The children of the Gu family went to Gu Yao to question his alchemy. On the one hand, who among the Gu family members who could learn the alchemy of the Gu family was not recognized as a gifted person and was trained by the family. How could Gu Yao, a waste who had always been ignored, climb above them?
Another purpose was of course to show it to the Great Elder and Gu Yan. Not to mention the status of the Great Elder in the family, if he won the favor of the Great Elder, his status in the family would definitely rise. Gu Yan was going to enter the Changxian Gate. In the future, if he came back from the Changxian Gate, he could let them slip something through his fingers, which would be enough for them to rise to prominence.
But when they arrived at the Tian family's territory, they didn't see Gu Yao. Only Chi Changye stood in front of the tent with a sword in his arms, looking at these Gu family members coldly. There were also guards from the Tian family who volunteered to guard in front of the tent.
"Where is Gu Yao? Call him out! Did he see us coming and hide because he was scared? Just an abandoned son of the Gu family dares to show off the name of a pill master!"
No matter how powerful Chi Changye is, can he still attack them in front of the elders of the Gu family? So he mustered up the courage to provoke them.
"You are Gu Yao's adulterer, you can do such a shameless thing with Gu Yao on the birthday of my grandfather, you are really the same kind of people!"
"Shut up! Get out!" Chi Changye's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he opened his lips and scolded.
"You..." The leader who came here has already stepped into the ranks of intermediate alchemists. He has always been admired by the children of the clan and other cultivators. He has never been scolded in person. His face flushed with shame. If it weren't for the guards of the Tian family who were eyeing him covetously, he might have waved his hands and let others attack him.
However, these people who couldn't see Gu Yao were not willing to leave. They didn't realize that there were not only guards of the Tian family, but also cultivators of other forces, looking at them with a hint of mockery.
These self-righteous guys came a step late, so they didn't know that Gu Yao was refining pills in the tent at this moment. Because Chi Changye set up a formation, his breath didn't leak out at first.
Although they were a little skeptical about Gu Yao's alchemy, they would not question him at this time. Whether Gu Yao was really capable or not, they would wait and see if he could produce the elixir.
"Brother, do you think these guys are stupid? They themselves said that Gu Yao was an abandoned son, so why did they come to our Tian family to find the abandoned son of the Gu family?" Tian Feirong said nonchalantly.
Tian Feiyang glanced at his brother. What was so difficult to understand? It was just a group of guys who were self-righteous and thought that the alchemy of the Gu family was the best. They didn't know that the outside world was big. Such people would be disgraced if they ran out.
The strength that Chi Changye showed made him feel very oppressive. As his aunt said, Gu Yan was nothing. The world outside was big, and he had to look further ahead.
Although the breath in the tent did not leak out at first, the moment the pill was made, the alluring fragrance of the pill still floated out, which made the eyes of the monks waiting outside shine, and they all focused on the tent. If it could be materialized, the tent would have been pierced long ago.
"Is this... Huiyuan Pill?" One of the Gu family sniffed and said uncertainly, and looked at each other with the others. The fragrance of the pill came from the tent. Could it be that Gu Yao really refined Huiyuan Pill in it? How is this possible?
The face of the leader of the Gu family turned pale and blue, and not long after, the fragrance of the elixir faded, but a voice came from the tent: "Brother Ye, the elixir is ready." Chi
Changye ignored the various looks outside, turned around and went into the tent with a sword in his arms, and came out with a jade bottle in a few minutes. Before he could give his name, a cultivator ran over excitedly: "It's my elixir, the Huiyuan Pill that Master Gu Yao made for me." Chi
Changye threw the jade bottle to the cultivator and said lightly: "Yes, it's your Huiyuan Pill."
The cultivator hurriedly opened the cork to check, and this sight made him even more excited. He threw a bag of spirit beads to Chi Changye and turned around and ran away, as if he was afraid that they would be snatched away.
Chi Changye shook the bag in his hand. There were more than a thousand spiritual beads in it. It seemed that this man was quite honest, but the ancient elixir was worth a lot of money.
Although the others reacted a little slower, they quickly came to their senses. Did that guy run too fast and think that they didn't notice? The Huiyuan Pills in the jade bottle were all of high and medium quality, without a single low-quality one. This made their eyes look at the tent with enthusiasm.
"Master Gu Yao's alchemy skills are indeed superb. I have never seen an alchemist who can make pills so quickly and with such high quality."
"That's right. The less one shows off, the more hidden one is."
"Master Chi, is Master Gu Yao still accepting orders? I have some spiritual herbs here. Master Chi, take a look..." A cultivator came forward with a flattering expression.
Chi Changye said lightly: "Gu Yao needs to adjust his breathing. If he can wait, he will take it, and there is no guarantee that the pill will be successful."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I can wait and let Master Gu Yao adjust his breathing! I know the rules!" The cultivator shook his head and waved his hands hurriedly, joking. Of course, he had to wait for Master Gu Yao to adjust to the best condition before refining the pill, otherwise it would be a waste of this spiritual herb.
If the pills are not made, it is only my bad luck. No alchemist can guarantee that the furnace will produce pills, not even the master.
Chi Changye took the spiritual herbs from the cultivator and turned to pass them to Gu Yao. In fact, the soul refining technique used by Gu Yao made him look not as tired as others thought, but he did not want to expose too much, so after refining a batch of pills, he took out the spirit gathering plate and began to regulate his breathing and practice. Chi
Changye knew that Gu Yao was in good condition, so he did not say anything. He left the spiritual herbs and left, still guarding outside the tent to prevent anyone from disturbing him.
The people of the Gu family opened their mouths to say something, but they didn't utter a word for a long time. When Gu Yao started to refine the second furnace of elixir and the fragrance of the elixir floated out again, the red-faced Gu family members ran back to their own territory in shame. Even if the other cultivators didn't say anything unpleasant, they seemed to be laughing at them nakedly, and their faces were slapped.
So, on the rest of the journey, this situation often happened, making Gu Yao the most popular person besides Tian Ru, the foundation-building cultivator. Although he was not 100% sure about making elixir, if the materials were refined to waste, Gu Yao would not only not accept the other party's spirit beads, but also use his own elixir or the talisman drawn by Chi Changye to compensate a little, so it can be said that they were all happy.
The most unhappy were the Gu family, who felt that Gu Yao was deliberately showing off to slap the Gu family in the face, but Gu Yao's success rate and the quality of the pills always made them tremble with fear, so no one had ever come forward to compete with Gu Yao in alchemy, for fear of humiliation, and they were filled with hatred when they mentioned him in private.
The Lu family was also in a bad mood. If the Lu family had not broken off the engagement with Gu Yao, then Gu Yao would be the future son-in-law of the Lu family, and they could naturally ask Gu Yao for pills, and others would look up to them. Unfortunately, all this no longer existed.
However, the guards of the Gu family and the monks who depended on the Gu family had mixed feelings. In fact, seeing other monks benefiting, they also wanted to gather their spiritual herbs and go to ask for pills, but they also knew that if they really did so, it would be tantamount to slapping the Gu family's face. This team could not stay any longer. The lives of those guards were in the hands of the Gu family, so they dared not do anything to destroy the city wall. They could only envy others in their hearts.
Under such circumstances, they finally arrived at the location of the Ascension Conference, a city called Shifang City.
The closer they were to Shifang City, the fewer monsters they encountered, and it was no longer a deserted scene. From time to time, they ran into other teams participating in the Ascension Conference, and sometimes they encountered scenes of conflict over a disagreement.
Before entering the city, the leader warned the young masters and young ladies to put down their airs after entering Shifang City. There are many foundation-building cultivators in Shifang City, and the city lord is more likely to be a golden elixir cultivator. Yuanyang Town is not ranked at the top among many cultivation towns, so if he provokes other forces, the family may not be able to protect him, and he may be abandoned for the sake of the family when necessary.
Some young masters and young ladies who have never left the influence of Yuanyang Town are very upset after hearing these warnings. Is this to make them become turtles after entering the city? But when they saw other people's travel carriages and flying magic tools flying in the air, the resentment in their eyes faded a little, and was replaced by envy.
Gu Yao certainly would not stay in the carriage any longer. He followed Chi Changye on foot into the city and looked at the pedestrians around him with curiosity in his eyes: "I heard that Shifang City is full of cultivators and there is not a single mortal. How many cultivators are there?"
Just by looking from a distance, one could tell that the city was very large, not much smaller than a city in the Interstellar Alliance. If it was an ordinary city, Gu Yao would not be too surprised. But when it was full of cultivators, the scene was beyond his imagination. Forgive him for being a cultivator and having too little experience.
Chi Changye's eyes flashed with a smile: "This city is not too big. Xiaoyao will have the opportunity to see a bigger cultivation city in the future."
Xu Chen sneered in his mind: "You are surprised by what you have seen. You are surprised by such a city. Don't come out and embarrass yourself."
Gu Yao turned a deaf ear to Xu Chen's words. He should have little experience, so what? Who doesn't climb up slowly from the Qi Refining Stage?
Gu Yao and Chi Changye naturally followed the Tian family. It was always safer with more people. The other cultivators who were protected by the Tian family left and found a place to live. After the Ascension Conference was over, they would gather with the Tian family and return together. Of course, the Gu family and the Lu family also had their own places to go. Without the various eyes staring at them from time to time, Gu Yao also felt a lot more relaxed.
Although it was not surprising to see a foundation-building cultivator here, with Tian Ru's help, the Tian family found an inn to stay in. Gu Yao and Chi Changye were stuffed into the small courtyard with Tian Ershao. As soon as they settled down, Tian Ershao couldn't wait to knock on their doors and invite them to visit Shifang City together.
Tian Ershao came here not to participate in the Ascension Conference, but to see the prosperity and bustle of Shifang City, so he couldn't stay in the inn. Tian Dashao was worried, so he followed him out.
Gu Yao also had the same intention, so he happily took Chi Changye with him. He knew that the consumption here was high, and it was worth it for him to make money by refining pills and selling pills for others.
