Humans are devouring and selling off the heavens.

Chapter 62 Gu He: Please, Master Yao Yan, accept me as your disciple.
"Yunzhi?" Xiao Yan's voice was tinged with surprise, and it sounded particularly clear in the silent air.

Yun Yun slowly removed the robe and hat that covered her face, revealing a beautiful and elegant face to everyone.

When Xiao Yan's gaze met hers, an awkward silence filled the air.

What a small world...

"Sect Master Yun, do you know this friend?" Gu He keenly sensed the subtle atmosphere between the two, and a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes.

Yun Yun seemed not to hear, her beautiful eyes fixed on Xiao Yan, her gaze filled with complex emotions: "Yao Yan, it has only been a moment since we last parted, and now you are so imposing."

Her voice initially carried a hint of emotion, but then suddenly turned cold. "Should I praise your extraordinary talent, or should I question you—was that fighter's appearance earlier just a deliberate disguise?"

"A fighter?!" Gu He's expression changed instantly, his eyes widening in disbelief.

If that's true, then the young man before us is not only young, but he's also already a seventh-grade alchemist at such a young age?!
This realization struck him like a heavy blow to the heart.

Xiao Yan felt a throbbing pain in his temples, his mind filled with the thought, "This is terrible."

He racked his brains, but couldn't find an explanation. In his panic, he called out to the old doctor in his heart, "Uh, teacher, how do you think I should explain this..."

Yao Lao's slightly teasing laughter rang in Xiao Yan's mind: "Hehe, little Yanzi, although I am very gratified that you ask your teacher about everything, I am afraid I will disappoint you this time... Your teacher is still a bachelor and really has no experience in matters of the heart."

Before he could finish speaking, he changed the subject again: "However, since you can't explain it, let me explain it for you."

In an instant, the world changed color, dark clouds covered the sky, and a gale howled. Yun Yun, who was confronting Yao Yan, could only feel the restless energy of heaven and earth.

"This is?!"

Yun Yun parted her red lips slightly and opened her beautiful eyes a little, immediately feeling an even more terrifying soul power emanating from Xiao Yan's body.

The power was like an ancient behemoth awakening, instantly engulfing the entire city.

Apart from Yun Yun, everyone else seemed to have instantly fallen into the deep sea, as if they were carrying a heavy burden, with gravity increasing tenfold or a hundredfold.

Everyone's faces instantly turned bright red, their breathing became extremely difficult, and cold sweat poured down their foreheads like a waterfall.

The powerful warriors in the sky, like birds with broken wings, fell in droves under this oppressive force.

They did their best to adjust their posture and barely managed to land on the ground to avoid being smashed to pieces.

Several Dou Wangs scrambled to their feet, still shaken, and looked at Xiao Yan. They saw an almost tangible, transparent old man slowly emerge from Xiao Yan's body.

Dan Wang Guhe stared wide-eyed in horror at the scene before him, cold sweat pouring down his face like beads from a broken string.
"This is...this is the soul power of an eighth-grade alchemist?"

He came to seize Queen Medusa with a risky mindset and believed he had prepared for the worst.

But no one expected that they would encounter such a young seventh-grade alchemist and a terrifying eighth-grade alchemist in succession today!
However, what Yao Lao said next struck Gu He like a thunderbolt, leaving his mind blank.

The old alchemist's eyes blazed as he stared directly at Yun Yun, his voice booming: "Because he is my disciple, the disciple of a ninth-grade alchemist. Is that explanation enough?"

"Nine... Ninth rank?!" Gu He stared in disbelief, his mouth agape, wide enough to fit an egg.

All around, gasps of astonishment echoed through the city.

Yun Yun's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Yao Yan and the old man who had suddenly appeared.

She had previously said that Yao Yan's teacher was stingy, only giving his disciples low-level Yellow Rank cultivation techniques, and that he was just an unscrupulous teacher who led his students astray.

But to my surprise, the other party turned out to be a ninth-grade alchemist.

No one doubted what the old doctor had said.

The old man before them, with his terrifying soul pressure alone, was countless times more powerful than Queen Medusa!
Especially Yun Yun, whose teacher Yun Shan had already broken through to the Dou Zong level, was still far inferior to the soul power of the old man before her. What realm was Teacher Yao Yan at in his lifetime?
A Battle Saint?!
It is perfectly reasonable for a Battle Saint to cultivate his disciple to such an extent!
Her full breasts rose and fell slightly. Just as Yun Yun was about to say something, she heard a bang from beside her.

She turned around and saw that the usually arrogant Dan Wang Gu He was kneeling on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.

"Please accept Guhe as your disciple, senior. Guhe is willing to serve you like a slave."

This is a ninth-grade alchemist. Not only have you seen him here, but you've never even heard of him in the entire Northwest Continent.

Gu He was thrilled; this was an opportunity even greater than the Strange Fire.

A few strange flames can still be seen in this Northwest Continent, but if a ninth-grade alchemist misses this opportunity, they'll never have another chance.

No one present was surprised by this. Although Guhe was arrogant, he still had to know who he was facing.

In the Gama Empire, he was the foremost alchemist.

But a ninth-grade alchemist is a rare breed on the entire continent, and has never even been heard of in the Northwest Continent.

Not to mention Gu He, everyone present would have knelt down if they weren't all lacking in alchemy talent.

But when faced with the eager Gu He, Yao Lao coldly said, "Get up. I don't accept disciples. Xiao Yanzi is my only disciple."

He died because of the betrayal of his disciple Han Feng. Taking Xiao Yan as his disciple was not only compensation, but also the result of observing him for three years.

Upon hearing this, Guhe showed a hint of disappointment on his face.

But then, a sudden look of joy appeared on his face, and he kowtowed heavily to the old doctor.

The old apothecary was frowning, about to send him away, when Gu He quickly said:

“Master Yaoyan, you are already a seventh-grade alchemist at such a young age. Guhe is willing to serve you like a slave, always by your side, to learn from you. Please accept me as your apprentice.”

Everyone: "?!..."

Everyone present, including Xiao Yan, was stunned by these words.

Yun Yun and the several Dou Wangs brought by Gu He all stared wide-eyed at the Dan Wang of the Jia Ma Empire kneeling on the ground.

Xiao Yan awkwardly touched his nose and said:
"Ahem, Mr. Guhe, even if you become my disciple, I will not give you the strange fire."

But Gu He still prostrated himself and said, "My admiration for Master Yaoyan is like a surging river, never-ending. It is not for the sake of the strange fire. Please accept me."

Xiao Yan: "…………"

He realized that Guhe was after his teacher.

Damn, if I can't be an apprentice, I'll be a grand-apprentice?

Is this the Pill King Guhe? How shameless! Luckily, he's not my master, or I'd be utterly humiliated...

Xiao Yan couldn't help but look at Yao Lao again:
"Teacher, what do you mean by this?"

"Hehe, Master Xiao, please accept it. What else can I say?" Yao Lao chuckled.

"........."

Xiao Yan felt that ever since Yao Lao became stronger, he had become increasingly frivolous.
