Chapter 110 Crushing a Rank 6 Alchemist, Heading to the Burning Flame Valley

A giant palm formed from Soul Power floated in the air, causing layers of spatial ripples to fluctuate.

At this sight, Elder Chi Huo's heart also trembled; a dull expression was no longer enough to describe the stormy waves crashing within his mind.

The status of a Seventh-Rank Alchemist carried immense weight even within the Central Region. Inside the Pill Tower, while not at the Peak, it was considered among the top tier.

He gloated for a second; the Cheng Family and Zeng Xiu were likely in for some big trouble!

Zeng Xiu originally wanted to admit defeat right then. It was one thing for Gu He to be a Seventh-Rank Alchemist, but based on his current knowledge, the intensity of the Soul Power radiating out was clearly approaching that of a Grade 8 Alchemist!

How could he, a Sixth-Rank Alchemist, fight against a Seventh-Rank Peak?

However, Cheng Yao, the head of the Cheng Family, gave him a look that clearly forbade him from backing down.

Zeng Xiu thought about the high extra payment he was promised.

Fine, he would risk these old bones of his!

Whether he succeeded or failed, the Cheng Family would have to pay him!

But Zeng Xiu didn't plan on using Soul Power to attack Gu He. He knew the gap between them, so he only released a thick Soul Barrier, using all of his Soul Power to protect his body.

He didn't have many thoughts now; he just wanted the Cheng Family head to see—

He really couldn't win!

Gu He's giant Soul hand clenched into a hammer and fell with lightning speed. The sky-covering hammer, like a heavy weapon of a great nation, slammed fiercely onto the Soul Barrier.

Boom!

The massive force not only caused the bluestone tiles of the plaza to shatter but also made the surrounding crowd retreat several steps, nearly causing a panic.

Crack!!

The barrier shattered upon impact, splintering into pieces like a dropped egg.

Meanwhile, Gu He remained standing in place with an easy expression.

Zeng Xiu could tell at a glance that Gu He had held back. His old bones couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh as he cupped his fists toward Gu He with respect.

"This old man was impolite."

"Talents emerge in every generation!"

He turned to look at Cheng Yao, the head of the Cheng Family, the meaning in his eyes self-evident.

Liu Qing, on the other hand, was quite excited.

He had thought he would return empty-handed today, losing face before the two Liu Family Elders and causing the Clan Chief's dignity to vanish completely. Who would have thought Gu He would descend from the heavens and reclaim the rights to the space wormhole for the Liu Family!

At the same time, he felt a bit apprehensive because he wasn't familiar with Gu He at all!

"Lord Gu... thank you so much!"

"I wonder what our Liu Family can do for you?"

Gu He pondered for a moment and said, "Isn't a new auction house preparing to move into Sky Yellow City recently?"

He had been following the news of the Mittel Auction House's expansion these past few days.

"Just look after their business a bit; that is my friend's auction house."

Liu Qing nodded repeatedly, "My Liu Family will certainly establish a cooperative relationship and assist them with all our strength!"

One must know that the management rights of a space wormhole brought in massive financial gains and could suppress the Cheng Family's arrogance. Since Gu He helped the Liu Family secure this right, the Liu Family would offer him corresponding actions or rewards.

"Then from now on, for the next three years, the Sky Yellow City space wormhole will be handed over to the Liu Family!"

Elder Chi Huo began to announce that the management rights of the space wormhole belonged to the Liu Family, requiring only the timely payment of tribute.

Elder Chi Huo turned to look at Gu He, his old face slightly suppressing the shock in his eyes. He rubbed his hands together like an insect foraging for food and spoke up,

"Lord Gu He, now that the ownership of the wormhole has been decided, I wonder if you have time to accompany this old man to the Burning Flame Valley?"

"Our Valley Master wishes to refine a high-level Medicinal Pill and needs the cooperation of a high-Rank Alchemist."

"Although the Valley Master is not an Alchemist, his ability to control flames is astonishing. Relying on a Heavenly Flame, he can refine pills of lower grades, but for high-grade pills, he requires assistance from others."

"But now..." Elder Chi Huo paused, then changed the subject,

"My Lord, you are a Seventh-Rank Alchemist, right?"

Gu He nodded faintly.

Elder Chi Huo couldn't help but recall Gu He's crushing victory over Zeng Xiu.

"Could it be that My Lord is already at the Seventh-Rank Peak?"

Gu He's robes billowed in the wind as he nodded,

"Yes, as you say."

Elder Chi Huo immediately smiled, "The Valley Master sent several of us Elders out to find Alchemists. Now that I've found you, you are likely the highest-level among all the Alchemists!"

"It's just..." He hesitated for a moment and said cautiously:

"The Valley Master has also sought out other Alchemists, so you might have to compete with them. However, if you can help the Valley Master successfully refine the pill, there will certainly be a heavy reward."

Gu He naturally didn't care. With his strength, let alone assisting, he could refine it himself.

If not for the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame of the Burning Flame Valley, he wouldn't even be dealing with Elder Chi Huo.

"Lead the way, Elder..." Gu He paused, "But before that, I need to inform my companions."

Gu He flew to the outskirts of the plaza, found Yun Yun and the others, and explained his purpose.

Yun Yun held Qing Lin's hand and said, "Then I'll take Qing Lin to see the surrounding markets and see if we can find any treasures."

Feng Qing'er also nodded, deciding to follow Yun Yun.

Xiao Yi Xian took a step forward, her face full of curiosity, her beautiful eyes ethereal and pure,

"Teacher, can I go with you?"

"I also want to see Teacher crush... oh no, show off your brilliance!"

Gu He looked at the excitement overflowing from her eyes, smiled, and rubbed her head, "Okay, of course, no problem."

"You are now a High-tier Fourth-Rank Alchemist; it's good to broaden your horizons."

Gu He took Xiao Yi Xian's hand and went to find Elder Chi Huo.

Since Gu He was bringing an extra person, how could Elder Chi Huo possibly disagree?

Who was this?

This was an honored guest of their valley!

At least, that's what old man Chi Huo said.

...

The three of them traveled together to the Scorching Fire Mountain Range in the southwest of the Central Region. Nestled within this range of fiery volcanoes was the famous Burning Flame Valley.

Amidst the crimson landscape, the figure of a West Phantom Dragon Beast flying mount swept past.

The environment of this mountain range was harsh, with vast and abundant fire-attribute energy, making it an excellent place for cultivation.

Along the way, Elder Chi Huo constantly introduced the area, his tone filled with pride.

The Flying Beast stopped at the foot of the mountain. The three descended from the beast to find two giant mountains leaning close together and a long stone staircase before them.

"Follow me, Lord Gu He," Elder Chi Huo said with a smile.

Ever since he learned Gu He was a Seventh-Rank Peak Alchemist, he had been feeling refreshed. After all, he would certainly be the one who completed the Valley Master's task the best.

The three walked past a spatial barrier. Then, Elder Chi Huo took out a fiery red jade token from his storage ring and pressed it against the barrier. As strange ripples spread out, the spatial barrier, capable of withstanding the attack of a Dou Zun Expert, split open automatically.

"Lord Gu He, please—"

Elder Chi Huo made a gesture of invitation.

Gu He narrowed his eyes. The door formed by this spatial rift appearing before him was quite imposing.

He took Xiao Yi Xian's hand and nodded to her,

"Let's go, Xian'er."
