In a quiet little valley.
Chen Guan's closed eyes slowly opened, and satisfaction and expectation flashed through his deep pupils.
The gains of more than two months were all digested into his body, allowing him to improve his medicine refining skills quite a bit.
Looking up at the elusive Su Qian in front of him, Chen Guan stood up to say hello.
"Great Elder is here today. Count the days. Is Fire Energy Hunt over?"
"Hahaha, that's right, this year's Inner Academy freshmen have just been settled in. Didn't you see how exciting Fire Energy Hunt was this time? A group of little guys with high aspirations were all beaten up and howling, and they were acting arrogantly. This is how it should be."
Su Qian was talking happily.
It has been more than ten days since he last came here.
During this period, Inner Academy Selection Tournament came to an end, and rewards were given to the top five, followed by Fire Energy Hunt, which just ended.
Chen Guan looked at Su Great Elder who was gloating over his misfortune, and finally understood, it turned out that Jia Nan Academy was the root cause of the old students bullying the freshmen.
Su Qian, the culprit! The upper beam is like this, can the lower beam not be crooked? Chen Guan shook his head and chuckled, "It's a pity that I didn't see such a scene."
Su Qian rolled his eyes back at him, as if to say, let you go if you don't want to go.
"I came here to tell you that Zhao Gang, who has some relationship with you, also entered Inner Academy. Since you and him are acquaintances, I arranged to move directly to your original small building."
Chen Guan nodded, not paying attention to this matter.
That small building was already deserted after Yuan Zhenshan, Nie Xian, and Jiang Shu moved out.
Now that Li Chang'an has dropped out of school, he also lives here, and the small building is almost completely vacant.
But no matter what, in the eyes of the Inner Academy's old students, that place is his territory. Zhao Gang lives there without having to worry about being bullied.
"I heard Old Man Hu mention it. That little guy has pretty good talent. He broke through to Dou Shi, defeated a Four-Star Dou Master, and finally came in at the 49th place. It wasn't all because of your reputation."
"This is better. By the way, there is something else I need to trouble Great Elder."
"Tell me and listen."
"I've been too busy lately, so I want to give a benefit to the elders of the Inner Academy. Anyone who needs to make elixirs can bring their own medicinal materials and come to me without any reward. However, I only refine fifth-grade high-level and Sixth-Grade Pill. There is a possibility of failure, so be mentally prepared before coming to me."
Su Qian was surprised and amazed.
He knew that the young man's alchemy refining level was already at level five, but he still found it surprising that he could confidently refine Sixth-Grade Pill so quickly.
"You want to use their medicinal materials to practice, right? This matter is quite simple. Don't worry, they all understand the rules of alchemists, and no one will blame you if you fail."
Chen Guan smiled and acquiesced.
He estimated that he should be able to achieve it by practicing Sixth-Grade Pill now.
However, Green Lotus Core Flame and Sea Heart Flame have just merged, and he still needs to slowly adapt to all aspects of the new Heavenly Flames.
Helping these elders to make elixirs is a good choice. You can practice your skills. If you succeed in one try, the remaining medicinal materials will be in vain. You can also expand your network of contacts. It can be said that you can achieve multiple things with one stone.
As for asking Su Qian to help spread the word, it was because he rarely showed his holiness in the academy. It was quite unbelievable to suddenly stand up and say that he could practice Sixth-Grade Pill.
But through Su Qian's words, the credibility has gradually increased.
After chatting in the valley for a while, Chen Guan and Great Elder returned to the Inner Academy.
Although he wouldn't disturb Zi Yan's advancement here, he still didn't want too many people to know about it.
Just in time, I can also meet Gang Zi when I go back.
The afterglow of the setting sun is shining down, and the sky is filled with red clouds, but Inner Academy is a lively time.
Heavenly Flame Refining Pagoda closed the tower, and a large number of people just came out of it, returning like locusts passing through.
In the freshmen dormitory area, an annual program is being performed, and old students come to collect tribute fees.
Those who are wise can avoid the pain of flesh and blood, while those who are not wise will only end up losing their wives and losing their troops.
Many old students stood on the periphery and watched the excitement with calm faces. They were used to it. This was how they came here in the first place.
"Zhao Gang, you see, in the Inner Academy we don't have absolute strength or background, so we can only be bullied by these old students. What do you think, do you want to join us Wolf Fang?"
"Brother Guan said that if anyone dares to bully me for no reason, just give him his name."
"I know you have a good relationship with Chen Guan. He and I are also friends. We entered Inner Academy together last year, but he has never been seen. I haven't seen him a few times in a year. With Chen Guan's reputation makes most people afraid to touch you, but you have to know that some old students are not normal and act like idiots. What if they attack you, Chen Guan is not here, so joining a force is very safe."
"I'll think about it again."
In the crowd, an old student who looked like a monkey spirit put his arm around the shoulders of a new student and spoke eloquently.
His attitude is completely different from that of other freshmen, and he doesn't have the arrogance of ordinary old students at all.
Just when Lao Sheng was about to continue speaking, a voice sounded from behind.
"Nie Xian, Zhao Gang is so upright, doesn't it hurt your conscience to abduct him like this?"
The two of them turned around in surprise, and saw a handsome young man in green clothes standing behind them at some point.
"Brother Guan!"
"Chen Guan, you are actually at the Inner Academy."
Zhao Gang and Nie Xian opened their mouths in shock one after another, both looking very happy.
Seeing many old students next to him also looking over, Chen Guan nodded slightly.
"Let's go, let's go back first."
The two quickly followed and returned to the small building that the three of them were familiar with.
He didn't go up, so he sat on the ground in the courtyard.
Zhao Gang sat upright and shouted again, like a soldier waiting for review.
"Brother Guan."
"Very good, already Dou Shi."
"It all depends on the support of Brother Guan and First Princess. Otherwise, I would be like Dou Zhe at most."
After receiving the affirmation, Zhao Gang's face was filled with glory, he finally relaxed and said with an embarrassed smile.
"Resources are just support. If you don't work hard, we won't be able to help you."
After chatting with Zhao Gang for a few words, Chen Guan then looked at Nine-Star Da Dou Shi, who was already standing aside, and was about to break through Dou Ling's Nie Xian.
"You have made great progress. It seems that you are doing well in Wolf Fang."
"Hahaha, it's okay. With Heavenly Flame Refining Pagoda here, this little progress is nothing to worry about."
Nie Xian was modest, but his face was full of smiles. Obviously, he was very satisfied with his progress.
"Speaking of which, there were five of us back then. One year later, you must have made the most progress, although I can't see it now."
"Besides you, it's Jiang Shu. I saw her in the Moon Spirit team a few days ago. She is already Dou Ling. Yuan Zhenshan and I are both Nine-Star Da Dou Shi. As for Li Chang'an, I have no idea. I have never seen him."
Nie Xian was so sad and a little envious of Jiang Shu.
At the Library Pavilion, the one who gained the most was not him, nor Chen Guan, but Jiang Shu who got Earth Tier Cultivation Method.
Chen Guan echoed with a smile.
After chatting with him for a while, he ended the conversation and looked at Zhao Gang.
"What are your plans next?"
Although Chen Guan has some ideas, you still have to ask and respect the other party's wishes first.
Hearing this, Zhao Gang shook his head and nodded.
"I will listen to Brother Guan's arrangements."
Yes, that's easy.
Chen Guan smiled and said, "Okay, then you can join Wolf Fang. First, improve your strength and learn how to manage a force. After you are promoted to Da Dou Shi, you can create a force for fun. I will support you behind the scenes."
Dou Shi, Inner Academy is the real bottom layer.
Forging iron requires oneself to be strong and establish power. Even with his support, the real manager is still Zhao Gang. It is impossible for him to waste too much time on these chores.
Therefore, Zhao Gang also needs some strength support. It doesn't need to be high, but it must at least reach Da Dou Shi.
"Brother Guan, I will work hard and learn Wolf Fang's management model."
"Hey, hey, you two, have you forgotten that there is a person named Wolf Fang sitting here?"
Nie Xian rolled his eyes wildly and interrupted with a look of dissatisfaction.
Although rules and so on are not binding in front of strong people, at least don't say it in front of me, it doesn't treat me as a human being.
Chen Guan looked over, as if it depends on you whether you are loyal or not.
"Just tell Zhao Gang to Wolf Fang whether to accept it or not."
"Okay, don't look at me like that. Take it, definitely take it. Don't worry, leave him to me. I'll give you a brand new Zhao Gang next year."
After the serious talk, the three of them became more casual and chatted about interesting things.
But basically Chen Guan and Nie Xian talk, and Zhao Gang chats with them from time to time.
Until nightfall, a man in gray clothes with a cold air that should be kept away from strangers appeared in sight.
"Strong Ranking Twenty-one, Lin Yan!"
Seeing the young man walking this way, the smile on Nie Xian's face faded and he exhaled, feeling a little nervous.
Chen Guan showed a smile and came out after being called out for a long time. He finally came to the door.
"Don't worry, I asked him to come."
After hearing this, Nie Xian relaxed.
Immediately, knowing that the young man had something to do, he didn't stay any longer and stood up to leave.
Chen Guan threw two jade bottles to him. Nie Xian thought they were small gifts, but after checking them, he discovered that although the contents were not precious, they were not low in value.
One bottle contains Qi Recovery Pill, which restores Dou Qi, and the other bottle contains a third-grade Speed Spirit Wind Pill. Dou Ling can increase a lot of strength in a short time after taking it.
With his current strength, even One-star Dou Spirit would have a chance to win after taking it.
"What are you doing, bribing me? Let me tell you, now that I am a senior member of Wolf Fang, it is impossible for me to betray Lin Xiuyuan. Unless, for ten more coins, I can give it some thought."
"Are you thinking about shit? This is a reward of gold coins for you."
"What gold coin?"
"Here, this."
Chen Guan took out a gold coin, tossed it casually, and landed steadily in his hand, tail side up.
Nie Xian smiled silently, knowing that he was very strong and might have become a wealthy businessman long ago, so he did not refuse.
Received the elixir, passed by Lin Yan and left.
