Gu Yao and his companions had just visited a shop, and the shop owner hurriedly ran out from inside. If it weren't for an invisible spiritual force that bounced him off, he would have hit Gu Yao directly. The shop owner seemed unaware of it and ran to the two young cultivators wearing the alchemist badges. He was so enthusiastic that he even had a bit of flattery: "Do you two alchemists want to take a look at our spirit herbs? We just got a batch of rare spirit herbs from the Nanmang Mountains. These spirit herbs can only show their value in the hands of alchemists."
"Nanmang Mountains? Not bad, let's go in and take a look?" One of the alchemists asked for the opinion of the other alchemist.
"Okay, as you wish."
The two young alchemists nodded and agreed, and the shop owner was overjoyed. The other cultivators who came with the two alchemists also followed them to the shop. Gu Yao and his four friends who were standing between the shop and the group of cultivators naturally became the ones blocking the way. One of them stretched out his hand and wanted to wave them away.
Chi Changye was displeased, but Gu Yao was not unhappy. He took the initiative to pull Chi Changye away. They were indeed blocking the way in this position, and it was reasonable to give way. Gu Yao didn't have the awareness that "with his current status, people should give way to him wherever he goes". He had a weak sense of hierarchy in his bones.
A bunch of people passed by them, but the female alchemist in the middle unconsciously glanced at the side. She only caught a glimpse of the side profile of Gu Yao and his companions who had turned and left. This side profile seemed familiar, but when she looked closely and wanted to identify it carefully, the person had already merged into the crowd and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Junior sister, what are you looking at? Hurry up and enter the shop. I remember you are very interested in the spirit herbs from Nanmang."
The female alchemist retracted her gaze, and for some reason, she felt a faint regret, as if she had missed something: "Nothing, senior brother, do you think Gu alchemist will come to our Danding City soon? Will we have a chance to see Gu alchemist?"
The male alchemist said uncertainly: "He should come, right? That senior Chi has already formed his core and left the seclusion. With senior Chi escorting him, Gu alchemist can go anywhere without any problem. As long as Gu alchemist comes to Danding City, we should have a chance to see him, right?"
He convinced himself at the end.
"I really hope to see Gu alchemist. It would be great if Gu alchemist could stay in Danding City forever."
During the short exchange between the senior brother and sister, Gu Yao and his four friends had already gone far away. Gu Yao was not angry about this situation: "This is also good. Danding City was built around the alchemist guild, and there is President Hu personally sitting in the town. It is reasonable for the cultivators and merchants in the city to value alchemists. If it weren't for the alchemist guild, they wouldn't gather here and expand their business." "That's right," the chubby one also agreed, "If you reveal your identity, Gu Yao, I guess we will be surrounded by a sea of people. The shop owner just now will be even more happy to faint."
He liked the place that his grandfather and Gu Yao built together.
"Pfft, I think it's more like scared to faint." Tian Feirong argued.
The two of them quarreled while walking forward, Chi Changye and Gu Yao walked side by side. The episode just now was also quickly thrown behind by Chi Changye. He enjoyed this moment of peace and ease. He had been busy for a while and rarely had such a leisurely mood to go shopping. Even if the street was noisy, their mood was very calm.
In the alchemist guild, Hu Ting was listening to the elders talk about the situation of evaluating the alchemist levels. Although the overall level of alchemy was relatively backward, they still found some good seeds among the many alchemists who gathered in Danding City this time. If they were cultivated, they could achieve some results.
Unlike the Ascension Conference, which was held once every ten years, some cultivators who missed the age would lose the opportunity. No one knew how many people they missed in ten years, and there were also those who couldn't make it to Shifang City for various reasons. But the alchemist guild lowered these thresholds to the lowest level. No matter when they came, the door of the alchemist guild would always be open.
"I just found two good seeds. They used to be attached to a family and received guidance from the alchemist who was supported by the family. But that alchemist's lifespan was exhausted, and this pair of senior brother and sister came to Danding City."
"Elder Hao, are you interested in taking two more disciples?" Hu Ting saw his extremely fond look and smiled.
Elder Hao stroked his beard and laughed, "Let me observe them for a while. Talent is important, but temperament cannot be lacking."
Hu Ting shook his head with a smile, and was about to say something, when his expression suddenly moved. He stood up abruptly, and his joy was revealed without any concealment:
"A distinguished guest is here! A distinguished guest is coming to our guild! You wait a moment, I'll be back soon!"
"Hey hey, Mr. Hu, be clear, which distinguished guest?" Seeing Hu Ting walk away, the other elders hurriedly asked, "Is it Gu alchemist? With Elder Chi's protection, Gu alchemist doesn't have to worry about being troubled by anyone."
"Then let's follow him quickly!"
These old fellows were also curious about Gu Yao. Although they had communicated through letters for a while, they felt unreal across the distance. Hu Ting always praised Gu Yao, saying that his own alchemy progress was also due to the exchange with Gu Yao. Otherwise, the Tianyuan Pill would not have been refined so smoothly.
The alchemist guild also had the recipes for the Hongxuan Pill and the Qingchen Pill, which were naturally sent by Gu Yao. After studying the recipes, they also admired the master who made them.
Gu Yao and his four friends entered the alchemist guild, and someone came forward to greet them and asked if they wanted to take the alchemist level test. Gu Yao was hesitant. Did he need to take one? And even if he did, starting from the bottom would create a topic, so he simply released his aura with the chubby one and looked for Hu Ting's location.
As soon as Hu Ting sensed them, he immediately came downstairs. The receptionist was still doing his duty to introduce them to the procedures for the alchemist level certification, and still regarded them as small alchemists who came here admiringly.
The receptionist couldn't see through their disguise, but Hu Ting, who walked up the stairs and saw the situation below, saw through it with his golden core strength. It was Gu Yao and his grandson, as well as Chi Changye who had successfully formed his core, and Tian family's kid who was his grandson's friend.
The receptionist's mouth was almost dry, and he found that the person he was facing was just smiling gently but not responding, even if he smiled so nicely: "This fellow daoist, you…"
"These few will be personally received by me. This is an elder of our guild who has never shown his face." A voice interrupted, and the receptionist was stunned. Elder? He doubted his ears, but when he turned his head and looked, the person who came was actually President Hu. How could this be? The receptionist was dizzy and watched President Hu and Gu Yao's four people go upstairs. As soon as these people disappeared, the staff downstairs and the cultivators outside exploded. The receptionist was also chased and asked who the people were, and why President Hu personally came out to receive them. The four people looked very young and didn't look like experts at all.
But the receptionist himself was also dizzy, and he didn't know what was going on.
Suddenly someone exclaimed: "An elder who has never shown his face? Could it be Gu Yao alchemist? Was it Gu Yao alchemist and that senior Chi just now? Weren't there two cultivators beside them?"
"That makes sense, oh my, I just passed by Gu alchemist and senior Chi, why didn't I have the wit to get close to them!"
The receptionist pinched himself hard with his trembling hand, and hissed, it really hurt. Then he grinned and laughed nervously, but no one thought he was crazy. Not everyone had such good luck, to be able to meet Gu alchemist and senior Chi and talk to them for so long.
Then another middle-level manager appeared at the stairway, telling them not to make a fuss, but also admitted that the people who came just now were indeed Gu Yao alchemist and his party. So this news quickly spread in all directions with the alchemist guild as the center.
Gu Yao alchemist came to the alchemist guild!
Senior Chi showed up at the alchemist guild, escorting Gu Yao alchemist!
President Hu Ting personally received Gu Yao alchemist!
When the senior brother and sister who had selected a batch of spirit herbs were personally sent out by the shop owner, they heard the pedestrians talking like this, and quickly stopped a passerby and asked. It turned out that they didn't hear it wrong, Gu Yao alchemist really came, and it was confirmed by the people in the guild!
"Junior sister, let's hurry to the guild, maybe we can really see him!" The senior brother looked eagerly at his junior sister and said.
"Okay, let's go back right away."
Shopping for spirit herbs, they could do it anytime, but the chance to see Gu Yao was not always there. The two of them ran towards the guild, and the cultivators who had followed them before didn't care about them anymore. Some of them spread the news, some of them rushed to the guild, hoping to get in touch with Gu alchemist, which was much more worthwhile than these two small alchemists, not on the same level at all.
For a while, various greeting cards were thrown to the guild like thunder flowers. They had no other channels to send them to Gu Yao himself, so they could only try through the guild. In addition, Chi Changye was also a person they wanted to get close to. No one could deny that he was now the number one person in Tianlin Continent.
These two people appeared in Danding City together, who wouldn't be shocked by it!
Gu Yao and his friends were taken upstairs by Hu Ting and removed their disguise. They greeted each other and were surrounded by other elders. Hu Ting had to find another place for Gu Yao, and they sat down and chatted together, talking about alchemy. This was what these old fellows wanted to do the most.
They talked endlessly, so the people outside couldn't find out any further news no matter how they inquired, but they still didn't want to leave, for fear of missing the opportunity as soon as they left. Some alchemists even came from outside Danding City after hearing the news, just to catch a glimpse of Gu Yao alchemist's style.
Seeing that Elder Hao and those old fellows took advantage of their age and kept talking to Gu Yao, knowing that Gu Yao had a good temper, Hu Ting shook his head speechlessly. At this time, he heard the people below come to report the situation outside, and Hu Ting had to interrupt the entanglement of those old fellows and tell Gu Yao about it. If he didn't deal with it, it would have some impact on Gu Yao's reputation.
