Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2291 - 2247: Elder Gu’s Recruitment

It’s just a pity. Chen Yang is indeed interested in alchemy, but what he values more is martial arts.

To him, alchemy is merely an auxiliary path.

"Thank you for your kindness, Elder, but currently I do not have any plans to join the Pill Hall. I still wish to stay in the third area to strengthen my cultivation," Chen Yang thought for a moment and said.

In the Pill Hall, aside from them, there is no one else.

Otherwise, people would likely be shocked to death.

To have declined Elder Gu’s olive branch?

What kind of person is this?

"However, Elder, I have always had a strong interest in alchemy. If I encounter any questions in the future and seek your guidance, I hope you will help me," Chen Yang continued.

Elder Gu is easygoing, and he extended the olive branch to Chen Yang because he sees him as a genius in the Alchemy Dao.

And facing Chen Yang’s rejection, he can only feel it’s a pity and has no other thoughts.

"Chen Yang, to be frank, your talent in Alchemy Dao is truly outstanding. If you don’t focus on alchemy, it would be such a waste," Elder Gu still stated.

"No need to rush to refuse me. I’ll give you some time to think it over. If you wish to join the Pill Hall, there’s still a chance in the future."

Elder Gu’s sincerity was evident.

Chen Yang felt it too.

With Elder Gu saying so, Chen Yang naturally couldn’t continue refusing.

He could only agree to consider it seriously.

"Here, this is a second-grade elixir formula. Take a look, and if you manage to refine it, return the formula to me," Elder Gu smiled and nodded, then handed over another elixir formula to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang currently lacks elixir formulas, so naturally, he wouldn’t refuse.

"Thank you, Elder."

Chen Yang thanked him and accepted.

"Alright, you may leave now. I should go and refine my elixirs."

The conversation ended, and Elder Gu smiled as he let Chen Yang leave.

"Disciple takes leave."

Chen Yang carefully stored the elixir formula and left the Pill Hall.

"Stop."

Chen Yang walked out of the Pill Hall’s vicinity in good spirits when suddenly a reprimanding voice came from behind.

Chen Yang’s face immediately darkened.

Because without looking, he knew who it was.

It’s Yang Feng, isn’t it?

"What do you want now? Are you not satisfied unless I deal with you?" Chen Yang turned and said impatiently.

This Yang Feng has no skills but is quite good at trash talk.

To such a person, Chen Yang had long been impatient.

"Chen Yang, you’re too arrogant. You go to Master’s place every day, what are you up to?" Yang Feng ignored Chen Yang’s words and instead continued his own questioning.

Chen Yang laughed upon hearing this.

It turns out this guy always targets me because he’s jealous, huh.

Feeling that Elder Gu appreciates me, so he takes this attitude?

No wonder, no wonder.

But what he finds contemptible is that Yang Feng, a grown man, actually gets jealous like this.

Also, he’s quite petty.

"What I talk to Elder Gu about has nothing to do with you. Do you have anything or not? If there’s nothing, I’m leaving. If you want to fight, you’re welcome to challenge me anytime," Chen Yang said directly, not wanting to waste words.

"Chen Yang, don’t think you’re all that. I’m talking to you nicely now; I’m giving you an opportunity, understand?" Yang Feng said through gritted teeth, feeling that if his strength allowed, he would definitely fight Chen Yang right then.

"Well, sorry, I don’t need that kind of opportunity."

Chen Yang didn’t want to spend more time on him, leaving those words behind and just walked away.

"Fine, Chen Yang, just wait. You’ll regret it," Yang Feng threatened.

Chen Yang didn’t respond, walking straight away.

Returning to his residence.

On the way past the academy, he always felt like people nearby were looking at him strangely.

As if pointing and gossiping behind his back.

Chen Yang found it odd, but didn’t think much of it, and just went back.

Soon after returning to his cave, there was a knock at the door.

Chen Yang got up and opened the door, seeing Tu Qi.

This guy had a relaxed expression initially, but upon seeing him, his face turned to surprise.

"Brother Chen Yang, you’re really back," Tu Qi remarked in surprise.

"What’s wrong? Can’t I come back?" Chen Yang laughed.

"Oh dear, you came back at just the wrong time," Tu Qi said anxiously.

"What happened exactly?"

Looking at Tu Qi’s expression, Chen Yang couldn’t help but recall the strange looks from the students on his way back.

Realizing there must be something going on.

And indeed, there was.

"This isn’t the place to talk about it. Let’s go inside and speak," Tu Qi suggested.

"Okay."

Chen Yang nodded, invited Tu Qi inside, and then listened as Tu Qi explained the whole situation.

Turns out, during his time away from the academy.

A guy named Liu Ziye openly called out, wanting to challenge him,

In the name of avenging his junior, Li Tian.

And that Liu Ziye is a master from the second area.

Not only strong on his own, but also lucky enough to travel with the academy’s powerful team to the Northern Region.

Now back, his strength has grown significantly.

After issuing the challenge to Chen Yang, the entire academy knew about it, causing quite an upheaval.

"That Liu Ziye is truly shameless. He’s been in the second area for many years, always very strong, yet he openly challenges you? He’s not even embarrassed," Tu Qi said after explaining the details, unable to resist complaining.

Because the academy has always had a rule that only those ranked lower can challenge those ranked higher.

According to the rules, Liu Ziye can’t challenge Chen Yang.

So making such remarks was definitely meant to provoke Chen Yang into challenging him first.

"Besides challenging me, he must have said other things," Chen Yang finished listening, remaining calm, only slightly surprised that Zhao Shuo had such a powerful disciple, unexpected indeed.

"Haha, how do you know he said other things?" Tu Qi laughed awkwardly.

"What else did he say, tell me quickly."

Chen Yang didn’t explain, just prompted him.

"He also said that if you dare challenge him, he’ll let you use only one hand. If you don’t have the guts to challenge him, then kneel and apologize to his junior, Li Tian," Tu Qi said.

Hearing this, Chen Yang smiled.

He had already anticipated it.

A person like Liu Ziye is surely full of pride.

How could he just calmly say he wants a fight with me? Surely, there’s more to it.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be too disgraceful for him?

After all, he’s a top disciple from the second area.

"Let me use only one hand, what a big mouth," Chen Yang smiled slightly.

"He’s really something, Liu Ziye may be strong, but there’s no need to be so arrogant. I’m speechless too; when our strength improves, let’s beat him up," Tu Qi said with anger.

Extremely dissatisfied with Liu Ziye’s behavior.

While Chen Yang just smiled lightly, saying nothing.

"But Brother Chen Yang, now is not the time to face him, we still need to endure."

"Liu Ziye, no matter how we view him, is still from the second area. Let’s endure a bit, it’s not shameful," Tu Qi said after venting, trying to persuade Chen Yang.

After spending time together, he felt Chen Yang is fearless and bold.

Afraid that Chen Yang would actually respond to Liu Ziye’s provocation.

"I know what I’m doing," Chen Yang smiled lightly, neither agreeing nor denying.

And Tu Qi didn’t think much: "As long as you know, that’s fine. In a few days, the Qi-Raising Tower will open again. At that time we can go together, I won’t bother your cultivation now."

After explaining the matter, Tu Qi was ready to leave.

Chen Yang didn’t insist on keeping him, just saw him out.
