Chapter 35: The Path of an Alchemist
Gu Fengchen was stunned for a moment. He never expected that Yao Ye would be so generous and directly took out a fourth-level magical beast soft armor and gave it to him.
According to his estimation, if this level of soft armor were put up for auction, it would fetch at least a million gold coins.
Gu Fengchen said in a deep voice: "Sister Yaoye, I can't accept this. I can't accept this without merit. This is too precious."
Gu Fengchen has a bottom line, and he is not willing to owe favors to others.
Yao Ye thought about it, smiled, and said, "But you are my brother. Is it necessary for an elder sister to be so formal when giving something to her younger brother?"
Gu Fengchen was quite surprised that Yao Ye was so proactive in building a closer relationship. Of course, to Yao Ye, a piece of soft armor was really nothing. A young man who could win such an evaluation from Jia Lao was worthy of Yao Ye's investment.
Gu Fengchen frowned, but did not refuse, and said seriously: "I accept this soft armor. If Sister Yaoye needs my help someday, I will definitely help within my ability!"
Yao Ye smiled and waved his hand, "It's a deal. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, Yao Ye left very decisively!
Gu Fengchen took a deep breath. This soft rice smells so good!
Although he has an indestructible golden body, he will still be injured if a strong man at the level of a great fighter hits him with all his strength, so this soft armor is still very necessary for Gu Fengchen now.
The carriage in the night went farther and farther away.
All the women who had previously clamored to give birth to babies for Gu Fengchen have left. The man now is the eldest princess’s younger brother, and he is definitely not someone that ordinary women like them can reach.
Moreover, these siblings are not related by blood. Who knows if that scheming bitch Yao Ye likes siblings the most. She will wait until this young man named Gu Feng grows up before taking him in!
Of course, these are just the little thoughts of the old ladies, and they dare not speak out casually.
Seeing that everyone around him had dispersed, Gu Fengchen slowly exhaled a breath. This way, he should be able to live in peace for a while.
According to Gu Fengchen's original idea, he could indeed have interactions with some fair, rich and beautiful women.
After all, if it really happens, saving a few decades of hard work would be an understatement. Be bold and you won't have to struggle at all.
But this world is very dangerous. If you have a weak stomach, you will eat soft food. If you don't have a strong body, you will die from eating.
But judging from the few words just now and the description of Yao Ye in the original novel of the previous life, this princess has no bad intentions and is a very upright person.
In fact, there was another reason why Gu Fengchen did not agree to the other party, which was that he still needed to establish some relationship with Xiao Yixiang.
Gu Fengchen sighed and said, "I'm afraid that if I leave, Xiao Yixian will be kidnapped."
He was not worried about Gu Xun'er, after all, Ling Ying was guarding her, but what about Xiao Yan?
This guy loves poaching people the most.
He also didn't know when Xiao Yan would come to Qingshan Town. He and Xiao Yixian had only known each other for a few days. After spending more time together, Xiao Yixian would naturally not be affected by anyone.
"Speaking of which, I still have to find time to go to the Xiao family to see Gu Xun'er."
Gu Fengchen thought about it and thought that although Ling Ying might notice that his strength was improving rapidly, there would be no problem as long as the other party didn't know the secret of the Taotie Seal.
Speaking of which, Gu Fengchen suddenly realized a problem.
It’s your own mentality.
In fact, he didn't intend to kill all the people from the Snake Nest Mercenary Group today.
However, when he sensed the malice, he couldn't help but feel a kind of anger burst out from his whole body, and he couldn't control the urge to kill.
In fact, Gu Fengchen had guessed that the Taotie Seal was not completely without side effects, and it might be subtly changing Gu Fengchen's character. Especially in the most recent use, he could feel the power of Taotie impacting his soul, the crazy and chaotic feeling, containing negative emotions such as killing, bloodthirstiness, and tyranny, destroying his consciousness and polluting his spirit.
If it cannot be purified in time, the side effects of this Taotie Seal will also be very terrible.
I have a bit of a headache.
Gu Fengchen scratched his head. If his strength was really at the crushing level, it would be fine. The Taotie Seal would definitely not be able to influence his spirit. But now, he could only survive steadily, which led to the disagreement.
So, he must find a way to solve it.
"Well, there are some elixirs for purifying the soul in the original book, but they are all of very high grade." Gu Fengchen thought of the elixirs in the Douqi Continent, and suddenly thought of another thing.
Although he now has the Seal of Taotie, many top-grade elixirs are still helpful in improving his strength.
For example, the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill can increase the strength of a Grand Fighting Master by one star, not to mention the Fighting Spirit Pill.
"Perhaps, I still have the talent to become an alchemist?"
Alchemist is definitely the most popular profession in the Douqi Continent today.
In the original book, she is a popular commodity that is fought over almost everywhere.
Especially for alchemists above the fifth or sixth rank, they will have terrifying summoning power wherever they go.
For example, Gu He, the King of Dan in the Jia Ma Empire, is only at the sixth rank now. When he was looking for the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, he was able to invite three Dou Huang powerhouses to accompany him.
Moreover, he was extremely valued by the Yunlan Sect and had an extraordinary status. The great elders Yun Leng and Yun Yun were both very polite to Gu He.
A more obvious example is naturally Xiao Yan.
If he had not taken Yao Chen as his master and had not received support from Yao Lao along the way, his growth would definitely not have been so fast.
Therefore, the alchemist, Gu Fengchen did not want to give up.
But the problem is that alchemists are so rare that, in addition to needing both fire and wood attribute fighting spirit, they also require a large amount of resources.
Gu Fengchen could shamelessly go to Yao Ye, but he didn't want to owe too many favors to others.
He decided to try on his own first to see if he could get started in the art of alchemy.
At this time, Gu Fengchen saw the Little Medical Fairy walking towards him. The other party stared at him, hesitated for a moment and asked: "Um, what did the princess say to you?"
The little medical fairy’s eyes are very charming, round and big, bright and lively, without any bloodshot or turbidity.
The ancients referred to these big, bright eyes as clear as autumn water.
Gu Fengchen smiled, rubbed Little Medical Fairy's head, and said, "I didn't say anything. I asked you to teach me how to identify medicinal herbs. I plan to become a pharmacist from today on."
"Boring. However, since it is Gu Feng's request, I should naturally satisfy it." The Little Medical Fairy rolled her eyes but did not pursue the matter further.
This is the character of Xiao Yixiang. Although she is very cold to outsiders, she always turns a blind eye to those close to her.
So the Little Medical Fairy described the medicinal properties of the herb, where it grew, and the reactions after taking it one by one.
Gu Fengchen listened patiently and time passed quickly.
After identifying the herbs, Gu Fengchen looked at Little Medical Fairy and said, "Absorb the magic core of the second-level beast spider."
