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

Yun Yun and the others immediately looked at Gu He with newfound respect.

I never expected that this legendary alchemist had such a past.

"I see."

Zhang Yuan also appreciated Gu He's character even more.

People who can stay true to themselves in the face of huge profits are very admirable.

But at the same time, there was a strange look in his eyes.

If Guhe knew that the person who wanted to take him as a disciple was Yao Chen, whom he and Dan Chenzi both greatly admired, how would he choose?

Chapter 136 The old apothecary was shocked to hear of Han Shanshan! A rebellious disciple who defied his master?

“If it’s because of lineage, I respect Master Guhe’s decision,” Zhang Yuan said approvingly.

Gu He felt a sense of relief; he didn't want to offend this mysterious young man.

“If you find me useful, young friend, I can join the Nine Abyss Prefecture to serve you,” Gu He said proactively.

"Master Guhe joined without first learning about the situation in Jiuyuan Prefecture. Aren't you afraid of being treated poorly?" Zhang Yuan laughed.

"Sect Master Yunyun and Elder Jia have already joined, so I think Jiuyuan Prefecture must be a power I want to climb up to." Gu He said these nice words, but his tone was sincere.

He didn't really know Jiuyuan Mansion, but he did know Yun Yun, Jia Xingtian, and Medusa.

Yun Yun is someone who values ​​the Yunlan Sect more than her own life, and is willing to give everything for the sect. Jia Xingtian is in a similar situation with the Jia Ma Empire, and Medusa is even more so with the Snake People.

Yet these three individuals, who are the leaders of their respective factions, are all willing to join the Nine Abyss Palace, which speaks volumes.

Not to mention that Zhang Yuan immediately offered to introduce him to an excellent teacher who could help him break through to the seventh rank within five years.

With such a background, although he cannot become an apprentice, it does not mean that he does not want to have this opportunity.

"Master Guhe is indeed a man of few words." Zhang Yuan put down his teacup and said, "There's no rush to join the Nine Abyss Palace. I'll take you to a place first, and then you can decide whether to become an apprentice. How about that?"

"Isn't this a bit too complicated?" Gu He smiled somewhat awkwardly.

He didn't expect Zhang Yuan to still be unwilling to give up. Was he not clear enough in his explanation?

His charm and value aren't that great, are they?

"Consider it as me using up this favor." Zhang Yuan took out the jade token.

“There’s no need for that.” Gu He immediately shook his head and said, “It’s just going to one place, so please do as you say, young friend.”

He didn't think there were any conditions that would entice him to become an apprentice.

If it were true, Zhang Yuan wouldn't need to use it to win him over.

"Please wait here for a moment."

Zhang Yuan nodded to Yun Yun and the others, and then led Gu He into the Taixu Realm.

"So this is the interior of the Mirage Dragon Pearl?"

Guhe felt the energy of heaven and earth around him suddenly become several times stronger, especially the fire attribute energy, and he was secretly shocked.

He calmly surveyed his surroundings, but was soon drawn to a blue lotus growing on lava not far away, and his pupils dilated in shock.

"This is... the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame!?"

As a sixth-grade alchemist, Gu He could not possibly have been unaware of strange flames, and he even knew quite a bit about some of them.

He never expected that Zhang Yuan not only possessed a strange fire, but also cultivated one within the strange treasure space. What incredible resources he had!

If news of this strange fire were to spread, it would be enough to make some seventh-grade or even eighth-grade alchemists fight tooth and nail for it, not to mention that even a sixth-grade alchemist like himself would be extremely tempted.

Could it be that Zhang Yuan's trump card for persuading him to become his disciple is this strange fire?

“Young friend, I admit I am very tempted by this strange flame. I am willing to give anything in exchange for it, as long as it is within my power. However, I am sorry, I still cannot agree to your request to become my disciple.” Gu He reluctantly looked away from the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame and turned to look at Zhang Yuan with a resolute expression.

Zhang Yuan looked completely bewildered: ?

I'm sending you a strange fire to invite you to become an apprentice of an eighth-grade alchemist.

Do you think you're my dad?

This ancient river is quite ordinary.

"puff!"

A burst of laughter came from the side.

Zhang Yuan turned his head with a dark face, then smiled "kindly" and said, "Little Yanzi, what are you laughing at?"

"I'm so happy to think that I'll soon have a junior brother." Xiao Yan trembled and immediately suppressed his smile.

But Yao Chen's smile remained unchanged as he said, "Young Yuan, this situation seems different from what you described."

Zhang Yuan once said that Gu He would be very enthusiastic whenever he heard that he could become Gu He's disciple.

However, the person involved now claims that he refused to become Zhang Yuan's disciple even after Zhang Yuan offered him a strange fire, which is quite a discrepancy.

"Senior, that's because I haven't told Gu He your identity yet." Zhang Yuan was somewhat speechless.

He didn't want to reveal Yao Lao's situation too early before Venerable Feng arrived.

It wasn't fear, he just didn't want to get entangled in trouble and attract the attention of the Soul Clan too quickly.

As a transmigrator with Xun'er as his girlfriend, he is fully capable of overturning the table with the Soul Clan.

After all, if he were willing to plead, he could definitely meet Gu Yuan, one of the strongest people on the continent, through Xun'er.

When the time comes, take out Xiao Yun's remains, and use the excuse of obtaining a portion of Hun Mieyan's memories to reveal a lot.

For example, the fact that Void Devouring Flame obtained the abilities of the Devouring Spirit Clan; the locations of many Soul Devouring Life-Severing Arrays on the continent; and within the ancient clans and other imperial clans, many Battle Saint level experts have already been "possessed" by the Soul Clan using the power of Void Devouring Flame.

With Gu Yuan's strength, he could easily verify his statement. When the time came, he could inform the other imperial clans, who would definitely not mind uniting to destroy the Soul Clan and eliminate this huge hidden danger.

If he plays it this way, he will have to face someone like Gu Yuan, which may not be a good thing. The benefits he can get from the plot will be far less, and he will not be qualified to find other women besides Xun'er. He might even have to bear the title of the number one gigolo in the mainland.

So he'll try his best to survive, but he won't compromise himself; he'll pretend when necessary.

The news about Yao Lao might attract the attention of the Soul Palace's Dou Zun, so it's best to play it safe for now.

"You really have a lot of faith in me," Yao Lao chuckled.

Zhang Yuan said that if Gu He knew his identity, he would immediately bow down and prostrate himself before him.

"boom!"

Gu He was overjoyed and knelt down before Yao Lao.

Medicine Dust: ?

Zhang Yuan and Xiao Yan: "."

"You, you are Senior Medicine Venerable!?" Gu He asked, his voice trembling.

"You recognize me?" Yao Chen asked, somewhat surprised.

Based on his age, Guhe had only been in the entertainment industry for a short time when he went missing.

“I recognize you, I recognize you. I have a portrait of you.” Gu He took out a portrait from his storage ring, somewhat flustered, and said, “This was purchased by my master Dan Chenzi when he was traveling in Zhongzhou. It is said that it was secretly painted by a master painter at the Pill Competition in your Holy Pill City. It is priceless.”

The old doctor was surprised. With a thought, he activated his spatial power and took the painting into his hands.

Upon seeing the above content, he first smiled, but quickly froze, his hands trembling.

"Teacher, what's wrong?" Xiao Yan asked immediately, stepping forward to look at the painting.

The content is simple: a young man is refining pills with a medicine cauldron in his hand, while colored lightning appears in the sky.

The young man bore a striking resemblance to the old doctor, probably resembling him in his youth.

Not far from the young man, there was a woman in a pink and white dress, only her profile was painted, but it was certain that she was a rare beauty.

"She," the old apothecary reached out and stroked the woman's profile in the painting, feeling a tremor in his soul.

He tried to recall information about the other person, but his mind was blank; there was nothing there.

"Teacher, do you know her?" Xiao Yan asked immediately.

He could tell that the old doctor's loss of composure was because of the woman in the painting.

"I think I should get to know her," the old apothecary said uncertainly.

He had no memory of that face, but he felt a strange sense of familiarity and heartache.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan had a guess in his mind. He stepped forward and glanced at the contents of the painting, paying particular attention to the woman in the painting.

"This person should be Han Shanshan," Zhang Yuan said.

He never expected that he would meet this person who was so important to Yao Lao today.

Han Shanshan can be considered Yao Chen's teacher. She possesses the unique ability to communicate with ancient Dou Di and has a physique that is compatible with the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.

Yao Chen, Feng Xian, and Han Shanshan once traveled together to the Fallen God Ice Plains in search of strange fires. They discovered that the Bone Spirit Cold Fire was unexpectedly powerful, not only having developed sentience but also nurturing other strange fires as tonics.

In order to grow stronger, the Bone Spirit Cold Flame devoured Han Shanshan's soul. In order to save her, Yao Chen sacrificed his body to activate the Medicine Emperor bloodline inheritance, temporarily gaining the power of a Dou Zun. He successfully erased the consciousness of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame and handed the strange flame over to Han Shanshan.

Han Shanshan was unwilling to see Yao Chen disappear for her sake, so through Yao Chen's bloodline, she communicated with the Medicine Emperor across the river of time, sacrificing herself and the Bone Spirit Cold Fire to ask the Medicine Emperor to help her across time and space. In the end, she left behind a Bone Spirit Cold Fire engraved with her own soul imprint, while her own soul was trapped by the shackles of time, never to fall into reincarnation.

After the sacrifice, Yao Lao and Feng Xian forgot all their memories of her, and learned about the past from outsiders.

After Han Shanshan "disappeared," Yao Chen spent his time either refining medicine or spacing out. Although he had feelings for Xuan Yi, Hua Yu, and Hu Jiu Jiu, who were in love with him, he was unable to open his heart to them. It wasn't until Xiao Jinghou, Han Shanshan's master who was nearing the end of his life, gave him his medicine refining notes that he decided to take the initiative to find Han Shanshan. To this end, he left the Pill Tower and founded the Starfall Pavilion.

Throughout his life, Yao Lao was born into an imperial family, lost his father at a young age, and was falsely accused of abandoning his clan despite his outstanding talent as an alchemist. He had many beautiful women, including a fox demon princess, a pill tower princess, and a successor of the Flower Sect. He also experienced the sacrifice of beautiful women. He became a key figure in the Pill Gathering, established the Starfall Pavilion, went to the Dou Di Space, was betrayed, made a comeback, returned as a half-saint, and finally became the Supreme Emperor of the Endless Fire Domain. His cultivation reached the late stage of the Immortal Heavenly Sovereign. He also had the script of a protagonist with great destiny.

"Han Shanshan!"

As he murmured the name, Yao Lao felt a tremor in his soul, staring intently at the painting, saying, "So this is what she looked like, so this is what she looked like, I never imagined..."

This outburst of composure piqued Xiao Yan's curiosity, prompting him to ask, "Cousin, who is this Han Shanshan?"

"I've only heard about it." Zhang Yuan coughed lightly, and seeing that the absent-minded Yao Lao was also looking at him, he said, "He is a disciple of the Central Plains Little Pill Tower. He reached the seventh-grade alchemist at a very young age and is extremely obsessed with alchemy."

"It is said that she was the Medicine Master's teacher in alchemy, and also the Medicine Master's lover."

Gu He and Xiao Yan: ?

Teacher or lover?

Holy crap, Yao Chen is actually a traitorous disciple who defies his master?!
