Chapter 22 Ye Li's Shock
Seeing Ye Li go inside again, everyone was puzzled.
Only Gu Yan seemed to be deep in thought.
"I'll go in first," Gu Yan said, and stepped into the room.
The room was filled with a calming fragrance, and its exquisite and elegant layout showed that the Zhao family had put a lot of effort into it.
Seeing that Gu Yan was the first to enter, Ye Li smiled slightly and took the initiative to speak, "I heard from Zhao Zhiheng that your name is Gu Yan, and you are fifteen years old this year?"
Gu Yan nodded slightly.
He said you possess the third level of Dou Qi.
Gu Yan smiled and said, "That is indeed the version circulating outside."
"I can't see through your cultivation level." Ye Li stared at Gu Yan, getting straight to the point.
Gu Yan smiled and said, "I know."
He circulated his internal fighting spirit, releasing the aura of a six-star Dou Shi without reservation.
Ye Li was stunned, his eyes filled with shock.
A 15-year-old six-star Dou Shi!
In all his years of life, this was the first time he had ever seen such a monstrous talent!
"Why can't I see through your cultivation level?" After a few breaths of silence, Ye Li continued to ask.
Gu Yan looked at Ye Li and pondered, "Perhaps it's because my soul power is stronger."
Upon hearing this, Ye Li couldn't help but chuckle.
How strong can the soul power of a fifteen-year-old boy be?
"Release your soul power and let me feel it."
Gu Yan shrugged, and his soul power spread out, enveloping Ye Li.
The next moment, Ye Li suddenly stood up, his heart filled with turmoil, unable to calm down for a long time, his eyes staring straight at Gu Yan.
Heavens above!
Middle stage of mortal realm? !
His soul power was even more abundant than that of a fourth-grade alchemist like himself!
What kind of monster is this kid?!
Moreover, he clearly sensed the fire and wood elements within it!
"Gu Yan, would you be willing to become a disciple of my teacher, Pill King Han Chen, to learn alchemy?" Ye Li asked excitedly.
A love for talent has already arisen in his heart.
A talent like Gu Yan in alchemy is one in ten thousand years!
"If you're willing, I can take you back to see our teacher directly, and from then on we'll be fellow disciples."
Gu Yan hesitated.
This isn't an act.
Although he had considered learning alchemy and was somewhat tempted before coming here, he didn't know much about this Pill King Han Chen.
No matter who you cooperate with or get along with, character is the most important thing.
However, it is said that one becomes like the company one keeps. Judging from the behavior of the person in front of him, Dan Wang Han Li may be a good person after all.
Seeing that Gu Yan was hesitating, Ye Li was puzzled and asked, "Is there something you're worried about?"
Gu Yan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "If I'm willing to join the Pill King's sect, do I have to leave tomorrow morning?"
Ye Li frowned slightly, recalling some details, and asked, "Do you have something else to deal with? Is it related to the Zhao family?"
"The Gu family and the Zhao family have long been sworn enemies, with a blood feud between them," Gu Yan replied truthfully.
"It's either you or me who dies."
"I see." Ye Li tapped the table lightly with his right hand, as if he was considering something.
After a moment, he carefully considered his words and said, "I was received by the Zhao family here. It is really inconvenient for me to take action at this time, otherwise it will cause gossip and affect the teacher's reputation."
"Here's what I'm thinking: if you're willing to become my disciple, I'll spread the word immediately. The experts in the other three cities will know you're already the Pill King's disciple, and they'll definitely side with your Gu family. Once your conflict is completely resolved, I'll take you to Tianxing Holy City. What do you say?"
Seeing Ye Li say this, Gu Yan nodded slightly in his heart. This was indeed the most reasonable approach at present.
However, he still shook his head and said, "Thank you, Master Ye. I am willing to join, but I hope this matter will be kept confidential for the time being."
Ye Li was taken aback, then seemed to realize something, and laughed, "Looks like you're confident."
He sensed that the boy in front of him was quite extraordinary.
Gu Yan smiled and nodded, saying, "As expected of Master Ye."
Seeing Gu Yan admit it, Ye Li's eyes widened in surprise, then he smiled and said, "Once you become my disciple, we will be fellow disciples. You should change the way you address me as Master Ye."
Gu Yan smiled, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Senior Brother Ye."
Ye Li nodded with a smile.
"Since you call me senior brother, as your senior brother, I must give you a small gift. Here are a few bottles of pills I refined, and a scroll of high-level Xuan-rank combat skills, which I'll give to you." Ye Li took out a storage ring and handed it to Gu Yan.
"I'm so sorry," Gu Yan said quickly.
He knew very well that there were no alchemists in the five cities, only physicians, so these pills were a truly generous gift.
Ye Li laughed heartily and said, "With your talent, your future achievements will definitely surpass mine. Then you'll know that these pills are nothing at all."
Gu Yan smiled at Ye Li and finally accepted the generous gift.
Ye Li wanted to do Gu Yan a huge favor; if he hadn't only brought so many pills, he would definitely have given Gu Yan even more.
These pills would be extremely valuable to ordinary people, but for alchemists, they are something they can make as long as they have the materials.
Gifts should be given early, because once Gu Yan truly becomes an alchemist, these pills won't be as valuable as they are now.
Gu Yan was well aware of this, so he said, "I will always remember Senior Brother Ye's kindness."
Upon hearing Gu Yan's words, Ye Li's lips curled into a satisfied smile.
With Gu Yan's words, his elixirs were not given away in vain.
"Do you need me to send someone to escort you back?"
Gu Yan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No need for that. I prefer to keep a low profile."
Seeing that Gu Yan said this, Ye Li did not insist.
Next, Ye Li also tested the other members of the Gu family.
Unfortunately, no one met the requirements to become an alchemist.
Following Gu Yan's instructions, Ye Li did not announce the confirmed candidate, but instead set off early the next morning.
The next day at noon, just after lunch, alarm bells rang again at the Gu family manor.
Gu Yan stood up in the hall and sneered, "I didn't expect them to be in such a hurry."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a dozen figures rushed into the Gu family manor.
The leaders were Zhao Zhiheng and Zhao Zhiren, both nine-star Grand Masters.
"Leave no one alive in the Gu family manor, regardless of gender or age!" Zhao Zhiheng waved his hand, his face contorted with rage.
However, after traveling some distance, they did not find a single person.
Just as the dozen or so people were wondering what was going on, Gu Ruiqing, Gu Tianyao, and Gu Tianyang suddenly appeared.
Upon hearing Zhao Zhiheng's words, Gu Ruiqing angrily retorted, "Zhao Zhiheng, the Gu family is not a place where you can act so recklessly!"
"No one will be spared, regardless of gender or age?"
"That's really great!"
Gu Ruiqing leaped forward and charged at Zhao Zhiheng.
Gu Tianyao and Gu Tianyang each chose an opponent and charged forward.
The others did not surround and attack, but immediately scattered and rushed towards the Gu family in all directions, looking for targets to kill.
