Eternal Pill Emperor

Zong Qi was the highest level alchemist in the entire Yingtian Institution. He who had already become a Grade Four Alchemist stood at the top of the Great Desolate Empire, and there was only Dugu Feng Yun who could be compared to him, who was also a Grade Four Alchemist alchemist.

With Grade Four Alchemist's identity, even King Level Expert would have to be respectful in front of it. After all, no matter the cost, a Grade Four Alchemist could be made into a King Level Expert with a huge amount of medicinal pellets!

Within the Yingtian Institution, the ones with the highest statuses were the two ancestor s that appeared but disappeared without a trace, and following closely behind them, was Zong Qi!

After Gu Xuan and Liu Yue'er parted ways, he took the Martial Ancestor Zi Feng's keepsake and headed straight to the Pill Dao Pavilion.

The Pill Dao Pavilion was close to the Myriad Treasures Palace and was also an important location within the Yingtian Institution. If any special medicinal pellets the students of the academy needed, they could pay the Treasure Point s for the alchemist masters of the Pill Dao Pavilion to refine.

There were many youths waiting in line outside. Their expressions were serious. There were over a dozen people in line, but no one made any noise.

An alchemist's status was noble to begin with. If a normal person provoked them, there would be endless trouble, and Zong Qi was not only a master amongst alchemists, but he also had a strange personality. There were people who would get slapped to death by the impatient Zong Qi when they shouted in the Pill Dao Pavilion.

Not only did the man not dare to blame Zong Qi, but he was actually extremely fearful and anxious. He quickly sold a few properties and bought a Rank 4 Elixir as compensation, then begged Zong Qi to accept it.

The power of one Grade Four Alchemist was simply too terrifying.

At the entrance of the Pill Dao Pavilion, there was a fair skinned young lady who was in charge of recording the requirements for the medicinal pellets for the students.

Gu Xuan walked forward and handed the keepsake over to the lady.

"Are you here as a errand boy?" The young girl swept her gaze over the keepsake, her clear eyes sweeping across Gu Xuan's body, "Did you pass the test to become a first tier Alchemist, or is it the Alchemist Academy?"

Gu Xuan was startled. In Great Desolate Empire, alchemists needed to be tested, and the test would be successful, that was a real alchemist. The reason why they gave out their alchemist badges was to prevent others from pretending to be alchemists and swindling them.

But Gu Xuan had never gone to a proper place to take the examination. This meant that he really couldn't be considered an alchemist, and a dignified Pill Emperor like him not being an alchemist was truly a bit of a joke.

"You're not even an apprentice alchemist, are you?" The girl was so shocked that her mouth gaped open, and she looked at Gu Xuan with an expression of disbelief.

"Seems to be so." Gu Xuan spread out his hands and smiled helplessly in his heart. Without the alchemist badge, even if he called himself an alchemist, it would probably attract more people's disdain, so he decided to accept his loss.

"You really are …" Sigh, you aren't even a disciple alchemist, how are you supposed to help Master Zong Qi? You should know that even a few level one alchemist students aren't able to meet Master Zong Qi's standards. " The young girl said somewhat helplessly, "I think it's best for you to find your teacher for another task."

"There's no need. How do you know without trying?" Gu Xuan smiled as he shook his head: "Since even a level 1 alchemist cannot, maybe I can?"

Many of them had tried to be Zong Qi's assistant, but when faced with Master Zong Qi's request, these people who were familiar with the theory of refining pills on a normal day were like idiots, and had no idea how to respond to that. In the end, they could only roll around and leave.

Furthermore, Gu Xuan wasn't even an apprentice alchemist, yet he actually wanted to accept such a person without knowing the depths of his heart.

Many people were full of confidence before accepting missions, thinking that they were different from the others. Only in the end did they become completely dumbfounded.

"Ai, it's up to you." The girl shook her head helplessly, and gave Gu Xuan a look that said "Come with me."

As he followed the young lady into the Pill Dao Pavilion, the fragrance of the medicine gushed into Gu Xuan's nose, causing him to feel somewhat intoxicated. Ever since his rebirth, refining pills had only been an auxiliary aid in cultivation.

"Master Mu Ling!"

When the two of them arrived at the alchemy room at the center, the alchemy apprentice guarding the door respectfully greeted the young girl with her luggage.

Gu Xuan subconsciously glanced at Mu Ling's chest, and actually discovered that the latter was wearing the badge of an alchemist with Second Grade, and slightly raised an eyebrow.

This girl was not much older than him, around the age of twenty, yet she was able to reach the Second Grade realm.

"Master Zong Qi is my master, he has a fiery personality. After you enter, you must be careful." Pointing at the door, Mu Ling kindly reminded him.

"Thank you very much." Gu Xuan smiled at Mu Ling and walked in.

In the middle of the room, a dirty middle-aged man was playing with a purplish-red fruit.

Sensing the sound, Zong Qi looked over to Gu Xuan, and upon realizing that the latter was not wearing his alchemist badge, he frowned.

Gu Xuan took out the keepsake, and introduced: "I'm here …"

"Enough." Zong Qi waved his hands, interrupting Gu Xuan in a very impatient manner, "Aren't you here to take care of miscellaneous work for me? My eyes aren't blind yet."

He was too lazy to look at Gu Xuan, so Zong Qi continued to study the fruit in his hand, and muttered with a bit of annoyance: "He actually sent someone that isn't even an apprentice alchemist, the academy is getting more and more perfunctory with me."

Gu Xuan rubbed his nose, standing at the side and not saying a word, it seemed that this "Pill Dao Grandmaster" was not very friendly to him.

Zong Qi studied it for a moment, with a flip of his hand, a ball of dark yellow flames appeared in his palm.

Zong Qi's face was solemn as he controlled his flames to continuously refine the fruits.

Puff!

After a short while, Zong Qi seemed to have carelessly controlled the flame and the fruit was burnt to ashes by an excessively high temperature.

"Humph!"

Zong Qi let out a loud grunt, his expression was somewhat gloomy as he retracted the flames and swept the ashes away.

Gu Xuan shook his head slightly. That fruit, was also at the fourth rank. Zong Qi, as a Grade Four Alchemist, was actually unable to purify even a fourth rank spirit herb.

Looking at Gu Xuan's expression, the anger on Zong Qi's face grew even more intense: "What are you standing there in a daze for? I was refining pills just now, don't you know what you should do as an assistant? "Who asked you to come? You let me fail in the pill forging process, do you know how much responsibility you have to bear?"

Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows and suddenly laughed. This Zong Qi was interesting, if he failed in concocting the pill, he would have to blame himself for watching by the side. Since this person thinks that he is not even an apprentice alchemist, he would still be able to help concoct pills for Grade Four Alchemist.

Glancing at Zong Qi, Gu Xuan revealed a hint of ridicule: "You don't even know what pill refining is."
