Hearing this, Grandmaster Ge stepped back a few steps in a somewhat dejected manner.
"It seems I've lost."
Speaking of this, Grandmaster Ge shook his head with an ugly expression.
He was, after all, a dignified 4-Pinnacle Alchemist.
Yet, a 4-Pinnacle Alchemist like him knew less than a young boy.
"Stop dawdling, where is that boy? Ge Dan, I'm telling you, your face isn't important at all; what's important is to win over this boy."
The white-haired Elder pulled Ge Dan, speaking repeatedly.
Hearing this, Ge Dan, who was beside him, quickly looked at Qin Xuan.
He pointed at Qin Xuan.
"Senior Brother, this is that young boy."
Hearing this, the Elder immediately reached out from his Five-Rank Alchemist robe.
"This old man is Jiang Dan of Dan Peak. I've heard about the matter between my Junior Brother and you, Young Master. Our people were ignorant and trespassed on Lei Yun Peak. Please, Young Master, do not blame them."
Saying this, Jiang Dan cupped his hands towards Qin Xuan again.
"Since it's the first time, it's fine. Lei Yun Peak was ownerless before, but from now on, this place will be occupied."
Saying this, Qin Xuan cupped his hands, about to see them off.
"Wait."
Jiang Dan naturally saw Qin Xuan's intention to see them off.
He hurriedly stepped forward.
"My Junior Brother's matter is Dan Peak's matter. Since he was impolite, it wouldn't be right if he didn't apologize."
"I have some Medicinal Pills here; please accept them, Young Master."
Saying this, Jiang Dan smilingly took out a porcelain bottle and placed it in Qin Xuan's hand for him to accept.
Looking at the porcelain bottle, Qin Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly and waved his hand.
"No need, I can also refine Medicinal Pills. You don't need these things."
Hearing Qin Xuan refuse him, Jiang Dan not only wasn't angry but was instead filled with joy.
"He can refine Medicinal Pills?"
"Good, very good!"
Jiang Dan rubbed his hands excitedly as he spoke.
"Young Master, I'll be frank with you. Although Lei Yun Peak is one of the Twelve Main Peaks, as you can see, it's extremely desolate here. I wonder if Young Master is willing to join our Dan Peak?"
"As long as Young Master is willing to join our Dan Peak, Young Master can use all sorts of resources from our Dan Peak."
Saying this, Jiang Dan cast a hopeful gaze towards Qin Xuan.
Hearing this, Qin Xuan frowned slightly.
Join Dan Peak?
Why had he never heard of this Dan Peak?
There was no Dan Peak among the Twelve Main Peaks.
Perhaps sensing Qin Xuan's confusion, Jiang Dan immediately explained.
"There is naturally no Dan Peak among the Twelve Main Peaks. Our Dan Peak is one of the one hundred and eight minor peaks. Although it's just a minor peak, its status is no lower than those Main Peaks!"
Jiang Dan said, pointing to the Alchemist robe on his body.
"Because no matter which peak wants to Cultivate, they need us to help them refine Medicinal Pills."
"As long as you are willing to come to Dan Peak, the best Pill Refining Room on Dan Peak will be at your disposal."
Qin Xuan then remembered what Qing Yunzi had told him before.
Among the one hundred and eight minor peaks, besides most of them being used by Outer Sect Disciples for Cultivation, there were also a few that had other uses.
Some specialized in Alchemy, some in talismans, and some in Formations. In short, their specialties varied.
However, there was no doubt that Alchemists held the highest status among these people.
No matter where, the status of an Alchemist was always the highest.
The status of this Dan Peak within the Sect must not be low.
Joining this Dan Peak also seemed like a good idea.
However, he came here to receive the Legacy, and if he joined Dan Peak, he would lose that opportunity.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan shook his head.
"Sorry, I appreciate your kindness, but since I have already become the personal Disciple and acting Peak Master of Lei Yun Peak, I naturally cannot leave here."
Seeing Qin Xuan refuse, the Elder beside him stroked his beard and hurriedly stepped forward, shaking his head.
"Young Master, as long as you are willing to join Dan Peak, from now on, we can find ways for you to use all sorts of resources on Dan Peak."
Jiang Dan said, looking anxious.
Ge Dan couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded watching this scene.
Although this young boy in front of him was talented and had a rich understanding of the Dao of Alchemy.
But was it necessary to try and win him over this much?
Just as he was about to speak, his Senior Brother glared at him fiercely.
Ge Dan swallowed the words he was about to say.
"Since Young Master is unwilling to join Dan Peak, how about becoming a Named Disciple of our Dan Peak?"
"This way, Young Master can retain the position of personal Disciple of Lei Yun Peak, and also freely enter and exit Dan Peak. My Junior Brother Ge and the other Elders can also teach Young Master the Dao of Alchemy."
Seeing Qin Xuan hesitate, Jiang Dan quickly spoke.
"And medicinal ingredients! Young Master, there's a huge medicinal garden on Dan Peak, filled with all sorts of medicinal ingredients. As long as Young Master is willing to become a Named Disciple, you can use these medicinal ingredients freely, and the price is only half!"
Hearing this, Qin Xuan was indeed a little tempted.
As an Alchemist, he naturally knew how important medicinal ingredients were.
Now that there were such cheap medicinal ingredients, of course he wanted them.
Moreover, he would only be a Named Disciple, so he wouldn't have to do anything at all.
The benefit of being a Named Disciple was that he could go if he wanted to, and not go if he didn't want to.
It seemed very cost-effective no matter how he calculated it.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan nodded.
"That's fine then, but I need quite a lot of medicinal ingredients."
Hearing Qin Xuan agree, Jiang Dan nodded excitedly again and again.
"Easy to say, easy to say, these are all simple."
After speaking, Jiang Dan took out a token and handed it to Qin Xuan.
"This is my token. With this token, you can freely enter and exit Dan Peak without restriction."
Jiang Dan also tried to force the Medicinal Pills in his hand into Qin Xuan's, but Qin Xuan refused.
After a long conversation, Jiang Dan was finally pulled away by Ge Dan.
Looking at the departing Jiang Dan and Ge Dan, Qin Xuan stroked his chin, playing with the token.
"Dan Peak, interesting. I'll go check it out tomorrow."
While Qin Xuan was pondering, after sending the others away, Ge Dan looked at his Senior Brother with some dissatisfaction.
"Senior Brother, although this boy is talented, he clearly doesn't want to join our Dan Peak. Is it necessary to try and win him over so much?"
Hearing this, the smile on Jiang Dan's face gradually faded, and he couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.
"Junior Brother, I don't want to humble myself and try to win him over like this either, but do you still remember that agreement?"
Seeing his Junior Brother's blank expression, Jiang Dan couldn't help but get angry.
"Did you forget the competition nine years ago? We were utterly defeated, and then we made a ten-year agreement with him?"
Hearing this, Ge Dan immediately reacted.
"You want this boy to fulfill that ten-year agreement?"
Hearing this, Jiang Dan nodded.
"You've seen how many Disciples we've taken in these ten years, and what the results are. Profound Dragon Dao is just a small corner, but that guy even takes Disciples from outside Profound Dragon."
"The ones we've cultivated probably won't be of much use."
Hearing this, Ge Dan was speechless for a moment.
"Back then, Master lost to him and had to hand over the Legacy of our lineage to theirs. I can't forget that humiliation even now. We've already lost; this time, we must win back through our Disciples!"
