Chapter 430: Generous Gift

"Did he say that?" Gu Dan didn't believe it.

"Of course it's true." Xun'er turned around, took Xiao Se's hand, and walked to Gu Dan, introducing him, "Big brother, let me introduce you. This is our Gu clan's elusive Master Gu Dan. His alchemy skills are the best in the continent today. He is a true ninth-grade golden elixir alchemist and a Dou Sheng. In terms of seniority, even my father has to call him cousin."

Xiao Se bowed and said, "You have been staring at the one in my hand just now. I think I have guessed your identity. I think you should be the teacher Gu Lao mentioned in my master Podocarpus's suicide note."

As he spoke, Xiao Se took out Podocarpus' suicide note from his ring.

Gu Dan was startled, took the suicide note, opened it, and read it, then sighed and said, "That little guy, I have no regrets in my life as I have a successor like you."

"Master, since you are my master's teacher, why is he..."

Gu Dan sighed and said, "You want to ask me why a Dou Sheng master's disciple only reached the peak of Dou Huang, right?"

Xiao Se nodded slowly.

Gu Dan continued with a sigh, "In fact, I have never accepted any apprentices. For thousands of years, I have been a bohemian, dressed as a beggar, experiencing all kinds of things in the world. About two hundred years ago, when Wutan City was just a small village, I passed by there, and the little guy took me in out of pity. He never disliked me. I saw that he had the talent of a pharmacist, so I taught him for a month and gave him this ring. After that, we never met again."

Xiao Se said with some regret: "But he has always regarded you as his teacher."

Gu Dan was also quite emotional: "Yes, I didn't expect that six years ago, I would return to the old place and see this familiar ring on you. And based on the aura you left behind, I found the cave where he passed away. Only then did I realize that time is unforgiving."

Xiao Se suddenly realized and asked, "So, it was you who asked the president of the Jia Ma Empire Alchemist Guild to hold the Alchemist Conference four years in advance?"

Gu Ling nodded and said, "Yes, your soul talent was rare in ancient times, and you have the memory of refining the medicine of that little guy. Your strength is growing rapidly. I am worried that your character will not be able to keep up with the improvement of your strength and harm yourself. Therefore, I left a recipe for the Breaking Sect Pill and specifically told you that only you can read it. On the one hand, it is to temper you, and on the other hand, it is to protect you. With the recipe for the Breaking Sect Pill, those impatient little guys in the Jia Ma Empire will not dare to have any improper thoughts about you."

"What I didn't expect was that a little guy like you would grow up so fast. It's incredible."

"Thank you, Grandmaster." The Alchemist Conference did bring him huge benefits. The recipe for the sect-breaking elixir and the increase in fame were secondary. The biggest gains were the Soul Collection and the secret technique of the God of Fire's Wrath.

If there hadn't been that Alchemist Conference, the president of the Black Rock City Alchemist Guild might not have been willing to hand over the Soul-Bearing to him, and there would have been no way to tame the Strange Fire. Later, when he added more items to the Holy City Alchemist Guild's trading hall, he wouldn't have been able to get the Fire God's Wrath Secret Technique.

"Haha, since you call me Grandmaster, then I'll accept the offer. But as the Grandmaster, I can't leave out any thanks. Today, I'll give you three things." Gu Dan laughed, stroked his beard, and then took out the first item.

A residual picture

"The remaining picture of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire." Xiao Se's eyes lit up.

Gu Dan's eyes flashed with surprise, "Oh? It seems that you have seen this incomplete map, and you may even have collected the remaining three pieces."

"Master, how did this fragment of the map end up in your hands?" Xiao Se neither denied nor admitted Gu Dan's question. He took the fragment of the map with some excitement and asked. He remembered that this fragment of the map was supposed to appear at the Space Trade Fair.

Gu Dan said, "I have had this fragment of the map for hundreds of years. I had planned to wait for seven or eight years until the Pure Lotus Demon Fire descended again and then spread it out for the destined person. I never thought that the destined person would be you."

Xiao Se suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the last piece of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire remnant in the original novel did not appear earlier or later, but only appeared when the demon fire was about to descend into the world.

Feelings are in Guddan's hands.

"This is the second gift I give you, old man." Gu Dan put his index and middle fingers together and tapped lightly. Instantly a huge spiritual force poured into Xiao Se's mind. Fortunately, Xiao Se's soul was strong, otherwise he would have been shocked into a fool.

Immediately, a strange and distant memory emerged in Xiao Se's mind out of nowhere. Similar to Podocarpus's memory, this memory also belonged to the alchemist's memory, recording Gu Dan's experience as an alchemist for nearly a thousand years.

Before Xiao Se could digest this memory, Gu Long casually threw out a storage ring, "This is the third gift. I don't have much to give you as an old man. It just so happens that I have accumulated a lot of spiritual medicines over the years, so I'll give it to you."

"Thank you, Master." Xiao Se bowed to express his gratitude.

Gu Dan waved his hand, casually tore open a space crack, and left a sentence, "I look forward to the day when you become an imperial alchemist."

After saying that, he rushed into the space crack, the crack closed, and he disappeared directly into this world.

"This master is a person who doesn't care about trivial matters." Looking at the place where Gu Dan disappeared, Xiao Se couldn't help but murmur.

He immediately checked the storage ring and found countless precious elixirs and pill recipes inside, even the Soul Poppy Fruit, a miraculous medicine that replenishes the original soul energy. There were also materials for refining the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pills, and there were countless of them.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this great master was generous. Now he, Xiao, would have no shortage of medicinal materials to make any kind of elixir.

"Dad, what did our great-grandmaster give you as the second and third gifts just now?" Xiao Xue stepped forward and hugged Xiao Se's arm, unable to help but ask.

"His lifelong experience as an alchemist, and a magical medicine that even ancient families would envy. He left all the magical medicines he had collected throughout his life to me." Xiao Se smiled.

"This great master with a weird temper is generous." Xiao Xue sighed.

"Rather than being generous, it's better to say that you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb." Xun'er, who was watching quietly from the side, hugged Xiao Se's other arm and smiled, "I heard from my father that my uncle Gu Dan is a man who won't release the eagle until he sees the rabbit. He gave guidance to Senior Podocarpus because Senior Podocarpus was kind-hearted and didn't despise his appearance. And now, giving you this generous gift, means that I value your talent and potential."

"Just think about it, with your character, Big Brother, when the president of the Alchemist Guild of Black Rock City gave you a piece of Naling, you asked Medusa to treat him specially. Now he has given you such a valuable gift. If you have the ability in the future, will you not help him to make further progress?"

Xiao Se nodded and said, "That seems to be the case, but no matter what, I have already thanked this great master for his kindness today."
