The Lightning Driver
Chapters. 173. Shi Chen's Request
There, Shi Chen, Thio Chang, Lou Yuan and a few other Alchemist elders had also been present, all of them wearing golden-yellow Alchemist robes that signified all of them were Celestial Realm Alchemists.
Yu Jiang who had not come to pick up Gou Long was also seen among the elders, he was striking because of the different robes and ages of all the elders present there.
The faces of Shi Chen, Thio Cang and Yu Jiang, looked dark as they held deep anger and weight.
Then when Gou Long and the others were present, the faces of Shi Chen and Thio Chang changed and tried their best to hold back their feelings, in contrast to Yu Jiang who looked overjoyed, he even patted one of his clenched hands into another palm.
“Well! Maybe he can be our solution Master!” yu Jiang shouted, then he whispered something into Thio Chang's ears, the face of Thio Cang also looked sparkling.
“Junior Gou! We from the Alchemist Association have been since a month ago eager to have a conversation with you, yet back then, the Sacred Land of Swordsmen blocked our intentions, this opportunity is a soul mate and sky guidance Junior Gou had the opportunity to come here,” Shi Chen said opening a conversation.
“Please choose the most comfortable seat!” continued Patriarch Shi allowing all those who had just come to sit down.
Gou Long then clenched his hands in front of his chest, “A great honor The Patriarch of the Alchemist Association wants to have a conversation with this Junior, honestly.” Gou Long again clenched his hands on his chest, and facing the direction of the other Elders, “Junior is also eager to have Patriarch and the other Elders take a little time for this Junior need.” Gou Long.
After saying so, he turned around and chose one of the positions closest to the main seat in the hall.
The other people from the Alchemist Association who were present with Gou Long also did the same.
“We are our own people, why do we have to be too shy? Junior Gou just tell us what's in the way or what we can help Junior Gou. Ha ha ha..” Thio Chang was still carried away with a feeling of pleasure by what Yu Jiang whispered, so he had already considered Gou Long like his own family.
Gou Long was not stupid, from the beginning he had seen the facial changes of Thio Chang and Yu Jiang, even more so against the yelling of Yu Jiang that he had previously believed it would be related to him.
“Alright because Vice Association Thio said so this Junior will not hesitate. However, it is not wrong if Junior asks ‘What can junior help the seniors?’ aren't we our own people.”
All of the elders were shocked by Gou Long's courage, especially the elders who did not know Gou Long and did not know he had successfully stepped into the Heavenly Realm.
“Ha ha ha!..” Thi Chen laughed, hearing the conversation between Gou Long and Thio Chang, he could guess the direction of these two people's conversation, the look on his face had also changed completely.
“I as the Patriarch of the Association strongly agree with Brother Thio's opinion, however, at this time Junior Gou's interests will be more we prioritize, then we can talk about our interests after.”
“Then the arrangement of the Patriarch, then this Junior will be forthright, honestly this Junior is eager to take the exam and has a badge along with the official Alchemist robe, to be honest, When and how is the procedure for all things junior has explained earlier?” gou Long asked, not hesitating.
“Ha ha ha!..” Thi Chen laughed again, “For Junior Gou there is no need to take the exam anymore, even I myself will bestow the Golden Cloak of the Celestial Realm Alchemist on Junior Gou.”.
Gaining such a shout, Patriarch Shi incubated and let out his pressure aura, which made people at the Celestial Realm cultivation level trouble breathing.
“Patriak Shi! Withstanding your pressure, Junior also agreed with the elder's opinion earlier, how could Junior without following the procedure, directly be able to obtain the Golden Alchemist Cloak?” Gou Long demanded an explanation from Patriarch Shi which at once resuscitated him from a furious feeling.
“Very good! Young people who are self-conscious and never feel high are really rare in this world.” Patriarch Shi praised Gou Long, he also gave his thumbs up, “Junior Gou needn't hide it, me and my two representatives know as well, wasn't it Junior Gou who had successfully concocted the pill that was endowed with Heaven and Earth the other day?”
“The other elders may not know, it is natural that they did not seem to agree, but I also do not like being yelled at, it is very disrespectful of my position as Patriarch, but I can ignore this given Junior Gou's interests. So..” back Patriarch Shi took a pause and sifted out a breath for a moment after speaking at length.
“So after knowing this fact, will any of you be able to concoct pills endowed with Heaven and Earth? All righty! It's too hard for you guys, I'll make it a little easier. Is there any of us who can guarantee a success rate in concocting pills of up to one hundred percent, without failure?”
Getting such questions as well as challenges from Patriarch Shi all the Alchemist Elders fell silent.
They had to admit, none of them had managed to concoct pills with such a level of success as Patriarch Shi had said, yet, The pills that Heaven and Earth endowed were the result of the fusion of rare ingredients as well as the success rate in concocting pills with a hundred percent success percentage.
After a while, not getting an answer from the other elders, Patriarch Shi continued, “Nah! Since there is no answer from all of you, does anyone still object to the graduation without procedure for Junior Gou?”
After looking at each other for a moment, all the other Elders simultaneously said, “We agree!.” no one dares to refute this time.
Patriarch Shi then patted hard hands twice, “Plok! Plok!” then a Housekeeper of the Alchemist Association walked over and saluted Patriarch Shi.
“Bring me a set of Golden Robes and Celestial Realm Alchemist Badges, put it all on the table of the young man sitting there!” patriarch Shi's orders, while pointing at where Gou Long sat.
“Good Patriarch!” he passed after paying his respects to everyone in the hall.
Patriarch Shi again continued, “That's the first point of my decision today, then I also have one other request on Junior Gou,” Patriarch Shi turned around and faced his face at Gou Long as well as stared intently into the eyeballs of the young man.
“Will you be an Elder/Outdoor Elder of the Alchemist Association?” ask Patriarch Shi.
This time not only were the Alchemists shocked, Gou Long himself even came as a surprise, for Gou Long to be an outer Elder was not a problem, the outer Elder was not bound by the Association, either, and not necessarily from an Alchemist, anyone could become an outer Elder at the request and approval of the Patriarch and the other Elders.
However, this was still something extraordinary and out of the common custom of elevating a young man into an Outer Elder.
