Chapter 242: The Sudden Admission of a Master

“There’s only one left!”

“Octagonal Mystical Spirit Grass. Could it be that this spirit herb is also perfectly refined?”

“Absolutely impossible. In the past thousand years, no one other than that Emperor has ever been able to perfectly refine the essence of the Octagonal Mystical Spirit Grass. Although this fellow’s refining level is indeed astonishing, compared to that…”

In the square, several elders of the Medicine King Valley were conversing in low voices.

Although the current result had greatly exceeded their expectations, they still did not think highly of this last Octagonal Mystical Spirit Grass extraction.

In order to perfectly balance the eight elements in the process of refining, that level of mental strength was definitely not something that a young-looking kid could possess.

However, not long after, reality slapped them in the face.

Elder Liu picked up the last jade bottle with trembling hands and slowly opened it.

In the next moment, a rich medicinal fragrance instantly gushed out in all directions.

In an instant, it actually completely covered the medicinal fragrance of the other spirit herbs present!

Not only that, the medicinal fragrance was also mixed with incomparably pure elemental energy.

Gold, wood, water, fire, Earth, wind, thunder, and ice!

There were a total of eight types, and not a single one of them was missing!

The disciples of Medicine King Valley greedily breathed in the elements in the air. Just by smelling it, they could feel that their spiritual power was faintly showing signs of rising!

“Octagonal Mystical Spirit Grass… it’s also a perfect refinement!”

Soon, Elder Liu gave the final result of the refinement of the spiritual herb.

Instantly, the entire square exploded.

“Perfectly refining the Octagonal Mystical Spirit Grass… how could this be…”

“This fellow really can not be underestimated!”

“Perfectly refining the essence of the Octagonal Mystical Spirit Grass, I never dared to think of it even in my dreams!”

Exclamations rose and fell one after another, and everyone’s faces were filled with shock.

Thousands of gazes fell on the slightly thin figure in the middle of the square. This time, no one dared to underestimate this fellow who seemed to not know how to refine medicine.

“Big Brother Gu…” Fang Qinyu’s gaze was also locked onto that figure as she muttered.

Even though she did not know much about refining medicine, based on the changes in the crowd, it was not difficult for her to see what kind of achievements Gu Xi had made in refining medicine.

While she was surprised, she became more and more curious about Gu Xi’s identity.

Where did such an outstanding person come from?

On the other hand, Cao Hua’s expression was as ugly as if he had eaten shit.

He had originally let Gu Xi participate in the conference to make him lose face in front of everyone. He did not expect himself to unintentionally become a stepping stone for Gu Xi.

“Impossible!”

“There must be a problem with the refinement. He cheated!”

A moment later, Cao Hua suddenly spoke loudly. His figure flashed and he appeared in front of elder Liu. Without saying anything, he snatched the jade bottle from Elder Liu’s hand.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Cao Hua with disdain.

Cheating in front of so many people?

Did he really think that everyone was blind?

However, the surging elemental energy in the jade bottle made Cao Hua speechless.

This level of spirit medicine essence was indeed unique.

“There is no problem in refining it. This is indeed a perfect essence,” Elder Liu’s expression was a little ugly as he glanced at Cao Hua and said.

As the judge of the conference, Cao Hua openly mentioned that Gu Xi was cheating. This would indirectly indicate that he was a useless judge, right?

However, he did not have the leisure time to talk nonsense with Cao Hua when faced with the five perfect spirit medicine essences in front of him. He sealed the jade bottles one by one, he said loudly, “Next, I announce that the final winner of this alchemist competition is Gu Xi!”

Everyone shouted Gu Xi’s name once these words were said.

However, Cao Hua’s expression became increasingly unsightly.

Rumble–

At the same time, a loud sound suddenly came from the depths of the Medicine King Valley.

In the next moment, a thick spirit energy light pillar soared into the sky and an overwhelming pressure rolled over. In the blink of an eye, it enveloped the entire Medicine King Valley.

Gu Xi’s expression did not change as he looked over, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

This aura was clearly that of an expert who had stepped into the Saint realm.

Looking at the unperturbed expressions of the people around him, that person must be the Medicine King Valley’s Valley Master.

As the spiritual power light pillar slowly dissipated, it turned into a shocking long rainbow that rushed towards the square.

Very quickly, an old man who looked like a sage appeared in the square.

“Greetings, Valley Master!”

Everyone present knelt down on one knee and spoke in unison.

This person was the current Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, Wu Nanshan!

Only Gu Xi and the other two were still standing in the same spot. Gu Xi and Fang Qinyu saluted as juniors, and only Little Nine had not moved at all from the beginning until now.

As a genuine divine beast, she did not care about the etiquette of these humans.

Wu Nanshan casually waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be overly courteous. Then, he suddenly disappeared from where he was. When he reappeared, there were already five jade bottles in his hands.

He slowly swallowed his words and opened the jade bottles one by one.

His expression gradually became one of disbelief.

“This is actually… Real!”

Wu Nanshan threw his head back and shouted, completely losing the dignity of a sect leader.

“Did you refine this thing?”

A moment later, Wu Nanshan suddenly looked at Gu Xi who was not far away.

Gu Xi nodded.

Then, he came to Gu Xi’s side and made a move that shocked everyone.

He slowly knelt on the ground and shouted with tears in his eyes, “Please accept me as your disciple!”

With this short sentence, the entire square fell into a dead silence once again.

“Am I hallucinating? Does the Valley Master want to acknowledge this guy as his master?”

“You are not hallucinating. This is the truth!”

Many disciples of the Medicine King Valley looked at the two of them in shock, not knowing what to do.

“Valley Master is joking. Please get up quickly.”

Looking at Wu Nanshan who was kneeling in front of her, Gu Xi did not know whether to laugh or cry. He hurriedly helped him up.

Wu Nanshan shook his head and said with a serious expression, “In the entire continent, you’re the best person I’ve ever seen who can refine spirit herbs. There’s no need to be embarrassed to acknowledge you as my Master!”

Gu Xi smiled bitterly, but for a moment, he did not know how to say it.

He could say that she relied on the System to perfectly refine the essence, right?

Even if this old man acknowledged him as Master, there was nothing much to teach him!

“I was too abrupt.”

Seemingly seeing Gu Xi’s dilemma, Wu Nanshan hurriedly stood up and said with a solemn expression. “Although I don’t know why you are here, I think there should be something that you need my help with. Please follow me to my residence to discuss it in detail.”

After saying that, the old man turned around and took the lead to leave, slowly walking towards the depths of Medicine King Valley.

Gu Xi hurriedly motioned for little nine and Fang Qinyu to follow. Before he left, he did not forget to grin at Cao Hua who was not far away with an unsightly expression.
