Chapter 3670: Ninth Rank Immortal Alchemist

s she turned back."What do you mean, 'is there anything else'" Ye Bufan said. "You raped me, you can't just walk away without saying anything""You..."Her cheeks flushed with anger, but she finally sai...Gongsun Hong was completely convinced by Ye Bufan's alchemy skills, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing incessantly.

It is known that he had been stuck at the eighth rank of Immortal Alchemist for a long time. In pursuit of the ninth rank, he did not hesitate to recluse himself in the Valley of Immortal Herbs.

He had been honing his alchemy skills relentlessly with the herbs here for years, but to no avail.

While Ye Bufan was young, he refined ninth-rank pills as easily as eating and drinking. Extreme admiration gave rise to the thought of becoming his disciple.

The members of the Luo family looked at each other in astonishment. In their eyes, a master alchemist of rank eight was an extremely important figure, always treated like a guest of honor wherever they went.

Who is now kneeling at Ye Bufan's feet, just like a devout schoolboy.

Ye Bufan, however, remained calm and composed: "You're not worthy to be my disciple!"

Luo Wushan and the others remained silent, but their hearts were filled with a mixture of emotions.

This is an eighth-rank Immortal Alchemist, but now he's called not even worthy to be a disciple. Only Master Ye has the qualification to say such words.

"Uh..."

Gongsun Hong was stunned. In the past, countless people had flocked to him to become his disciples. Now, he was kneeling and begging, yet being rejected. This left him feeling rather awkward.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, he bowed again: "Disciple understands his own clumsiness. Please, Master, show mercy and teach me the way of alchemy!"

"I could give you some pointers, but you're not worthy of being my disciple."

Ye Bufan hesitated for a moment, "Seeing your sincerity in wanting to become my disciple, here's what we can do. "

"I'll take you on as an apprentice, and if you perform well, I'll consider inducting you into the inner circle!"

“The disciple thanks Master for his great kindness and virtue!”

Gongsun Hong was overjoyed and immediately took out a fragrant altar and placed it beside him. He knelt down and performed a grand ceremony of bowing to his master.

What he sought was the path of alchemy, and to receive guidance from esteemed individuals like Ye Bufan already filled him with contentment. As for the title of disciple, he could strive for it in the future.

Ye Bufan sat majestically in the main seat, accepting the tea he offered, and taking a delicate sip.

"Alright, from now on you'll be my registered disciple. If you ever have any questions about the art of alchemy, feel free to ask."

He had his own plans. Since he was preparing to develop the Lu family, he needed a celestial alchemist to sit in charge, otherwise, the cultivation resources would simply not be enough.

But what he wanted wasn't that kind of aloof, high-and-mighty figure from before. He wanted someone who would be at his service, someone utterly loyal and trustworthy, incapable of betrayal.

That's why he showed off his alchemy skills, completely convincing Gongsun Hong and making him a member of the Luo family.

"The disciple thanks the master for his teachings!"

Gongsun Hong stood up from the ground and respectfully stood beside Ye Bufan, completely performing the etiquette of a disciple.

"Wait for me here."

Now that the Immortal Medicine Valley has been completely subdued, Ye Bufan made no further concessions. He got up and set up a ninth-order defensive formation around the valley.

With this formation guarding it, this place will completely belong to the Luo family. Even if the Gu Family Village and Long Head Mountain join forces, they won't be able to take it back.

After finishing all of this, he returned to the valley. Gongsun Hong waited there respectfully.

"Master, could you please give me some advice on how to become a ninth rank Immortal Alchemist"

"This is simple."

From an eighth-rank celestial alchemist to a ninth-rank, it was something out of reach for others, but for Ye Bufan, it was simply child's play.

"You're starting to refine your elixir now, and I'll guide you through it."

"Thank you, Master!"

Gongsun Hong was overjoyed. He had been stuck at the eighth rank of Xian Dan Shi for thousands of years, constantly striving but unable to find a way to reach the ninth rank. Today, he finally saw hope.

Take a deep breath, sit in front of the alchemy furnace and begin to refine the pill. This time, I'm still refining Xuan Dan.

"Walk at my pace, build the fire, put in the flame grass, after five breaths put in the withered vine…"

Ye Bufan began to guide the other party in alchemy. Everything was orderly and well-regulated. Although he seemed nonchalant, every step was perfect, precise to the millisecond.

As an eighth-rank immortal alchemist, Gongsun Hong's basic alchemy skills were very solid. What he lacked was a grasp of the details and an understanding of alchemy itself.

But under Ye Bufan's guidance, he quickly made up for these two shortcomings. After about half an hour, a strong fragrance of medicinal herbs wafted over.

"Finally, I did it!"

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Gongsun Hong performed a closing dan technique. Soon, six pills fell into the jade bottle in his hand, each with a trace of dan lines.

Although faint, it truly exists.

"Haha, I did it! I'm actually successful now!"

With a head full of white hair, Gongsun Hong jumped up suddenly, excitedly like a child. Then, with a thud, he knelt down and thanked Ye Bufan once again.

"Get up, this isn't a big deal."

For Ye Bufan, guiding a Ninth Rank Immortal Dan Master was nothing difficult at all.

"Wait a moment and practice a few more times, thoroughly transforming the experience you just had into your own insights."

Gongsun Hong lowered his head, his eyes filled with genuine respect.

Ye Bufan said, “Now I have a few questions for you.”

"Master, please ask anything. The disciple will certainly answer truthfully."

"Have you heard of the news about Bodhi Heart, Qilin Horn, and the Xianlingzhi of Good Fortune in this celestial realm"

"This..."

Upon hearing Ye Bufan's mention of the three-flavor elixir, Gongsun Hong was initially stunned. He then shook his head.

"Master, you said these three divine herbs are priceless, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them rare treasures."

I've only heard the name, there's no word of it in this celestial realm.

Although Ye Bufan had expected it, he was still a little disappointed.

Gongsun Hong received such great kindness, yet he couldn't help at all. He felt deeply ashamed in his heart.

"Master, for finding spirit medicines, you should go to Ju Bao Pavilion."

Outside this million li there's a treasure pavilion market, and I'm considered an acquaintance with the manager there.

Seven days later, there will be an auction there. We can go and try our luck. Even if we don't find it, we can ask them to help us look for it.

"The Treasure Pavilion does business in this area, and they have countless connections and information channels. They are definitely much more efficient than us at finding things."

Ye Bufan nodded slightly. This was indeed a good idea. Leave professional matters to professionals; the results would be better this way.

"Well then, it's settled. You better get started practicing alchemy right away. We'll depart in a few days."

"Yes, the disciple will definitely not disappoint Master!"

Gongsun Hong nodded respectfully and then began to start the furnace again, consolidating the alchemy techniques he had just learned.

Over the next three days, under Ye Bufan's guidance, his alchemy skills made rapid progress.

He was completely stable at the realm of a ninth-grade Immortal Alchemist, which filled him with even more admiration and gratitude.

The Luo family was also extremely happy. This meant they had a ninth-rank celestial alchemist sitting in their clan, and it would be difficult for the family not to become powerful in the future.

Just as everyone was overjoyed, a roar suddenly came from outside the Immortal Herb Valley.

"Luo family, Ye Bufan, get out here!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! medicine, not to create a powerful enemy for myself.Besides, running away would leave the Su family's father and daughter behind. That wasn't what he wanted to see.Liu Meiniang said dissatisfiedly, "...
