Battle Through the Heavens: Exceptional Comprehension, Becomes Emperor at Ten Years Old

Chapter 83 Furukawa, Gute!

Otto and Frank exchanged a glance, then looked at Xiao Yan and said, "This Ice Spirit Cold Spring is a rare and precious natural treasure; we don't have any of it here!"

Xiao Yan said, "I desperately need this. If either of you masters knows of anyone who possesses the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, I'm willing to pay a high price for it!"

Master Otto frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "There is indeed no such thing as the Ice Spirit Cold Spring in the recent transaction records, but I know an old guy who has it."

Upon hearing Otto's words, Frank's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately looked at Otto and said, "You're not talking about that old guy, Gutt, are you?"

Otto nodded and said, "It's him. I once heard him mention that he possessed the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, but after all these years, I don't know if it still exists!"

Xiao Yan asked with delight, "Really? I wonder if Master Otto would be willing to take me to this Gu Te family's house?"

Frank reminded Xiao Yan, "This Gutt is a real old freak. He's a bit eccentric and has an extreme passion for collecting rare and precious materials. But if you want to trade with him, you'll need something that's even better than the Ice Spirit Cold Spring in his eyes!"

Xiao Yan said, "No matter what, we should at least give it a try!"

Otto nodded and said, "Alright, since you want to go and see, Frank and I will go with you!"

Xiao Yan stood up, clasped his hands in thanks, and said, "Thank you both, masters!"

"You're welcome. But even if the deal falls through when you go to Gutt's place, you can't act tough. After all, that old guy has a brother, you've probably heard of him," Frank said.

Xiao Yan asked with some surprise, "Brother? Who is that?"

"Dan Wang Guhe, otherwise, with this old guy being a third-grade alchemist, he wouldn't be a member of our Alchemist Guild, and his rare treasures would have been robbed long ago!" Otto said with a smile.

Upon hearing this person's name, Xiao Yan frowned immediately. He hadn't forgotten that when Nalan Yanran came to annul the engagement, she brought pills refined by the Pill King Gu He.

Frank said, "Alright, let's not delay, let's go take a look now!"

Xiao Yan nodded and followed Otto and Frank outside.

……

Xue Mei and Lin Fei were curious as they watched Xiao Yan follow behind their teacher.

"Xue Mei, who do you think this guy is? How come his alchemy skills are so amazing? What are they going to do now?" Lin Fei pouted and asked.

Xue Mei looked at Lin Fei calmly and said, "Knowing there are always people more powerful than you, why don't you hurry up and learn alchemy? What are you thinking about?"

Lin Fei rolled her eyes at Xue Mei and said, "How boring! I call this a balance between work and rest. All you do all day is refine pills; you're practically a puppet!"

"I heard that the Alchemist Conference is in six months. My teacher said there might be some changes this year. Do you think we can participate if we become second-grade alchemists?" Linfei asked Xuemei.

Xue Mei said, "Participating is definitely possible, but winning is out of the question. Didn't the teacher say that the little princess of the empire is already a third-grade alchemist? Maybe in another six months, she'll break through to the fourth grade!"

Linfei pouted and said, "Although we're a little bit behind, I think we can still work hard to overcome those small gaps. Cultivating the Soul Technique will greatly help with my alchemy skills!"

"My control over the heat during alchemy and my ability to refine medicinal herbs have improved significantly. If I could obtain more incantations for the Soul Technique, I would definitely be able to break through to the fourth or even fifth rank!"

Xue Mei sighed and said, "The Alchemist Guild doesn't really need first-grade alchemists like us these days, unless we take on missions."

"Then let's take the mission! I've decided that I must become someone even more powerful than Dan Wang Gu He in the future!" Lin Fei said, clenching her hands.

Xue Mei nodded and said, "That's ambitious! Keep it up!"

After saying that, Xue Mei walked towards the gate.

"Hey, don't you believe me? Wait for me!" Linfei shouted as she chased after Xuemei.

In Blackrock City, in a strange building in the south of the city.

Two figures sat in front of a wooden table. One of them was an old man, extremely slovenly, who almost blended into the surrounding environment.

It was obvious that the old man was Gutt.

In front of Gutt sat a middle-aged man dressed in brocade robes, with a refined and scholarly appearance, giving him the air of a mature uncle.

"Hey buddy, what brings you here?" Gutt asked, then took another sip of his drink.

The table in front of the two men was already piled high with bottles of liquor, indicating that they had clearly drunk quite a bit.

The middle-aged man opposite them was none other than Dan Wang Gu He!

Guhe looked at Gute and chuckled, "I have nowhere to call home, so I came here to take a look."

Gu Te curled his lip and said, "I know you too well. Why would you come here for no reason? Tell me, what's going on between you and that Yunlan Sect Master?"

Gu He chuckled and said, "What else could it be? She and I were just friends. Now that the Yunlan Sect is gone, I naturally have to leave!"

Gutt slammed his hand on the table and said, "Seriously? This woman is so heartless? She didn't even try to stop you?"

"Trying to keep me? Of course I tried to keep you, but I didn't agree!" Guhe chuckled.

Gu Te frowned at Gu He and said, "Then I don't understand. I tried to persuade you to stay, but you didn't?"

"I'm tired. Over the years in the Yunlan Sect, I've expressed my feelings openly and secretly many times, but she has never agreed," Gu He said slowly.

Gu Te sighed and said, "She probably just doesn't have feelings for you. You're a sixth-grade alchemist, why be heartbroken over a woman? If you spread the word, plenty of women will throw themselves at you. I think you should focus on your career!"

"Perhaps when you've worked hard enough, Yunyun will notice how capable you are!"

Hearing Gu Te's words, Gu He shook his head and said, "No, she's not that kind of person. These things can't be forced; it depends on fate."

"Now that the Yunlan Sect has disbanded, and another Imperial Prison has appeared, I didn't join the Alchemist Guild back then, and I won't join the Imperial Prison now either. In the future, I might take Liu Ling to Zhongzhou to make my way in the world!" Gu He said, looking at Gu Te.

Looking at Gu He's expression, Gu Te finally sighed and said, "Alright, since your ambition has always been to join the Pill Tower in Zhongzhou, then go!"

"Actually, there's no rush. I'm planning to go to the Tagor Desert to take a look. I heard that there might be strange fire in that desert!" Guhe said to Gute.

Gutt asked in surprise, "A strange fire? Really?"

As an alchemist himself, Gu Te naturally understood what this strange fire was and how important it was to alchemists.

Gu He nodded and said, "The information is quite reliable. It's probably on the edge of the Tagor Desert, near Mo City. But we'll need to search carefully to find out the exact location."

Gutt said, "I do have something here that might be able to help you."

Gu He looked at Gu Te with some surprise and asked, "What is it?"

Gu Te got up and walked towards the treasure room. He quickly returned with a small jade bottle. As soon as he got close, Gu He felt a chill.

"Could this jade bottle contain the Ice Spirit Cold Spring?" Gu He asked with some surprise.

Gutt chuckled and said, "You're quite knowledgeable. That's right, this is the Ice Spirit Cold Spring that I obtained by chance. Perhaps it will be of some use to you."
