"Look, as long as you let me be your little burden, I can teach you how to practice every day. When I have nothing to do, I can take you to see some pretty girls and have some drinks. How about that?"
The Third Master looked at Gu Yuan expectantly.
Gu Yuan's mouth twitched. What the hell was going on? Why did this old guy suddenly become so unruly?
"Old man, what the hell are you talking about? Look, is that human language? Can you please stop wasting other people's money?" Erye said speechlessly, stroking his forehead.
"Why am I not talking human language? Cultivation is so tiring. This is called combining work and rest. What do you know? Can his alchemist master guide him in cultivation every day? No, but I can! Can his master take him to see girls and drink some wine when he is free? Definitely not, but I can! I can do it all!" said the Third Master proudly.
This time, even Gu Yuan couldn't help but touch his forehead. You can't judge a person by his appearance, this old guy is really unreliable.
"Hmph, what do you think? Have you considered it? If you accept me as your junior master, I can teach you spiritual skills and guide you in your training. But you should still follow your master's words. You can listen to mine or not, just use it as a reference. What do you say?"
In order to accept Gu Yuan as his disciple, the Third Master risked his life and even created the title of "little master".
"Senior, why me? I don't seem to be qualified?" Gu Yuan asked with a wry smile.
Hearing that Gu Yuan didn't refuse immediately, the Third Master said immediately, "It's very simple. Although we just met, I noticed you yesterday at the city gate. I think you're right up my alley, and that's why I met you today. If I hadn't seen you fight today, I might not have considered taking you in as my disciple. But after watching you fight, I found that you're really outstanding. You even have demonic fire!"
At the end of the speech, the Third Master couldn't help smacking his lips, his face full of envy.
Gu Yuan's heart skipped a beat; he had completely forgotten about this.
"What? What did you say, old man? Demonic fire? Gu Yuan actually has demonic fire?"
The Second Master looked at Gu Yuan in shock, as if he wanted to see through him.
"Hey, old man, you don't know this, right?"
The Third Master smiled triumphantly, he was finally going to win back a game.
"Tell me what happened?" asked the second master with interest.
"This kid actually used demonic fire when fighting against an opponent today. Don't you think it's shocking?" said the Third Master.
Gu Yuan began to feel nervous after hearing the repeated mention of the demonic fire.
If he were to be targeted by something of this level, with his strength, he would not be able to escape!
However, despite what he said, Gu Yuan still secretly exchanged for a Baili Dunkong Talisman and held it in his hand. Although Gu Yuan knew that he would definitely not have time to use it if they really wanted to take action, Gu Yuan still did not want to give up this opportunity.
Besides, there is the system's confinement function. Although it is not known how long it can be used against a Spirit King powerhouse, and it is not known whether it can be used against two people at once, this is at least an opportunity for Gu Yuan.
Fortunately, the Second Master and the Third Master didn't seem to show any unusual behavior, which made Gu Yuan breathe a sigh of relief.
"Oh shit! Demonic fire! That's demonic fire, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" asked the Second Master.
"Let Gu Yuan tell you whether I lied to you or not!" said the Third Master.
Turning the topic back to himself, Gu Yuan was helpless and said, "The flame in my hand is indeed the demon fire."
Gu Yuan opened his palm, and a wisp of blood-red flame slowly rose from his palm.
"This demonic fire was extracted from the body of a level five demonic beast after my master asked five powerful Spirit Kings to surround and kill it."
Gu Yuan deliberately mentioned his master to give them a warning and tell them not to take advantage of him.
The Second and Third Masters were shocked and spoke in a choking voice, "Five... five powerful Spirit Kings? Isn't that too powerful?"
Gu Yuan kept observing the expressions of the two, trying to see something from them.
Fortunately, these two people didn't seem to want to attack him, so Gu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the demon fire was too rare, and it was not uncommon to be targeted by others.
The Second Master suddenly stretched out his hand and released a stream of spiritual energy to seal the door. Gu Yuan's heart couldn't help but tighten.
"Don't be nervous, we mean no harm."
As if sensing Gu Yuan's nervousness, the Second Master said solemnly, "Gu Yuan, the demonic fire is so rare that everyone covets it. To be honest, even I covet it! But I wouldn't do anything shameless like that, don't worry!"
After a pause, the Second Master continued, "From now on, never use your flames in front of others. It may be attractive to ordinary people, but it is a huge attraction to alchemists! There is no alchemist who doesn't desire good flames. Although I haven't seen your demonic fire, I think it's not bad! So, even if you want to use it in the future, try not to be seen by others to avoid causing trouble."
After hearing the Second Master remind him like this, Gu Yuan's heart was finally at ease. It seemed that they really had no intention of taking action against him. Well, if they really did, they wouldn't have to wait until now.
Shaking his head and laughing, Gu Yuan thought to himself that he was overthinking it.
"Yes, kid Gu Yuan, I forgot to remind you about this today. Although the demon fire is a rare treasure, it is definitely not common. It has a fatal attraction to alchemists. Although your master is a fifth-rank alchemist, he can't protect you all the time. There are far more people who dare to take risks than you think." The Third Master also reminded.
"Yes, don't worry, seniors. Gu Yuan will keep it in mind." Gu Yuan nodded.
The Third Master stared at Gu Yuan and said sternly, "It's not enough to just keep it in your heart. You have to know where you are now. Stone City, the City of Darkness! You have to know that the desperadoes here make up almost one-fifth of the population! You cast the demon fire in public before. I just hope that few discerning people noticed it. Otherwise, I think in a few days, there will be a list of people who want your head on the black market."
Gu Yuan frowned. "Black market? An underground trading place? Is it so rampant and terrifying?"
"Well, the black market is an underground trading place. It's a mixed bag, even more chaotic than the surface of Boulder City. Of course, that's exactly how it is. There's always good stuff here, but the prices are much higher."
Gu Yuan's eyes lit up. This black market seemed interesting!
"Where is the black market? How can I get there?" Gu Yuan asked.
"Do you want to go?" asked the Third Master, frowning.
"Hehe, this black market is quite interesting, so I want to take a look, and also want to confirm whether there is really any news that someone wants to buy my head." Gu Yuan said with a smile.
The Third Master smiled complacently, snorted, and said, "Humph, it's very simple, just let me be your little master, and I will take you there!"
