Chapter 49: The Slacked Off Alchemy King

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Shen Hai and the others welcomed the alchemy king into the sect. As they walked past the steps covered in night-luminescent pearls and saw the Crystal Ice Chalcedony that could be seen everywhere, even the knowledgeable them couldn’t help but feel surprised.

“Master, it seems that Tai Qing Sect is really as rich as those rumors say.”

Sun Sihao snorted, “So what if they have a lot of spirit stones? If they don’t have the corresponding strength, it’s no different from a child swaggering around. Sooner or later, they’ll bring disaster.”

“Senior brother’s words make sense.”

The few of them chatted for a moment. Their words revealed a little jealousy.

Although they had seen a lot of good things after following the alchemy king for so many years, none of them were as extravagant as Tai Qing Sect, so much so that even they were a little envious.

Soon, all the disciples of Tai Qing Sect were gathered.

Even Alchemy King Gu Qi, was shocked by this group of people. Of course, it wasn’t because of how outstanding their talent was, but because the aura of these people was too low. There were even people of level 1 and 2 Human Realm.

it made people wonder if they were just there to make up the numbers. What could these people learn? He was afraid that these people would not be able to get anything from what he said, no matter how hard he tried.

It would be somewhat hard to teach even if an alchemy emperor was here, let alone an alchemy king.

“Master, the Tai Qing Sect only looks at the number of spirit stones paid when accepting disciples. I heard that one of their elders is still at the second level of Human Realm.”

Hearing Sun Sihao’s words, the contempt in Alchemy King Gu Xi’s eyes grew, “If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have agreed to it.”

If it was not for the fact that Han Yue’s offer was too tempting, Gu Xi would never have agreed to it. If others knew that he did the teaching, it would definitely damage his reputation.

“Alchemy King Gu Xi, please.”

Facing Shen Hai and others’ respectful invitation, Alchemy King Gu Xi’s attitude became colder and colder.

The disciples of Tai Qing Sect didn’t discover the undercurrent. Instead, they became extremely excited and couldn’t wait to see him up close.

“It’s really Alchemy King Gu Xi! Sect master is really amazing. She can even invite such a big shot over. I’ve only heard of his name before, but now only I can see him in person. He’s indeed worthy of his reputation.”

“Alchemy King Gu Xi actually rejected Tiangang Sect’s invitation. So we must cherish this rare opportunity.”

“I heard that alchemy is very difficult, and it also requires extraordinary talent. I don’t know if we can do it.”

“I also don’t expect to be as amazing as Alchemy King Gu Xi. I’m already satisfied with just being able to refine some ordinary healing pills. This way, it can be considered a life-saving method no matter where I go in the future.”

The disciples below the stage were discussing fervently. Alchemy King Gu Xi and the few disciples beside him were looking at them with contempt.

Sun Sihao couldn’t help but ask, “Master, are you really going to give a lecture to these people?”

Alchemy King Gu Xi laughed coldly, “In their dreams. These people don’t even have the qualifications to listen to my lecture.” As his eyes moved, he already had a decision in his heart.

“As we all know, spiritual plants are the most important in order to make good pills. Other than those natural wild spiritual plants, most of the spiritual plants are artificially cultivated.

Although there are ordinary spiritual plants, supreme-grade high-rank medicinal pills require supreme-grade spiritual plants. However, most of the precious spiritual plants are guarded by fierce demonic beasts and are rare in number.

Therefore, the main source still relies on artificial cultivation. Not only does it require spiritual seeds, but it also requires spiritual dew and so on to grow spiritual plants.

From this, it could be seen that precious spiritual plants aren’t that easy to cultivate. Not only do they require many conditions, but they also have strict requirements on the living environment. Even someone like me doesn’t have many spiritual plants in my hands.”

Everyone was mesmerized and didn’t notice anything wrong. Instead, they felt that Alchemy King Gu Xi’s explanation was logical.

After all, spiritual plants were essential for alchemy. So it didn’t matter if he talked about how to grow them.

However, the other elders realized that something was wrong. He did not get to the point even after talking for half a day. He was only talking about how to grow spiritual plants and how hard it was to cultivate them.

The sixth elder pulled on the sleeve of the seventh elder and said, “Why do I feel that Alchemy King Gu Xi doesn’t seem to want to impart his pill-refining experience to the disciples? He keeps talking about spiritual plants.”

Hearing his words, the other elders also felt the same.

Even if they had a thorough understanding of planting, there was no place in Tai Qing Sect that was suitable for planting spiritual plants. Moreover, it was impossible for everyone to plant spiritual plants even if they were proficient.

Shen Hai coughed a few times and cleared his throat, “Alchemy King Gu Xi, I think we can stop here with your explanations regarding spiritual plants. All of our disciples would like to know about how you refine pills.”

Alchemy King Gu Xi glanced at Shen Hai indifferently. Just a single glance from him was filled with immense pressure that could send chills down one’s spine. This was the pressure of a superior.

“Are you teaching me what to do?”

“I don’t dare.”

“Great elder, you’re being a little too hasty. If you don’t know how to grow spiritual plants, how can you refine medicinal pills in the future?”

These words seemed to be from the perspective of Tai Qing Sect. But in fact, they were not very useful. They had no spiritual seeds or spiritual dew, so what was the use of the cultivation method?

Sun Sihao and the others also chimed in, “That’s right. Master’s words make sense. To do a good job, an artisan needs the best tools. You’re not in this field, so it’s understandable that you don’t know the ins and outs.”

The few of them echoed each other, making Shen Hai somewhat embarrassed, “But according to the current conditions of Tai Qing Sect…”

Alchemy King Gu Xi snorted coldly. His tone was filled with impatience, “I can see that the great elder has his own idea. Since you’re so good at talking, what do you need me for? Why don’t you give a lecture instead?”
