Chapter 3670 Ninth-Rank Immortal Alchemist

Gongsun Hong was completely awestruck by Young Master Ye's Alchemy skills, prostrating himself on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly.

He had been stuck at the Eighth-Rank Immortal Pill Master Realm for a long time, and to pursue the Ninth-Rank Immortal Pill Master Realm, he did not hesitate to live in seclusion in Immortal Herb Valley.

He continuously honed his Alchemy skills using the medicinal herbs there, but after so many years, he still had nothing to show for it.

Although Young Master Ye was young, refining Ninth-Rank Immortal Pills was as simple as eating and drinking for him, and out of extreme admiration, the thought of becoming his Disciple arose in Gongsun Hong.

The Luo Family members secretly clicked their tongues in amazement. In their eyes, an Eighth-Rank Immortal Pill Master was definitely a high and mighty figure, always treated as an honored guest wherever he went.

But now, he was kneeling at Young Master Ye's feet, like a devout young apprentice.

Young Master Ye, however, remained calm: "You are not worthy to be my Disciple!"

Luo Wushan and the others did not speak, but they sighed inwardly.

This was an Eighth-Rank Immortal Pill Master, yet he was now being told he wasn't even worthy of being a Disciple. Only Young Master Ye had the right to say such a thing.

"Uh…"

Gongsun Hong was stunned for a moment. In the past, countless people had chased after him to become his Disciple, but now he was rejected after kneeling, which surprised him.

After a brief daze, he kowtowed again: "This Disciple knows he is dull, please Master, be merciful and teach me the Dao of Alchemy!"

"I can give you some pointers, but you are indeed not worthy of being my Disciple."

Young Master Ye hesitated, "Considering your sincerity in seeking me as your Master, how about this?

I will accept you as a Named Disciple. If you perform well in the future, I will consider bringing you into my inner circle!"

"This Disciple thanks Master for his great kindness!"

Gongsun Hong was overjoyed. He immediately took out an incense table and placed it to the side, then knelt on the ground and performed the grand ceremony of apprenticeship.

What he pursued was the Dao of Alchemy, and being able to receive guidance from an expert like Young Master Ye was already satisfying. As for the title of Disciple, he could strive for it in the future.

Young Master Ye sat in the main seat, took the tea handed to him, and took a small sip.

"Alright,

From now on, you are my Named Disciple. Feel free to ask if you have any questions about the Dao of Alchemy."

He had his own plans. Since he was preparing to develop the Luo Family, he needed an Immortal Pill Master to be in charge, otherwise the Cultivation resources would not be enough.

However, what he wanted was not the high and mighty grand old man from before, but someone who would be at his disposal, without any second thoughts or betrayal.

It was precisely for this reason that he displayed his Alchemy skills, completely subduing Gongsun Hong and making him a member of the Luo Family.

"This Disciple thanks Master for his teachings!"

Gongsun Hong stood up from the ground and respectfully stood beside Young Master Ye, completely observing the etiquette of a Disciple.

"You all wait for me here first."

Now that Immortal Herb Valley had been completely subdued, Young Master Ye no longer held back. He got up and set up a Ninth-Tier Defensive Formation around the valley.

With this Formation protecting it, this place would completely belong to the Luo Family from now on. Even if Gu Family Stronghold and Dragon Head Mountain joined forces, they would not be able to reclaim it.

After doing all this, he returned to the valley, where Gongsun Hong was waiting respectfully.

"Master, can you please guide me on how to become a Ninth-Rank Immortal Pill Master?"

"That's simple."

From Eighth-Rank Immortal Pill Master to Ninth-Rank, it was out of reach for others, but for Young Master Ye, it was simply a piece of cake.

"You start Alchemy now, and I will guide you."

"Thank you, Master!"

Gongsun Hong was overjoyed. He had been stuck at the Eighth-Rank Immortal Pill Master Realm for thousands of years, constantly striving, but always unable to find a way to reach the Ninth-Rank. Today, he finally saw hope.

He took a deep breath, sat before the Pill Furnace, and began Alchemy. This time, he was still refining the Harmonizing Pill.

"Follow my rhythm. Light the fire, add the Fire Grass, and after five breaths, add the Withered Leaf Vine…"

Young Master Ye began to guide the other party in Alchemy. Everything was orderly. Although he seemed casual, he grasped every step perfectly, down to the smallest detail.

As an Eighth-Rank Immortal Pill Master, Gongsun Hong's basic Alchemy skills were very solid. What he lacked was the grasp of details and the comprehension of Alchemy.

Under Young Master Ye's guidance, these two shortcomings were quickly remedied. After about half an hour, a rich Medicinal Pill fragrance wafted over.

"Finally, success!"

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Gongsun Hong performed a Pill Collection Art. Soon, six Medicinal Pills fell into the jade bottle in his hand, each with a single Pill Mark.

Although very faint, it was truly present.

"Hahaha, I succeeded, I really succeeded now!"

The white-haired Gongsun Hong suddenly jumped up, excited like a child, then plopped to his knees, thanking Young Master Ye again.

"Get up, this is nothing."

For Young Master Ye, guiding a Ninth-Rank Immortal Pill Master was truly no difficulty at all.

"Practice a few more times later, and completely transform the experience you just gained into your own insights."

"I will strictly follow Master's teachings!"

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

Young Master Ye said, "Now I have a few questions for you."

"Master, please ask. This Disciple will tell you everything he knows."

"Have you ever heard any news about bodhi heart, kirin horn, and Creation Immortal Spirit Zhi in this Middle Heaven Region?"

"This…"

Hearing the three Spirit Medicines Young Master Ye mentioned, Gongsun Hong was first stunned, then shook his head.

"Master, these three Spirit Medicines you mentioned are all priceless, and it's no exaggeration to call them rare treasures.

I've only heard their names, but there's no news of them in this Middle Heaven Region."

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

Gongsun Hong felt quite ashamed for receiving such great favor but being unable to help at all.

"Master, for finding Spirit Medicines, you should look for Jubao Pavilion.

There's a Jubao Pavilion marketplace a million li away, and I'm somewhat acquainted with the manager there.

There will be an auction there in seven days. We can go try our luck, and even if we don't find them, we can ask them to help us search.

Jubao Pavilion specializes in this business and has countless connections and information channels. Their search will definitely be much more efficient than ours."

Young Master Ye nodded slightly. This was indeed a good idea. Professional matters should be left to professionals, which would be more effective.

"Alright then, it's settled. You should focus on practicing the Dao of Alchemy first, and we'll depart in a few days."

"Yes, this Disciple will not disappoint Master!"

Gongsun Hong respectfully nodded, then began to open his Pill Furnace and refine Medicinal Pills again, consolidating the Alchemy skills he had just learned.

Over the next three days, under Young Master Ye's guidance, his Alchemy skills improved by leaps and bounds.

He completely stabilized at the Ninth-Rank Immortal Pill Master Realm, which made him feel even more respectful and grateful.

The Luo Family members were also very happy. This meant they had a Ninth-Rank Immortal Pill Master in charge, and it would be difficult for their Family not to become powerful in the future.

Just as everyone was extremely happy, a roar suddenly came from outside Immortal Herb Valley.

"Luo Family, Young Master Ye, get out here!"
