"Hmph, what a cunning Disciple!" Lang Ya Earth Spirit cursed in a fit of pique.
He had expended a great deal of effort to successfully refine the Second Aperture Immortal Gu, and had originally thought he could smoothly hand that Immortal Gu over to Old Immortal, but he hadn't expected to be tricked by this cunning fellow Liu Chen, who used this opportunity to refine the Mind Wandering Gu back.
Although he discovered Liu Chen's little trick, due to his agreement with Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable, he couldn't act against Liu Chen, and now he even had to treat Liu Chen like a Disciple.
This made Lang Ya Earth Spirit extremely annoyed.
He ungraciously extended his hand towards Liu Chen, signaling for Liu Chen to hand over the Immortal Gu.
However, Liu Chen unhurriedly said, "No rush, Master.
As the saying goes, even close brothers settle accounts clearly.
Although we have the title of Master and Disciple, you haven't even given this Disciple a proper apprenticeship gift.
This truly disheartens this Disciple!"
After speaking, Liu Chen unceremoniously refined those two Immortal Gu directly, taking them into his immortal aperture.
Then, he looked at Lang Ya Earth Spirit with a wronged expression, as if blaming Lang Ya Earth Spirit for not valuing him enough.
"Good, you detestable Human Race Disciple!" Lang Ya Earth Spirit's face was filled with rage.
He widened his eyes, staring fixedly at Liu Chen, as if he was about to spit fire.
"You don't consider your Master at all.
Are you really going to make me give you an immortal gu as well?"
Upon seeing this, Liu Chen immediately put on a fawning smile and quickly said, "How dare I, how dare I!
How could this Disciple dare to have such extravagant hopes, Master?
You are a magnanimous person, so please don't bother with this Disciple.
I just want a mortal Gu, and I hope Master can fulfill this Disciple's small request."
Lang Ya Earth Spirit's expression softened slightly upon hearing Liu Chen's words, but he still said with some displeasure, "That's more like it.
However, which mortal Gu do you want?"
Seeing Lang Ya Earth Spirit's attitude loosen, Liu Chen rejoiced inwardly and quickly said, "This Disciple wants a hundred-year Longevity Gu."
He knew very well that his biggest weakness currently was his lifespan, and Lang Ya Blessed Land did not lack Longevity Gu, which was why he made this request.
Lang Ya Earth Spirit listened to Liu Chen's words, was silent for a moment, then suddenly reached out and grabbed, and a hundred-year Longevity Gu appeared in his hand.
He handed this Longevity Gu to Liu Chen and said, "Here, is this enough?"
"Thank you, Master, but this Immortal Gu is also extremely important to your Disciple, so I can only lend it to you for a maximum of one month," Liu Chen said with a slight smile on his face and a firm tone.
He secretly calculated in his heart that although this Immortal Gu was indeed very important to him, Lang Ya Earth Spirit was his Master after all, and there was still the Three Gu Agreement, so he wasn't worried that Lang Ya Earth Spirit would fall out with him over such a small matter.
However, Liu Chen's words were like a fire, instantly igniting Lang Ya Earth Spirit's fury.
"What?
A hundred-year Longevity Gu, and you only let me borrow this Immortal Gu for one month?
Do you really think this Old Immortal has no temper!
Treasure Yellow Heaven has had more than one precedent of exchanging Immortal Gu for Longevity Gu, and you actually want to go back on your word?
I think you are deliberately trying to provoke me!
Then as a Master, it is only right for me to discipline a disobedient Disciple!" Lang Ya Earth Spirit widened his eyes, his face full of rage, and his entire Aura erupted like a volcano, as if he was about to strike at any moment.
Upon seeing this, Liu Chen's heart tightened, but he was not intimidated by Lang Ya Earth Spirit's Aura.
He took a deep breath and quickly said, "Master, please calm your anger, don't be angry yet, listen to your Disciple explain."
Saying that, Liu Chen quickly took out an Immortal Gu recipe from his embrace and displayed it in front of Lang Ya Earth Spirit.
"This is an Immortal Gu recipe?
Let me see!" Lang Ya Earth Spirit's voice was filled with eagerness and excitement, as if this piece of paper was a treasure it had long dreamed of.
When his gaze fell on that white paper, all his anger instantly vanished without a trace.
His eyes were fixed on the words on the paper, and just a casual glance had already made him unable to look away.
Lang Ya Earth Spirit unhesitatingly reached out and snatched the Immortal Gu recipe from Liu Chen's hand.
Liu Chen secretly rejoiced in his heart; this was exactly the outcome he had hoped for.
Facing Lang Ya Earth Spirit's snatching, he showed no intention of resisting, as if the paper with the Immortal Gu recipe written on it had no value to him anymore.
Lang Ya Earth Spirit reached out and grabbed, and that Immortal Gu recipe obediently fell into his hand.
And Liu Chen, like an onlooker, quietly watched all this happen, with even a faint, imperceptible smile on his face.
"Good immortal gu, good idea, truly a Genius's conception!" Lang Ya Earth Spirit couldn't help but exclaim, his eyes fixed on the recipe in front of him, as if he wanted to see through it.
The layout of this recipe was clear and concise, every step meticulously designed, making one marvel at the ingenuity of this Immortal Gu recipe.
"It's even a Rank 7 Immortal Gu recipe!" A hint of surprise was revealed in Lang Ya Earth Spirit's voice.
He meticulously examined the various Gu material pairings and the perfectly executed Gu refining techniques on the recipe, and the more he looked, the more he felt the exquisite brilliance of this recipe.
However, when Lang Ya Earth Spirit saw the latter half of the recipe, his expression suddenly changed.
"Ah, why is there only the first half!
Where is the rest of the recipe?" he asked anxiously, his tone filled with disappointment and regret.
The first half of this recipe was already so brilliant, he truly couldn't imagine how stunning the latter half would be.
Liu Chen watched Lang Ya Earth Spirit's reaction from the side, secretly amused.
He knew the preciousness of this recipe and understood Lang Ya Earth Spirit's desire for it.
So, he smiled and said, "Master has good eyesight, this is indeed a Rank 7 Immortal Gu recipe, and it's an extremely rare luck Dao Immortal Gu."
Liu Chen's words revealed flattery towards Lang Ya Earth Spirit, while also hinting at the value of this recipe.
He deliberately kept him in suspense, not immediately answering Lang Ya Earth Spirit's question about the latter half of the recipe, but instead allowed Lang Ya Earth Spirit to continue to maintain his curiosity and anticipation for this recipe.
"Luck Dao immortal gu?
Is the collapse of the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building related to you!" Lang Ya Earth Spirit's voice was filled with shock and disbelief.
He widened his eyes, staring fixedly at Liu Chen, as if trying to see the truth of the matter through his body.
Liu Chen shook his head and said with a smile, "Master, you really know how to joke.
I'm just a Rank Six Gu Immortal who just ascended to immortality, how could I have the ability to push down the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building?"
However, Lang Ya Earth Spirit was not moved by Liu Chen's words.
He scrutinized Liu Chen up and down, as if examining whether he was lying.
