But thinking about it, it makes sense. Anyone would want to recruit such a young Rank 8 alchemist.
Yan Gonglin continued, "In the Alchemist Guild, Miss Ruan's alchemy skills can be better utilized, and I will also train Miss Ruan as the successor of the Alchemist Guild."
The heir to the Alchemists' Guild?!
The branch presidents exchanged glances, and each saw a shock in the pupils of the other's eyes.
They knew the president valued this Miss Ruan, but they didn't expect him to value her this much.
They actually intend to groom her as the successor of the Alchemist Guild, making such a weighty promise.
It should be noted that the Alchemists' Guild is a top-tier power, and as its heir, the guild master intends to hand over the management of the Alchemists' Guild to her in the future.
With such tempting offers, no one would be willing to refuse.
"Thank you for your kind offer, President, but I have my own things to do and my heart is elsewhere. I have no intention of taking on such a heavy responsibility," Ruan Xiyan replied humbly and confidently.
He became an honorary elder of the Alchemist Guild because he liked the job because it was easy and he didn't have to worry about anything.
If she becomes the heir to the Alchemist Guild, she will be bound by many things, have to take many things into consideration, and will no longer be able to do what she wants as she pleases.
Moreover, she will not stay on the cultivation continent for long; she will go to the Nine Provinces Continent, where gods and demons reside, in the future.
As soon as Ruan Xiyan finished speaking, all the branch presidents were stunned.
Is this girl out of her mind?! Becoming the heir to the Alchemist Guild is an incredible stroke of luck for most people, yet she refused it.
Yan Gonglin had not expected Ruan Xiyan to refuse. He genuinely wanted to cultivate this junior. With her talent in alchemy, she could become the successor of the Alchemist Guild and lead it to prosperity in the future.
So the conditions he offered were already very sincere, but unexpectedly she still refused.
"Miss Ruan, do you know what you're refusing? It's the position of heir to the Alchemist Guild, second only to the leader, above all others." The branch leaders around her were all anxious for Ruan Xiyan.
Although it wasn't their business, they all wanted to agree on her behalf when they heard such tempting terms.
As the saying goes, the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuchs are.
“Young friend Ruan, such an opportunity only comes once, and once it’s gone, it’s gone,” Yan Changpu advised. “Why don’t you think about it again and see what could be more important than becoming the heir of the Alchemist Guild?”
"Young friend Ruan is so intelligent, he should know very well what it means to be the heir of the Alchemist Guild."
Ruan Xiyan nodded, "I understand. I have thought it through. I cannot accept the position of successor of the Alchemist Guild. I'm sorry to disappoint President Yan. Please find someone else."
Yan Gonglin sighed, "Miss Ruan has her own ideas, which is only natural. Since Miss Ruan has already made up her mind, I am not one to force her to do something against her will."
However, such a genius in alchemy is a rare find, perhaps only once in a hundred or even a thousand years, and he did not want to give up.
“I understand that Miss Ruan doesn’t want to worry about too many things. How about Miss Ruan become an honorary elder in our Alchemist Association?”
“In that case, it won’t prevent Miss Ruan from doing her own thing,” Yan Gonglin said, settling for second best.
Yan Changpu and the others stared at Yan Gonglin in surprise; it was the first time they had ever seen their president so good-tempered.
As a person in a superior position, the president naturally exudes authority and aura, and possesses the arrogance unique to a ninth-grade alchemist.
However, when facing this Miss Ruan today, he retreated again and again, showing great sincerity. It was truly unexpected that the president would go to such lengths to recruit Miss Ruan.
Ruan Xiyan hesitated and looked at Yan Changpu beside her, "But I am now an honorary elder of the Eastern District Alchemist Association."
“Then become a guest elder of the Alchemists Guild,” Yan Gonglin said. “It won’t conflict with your position as an honorary elder of the Eastern District Alchemists Branch.”
Now that things have come to this point, refusing would be ungrateful and would also offend Chairman Yan.
Ruan Xiyan nodded and replied, "I hope you will give me more guidance in the future, President."
Upon hearing this, Yan Gonglin immediately beamed with joy, "Good, good, good."
He was genuinely happy to have recruited such a talented young man for the Alchemist Association.
Yan Changpu, standing to the side, looked proud. He knew that Ruan Xiaoyou was loyal and righteous, and even after becoming a guest elder of the Alchemist Guild, he would still remember their Eastern District Alchemist Branch.
Seeing Yan Changpu's smug smile, he didn't say a word, but the smugness on his face was practically radiating to their heads.
The branch presidents of the other three regions clicked their tongues and rolled their eyes, not wanting to see Yan Changpu's smug, self-satisfied look anymore.
Yan Gonglin was overjoyed to have recruited Ruan Xiyan. "Let's go, it's my treat today. I'll treat everyone to a meal."
The branch presidents laughed and said, "We also benefited from Miss Ruan's influence."
"Yeah, yeah."
During dinner, Yan Gonglin took the opportunity to give Ruan Xiyan a detailed introduction to the branch presidents.
Perhaps it's because Ruan Xiyan has now become a guest elder of the Alchemist Guild, her status is different, and she is also an eighth-grade alchemist.
Her own alchemy skills are formidable. Although she is young and a junior, she is on par with the branch leaders.
Throughout the meal, the branch presidents treated Ruan Xiyan with great courtesy and hospitality.
After dinner, Ruan Xiyan returned to her residence to prepare for entering the Dan Realm the next day.
Inside the room.
Ruan Xiyan sat cross-legged on the bed, consolidating the strength she had just broken through during the day. Suddenly, she sensed the unusual activity in the Wind Spirit Space and flashed into it.
“Master,” Feng Ling called out.
Yao Yao flew happily to Ruan Xiyan's side, "Master."
Biqiong and Xuanguang also gathered around.
"You're all awake." A look of joy flashed in Ruan Xiyan's eyes.
Biqiong nodded, "Master's breakthrough has benefited us as well. My strength has now broken through to the third-tier sacred beast level, and I can better protect Master in the future."
"It's just a third-tier sacred beast. My strength has reached the seventh-tier sacred beast level," Chi Ying retorted.
Biqiong bared its teeth at it and unleashed a bloodline suppression attack.
Chi Ying's body sank, and he almost fell to the ground in a sorry state before he could react.
"Damn it! You have no martial ethics!" Crimson Shadow cursed, actually using its bloodline pressure to launch a sneak attack.
"I'd be happy to." Seeing Chi Ying's discomfiture, Bi Qiong looked smug.
"Master, I have broken through to the second-tier sacred beast." Xuan Guang slowly crawled over.
"Master, Master, Yao Yao's strength has reached the ninth-tier spirit beast level, and Yao Yao is also working hard to become stronger." Yao Yao said in a soft and sweet voice, "Although Yao Yao's strength is the weakest among them, she will still protect Master and help Master fight."
