The conversation between Gu Zheng and Master Xin Jing didn't last long.
Master Xin Jing also acquiesced to Gu Zheng's decision.
Since a monk like Master Xin Jing acquiesced to what Gu Zheng was going to do, no one would say anything against Gu Zheng.
The next morning, Ma Jun brought 50 special-grade resources and Master Xin Jing accompanied him to take Ma Xiaoming and the other two away.
After Ma Jun left, Gu Zheng and Master Xin Jing went to the temporary meeting hall of the alliance of the orthodox sects and held a meeting there.
Apart from Xiahou Shan, the other three cultivators of Ethereal Mountain all attended the meeting.
When Tong Tao looked at Gu Zheng, his gaze was unfriendly. As for the other two Immortal Cultivators, they also had the same attitude. However, it was a meeting after all, so they didn't say anything to each other.
After the meeting, the serious atmosphere dispersed and the cultivators gathered in twos and threes to chat.
If it was in the past, Gu Zheng would definitely leave after the meeting because he didn't like such occasions. However, today was different. He wanted to find trouble with those people from Ethereal Mountain.
Coincidentally, just as Gu Zheng was thinking about how to find trouble with them, the opportunity came.
Apart from Xiahou Shan and Tong Tao, the other two cultivators of Ethereal Mountain were called Lin Yucheng and Huang Feilong.
Lin Yucheng was an alchemy master, and alchemists were also divided into different grades. Just like Daoist Xian Yun, who was now an alchemy master in Emei Mountain, whose memories were 'fabricated' by Gu Zheng, his alchemy skills were already one of the best on Earth. However, he was only a first-grade alchemist.
A first-grade alchemy master could only refine elixirs that were suitable for cultivators. Even if he was lucky enough to refine an immortal elixir, it wouldn't be of a very high grade. One of the key reasons for this was that Daoist Xian Yun wasn't an immortal cultivator, but a true high-grade alchemy master. Refining elixirs couldn't be done without the support of immortal energy.
Alchemy Grandmasters were divided into five grades, and Lin Yucheng was already a Fourth Grade Alchemy Grandmaster. His grade could not be said to be low, and he could even refine middle and high grade immortal pills.
Alchemy was the same as crafting. They were both professions that earned a lot of money. However, if one were to compare the two professions, alchemy was still more profitable. After all, the consumption of alchemy was much higher than the consumption of immortal equipment.
The opportunity in Gu Zheng's eyes was Lin Yucheng's business deal, which had yet to be concluded.
The general situation was that an itinerant cultivator named Yu Yangzi on Earth encountered some trouble when he was advancing to the Late-stage of Void Return some time ago, causing a 'turbulent flow of Celestial Core Power' in his body.
After a cultivator successfully advanced to the next level and received the blessings of the energy of heaven and earth, there was a certain chance that they would encounter a mysterious realm. In this special moment of the Mysterious Realm, if one could comprehend something, then it would be something extraordinary! However, if one did not comprehend anything in this Mysterious Realm, there would be a 'turbulent flow of Celestial Core Power'.
The so-called 'turbulent flow of Celestial Core Power' was a kind of Celestial Core Power that could not be absorbed and was extremely difficult to get rid of. This Celestial Core Power was like a living thing that would swim around in the cultivator's body and even collide with it! When it was swimming around in the cultivator's body, the cultivator would not feel any special pain. However, when it collided with the cultivator's body, the pain it brought to the cultivator was extremely unbearable.
Under normal circumstances, the best way to treat the 'turbulent flow of Celestial Core Power' was to take an Immortal Pill like the 'Essence Dissolving Pill'. However, this was a very rare Immortal Pill, and very few Alchemy Grandmasters knew how to refine it. After all, the probability of 'turbulent flow of Celestial Core Power' appearing was not high.
As a Fourth Grade Alchemy Grandmaster, Lin Yucheng happened to be able to refine the 'Essence Dissolving Pill', and Yu Yangzi, who was anxious to get rid of the pain, naturally came to him.
The fee that Lin Yucheng asked Yu Yangzi for was very high. He said that refining the 'Essence Dissolving Pill' required sixteen kinds of Spirit grade resources, and he himself also needed four Spirit grade resources as payment.
Special grade resources were almost equivalent to mid-grade ingredients, while Spirit grade resources were almost equivalent to fine grade ingredients. As a loose cultivator on Earth, let alone twenty Spirit grade resources, Yu Yangzi could not even take out four Spirit grade resources!
While Yu Yangzi was pleading, there were also some people who were speaking up for him. They all wanted Lin Yucheng to treat Yu Yangzi's illness first. As for the resources that Yu Yangzi lacked, he could repay them later.
"I say, everyone, when you were helping Fellow Daoist Yu Yangzi, did you ever think about me? Fellow Daoist Yu Yangzi can only take out three Spirit grade resources, which is far from enough to refine the 'Essence Dissolving Pill'! "
Lin Yucheng bitterly smiled as he glanced at everyone, and then said, "We are all fellow Daoists of the righteous path alliance, so I don't need the original payment. However, Fellow Daoist Yu Yangzi must give me the necessary resources to refine the 'Essence Dissolving Pill'. He can't let me pay for it first, right? There is no such rule in the alchemy profession. "
"Fellow Daoist Lin, you can pay for it first. I will definitely repay you in the future!"
As Yu Yangzi spoke, the muscles on his face twitched, because the 'turbulent flow of Immortal Essence' was rampaging in his body again.
"What are you talking about?!"
Lin Yucheng fiercely glared at Yu Yangzi, "The Hungry Ghost Festival is approaching, who knows if he will still be alive? If you let me pay for it now, who will I ask if you die? "
"Since you also said that who knows if he will still be alive, then how can you be sure that you will still be alive? Resources are also worldly possessions. Since you are not even sure if you can survive, why don't you just help Fellow Daoist Yu Yangzi and let him contribute to the world during the Hungry Ghost Festival? "
Gu Zheng's slightly mocking voice sounded, so everyone's eyes were on him.
Lin Yucheng furrowed his brows and sized up Gu Zheng, saying, "Sect Master Gu is Sect Master Gu, after all. His sharp tongue makes people feel that I am an evil person! There has never been a precedent when I refine pills for others. This is also a rule set by my master! Although I have not been to Sect Master Gu's Extremely Fragrant Small House, I have heard people say that the menu clearly states that no credit is allowed. Don't tell me that this is not a rule? "
Lin Yucheng's voice paused for a moment before a mocking smile appeared on his face. "It's not impossible to fulfill Fellow Daoist Yu Yangzi's wish so that he can contribute to the entire world during the Hungry Ghost Festival! Since Sect Master Gu has such high awareness, then how about you provide the resources needed to refine the 'Origin Conversion Pill' for Fellow Daoist Yu Yangzi? In any case, you are an Immortal Chef, so you can definitely take out these resources! "
"Yes, I think this is quite good. Fellow Daoist Lin will refine pills for free, and Sect Master Gu will help Fellow Daoist Yu Yangzi provide the resources needed to refine pills. This is quite a good thing!" Tong Tao laughed loudly.
"Yes, this is indeed a good thing. I think that with Sect Master Gu's high sense of justice, he won't refuse such a proposal, right?"
The other Immortal cultivator of Ethereal Mountain, Huang Feilong, spoke with an enigmatic smile. After saying this, he did not wait for Gu Zheng to speak and looked at the slightly excited Yu Yangzi.
"Fellow Daoist Yu Yangzi, this is your matter after all. You can't let us worry about it, right? Sect Master Gu did not say anything, so he should be waiting for you to speak! "Huang Feilong said.
"Sect Master Gu, I hope you can help me. I, Yu Yangzi, will definitely repay you generously in the future!"
Yu Yangzi looked at Gu Zheng, his eyes full of pleading.
"You old man, why can't you see the situation?"
Sora Aoi glared at Yu Yangzi. Just as he was about to say something, Gu Zheng shook his head and smiled at him.
After smiling at Sora Aoi, Gu Zheng gave Yu Yangzi a 'calm down' look. Then, his eyes fell on Lin Yucheng.
"Are you really not going to refine the 'Essence Conversion Pill' for Fellow Daoist Yu Yangzi?" Gu Zheng said seriously.
"It's impossible to subvert it. Unless you help Fellow Daoist Yu Yangzi pay for the resources needed to refine the 'Essence Conversion Pill', there is no other way."
Lin Yucheng frowned. He was a little confused as to what Gu Zheng was up to.
"I'll ask you one last time. Are you going to help Fellow Daoist Yu Yangzi refine the 'Essence Conversion Pill'?" Gu Zheng's expression was already impatient.
"Sect Master Gu, are you alright? If someone goes to your Extremely Fragrant Small Hut and asks for credit, will you give him credit? "Tong Tao sneered.
"Did you hear that, big guy? Sect Master Gu is threatening us! "Huang Feilong also shouted.
"Sect Master Gu, are you bullying my Ethereal Mountain? How dare you say such threatening words in front of so many people? Are you going to make a move on me if I don't comply? "Lin Yucheng said with a smile.
The three people from Ethereal Mountain spoke one after another, causing most people to frown and look at Gu Zheng. They did not understand what he was trying to do. Was it really a threat? Of course, a small number of people knew that Gu Zheng would not do such a thing. However, he naturally had his reasons for doing so! Master Xin Jing also understood that Gu Zheng was going to settle scores with Ethereal Mountain.
"Threat? You can take it as a threat! "
Gu Zheng said indifferently before sneering, "Initially, I wanted to give you a chance on account of the big picture and did not want to expose you in front of everyone. However, not only are you unrepentant, you're even playing the blame game!"
Gu Zheng no longer looked at Lin Yucheng who was frowning. Instead, he looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, this person looks sanctimonious but he's actually very cunning! He said that he wouldn't charge Fellow Daoist Yu Yangzi for the refining fee and would only charge the cost. However, the spirit grade resources required to refine the Origin Conversion Pill aren't the so-called sixteen types at all. It only needs eight types! "
"Ah? Only eight types? "
"That can't be right? If he really only needs eight types, isn't that too shady? He owes him a favor and in turn, he's earning 12 types of spirit grade resources from him! "
"I thought that I might earn a little but I didn't expect to earn so much!"
"That shouldn't be the case! In such a situation, personal gains should be put aside! "
"Small gains? The point is that it's not small gains! "
After Gu Zheng's voice landed, the sounds of discussion all around rang out.
"Gu Zheng!"
Lin Yucheng shouted angrily, "Do you have any evidence to say that about me? If you don't have evidence, it's impossible to let this matter go! "
Although he was furious on the surface, Lin Yucheng was extremely anxious in his heart. He only hoped that things would not develop in a direction that he did not want. After all, Gu Zheng was not lying! Now that things had come to this, he had no other choice but to hold on! Could it be that he would admit his mistake now? What a joke! How could he face others in the future?
"This is the evidence. Everyone can take a look."
Gu Zheng's voice paused and then he said the pill formula of the Essence Conversion Pill that the Artifact Spirit had told him.
"Although the pill formula is precious, what I care more is that if everyone needs the Essence Conversion Pill, don't be deceived by a black-hearted alchemist master!"
Gu Zheng looked at Lin Yucheng, and everyone's eyes fell on Lin Yucheng.
Lin Yucheng's heart was covered in cold sweat. What Gu Zheng said was indeed the pill formula of the Essence Conversion Pill.
"You said that this is the pill formula of the Essence Conversion Pill, so this is the pill formula of the Essence Conversion Pill? If you can use the resources on the pill formula to refine the Essence Conversion Pill, then it can prove that it is indeed the pill formula of the Essence Conversion Pill. Otherwise, it is nothing! "Lin Yucheng gritted his teeth and said.
"The Essence Conversion Pill is a very high-level immortal pill. I am not an alchemist master, so I can't refine it," Gu Zheng said with disdain.
"If you are not an alchemist master, how can you be sure that the pill formula you gave is real? Otherwise, you can find someone who can refine the Essence Conversion Pill according to the pill formula. This also proves that your pill formula is real. "
Lin Yucheng smiled, and the breath in his heart was slightly relieved. He did not believe that there was someone in this world who could refine the Essence Conversion Pill.
"Are you stupid? I am not an alchemist master, but you are! If you use the resources you asked for from Yu Yangzi to refine the Essence Conversion Pill in front of everyone, won't that also prove who is lying? "
Gu Zheng looked at the slightly complacent Lin Yucheng as if he was looking at an idiot.
"What's so difficult about this?"
The worst step had finally appeared, but Lin Yucheng still gritted his teeth and endured.
However, since he was going to put on a show, he had to go through with it. His momentum absolutely could not be weak at this time, so Lin Yucheng looked at everyone with an extremely unconvinced expression after being wronged, "Everyone, today Sect Leader Gu forced me to refine the pill in front of everyone. This is really a very excessive thing! However, I can't be wronged for no reason. I will do as he asked and refine the Essence Conversion Pill in front of everyone to prove my innocence! "
Lin Yucheng's voice paused, and then he said, "The refining materials will be provided by me first. If I refine the Essence Conversion Pill, then Sect Leader Gu will not only compensate me with the materials needed to refine the Essence Conversion Pill, but also pay me a reward and an explanation for this slander. Does everyone think that I am going too far?"
When Lin Yucheng asked, he really realized the influence of Emei Sect. After Gu Zheng came to Blood Tide Island, it had reached a new height! Because, other than the people of Ethereal Mountain, there was no one who directly said that it was not excessive.
"It's not excessive!"
The words that Lin Yucheng wanted to hear the most were said by Gu Zheng.
"What if you can't refine it?" Gu Zheng asked with a smile.
"Can't refine it? What a joke! " Lin Yucheng said with his eyes wide open, "If I can't refine it, you naturally don't need to repay me for the resources I paid. As for this matter, I will also have an explanation for it!"
"Okay, let's begin!"
Gu Zheng was still smiling, which made Lin Yucheng's hair stand on end.
Lin Yucheng immediately took out the pill furnace from his Storage Belt, and then began to prepare for the refining of the pill, while everyone watched him. However, by now, most people were communicating with their spirit sense, and very few people would say anything directly. After all, no one wanted to offend others.
"Sect Master, the pill formula you mentioned, is it really the pill formula of Qi Transformation Pill?" Du Wei asked Gu Zheng through voice transmission.
"Of course it is." Gu Zheng said.
"Then why does Lin Yucheng still dare to bet with you?" Du Wei asked again.
"Because he has no other choice except to bet with me! If he doesn't bet with me, it means that he is a fake. If he bet with me, he can choose to fail the refining. "Gu Zheng said.
"Ah? Fail the refining? "Du Wei exclaimed, and then said," My goodness! This person is really willing to lose more than a dozen spirit grade resources just for face! "
"Let him lose more than a dozen spirit grade resources, it can also be considered as a lesson to Ethereal Mountain. Don't think that Emei Sect is easy to bully. They have found the wrong target! "Gu Zheng sneered.
On Gu Zheng's side, when Du Wei transmitted his voice, Jia Si also transmitted his voice to ask. On Lin Yucheng's side, Tong Tao and Huang Feilong also transmitted their voice to ask him what the situation was.
Gu Zheng guessed right, Lin Yucheng was planning to fail the refining because this was the only way he could go. As for taking the initiative to use his resources to refine the pill, this was also something that could not be helped. After all, everyone already knew that he had the resources to refine the Qi Transformation Pill.
"This damn Gu Zheng, this matter can't be let go, I can't take this loss!"
Lin Yucheng transmitted his voice to Tong Tao and Huang Feilong.
"This person is really arrogant. If we were in Untainted Land, I would find a way to deal with him!" Tong Tao said.
"Bear with it first, it is obviously not a good thing to be impulsive on this Blood Tide Island. Everything will wait until Xiahou Shan comes back." Huang Yulong said.
The muscles on Lin Yucheng's face twitched as he threw 16 Spirit grade resources into the pill furnace. Although he was a fourth-grade alchemy master, these resources were not for free. He did not know how many business deals he had done to accumulate these resources.
Glancing at Gu Zheng, he found that Gu Zheng was smiling at him, which made Lin Yucheng hate Gu Zheng even more.
Lin Yucheng used his immortal power to control the medicinal herbs in the pill furnace and slowly refined them. His meticulous appearance made him look like a professional.
The cauldrons used by immortal cultivators were different from those used by mortals. The cauldrons used by mortals all had lids, while the cauldrons used by immortal cultivators had no lids. They looked just like cauldrons.
Through the 'True Life Fire' and immortal power, the resources suspended in the furnace had been turned into medicinal powder, which was then controlled by Lin Yucheng and walked towards the step of condensing the pill.
Condensing the pill was a very important step in the alchemy process. Most people would fail at this step.
In fact, there were some similarities between alchemy and Gu Zheng's alchemy. When several things that would have an incredible effect were fused together, there would be a little strange phenomenon. This was a little test of the laws of heaven and earth for these extraordinary things, just like the tribulation of immortal cultivators.
Lin Yucheng had only condensed ten of the sixteen medicinal powders, but the furnace was already shaking abnormally.
"Ha!"
Lin Yucheng shouted and raised his hand to hit the furnace with a seal. When it calmed down, he quickly finished condensing the eleventh medicinal powder.
The pill, which was made up of eleven different powders, was floating above the flame and spinning. Although it still looked a little rough, it was already emitting an enchanting pill fragrance.
