills."
Gu Xuan said with a smile.
"Alright!" Only then did Elder Zi heave a sigh of relief. Gu Xuan had reached the fifth stage of the alchemist realm at such a young age, but his identity was not inferior to his. It was just that Gu Xuan was too young, which made him feel a bit stifled.
Since Gu Xuan had made such a promise, then it was for the sake of letting him not have to worry about it anymore.
After making an agreement with the Elder Zi, Gu Xuan also licked his lips, a look of anticipation on his face. Yun Xi had too many secrets on her body, so usually, Gu Xuan wouldn't dare to use his power, but this Elder Zi was different.
"Senior, I currently lack eight hundred thousand Fire Condensing Pill. I wonder if you have any way of getting them?" Gu Xuan pondered for a moment, then asked.
"Yes." Elder Zi nodded, his eyes filled with helplessness. This Gu Xuan's skin was really thick.
Previously, he said that the eight hundred thousand Fire Condensing Pill were not worth mentioning, but now that he had ordered it, the first thing he did was to obtain the eight hundred thousand Fire Condensing Pill.
