CHAPTER 191: CHAPTER 191: GRATITUDE

"Welcome, Young Master Feng! Please come in, Young Master Feng!"

Seeing Gu Chenfeng approaching, the guard quickly greeted him respectfully.

One of the guards said respectfully, "Young Master Feng, the Grand Elder just sent a message, I didn’t expect you to arrive so soon, please follow me."

"Thank you." Gu Chenfeng replied politely.

Just entering the merchant association, Gu Chenfeng sensed a vast soul power, and thought to himself, "An Eighth-Grade Alchemist, this is the soul power of the Earth Ancestor, I didn’t expect to encounter it this time."

Just from this strong soul power, Gu Chenfeng knew who it was.

Gu Chenfeng had merged all the memories of the Eternal Celestial Emperor, and naturally knew of the existence of the Earth Ancestor from Ancient God Mountain.

"Hmm? Where has that boy Gu Chenfeng gone?"

Arriving at the entrance of the merchant association, Ling Qiushui wondered, "Wasn’t he just at the entrance? Where did he run off to?"

"Welcome, Fairy Qiushui, Fairy Shangguan." The guard greeted them respectfully, thinking to himself, "The Grand Elder’s guess was right, Fairy Qiushui would certainly follow."

Ling Qiushui asked the guard, "Have you seen Gu Chenfeng?"

The guard answered respectfully, "Young Master Feng has already gone inside."

Ling Qiushui then said, "Take me to see Great Elder Tianjizi, I have something important to discuss with him."

The guard responded awkwardly, "Fairy Qiushui, the Grand Elder and others have been in seclusion refining pills for days, and orders were given that no one is to disturb them."

Ling Qiushui still wanted to speak, but Shangguan Yanran quickly stopped her, whispering, "The Great Elder Tianjizi might not have refined the pill yet, we should avoid disturbing them."

"That’s true." Ling Qiushui nodded, "Let’s find that boy and get some good stuff."

...

After a short while.

With the Guardian leading the way, Gu Chenfeng arrived at a luxurious pavilion in the back hall.

"Reporting to the Grand Elder, Young Master Feng has arrived." The Guardian said respectfully, then indicated for Gu Chenfeng to wait, and retreated himself.

"The Earth Ancestor wants to see me? He must think I am as I was in my previous life." Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly.

The guard had just turned and left.

Several elders emerged from the pavilion.

The youngest among them was the Netherworld King.

Mie Wuqing and Mie Yunkong immediately set their sights on Gu Chenfeng.

When they saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth, they were inwardly disappointed.

Mie Yunkong thought to himself, "Turns out it’s just the same name, not him."

"Seems it’s merely a name match, with no soul power fluctuation, doesn’t resemble him either, likely not his descendant." Earth Ancestor shook his head inwardly.

Gu Chenfeng glanced at Mie Wuqing and Mie Yunkong, thinking, "Earth Ancestor seems to have hit a bottleneck, hasn’t stepped into the Mahayana Stage after all these years, yet Mie Yunkong has broken through to the Tribulation Stage."

Earth Ancestor was the first to speak, smiling as he asked, "Young fellow, are you Gu Chenfeng?"

"I am." Gu Chenfeng nodded.

Tianjizi smiled and introduced, "Young Master Feng, let me introduce you, this is the old ancestor of Ancient God Mountain, also the ancestor of the merchant association, known as Earth Ancestor, and this lady is the president of the merchant association, Mie Yunkong."

"Greetings, Earth Ancestor, greetings, President." Gu Chenfeng bowed respectfully and smiled, pretending not to know them.

Mie Yunkong nodded with a smile, "The matters concerning the Ancient Divine Sect, the Netherworld King has already informed us, and you have somewhat contributed the Nine Revolutions Primordial Spirit Pill formula to the merchant association, however, I am curious about your origins."

The Netherworld King spoke, "Young Master Feng, Earth Ancestor has already guessed that the Late Stage Crossing Tribulation expert is the Great Venerable Yao Hun, and also guessed you are from the Medicine God Hall."

Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly, not showing the slightest surprise.

Since the Medicine God Hall has emerged, the existence of Yao Hun will eventually be known in the Cultivation Realm.

Mie Yunkong continued, "If you were merely a disciple of the Medicine God Hall, it would be challenging to invite the Great Venerable Yao Hun, claiming you are a descendant of Medicine God Hall, but you call yourself Gu Chenfeng, which makes me very curious."

Gu Chenfeng smiled lightly, "I have received the inheritance of Medicine God Hall, though not a descendant, I am now the Young Master of Medicine God Hall."

"Medicine God Hall inheritance?" Earth Ancestor and Mie Yunkong’s expressions changed simultaneously, both seeming to realize something.

Mie Yunkong was astonished in his heart, immediately transmitting his voice, "Earth Ancestor, Medicine God Hall’s inheritance, could it be his inheritance?"

Earth Ancestor transmitted his voice, "He has already ascended to the Immortal Realm, it is indeed possible he left an inheritance, if it’s truly his inheritance, this young fellow will surely become another Supreme Venerable in the Cultivation Realm in the future."

"Young Master of Medicine God Hall!" Tianjizi, several elders, and the Netherworld King were all shocked, their eyes wide open.

Gu Chenfeng is the Young Master of Medicine God Hall!

Previously just a disciple of the Ancient Divine Sect, now transformed into the Young Master of Medicine God Hall.

This made it difficult for several elders to accept momentarily.

No wonder he could invite Yao Hun, with the status of Young Master of Medicine God Hall, it was entirely possible.

Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly, "Earth Ancestor, President, several elders, I have come this time specifically to thank the merchant association for their assistance, without the Netherworld King’s intervention, the Ancient Divine Sect would have suffered greater casualties."

"Young Master Feng is too kind." Earth Ancestor smiled slightly, "To receive the Medicine God Hall’s inheritance signifies you are an extraordinary talent, destined for greatness in the future."

Gu Chenfeng bowed with a smile, "Thank you for your kind words, Earth Ancestor."

Tianjizi snapped out of his shock, quickly bowing, "Old man here agrees with Young Master Feng, yet still caused casualties to the Ancient Divine Sect, I am truly apologetic."

"I barely have time to thank you, Grand Elder, no need to apologize." Gu Chenfeng smiled lightly, "No one anticipated that the Profound Cyan Sect would take action, much less send a Tribulation Stage expert, the Grand Elder need not blame himself."

"To express my gratitude for the merchant association’s assistance, I have come today to aid in refining the Nine Revolutions Primordial Spirit Pill, I believe several elders have attempted to refine it, but have you successfully refined it?"

"Nine Revolutions Primordial Spirit Pill?" Mie Yunkong frowned slightly, never having heard of such a pill.

Tianjizi replied awkwardly, "Young Master Feng, despite the pill being of Sixth Grade, the refining is exceptionally difficult, these past days we have been refining, yet all efforts ended in failure."

"Oh? All failed?" Earth Ancestor was surprised.

Though Tianjizi and others are of Sixth Grade Alchemist realm, their alchemical skills far surpass the typical Sixth Grade, yet it is still insufficient for refining a Sixth Grade pill?

An elder smiled bitterly, "The refining of the Nine Revolutions Primordial Spirit Pill is indeed very challenging."

Mie Yunkong curiously asked, "Young Master Feng, is this Nine Revolutions Primordial Spirit Pill from Medicine God Hall?"

"That’s right." Gu Chenfeng chuckled lightly, "This pill indeed originates from Medicine God Hall, reputed to be a pill formula left by the ancestor of Medicine God Hall, capable of tripling the cultivation speed for those with Golden Core and Nascent Soul, only Medicine God Hall possesses this pill formula in the Cultivation Realm."

"What? Triple the cultivation speed?" Earth Ancestor and Mie Yunkong were astonished.

As an Eighth Grade Alchemist, Earth Ancestor himself was hearing of such a powerful Sixth Grade pill for the first time.

Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly, "If Earth Ancestor and President are interested, we can refine this pill together later, the pill formula and refining technique have already been gifted to the merchant association."
