Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 356 Old Guan, Zhu Zhuqing's Changes

"Senior has given you too much praise."

Dai Chengfeng remained humble, saying, "Your years of accumulated pharmacological knowledge and mastery of soul power in alchemy are also beyond my reach. We each have our own strengths."

"How about this……"

Dai Chengfeng changed the subject, "If you ever have any questions or doubts about alchemy in the future, I will answer them without reservation and discuss them with you."

"Furthermore, there are many things I could ask you for advice on."

After all, Yue Guan is a titled Douluo, and given his relationship with Gui Mei, befriending him is equivalent to befriending two titled Douluos, which is entirely beneficial.

Even though Dai Chengfeng already had Bibi Dong's protection...

But who would complain about having too many cards up their sleeve?
On the other side, Yue Guan's eyes lit up instantly when he heard Dai Chengfeng's suggestion.

Given his status, it was impossible for him to actually become Dai Chengfeng's disciple. Therefore, this suggestion was exactly what he wanted, giving him a reason to ask Dai Chengfeng for advice.

"This kid Dai Chengfeng not only has a monstrous talent for cultivation, but his alchemy skills are also astonishing. He's also mature and worldly-wise, and knows the coldness and warmth of human relationships..."

"In fact, this kid not only has the Star Luo Empire behind him, but also our Pope His Holiness."

"His future prospects are absolutely limitless!"

Yue Guan's mind raced, and she quickly assessed Dai Chengfeng's value—a promising Soul Master, Alchemy Master, prince of the Star Luo Empire, and a confidant of the Pope!

Making friends with him would be entirely beneficial, whether for improving one's alchemy skills, gaining future status, or even for his and Old Ghost's interests in the Spirit Hall!
Thinking of this, Yue Guan's gaze towards Dai Chengfeng became even more ardent. He patted his chest forcefully, his voice soft and feminine, making no attempt to hide his desire to reciprocate: "Good!"

"Chengfeng, since you're so straightforward! Just for those words, from now on, your affairs are my affairs!"

"Within the Spirit Hall, and even across the continent, wherever there's a need for me, Old Ju, I'll answer the call of a word! I'll brave mountains of knives and seas of fire without batting an eye! I've decided to be your friend!"

Dai Chengfeng looked at the solemn Yue Guan, smiled slightly, and returned the greeting with a cupped hand: "Senior is so kind, then let's... make it a deal?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Guan pointed with her orchid-like fingers, "It's all settled now, why are you still calling me 'senior'? It's too formal!"

"In the art of alchemy, those who are skilled are teachers. Chengfeng, your alchemy skills are far superior to mine. If you continue to call me 'senior,' where will I put my old face? Let's be equals!"

"If you don't mind, you can call me Lao Yue or Lao Guan, I'll just call you Chengfeng, how about that?"

Yue Guan spoke enthusiastically, completely setting aside his airs as a Title Douluo.

Dai Chengfeng was slightly taken aback, then realized that this was Yue Guan's further expression of goodwill.

He had been hoping to make friends with them, so he naturally wouldn't refuse. He readily agreed with a smile, "Since you've said so, Senior Yue Guan, then I'll respectfully accept your offer and will dare to call you Old Guan from now on."

"That's right! Chengfeng, you really are a straightforward person!"

The atmosphere became exceptionally harmonious, and the two exchanged brief pleasantries and discussed the art of alchemy for a while.

The two worlds have many different experiences, and Dai Chengfeng has benefited greatly from them.

It wasn't until Dai Chengfeng noticed that it was getting late that he looked at Yue Guan again: "Old Guan, I just discussed alchemy with you, and I learned a lot about the methods and experiences of refining pills with soul power."

"However, it's getting late, and I still need to refine another kind of pill."

"However, this pill formula is a closely guarded secret of the Star Luo Empire's royal family, and ancestral rules cannot be disobeyed, therefore you see..."

Dai Chengfeng didn't finish speaking, but looked at Yue Guan meaningfully.

Yue Guan instantly understood Dai Chengfeng's meaning, discerning the subtle implications from the words. Moreover, having personally witnessed Dai Chengfeng's miraculous alchemy technique that didn't require soul power, he was no longer worried about Dai Chengfeng wasting medicinal herbs.
That initial desire to supervise has long since vanished.

Therefore, Yue Guan showed an understanding look: "Understood! Understood! Chengfeng, don't worry, I know the rules." "You just use my pill room to refine them, and I'll go out for some fresh air and have dinner."

"Then thank you very much for your understanding, Elder Guan." Dai Chengfeng smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

…………

…………

Soon, Yue Guan had left, and the alchemy room returned to silence.

Dai Chengfeng took a deep breath, walked to the alchemy furnace again, and began refining the "Great Rejuvenation Pill" with smooth and effortless movements.

After all, this wasn't the first time Dai Chengfeng had refined the Great Rejuvenation Pill, so he was quite skilled at it. It only took him about half an hour for ten perfectly round, full, and vibrant brown-gold pills to fall into the jade bottle in his palm.

After carefully storing the pills and cleaning up any traces of his alchemy practice in the pill room, Dai Chengfeng pushed open the door and went out.

Outside the door, Yue Guan seemed to have really gone to dinner and was no longer there. Seeing this, Dai Chengfeng walked alone to his room, saying, "I can only thank you next time."

At this moment, the setting sun casts a golden glow across the sky, its rays illuminating the outlines of the Spirit Hall's buildings.

When Dai Chengfeng returned to his residence, he had just opened the door when he saw the warm yellow light shining from the dining room, and the aroma of food wafting in.

Empress Zhu Hongxiu of the Star Luo Empire, dressed in magnificent robes, sat gracefully in the main seat, sipping tea. High Priest Zhu Hongye and Zhu Zhuqing, dressed in a black outfit, sat on either side of her.

"Chengfeng, why are you so late today? Zhuqing has been waiting for you for a long time."

Seeing her son, Zhu Hongxiu smiled warmly and put down her teacup.

"Mother, High Priest, Zhu Qing..."

Dai Chengfeng walked over with a smile and greeted him, "Some things took a while, so I came back a little late. Were you all waiting for me to have dinner?"

At this moment, compared to Dai Chengfeng's naturalness, Zhu Zhuqing, upon seeing Dai Chengfeng, subconsciously recalled everything that had happened in the pool during the day...

For a moment, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and a barely perceptible hint of panic flashed in her cool eyes. She quickly lowered her head, picked up her teacup, took a sip, and dared not look directly at Dai Chengfeng.

But I have to say...

Her expression was much gentler than when they first met; at least she was no longer like a block of ice, so distant.

This scene naturally did not escape the eyes of Zhu Hongxiu, the Empress of the Star Luo Empire. She subconsciously exchanged a glance with Zhu Hongye, and both of them saw a hint of gratified smile in each other's eyes.

Now that Dai Chengfeng was back, dinner began quickly.

During the meal, Zhu Hongxiu continued to try her best to bring Dai Chengfeng and Zhu Zhuqing together. Compared to before, Zhu Zhuqing seemed a little awkward this time, even subconsciously reducing her conversations with Dai Chengfeng, but Zhu Hongxiu was very happy.

After all, she's been through it all herself.

After dinner, the night was deep, and a bright moon hung in the sky.

After seeing off his mother, the high priest, and Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Chengfeng stood alone under the corridor.

The moonlight, like water, shone on the boy's face.

The scenes that unfolded in the pool during the day flashed quickly through my mind...

Hu Liena's alluring and captivating eyes, her perfect and delicate figure, and Zhu Zhuqing's cool and stubborn expression tinged with a hint of bewilderment...

Suddenly, an indescribable feeling of heat surged into my heart.
