Gu Yuan shook his head and directly rejected the Third Master's kindness, saying, "Third Master, thank you for your kindness, but forget about living here. After all, I don't have anything to do yet, and I like to be alone. It gives me more freedom this way."
The Third Master's eyes widened. "That's right. Living with me doesn't restrict your freedom. You can come to me whenever you're free and I'll give you some pointers on your cultivation. That's what's most important! You're my chosen disciple!"
Gu Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Third Master, I already have..."
"Okay, okay, I know you have a teacher. Don't talk to me about this anymore. I won't let you take me as your teacher. But like this, when you are free, you can come to me and I will give you some pointers. Isn't that okay?" The Third Master waved his hand and asked expectantly.
"Third Master, why are you so nice to me? I can never repay you for your kindness!" Gu Yuan said with a wry smile again.
"Hehe, I, an old man, have no children or descendants in my life, nor have I found any successors. But just before that time, after I saw you, I found that you were a good kid, so I had the idea of taking you in as my apprentice. It's a pity that you already have a teacher. I really don't know which old guy you got lucky with!" The Third Master said indignantly.
Gu Yuan smiled and scratched his head, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Third Master."
"Alright, don't be so polite. This is actually a kind of investment. After all, our Blood Chamber of Commerce is a large chamber of commerce. We have always valued talents. I originally wanted you to join our Blood Chamber of Commerce, but now it seems that you are not willing to do so. What a pity."
Gu Yuan did not say anything. What the Third Master said was indeed true. He was a person who loved freedom. It was so good to be free without being restricted by others. As for joining any force, Gu Yuan had no plans for the time being. However, he had no plans to distance himself from the Blood Chamber of Commerce. After all, he might be useful to him in the future.
"Ahem, Third Master, my teacher once told me that I am not allowed to join any faction. I am just following the teacher's orders!" Gu Yuan said sincerely.
"Hehe, what kind of weird guy is your master? He doesn't even allow you to join a faction. It would be great if you could join a faction. Our Blood Chamber of Commerce has so many resources. Is it possible that they are not as powerful as his? Although he is a sixth-grade alchemist, he doesn't have the ability to know everything, right? Don't you still have to rely on a big chamber of commerce like ours to make pills? Hey, your teacher is simply too rigid and not interesting at all." The Third Master said with a look of disdain.
Gu Yuan could only smile bitterly. Although the Third Master's cultivation was not very high, his vision was indeed very high. In his eyes, ordinary people had no status at all. Even the big figures from the three major sects were defeated in front of him.
"But kid, I have to remind you that you don't have to take me as your master, but if the second brother asks you to take him as your master, you are not allowed to accept the second brother's request!" The third master suddenly said.
"Ah? Second Master?"
Gu Yuan was stunned. Was he trying to trick his own second son?
"Hehe, well, you are unwilling to take me as your master. Although he is a Spirit King, he is actually not much stronger than me. Besides, you rejected my request. If you turn around and take the second brother as your master, wouldn't I lose face?" said the Third Master.
Gu Yuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Third Master. I have no plans to join any faction or become a disciple at the moment."
"Yeah! That's good. I don't want my second brother to suddenly come and show off to me one day."
Gu Yuan looked at the Third Master and suddenly had some ideas in his mind.
"Well, Third Master, I have something to ask you." Gu Yuan said.
"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me about it."
Gu Yuan looked at the Third Master and said directly, "Third Master, my master is a sixth-rank alchemist. I told you this before, right? Do you remember?"
"Of course I remember! He's a sixth-grade alchemist, a being of this level, how could I forget him?" said the Third Master.
"Well, it's like this. My teacher usually refines some small gadgets, such as fourth-grade and fifth-grade elixirs. So I want to ask if Third Master can help me find a channel to sell these things."
Gu Yuan scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Ahem, my teacher gave me a lot of those things before he left. There is no use for me to keep them, so I plan to exchange them for something useful."
The Third Master looked at Gu Yuan with a look of shock on his face.
"A gadget? A fourth-grade elixir, a fifth-grade elixir? Such a thing is also a gadget?" The Third Master said in some shock.
"Uh... cough cough, these things are nothing to the teacher. If not gadgets, what are they?" Gu Yuan said with a light cough.
The Third Master smacked his lips and sighed, "As expected of a sixth-grade alchemist! It's truly a blessing to have such a great figure as a sixth-grade alchemist as your teacher!"
"Hehe, I'm lucky too. The teacher fell in love with me at first sight." Gu Yuan scratched his head with a simple and honest look on his face.
The Third Master looked at Gu Yuan's honest appearance and was speechless.
He would never forget the scene of seeing Gu Yuan beating the boy from the Zhou family outside.
With the Zhou family kid's strength and defensive power, he was able to be beaten into that state. The fire on Gu Yuan's body played a big role.
"Boy, tell me, isn't my Blood Chamber of Commerce the best channel? If you have any good things, just give them to me directly. I will arrange them for you and I will definitely make you satisfied." The Third Master said with a smile.
Gu Yuan looked at the Third Master flattered, "Really? That's really great!"
"Tsk, stop pretending with me, kid. I see you've had this idea for a long time. Besides, I'm one of the presidents of the Blood Chamber of Commerce. You told me in front of me that I'd find a channel for you. Isn't it obvious?" The Third Master rolled his eyes at Gu Yuan and said with a forced smile.
"Ahem, ahem, Third Master, I really didn't mean that." Gu Yuan said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Forget it, never mind. Anyway, elixirs are the best-selling item in our Giant Stone City. Don't you see who comes in and out of Giant Stone City every day? Fights, brawls, bloodshed and casualties happen every day. If you really want elixirs, you can give them to me. I will arrange the fastest and best channel for you and guarantee that you will be satisfied!" The Third Master patted his chest and promised.
"In that case, I really have to thank Third Master. I really have no way to repay you!" Gu Yuan said sincerely.
"These are all minor matters, just a matter of a word from me. Don't worry, you won't be disappointed if you do business with us. But there is one thing: we won't reduce the commission we should take by even a penny. You have to remember this!"
After saying that, the Third Master burst into laughter.
