Silence seemed to spread to every corner on and off the high platform.
Even the sound of breathing was suppressed to the lowest level by everyone.
There was a smile on Gu Xuan's lips and he stared at Li Yuanfang quietly.
Li Yuanfang's forehead began to sweat.
The remaining nine members of the Li family clenched their fists and had beads of sweat on their faces.
Gu Xuan's question, no matter how you answer it, is a big pitfall.
If Gu Xuan directly raises this issue, they can use all kinds of excuses. Even if there are loopholes, they can also accuse Gu Xuan of using forceful words.
However, Gu Xuan used two questions to pave the way twice, and it could even be said that he dug two small holes for them to step into step by step.
In the end, you will find that you are standing in front of a big pit, and it will be very embarrassing whether you jump or not.
Several problems of the Li family can portray Gu Xuan's establishment of the Alchemy Domain and the Alchemist Guild as a despicable act that is "unjustified".
However, the issue of Gu Xuan also created a bad image of the Li family coming to the Dan Realm to denounce him as "unknown" and "unreasonable".
Only then did everyone realize how clever the two questions Gu Xuan asked before were.
First, Dongbi Alchemy Sage was obsessed with alchemy, so in order to refine the elixir, he was indifferent even when the Li family was attacked by powerful men. He finished refining the elixir first, and then repelled the invading enemies.
Second, Dongbi Dansheng has a humble personality and convinces people with his virtue. For enemies who want to kill him, he relies on his own charm to convince and influence them instead of directly killing the enemy.
Would such a Dongbi Alchemy Sage come to make trouble, denounce, challenge Gu Xuan, or even want to kill Gu Xuan after knowing that Gu Xuan established the Alchemy Domain and the Alchemist Guild?
With these skills, it is better to choose to continue to be obsessed with alchemy!
Although no one from the Li family said they wanted to kill Gu Xuan from the beginning to the end, the murderous intention in their eyes could not be concealed.
Finally, Gu Xuan asked his third question.
Dongbi Dansheng, can you?
The answer is ready to come out.
Dongbi Dansheng, no!
This is the biggest pitfall. Obviously everyone knows the answer, and the people of the Li family know it even better, because the image of Dongbi Dansheng who is obsessed with alchemy, benevolent and humble, and even repaying evil with kindness is theirs.
But, unfortunately, they couldn't answer.
Because they know the consequences. Once answered, Gu Xuan's fourth question will knock them down like a violent storm.
Gu Xuan's fourth question must be the question Li Yuanfang raised to Gu Xuan before.
Moreover, this question has been hanging in Gu Xuan's throat for who knows how long, and he is ready to blurt it out at any time.
"Even Alchemy Sage Dongbi will not do this, so as the descendants of Alchemy Sage Dongbi, what qualifications do you have to do this? How dare you do this?
Do you even want to disobey the will of Dongbi Alchemy Saint?"
Of course, there is another answer.
In order to prove that they have a well-known teacher, people from the Li family can answer with the word "hui".
However, the consequences and impact caused by this word are definitely unacceptable to the entire Li family.
From now on, all the good rumors about Dongbi Dansheng will disappear.
The Li family will become the biggest joke in Fentian Continent.
Regardless of whether the answer is "yes" or "no", it is a big pitfall.
If it were someone as eloquent as Gu Xuan, perhaps Gu Xuan's problem could be resolved.
However, Li Yuanfang's ten people do not have this ability.
Therefore, the atmosphere became depressed for a while.
Under the high platform, a group of alchemists who were doubting whether they should join the Alchemist Guild just now were freed from the shackles in their hearts.
"Yes, not even the Alchemy Sage Dongbi will stop Lord Gu Xuan from establishing an Alchemy Domain and the Alchemist Guild, so what's wrong with me joining him?
Moreover, joining it is conducive to the unity of the alchemists, and they can also get guidance from Master Gu Xuan and improve their own alchemy. It can be said to be a hundred benefits without any harm, how can it be wrong?"
A Dan Emperor said firmly.
The other alchemists also echoed and strengthened their confidence in joining.
The eyes of the ten members of the Li family almost burst out with fire.
The tricky questions they had painstakingly researched were simply solved by Gu Xuan.
Finally, after an unknown period of time, Li Yuanfang took a deep breath and made a wise decision not to argue with Gu Xuan on this issue.
"Elixir Emperor Gu Xuan is indeed as eloquent as rumored.
Since you didn't answer my question, I don't think I need to answer your question."
Li Yuanfang exposed this matter, which means that he has admitted failure in the verbal confrontation just now.
However, the Li family came here today not to quarrel with Gu Xuan!
At this point, it is no longer possible to use the banner of Dongbi Dansheng to occupy the moral high ground and to occupy the righteousness of words, so we should simply break up!
Li Yuanfang said sternly: "Looking at Fentian Continent, no matter in the past or now, if anyone is qualified to establish an alchemy domain and establish an alchemist guild, I am the only one in the Li family!
You, Gu Xuan, are just the Alchemy Emperor born in Ye Luzi. You gathered all the alchemists here to refine elixirs for you, just for your own selfish gain!
No matter how eloquent you are, the shabby sects selling elixirs at the inns along the way have clearly revealed your wolfish ambitions as Gu Xuan.
You just want to use the elixirs and all the alchemists to make profits!"
A smile appeared on Gu Xuan's lips, staring at Li Yuanfang as if he were a fool?
"Using elixirs to make profits? Aren't you talking nonsense? Which alchemist here doesn't know this?
Not to mention them, even if you include the fellow Taoists from the various hidden forces below, who doesn’t know this?
There is no such thing as a free lunch. I provide medicinal materials, elixir prescriptions, and even demonstrate elixir methods to answer the confusion of the alchemists, just to keep them here and help me refine elixirs.
Everyone gets what they need, mutual benefit, is there a problem with that?”
"you……"
Li Yuanfang was shaking with anger. He thought he had exposed Gu Xuan's "conspiracy" and Gu Xuan would try his best to cover it up. But unexpectedly, he admitted it directly.
"Shut up! I haven't finished speaking yet."
Gu Xuan rolled his eyes at Li Yuanfang.
“As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
If you don't sell elixirs for profit, do you think that the medicinal materials, medicinal cauldrons, and various rare flames needed to make elixirs are all blown by strong winds?
Don't call me Gu Xuan, don't your Li family refine elixirs for profit?
Then tell me, from what wind did your Li family acquire such a profound heritage, what the Li family eats, drinks and wears, and the ten medicine cauldrons behind you all came from? The northwest wind?"
"Pfft!"
Lu Jingjing covered her mouth and laughed again in the audience.
At this time, even the alchemists laughed.
Although what Gu Xuan said was a little crude, the general direction was definitely correct.
Refining alchemy, in addition to improving the alchemy path, is of course in exchange for money.
How can you make elixirs without money?
Of course you can find medicinal materials yourself, but what about the medicinal cauldron?
You can't make elixirs before you have to learn how to make weapons, right?
Don’t you have to pay for it? Can you exchange it for elixirs?
Therefore, it is really untenable to say that Gu Xuan used elixirs to make profits.
Without benefits, to be honest, the alchemists would not be gathered by Gu Xuan.
The identity of Dan Emperor has no cohesion.
The benefit that the identity of Dan Emperor can bring is cohesion.
The emotions of the ten members of the Li family were on the verge of exploding.
