Chapter 335: Are You Coming After Me?
October 29, 2024
Upon hearing these words, Gu Changkong felt like slapping the other party.
Here we go again, first crying, then throwing a tantrum, and finally threatening suicide.
Gu Changjun smiled slyly at him.
His eyes seemed to carry a hint of mockery.
Gu Changkong took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions.
"It's not impossible for you to take him away, but I have one condition."
"Please tell me, Third Brother."
"He must be willing to go with you." Gu Changkong said.
Gu Changjun was taken aback and turned to look at the middle-aged man behind him.
The man also spoke up, "This condition is not unreasonable, but to ensure fairness, I ask the Third Young Master not to use threats or hints, allowing that person to make their own choice."
"Alright."
Gu Changkong nodded in agreement and took out his phone, "I'll have someone inform him right now."
"There's no need to go through the trouble. He should be in the Alchemy Chamber, right? Let's go together, and you won't need to call and notify him." The middle-aged man said with a forced smile.
"Yes! Yes, yes!"
Gu Changjun also realized and quickly took a step forward to snatch the phone from the man's hand.
If Gu Changkong were to call, wouldn't he be able to give a heads-up in advance? The situation would be unfavorable for him.
Gu Changkong frowned and stepped back.
"Alright, I'll take you there now."
"Good, good."
Gu Changjun's smile widened.
If he could bring that person back, once he grew up, he would inform his father, and it would be a great achievement.
"Let's go."
Gu Changkong said as he walked towards the door.
At this moment, even if he was unwilling, there was nothing he could do. He could only hope that Jiang Cheng would consider their past relationship and not waver.
"Third Brother, why don't we take my flying vehicle? There are two extra seats."
Gu Changjun shouted from behind.
"No need." Gu Changkong replied without turning back.
"But Third Brother..."
Gu Changjun wanted to insist, but the middle-aged man beside him quickly shook his head.
Coming here to take someone was already going too far.
He was also showing off his flying vehicle. If Gu Changkong were in his shoes, he would have slapped him.
After all, even this small flying vehicle could only carry four people and had a speed of just over 300 kilometers per hour, but it was still worth several tens of millions. Whether one could afford it was one thing, but whether one was willing to buy it was another matter.

Inside the Alchemy Chamber, Jiang Cheng sneezed and rubbed his nose.
He was sure that Bing Li hadn't given up and was plotting against him behind his back.
Just you wait, one day I'll get rid of you!
"Peng!"
A muffled sound came from the alchemy furnace.
At the same time, on the panel, the experience bar for Alchemy Skills reached perfection, and his level rose to the Mastery Level.
Jiang Cheng looked at the experience bar.
As expected, it was different from when he had reached Mastery in creating Spirit Nourishing Pills.
The experience bar for Calming Spirit Pills was now about five times longer.
Previously, successfully crafting a single Beginner Tranquilizing Pill would increase the experience bar by 0.16%, but now, it only increased by a little over 0.03%.
If it were an Advanced Tranquilizing Pill, one pill would increase the experience bar by about 0.1%.
With his current skills, using ten portions of herbs, he could successfully create a furnace of Advanced Tranquilizing Pills with a 90% success rate. This meant that to reach the Great Achievement Realm, he would need to craft a hundred furnaces.
Even if a small number of Supreme Calming Spirit Pills were produced, he would still need eighty to ninety furnaces.
"With my current psychic energy, even if I craft ten pills a day, it would take eight to nine days.
Jiang Cheng felt a little helpless.
After all, he was now a Third-Level Mentalist. If he were still at the First Level, the time required would likely be four to five times longer.
Of course, if he wanted to reach Mastery and then advance to Perfection, it would be even more challenging.
Based on his previous experience with the Spirit Nourishing Pill, the experience bar for the Calming Spirit Pill would likely surge by tenfold. Forget about the Beginner Tranquilizing Pill, even the Supreme Tranquilizing Pill would only increase the experience bar by 0.03% per pill, and with ten pills per furnace, that's only 0.3%. It would take over three hundred furnaces to reach Perfection.
Converting this into time, it would still take around a month.
"The road ahead is long..."
Just as Jiang Cheng was about to sigh, a knock sounded at the door.
Interrupted, he immediately used his psychic energy to look outside.
He was a little surprised.
There were several people standing outside, and among them, two were very familiar to him.
Sensing Jiang Cheng's mental energy, Gu Changkong spoke up, "Jiang Cheng, open the door."
Jiang Cheng quickly went to the door and opened it.
It was evident that Gu Changkong and Yang Chun's expressions were not pleasant.
The other two were strangers, and one of them, who seemed not much older than Jiang Cheng, was examining him with great interest.
"Are you Jiang Cheng?"
The next second, Gu Changjun asked.
"Yes, it's me," Jiang Cheng replied.
Jiang Cheng nodded and then looked at Gu Changkong with an inquiring gaze.
"He's my younger brother. You can call him Fifth Young Master," Gu Changkong said, his tone sounding a bit cold.
"Fifth Young Master?" Jiang Cheng felt a little awkward.
What kind of title was this? Someone who didn't know him might think he had time-traveled to ancient times.
"Don't worry about these details," Gu Changjun waved his hand and said with a hearty laugh, "Jiang Cheng, this time, I came here specifically for you. I heard that you're a genius alchemist, and in just one month at the Black Market, you've managed to refine Advanced Tranquilizing Pills. Is that right?"
Jiang Cheng looked at Gu Changkong again.
"Just answer whatever he asks," Gu Changkong said indifferently.
Jiang Cheng nodded.
Even if he was a fool, he could tell that Gu Changkong and his younger brother didn't get along well.
"I can refine Advanced Tranquilizing Pills, but only when using ten portions of herbs. If I use the standard amount, which is two portions, I can't even refine a few Beginner Tranquilizing Pills, let alone Advanced ones."
Upon hearing this, Gu Changkong breathed a sigh of relief.
But this was just the beginning; whether Jiang Cheng could resist the temptation later on was another matter.
"Is that so?"
Gu Changjun smiled meaningfully and walked over to the alchemy furnace.
"Were you refining pills just now?"
"Mhm."
Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"Let me see."
As Gu Changjun spoke, he used his psychic energy to look inside the furnace.
Including Gu Changkong and the other two, they all simultaneously used their psychic energy to inspect the furnace.
The next moment, their pupils dilated in shock, and expressions of joy and surprise alternated on their faces.
"Could it be that Jiang's alchemy skills are already approaching Mastery?" Yang Chun wondered silently.
Inside the furnace, there were already seven Advanced Tranquilizing Pills!
"This guy seems to be a real alchemy prodigy," Gu Changjun's eyebrows lifted slightly, revealing a hint of joy.
Even with ten portions of herbs, it was uncertain if a Fifth or Sixth-Rank Alchemist could refine so many Advanced Tranquilizing Pills.
However, to truly gauge an alchemist's skills, your attraction to the opposite sex for the opposite sex, one must see if they can use the standard amount, which is two portions, to refine Advanced Tranquilizing Pills.
