Zhao Yuande and the rest followed a grey-clothed disciple to the top of the mountain.
There were already sect deacons waiting at the top of the mountain, dividing the disciples into four categories: outer sect disciples, inner sect disciples, elite disciples, and personal disciples.
They were brought to their respective mountain peaks by specialized disciples. Zhao Yuande, Li Rushuang, and the rest were brought to their respective mountain peaks by specialized disciples.
Before parting, Li Rushuang cast a reassuring glance at Zhao Yuande. Zhao Yuande silently nodded, and the two of them went to their respective destinations.
The one who brought Zhao Yuande to find Elder Gu Tiande was a young man in his twenties. He looked steady and capable, and he was very amiable when he spoke, making people unconsciously have a good impression of him.
This person was called Song Zhende, an inner sect elite disciple. Because of his outstanding performance, he was entrusted with an important task by the inner sect elder, being in charge of a portion of the inner sect's affairs.
Although Zhao Yuande had seen this person in his previous life, he didn't know him very well. He secretly formed hand seals and pointed at him.
"Song Zhende, Fire Cloud Sect's inner sect steward, late-stage Blood Sea Divine Embryo, Sword Spirit Constitution … Low-grade ingredients, no matching recipes."
So it was the Sword Spirit Constitution. Although his cultivation speed was average, his combat strength was a bit stronger than normal demons.
The Sword Spirit Constitution was a special constitution similar to the Elemental Spirit Constitution and the Water Spirit Constitution. Although it was a bit stronger than normal people, that was all.
"Junior Brother Zhao, I heard you activated the Fire Cloud Stele? I wonder if the Fire Cloud Stele is like the legends, containing a powerful cultivation method? " Song Zhende was very cordial towards Zhao Yuande along the way. Elder Gu was in charge of the pill room, and becoming Elder Gu's disciple was also half the owner of the pill room.
Offending this kind of person was deliberately looking for trouble.
"Hehe! Senior Brother Song, it's not as miraculous as the legends say, but I can't say what it is exactly. Elder Luo already gave me a gag order, so Senior Brother Song must understand. "How could Zhao Yuande tell him the truth? He could only beat around the bush.
"I know, I know! I was just asking casually. " Song Zhende hurriedly waved his hand and continued with a sigh, "I've tried to comprehend this Fire Cloud Stele a few times. Even spirit energy couldn't penetrate it. It's simply a block of wood. I didn't expect there to be a secret inside."
"We can also comprehend the Fire Cloud Stele?" In his previous life, Zhao Yuande was muddle-headed in the Fire Cloud Sect, so he didn't understand these things at all.
"Of course, and it's very cheap. One contribution point can buy you two hours of meditation! Why is Junior Brother interested? The Fire Cloud Stele is placed in the Fire Cloud Hall. Anyone can go there … "
The two of them chatted along the way, and gradually walked up to Pill Peak. This was the place where Elder Gu Tiande was in seclusion to refine pills.
"Junior Brother, Senior Brother won't be sending you up. Elder Gu has a lot of rules here. I'm afraid of delaying him." The moment he reached the foot of Elixir Peak, Song Zhende hurriedly bade farewell, as if a man-eating monster was living on Elixir Peak.
Zhao Yuande looked at Song Zhende's departing back with some surprise, feeling a little strange in his heart.
He stepped onto Elixir Peak and headed towards the peak.
In the main hall on the peak, the doors were tightly shut. From time to time, waves of delicate fragrance of spirit medicine wafted in, and an aged voice constantly reverberated in the main hall.
"Magic Light Grass, crush it! Yes … Now, add it into the pill furnace. Idiot! Who told you to pour it directly? Add it bit by bit … "
"Bang!"
A violent explosion rang out, and the hall doors were blown away by the powerful airflow. An old man in tattered clothes flew out of the main hall, and under his armpit was an eleven or twelve year old boy.
"F * ck! There's a failure. What exactly went wrong? " The old man didn't care about the extremely tattered purple elder robes on his body, and directly threw the boy under his armpit onto the ground. He didn't care if the ground was clean or not, and directly sat down, starting to frown and ponder.
Zhao Yuande was dumbstruck. However, he knew that it was most taboo to have someone disturb him at this moment, so he simply stood there and waited for the old man to return to normal.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Yuande only felt his stomach begin to growl, and a sense of hunger welled up in his heart.
He secretly cursed, and hurriedly took out a handful of elixirs to replenish spirit energy, and directly stuffed them into his mouth.
After the elixirs entered his stomach, he felt a burst of comfort. He gently guided the spirit energy to circulate in his body, and finally, all of it was sucked into the mysterious black hole.
The black hole continued to spin, and some spirit energy was reflected back, slowly nourishing his muscles, bones, meridians, blood vessels …
"Who are you? Why are you here? " Suddenly, an ear-piercing voice rang in his ears. He turned his head and saw the old man looking at him with an unfriendly gaze, and his eyes were filled with vigilance.
"Senior Gu, I am Zhao Yuande." Zhao Yuande looked at the old man, and secretly nodded in his heart. Only this kind of person who was close to madness could achieve something in a certain field.
"You are the Zhao Yuande who activated the Fire Cloud Stele?" The old man walked around him a few times, and looked him up and down. Then, he slowly nodded and said, "En, not bad. Good foundation, calm personality. Alright, come with me! "
The old man turned around and entered the damaged hall.
"Kid, I don't care how talented you are, and I don't care what kind of master you had in the past. If you want to be my disciple, you have to accept my test. If you can't pass, then scram!" The old man pointed to a medicinal cauldron in front of him that was broken into eight halves and said, "Come and see what kind of spirit medicine was used in this furnace of waste pills."
Zhao Yuande walked forward, and dipped a bit of black medicinal dregs in the broken medicinal cauldron on his hand. He put it to his nose and pretended to smell it, but he secretly used the identification technique.
"Dregs of Demonsoul Pills. Failed concoction. Slightly poisonous. Ingredients …"
"Senior, you are concocting a batch of Saint-ranked pills called 'Demonsoul Pills'. This is a type of pill that is designed to help World-level experts recover their spiritual energy. The main ingredients are three-hundred-year old bloodbloodvines, skylight sand, truesoul antlers, demonlight grass …" Zhao Yuande began to list out the ingredients with great familiarity.
The old man was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground. He stared at Zhao Yuande in disbelief, unable to say anything for a long time.
"You … how did you know?" The old man stammered, his finger trembling as he pointed at Zhao Yuande. "Someone must have revealed it to you, right? That has to be it … that has to be it! "
Zhao Yuande secretly felt that he had gone a bit overboard. He had no choice but to say helplessly, "Junior's nose has always been very sharp. I'll never forget anything I smell. I was lucky enough to have seen this type of pill before, so …"
"Really?" The old man's face was filled with suspicion.
"Really!"
"Good! Kid, give me a sniff and tell me what type of pill this is. What ingredients do you have? " The old man refused to believe it. He pulled out a jade bottle from his clothes, then poured out a gray pill that was the size of a soybean.
Zhao Yuande accepted the pill, then put on a show of appraising it.
"Tri-Colored Yuan-Splitting Pill, a high-grade profound-class pill. It has a certain chance of helping a cultivator break through to the Spirit-Incubating stage and form a tri-colored spirit embryo. Ingredients … low-grade ingredients. Suitable for recipes …"
"Mm. This pill has a very strange smell. I've never seen it before. The main ingredients should be spirit-fruits with three different attributes, as well as some supplementary ingredients such as Goldfield Vine, Skyfill Silver, Doro Flower …" This time, Zhao Yuande didn't dare to go too far. He just gave a general summary of the ingredients.
The old man didn't doubt Zhao Yuande's words at all. He enthusiastically grabbed Zhao Yuande's hand, then dragged him into the rear palace. As they walked, he laughed excitedly. "Haha! The heavens truly are kind to me. They have sent me such an excellent disciple. Come, come, come, come, let's go research that primordial remnant pill together! "
"But I haven't acknowledged you as my master yet!" Zhao Yuande's voice sounded like he was in pain. This old man didn't know when he was excited. His big hand squeezed Zhao Yuande's bones until they were creaking.
"What's there to acknowledge! This old man doesn't like those messy etiquette. I'll call you disciple, and you can call me master! "The old man waved his hand and didn't care about all these.
