Take Jing Yan as a disciple?
What a joke!
It was true that after the Alchemy Ceremony ended, Hu Donghe had indeed planned to take Jing Yan as his disciple. After all, at that time, Jing Yan was only a Sixth-level Alchemist, and the gap between him and Hu Donghe, the Great Alchemist King, was substantial.
However, once Jing Yan provided a piece of Alchemy information that allowed Hu Donghe to soon afterward advance further on the Alchemy Dao and refine Perfect Quality Elixirs, the idea of taking Jing Yan as his disciple was never again entertained.
And over the years, especially a while ago in Donglin City, Hu Donghe had many exchanges with Jing Yan on the Alchemy Dao. Just a few months of interaction had made Hu Donghe unable to resist the desire to take Jing Yan as his master.
Hu Donghe was very clear that Jing Yan's ability on the Alchemy Dao was now entirely above his own. To refine Ninth-level Elixirs was as easy for Jing Yan as eating and drinking.
