This Is Being Completely Honest?

Gu Fengchen looked at Frank and suddenly felt that he, too, needed to display some talent before him.

Because he wanted Frank to become his introductory teacher in Alchemy Technique.

Theoretically speaking, there was absolutely no problem with him becoming an alchemist.

He had Heavenly Flames and Wood Attribute Dou Qi. As for Soul Power, it more than met the requirements.

Alchemists were an exceedingly respected profession on the Dou Qi Continent. As long as one carried the title of alchemist, one would be respected wherever one went.

Yao Chen, Han Feng, Gu He—wherever they went, they were all highly sought-after figures.

Naturally, his personal charm would increase as well, which would also help him win the beauty's heart.

However, becoming an alchemist required a teacher.

Originally, Gu Fengchen had planned to seek out Gu He, but since Frank had practically delivered himself to his doorstep, he would gladly accept.

Although Frank was more than one level below Gu He and Yao Chen, he was still a Fourth Grade Alchemist. At the very least, Frank was more than qualified to guide him through the initial stages.

Moreover, being an alchemist required consuming vast amounts of resources. To put it bluntly, it burned money. With Frank as backing, he could rightfully use the Alchemist Guild's resources. Why not?

Most importantly, Frank had no significant background. Establishing a connection with him would not draw special attention from certain factions.

Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to let Frank see his talent and make him willing to accept him as a disciple.

At this moment, Gu Fengchen led Frank into his bedroom, where a black Wooden Tub stood.

Gu Fengchen filled the Wooden Tub with hot water. Beside it was a simple wooden table covered with all kinds of Medicinal Herbs, at least dozens of varieties.

Clearly, Frank was deeply grateful to Gu Fengchen for saving Xue Mei.

Soon, under Frank's preparations, the originally colorless and odorless hot water visibly transformed into a rich emerald green. A faint mist also gradually seeped from the surface.

A dense Medicinal Aroma filled the room.

At this moment, only Frank and Gu Fengchen remained in the room.

Frank smiled. "Take off your clothes and soak directly in it. Don't use Dou Qi to protect your body—absorb it directly. That way, you'll absorb the medicinal effects most effectively."

After saying that, Frank did not remain in the room. Instead, he left and quietly closed the door behind him.

Seeing Frank leave, Gu Fengchen did not stand on ceremony. He directly removed his clothes and jumped into the Wooden Tub.

The moment his body entered the water, Gu Fengchen shuddered violently.

He understood why Frank had emphasized not using Dou Qi to protect his body. The temperature was indeed rather low; an ordinary person might instinctively shield themselves with Dou Qi upon jumping in.

Gu Fengchen endured the chill in his body and sat cross-legged within the Wooden Tub. His hands formed a cultivation seal, his eyes gradually closed, and his breathing quietly became steady and long.

However, after Gu Fengchen began cultivating, the temperature of the medicinal liquid suddenly soared. It gave him the illusion that he was being roasted alive, and a dish name involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Boiled frog?

Very soon, dark green energy from the medicinal liquid began pouring into Gu Fengchen's body. Once he began cultivating, that energy seemed to be drawn by something, forcefully flooding into his body through the slightly opened pores across his entire body!

Gu Fengchen was greatly alarmed. The medicinal liquid should have taken an entire day to be fully consumed, yet now, the energy within it was uncontrollably pouring into his body.

"Roar!"

In the next instant, behind Gu Fengchen, Taotie's crimson beastly phantom suddenly appeared. It opened its bloody maw and directly swallowed the entire tub of medicinal liquid, its face filled with delight.

Five seconds later, every drop of medicinal liquid in the Wooden Tub had been drained. Taotie wore a satisfied expression, let out a contented burp, and slowly vanished.

In an instant, Gu Fengchen abruptly opened his eyes and discovered that the Dou Qi within his body had become far more abundant. Brilliant rays of light continuously surged from within his qi vortex, illuminating its interior as brightly as day.

The aura Gu Fengchen suddenly released directly shattered the Wooden Tub!

Feeling all the changes within his body, Gu Fengchen took a deep breath, his eyes filled with joy.

He had now broken through to become a Four Star Dou Shi. At this speed—one star a day—even Xiao Yan could only sigh in helpless envy.

But Gu Fengchen knew where the problem lay. Theoretically, normal medicinal liquid could not produce such an enormous increase. Therefore, this medicinal liquid was not meant for a Dou Shi, but for a Da Dou Shi-level cultivator.

Based on Gu Fengchen's Combat Power—him killing so many Tiger Hounds barehanded—Frank had subconsciously classified Gu Fengchen as a Da Dou Shi.

Thus, the concentration and energy saturation of this medicinal liquid had been prepared entirely for a Da Dou Shi-level expert possessing a Dou Crystal to absorb.

"Damn, if I didn't have the Taotie Seal, would this overwhelming energy have blown me apart?" Gu Fengchen complained.

But just as Gu Fengchen raised his gaze, he suddenly saw two figures force their way through the door.

The figure on the left possessed an outstanding bearing. She had a delicate face and slender elegant brows. Of course, the most eye-catching feature was the silver-robed woman's long silver hair, which cascaded down to her waist.

At that moment, however, her face was flushed crimson with embarrassment. Still, although she was blushing, her gaze showed no intention of looking away.

Frank beside her was equally shocked.

He roared inwardly, How is this possible? This medicinal liquid definitely can't be fully absorbed in less than a day and a night. What is this kid doing? Is he even human?

Isn't he afraid of bursting his own body apart by absorbing it like this?

This is simply a miracle!

Moreover, it was only when Gu Fengchen's energy had just overflowed that he realized the other party was not the Da Dou Shi he had assumed him to be, but a Dou Shi.

A Dou Shi had absorbed in seconds the amount of energy that a Da Dou Shi would need more than a day to absorb. Th-this, was he even human?

Frank was utterly dumbfounded, his mouth hanging open wide enough to fit a huge duck egg.

"Cough, um... could you give me some clothes first..." Gu Fengchen said awkwardly.

He had been so focused on examining the changes within his body that he had forgotten about the changes caused by breaking through to Four Star Dou Shi.

It seemed these two had been guarding the door all along. Pretty scheming.

And even more absurdly, Gu Fengchen was now standing naked before a woman, meeting her gaze, yet had forgotten that he had spare clothes in his Storage Ring.

No way, my first time being completely honest was actually with Xue Mei?!!?

Gu Fengchen had fantasized about it countless times before. Although his dream was Teacher Zeus, he was not that casual a person.

He had always considered who he should give his first time to. Gu Xun'er, Yun Yun, and Ya Fei had all been within his considerations, yet he had never imagined it would be Xue Mei.

Although it did not count as truly giving away his first time, as a virgin in both lives, being so completely honest with each other still made Gu Fengchen's lower abdomen grow slightly warm.
