Profound Grade Eight Star!
"Brother Zong Qi, this little friend of yours is really extraordinary."
Dugu Fengyun sighed as he looked at Zong Qi. He had heard Zong Qi talk about Gu Xuan's strength before. Although he knew that his old friend would not boast, he still felt some resistance in his heart. However, after this short interaction, he was sure that Zong Qi did not exaggerate Gu Xuan. Instead, he was hiding something.
Thinking of this, Dugu Fengyun couldn't help but feel envious. His old friend was able to establish a relationship with such a person. When the latter rose, the benefits would be terrifying.
"My little friend?" Zong Qi suddenly shook his head and smiled. "Brother, you really think too highly of me. Young Master Xuan and I are not friends."
Hearing this, Dugu Fengyun was shocked. According to Zong Qi's words, the two of them were not friends at all. In other words, their status was not equal. Gu Xuan was superior while Zong Qi was inferior.
This really shocked him. A young man could actually make Zong Qi, who was famous in the alchemy world, submit?
…
Gu Xuan had already bought most of the spiritual herbs needed to refine a new Fourth Grade Ancient Elixir. Now that he had entered the Grand Alchemy Conference, he only bought some of the herbs that Yingtian Academy lacked.
As for the majority of the money, Gu Xuan used it all to buy the spiritual herbs needed to refine a Fifth Grade Ancient Elixir, the Flame Melting Pill.
The Flame Melting Pill was not an Ancient Elixir, nor was it an elixir that could raise one's cultivation level. It only had one use, and that was to help refine the Earth Fire.
Gu Xuan had refined the Beast Fire with ease. In fact, it was only because of the suppression of Yun Xi's Heavenly Fire. There was a huge difference between a superior Heavenly Fire and a Seventh Grade Beast Fire. Therefore, he did not need any help to refine it.
However, the Earth Fire was different. The Earth Fire was a flame that was born naturally. Especially the Earth Fire that was ranked at the top, it was not inferior to the Heavenly Fire.
What Gu Xuan wanted to refine was the Evil True Fire that was ranked second on the Earth Fire List. Its power was even more terrifying than the Heavenly Fire that was ranked at the bottom.
Therefore, the Flame Melting Pill needed to be prepared in large quantities.
The effect of this pill was to help the two types of flames fuse. Each pill would only have a weak effect, but it could be consumed multiple times. If there were seventy to eighty pills, then swallowing the Earth Fire would be an easy task.
Otherwise, just the process of fusing the two flames would take half a year or even a year. Gu Xuan did not have that much time.
Therefore, Gu Xuan was prepared to exchange all his treasures for Spirit Crystals, and then buy a large amount of materials for the Flame Melting Pill. As for cultivation, he had already prepared the Spirit Herbs needed to break through to Black Class Eight Star. He could slowly earn them later.
However, the Flame Melting Pill had to be prepared as soon as possible. Refining a fifth grade pill required a long time. If Zong Qi were to refine it after breaking through, he might not be able to refine all of it even when he reached the Honorable Realm.
Within half a day of the Alchemy Grand Meeting, Gu Xuan had completely squandered the huge sum of money he had on hand. He had exchanged it for a large bag of elixirs, but it was only enough for over thirty sets of Flame Melting Pills.
"Sigh, I'm really poor now."
Gu Xuan's heart was filled with helplessness. Once the Spirit Crystals were in his hands, he would immediately make arrangements. It would not be long before he became poor.
However, this was something that could not be helped. As the saying goes, the poor study while the rich practice martial arts. To further one's cultivation, other than talent and hard work, the most important thing was the accumulation of resources.
For example, Gu Xuan could totally not purchase the Flame Melting Pill. However, in that case, it would be a year later when he finished refining the Evil True Fire.
After doing all these, Gu Xuan followed Zong Qi to the Academy and then to the Alchemy Pavilion. Without the supply of elixirs, it would be wishful thinking for Gu Xuan to improve. Therefore, he decided to guide Zong Qi in refining elixirs.
The elixir that he was going to refine was a fourth grade ancient elixir called the Huoluo Pill. Its medicinal strength was roughly equivalent to the Ghost Elixir.
Zong Qi was already familiar with refining ancient fourth grade elixirs. Under Gu Xuan's guidance, the first elixir was refined two days later.
After obtaining the elixir, Gu Xuan temporarily left the Alchemy Pavilion and returned to the tenth pavilion.
"Phew, I hope that the medicinal strength of this elixir will not disappoint me."
Looking at the fiery-red elixir in his hand, Gu Xuan's gaze turned solemn. The effect of the Ghost Elixir was close to zero. If the Huoluo Pill was not effective, it would be extremely difficult for him to raise his cultivation level.
"Yun Xi, help me purify it." Gu Xuan said slowly and summoned the Icy Soul Freezing Flame out of his body.
"Alright, leave it to me."
Under Yun Xi's refinement, the elixir was raised from a lower grade to a higher grade. At this moment, Gu Xuan swallowed the elixir directly.
Boom!
The terrifying medicinal strength spread out in Gu Xuan's body. Only then did Gu Xuan heave a sigh of relief. The medicinal strength of the Huoluo Pill was not depleted at all. It seemed like his method of converting elixirs was still working.
There was still more than half a month to the Grand Competition of the Heavenly Court. The entire Heavenly Court became exceptionally quiet.
Many king level experts in the academy would participate in this grand competition. There were many who had outstanding performances in the grand competition and were directly taken in as disciples by the king level experts at the Sovereign level.
Furthermore, the rewards for each victory in the grand competition were also quite generous. Therefore, all the elite disciples in the Heavenly Court went into seclusion at the same time.
Zong Qi's refining speed had also clearly increased compared to before. Although Gu Xuan's refining speed had increased after his breakthrough, Zong Qi was still able to keep up.
On the sixth day before the Grand Competition of the Heavenly Court, Gu Xuan once again swallowed a Huoluo Pill. Immediately, he felt a trace of restlessness in the flame energy vortex in his body.
A trace of light surfaced in Gu Xuan's eyes. Soon after, he closed his eyes and began to absorb the medicinal strength. The previous two breakthroughs were too quick and violent. This time, Gu Xuan was prepared to fight steadily and surely.
"Pop!"
A day later, a familiar crisp sound once again rang out in Gu Xuan's Dantian. Soon after, the terrifying Yuan Power of the land gushed towards Gu Xuan's Dantian.
This process continued for a period of time before it slowly came to an end.
Gu Xuan's aura had also stabilized at the Xuan Grade Eight Star.
Gu Xuan stood up and waved his hand. Feeling the surging power, a trace of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Now, even an ordinary Sovereign level expert is no match for me, right?"
After familiarizing himself with the power that he had not felt for a long time, Gu Xuan sat down again and continued to cultivate.
Although he was already destined to defeat anyone in the Heavenly Court, those who could become experts would not waste even a moment.
