Chapter 356: Saint Breakthrough Pill!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Within the huge medicinal cauldron, flames were burning fiercely.
The irregular circle formed from the essence of more than a dozen precious spirit herbs was constantly squirming at this moment, and the surface became increasingly round and smooth.
The gazes of Qing Zhu and the others were firmly locked onto the medicinal cauldron.
Not long after, a faint pill fragrance drifted out from within the cauldron.
“What a pure pill fragrance…” a trace of surprise flashed across Elder Gu’s eyes, and he could not help but mutter.
Not far away, Yun Zhiyi’s expression was also filled with surprise. Although he had never seen this so-called Saint Breakthrough Pill, he had stayed in the Eastern Continent for a period of time ten thousand years ago and had some understanding of the so-called pill refinement.
At that time, he was fortunate enough to witness a cultivator on the Eastern Continent who could not be underestimated refining pills. He could still clearly remember that kind of dense pill.
More importantly, before the pill was formed in the cauldron, the medicinal fragrance had already reached a significant level! Yun Zhiyi did not dare to imagine what kind of quality the pill would have once it was formed!
‘This Kid really has a trick up his sleeve!’ Looking at Gu Xi who was immersed in refining pills, Yun Zhiyi could not help but curse in his heart.
Although that was the case, he was more shocked in his heart!
Others might not know, but as Gu Xi’s Master, he was very clear!
Gu Xi’s talent in spirit arrays could already be called monstrous, and his cultivation was already at the top of the younger generation. Now, his alchemy level was also…
He did not dare to imagine how monstrous the disciple he took in on a whim was!
At the same time, the pill fragrance in the air had also become increasingly dense.
Within the medicinal cauldron, a completely jade-green medicinal pill had gradually taken shape.
At a certain moment, the medicinal pill had completely taken shape. The flame within the medicinal cauldron was instantly extinguished. Soon after, a jade-green light pillar shot into the sky!
The light pillar broke through the barrier on the spirit boat and entered the endless darkness above.
The pill fragrance in the air was extremely dense at this moment. A refreshing fragrance spread out. There was a mysterious ripple vaguely present within it.
On the other hand, Gu Xi’s expression hardened. He raised his hand and suddenly slapped the edge of the medicinal cauldron. Immediately, a round medicinal pill rushed out from within. The thing that surprised everyone was that the medicinal pill rushed into the distance as soon as it appeared. It appeared as though it was about to flee.
“Come back!” Gu Xi shouted in a deep voice. A jade bottle had appeared in his hand at some point in time.
As the sound of his voice faded, the figure of the pill that was charging forward suddenly stopped. It immediately flew toward the jade bottle in Gu Xi’s hand uncontrollably. After the pill entered the bottle, Gu Xi sealed the jade bottle with a flip of his hand.
“It’s… done?”
Even Elder Gu, who had always been a steady person, could not help but ask at this moment.
“It was just a fluke.” Gu Xi grinned and took the chance to put away the jade bottle in his hand.
A perfect-grade Saint Breakthrough Pill was enough to help him break through the barrier of the early-stage Saint stage.
Thinking of this, Gu Xi could not wait any longer. He wanted to return to his room and begin his breakthrough.
However, what Qing Zhu said next made him frown.
“This pill… how many spirit stones are you willing to sell it for?”
Qing Zhu folded her arms across her chest and looked at Gu Xi with a completely different gaze.
A person who could refine an eight-grade pill at such an age was definitely a rare existence even in the Central Plains!
No matter how arrogant the people of the Central Plains were, they had to admit defeat!
“I’m not selling it.” Gu Xi gave her answer without even thinking.
What he needed the most right now was this Saint Breakthrough Pill. How could he give it away so easily?
Although Gu Xi’s answer did not go too far beyond Qing Zhu’s expectations, he still could not help but frown, feeling a little displeased in her heart.
In any case, the ingredients for this Saint Breakthrough Pill were all given by her. If she did not have these ingredients, Gu Xi would not be able to refine the pill.
“However, on account of Miss Qing Zhu giving me the medicinal ingredients, I can refine a Saint Breakthrough Pill and give it to you as a form of gratitude.”
Before Qing Zhu could speak, Gu Xi spoke first.
It was just a Saint Breakthrough Pill. As long as the ingredients were sufficient, he could refine it, right? If he accidentally offended this woman just for a pill, he would inevitably get into trouble.
Hearing this, the dissatisfaction on Qing Zhu’s face immediately disappeared. With a wave of her hand, more spirit herbs appeared out of her storage bag.
For a moment, the air was once again filled with the rich smell of spirit herbs.
Looking at the dazzling spiritual medicines in front of her, even Gu Xi, who thought that he was knowledgeable, could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. Her heart was filled with envy.
She’s rich! A real rich person!
Gu Xi secretly ridiculed. If this woman in front of him did not come from Central Plains, Gu Xi would even have had the urge to go up and offer her hospitality.
“The materials in this are enough for you to refine ten Saint Breakthrough Pills. No matter how many Saint Breakthrough Pills you refine, I only want one. The rest is up to you.”
Noticing the envy in Gu Xi’s eyes, Qing Zhu was also quite proud in her heart.
Hearing this, Gu Xi curled his lips in disdain.
The materials that were enough to refine ten Saint Breakthrough Pill meant that he had ten chances, which also meant that Qing Zhu was not at ease with his refining success rate!
“You actually look down on me. After all, I’m the number one alchemist in the Eastern Continent.” Gu Xi muttered a few times in a low voice as he agreed to this matter.
He would not waste such a good opportunity to refine Saint Breakthrough Pills for free!
He did it without hesitation. With a wave of his hand, the spirit herbs in front of him floated into the cauldron under his control.
“There are so many spirit herbs, and this kid still wants to refine them together?” seeing this scene, Elder Gu said in surprise.
If he was not careful, all the spirit herbs would be destroyed!
Qing Zhu also frowned and said indifferently, “If this Kid dares to play tricks, I won’t let him off easily after this.”
Although these spirit herbs were nothing to her, if Gu Xi destroyed everything because of his arrogance, she did not mind giving the latter a taste of his own medicine.
Just as the two of them were talking, the medicinal cauldron suddenly shook violently.
“Not good!” They cried out at the same time.
However, in the next moment, an extremely pure pill fragrance drifted out.
Compared to the pill fragrance from before, this pill fragrance was even denser at this moment. It was not only refreshing to the heart, but it also made one feel as if their internal organs had been cleansed.
“This…”
Not only Elder Gu, even Yun Zhiyi, Song Qingluan, and even Qing Zhu opened their mouths wide as if they had realized something.
