"lucky?"
Yan Zhen stood up and turned around, his face expressionless.
Gu Yuan looked at Yan Zhen and began to feel defensive.
"You look no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, yet you possess demonic fire. Your strength has even been boosted by that strange elixir, allowing you to directly enter the spiritual master level. Are you telling me this is just luck?"
"Is this what Patriarch Yan Zhen asked me to come over to tell you?"
Although there was a huge gap in strength between him and Yan Zhen in front of him, Gu Yuan was not too afraid. After all, he still had a way to save his life, which was the system.
He still clearly remembered the confinement when he faced the mercenary Scar. The system's monthly confinement could have been used again, but the cooling time did not change after he broke through to the spiritual disciple level, but the confinement duration was shortened from four days to two days. This made Gu Yuan a little amused and helpless. The system really spared no effort to spur him on. As long as his strength improved, the confinement time would become shorter.
If you want to survive, you have to practice hard.
Fortunately, two days are enough to deal with Yan Zhen.
Yan Zhen looked at Gu Yuan with an indifferent expression, and naturally had no idea that many thoughts were still flashing through Gu Yuan's mind.
With a sigh, Yan Zhen unexpectedly smiled. "Young friend Gu Yuan is truly a rare talent. Even when facing someone much stronger than him, his expression remains unchanged. The young are truly formidable! The young are truly formidable!"
Gu Yuan was stunned, wondering why Yan Zhen's attitude had changed so suddenly. Could it be that he was impressed by his righteous spirit?
"Well, to be honest, my friend, I admit that when you defeated Yan Xing, I did have the idea of keeping you here permanently. After all, you were slapping my Yan family in the face."
Yan Zhen's words startled Gu Yuan, but the next sentence made him relax: "But when I saw you fighting with Yan Xin and the demonic fire revealed in you, I gave up this idea."
Frowning slightly, Gu Yuan asked, "Why?"
"Hahaha, demon fire, something that even this clan leader covets, I never thought you would actually possess it. Demon fire is the life-blood fire of demon beasts, and can only be bred by demon beasts of at least level five. Moreover, if you want to obtain even the lowest level demon fire, without the help of three Spirit Kings, I think it would be difficult to succeed. Tell me, do you think a mere Spirit Master like me would dare to go against the Spirit Kings? Even if I kill you in secret, I, the clan leader, would have to worry every day about being found and attacked. In this case, it would be better to do nothing."
Yan Zhen smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Gu Yuan was secretly happy. He didn't expect that the unexpectedly obtained red flame would cause such a big misunderstanding among Yan Zhen. However, he did not deny it. After all, it was a demonic fire that he had obtained at the risk of his life. It was a good thing to let others misunderstand that there was a strong man behind him. At least it saved a lot of trouble.
"What exactly did Patriarch Yan want to say by calling me here?"
"My friend, I've just said that I have no intention of becoming your enemy. I'm very sorry about what happened with the Four Veins, and I've already told the Great Elder that the Four Veins will be treated the same as the other Veins in the future."
"So they're afraid of the non-existent Spirit King behind me, and now I'm openly a member of the Four Veins..."
Gu Yuan nodded. Yan Zhen was quite free and easy. He directly stated that he was afraid of the powerful Spirit King. Compared with those hypocritical guys, Gu Yuan felt a lot better.
"Well, that's great. After all, our families are closely related, so it's best if we don't have any conflicts."
Now that he knew what Yan Zhen meant, Gu Yuan didn't mind helping the four veins where Yan Yue was. It wouldn't be difficult anyway.
"Chief Yan Zhen, I'm afraid you have something else to do?"
Pulling out a chair and sitting down leisurely, Gu Yuan looked at Yan Zhen and said.
As the head of the family, Yan Zhen was a little hesitant at this moment. He opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
Gu Yuan looked puzzled and asked again, "Patriarch Yan, do you have anything to ask?"
Yan Zhen nodded excitedly, rubbed his hands, and asked hesitantly, "I wonder what kind of elixir you use to increase your strength is? I'd like to buy some and study it."
"oh?"
Gu Yuan's eyes lit up slightly. This is the real purpose, right?
Yan Zhen laughed dryly and said, "It's like this. I know this kind of medicine is very precious, but you also know that in some unexpected situations, this kind of medicine is like a second life. I want to equip some for the children of my family."
"Just increasing our strength might not be enough to impress Patriarch Yan Zhen, right?"
Gu Yuan sneered and said.
Yan Zhen smiled awkwardly. He certainly wouldn't be tempted by pills that only increased his strength. What really tempted him was the feedback from his butler.
"That's what my friend said."
"Actually, I'm just speculating, I don't know if it's correct. The side effects of the short-term strength-boosting pills you're using should be extremely minimal or even non-existent, right?"
Yan Zhen looked at Gu Yuan with a fiery look in his eyes.
Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the butler had noticed his condition after taking the elixir and reported it to Yan Zhen.
Without any intention of hiding anything, Gu Yuan nodded naturally and said, "You are right. This pill does not have any side effects after the effect wears off."
"It's true! It's true!"
Yan Zhen, looking frantic, said hurriedly, "My friend, I have a request. Please tell me the name and source of this elixir, and I will buy it at a high price! I will also give you a generous gift as a token of my gratitude."
You know, the other big family in Black Rock City, the Mu family, is the mortal enemy of the Yan family!
Every year, many of the Yan family's disciples who went out for training would die in accidents, and it was easy to guess who did it. Because of this, although the younger generation of the Yan family seemed strong, they were actually lagging behind the Mu family.
