"Lu Chen, I have taken note of this matter, and once you have gone to the Haotian Secret Realm, I will start investigating it, so rest assured. I kept you here because there is actually sothing else I want to discuss with you," said Gui Zhuo, who had formulated a rough plan. Yet clearly, there was no evidence at present, and he suspected that the other party probably planned to wait until Lu Chen and the others had gone to the Haotian Secret Realm and Danyang Zi had entered seclusion once more before acting.
Lu Chen straightened up, "Third Elder, please speak!"
"Though Elder Chongjiu is of a gentle disposition, his discernnt is not poor, and he is not one to misjudge others. Since he could take you, a cultivator with a Five Elents Spirit Root, as his disciple and wish to pass on to you his entire knowledge of Artifact Refining, it is clear that you must have so unique qualities," Gui Zhuo paused for a mont before continuing, "I have ntioned it before, would you be willing to learn the art of Alchemy from ?"
Lu Chen’s heart leapt with joy, but he also knew that agreeing directly would inevitably an owing favors in the future. He could only show a troubled expression, "Third Elder, I am already struggling to find ti to learn Artifact Refining, how can I also study Alchemy? I have a Five Elents Spirit Root, and my master said that if I want to break through this realm, I must authenticate my cultivation through Artifact Refining!"
At this point, he deliberately released his aura.
"Eh?"
Gui Zhuo’s eyes lit up, "Mid Foundation Establishnt? You were only at the early stage of Foundation Establishnt yesterday, and I didn’t see any signs of you making a breakthrough!"
Lu Chen, having prepared his explanation, said, "It was quite baffling to as well. After joining the sect, my master let glance over the essentials of Artifact Refining, then helped temper my spear. I watched closely by his side, and sohow, I inexplicably made a breakthrough today!"
"Genius, you are definitely an Artifact Refining genius," Gui Zhuo beca excited at once, not because Lu Chen had reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishnt, but because he felt an extraordinary Fire Essence within Lu Chen’s released aura, "Lu Chen, Artifact Refining and Alchemy are essentially two sides of the sa coin! Following in Alchemy will certainly not delay your Artifact Refining! And have you considered that not only can you authenticate your cultivation by the forr, but you can also do so through the latter, giving you an additional path on the Immortal Path to pursue!"
Lu Chen was not worried about this; he simply desired to learn Alchemy and also to see if there was an opportunity to steal the Fire Essence from here!
"Third Elder, you think too highly of . My breakthrough was muddled at best, perhaps just good luck? Let’s forget about Alchemy..."
Seeing Lu Chen still refusing, Gui Zhuo grew anxious. From his bosom, he drew out so of the pills that he had previously refined, "Lu Chen, take a look at these pills, what do you think?"
"These pills... they sll wonderful!"
Lu Chen took a deep breath and praised aloud. In truth, he again detected that faint whiff of decay, although it had beco much more subdued than before.
"Do you know how many Spirit Stones you could get for such pills if you sold them?" asked Gui Zhuo.
"How many?"
Lu Chen followed up on Gui Zhuo’s words.
"This bottle of pills is worth at least this amount!"
He held up a single finger.
"One hundred?"
"One thousand!" Gui Zhuo said with a proud smile. "What do you think about this pill?"
"It seems to be of good quality."
Lu Chen inspected it carefully, not using the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique.
"It’s refined by , so naturally, it’s not too shabby. This pill, I’ll give to you. However, Lu Chen, you should not consu this pill. Rember, anyone may consu it, but you must not!"
Lu Chen was startled. Not for to consu?
Decay would also harm the soul. Gui Zhuo had given the pill and instructed not to consu it...
"Third Elder, what kind of pill is this?"
Lu Chen collected his thoughts and stuffed the pill into his storage bag.
"If you follow in learning the Alchemy Technique, you will be able to refine pills like this one in ti!"
He felt that Lu Chen had beco interested, possibly because of the thousand Spirit Stones.
One thousand Spirit Stones were enough to buy the life of a Foundation Establishnt cultivator!
Lu Chen knew it was about ti, so he spoke earnestly, "Third Elder, shall I give it a try?"
"Hahaha, yes, of course you can try! However, with the Haotian Secret Realm approaching, you should prioritize your cultivation. As for Alchemy... you can have a look at this booklet when you have free ti!"
With that, he tossed a book to Lu Chen, who hastily caught it. On the cover were inscribed the bold words "Hateful Heaven Alchemy Manual"!
Seeing the first two characters, Lu Chen stood as if petrified!
