After entering the Elixir Warehouse and greeting Mu Ling, Gu Xuan began to organize the Elixirs.
While organizing the spiritual herbs, Gu Xuan's speed was extremely fast. It was so fast that even Mu Ling felt that it was somewhat inconceivable.
Although ordinary alchemists were very familiar with the medicinal properties of various spirit medicines, it was impossible for them to know all the attributes of a spirit medicine just by looking at it.
But Gu Xuan could do it. With just a sweep of his eyes, it was enough to organize a large batch of spirit herbs. His work efficiency was ten times better than hers.
Thinking of this, Mu Ling finally could not hold back her curiosity. She pretended to be nonchalant as she said, "Baizhi has already been expelled from my master's tutelage."
"Oh? There is actually such a thing? "Gu Xuan smiled faintly and casually replied.
Unable to find anything out of the ordinary on Gu Xuan's body, Mu Ling's elegant brows furrowed slightly as she stared at Gu Xuan. "I seem to have heard that you had some conflict with Baizhi yesterday evening and it just so happened that Mu Ling was expelled by my Master at that time …"
Gu Xuan shrugged his shoulders: "You can't possibly think that Baizhi was expelled by your master because of me, right?"
"Alright." Mu Ling nodded helplessly and could only suppress the speculation in her heart.
Although Baizhi's talent was not as good as hers, she was still a Level One Alchemist with unlimited potential. On the other hand, Gu Xuan was just an assistant who had not even reached the level of an Apprentice Alchemist.
There was no comparison between the two. It was impossible for her master to expel Bai Zhi because of Gu Xuan.
However, Gu Xuan's performance was still a bit too mysterious. He knew spirit medicines like the back of his hand. He wasn't an alchemist, but he was able to obtain her master's favor. Moreover, every time he casually asked a question before, it made her faintly feel something. It shouldn't be as simple as it seemed.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it. Master has a bad temper. Maybe Baizhi accidentally angered Master." Mu Ling glanced at Gu Xuan and thought to herself.
Although her intuition told her that this matter should have a lot to do with Gu Xuan, this was really a little too bizarre.
"Hahaha, I did it, I finally did it!"
A short while later, an excited roar suddenly rang out from the alchemy room. This voice came from Zong Qi's mouth and attracted many people's attention.
Zong Qi had always paid attention to his identity as a Pill Dao Grandmaster. It was very rare for him to lose control of his emotions like this.
"Has the pill been successfully refined?" Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows as a look of satisfaction appeared on his face. As long as he could refine the Supernatural Pill, his cultivation path would be completely smooth. If Zong Qi was still unable to succeed after paying such a huge price and risking being exposed, he would be too disappointed.
"I'm going to help Master Zong Qi tidy up the alchemy room." Gu Xuan stood up and said to Mu Ling.
"Alright." Mu Ling hesitated for a moment before nodding her head. Although her master did not like to be disturbed when he was refining pills, he had already completed the refinement. Moreover, Gu Xuan's situation was a little special. Hence, she did not stop him.
Gu Xuan walked into the alchemy room. The originally excited Zong Qi froze and bowed respectfully towards Gu Xuan, "Greetings Master."
At this moment, Zong Qi's attitude towards Gu Xuan was even more reverent. The difficulty of refining a fourth-grade ancient elixir was not lower than refining a fourth-grade middle grade elixir. If it was before, he would not even dare to think about it, but now he had actually succeeded in refining it.
"Have you successfully refined the medicinal pill?" Gu Xuan randomly nodded his head and went straight to the point.
"I have already refined it successfully!" Zong Qi's face revealed a proud expression. He was originally prepared to fail a few times, but he did not expect to succeed on his first try.
Zong Qi's face was solemn. He carefully took a porcelain bottle from the table and handed it over to Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows and tilted the porcelain bottle. A coarse dark red elixir landed in Gu Xuan's hand.
"This is the lousy elixir you refined?" Gu Xuan frowned.
"Uh …" Zong Qi, who was originally waiting for Gu Xuan's praise, was stunned. This was the best masterpiece he had ever made in his life, the essence of a lifetime of refining elixirs. Yet, Gu Xuan only gave such an evaluation.
"Forget it, your alchemy skills are too low. It is already good enough that you were able to refine it. Continue refining." After keeping the elixir, Gu Xuan frowned slightly and said.
Zong Qi's face was filled with embarrassment. He said embarrassedly, "This elixir should still be usable."
"It can still be used, but it is only a defective elixir." Gu Xuan shook his head, "Fine, I will now refine it a second time. You can observe carefully."
"What? A second refinement? " Zong Qi's eyes were wide open, as if he did not hear what Gu Xuan said, "Isn't the refining of elixirs over after the first refinement? How can you refine it a second time?"
"You don't believe my words?" Gu Xuan glanced at Zong Qi, "Are you the alchemy grandmaster or me?"
"I only made a slip of the tongue. I did not mean to question master." Zong Qi's face was covered in cold sweat as he hurriedly explained.
"This is the first time. If there is a next time, get lost." Gu Xuan said coldly.
If it was a normal matter, Gu Xuan might not care so much. However, when it came to alchemy, he would not allow anyone to question him. When he was teaching alchemy, his disciples only dared to listen obediently and accept everything.
This Zong Qi was only a follower. Gu Xuan did not even bother to say a word. If you want to listen, listen. If you don't want to listen, get lost. What does it have to do with me whether you understand or not?
Gu Xuan summoned the Ice Soul Cold Flame out of his body. With a wave of his hand, it turned into a cauldron.
If Yun Xi was not in hibernation, her purifying ability would be enough to purify this elixir to a high grade. However, now that Yun Xi was in hibernation, Gu Xuan could only refine it himself. Although the effect was much worse, it would not be a problem to raise this elixir to a medium grade.
After throwing the Ghost Divine Elixir into the cauldron, Gu Xuan sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes. He merged his mind and the flame into one.
Balls of flame wrapped around the Ghost Divine Elixir and refined it slowly. Every minute of the flame was controlled to the peak. As the refinement went on, the surface of the Ghost Divine Elixir gradually became rounder.
"This, this …"
Zong Qi looked at Gu Xuan in shock. He was completely attracted by Gu Xuan's refining process. Although he did not know what was good about Gu Xuan's technique, the process was too casual and smooth.
A semi-finished elixir was completely upgraded to a medium grade after Gu Xuan refined it for two hours.
After Gu Xuan withdrew the flame, Zong Qi came back to his senses. His face was full of shame and he could not wait to find a hole to hide in. He wanted to be praised by Gu Xuan for refining such a lousy thing.
