Xiao Yi Xian's Thoughts

"Sir... could you be an alchemist?"

Xiao Yi Xian's beautiful eyes flickered as she asked expectantly.

Gu He did not answer, merely smiling as he nodded.

He really was an alchemist!

Seeing Gu He nod in confirmation, delight appeared on Xiao Yi Xian's lovely face.

Her greatest wish was to become an alchemist.

Yet she had always lacked the opportunity to come into contact with one.

After all, in a tiny place like Qingshan Town, why would such esteemed alchemists ever come here?

Xiao Yi Xian's eyes brimmed with excitement. She wanted to step forward and ask him questions, but she feared being too abrupt.

Though she had never met a true alchemist, she had heard quite a few stories about them from other mercenaries.

After all, the bright smile on Gu He's face and his refined, handsome features truly made people want to draw close to him.

Someone like him should be different from other alchemists, right?

Upon hearing the exchange between Gu He and Xiao Yi Xian, the staff of Myriad Medicine Pavilion nearby also revealed shocked expressions.

This gentleman was actually an alchemist!

As they looked at the refined and easygoing Gu He, a trace of reverence unconsciously entered their eyes.

In their hearts, alchemists held an incomparably noble status.

Moreover, he could produce a Second-Grade Pill. That meant this gentleman was at least a Second-Grade Alchemist.

With that thought, everyone looked upon the refined Gu He as though he were a deity.

"Big Brother!"

"Big Brother!"

Just then, several mournful shouts came from outside
