"Th... this... what kind of Alchemy Technique is that? The timing of putting in the Spirit Grass is actually this precise!"
Gu Sheng’s lips curved slightly.
"Spiritual Unity benefited me greatly. As thanks, I’ll display a few exclusive techniques. How much you can comprehend will depend on yourself."
Before his voice fell, his hands formed handprints, and the other nine Pill Furnaces in the Alchemy Room flared up with blazing fire at the same time.
What made people’s eyes pop was that the nine strands of Pill Fire actually left the furnaces and flowed into Gu Sheng’s palms.
"Beichen Fire Control Technique!"
Gu Sheng let out a low shout; with a flick of his finger, the nine pillars of Pill Fire shot into the central Pill Furnace. The temperature inside the furnace abruptly climbed, yet he held it precisely below the critical point.
The speed at which the Spirit Grass was thrown in instantly doubled, and the process of medicinal fusion was so fast it defied belief.
Tantai Xueling witnessed all of this through the Spiritual Link, so shocked she was rendered speechless.
She had never imagined that Alchemy could be so smooth and flowing, as if he wasn’t following steps, but performing an art.
Two hours passed; when an ordinary Alchemist might still be extracting the properties of the last few herbs, Gu Sheng had already completed the extraction of all the Spirit Grass’ medicinal properties.
Within the Pill Furnace, the medicinal liquid was crystal clear, exuding a refreshing fragrance that lifted the spirit.
"Extinguish!"
Gu Sheng suddenly uttered a single word; as his handprints shifted, he unleashed the Beichen Pill God Technique.
An astounding scene appeared—the medicinal properties in the Pill Furnace actually broke out of the furnace, transforming into a stream of light that poured into his body.
Tantai Xueling cried out in shock.
"Medicinal Property External Attraction?! How is this possible!"
Gu Sheng did not answer. Spiritual Energy surged wildly around him, and a faint humming sound came from within his body.
In just a few breaths, the medicinal properties had completed their final refinement.
He pointed out with one finger, sending the purified medicinal properties back into the Pill Furnace; with his other hand he drew Pill Fire from a distance, continuing the final stage of refinement.
"Condense!"
Gu Sheng pressed his palms together; the Pill Furnace trembled violently, and dazzling golden light shone out from the gap in the lid.
Tantai Xueling stared tensely at the Pill Furnace, an urgent tremor surging through the Spiritual Link.
Gu Sheng could feel her anticipation and nervousness, and also the hope buried deep—if he truly succeeded in refining the Xuan Cha Golden Pill, her elder sister would be saved.
A quarter of an hour later, a rich medicinal fragrance filled the entire Alchemy Room, invigorating anyone who inhaled it.
Gu Sheng slowly drew back his power, fine beads of sweat seeping out on his forehead.
He looked at Tantai Xueling and gave a slight nod.
Tantai Xueling immediately dissolved the Spiritual Unity Technique; her face turned pale in an instant.
But she ignored her weakness, stumbling toward the Pill Furnace and lifting the lid with trembling hands.
Three white Elixir Pills, round and jade-like, lay quietly at the bottom of the furnace; on each, nine golden Elixir Patterns were clearly visible.
Even more shocking was that, beyond the nine complete Elixir Patterns, there was another faintly discernible pattern, like a newborn sprout, not yet fully revealed.
"Nine-Revolution Golden Pill... No, this is..."
Tantai Xueling’s voice quivered, her gaze frozen.
"The tenth Elixir Pattern?!"
Gu Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, speaking with a hint of regret.
"Unfortunately, it didn’t fully manifest. It’s still Nine-Revolution, at best a half-Heaven-grade."
Tantai Xueling’s cool, clear eyes fixed on Gu Sheng; her fingertips unconsciously rubbed the hidden patterns on her sleeve.
The three Xuan Cha Golden Pills lay quietly in the jade box, Elixir Patterns flowing across their surfaces. This was a seventh-grade Peak Elixir Pills that even she, the Third Pavilion Master of Linyin Pavilion, found difficult to refine.
"Gu."
She suddenly spoke, her voice tinged with a bit of hesitation.
"Linyin Pavilion owes you one."
