“I smelled some pill fragrance just now, so I came over to take a look out of curiosity.”
Qing Zhu folded her arms across her chest and sized up Gu Xi. She asked with some doubt, “You know how to refine pills?”
“A little.” Gu Xi thought for a moment and then nodded.
Hearing this, Qing Zhu could not help but feel a little surprised. She smiled brightly and continued, “In that case, you can refine some pills to have some fun.”
Gu Xi was stunned. Clearly, he did not quite understand what she meant.
What did she mean by refining some pills to play with?
As if she could see the doubt in Gu Xi’s heart, Qing Zhu pursed her lips and smiled. “Since we have nothing to do during this period of time, why don’t you show us how to relieve our boredom? Take it as my reward for driving you back to the Eastern Continent.”
“Don’t you agree? Elder Gu?” Her beautiful eyes glanced outside the door as Qing Zhu spoke softly.
“Young Miss is right.” Immediately after, Elder Gu’s somewhat deep voice sounded from outside the door.
Gu Xi could not help but feel astonished. He had chatted with Qing Zhu for such a long time, yet he did not sense that there was anyone else present!
A Great Saint cultivator was indeed terrifying!
“Since Young Miss Qing Zhu has such a request, I naturally won’t refuse.”
Gu Xi chuckled. At the same time, an idea flashed through his mind, and his gaze landed on Qing Zhu again. He continued with some difficulty, “However, although I have the intention to refine the pill, it’s a pity that I’m short of resources. I don’t have the corresponding spirit herbs with me, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to refine it.”
Since he was going to refine it anyway, he might as well frame this woman properly. It just so happened that there were not enough ingredients for the Saint Breakthrough Pill at the moment. With this woman’s background, it was likely that he would gain something.
Hearing this, Qing Zhu looked at Gu Xi with a strange look in her eyes. She had clearly smelled the scent of spiritual medicine just now, so why was he so short of resources?
“There’s no need to worry about the medicinal ingredients. You can refine it. Leave the rest to me.”
After deliberating for a moment, Qing Zhu glared at Gu Xi with some disdain.
She was not a fool. She naturally knew what Gu Xi was thinking.
Gu Xi grinned and quickly cupped his hands toward Qing Zhu.
Under Qing Zhu’s lead, the two of them headed toward the deck. Yun Zhiyi and Song Qingluan had been waiting there for a long time.
As soon as Qing Zhu entered Gu Xi’s room, Yun Zhiyi was already on alert. Especially when Elder Gu revealed his aura, Yun Zhiyi was almost ready to make a move at any time.
Although the five of them were in the same spirit boat, both sides were on alert.
On the deck, Gu Xi took out the pill formula for the Saint Breakthrough Pill. After roughly glancing at it, she handed it to Qing Zhu and smiled, “I wonder if Miss Qing Zhu has these spirit herbs?”
After receiving the pill formula, Qing Zhu also roughly glanced at it. Her long and narrow eyes could not help but slightly narrow as an unnoticeable light flashed in her eyes.
“I have these.”
With a gentle wave of her hand, spirit herbs that emitted a rich medicinal fragrance flew out from her storage bag towards Gu Xi. After which, she casually handed the pill formula to Elder Gu.
A moment later, Elder Gu’s eyes also revealed some surprise.
“Can you refine this Saint Breakthrough Pill?” Elder Gu asked with some suspicion as he handed the pill formula back to Gu Xi.
“We’ll know after we try.” Gu Xi replied ambiguously, but his eyes were fixed on the many spirit herbs floating in front of her.
Purple Heart Devil Soul Flower, Red Alchemy Ginseng, Bone-washing Flower… These were all rare and precious spiritual herbs!
This woman actually took them out in one go! Moreover, judging from her expression, it seemed like she did not care about these things at all. Obviously, she had plentiful resources!
“Then I hope that I’m not incompetent.” Gu Xi licked his lips and waved his hand. A three-legged, two-eared cauldron covered in a large amount of dark green rust appeared in front of him.
This was the thing that he had traded with Lu Haoxuan back then.
When this cauldron appeared, a strange fluctuation spread out.
“What a strange medicinal cauldron.”
Looking at the medicinal cauldron in front of him, Elder Gu could not help but exclaim in surprise. Beside him, Qing Zhu also had a surprised expression.
Although they did not know how to refine pills, they were all very clear in their hearts that the quality of a medicinal cauldron represented the quality of the pills produced.
“When did this kid learn how to refine pills?”
On the other side, Yun Zhiyi felt extremely puzzled.
At first, he even suspected that Gu Xi was just bragging on a whim. However, now that this medicinal cauldron had appeared, he could not help but doubt his own thoughts.
On the other hand, Gu Xi did not notice the changes in their expressions. He focused all his attention on refining the pill.
Under his control, the spirit herbs floating in front of him began to rush into the medicinal cauldron one by one. In just a short moment, all the medicinal herbs had entered the medicinal cauldron.
Immediately after, a cluster of flames burned in the medicinal cauldron.
[Ding! Purple Heart Devil Soul Flower detected!]
[Total impurities: 5247!]
[Ding! Red Alchemy Ginseng detected!]
[Total impurities: 9411!]
[Ding! Bone-washing Flower detected!]
[Total impurities: 4793!]
…
The System reported the names of the spirit herbs one by one.
[Would the host like to extract them?]
“Yes!” Gu Xi gave the order to the System without hesitation.
In the next moment, under the cover of the flames, a mysterious power quietly entered the cauldron and began to extract the spirit herbs inside.
The spirit herbs of various shapes and sizes gradually melted. In just a few breaths, all the spirit herbs in the cauldron had turned into a drop of viscous liquid.
At the same time, a medicinal fragrance that was mixed with all the spirit herbs slowly drifted out.
“He actually refined so many spirit herbs at the same time. This Kid must have some tricks up his sleeve.”
Looking at the scene in front of him, Elder Gu said in a low voice with some surprise.
Qing Zhu, who was at the side, nodded slightly. She could not help but feel some anticipation in her heart.
As the medicinal fragrance in the air became more and more intense, the flames in the cauldron suddenly soared. All the spirit herbs’ essences collided together under Gu Xi’s control, they began to fuse in an extremely rude manner.
If other alchemists saw this scene, they would probably curse Gu Xi for not knowing how to refine pills. Such a rude method would not only cause the essence to be lost, but it would also greatly reduce the chances of forming a pill.
If things went wrong, all the previous efforts would be wasted. There were even quite a number of spirit herbs essences that were too violent, causing the cauldron to explode.
However, Gu Xi did not need to care about these things. To put it bluntly, although his alchemy skills were already unparalleled in the Eastern Continent, he actually did not know anything about alchemy at all.
Anyway, with the System by his side, he did not care what kind of nonsense it was. Even a trashy pill could become a peerless divine pill!
As time gradually passed, the essence in the cauldron had completely fused together. An irregular circle appeared in Gu Xi’s field of vision.
“I smelled some pill fragrance just now, so I came over to take a look out of curiosity.”
Qing Zhu folded her arms across her chest and sized up Gu Xi. She asked with some doubt, “You know how to refine pills?”
