In a large hall of the Alchemist Guild, Xiao Yan, Gu Li, and others stood prominently. As the champion of this Alchemist Grand Meeting and a hero of the Alchemist Guild, Xiao Yan was naturally placed on the head seat by Gu Li. The others present, as well as some elders of the guild, nodded with smiles. In their view, given Xiao Yan's current status and position in the Alchemist Guild, it was perfectly reasonable for him to sit there.
"Haha, not bad, kid Yan Xiao. You managed to refine Emperor Grade Complete Pill -Emperor Grade Pill on your first try! Haha, that old Mo Zhai probably hates you to the bone now! Hahahaha..."
After everyone took their seats, Zhou Tai burst into laughter, his words filled with disdain for Mo Zhai. His words drew laughter from the guild elders present, one of whom even stood up, clasped his hands in a fist Zhou Tai, and said with a magnanimous smile:
"Hehe, with the strength of you gentlemen, even if Mo Zhai had the greatest courage, he would absolutely not dare to cause any more trouble!"
Upon hearing this elder's words, the elders beside him immediately nodded and smiled. In their view, with the addition of powerful figures like Gu Li, Chi Lin, Xuan Elder Xuan, and Zhou Tai, the Alchemist Guild was now comparable to some second-rate forces. Even though Mo Zhai had Yan Bing and Old Monster Hu, they were only two Eight-Star Half-Emperor, while the Alchemist Eight-Star Half-Emperor had three. Moreover, with someone like Zhou Tai from the Alchemist Alliance in charge, how could Mo Zhai dare to act rashly!
However, upon hearing this, Zhou Tai and the others immediately adopted a serious expression. Looking at the elders' nonchalant demeanor, they snorted coldly and rebuked them:
"Hmph! Confidence is a good thing, but if everyone thought like you, wouldn't this continent have been in chaos long ago!"
Zhou Tai's angry rebuke immediately changed the expressions of the elders. They had thought Zhou Tai would praise them with a smile, but they never expected this outcome. They quickly lowered their heads and listened carefully to every word Zhou Tai said.
"I've already lingered in the Wilderness for two months longer than I can go, and that's my limit. I'll be leaving in a few days. Elder Xuan can't stay in my Alchemist Guild indefinitely either. So, if we both leave, who will take charge of this place?"
After another merciless rebuke, the elders' expressions immediately turned ugly. However, they had no reason to refute his words, nor did they have the courage. Everyone in the Ancient Wilderness City knew of Zhou Tai's domineering and ruthless nature. If he were really angry, he would not give face even to Gu Li, let alone them.
"Alright, you can all go out now!"
Zhou Tai curled his lip, too lazy to say anything more, and with a wave of his sleeve, dismissed the guild elders.
Upon hearing this, the elders, despite their generally high status within the Alchemist Guild and even deference shown to Gu Li, quickly rose and forced a smile at Zhou Tai's words. They dared not show the slightest displeasure and hastily withdrew from the hall, carefully closing the door behind them. Seeing this, Zhou Tai sneered and turned back.
Gu Li and Chi Lin didn't say much about the departure of those elders. These elders were indeed somewhat arrogant on weekdays, but after all, they were the backbone of the Alchemist Guild. As the guild leader, Gu Li couldn't say much. Now that Zhou Tai had disciplined them, it suited his wishes quite well.
Elder Xuan smiled faintly at this, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, but his gaze never left Xiao Yan.
As for Elder Xuan, the reason he was sitting here was only because of Xiao Yan. Although Zhou Tai was now a member of the Alchemist Alliance, in Elder Xuan's eyes, he was nothing special.
As for management, this was still something Xiao Yan wasn't good at. After seeing those people leave, Xiao Yan turned his gaze directly to Zhou Tai and said with a smile.
"Hehe, I didn't expect Senior Zhou to still be in the Ancient Wilderness City. I thought you had already left long ago."
At this point, Gu Li also turned his gaze with a puzzled expression. He was equally puzzled. He had personally witnessed Zhou Tai leave the Ancient Wilderness City, and he never expected that he would still be in the city today, especially at such a crucial moment.
"Haha, kid, you're right. Logically speaking, I had some things to attend to and should have left long ago. However, I heard about Elder Luo standing up for you, which piqued my curiosity, so I decided to come back. I just didn't tell you, hahaha. But it seems that it was really a good thing I didn't tell you, otherwise, hey, that old bastard Mo Zhai might really have dared to run wild in the Ancient Wilderness City!"
Upon hearing Zhou Tai's words, the three of them immediately understood. However, when Gu Li looked at Zhou Tai, there was a hint of frustration in her eyes, and her gaze would occasionally drift to the metallic badge in Zhou Tai's hand, which was the identity badge issued to Zhou Tai by the Alchemist Alliance.
The latter also noticed this, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and then he casually smiled and tossed the badge to Gu Li.
Catching the flying badge with one hand, Gu Li looked up at Zhou Tai with a frustrated expression, gave a wry smile, and said:
"I didn't expect you'd already been invited to the Alchemist Alliance!"
Zhou Tai smiled upon hearing this, lowered his eyelids slightly, and nodded. He knew in his heart that joining the Alchemist Alliance was exactly what Gu Li had been looking forward to for most of her life.
It's a pity that his alchemy skills have stalled at the Second-Tier Alchemist for many years, unable to make any progress...
The minimum requirement to join the Alchemist Alliance is to be Fourth-Tier Alchemist. If Gu Li cannot reach the fourth level in alchemy in this lifetime, he will never be able to join the Alchemist Alliance.
As for Zhou Tai's invitation, it wasn't because Zhou Tai intended to apply to join the Alchemist Alliance, but because his Yao Tian was so terrifying that the Alchemist Alliance took the initiative to extend an olive branch to him.
Seeing this scene, and having heard about the " Alchemist Alliance " several times, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel curious. He frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then looked at Xiao Yan Zhou Tai, asking in a curious tone:
"Senior Zhou, is the Alchemist Alliance you just mentioned another force composed of alchemists?"
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, everyone present, including Elder Xuan, changed their expressions slightly, their faces showing indescribable surprise. They looked at Xiao Yan as if he were an alien.
Gu Li and Chi Lin Lin's lips twitched violently. They had heard Xiao Yan say that he had just left the mountain gate and was not familiar with everything outside. But what they did not expect was that he knew nothing about the Alchemist Alliance and even tried to guess what kind of force it was.
Elder Xuan frowned deeply at that moment. He couldn't believe that Xiao Yan didn't know what kind of force the Alchemist Alliance was. But if that was the case, then what about the Dou Technique that Xiao Yan possessed, which were only found in the Central Region?
