What is Genius?
Hu Guzhu said that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the number one person in the field of pill alchemy on the Tianlin Continent. His mastery in pill alchemy is indeed profound.
He immediately noticed that the pills brought before and after, although the same kind, were made by different alchemists, with significant differences between them.If at first he was somewhat puzzled by the composition of the pills, the pills he later received allowed him to quickly identify the spiritual herbs used in them.
However, there were a few ingredients he was not so sure about, seemingly materials he was unfamiliar with.From the perspective of pill theory, this pill named "Hongxuan Dan" by Gu Yao may still look a bit immature, but the ingenious use of some spiritual herbs in it made Hu Guzhu's eyes light up.
It turns out that there are such methods of using spiritual herbs in the pill recipe, which can be said to be a novel approach, even making the bottleneck that had always troubled Hu Guzhu's pill alchemy begin to loosen.
Hu Guzhu was delighted when he learned that the creator was a young alchemist who had just entered the academy through the Ascension Conference and was no longer in the academy.
He regretted not being able to sit down with the creator of the pill right away, even if discussing it for ten days and nights would not seem too long.Before a better method was found, Hu Guzhu naturally recommended Lin Fengzhu and Elder Gan to use Hongxuan Dan to detoxify the Illusionary Demon Liquid.
He didn't care how others saw it, carrying pills made by different people of the same kind, he plunged into the pill room and focused on research.The other high-level members of the academy also kept an eye on Danfeng here. Hu Guzhu's words were naturally known to them, and they all inquired about this ancient alchemist. When they got detailed information, they were all shocked. Under their watch, there was such a talented alchemist hidden, and he had been constantly provoked by Danfeng before. If the provocation failed, they would suppress him. Now looking at Danfeng's actions, it was too petty."How does Danfeng do things? They can't even tolerate a new student, actually blocking the source of spiritual herbs, making it impossible for people to make pills.
No wonder the students of Danfeng are not very good at pill alchemy.""See, isn't that the sword cultivator Chi Changye who previously asked Elder Yi to seek the dean's help, living with this ancient alchemist? It's no wonder that Chi Changye refuses to leave, obviously knowing Gu Yao's talent in pill alchemy early on.""Everyone is saying that Gu Yao has a four-spirit root talent, which is hard to progress, but according to the latest news, his cultivation has already reached the peak of the sixth layer of Qi refining. One more step forward and he will be a high-level Qi refining cultivator. Compared to other students with better aptitudes, his cultivation speed is not much inferior.""Maybe he has taken a lot of pills, but with his current pill alchemy skills, as long as he continues to maintain it, building a foundation should not be a problem." Others may be stuck on cultivation resources, but with Gu Yao's pill alchemy skills, wanting as many pills and resources as he wants is not a problem, so how could such a person not be able to build a foundation?Several disciples of Lin Fengzhu gathered around Ling Qi, including the youngest disciple Wei Jinzhi.
How could they not pay attention to such a big event? And their first thought was: "Is there another alchemist behind this Gu Yao? Is this Hongxuan Dan also researched by that person, and Gu Yao just took it to gain fame and attention?"Could it be that an unknown little alchemist solved a problem that even their master couldn't solve? It's simply absurd! And he even sneakily extended his hand into their Danfeng through Jiang Yan, clearly with ulterior motives, just waiting for this day.Everyone was denouncing Gu Yao, who had made Danfeng lose face, as well as Jiang Yan and his Star Moon Commerce behind him. Just then, a cold snort sounded at the door, and the disciples quickly turned their heads and stood up respectfully, calling out, "Master.""Hmph, I didn't expect that my disciples from Danfeng can't accept losing. Stop your petty actions, otherwise you will only make yourself a joke, saying that I, Lin, can't teach disciples, only teaching a bunch of bullies!""Master, we're sorry." One by one, they admitted their mistakes and begged for mercy with trembling hearts. They clearly only wanted to promote the name of Danfeng and teach those who didn't know better a lesson, but they didn't expect it to develop to this extent.Lin Fengzhu swept his gaze around. The disciples who used to satisfy him now displeased him. A new student had outdone all these disciples, including him, the peak master. It would be strange if he felt good: "Instead of messing with those messy things, it's better to focus on improving your pill alchemy and cultivation, and don't make Danfeng a mess.""Master, the disciple is at fault." Ling Qi honestly admitted his mistake, realizing that he was truly wrong, and felt extremely ashamed.After Lin Fengzhu left, these disciples quickly sent out messages, withdrawing all the previous explicit or implicit instructions.The commotion between Danfeng and Star Moon Commerce could not be hidden from the academy and various forces. The news that Gu Yao had developed Hongxuan Dan and successfully saved the comatose students spread, and this result was personally confirmed by Hu Guzhu, making Gu Yao once again the focus of attention among the students.Some people wanted to visit Gu Yao's residence, but were told that Gu Yao and his three companions had left the academy and entered the Quqiu Mountain Range. Therefore, the two students taking care of the spiritual fields could not enter or leave Gu Yao's yard, so those who wanted to connect with Gu Yao had to wait.The most regretful were those who had unhesitatingly abandoned Gu Yao's side and stood with Danfeng when they were suppressing Gu Yao. They wanted to find Gu Yao first, but his figure was nowhere to be seen. Even the Gu Chi shop only had the sisters watching the store, just selling the pills and spiritual talismans in the store, but they couldn't make decisions about other matters. As a result, the goods in the store were sold out, and since Tian Feirong and others were not there, they had to temporarily close the shop.Tao Yue, watching from upstairs, couldn't help but laugh when she saw the Gu Chi shop closed, and at the same time exclaimed, "I really didn't expect the ancient alchemist to come this far. He's so young, it's no wonder some people doubt that there is a master behind him. Genius makes people incredulous."Du Lingdai crossed her arms and said coldly, "They doubt others' abilities because they can't do it themselves. Genius is destined to be looked up to by them, but they can't match it."
Elder Gan of Qianxue Gate also secretly investigated everything about Gu Yao and learned that he entered Tianfu Academy during the Ascension Conference. They deeply regretted that such a talented alchemist was not captured by Qianxue Gate and instead fell into the hands of that uncouth person surnamed Fang. They vaguely remembered seeing a young man beside Fang, but they didn't pay much attention to it at the time.The unconscious cultivator on Dan Peak was awakened. Gu Yao estimated the correct dosage of medicine, and after taking five pills, the illusionary liquid in his body was mostly cleared. As a result, the academy and Qianxue Gate added orders for Hongxuan Pills from the Star Moon Trading Company. With the Hongxuan Pills in hand, they didn't have to worry about the dangers in the Quqiu Mountain Range. Most importantly, with the awakening of the unconscious cultivator, the higher-ups also became aware of what had happened inside.The academy sent people to rescue the students trapped in the mountains. Cai Fengzhu and others couldn't rest for a day and later Elder Yi joined them, constantly urging the academy to send people to the Quqiu Mountain Range. Even though Gu Yao, the genius alchemist, was there, they couldn't rest assured."Elder Yi, I thought that the value of a genius alchemist like Gu Yao might not be lower than Chi Changye. What's important now is to quickly send more people to protect Gu Yao," Cai Fengzhu said, saying one thing but thinking another. According to the information they had obtained, Gu Yao had a conflict with Dan Peak and it was unlikely for him to join them upon returning to the academy. It would be better to absorb him into Wufeng.Wufeng was inclusive and had a large capacity. If Gu Yao came, he would definitely be supported. With Gu Yao, Wufeng could also obtain a large supply of pills and no longer be restricted by Dan Peak, allowing them to develop rapidly."I remember something," the Peak Master of Ling Beast Peak suddenly interjected. "There was a strange incident in the Outer Court before. The residential area in Area A, whether it was the spirit birds flying in the sky or the spirit beasts walking on the ground, they all lingered outside Area A and refused to leave. Could it be that Gu Yao made some special pills specifically targeting spirit beasts and spirit birds? Both of our peaks will contribute to protecting Gu Yao and we also warmly welcome Gu Yao to join our peaks."Under the gaze of the Peak Master of Ling Beast Peak, the Peak Master of Ling Bird Peak quickly nodded in agreement. They should bring him in first and then figure things out. They didn't think much of it before, thinking it was just an accident, but now looking back, it seemed very suspicious.These two peaks had always advanced and retreated together.
