Chapter 122: Gujiang Desperately Seeks A Teacher, Keep Kneeling If You Want, I’m Joining The Black Heaven Sect

“Tell me now, Fifth Elder! Which Grandmaster is inside this room?” Master Gu excitedly grabbed the Fifth Elder by the sleeve and asked.

‘This is definitely an Alchemy Grandmaster!’

Having traversed through many lands within the Firmament Star, Master Gu had visited various renowned places and met with lots of great Alchemy Masters. However, he had never come across an Alchemy Grandmaster before.

Then again, he did not expect to meet one here now.

“Please calm yourself down, Master Gu...”

“How can I possibly do that? That’s an Alchemy Grandmaster we’re talking about here.”

“The one inside is our Black Heaven Sect’s lead disciple, Chu Kuangren.”

“B*llsh*t, isn’t Chu Kuangren a cultivation genius? How can a person like that become an Alchemy Grandmaster? Are you messing around with me?”

Even the Fifth Elder was perplexed as to what was happening.

‘Our lead disciple knows alchemy? How did he learn this?’

At that moment.

The doors of the pill refining room creaked as they opened.

Chu Kuangren then walked out of the room and said, “I’m out of herbal ingredients in there, can I trouble one of you to... Huh?”

He could not even finish his sentence before he was taken aback by the bunch of brewing chamber disciples who were bawling their eyes out.

‘The hell? What’s going on here?’

However, he could more or less guess what had happened.

‘Was the effect of the Pill of Melancholic Sorrow that strong?’

‘Just its mere pill aroma is enough to cause such an effect. What will happen if I let someone consume it then? Will they cry until they die?’

“It’s the lead disciple!” The Fifth Elder was completely shocked.

Seeing that the door was opened, Master Gu immediately rushed into the pill refining room but he did not find anyone else when he was in there.

“Where has Alchemy Grandmaster gone to?”

“What Alchemy Grandmaster?” Chu Kuangren asked with a confused frown.

“I’m talking about the one who was performing alchemy just now.”

“Since the start, there’s been no one else but me in that room. I’m the one who’s been performing alchemy too.” Chu Kuangren chuckled. He knew that the person before him was Master Gujiang, the most well-known Alchemy Master on the Firmament Star.

“Wait what? You!”

Gujiang threaded around Chu Kuangren as he said that. His face was full of suspicion.

“So you’re Chu Kuangren?”

“Yes.”

“Your appearance really is as the rumors say. Was it really you inside performing alchemy just now?” Gujiang asked with a doubtful look in his eyes.

“It’s just me.” Chu Kuangren nodded.

“Can you repeat the process for me to see?”

‘Whether this is a hoax or a truth, I’ll soon know once I see it for myself.’

Chu Kuangren naturally did not turn down his request. After all, he did come to the brewing chamber to test the bounds of his alchemy skills.

He had just only begun, and would still like to experiment more too.

Once Chu Kuangren had requested the others to prepare a new batch of ingredients, he started to perform his alchemy again.

As Gujiang stood beside him and watched the process, his initially doubt-filled face began to turn stern before it progressed into shock. In the end, Master Gujiang was so stunned that his eyes and mouth were wide open.

As compared to Gujiang, Fifth Elder was not any better. He felt that Chu Kuangren’s action was just too surreal. He was like a fantasy who had come to life.

He had never heard of Chu Kuangren’s ability to do alchemy before. So how did he become an Alchemy Grandmaster so out of the blue?

Boom...

A surge of Pill Qi rose into the air and formed nine clusters of golden pill clouds, symbolizing that a Ninth Grade Supreme Pill was made once again.

“This person is definitely an Alchemy Grandmaster! He’s definitely one!”

Coming back to his senses, Gujiang looked at Chu Kuangren with a fiery passion in his eyes.

He immediately rushed before Chu Kuangren without saying a word and kneeled before him. “Master, I ask that you please accept me as your disciple!”

Outside the pill refining room, the brewing chamber disciples were all dumbfounded.

What did they just witness?

A renowned Alchemy Master kneeling before their Elder Senior Brother, begging to be his disciple?

‘Bloody hell, this world is just too crazy!’

“My senior, I would never dare to do something like that.” Even Chu Kuangren was shocked as he hurriedly supported Gujiang up.

However, it was as if Gujiang’s feet were glued to the floor because no matter how Chu Kuangren dragged and lifted, that man just did not want to get up. He even continued to say, “If Master does not accept me as his disciple, then I shall continue kneeling.”

‘What the hell? Is this guy blackmailing me?’

Chu Kuangren stared at Gujiang before him in a daze. ‘Is this the most renowned Alchemy Master?’

“Master Gu, what in the world are you doing?” Similarly shocked, the Fifth Elder quickly went to advise him.

“There’s no need, Fifth Elder. Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster is my life’s goal. I’ve been delving into thousands of scriptures all my life, yet I can’t seem to make any progress at all. So now that I have finally seen a glimmer of hope today, I won’t give up that easily.”

Gujiang replied persistently.

Alchemy was just that much of an importance to that man. The reason he could ever possess such status and fame now was all due to the efforts he had made in alchemy.

His cultivation qualifications may not be excellent and he could only understand the Dao through alchemy, but he would do whatever it takes as long as he could progress in his path of alchemy.

“Senior Gu, if you like kneeling down that much, then so be it. So long,” Chu Kuangren casually said.

In fact, it was not that he did not want to teach Gujiang, but he was simply displeased by Gujiang’s desperate actions.

‘Do you think I’ll take you in as my disciple just by kneeling like that?’

‘So you’ll continue to kneel if I refuse?’

‘Are you forcing me to do it? Or is it the other way around now?’

‘This is basically a form of extortion in disguise.’ Feeling extremely displeased with that behavior of his, Chu Kuangren turned around and was about to leave.

Upon seeing this, the admiration that the brewing chamber disciples’ had towards Chu Kuangren was like a surging river that never ends.

‘Having an Alchemy Master as his disciple? Imagine the reactions if news of this were to spread.’

‘What about our Elder Senior Brother then?’

‘No!’

‘Since you insist, then I shall refuse. I don’t care what sort of Alchemy Master you are, who gives a sh*t anyways.’

“This... Master Chu... Wait...” At this moment, Gujiang could not kneel any longer. He hurriedly stood up and went after Chu Kuangren with an anxious look on his face.

Chu Kuangren glared at him. “What’s the problem? Done kneeling already?”

Gujiang’s face flushed red with embarrassment. “Please forgive me, Master Chu. My actions were indeed offensive just now. I hope you don’t take it to heart.”

Even he had realized that his behavior just now had made things too difficult for others.

“Senior Gu, if you’re looking to discuss alchemy, then I shall be glad to join you. However, let’s toss any matter about accepting disciples out the window, shall we?”

Chu Kuangren then let out a chuckle and left.

Gujiang stood frozen on the ground, not knowing whether to go after Chu Kuangren or not.

“Master Gu, the lead disciple’s residence is at the Towering Heaven Palace. So there will always be an opportunity for you to discuss alchemy with him,” the Fifth Elder said as he went up to him.

Gujiang stared at him coldly. “That’s not very kind of you, Fifth Elder. Why didn’t you tell me earlier that there’s an Alchemy Grandmaster here when you invited me to the Black Heaven Sect? You’ve made me embarrass myself because of this.”

“What should I do now that I’ve offended Master Chu?”

“Hmph, let me be clear with you now. If a rift forms between me and Master Chu because of this matter, I shall forever hold you responsible.”

Where did all that anger within Gujiang come from? If he knew earlier on that there was an Alchemy Grandmaster in the Black Heaven Sect, he would be more prepared when he visited.

At least he would not have been as reckless as he was, leaving such a terrible first impression for others.

The Fifth Elder looked innocent when he replied, “Even I did not know that our lead disciple possessed that kind of skill.”

Gujiang did not bother to say anything more. He just turned around and left the brewing chamber.

“Sigh, where are you going now, Master Gu?”

“To find your Sect Leader.”

“What for? He doesn’t know anything about alchemy.”

“I’m joining the Black Heaven Sect!”

Upon hearing that, the Fifth Elder’s eyes instantly lit up.

‘If the renowned Alchemy Master like Gujiang is willing to join the Black Heaven Sect, then that’s great news!’

“Hold on Master Gu, I shall go with you.” The Fifth Elder quickly caught up to him. ‘I’m the one who brought Master Gu after all, so the Sect Leader should present me a bunch of soulstones as a reward, right?’
