Chapter 3181 Contemplation
Thinking for a moment, Feng Jiu asked, "So, I don't need to drink world-forgetting water?"
"There's no need for that." The elderly man splashed some oil with a wave of his hand that was holding a chicken drumstick.
"But I won't be able to stay here for long. I have to leave." Feng Jiu said.
"It doesn't matter; as long as you get started, you are free to leave whenever you want." The elderly man replied, his eyes narrowing as he smiled.
"Can you protect me in here?" Feng Jiu asked.
"Anyone who sees you will treat you courteously and make concessions to you if you become my disciple." The elderly man stated.
When Feng Jiu heard this, she said, "Several of my subordinates are nearby. I need to go get them first."
"That's fine." While looking at Feng Jiu, the elderly man asked, "So, are you prepared to acknowledge me as your Master?"
"You haven't revealed your identity to me, have you?" Feng Jiu turned to face him.
"Ha ha."

He smiled at her as he stroked his beard. "I'm the Pill King!" He looked a little embarrassed. "Don't worry, I'm not the pervert you mentioned. It's just that I recently realised that, despite my abilities, I have neither a successor nor people to serve me at my side. However, I did not anticipate that my subordinates would misinterpret me."
He said while looking at Feng Jiu, "Where are your subordinates? Go pick them up."
"I'll go there myself. They would not have come otherwise." As she looked at the elderly man, Feng Jiu patted her red robe and brushed the grass shavings from it.
"Alright, then! I'm free, anyway, I'll accompany you." He set down his belongings, stood up, and wiped his hands with a cloth before exclaiming, "Let's go!"
So, Feng Jiu took the old man to where Du Fan and some other people were. She contemplated that the elderly man's strength was unfathomable and that his alchemy accomplishments were also extraordinary. Having now set foot into this place, it was impossible for her to leave, so it would be best to acknowledge him as her Master and learn alchemy from him while allowing Du Fan and the others to rest and recover here.
What's more, the world-forgetting water, Immortal Wine, as well as the seventh-grade medicine in this place inspired her to learn.
She rarely met someone whose strength and alchemy skills were superior to hers. In her mind, leaving this place would be like throwing away an opportunity.
Cloud Devouring Beast kept watch over Du Fan and the others as they rested in the forest. It shrank and became almost inconspicuous. However, some ferocious beasts around them fled as soon as they became aware of its presence and refused to approach.
"Why hasn't Master come back yet? She's been gone for a while. Could she meet some danger?" Luo Yu said with some worry in his voice.
"Even if there is a danger, Master should be able to solve it with her strength. There's nothing to worry about." Du Fan said, looking ahead, anticipating her return.
Cloud Devouring Beast was the first to notice Feng Jiu's return while it was patrolling around. When it saw its master come back with an elderly man, it became vigilant right away.
"Master!"
Several people stood up and greeted her when they saw her. Some of them were surprised that she was being followed by an unkempt elderly man.
Pill King, who was walking behind Feng Jiu, observed these few people before returning his attention to Feng Jiu.
She took a look at them and then said, "The next valley over is called Pill King Valley. Come with me!"
