At the same time, the disciples were also extremely shocked. Their eyes widened, and their faces were full of disbelief. My God, Chief Gu is really too surprising. He casually took out Primordial Divine Pills, and he even took out three kinds of Primordial Divine Pills in a row. It is simply too shocking and also too enviable.
"I have a request, and I wonder if Chief Gu can grant it?" The alchemist said with his hands clasped in a fist and palm salute, his tone very sincere.
"How can I agree if you don't tell me? Tell me, what is it?" Gu Changqing asked casually with a faint smile.
"I wonder if Chief Gu would be willing to be my master? I want to learn your alchemy skills. Your pills are so powerful and miraculous that I am ashamed of myself," the white-haired alchemist said sincerely.
"I'm afraid I cannot grant your wish in this matter," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile, directly refusing the offer.
"Why?" the alchemist asked, puzzled.
"It's not that I'm unwilling to take you in, but I know absolutely nothing about alchemy, so how can I teach you?" Gu Changqing said with a slight smile, quite calmly.
"Then what about your pills..." the alchemist asked, looking completely bewildered.
“I obtained those pills by chance, they were not made by me. Besides, I never said I could make pills. How could you think I could make pills?” Gu Changqing said, somewhat speechless.
"Yes, I was so confused. I was so focused on refining the peerless elixir you have that I subconsciously assumed you also knew how to refine pills. How rude of me!" The alchemist slapped his forehead and said with sudden realization.
This is truly a case of grasping at straws in desperation!
"I'm really sorry to have kept so many of you waiting for me to watch me refine pills. It's time for me to go," the alchemist said awkwardly.
He thought he could show off his abilities today, but he miscalculated. It's true that man proposes, God disposes. At the same time, he also realized that there are always people more capable than you.
“Since you’ve come to my Qingyun Sect, why are you in such a hurry to leave? We’ve all watched the alchemy for so long. Even if you haven’t made any contributions, you’ve still put in a lot of effort. The disciples of Qingyun Sect all highly recognize your strength. If you don’t give the disciples a gift, wouldn’t that be unreasonable?” Gu Changqing said first.
The sect has finally gained a high-level alchemist, so we can't just let him leave so easily. We have to get something out of him.
"Alright, since Chief Gu has spoken, it would seem petty of me not to send some. What kind of pills do you want?" the alchemist said nonchalantly.
As a renowned alchemist, he may not be able to say much else, but he has a vast quantity of pills. Although it cannot compare to Chief Gu's, it far surpasses Chief Gu's in terms of quantity. He has no doubt about this.
"Then how about five thousand doses of each of the types of pills you practiced on stage today?" Gu Changqing said with a faint smile, without any politeness.
"What?" the alchemist exclaimed in surprise.
This guy has the nerve to ask for it. Does he think making pills is so easy?
"What, are you going to go back on your promise in front of all the disciples of my Qingyun Sect?" Gu Changqing sneered and said in a deep voice.
"No, no, I'm just a little surprised, I don't mean to back out," the alchemist said, sounding slightly embarrassed.
He was filled with regret. He wished he hadn't agreed so readily. Now he felt bad about not giving it to them, but giving it to them was also painful. He was truly caught in a dilemma, unable to back down.
Then, he gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and with a wave of his hand, three gourd-sized medicine bottles appeared in his hand.
"This medicine bottle doesn't look very big. Are there enough pills inside?" Gu Changqing asked with a faint smile.
"Chief Gu, you misunderstand. My medicine bottle may look small, but it can be enlarged. There are exactly five thousand pills inside," the alchemist quickly explained in a serious tone.
"Alright, since you put it that way, then I, Gu, will believe you."
On the surface, that's what Gu Changqing said, but secretly he was still uneasy. With a thought, he sensed the matter and indeed there were five thousand.
"Then I, Gu, will convey these thanks to you on behalf of the disciples of our Qingyun Sect," Gu Changqing said with a slight smile, speaking politely.
"No need to thank me. I'm happy to give my pills to those in need." The alchemist said this very nicely, but that wasn't really what he thought.
"To express my gratitude for your generous gift of the pill, I, Gu Changqing, have decided to treat you to a lavish meal," Gu Changqing said with a slight smile, speaking politely.
"Thank you for your kindness, Chief Gu, but I suddenly remembered that I have some matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you any longer," the alchemist said.
He dared not linger here any longer, fearing that if he stayed any longer, all the pills on his body would be stolen. He should have checked the almanac before leaving today.
"How could I possibly accept this? You must stay at our sect for a few more days," Elder Liu said hastily.
"No need to be so polite. Come again next time if you have the chance. I'll take my leave now," the white-haired alchemist immediately declined.
"In that case, we won't force you to stay." Gu Changqing readily agreed and did not try to persuade him to stay.
As soon as Gu Changqing finished speaking, the alchemist disappeared with lightning speed.
"Look how quickly this alchemist disappeared, hahaha," Elder Liu said with a laugh.
"That's right, if he hadn't slipped away soon, I probably would have taken all the pills he had," Gu Changqing said with a smile.
"I'll distribute all the pills to my disciples, and I'll keep the rest for myself," Gu Changqing continued.
"Thank you, Chief Gu! Chief Gu is awesome..." Upon hearing this, the disciples immediately beamed with joy and expressed their gratitude to Gu Changqing.
Otherwise, with Chief Gu around, they wouldn't have gotten this advantage.
The Qingyun Sect was bustling with excitement, and everyone was immersed in joy.

Meanwhile, the alchemist was already riding at full speed to his residence.
"Master, why are you back so early? Didn't you say you were going to travel the world and wouldn't be back for a while? How come you're back in less than a day?" a young boy with a childish face asked in a childish voice.
"Don't even mention it. I met a master today. He casually pulled out a pill and it instantly defeated me. He was incredibly powerful. I used to think I was amazing, that the pills I refined were worth a fortune. But today I realized I was just a self-important clown. I've decided to study alchemy diligently, hoping that one day I can also refine those peerless pills," the alchemist said confidently.
"Master, I believe you will succeed." The little boy said earnestly and confidently.
After the alchemist told the little boy about his travels, the news spread like wildfire and became known to everyone within a few days.
At the same time, people are very curious about Gu Changqing's identity and how he can possess so many miraculous medicines.
