Chapter 73: Continuing Alchemy
Just as the Emperor Pill was about to take form, the sudden column of light that soared into the sky almost immediately attracted the attention of some strong individuals within the Cloud Mist Sect.
Feeling the pure energy contained in the column of light, 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.
Soon, 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.
As time passed, the column of light that shot into the sky gradually became lighter, but the rich fragrance emitted from it became even more intense.
The column of light became increasingly faint, and in the end, it completely turned into scattered light points, slowly dissipating.
As the column of light completely dissipated, a thumb-sized light sphere appeared under the gaze of many.
As soon as the light sphere appeared, its brilliance suddenly increased. It moved as if it wanted to escape from the sky.
However, just as its radiance increased, a cold snort suddenly sounded from the room below, followed by a sudden surge of suction!
Under the fierce suction, the light sphere became unsteady. After a moment of stalemate, it finally flashed back and disappeared into the alchemy room.
Watching the pill disappear, a touch of joy flashed across Yun Yun's face. Then, her figure moved, slowly landing in the courtyard.
As the pill was taken away, the lingering fragrance of the pill gradually dissipated. For a moment, everyone could only shake their heads in a daze.
"Teacher, did Senior Gu He succeed?"
When Yun Yun landed, Nalan Yanran immediately rushed forward, her little face showing excitement.
"Yes."
Yun Yun's face also carried a hint of joy as she nodded and said, "It looks like he has succeeded."
Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran's eyes showed a trace of admiration as she looked towards the direction of the alchemy room. "Elder Gu He is really amazing; he can refine such advanced pills."
In Yun Yun's mind flashed the confidence that Gu He had shown before entering the alchemy room, and her eyes sparkled with a hint of brilliance.
Senior Gu He had only recently advanced to a sixth-grade alchemist, and he was able to refine a sixth-grade superior pill. He truly lived up to being the alchemy genius of the Gama Empire.
Thinking about the effects of the Emperor Pill, Yun Yun couldn't help but feel some anticipation. This Emperor Pill could elevate her cultivation further, breaking through to a four-star Battle Emperor.
With these thoughts, Yun Yun gazed at the door of the alchemy room, silently waiting for Gu He to come out.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was still no sign of Gu He coming out.
"Teacher, what's going on? Didn't Senior Gu He already successfully refine the pill? Why hasn't he come out yet?" Nalan Yanran, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Yun Yun's beautiful eyes also showed a puzzled expression, and she explained reluctantly, "Senior Gu He is probably still recovering. Let's wait here."
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...
