"That's right, Senior Brother. We didn't embarrass you. Our Guowei Dojo has already occupied two of the top ten spots in the capital's hero ranking."
"Now, the disciples of other dojos are very polite when they see us."
Their faces were brimming with pride. It was precisely because I wasn't in the Guowei Dojo that they didn't dare to slack off. Grandmaster Chen had previously made it clear to them that they had to rely on themselves in the future. If they didn't work hard, they would be eliminated sooner or later. I don't ask them to be as good as me, but at least don't ruin my reputation.
Under such circumstances, each of them worked hard to improve. Coupled with the abundance of elixirs, their strength and cultivation improved by leaps and bounds.
How could I not know what they were thinking? Thinking about it, it had been a while since I gave them elixirs. Most likely, there weren't many elixirs left. At first, they were reluctant to eat them and even had the idea of selling them at a high price. One must know that even a rank three elixir was worth at least tens of millions, which was enough for them to squander for a long time. However, once I found out about this, they would definitely have no chance with elixirs in the future, so they ate them themselves.
The outside world marveled at the progress of the disciples of the Guowei Dojo, but they didn't know that it was accompanied by an astonishing consumption of elixirs. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that even the major sects of the martial arts world couldn't train their disciples so generously.
However, before I came to the capital, I gave the few elixirs I had left to Witch Ye Ji, so I couldn't take them out now.
I called Grandmaster Chen and talked about this issue. He was at the new venue and asked me to go there when I had time. His tone was a little mysterious. Anyway, there were still a few hours to go by plane. I informed the brothers of the Guowei Dojo and rushed over.
Although the location of the new venue was a little remote and not in the downtown area of the capital, it was conducive to the cultivation of the disciples. After all, it was easy to be distracted in a bustling metropolis and affect the efficiency of cultivation.
Moreover, the area of the new venue was the size of twenty old venues. It could be said to be extraordinary. Not long after, Grandmaster Chen brought me to a special alchemy room.
Not only was there a large rank two alchemy furnace, but all kinds of materials needed for alchemy were also placed on the shelves.
"Perfect!" I couldn't help but click my tongue in wonder. "Master, you really put in a lot of effort."
"You gave me so much money that I couldn't spend it all. That's why I built this Alchemy Lab. Although you might not be able to develop your business in Jing City in the future, you can always come back and visit." Grandmaster Chen cracked a friendly smile.
To an alchemist, these materials and a second-grade cauldron were already very attractive. No wonder Grandmaster Chen asked me to come here. I had planned to find some materials and make as many as I could.
I didn't expect him to have already prepared everything. Now it was much more convenient. Grandmaster Chen also said that I might not be able to develop my career in Jing City in the future. I felt a little sad. However, all good things must come to an end. Nan Yun was the starting point of my dream. Moreover, Liu Jie and the others were all there.
Because of Guan Ruolan, I had been struggling for a long time. I didn't know what to do. But when Elder Guan got into an accident, Guan Ruolan took the initiative to tell me that she wanted to move back to Nan Yun City with me. I felt relieved.
"Okay, Master. I'll come back often."
I nodded. As the saying goes, a teacher for a day is a father for life. Grandmaster Chen not only taught me martial arts, but he also taught me how to conduct myself.
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Try it and see if it's convenient." Grandmaster Chen smiled and turned to leave.
"Oh right, Master, I've booked a plane ticket for this evening." I couldn't help but say.
Grandmaster Chen knew my difficulties, so he didn't ask me to stay. "Okay, I'll drive you later."
Just like that, I raced against time and started to refine pills. In a short three hours, I had refined several hundred pills. Half of them were third rank pills. This success rate could be said to be shocking, but I was still not satisfied.
It was getting late. I took half of the pills and put them in a bag. Then, I left the room. Grandmaster Chen was almost done with his work.
Seeing the bag full of pills, Grandmaster Chen was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. People who didn't know better would think that it was candy.
"Xiao Zhuang, your skill in alchemy has surpassed that of a third-grade medicine master …" Grandmaster Chen said with admiration.
"Ahem, Master, you flatter me." I scratched my head, feeling a little embarrassed.
Although Grandmaster Chen was curious as to how I could learn alchemy and medicine without a teacher, he didn't ask.
As long as I didn't forget my original intention, it would be enough.
Soon, I got into Grandmaster Chen's car.
"Xiao Zhuang, when I was young, I traveled to the border and saw some witchcraft with my own eyes. The local Grand Magi were respected by the local people. Their methods were no less than those of the True Immortals on the land, but they were even more vicious. Therefore, in the eyes of many martial arts sects, the power that the three small countries respected was also a symbol of the Devil Dao. Witchcraft has the characteristic of killing people invisibly. In the end, it is a mysterious supernatural power. If you encounter it, don't panic. The martial arts passed down by our ancestors are no weaker than theirs," Grandmaster Chen said calmly.
"I understand!"
My expression turned solemn. After thinking about it, it made sense. Those three small countries had provoked us time and time again. They had already touched the bottom line of the Huaxia Country. Even if we didn't care about Shang Guan Guoqiang's reputation, it was necessary for us to send out martial experts to eliminate them. However, we hadn't done so yet. This meant that there was something fishy going on. Perhaps no martial arts sect would be willing to get involved in this mess.
If they sent an Earth True Immortal, it would be great if they succeeded. However, if they failed, they might not be able to return. The big shots naturally knew the stakes.
