Chapter 238: Joining Jia Nan Academy!
The inner and outer courts of Jia Nan Academy are quite far apart. Even for Hu Qian, a high-ranked Dou Emperor, it took nearly an hour to fly from the outer court to the inner court.
After Hu Qian arrived at the inner court, it wasn't long before a grand hall within the inner court was gathered with several elders of Jia Nan Academy, including the Great Elder, Su Qian.
At that time, an elder who had reached the rank of a ar Dou Emperor asked with skepticism after hearing Hu Qian’s report, “Hu Qian, are you sure about this? Is that person really Gu He, the Alchemy King from the Jia Ma Empire?”
“It should be correct!” Hu Qian said with certainty.
“Did you ask him why he wants to join Jia Nan Academy?” Su Qian, the head of the inner court, also posed his question.
“Well... I fot to ask that!” Hu Qian replied slowly.
Hearing Hu Qian's response, Su Qian pondered for a moment and then said, “In that case, invite him here. Whether we keep him or not will be decided by all the elders together!”
“Alright, I’ll go and bring him here!”
With Su Qian’s suggestion, Hu Qian nodded and then hurried back to the outer court.
...
Ier court, inside a quiet study, Gu He saw Hu Qiaurning and put down his teacup, asking with a light smile, “Dean Hu Qian, how did it go?”
“Mr. Gu He, please e with me to the inner court. The Great Elder and other elders would like to meet you personally!” Hu Qiaured invitingly.
“Alright!”
Nodding lightly, Gu He followed Hu Qian towards a forest behind the outer court.
Soon, Gu He sensed a strange spatial force ahead.
Although such a barrier formed by spatial force could be easily dispelled by Gu He in his current state, he still wao show respect to the academy he nning to join.
“Mr. Gu He, please wait a moment!”
Hu Qian smiled lightly and then walked about ten steps forward in Gu He’s view. He stopped, waved his hand, and shot out an energy beam toward the spa front of him. A strange se then unfolded – the energy, upon reag a certain spot in the seemingly empty space, stirred up ripples like those on water. Rapidly fluctuating, a rge, faint silver gate, about seven to eight zhang high, appeared out of thin air!
Looking at the silver gate that had appeared, Gu He praised, “Worthy of Jia Nan Academy, hiding such profound mysteries.”
“Mr. Gu He ftters us. This is just the most on barrier of the inner court!” Hearing Gu He's praise, Hu Qian's face shoroud smile.
After crossing a very high hill, peared befu He was aremely rge, sunken basin. The shape of this basin was like a giaeorite that had fallen from the sky, creating a massive crater.
Ihe basin, t buildings stood tall. From a high vantage point, one could see figures leaping and dashing across the buildings, appearing like fleas jumping around. Looking forward, the basin was surprisingly vast; even at the limits of one's sight, only t buildings and lush greenery could be seen.
Upon arriving, Hu Qian did not pause a directly toward a grand hall below.
When Gu He ehe hall, he saw a middle-aged man in a bck robe with sharp eyes standing in the ter, surrounded by about twenty other men and women.
Gu He quickly discovered that aside from the bck-robed man who was a Dou Aor, nearly everyone else was at the Dou Emperor level.
Such visible strength already demonstrated why Jia Nan Academy was sidered the most transdent for the Bck er Region.
Under everyone's gaze, Gu He slowly stepped into the hall and greeted the man in bck, "I am Gu He. You must be Elder Su Qian."
Hearing Gu He directly addressing him by name, Su Qian was somewhat surprised but did not show it outwardly, replying, "Indeed, I am."
"Elder Hu Qian told me that Mr. Gu He wishes to join Jia Nan Academy. Is this true?" Su Qian asked.
Hearing Su Qian’s question, Gu He knew he was actually asking why he wao join Jia Nan Academy, so he straightforwardly said, “Yes, I am noable of cog sixth-grade medial pills, and the resources of the Jia Ma Empire's Yu o longer satisfy my needs for spiritual herbs.”
“I see!”
Hearing Gu He’s expnation, Su Qian internally felt a surge of emotion.
Not just Su Qian, but everyone in the hall who heard the versation was extremely excited.
A sixth-grade Alchemy Master! Gu He had actually achieved this level.
It was hy that the highest level of alchemy skill within Jia Nan Academy was only at the fifth grade.
Moreover, acc to the information provided by Jia Nan Academy’s intelligence anization, Gu He was only around thirty years old. Being so young with such achievements, he could potentially aim for being a seventh-grade Alchemy Grandmaster iure.
Thinking this, the elders of Jia Nan Academy looked at Gu He with a gleam in their eyes.
"Elder Su Qian, regarding the matter of voting that you mentioned earlier, I fully support it," suddenly decred a red-haired elder amidst the silence.
“Who would have thought that Fire Elder would be even more excited than us.”
“He has been stuck at the fifth-grade Alchemy Master level for a long time. Having a sixth-grade Alchemy Master to discuss with is indeed a rare opportunity.”
“Tsk tsk, a sixth-grade Alchemy Master, it seems I o prepare more medial ingredients.”
Following Fire Elder, several other elders expressed strong support fu He being an elder of Jia Nan Academy, and almost everyone who had already expressed their opinion was in favor.
Their willio agree so readily stemmed from two reasons:
Firstly, Jia Nan Academy's powerful intelligence anization verified Gu He’s identity as and eveigious in the Jia Ma Empire.
Sedly, many in Jia Nan Academy were stuck at high-level Dou Emperor or the peak of Dou Emperor. With Gu He, a sixth-grade Alchemy Master present, their ces of breaking through to Dou Aor would increase signifitly.
"Haha, it seems that all the elders warmly welr. Gu He’s arrival!" Seeing everyone's attitude, Su Qian showed a warm smile and announced loudly, “In that case, I decre that from today, Mr. Gu He is officially an elder of Jia Nan Academy.”
After the annou, Su Qian walked over to Gu He and said softly, “Elder Gu He, the medial ingredients you need for cog pills will be provided by the academy as a priority, as long as it is within our capability.”
Gu He, smiling, bowed slightly and said, “I thank Elder Su Qian for this.”
