Starting from a short stick, becoming the master of the universe

"Morning, Manager."

"Morning, Master Jiang!"

"Morning, Master Jiang."

The next morning.

Not long after Jiang Cheng and Gu Changkong set out, they met several alchemists.

A few people greeted Gu Changkong symbolically and then surrounded Jiang Cheng.

"Master Jiang, I heard that someone broke into the alchemy room yesterday and wanted to harm you. Did you get into trouble?"

"Yes, Master Jiang, are you injured?"

"Could it be the same group of people from the Liming Society? This is too much. Master Jiang has already retired for a long time, why is he still haunting us?"

Several people were filled with indignation.

Jiang Cheng's origins are no longer a big secret in the community.

After all, there are so many wanted posters posted outside, and anyone who is interested can find out by asking around.

Jiang Cheng felt a little uncomfortable with the enthusiasm of the few people and waved his hands quickly.

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."

"It's good that the person is fine. That person is so bold that he dared to come here and kill people!"

"That's right! If you count the last time, this is the second time, right?"

"Fortunately, our Director Gu is capable and those two waves of people who came to cause trouble were all killed."

The eyes of several people then fell on Gu Changkong.

"Boss, I think we must teach that Dawn Society a lesson!"

"That's right, we can't let them harm Master Jiang again and again!"

Gu Changkong quickly agreed.

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Several alchemists looked at each other, and finally Xu Hai coughed, "Master Jiang, you gave us a lecture on alchemy more than half a month ago. We all learned a lot from it and made some progress in alchemy. But recently we have encountered some problems. Can you spare another day to guide us?"

"Yes, yes, Master Jiang."

Others chimed in.

"Okay, wait two days."

Jiang Cheng knew that the sudden concern was all for a purpose.

However, for Gu Changkong's sake, he would not refuse.

"In two days, right?"

"That's the third day?"

"Okay, okay, then it's settled. Thank you, Master Jiang."

"Yes, yes, thank you Master Jiang."

Several people were laughing so hard that they couldn't stop.

Gu Changkong, who was standing aside, couldn't help but smile.

If he was hinting at Jiang Cheng, the latter would definitely not refuse.

But as it is now, it would be best if the latter agreed willingly.

Everyone entered the door, and Jiang Cheng, surrounded by several people, walked towards the alchemy room.

Gu Changkong watched them leave. Just in case, he would stay here for the rest of the time.

And judging from the time, that person should be here soon.

Less than half an hour later, an old man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties appeared at the door of the laboratory building.

The next moment, Gu Changkong appeared and, with a very respectful attitude, invited the old man into an empty room.

"Mr. Zou, please have some tea."

Gu Changkong presented a cup of hot tea with both hands.

"Not so polite."

The old man surnamed Zou looked up at Gu Changkong and said, "Gu's kid, let me be frank. I am only a Level 2 Spiritual Master with limited abilities. If the person who comes is too strong, I can't do anything about it. But I will not return the money you gave me. If you agree to this, then I will stay. If you don't agree, forget it."

To be honest, the reason why he agreed to Gu Changkong was, on the one hand, for the sake of money, and on the other hand, he had worked with Gu Changkong many times and knew that the latter was a reliable person.

Otherwise, I don't want to get involved in this matter anyway. "No problem."

Gu Changkong quickly agreed.

"Mr. Zou, you can act according to circumstances. If the person who comes is really too strong, I won't say anything."

"Ah."

The old man surnamed Zou nodded.

"Your words are enough."

"Mr. Zou."

Gu Changkong wanted to say something else.

The other party raised his hand and said, "There is no need to repeat what I said before. I am used to being idle and don't want to be restricted."

Gu Changkong could only sigh.

That's right, he just wanted to recruit the other party.

Even if we have to pay several times more, it doesn’t matter. As long as nothing happens in Jiangcheng, these investments are nothing.

The result was the same as before, and I was rejected.

"Which room is that kid in?"

"number 19."

The old man surnamed Zou immediately used his mental power to look towards Room 19.

Jiang Cheng, who was refining the elixir, immediately sensed something.

But this feeling comes and goes quickly.

As the old man surnamed Zou withdrew his mental power, his brows slightly frowned.

This person seems a little familiar to him?

By the way, I’ve seen it in the black market.

The one that left the deepest impression on me was when this guy had a conflict with a woman. The latter wanted to fight, but was stopped by him at the critical moment.

Later, he seemed to have joined a small group of psychics, but ended up joining the black market?

"No wonder I didn't meet him in the black market these few times."

The old man surnamed Zou said in his heart.

I didn't expect that this kid is also an alchemy genius that Gu Changkong pays so much attention to him.

What a pity, I stood on the wrong side.

"I understand. I'll help you watch it."

"Thank you, Mr. Zou."

Gu Changkong thanked him again, "Then I won't bother Mr. Zou anymore."

After saying that, he stood up, pushed the door and walked out.

That’s right, this old man is the master who helps to manage the black market on the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month.

Although it is only level two, the telekinetic weapon in the opponent's hand is the top S-level telekinetic weapon, which can harm a level three grandmaster. With this person's help, he will have less pressure next time.

However, he knew his fifth brother very well, and he would not go back on his word if he had something on him.

But the old man named Zou in the room shook his head.

To put it bluntly, he didn't think highly of Gu Changkong.

If it was Gu Changlin who invited him, he would agree without hesitation. After all, the former had a great chance of becoming the next head of the Gu family. Even now, what he could give him was several times more than what Gu Changkong could give him.

It's a pity that he thinks highly of others, but others look down on him. After all, he is too old. At such an old age, he is only a second-level spiritual master.

As for the person in room 19.

The better he is at alchemy, the more difficult it is for Gu Changkong to be protected.

The competition within a large family is extremely brutal. Even brothers kill each other, let alone half-brothers.

Once there is an opportunity or a sign, others will not miss it, unless they are fools, Gu Changlin? Obviously not.

"Forget it, what does this have to do with me? I'm just here to make some money. If there's really a powerful person, I'll stop him if I can, but forget it if I can't."

He laughed at himself, closed his eyes, and began to practice.
