Chapter 73: Continuing Alchemy
Chapter 73: Continuing Alchemy
As the Emperor Pill was on the verge of taking form, the sudden column of light soaring into the sky immediately caught the attention of formidable individuals within the Cloud Mist Sect.
Sensing the pure energy contained in the light column, many high-ranking members of the Cloud Mist Sect were astonished.
Shortly after, figures of several high-ranking members of the Cloud Mist Sect flickered, heading directly towards Gu He's residence.
Outside Gu He's courtyard, many elders and disciples of the Cloud Mist Sect gathered.
With a close look at the column of light rising from the alchemy room, exclamations rang out.
"There's the fragrance of pills in the light column; it seems Senior Gu He is refining pills in the alchemy room."
"Although high-level pills can cause some disturbances, unless it's a seventh-grade pill, there are rarely such phenomena, right? Could it be that Senior Gu He is refining a seventh-grade pill?"
"Impossible. Senior Gu He has only recently broken through to a sixth-grade alchemist. How could he refine a seventh-grade pill?"
"Moreover, I heard that when forming a seventh-grade pill, the commotion is much greater, and there is even pill thunder. This is probably a rare high-grade pill among sixth-grade pills!"
"It's worthy of being Dan King Gu He. He has just reached the level of a sixth-grade alchemist, and he can refine such a high-grade pill."
Some elders and disciples of the Cloud Mist Sect gathered outside Gu He's residence, discussing the column of light rising from the alchemy room.
"Yes! Look at the commotion; the pill is probably about to take form. With such power, it's probably comparable to the legendary seventh-grade pill."
Just at this moment, a graceful figure flew out of the courtyard.
"Senior Gu He is at a critical moment of alchemy. Please, Elders, withdraw and do not disturb Senior Gu He's alchemy."
Yun Yun's figure hovered in the void, her gaze sweeping over all the elders and disciples present, her voice solemn.
Seeing Yun Yun's figure appearing, the elders were slightly stunned.
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Immediately, they respectfully arched their hands towards Yun Yun in the void and, with a hint of regret in their eyes, slowly withdrew to a distance of a kilometer.
Since the pill had already been successfully refined, Yun Yun was no longer worried.
Behind them, Little Doctor Fairy also looked at the door of the alchemy room, and as time passed without their teacher coming out, a puzzled expression appeared on her face. Suddenly, as if she had figured something out, she exclaimed, "Could it be... our teacher is planning to continue refining pills?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran's hearts trembled, looking at the alchemy room with some incredulity.
Inside the alchemy room, after swallowing a pill to restore his Dou Qi, Gu He sat down in meditation.
After a while, when the Dou Qi in his body had almost recovered, he slowly stood up and walked towards the medicine cauldron again.
As the Little Doctor Fairy had thought, Gu He did indeed intend to continue refining pills.
There was still one set of ingredients for the Emperor Pill remaining, and Gu He planned to refine the last Emperor Pill in one go.
This pill was specifically intended for himself.
When he had initially proposed to Yun Yun that he could refine the Emperor Pill for her to help break through the bottleneck, it was ostensibly to assist Yun Yun. However, in reality, he had his own plans.
Now that Yun Yun's Emperor Pill has been successfully refined, he can consider his mission accomplished.
The next Emperor Pill to be refined is naturally intended for his own consumption.
His current cultivation is at the peak of an eight-star Dou Emperor.
If he consumes this Emperor Pill, Gu He can break through to a nine-star Dou Emperor in one go.
Moreover, there's a possibility of reaching the peak of a nine-star Dou Emperor.
Thinking of this, a hint of anticipation appeared in Gu He's eyes.
With the experience from the previous attempt, he will be more adept at the refinement this time.
Looking at the Dragon Soul Cauldron in front of him, Gu He took a deep breath. Opening his mouth, a bunch of purple flames spurted out. With a flick of his fingers, the flame, leaving a beautiful tail, went straight into the Dragon Soul Cauldron, then suddenly erupted.
The raging flames kept surging inside the medicine cauldron, and the rising temperature made the alchemy room gradually feel a bit hot.
In the midst of the soaring flames, Gu He waved his sleeve, and numerous medicinal herbs floated off the table. They then hovered in the air outside the stone platform under the envelope of a layer of Dou Qi, appearing like small luminous spheres emitting a brilliant glow. From below, it looked quite splendid.
With the introduction of various medicinal herbs, the originally dormant purple flames inside the medicine cauldron surged forth like hungry wolves, ruthlessly engulfing everything...
