Gu He had heard some rumors that some top beings on the continent were formed from elixirs, but he didn't know if it was true or not.
Thinking of this, his breathing became rapid. Even though he knew it might displease Chu Yang, he couldn't suppress his impulse. He spread his battle qi wings from behind and flew towards the back mountain.
He wanted to witness with his own eyes the completion of the elixir that could attract nine-colored lightning!
He also wanted to see for himself what a pill that had given birth to sentience looked like.
The back hill, the small courtyard.
Seeing the nine-colored lightning bolts roaring towards him like a raging nine-colored dragon, Chu Yang remained unfazed. He simply raised his hand, and a ray of white light rose up to meet the lightning bolts.
The moment the Nine-Colored Thunderbolts came into contact with the [Heavenly Palace], they shattered like bubbles in water, transforming into countless tiny, colorful arcs of electricity that seeped into the cauldron.
When the last trace of electric arc merged into the medicine cauldron, the already trembling cauldron finally succumbed to the pressure and exploded!
Meanwhile, Gu He, who had just arrived at the back mountain, widened his eyes, eager to see the pill that had attracted the nine-colored lightning! (End of Chapter)
Chapter 308 The Elixir Takes Form! A Stormy Northwest Region!
"call out--"
A streak of light shot out from the mist.
Gu He focused his Dou Qi on his eyes, trying to see clearly what was in the stream of light, but he found that the speed of the stream of light was so fast that even he, a Dou Huang powerhouse, could hardly catch it.
In the courtyard, Chu Yang waved his hand gently, and the momentum of the flowing light stopped instantly, as if it had been imprisoned.
As the light faded, a small, fair-skinned baby was revealed.
The baby looked exactly like a newborn infant, except that its skin was crystal clear, white as jade, and its body was surrounded by a rich medicinal fragrance.
Chu Yang beckoned, and the little baby flew directly in front of him, struggling violently and making all sorts of funny faces at him.
"Behave yourself!" Chu Yang tapped the child's head, flicked a drop of his own blood essence, and let it sink into the little boy's brow.
Immediately afterward, the little child calmed down, and the look in his eyes towards Chu Yang became more affectionate and dependent.
Chu Yang turned to look into the distance, and said with a smile, "Mr. Guhe, since you're here, why don't you come and sit down?"
Gu He, who had been secretly watching from a distance, suddenly looked embarrassed. He flashed into the courtyard, cupped his hands and bowed, saying, "I saw the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning in the medicine hall just now, but I didn't get to see the extraordinary pills that the Venerable One has refined. That's why I disturbed you. I hope the Venerable One will forgive me!"
Chu Yang smiled and said, "It's alright. If it weren't for Mr. Guhe giving me the pill formula, I wouldn't have been able to advance to the eighth-grade alchemist so quickly."
As he spoke, he placed the baby on the stone table.
Guhe stared at her intently, as if she were a stunningly beautiful woman stripped naked, his eyes burning with desire.
"There's no time like the present, Mr. Guhe, so please have me refine a batch of pills here, and I'll help you break through to the seventh rank!"
Upon hearing Chu Yang's words, Gu He's eyes lit up. Without further ado, he quickly took out the medicine cauldron and various medicinal herbs that had been prepared in advance.
The pills he refined were transformation pills; magical beasts could only transform into human form by their own power after breaking through to the seventh rank.
In addition, to transform into human form, one needs the help of Transformation Grass or Transformation Pill.
However, directly consuming unrefined Transformation Herbs will result in the loss of most of the medicinal potency, often leading to accidents during the transformation process of magical beasts.
Take Zi Yan for example. She took a Transformation Grass and turned into a little girl. Unless she breaks through to the Dou Zong level, her appearance will not change no matter how many years pass.
The Transformation Pill allows magical beasts to perfectly transform into human form.
This is a seventh-grade pill, and it's the lowest grade among seventh-grade pills. It's relatively easy to refine, which is why Gu He chose it as the "opportunity" to enter the seventh-grade realm.
For the next half hour, Chu Yang pointed out Gu He's secrets while studying the special features of the "Dan Tong".
Dan Tong's true form is the Longevity Pill. Although it has undergone the baptism of the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning, it is ultimately just a bottom-ranking pill among the eighth grade.
Therefore, Dan Tong's strength is not strong, only barely reaching the Dou Wang level, but his speed is extraordinary, and even ordinary Dou Zong may not be able to catch up with him.
Chu Yang tried to take out some pills for him to take, but Dan Tong acted like an ordinary child taking medicine, frowning and unwilling.
After forcing the little guy to eat a few pills, Chu Yang discovered that even taking seventh-grade pills could only slightly increase the Dan Tong's strength, with a pitifully small effect.
Sitting on the stone table, Dan Tong watched Gu He refining medicine. Especially when he saw Gu He take out the Transformation Grass, his big eyes widened and a trace of saliva even dripped from the corner of his mouth.
Chu Yang raised an eyebrow. "You want to eat that?"
Dan Tong nodded repeatedly. Chu Yang thought for a moment, then took out a medicinal herb and handed it to him. Dan Tong's eyes lit up immediately, and he hugged the herb and began to eat it heartily.
In just a few breaths, he had eaten the entire medicinal herb.
Subsequently, the medicinal fragrance emanating from Dan Tong became even stronger, and his aura became more solid and profound.
If Dan Tong was only a low-level Dou Wang before, he is now comparable to a mid-level Dou Wang!
Chu Yang vaguely understood that the reason why the pills were ineffective for Dan Tong was because the medicinal properties in the pills were too mixed.
The process of taking the medicinal herbs is like further refining Dan Tong's entire being.
The problem is... the medicinal herb that Chu Yang just took out is the main ingredient for refining a seventh-grade pill, and even he doesn't have many of them.
This little guy is quite the big eater!
Although he could turn Dan Tong back into his original form and transform him into a Longevity Pill, Chu Yang did not intend to do so.
The Longevity Pill was nothing more than a pill that extended lifespan; it had absolutely no value to him.
Once he merges with the two ultimate genes and upgrades to the fourth-generation divine body, his lifespan will be incredibly long, so why would he care about a mere hundred years?
Chu Yang wanted to cultivate a Dan Tong (a type of alchemist) and create someone like the patriarch of the Central State Pill Tower.
A moment later, the medicine cauldron in front of Gu He trembled violently, and finally, various strange phenomena appeared above the courtyard. A perfectly round pill slowly rose from the medicine cauldron.
"It's done!"
Gu He was shaken. Although he didn't lose his composure like Fa Ma did when he broke through, he was still moved to tears and his hands trembled.
After years of relentless pursuit, I have finally achieved my goal!
"Thank you, Venerable One!" Gu He bowed deeply to Chu Yang.
Chu Yang waved his hand, took out dozens of jade bottles, and said, "No need to be polite. These are some pills I have recently refined. I think they will be enough to meet the needs of the sect disciples in a short period of time."
Gu He put away the jade bottle and said with a wry smile, "The Venerable One is in seclusion and probably doesn't know that the Yunlan Sect is now far more powerful than it was a month ago."
"Not to mention those who come from afar, the number of disciples alone, including inner and outer sect elders who have passed the assessment, has reached several thousand."
"So these ammunition may not be enough, but please rest assured, Your Excellency, the Medicine Hall has also recruited some disciples, and I will lead them to stabilize the situation!"
Chu Yang frowned. He had thought that Yunlan Sect might grow rapidly, but he didn't expect it to be this fast.
No power can become fat overnight; it requires a gradual process.
Is Yun Yun in such a hurry to expand her sect? Isn't she afraid of taking too big a step?
"In that case, I'll have to trouble Vice Hall Master Gu!"
Chu Yang exchanged a few polite words with Gu He, and after he left, he led Dan Tong to the sect master's main hall.
At this moment, Yun Yun was sitting in the main hall, constantly flipping through various files.
These are the records of all those who join the sect, whether they are disciples, elders, or stewards; Yun Yun personally screens them all.
With Yunshan's example as a warning, and the Soul Palace's infiltration being so pervasive, she didn't want any bad apples to get in and disrupt the peace of the entire Yunlan Sect.
Yun Yun, engrossed in reading the case file, didn't notice anyone's arrival until Chu Yang coughed lightly. She then looked up abruptly, clearly startled.
But he quickly came to his senses, a hint of joy in his eyes, "You...you've emerged from seclusion?"
Chu Yang nodded and said, "Continuing to seclude myself will not yield any results. I need a large number of formulas for eighth-grade and ninth-grade pills, which can only be found in Zhongzhou."
"Moreover, the medicinal herbs stored by the Yunlan Sect are no longer sufficient to support my continued alchemy."
Alchemists are extremely glamorous in public, but at the same time, they are extremely expensive, especially high-level alchemists, who are simply unaffordable for ordinary forces.
Fortunately, once Chu Yang successfully refines a pill, there is no failure rate. Otherwise, with the current resources of the Yunlan Sect, it would be impossible for him to break through to the eighth rank.
The medicinal herbs needed for that Longevity Pill were only enough to barely make up one batch thanks to Gu He taking out some of his private stash.
"So, we're leaving?" Yun Yun put down the file, a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
Instead of answering, Chu Yang asked, "When will Junior Sister emerge from seclusion?"
Yun Yun said helplessly, "That girl broke through to the Dou Huang realm a few days ago, but she refuses to come out of seclusion no matter what..."
Clearly, Nalan Yanran was afraid that Chu Yang and Yun Yun would leave immediately after she came out of seclusion.
Chu Yang couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle before getting straight to the point: "Isn't the Yunlan Sect developing a bit too fast?"
Yun Yun took a deep breath and said, "Yanran has no experience in managing a sect, and Yunlan Sect is in dire need of rebuilding, so I recruited a large number of experts and disciples all at once."
"However, from now on, Yunlan Sect will have stricter recruitment standards and will also control the number of disciples, developing in an orderly manner."
Chu Yang nodded, then looked at the tall stack of files and smiled, saying, "With a sect leader like you, the Yunlan Sect shouldn't have ended up in this state."
Yun Yun paused for a moment, then said, "I learned all of this from my teacher. He wasn't always like that; it was the Soul Palace that changed his personality..."
Chu Yang waved his hand, not wanting to argue about the matter, and his eyes were filled with a white light.
With the Pangu computing power at work, it sifted through all the files in just a few breaths.
Chu Yang then waved his hand and divided the file into two parts, pointing to the smaller one and saying, "These people have a dirty past; they have some problems."
"We can bring in all the rest."
