Chapter 245: Abnormal Alchemy Speed!

Seeing Ziyan in this state, Gu He soothed her by touching her little head and said, "Don't cry, with your talent, it won't take long for you to reach the sixth rank!"

"How long is 'not long'?"

Ziyan lifted her head, her big eyes staring earnestly at Gu He.

"It'll take at most a few months!" Gu He pondered and said.

"Ah!"

"A few months, is it that long? Wuu~"

Muttering to herself, Ziyan lowered her head again, and soon, a sobbing sound followed.

Looking at this little one who cries at the drop of a hat, Gu He shook his head, smiling bitterly with resignation: "If you keep crying, you won't get that tasty pill today."

What!

Hearing Gu He's words, Ziyan suddenly lifted her head again, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Seeing the traceless corner of Ziyan's eyes, Gu He thought to himself: "Where did this little one learn to fake cry? If she keeps up this act every day, I might not be able to handle it."

"Hehe, Teacher, where is that tasty pill?"

Showing a row of small, white teeth, Ziyan raised her hands, palms up, towards Gu He.

Faced with this somewhat shameless apprentice, Gu He was helpless and gently patted her small, tender palms, trying to make his expression look a bit more serious.

"The pills will be available after I finish making them!"

After saying this, a huge golden cauldron suddenly appeared in front of Gu He, and then he quickly started throwing various medicinal herbs and spiritual fruits into the cauldron.

After being patted by Gu He, Ziyan reluctantly withdrew her hands and watched Gu He's actions, a triumphant smile appearing on her face.

Looking at the Dragon Soul Cauldron in front of him, a purple flame suddenly appeared in Gu He's hands.

At that moment, Gu He casually placed the jade bottle on the stone platform behind him and then turned around to look at Su Qian standing at the entrance, smiling and saying, "Great Elder, your timing is perfect. I have just used up all the medicinal materials I took last time."

Hearing Gu He greeting Su Qian, Ziyan in the courtyard quickly looked up towards the entrance. Upon seeing the black figure at the door, she instinctively swallowed the chewed spiritual medicine pill in her mouth, and her expression became serious.

However, her little actions went unnoticed at the time.

...

At the entrance of the courtyard, Su Qian's eyes immediately showed deep shock upon hearing Gu He's words.

It was known that the medicinal materials Gu He took last time amounted to one-fifth of the entire inner courtyard's medicinal herb reserve.

In just six days, it had already been depleted. This terrifying speed of alchemy could only be described as monstrous.

"If Elder Gu He needs more medicinal materials, feel free to take them from the medicinal herb store!" At this moment, Su Qian, although smiling, was actually speaking through gritted teeth, feeling uneasy inside.

Pointing at the jade bottles on the stone platform, Gu He smiled at Su Qian and said, "With the Great Elder's words, I feel much more at ease. These are the pills I've produced this time. According to my rules, half belong to me, and the other half to the academy."

What! Su Qian was initially worried about not being able to afford Gu He's expenses, but upon hearing Gu He's words, his heart immediately filled with excitement, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

It's known that engaging an alchemist to make pills usually requires preparing two sets of materials, and sometimes even three or four sets, before an alchemist would agree to help, and it also incurs a favor owed to the alchemist.

But now, Gu He was effectively only taking half of the materials, which meant the academy was getting a great deal.

"Thank you for your hard work, Elder Gu!" After a moment of stun, Su Qian approached and sincerely said to Gu He, "Such frequent alchemy must consume a lot of spiritual energy. Elder Gu should focus on resting."
