Zhong Ling did not answer Gu Xuan's question. She tapped her fingers lightly on the counter and thought for a while before asking:
"Zhong Ling, who is Gu Yan to you?"
Gu Xuan was stunned when he heard this and frowned slightly.
Gu Yan?
This name is well known within Dan Pavilion, but not many people know it outside.
That was his younger brother, who was sent to the Eastern Region to serve as an elder. He had not seen him for decades.
How could this person in front of him know his brother?
"Do you know my younger brother?" Gu Xuan was a little confused.
Zhong Ling didn't say anything else, but took out a palm-sized token that was completely red-gold. Zhong Ling turned the token over and saw the word "Yan".
"This was given to me by your brother Gu Yan."
The Red Gold Guest Order!
Gu Xuan picked up the token and looked at it carefully. It belonged to his brother.
Among the crowd of onlookers, there were also monks who knew what was going on:
"Oh my god! That... that's the Red Gold Guest Token of the Dan Pavilion!"
"Am I reading this correctly? It's said that the entire Dan Pavilion can only issue a few guest certificates of this rank. Every holder is the most distinguished guest of the Dan Pavilion!"
"I heard that only the Pavilion Master and a few Grandmaster-level elders are qualified to grant this award, and that the recipient must have made significant contributions to the Pavilion, or have reached a certain level of attainment in alchemy. This..."
They finally understood where the confidence of this "Alchemy Immortal" came from. He was a top boss certified by the Alchemy Pavilion!
Gu Xuan suppressed his surprise. Of course he recognized this token. It was his younger brother Gu Yan's exclusive guest token.
He knew that his younger brother was arrogant and straightforward, and the fact that he was willing to give up the token showed that the alchemy skills of the man before him were so impressive that even his brother was impressed!
"It turns out to be Master Zhong. I'm sorry for being disrespectful!" Gu Xuan bowed to Zhong Ling, his tone sincere, without any arrogance.
"My younger brother, Gu Yan, is the elder sent by Dan Pavilion to the Eastern Region. I never thought he would become acquainted with the Master."
Zhong Ling didn't care about Gu Xuan's change of attitude. She took the token back and said "hmm" lightly as a response.
Gu Xuan's eyes flashed, and he bowed again and said, "Master Zhong, to be honest, Gu Xuan came here today, not only to meet you, but also to ask you something."
Zhong Ling looked up at him and motioned for him to continue.
"The Canglan Realm Alchemy Exchange Conference, held every ten years, will be held on the second day of next month at the Medicine Valley, headquarters of the Dan Pavilion.
At that time, alchemists from the entire Canglan Realm will gather together to exchange their alchemy experiences, showcase their latest elixirs, and even have the opportunity to see some long-lost ancient elixir recipes and legendary treasures."
He paused, observing Zhong Ling's expression. Seeing that she seemed interested, he continued, "My younger brother Gu Yan will also be rushing back from the Eastern Region. On behalf of Dan Pavilion, I sincerely invite you to attend this event.
With your mastery of the Dao of Alchemy, you will surely shine at this exchange meeting, and we can also ask you for some advice."
Alchemy exchange meeting?
"Okay." Zhong Ling agreed.
Seeing her agree so readily, Gu Xuan was overjoyed: "Great! Then, Gu Xuan will come to greet you personally!"
"No need, just give me the address and time." Zhong Ling waved her hand and politely declined Gu Xuan's proposal.
"This..." Gu Xuan hesitated for a moment, but seeing Zhong Ling's firm attitude, he had no choice but to nod and agree, "Okay, this is the invitation to the exchange meeting. It has the detailed time and map."
He took out a specially made invitation and handed it to Zhong Ling.
Zhong Ling took the invitation, took a look at it and put it away. Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Gu Xuan said goodbye to Zhong Ling and left. He wanted to pass the news back to Dan Pavilion immediately.
Zhong Ling took the jade boxes from the three people and said to everyone, "The three people are full today, so we are closed."
After saying that, she drove the people away and closed the door.
…
Tianjian Gate, Wanren Peak.
Inside a stone hall, the Sword Master sat cross-legged on a cushion with his eyes closed. A ray of spiritual light flashed before him and turned into a jade slip.
He probed his spiritual sense into it, and found detailed information about Zhong Ling.
"The Red Gold Guest Official Order..." Sword Master's eyebrows twitched.
He sent people to investigate Zhong Ling, and the results shocked him.
From the Luoyun Sect in the Eastern Region, to the Tianshu City where he suppressed the thirteen combined elders of the Tianjian Sect alone, to the Tianyun Mountain where he killed Jian Chen's physical body with one finger, and then to the Divine Capital City.
A woman with unfathomable strength and such attainments in the Dao of Alchemy, who was she, and what exactly did she want to do?
Sword Master had lived for ten thousand years and thought he was used to all kinds of storms, but when faced with an existence like Zhong Ling, who was completely beyond common sense, he felt out of control for the first time.
He had a premonition that the world was going to change when he was in seclusion before. Now it seems that the source of this change may be this woman.
After a long time, Sword Master slowly opened his eyes.
"Prepare a small gift," he said.
Zhang Chengying, who was standing next to him, was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Ancestor, what are you doing..."
"I'll go meet her."
Rather than sitting here passively speculating, why not go and see it for yourself?
He wanted to see who this woman was.
…
The next day, Zhong Ling had already closed the shop, and a figure appeared quietly in the alchemy shop.
The man was wearing a green Taoist robe, with white hair and beard, and looked like an ordinary old man.
Zhong Ling was resting on a recliner. When she noticed someone coming, she didn't open her eyes but just said, "It's closed. Come back tomorrow."
When Jian Zun heard Zhong Ling's words, he looked at her with interest.
He could feel that his pressure on her was like a drop in the ocean, failing to stir up any ripples.
Sword Master smiled faintly: "I am not here to ask for elixirs, but I heard that an elixir master has emerged in the Divine Capital, so I came to pay a special visit."
Hearing this, Zhong Ling opened her eyes and raised her eyebrows: "Oh? The visit is over, then take care."
The smile on Jian Zun's face deepened. "My few useless juniors have offended many people in the Eastern Region. I apologize to you on their behalf."
Zhong Ling looked at him and suddenly smiled. "Apologize? No need. If you're not as skilled as them, your death would be in vain. However, they really can't take a beating, so it's a bit of a letdown."
“…”
The Sword Master's eyes twitched.
He said in a deep voice: "Daoyou is extremely powerful. I don't think you are from my Canglan Realm. I wonder what brings you here?"
This is the real purpose of his trip.
Zhong Ling replied, "I'm here to enjoy the scenery. Why don't you welcome outsiders in Canglan Realm?"
Sword Master did not believe this answer.
"Fellow Daoist, you're joking." Jian Zun was silent for a moment, took out a jade box from the storage ring and placed it on the counter.
"This is just a small gift, not a token of respect. Consider it an apology for the recklessness of my juniors. I hope you won't refuse it."
Zhong Ling glanced at the jade box, neither opening it nor refusing it.
Seeing this, Jian Zun knew that the purpose of his trip had been achieved and he would not be able to get anything out of it if he stayed any longer.
"In that case, I will not disturb your peace." He bowed again and disappeared from the shop.
Zhong Ling shook his head, feeling a little funny. He thought the matter was over. Wait, the surprise gift package has not been delivered to the door yet.
