Hearing this,

Ning Luo frowned slightly.

He had read the original novel. He remembered that Xiao Yan had lived two lives, and Yao Lao had praised his Soul Perception as exceptionally strong.

Why was it extremely weak when it came to him?

It seemed Little Second was deliberately making things difficult for him.

But why was he making things difficult for him? When Ning Luo looked up, he saw Gu He's gaze fixed on Yun Yun, filled with smugness and lechery.

He instantly understood everything.

It seemed Gu He was a dirty old man coveting his Master! No, his Master was the Goddess the system had assigned to him.

How could he let this old bastard have her?

At that moment, Gu He looked at Yun Yun and smiled. "Ning Luo's Soul Perception is originally insufficient. However, for Sect Leader Yun's sake, I can teach him a little. As for whether he can become an Alchemist, that will depend on his own fortune."

Gu He smiled at Yun Yun.

That way, Yun Yun would have to come and ask him.

Then she would owe him a favor.

And he could grant Yun Yun another favor in return.

Everything would be under his control.

When Yun Yun heard Gu He say this,

she immediately said, "Please, Elder Gu, teach Ning Luo. If Elder Gu can help Ning Luo become an Alchemist, I am willing to agree to one reasonable request from Elder Gu."

Without the slightest hesitation,

Yun Yun said it directly.

In her view, even if she had to owe Gu He a favor,

she still had to let Ning Luo become an Alchemist.

Because she knew deep down that even a Dou Emperor expert like herself needed the pills made by Alchemists.

So if Ning Luo could become an Alchemist, what was wrong with owing Gu He a favor? Hearing this,

Ning Luo looked at Yun Yun in surprise.

He had not expected his Master to ask Gu He so quickly. It showed just how good Yun Yun was to him.

His Master had actually begged Gu He for his sake.

Seeing Yun Yun begin to ask him, Gu He's lips slowly curled upward.

His plan had succeeded.

"Since Sect Leader Yun has said so, I shall reluctantly allow Ning Luo to study the Alchemy Art under me. However, whether he can become an Alchemist will depend entirely on himself," Gu He said, shaking his head.

"Then I must trouble Elder Gu!" Yun Yun was just about to cup her hands in salute.

"Wait!"

At that moment, Ning Luo's voice suddenly rang out.

As soon as he said this,

Gu He and Yun Yun both looked toward Ning Luo.

Ning Luo remained utterly calm as he walked to the center of the hall and came before his Master, Yun Yun.

"Xiao Luo." Yun Yun looked at Ning Luo, unsure what he intended to do.

Ning Luo looked at Yun Yun and said, "Master, let's go back. This old bastard means no good. I know my own aptitude. This old bastard isn't qualified to teach me!"

As soon as he said this,

both Yun Yun and Gu He were utterly shocked.

After hearing those words, Gu He's face turned livid.

He flew into a rage and glared at Ning Luo. "Brat, who are you calling an old bastard?"

Ning Luo turned back and looked at Gu He indifferently. "Don't you have any self-awareness?"

"You!"

Gu He was instantly enraged.

"Xiao Luo, don't be rude," Yun Yun quickly said at that moment.

Ning Luo looked at his Master and spoke seriously. "Master, trust me. I know my own aptitude, and I know my own strength. I can become an Alchemist on my own. I don't need anyone to teach me!"

Seeing the determination in Ning Luo's eyes, Yun Yun nodded.

Compared with an outsider, she naturally trusted her own disciple more.

Gu He was furious. He looked at Ning Luo and sneered. "Hmph, brat, you're truly arrogant. You think you can become an Alchemist without anyone teaching you? Do you think Alchemists are cheap goods sold on the street, something you can pick up whenever you want?"

Ning Luo turned back to Gu He. "Alchemists are indeed not cheap street goods. But I clearly possess powerful Fire Attribute and Wood Attribute, and I know that my Soul Perception has long been more than sufficient for becoming an Alchemist.

Do you really think I know nothing and understand nothing? I know you secretly love my Master, so you want to sell her a favor. Then, once I become an Alchemist, the favor my Master owes you will become even greater. As for teaching me, I'm afraid you wouldn't sincerely teach me at all!"

"Y-you, what nonsense are you talking about?" Gu He's secret thoughts had been exposed, and his face immediately flushed bright red.

Anger surged from the top of his head.

"Did I hit the mark, and now you're lashing out from embarrassment?" Ning Luo asked coldly.

"You!" Gu He was instantly furious.

He was both ashamed and enraged. Ning Luo had laid bare his secret thoughts, leaving him incomparably humiliated and furious. At that moment, he wanted to tear this brat into ten thousand pieces.

Sitting in his chair, he calmed himself down.

Then he looked at Ning Luo with icy eyes. "Ning Luo, you say you can become an Alchemist yourself. Do you think one can master alchemy without a teacher so easily? Do you understand medicinal principles? Can you distinguish the herbs used in alchemy?

Can you properly control your flames? You want to become an Alchemist without a teacher? I think you're simply daydreaming!"

After calming down, he realized Ning Luo was merely a young brat. If he got angry, he would be falling for Ning Luo's scheme. He would personally reclaim his dignity.

At that moment, Ning Luo smiled. "Since Elder Gu says so, I suppose you must understand medicinal principles very well?"

"Brat, do you think I picked up the title of Pill King off the street?" Gu He sneered.

Without the slightest fear, Ning Luo looked at Gu He and asked, "Then may I ask Elder Gu He, how should the Tongtian Pill be refined?"

Ning Luo had signed in for the Complete Guide to Pill Manuals.

This Complete Guide to Pill Manuals recorded every pill in the entire Dou Qi Continent.

The Tongtian Pill was a Ninth-Grade Pill recorded in the manual. Ning Luo did not believe Gu He could refine it!
