Chapter 113: Pill King Gu He
Chapter 113: Pill King Gu He
Half a day had passed since Su Yun entered the quiet room.
The three of them waited silently outside.
At this moment, Miteer Tengshan suddenly walked over.
"Old Jia, Princess Yao Ye."
After greeting each other, Miteer Tengshan spoke to Hai Bodong.
"Old Hai, Pill King Gu He is here to visit Master Zhang."
Hearing this, Hai Bodong's pale eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Tell him that the young master is currently refining pills and has no time to see him."
Miteer Tengshan retreated.
After a while, Miteer Tengshan returned, looking helpless.
"He refuses to leave and insists on coming to have a look."
Hai Bodong hesitated.
At this moment, Jia Xingtian, who was standing by, spoke up.
"Let him come, old ice man. He's not a narrow-minded person; his character is quite decent. Besides, with both of us here, he won't be able to cause any trouble."
Hai Bodong pondered for a moment and then nodded to Miteer Tengshan.
Even though he was exceptional in alchemy, he was ultimately just a Dou Wang.
Jia Xingtian needed this Zong Breakthrough Pill; if any issues arose, he would definitely intervene.
Miteer Tengshan received the instruction and brought Gu He over.
A middle-aged man with considerable poise appeared before everyone.
"Old Hai, Old Jia, Princess Yao Ye."
The three greeted him politely.
After all, Gu He was a genuine sixth-tier alchemist, with unimaginable influence.
Gu He looked at the quiet room and asked.
"Do you know what pill Master Zhang is refining?"
"The Zong Breakthrough Pill," Hai Bodong said blandly.
Hearing this, Gu He's face showed a flash of shock, and he exclaimed.
"The Zong Breakthrough Pill!"
A hint of amusement flickered in Hai Bodong's eyes as he chuckled.
"How confident are you in refining this Zong Breakthrough Pill?"
Gu He gave a bitter smile and candidly replied.
"Old Hai, you must be joking. The Zong Breakthrough Pill is a peak sixth-tier pill. I haven't succeeded in refining even one."
Hearing this, the others present smiled.
They had some understanding of Gu He's alchemy skills.
If he were confident in refining the Zong Breakthrough Pill, Yunshan would have waited for him to refine it before entering seclusion to break through to the Dou Zong level.
Gu He was curious.
"How many sets of ingredients has Master Zhang prepared for refining the Zong Breakthrough Pill?"
Jia Xingtian glanced at Gu He and said.
"Five sets."
Hearing this, Gu He was once again shocked.
"Five sets?"
Even if he had twenty sets of ingredients, he might not be able to refine the Zong Breakthrough Pill...
Gu He stared intently at the quiet room where Su Yun was.
Moreover, it was said that this person was extremely young, making Gu He instinctively skeptical.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old youth with such high alchemy skills was hard to believe.
Inside the quiet room, Su Yun was intently focused on the alchemy cauldron in front of him.
His soul power had been enhanced to the perfect realm thanks to the Seven Illusionary Green Spirit Saliva, which was quite helpful in alchemy, slightly increasing his success rate. However, he still couldn't be sure of success on the first try.
Another half day passed, and Su Yun had finished refining all the ingredients and began forming the pill.
The medicinal liquid gradually condensed into a mass, but at this moment, the green flame flared slightly, his soul power became unfocused, and the liquid was burned to ashes.
Su Yun smiled bitterly at the failure.
However, he was mentally prepared for this and was not discouraged. In fact, he hadn't expected to succeed on the first try.
Su Yun adjusted his mindset, swallowed a pill, and began restoring his Dou Qi.
Once his Dou Qi was fully restored, the Green Lotus Core Flame reappeared in Su Yun's palm, channeling its terrifying heat into the alchemy cauldron.
Three days passed.
A hint of impatience flickered across Yao Ye's brow.
Jia Xingtian glanced at Yao Ye and spoke in a calm voice.
"Ye'er."
Yao Ye's expression tightened, and the impatience disappeared, replaced by a straight posture.
Jia Xingtian nodded in satisfaction.
As a royal heir, it's fine to have occasional flaws, as long as they are corrected.
At the same time, a slight tremor emanated from the quiet room where Su Yun was, causing the entire room to shake slightly.
The expressions of those guarding outside the quiet room grew tense.
This wave of energy!
An extremely concentrated energy was gathering inside the quiet room and quickly taking shape.
It's about to succeed!
Jia Xingtian's face flashed with ecstatic joy, his fists clenched.
Gu He's eyes showed a hint of astonishment.
As a sixth-tier alchemist, he knew that such energy waves signified a successful refinement!
Everyone stared intently at the quiet room.
The energy waves grew stronger and stronger, until a beam of energy broke through the ceiling of the quiet room and shot towards the sky.
Seeing this phenomenon, everyone was slightly shocked.
The pill-forming phenomenon of the Zong Breakthrough Pill was this grand!
Suddenly, Su Yun's voice came from inside.
"Attention, the Zong Breakthrough Pill is formed, but my Dou Qi is insufficient. Stop it!"
Upon hearing this, everyone outside became alert. A white light ball shot out from the hole in the ceiling, trying to escape.
They quickly surrounded the white light ball, and Jia Xingtian dashed forward, grabbing the white light ball with a powerful hand.
The white light ball struggled in Jia Xingtian's hand for a while before finally settling.
Su Yun walked out of the quiet room, seeing the Zong Breakthrough Pill in Jia Xingtian's hand, he breathed a sigh of relief.
With his current cultivation level, refining a peak sixth-tier pill was still quite challenging.
After three continuous days of refinement, his soul power was also greatly depleted.
Su Yun pressed his hand against his head, feeling a bit fatigued.
At this moment, a delicate hand wrapped around Su Yun's waist, while another hand gently pressed on his temples.
Xian'er?
No, that's not right!
A fragrant scent filled the air as Su Yun looked up in surprise to see Yao Ye's exquisite face.
A blush appeared on Yao Ye's spirited cheeks as she helped Su Yun into the quiet room, her red lips slightly parted.
"Let me help you in to rest."
Su Yun frowned slightly, but he was too weak to refuse and allowed Yao Ye to support him into the quiet room.
Once Su Yun was seated, Yao Ye took out a pill from her storage ring.
"Although it may seem insignificant to you, it should still help a bit. This pill is a fourth-tier pill that can clear the mind."
Su Yun hesitated for a moment but accepted it and swallowed it.
At this time, the others entered from outside.
Seeing the two so close and Yao Ye's hand on Su Yun's waist, Jia Xingtian's face showed an almost imperceptible smile.
However, it seemed that Master Zhang was about to leave.
Thinking of this, Jia Xingtian sighed.
His previous plans would likely be impossible to implement.
But he didn't stop Yao Ye's actions. Perhaps one day, Su Yun would return.
Seeing everyone enter, Yao Ye quickly withdrew her hand from Su Yun's waist.
Gu He's face showed a meaningful smile.
Hai Bodong had a strange expression.
Su Yun cupped his hands towards everyone.
"Everyone, please allow me to rest for a while. If there are any matters, let's discuss them tomorrow."
Everyone understood and left one by one.
