C23 You've Lost
Old Man Gui's expression suddenly froze, and as his expression changed, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
Gu Xuan's heart also tensed up, he had also placed his bets on the other party, wanting to gamble on him. However, even Gu Xuan did not dare to be sure that he did not have a good understanding of Old Man Gui's personality.
"Brat, are you sure? "I have always kept my word. If you don't concoct pills when the time comes, I will really kill you." After suspiciously sizing up Gu Xuan for a while, Old Man Gui finally said with a bit of bewilderment.
"There's no need. I know better than anyone whether I will concoct pills or not." Gu Xuan squinted his eyes. He knew that his bet this time was right.
"This... I really don't want to take your life. I only met one interesting person after so many years. It's such a pity to kill him, why not … Let's change our bet? " Old Man Gui rubbed his hands together and hesitated.
He looked at Gu Xuan carefully a few times, and was a little unable to make a decision.
However, which alchemist wouldn't they all be in their twenties? Even if they didn't use Earth Fire s, refining pills with them was not something that a teenager could do. With such abilities, wouldn't they all be burnt to ashes?
"What? You don't dare?" Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows and teased.
"Pui!" I don't dare? I just don't want to kill you, that's all. Old Man Gui was provoked by Gu Xuan's words again.
"Alright, then go find the materials to refine the pill. I only have Spirit Level right now, so I can only refine a first rank pill." Gu Xuan said with a smile.
"Of course it's a grade-1 pill. If I were to give you a grade-5, you would be able to forge it. Don't call me big brother, I'll call you grandpa!" Old Man Gui said with dissatisfaction.
What he did not know was that if it was not for the strength restriction, not to mention fifth grade, Gu Xuan could even refine a Seventh Grade pellet.
Old Man Gui walked into the first grade spirit medicine field and carefully picked one.
He also felt that he had fallen into Gu Xuan's trap. If he wasn't 100% sure, who would dare to bet their life in front of King Level Expert?
Although he was not sure exactly why Gu Xuan could become an alchemist at such a young age, he was sure that Gu Xuan could refine pills.
"I've cultivated for a hundred years, but I actually know this kid's Dao. No way, no way, I have to find a pill that has the highest difficulty. If he can't refine it, then I don't need to recognize him as my big brother."
Old Man Gui nodded his head in satisfaction, then with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen spirit medicines were uprooted and thrown into his hands.
"Brat, I won't make things difficult for you. I won't be looking for you to refine pills that contain hundreds of medicinal ingredients. Just refine this divine power pill that only has a dozen or so types of medicinal ingredients." The Old Man Gui licked his old face and said 'magnanimously'.
"Alright, I'll give you the God Power Pill!" Gu Xuan nodded indifferently.
The Old Man Gui's heart skipped a beat again, but he did not believe that Gu Xuan could really concoct it. Although it was only a Tier 1 pill, the difficulty in refining pills and the amount of ingredients required was very famous.
Gu Xuan received the materials, and with a wave of his hand, the Ice Soul Cold Flame appeared in his palm.
"This is the accompanying Beast Fire of the infant Deep Sea Ice Profound Beast. It is enough to refine a first rank pellet." Gu Xuan introduced. Even if he said that it was from a Ice Soul Cold Flame, the latter might not believe him, but it was better to be careful.
"Humph!" "Good luck to you, kid." Although he had refined a type of Beast Fire, a type of Earth Fire, they were all ranked lower, and they were both refined after he became stronger.
Gu Xuan swept a glance over the spirit medicines and closed his eyes. In his mind, he had already analyzed the year and quality of the spirit medicines and other impurities.
A true master alchemist couldn't help but to know how to refine pills. They had to know how to refine pills, and they had to be one with the fire, the elixirs, and even the surroundings while they were refining pills.
Opening his eyes, Gu Xuan's mouth revealed a trace of a smile.
Whoosh!
The Ice Soul Cold Flame was thrown out, and after exploding on the ground, it became a half human tall Pill Cauldron.
"The God Power Pill is said to be the most complicated out of all grade one medicinal pellets. It requires thirteen kinds of grade one medicinal pellets, and if consumed, it will allow the Spirit Level Martial Cultivator to use his physical strength to fight back against the Profound Level Martial Cultivator."
When Gu Xuan introduced the God Power Pill, Old Man Gui couldn't help but blush. Previously, he said the God Power Pill was simple, but it was obvious that he couldn't trick Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan grabbed a stalk of spirit medicine, broke it into three pieces, and threw it into the blazing Pill Cauldron. At the same time, three streams of flames sprang out of the Pill Cauldron, wrapping around the three pieces.
"Snake Luo Grass, Tier 1 spiritual medicine, branches, roots, leaves have different effects. It needs to be smelted with three different temperatures."
"Calming Spirit Flower, a Tier 1 spiritual medicine. When using it, one must remove the flower core, leaving only the petals. Refining a divine power pill requires three petals."
"Thousand Year Old Wu, pinch hard to produce the juice. I don't need it anymore."
...
Gu Xuan's entire set of movements was fluid and smooth, not even in the way an ordinary alchemist would have if they were in a hurry to refine medicine.
He quickly bit the tip of his tongue to come back to his senses. After all, he was a Third Grade alchemist, why did he have the impulse to bow down and worship when he saw that he was concocting a grade-1 pellet?
While the Old Man Gui was still in a daze, Gu Xuan had already completed the refinement of the spirit medicines into More Than Half s.
A few spirit medicines required different temperatures and processes, but Gu Xuan dealt with them in an orderly manner. Furthermore, he only used a tenth of the time of the other person to refine one.
Old Man Gui swallowed his saliva, and looked at the spiritual herbs beside Gu Xuan that he had not refined in time, there was only one Star God Grass left as the main ingredient, when this type of spirit medicine matures, it would produce tens of seeds, which was the main ingredient for the God Power Pill.
"There are too many of these Star God Grass fruits. Let me pick some for you!"
The Old Man Gui shamelessly grabbed the fruits of the Star God Grass and More Than Half.
Gu Xuan laughed, but did not bother about it. He had lost some ingredients, and was only affecting the quality by a little.
The other materials had all been refined, and the next step was to refine the Star God Grass.
Old Man Gui hesitated, but in the end, he still grabbed the entire stalk of Star God Grass and said: "Forget it, I'll give it my all! If I really recognize you as my big brother, wouldn't I be a joke then?"
He was now certain that Gu Xuan was indeed capable of refining pills and had an astonishing talent for them. If he took Gu Xuan as his disciple, he would naturally be very excited, but even if he did not even reach the age of zero, it would still be hard for him to accept Gu Xuan as his big brother.
Moreover, snatching the materials did not go as planned. Although he was being shameless, he would make Gu Xuan feel helpless.
Gu Xuan's hand stopped in midair, glanced at the Old Man Gui, who was brimming with pride, and finally gave up on the idea of continuing to refine the God Power Pill. He controlled the flames and burned the various ingredients to ashes.
"Kid, what's wrong? Did you lose?" In other words, you owe me your life? " The Old Man Gui teased.
"I might owe you my life." Gu Xuan gave a profound smile as he pointed at the flame Pill Cauldron in front of him.
Amongst the Pill Cauldron, although a few ingredients were burnt to ashes, there were still three medicinal liquids left, and they had already been controlled to fuse into a ball.
A medicinal fragrance wafted out from the Flaming Pill Cauldron. Grade one medicinal pill, Pure Body Pill!
"I never said that I must refine a God Power Pill. Although I am unable to refine a God Power Pill, with this many elixirs and pills, I can still refine some of them."
After the pill was formed, Gu Xuan withdrew the flame back into his body and looked at Old Man Gui with a smile.
Although the Old Man Gui was shameless, he still won this test in the end.
