Gu Yuan's face looked a little strange, and he said with a smile: "Senior, you are joking. How could I possibly get involved in a profession like alchemist?"
Although Gu Yuan always regarded himself as an alchemist in the past, he did not dare to make up his identity now. In front of the powerful Spirit King, any small mistake might be exposed.
"But little guy, your perception is really amazing, and your soul power has reached the advanced level of the virtual realm. It is really beyond my expectation. You have such attainments in soul power at this age. I'm afraid you must have had some adventures, right?" The second master said with a smile.
Gu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he chuckled dryly before immediately saying, "My master has some accomplishments in soul power, so naturally he has received some guidance over the years."
"Oh? You have a master? Could it be that your master is an alchemist?"
The soul is innate, and it is almost impossible to cultivate the soul unless you have some secret methods. However, this secret method is probably even rarer than the ninth-level spiritual skills. Even some major forces dare not say that they must possess this secret method.
"Senior is right, my master is indeed an alchemist." Gu Yuan nodded. Since he couldn't get himself the identity of an alchemist, he might as well follow his words and bring out his non-existent master.
After all, he was away from home, and he didn't know what the so-called Second Master's intentions were towards Gu Yuan, so it was better to be careful.
"Your master is actually an alchemist?" The Second Master suddenly became excited. "May I ask what rank of alchemist your master is?"
Seeing the Second Master's excitement, Gu Yuan felt a little strange, and then said, "My master's alchemy skills are average, he is only a fifth-grade alchemist."
"Fifth...Fifth-rank alchemist?"
The Second Master became even more excited and asked seriously, "Little brother, are you serious about this?"
"Uh... Senior, why would I lie to you? Although my master rarely appears in public, he is a genuine fifth-grade alchemist!"
Gu Yuan said this sincerely, and at the same time "inadvertently" revealed that his master was a hermit.
As expected, upon hearing what Gu Yuan said, the Second Master suppressed the idea of asking about Gu Yuan's master.
"By the way, I've been talking for so long but still don't know your name!" Erye said with a smile.
"Gu Yuan, the boy."
"Gu Yuan, what a nice name!"
"I don't know if the Second Master has anything else to say. If not, I'll take my leave first."
"Haha, great! You've done me a great favor by inviting you here today. I saw you were watching the game before. Here, this is my token. You can enjoy certain discounts when you spend money at the Blood Chamber of Commerce in the future."
The second master took out a blood-red token and handed it to Gu Yuan, saying with a smile.
Gu Yuan looked at the blood-red token with a look of panic on his face. He said hurriedly, "Second Master, you are too polite! As the saying goes, no reward without merit. Gu Yuan feels unworthy of this. I hope Second Master will take it back."
Gu Yuan was speechless. This was the second-in-command of the Blood Merchants Guild. What on earth was he trying to do? He had asked me to come and ask a few questions, and then gave me this token. Was he trying to win me over because of his nonexistent master?
But Gu Yuan didn't want to owe him a favor for no reason.
"Hey, what's that? It's just a token. What's the big deal? Take it. You can come here more often when you have nothing to do in the future!"
The Second Master stuffed the token directly into Gu Yuan's hand with a smile on his face, ignoring the embarrassment on Gu Yuan's face.
"this……"
Gu Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart. He had to accept it even if he didn't want it, otherwise he would be slapping the other person in the face!
"Okay, then Gu Yuan will take it! Thank you, Second Master!" said Gu Yuan.
"It's just a small matter!" The second master waved his hand and said indifferently.
"The boy will take his leave first!"
"Second Master, why do you treat him like this?"
Ming Ge on the side felt a little jealous. He had worked for the Chamber of Commerce for so many years and had never seen the Second Master give him a Blood Merchant Token. He didn't expect that today he would give it directly to a boy he met for the first time.
The smile on Erye's face gradually disappeared. He glanced at Mingge and said, "What? Are you confused?"
"That's right!" Ming Ge did not deny it.
"This kid is a little bit unusual."
The Second Master's expression was somewhat serious, and he continued, "I accidentally discovered this boy before, and his soul power was beyond my expectations, so I invited him here. As expected, this boy's soul realm is actually already at the advanced level of the Void Realm!"
"Advanced Void Realm? That doesn't seem that high, right?" Ming Ge said.
"It's not that high. But you forgot to consider his strength and age!"
Ming Ge was stunned and said, "He doesn't look that big, but it seems that he is really not simple."
"Of course it's not easy. What do you think a normal person's reaction would be when he sees me? Look at him? So calm, so normal, without any sense of pressure at all. Can you do that at your age?" Erye said again.
Ming Ge said: "I...seem not able to."
"That's right. And didn't you hear what he just said? He has a master who is a fifth-grade alchemist. That's why I gave him the Blood Merchant Token."
"But if what you said before is a fact right in front of me, I can still believe it. But you have never seen this so-called master, so can you believe it just based on his empty words?" Ming Ge retorted.
Erye smiled, "Actually, you're right, I'm really not sure.
But look at him, at such a young age his soul power has already reached the advanced level of the Void Realm. There is no help or guidance from an expert. Do you think he can do it alone?
So I'm actually gambling, betting that he really has a master behind him. This master may not really be a fifth-grade alchemist, but he probably won't be much worse than a fifth-grade alchemist."
"What a great idea, Second Master! And we won't lose anything this way, right?" Ming Ge's eyes gradually lit up, and he couldn't help but be shocked by Second Master's shrewdness.
The Second Master smiled and said, "That's right, it's just a Blood Merchant Token. Do you think it's worth using this Blood Merchant Token to exchange for the goodwill of a potentially powerful person?"
"It's worth it! It's really worth it! I would do the same if I were in your place!" Ming Ge nodded and said.
"The most important thing is, even if he doesn't have a master, what does it matter? Just based on his level of soul power, I feel that this kid will at least achieve a lot in the future. I'm showing him goodwill now, so how can he not be friends with us in the future?"
"Second Master is really a shrewd man! Mingge admires him!" Mingge said flatteringly.
"Hahaha!"
The Second Master laughed triumphantly, then said, "Well, actually, I'm just investing! Let's not talk about that for now. How's your injury? Are you okay?"
Ming Ge said, "It's okay, I have a thick skin. That Dong Shudu is really strong. I almost couldn't beat him!"
"Well, I watched Dongshu grow up in the Spirit Trial Field. He is indeed very powerful. However, if someone cannot be used by us, we naturally cannot keep him!"
