"What's going on?" Gu Chen didn't quite understand why Tian Chanzi was suddenly willing to see them.
"Leader, you don't know this. The Old Man heard Fatty's words and concluded that Tian Chanzi is a person who pursues alchemy wholeheartedly. As for other aspects, he has no desire.
"It's useless to promise such a person great benefits. We can only start from alchemy itself.
"The Old Man told Tian Chanzi about the strangeness of the Jade Dragon Pill. This pill recipe is rare, and it can also judge the level of an alchemist. It must have aroused his interest.
"I told him that Daolord Pillbook, one of the Hundred County Daolords who is famous throughout the Chaos Sea, had once refined this pill when he was young. When the pill was formed, it had eleven green runes. It could be considered perfect.
"After Tian Chanzi saw it, he must have wanted to compete with him. His hands were itching, so he refined this pill."
The hunchbacked old man explained with a smile. Fatty Qian couldn't help but gasp.
"I've heard of Dao Monarch Danshu. Rumor has it that he is the only great figure who has achieved the position of Dao Monarch through alchemy. He can only refine 66 green patterns. Tian Chanzi is better than him and refined 67?"
Fatty Qian was frightened, but the hunchbacked old man and Gu Chen laughed together.
"Senior, you said that Dao Monarch Danshu had also refined this pill. Is that a lie?" Gu Chen guessed the truth.
"Yes, the Old Man has only heard of Dao Monarch Danshu's name. He has never met him. How would he know such a secret?"
"That's just to fool Tian Chanzi. Look, didn't he take the bait?"
The hunchbacked old man smiled sinisterly.
"It's a lie? What if he finds out? "Fatty Qian understood and asked in surprise.
"Tian Chanzi may not have met Dao Monarch Danshu. As long as we don't take the initiative to tell the truth, how will he know?"
"Besides, this is just a stopgap measure to make him willing to see us. If we can't meet him, how will we have a chance to recruit him?"
What the hunchback old man said made Fatty Qian speechless.
"Senior, I don't think Tian Chanzi is willing to meet us just because you mentioned Dao Monarch Alchemy's name, right?" Gu Chen said in a low voice.
"That's right. The Old Man told Tian Chanzi that he had a few pill recipes passed down from the Ancient Underworld Era and was willing to give them to him. That's why Tian Chanzi was willing to meet him," the hunchbacked old man replied.
"Pill recipe from the Ancient Underworld Era? Is this also a lie? "Fatty Qian's face was full of suspicion.
"No, that's true. If you're not willing to pay anything, how can you recruit such a genius?"
The hunchbacked old man solemnly informed Gu Chen, "Although it is false that Dao Monarch Danshu has refined the Jade Dragon Pill, Tian Chanzi was able to improve on the perfect foundation and refine twelve green patterns, which is enough to show that his alchemy skills have reached a magical level."
"This person is most in line with your requirements, and even far exceeds your expectations. He's worthy of our efforts to win him over!"
Gu Chen nodded, and a little hope was ignited in his heart. If it was such an alchemist, perhaps he could help him refine a truly perfect Eternal Golden Pill.
"Old man, you're right, but with just a few pill recipes, do you think he would be willing to join us?" Fatty Qian muttered.
"Where there's a will, there's a will. The Old Man will do his best to create opportunities. As for whether we can subdue this person, it's all up to you," the hunchbacked old man said with a smile.
Gu Chen nodded. Man proposes, God disposes. They still had a long way to go to expand their influence. If they could get Tian Chanzi's help, it would be a solid step forward.
"The day of the meeting is tomorrow. Everyone, move out and meet this person!" Gu Chen's eyes lit up.
…
Because of the unique chaotic sand-window landform, the three thousand Micro Worlds had formed different environments.
Some of these Micro Worlds had developed into bustling cities, while others were inaccessible and had beautiful natural scenery.
Tian Chanzi's residence was called the Golden Toad World, which was built by occupying an entire Micro World.
The Golden Toad World was only accessible through a small, curved chaotic sand-window. The narrowest part was only a hundred feet wide, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Today, Gu Chen's group of more than ten people arrived outside the Golden Toad World.
The entrance ahead was covered in thick fog, making it impossible to see the situation inside.
"Who are you?"
Sensing the arrival of Gu Chen's group, a boy's clear voice came from the entrance.
"We're here to visit Grandmaster Tian Chanzi."
Gu Chen stood at the head of the group and handed over Tian Chanzi's reply with a smile.
The reply immediately turned into a white light and flew into the entrance. After a long while, the boy replied.
"May I know which one of you is Senior John Doe?"
The hunchbacked old man standing beside Gu Chen took a step forward and said with a smile. "Yes, I am the Old Man."
Since he had abandoned his past identity, he was a nobody. The name 'hunchbacked old man' was given very casually.
"Senior John Doe, my master has already told me that you will come. Please!"
After the boy finished speaking, the fog at the entrance stirred and revealed a passage.
The group then entered the passage. After a few steps, they found a lake in front of them. A boy with red lips and white teeth was standing in the middle of the passage, waiting for them.
"Everyone, please," the boy said politely.
The group then boarded the boat. The boat moved without any wind and followed a specific route to the depths of the Golden Toad World. Every time they passed a place, the endless fog would shroud them again.
Frogs croaked and cicadas chirped occasionally. It was quiet and distant.
"Senior John Doe, my master was ready to receive you today, but another group of guests suddenly came to visit. I'm afraid you'll have to wait for half a day."
On the way, the boy explained with a slightly apologetic tone.
"It's okay."
The hunchbacked old man replied casually, but his eyes communicated with Gu Chen.
This was a little strange.
Didn't they say that this Tian Chanzi always had an imposing manner, and that people had to apply in advance to see him?
Where did these people come from? Why did he make an exception to receive them, and even put aside the guests who came to deliver elixir recipes for them?
The boat soon reached the shore. The group followed the boy into a beautiful forest and saw a secluded courtyard in the distance.
At this time, there seemed to be a lot of people gathered in the courtyard. They had the aura of outsiders, which was as obvious as fireflies in the night to Gu Chen's group, who had a keen spiritual sense.
"How is it? Did anyone see where that group of people came from?"
The patriarch of the Devouring Roc Clan asked through his divine sense. He was a little unhappy that Tian Chanzi had put them aside for that group of people.
"This is strange. Logically speaking, it should be a very prominent force that Tian Chanzi made an exception to receive them. But I see that this group of people's races and clothes are not the same. They look like a temporary team." The Invisible Woman touched her chin.
Her judgment was similar to that of the others. Gu Chen operated the Deep Sea Purple Eyes and saw more than the others. He even guessed a little about the orthodoxy that these people cultivated.
Judging from the orthodoxy that this group of people cultivated, they were even more unrelated to each other.
