"Greetings, Senior Brother Xu."
Gu Chen cupped his hands in greeting towards the chubby Xu Youde before him.
"Gu Chen! What brings you here today? Where's Elder Zhong?"
Upon seeing Gu Chen's arrival, Xu Youde quickly approached him. Although Gu Chen was only at the Innate Realm, Xu Youde did not show any neglect.
A smile instantly appeared on his face, complementing his plump figure, giving him a resemblance to the laughing Buddha, with his eyes narrowing into slits.
"Master is still concocting pills at Fire Cloud Palace. I was getting a bit restless and decided to go out for a walk."
Seeing Xu Youde's warm welcome, Gu Chen became even more appreciative of having someone influential to rely on.
After all, Xu was a person of the Transcendent Realm, while Gu Chen had just broken through to the Innate. Without his master, it would be difficult to even get a glimpse of such a distinguished figure, let alone be treated with such respect.
"Concocting pills?"
