Chapter 258: I Can’t Show It Off!

As the two elders spoke in a relaxed manner, the terrifying pill thunder in the sky gradually came to an end.

Seeing this, Su Qian and many elders in the inner courtyard came to Gu He's courtyard with joy on their faces.

"Congratulations to Elder Gu He for breaking through and becoming a seventh-grade alchemist!"

"Congratulations to Elder Gu He for successfully refining a seventh-grade pill!"

"Congratulations to Elder Gu He..."

Words of congratulations came from the mouths of the elders in the inner courtyard.

"Gu Mou was also lucky to be able to refine this seventh-grade pill."

In the face of the congratulations of many elders, Gu He humbly replied.

After saying this, a transparent jade bottle appeared in Gu He's hand, and he skillfully put the seventh-grade pill in the medicine cauldron into it.

"Grand Elder, the Strong List Contest should be over!" Gu He turned his eyes to Su Qian and said with emotion: "This pill is the one that Gu made specifically for the reward. I wonder who will be the first on the Strong List this time."

A seventh-grade pill as a reward!

Hearing Gu He's words, the faces of the elders suddenly became a little strange.

The rewards for this Strong List Contest were all prepared by the elders drawing lots. Many elders prepared some second-grade and third-grade pills, or Xuan-level fighting skills. Gu He directly gave the first place a seventh-grade pill, which made these elders feel that their things were not good enough.

"It seems that Elder Gu He is busy refining pills and doesn't know that Zi Yan has won the first place on the Strong List." Although Su Qian's face was still smiling, he felt like bleeding in his heart.

Just when Gu He said that he would take the seventh-grade pill as a reward, Su Qian decisively changed the fifth-grade pill that was originally intended to be awarded to the second on the Strong List to a sixth-grade pill.

"Oh, Zi Yan is really good!" Gu He showed a gratified smile on his face, and turned his eyes to Zi Yan while speaking.

Zi Yan happened to be close to the two of them, so she heard the conversation between Su Qian and Gu He just now clearly. At this moment, looking at the jade bottle in Gu He's hand, Zi Yan opened her mouth wide, and looked like she was about to drool.

"Hehe!"

"Teacher, this pill is for me as a reward!" Zi Yan grinned.

After seeing the power of the pill thunder just now, Zi Yan naturally understood the preciousness of the pill in the jade bottle.

"Well, yes, this pill is indeed for you!" Gu He said casually, not taking this seventh-grade pill seriously at all.

"Thank you, teacher!" Zi Yan smiled happily and reached out to take it.

Looking at Zi Yan's white little hand, Gu He raised his hand and patted it gently.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Wait until the other students come. Then, the teacher and the elders will distribute the rewards together."

"Okay!" Zi Yan, who was a little embarrassed, began to pull her purple braid hard again.

...

Soon, the elders and students of the inner courtyard returned to the central square.

The award ceremony of the Strong List Competition officially began.

"The top 50 on the Strong List, come up in order to receive the rewards!" an elder read out loudly.

"The first on the Strong List, Zi Yan, will be awarded a seventh-grade elixir by Elder Gu He."

Hearing her name, Zi Yan ran happily to Gu He, who was sitting in the elders' seat, and stretched out her white little hand.

Seeing this, Gu He handed the refined seventh-grade elixir to Zi Yan without hesitation.

When the students in the audience saw that Zi Yan's reward was actually a seventh-grade elixir, they were all jealous.

Even the many elders sitting in the elders' seats showed envious eyes.

"The second on the Strong List, Han Yue, will be awarded a sixth-grade elixir by Elder Su Qian." The person in charge continued to read out.

On the field, Han Yue's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard his name and the reward he received.

This time he was really lucky to be rewarded with a sixth-grade elixir!

Excitedly walking to the elders' seat, Han Yue took the sixth-grade elixir from Su Qian, and then his eyes moved to Gu He who was sitting next to Su Qian.

"Haha, Elder Gu He, the previous agreement still counts!" Han Yue laughed like a silver bell.

"Of course it counts!" Gu He nodded gently.

"Elder Gu He, do you have any other agreement with Yue girl?" Hearing the conversation between the two, Su Qian and some elders nearby asked curiously.

"Han Yue wanted to become Gu Mou's disciple like Zi Yan. Gu Mou said at the time that he would accept her as a disciple if she broke through one star within a month." Gu He explained.

Hearing Gu He's words, Hu Gan, the deputy dean of the outer courtyard, suddenly showed a pair of bright eyes, and said to Gu He with some excitement: "Elder Gu, my granddaughter Hu Jia is also quite talented. I wonder if she can be accepted as a disciple of Elder Gu!"

"Elder Gu He, my grandson is born with fire and wood, and is very suitable to inherit your mantle..."

"Elder Gu He, my granddaughter, serve tea, wash clothes and cook..."

After Hu Gan, four or five elders successively said good things to their grandsons or granddaughters, hoping to be accepted as a disciple of Gu He.

Until the end, Gu He did not show anything, but Hu Gan, who spoke first, was full of impatience.

"Enough, I say, can you old guys wait a moment and let Elder Gu He answer my question first!"

As Hu Gan's loud voice came, the elders beside Gu He began to quiet down.

"Several elders, Gu is obsessed with alchemy and may not have much time to teach his disciples. Besides, Gu will accept disciples naturally when the time comes." Seeing that the few people finally stopped arguing, Gu He chuckled and declined everyone. WeNXuEmi.Cc

……

"The third on the strong list, Yan Hao, will be rewarded with a fifth-grade pill by Elder Huo."

"The 38th on the strong list, Liu Qing, will be rewarded with a second-grade pill by Elder Wang."

"The 49th on the strong list, Lin Xiuya, will be rewarded with a first-grade pill by Elder Hao."

The person in charge continued to point at the rankings on the strong list.

"First-grade pill, Elder Hao is too stingy."

"The second to last place, how much better reward do you want."

"Ah, it turns out to be the second to last place, that's fine!"

When the person in charge read out Lin Xiuya's reward, many students couldn't help laughing, but after the laughter, there were several voices of regret.

After all, with Lin Xiuya's strength, if he hadn't been injured by Zi Yan, Han Yue's reward would probably have belonged to Lin Xiuya.

At this moment, Lin Xiuya, who was lying on the stretcher, was clearly awake, but he was carried to the elders' seat with his eyes closed almost the entire time.

"Here, Lin Xiuya, this is your reward!" Elder Hao put a jade bottle on the table with a smile on his face.

Lin Xiuya on the stretcher kept his eyes closed and said nothing. He slightly propped up his body with his left hand, and touched the jade bottle on the stage with his right hand by feeling, and then he lay down again pretending to be dead.
