Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor Yan, please restrain yourself; your elder brother is truly hones

With an excited roar, the Nether Sea Flood Dragon lowered its body and placed its head three inches in front of Zhang Yuan, its eyes filled with fervor: "Your subordinate greets the Lord of the Manor. Please bestow upon me your dragon energy, and I will be utterly loyal and even keep an eye on Old Man Jia for you."

Everyone: "."

Jia Xingtian: "."

Is this sixth-tier magical beast still worth keeping?

Chapter 135 Pill King Guhe: I will never become a disciple!

"Hehe, you have a good eye."

Zhang Yuan was amused by the decisive action of the Nether Sea Flood Dragon and reached out to place his hand on its head.

"Don't resist. I'll send you into the Void Dragon Pearl that I control. You can absorb dragon energy inside to your heart's content until you complete your bloodline advancement."

The Mirage Dragon Pearl?

Yun Yun and the others silently recited the name in their hearts, and couldn't help but think of the scene when Medusa suddenly disappeared earlier. They guessed that she had been teleported into this bead.

As expected of Zhang Yuan, who has a mysterious background, he certainly has many tricks up his sleeve.

Zhang Yuan, unaware of everyone's thoughts, had already activated the Taixu Realm for teleportation.

The Nether Sea Dragon Beast immediately felt its body enveloped by a spatial teleportation force, but it did not resist.

The next moment, it was transferred to the Void Realm and appeared within the dragon energy clouds above the Gravity Peak.

"Roar!!!"

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, the Nether Sea Dragon Beast was somewhat wary, but after inhaling a large amount of dragon energy, it directly lost its ability to speak.

Dragon energy, all around it is dragon energy, it is now in a sea of ​​dragon energy.

With the help of this dragon energy, it can not only repair all injuries, but also advance its bloodline.

It has been stuck at the peak of the sixth rank for a long time. Once its bloodline advances, its strength will also advance quickly.

At that time, he will be a seventh-order Nether Sea Flood Dragon!

The Nether Sea Dragon Beast decisively entered a state of swallowing and spitting.

Inside the council hall of the Mo City Lord's Mansion, although everyone was prepared, they were still somewhat astonished to see the Nether Sea Flood Dragon suddenly disappear.

"It will probably take a few days. Once it has completed its transformation, I will release it," Zhang Yuan said to Jia Xingtian.

"Great!" Jia Xingtian clenched his fist excitedly.

Once the Nether Sea Flood Dragon's bloodline advances to the seventh rank, he will unleash the royal family's resources and do everything in his power to help it break through.

Once the royal family possesses a seventh-tier guardian magical beast comparable to a Dou Zong powerhouse, their status and competitiveness within the Nine Abyss Prefecture, as well as their position against the surrounding empires, will be greatly enhanced.

Zhang Yuan picked up his teacup, his smile unchanged, and asked, "Next?"

"I'll go first." Seeing that Yun Yun didn't seem to be in a hurry, Gu He didn't offer too much politeness and asked, "Young friend, why did you send someone to summon me here?"

He was an alchemist, and normal people would ask him to refine pills, so he assumed that Zhang Yuan would also use the favor he owed him.

Hearing that Jia Xingtian needed the Hunyuan Bone-Sculpting Pill only reinforced this idea in his mind, but Zhang Yuan did not do so.

"I'm not looking for you to do anything," Zhang Yuan said with a smile. "I just want to offer you a fortuitous opportunity."

Gu He was taken aback upon hearing this: "Give me an opportunity?"

If someone else said that, he would think it was a joke.

As a sixth-grade alchemist, Gu He was not only renowned in the Jia Ma Empire, but also a guest of honor in some surrounding empires and forces, possessing a powerful network of connections.

As long as he agrees to refine pills, he is giving others a chance. Who would give him a chance?

But the person speaking is Zhang Yuan, whose background is mysterious, whose strength and talent are monstrous, and who has connected the Yunlan Sect, the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire, the Nalan family, the Mittel family, and the Snake-People Clan in a short period of time. That's a different story.

But he grew increasingly curious: he and the other person were not related, so why would the other person offer him such an opportunity?

"Master Guhe, you've been a sixth-grade alchemist for a while now, haven't you?" Zhang Yuan asked instead of answering, his smile friendly.

“It’s been almost ten years.” A look of reminiscence flashed in Guhe’s eyes.

"How many decades does one have in a lifetime?" Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Master Guhe, would you like to break through to the seventh rank?"

Gu He's breath hitched, and his mind trembled as he asked, "The opportunity you speak of, young friend, could it be something that can help me become a seventh-rank cultivator?"

Guhe was not stupid; on the contrary, he was very clever. Just by recalling the previous conversation, he guessed what Zhang Yuan was going to do.

"Sigh~"

Yun Yun and the others were also on edge.

A seventh-grade alchemist is someone even a Dou Zong powerhouse would fawn over; a guest of honor for top-tier forces on the continent; and someone all forces in the Northwest Continent would try to win over.

Even if the royal family's Nether Sea Dragon Beast successfully advances to a higher level, it still has to be polite to a seventh-grade alchemist.

If Zhang Yuan can even do something like this, it's far more terrifying than helping them all become Dou Zong.

“Sure.” Zhang Yuan nodded. “I can use my connections to get you a master alchemist. With his guidance, I guarantee you’ll break through to the seventh rank within five years, and the eighth rank isn’t impossible.”

Generally speaking, an alchemist needs to have the strength of a Dou Huang to refine a sixth-grade pill, a seventh-grade Dou Zong, and an eighth-grade Dou Zun. However, alchemists with strong talents, such as Xiao Yanzi and Gu He, can refine sixth-grade pills even though they are at the peak of the Dou Wang level.

Therefore, Gu He might not be unable to refine seventh-grade pills at the peak of Dou Huang level, and he could refine low-grade eighth-grade pills at the peak of Dou Zong level.

Following the original trajectory, Xiao Yanzi destroyed the Yunlan Sect and became a Dou Huang in a year. After that, he left the Jia Ma Empire and spent seven or eight years becoming a peak eight-star Dou Zun. He returned to the Xuanhuang Fortress to face forces such as the Shi Ming Sect. At that time, Gu He, who was the head of the Yan Alliance Dan Hall, was already a Dou Zong and a seventh-grade alchemist.

In other words, relying on Gu He's own talent, and with the help of the Yan Alliance, which has gradually developed into one of the top three forces in the Northwest Continent, he can become a Dou Zong and a seventh-grade alchemist in about ten years.

If he could receive guidance and instruction from the old alchemist, along with his own resources, it would be entirely possible for him to become a seventh-grade alchemist within five years.

This is not only an affirmation of Guhe's talent, but also an affirmation of Yao Lao's and his own abilities.

"Become an apprentice!?"

Guhe and the others were surprised once again.

What level of alchemist can guarantee that a sixth-grade alchemist can break through to the seventh grade within five years?

"Young friend, I cannot agree to this." Gu He resolutely refused.

Given Zhang Yuan's current strength and capabilities, he had no doubt about the truthfulness of the other party's words.

Moreover, as a sixth-grade alchemist, he could definitely sense whether a stronger alchemist could guide him to improve, so Zhang Yuan had no reason to lie to him.

Even though there was a better future ahead of him, he couldn't agree to it.

This wasn't out of arrogance, but because he had reasons for not being able to agree.

"You won't agree?" Zhang Yuan was somewhat surprised that Gu He refused so readily. "You don't want to break through to the Dou Huang realm as soon as possible, you don't want to know more pill formulas, and you don't want to become a seventh-grade alchemist as soon as possible?"

"If you take one step faster, you'll be fast at every step. If you become a seventh-grade alchemist sooner, you can accumulate resources and break through your strength more quickly, thus reaching the eighth grade."

"You may not know this, but as a sixth-grade alchemist, you should be able to sense that in order to refine an eighth-grade pill, you need to elevate your soul to another level, and this requires a soul secret technique."

"These things are readily available to you as long as you are willing to become an apprentice."

Because Gu He was talented and of good character, he was willing to offer more advice.

If Guhe could become Yao Lao's disciple, it would benefit both of them and bring them closer together.

Would Furukawa refuse such enormous benefits?

“Young friend, you don’t need to persuade me anymore.” Gu He shook his head and said, “A gentleman knows what to do and what not to do.”

"Even if I can't improve my soul realm to become an eighth-grade alchemist, or even a seventh-grade alchemist, I will never take a master."

“It’s not that I, Guhe, am arrogant, but I have my reasons for not becoming an apprentice.”

At this point, Gu He paused and said, "If you don't mind, young friend, I can join the Nine Abyss Palace just like Sect Master Yun Yun and Elder Jia."

"I believe a sixth-grade alchemist should be able to earn the source points and mission points you just mentioned. If they accumulate enough, they should also be able to exchange for guidance from high-level alchemists, as well as methods to enhance their souls, right?"

Zhang Yuan was somewhat surprised.

He could tell that Guhe wasn't being arrogant.

In particular, the final addition shows that Guhe guessed that his so-called "opportunity" was an attempt to win him over, and that being willing to join Jiuyuan Mansion was a way of showing goodwill, recognition, and commitment.

But this surprised him even more.

Why would Guhe choose the more difficult path when there's a shortcut like becoming an apprentice?

"Master Guhe, I don't need to elaborate on how amazing it is that he can guide you to break through to the seventh rank of high-level alchemist within five years. If you can become his disciple, you will definitely benefit. I believe you can understand that."

"I don't think you're an arrogant person. I wonder why you're unwilling to become my disciple?"

Zhang Yuan wasn't trying to offer any specific advice; he was simply curious.

"It's not that this past is something that can't be talked about."

Guhe lowered his head and pondered for a moment before recounting his past.

He has an older brother named Gutt, and the two brothers have relied on each other since childhood.

Thanks to Gutt's hard work in earning money, he was able to study at a martial arts school when he was young, and became a fighter at the age of fifteen, which shows that he has good talent.

Inside the martial arts school, a member of a collateral branch of a local small family was studying there. Jealous of his talent, he led a group to surround and ambush him in order to obtain the position of a disciple of a Grand Master. He was forced to jump off a cliff, but he unexpectedly had a lucky encounter and discovered the cave left behind by a senior expert.

The senior called himself Dan Chenzi, a sixth-grade peak alchemist from Zhongzhou. He traveled to the Northwest Continent following in the footsteps of his idol, the Medicine Venerable. During his travels, he became enemies with a Douhuang poison master in the Chuyun Empire. The other party brought several Douwang to cause him trouble. He killed them all, but he himself was also poisoned by an incurable poison.

At the end of his life, he left behind a high-level Xuan-rank fire-attribute cultivation technique, several Xuan-rank fire-attribute combat skills, and all the knowledge a sixth-grade alchemist had acquired throughout his life, waiting for a destined person to receive it.

If someone is able to inherit his mantle, he hopes that the other person will have the opportunity to fulfill his unfinished wish and travel the entire Dou Qi Continent along the path of his idol.

At the end of his autobiography, Dan Chenzi wrote a lot about the deeds of the Medicine Venerable, expressing extreme admiration and inspiring people to yearn for such a life, believing that a wandering cultivator should be like him.

When he became a Fighter, he tested his Battle Qi attribute, which was fire with a trace of wood. He had the potential to become an alchemist, depending on whether his soul power could meet the requirements.

Having inherited Dan Chenzi's skills, he tried alchemy while recuperating from his injuries. Unexpectedly, he had a great talent and quickly mastered the basics, thus beginning his "legendary" life.

"In my heart, Senior Dan Chenzi is my teacher. I owe all my achievements to him, so I will not take a second person as my teacher," Gu He said solemnly.

The legacy left by Dan Chenzi changed his life, giving him everything he has today. In his heart, there will always be only one master, Dan Chenzi.

What he didn't say was that more than twenty years had passed since he became an alchemist. After becoming a Dou Wang and a sixth-grade alchemist, he wanted to go and fulfill Dan Chenzi's last wish, but he was delayed because he saw Yun Yun.

He has decided that once he breaks through to the Dou Huang level, he will formally confess his feelings to Yun Yun. If she accepts, he will stay in the Jia Ma Empire to develop his career. If she rejects him, he will venture out to the Dou Qi Continent and look for an opportunity to become a seventh-grade alchemist.

Joining Zhang Yuan's Jiuyuan Mansion would not affect his plan.
