CHAPTER 355 -
Exploring the Mysterious Gate
Gu Xuan placed the Incomplete Pill under his nose and sniffed.
"The medicinal pill is very fragrant, but there is a trace of fishy smell in the fragrance. This pill should be a fourth-grade pill. It used the thousand-year Snow Crow as the main ingredient, supplemented with thirty-eight other ingredients such as Blood Red Fruit, Blood Linglong Grass, and Unicorn Snake Blood. It was a futile attempt to refine a pill that could replenish one's vitality. What a pity … "
Gu Xuan said while shaking his head.
The surrounding herbmen felt as if they were listening to a heavenly book. Just by smelling it, they could tell what medicinal herbs were used. They could even guess that this pill replenished Vitality?
"This boast is too big. If you can guess so many things just by smelling it, then what do you need us Medicine Men for?"
"Heh, this Gu Dao has just become a medicine man and offended the Soaring Sky Alliance. Is he trying to show off on purpose to attract the attention of the inner sect senior brothers?"
"Idiot, acting so arrogant in front of Senior Yue Yangyu is just courting death! The Celestial Sect of Wonders doesn't prohibit disciples from fighting amongst themselves. If he was killed by a senior from the Inner Sect, there would be no way for him to explain himself. "
Everyone unanimously thought that Gu Xuan was boasting here. Furthermore, he would face a calamity right away.
Yue Yangyu's expression was still considered calm, but the hint of astonishment in his eyes could not be hidden from Gu Xuan.
"What's a pity? Continue." Yue Yangyu stared at Gu Xuan.
"It's a pity that a Tier Three Alchemist wants to refine a Tier Four Pill in vain, and he doesn't even know the method. He's simply overestimating himself!" Gu Xuan said casually.
Actually, he had already smelled a trace of fishy smell from Yue Yangyu's body. It was the smell of the Horned Snake's blood. This Incomplete Pill was simply a failed concoction by Yue Yangyu.
Yue Yangyu's eyes were filled with anger, his fists were clenched so tightly that creaking sounds could be heard.
"Oh no, Senior Brother Yue Yangyu is going to be angry. Stop talking nonsense. Senior Brother Gu Dao, apologize quickly. I will help you!" Gu Xiaonian was a little anxious.
The herbmen in the surroundings also looked as if they were watching a good show. This brat, who told you to spout nonsense and play around with Senior Yue Yangyu like a monkey? You're dead meat now!
"Continue!"
Surprisingly, Senior Brother Yue Yangyu, who was furious in everyone's eyes, did not slash 'Gu Dao' with his blade. Instead, he suppressed his anger and allowed him to 'continue'.
"Senior Yue Yangyu is benevolent, this is giving him a way out. If he admits his mistake now, it's still not too late."
"That's right. With such an obvious hint, anyone who isn't an idiot would know to kneel and beg for mercy."
However, Gu Xuan's following action made everyone burst into an uproar.
No one thought that he would actually continue to spout nonsense, as if he didn't hear Yue Yangyu's sarcasm.
Gu Xuan did not make any unnecessary movements. He directly crushed the Incomplete Pill in his hand. Then, he picked up another Medicinal Pill and said, "This Medicinal Pill is made with a clumsy technique. It should be made by the same rank 3 Alchemist as the Medicinal Pill earlier. There is still the One-Horned Snake's blood added in."
Pausing for a moment, Gu Xuan revealed a playful expression and continued, "Unfortunately, although this person is a grade three alchemist, his understanding of alchemy is probably only at grade two. Otherwise, why would he add the Horned Snake's blood, which seemed cold but was actually very strong, into the medicine? This is the root of his failure. "
Boom!
Yue Yangyu only felt a tremor in his head as it buzzed!
Even his teacher had praised his alchemy technique and his understanding of alchemy many times. How could it be said that it was clumsy? How could it be said that it was only at grade two?
So, the person who said that was just a medicine man?
If it was nonsense, it would be fine. However, what he said was very reasonable. If he hadn't insisted that the One-Horned Snake's blood could really be mixed with other medicinal materials, how could he have failed?
However, the more reasonable it was, the more unconvinced Yue Yangyu was.
He looked at Gu Xuan with both shock and anger. In the end, he snorted coldly.
"Good, good, good! Since you are so proficient in alchemy, you don't need to test medicine anymore. Tomorrow, you will be transferred to the Draught Medicine Elder's side and be an alchemy boy. I hope you can be as eloquent at that time! "
Yue Yangyu sneered and turned to leave fiercely.
Seeing Yue Yangyu leave, everyone kept away from Gu Xuan as if they were looking at a plague.
Gu Xiaonian's face was pale.
Gu Xuan smiled and said, "What? Yue Yangyu already knows how powerful I am and ran away on his own. Shouldn't you be happy for me? "
Gu Xiaonian shivered and said, "Senior Brother Gu Dao, instead of being transferred to the Draught Medicine Elder, I think you should have been beaten to death by Senior Brother Yue Yangyu just now. The Draught Medicine Elder is extremely enthusiastic about alchemy. If his disciples make any mistakes, they may be tortured to death by him. It is said that he has tortured no less than ten third-grade alchemists to death. There was also an alchemist who was tortured to death. In the end, he went crazy and bit his tongue to commit suicide … "
The corners of Gu Xuan's mouth twitched a few times. That Yue Yangyu was really ruthless!
"However, killing people is just a matter of time. Senior Brother Yue Yangyu thought Gu Dao was talkative and killed him. Why did he send him to the Draught Medicine Elder? That is hell on earth!"
"Well, I seem to have guessed a little. Those two incomplete pills were actually sent by Senior Brother Yue after he failed to refine them. What Junior Brother Gu Dao said just now should be close to the truth. That's why Senior Brother Yue flew into a rage out of humiliation. "
"I see. In that case, Gu Dao is really capable."
"It's not just capable. It's simply against the heavens! Yue Yangyu hates us medicine men the most. If it was in the past, I'm afraid he would have already killed those who provoked him. This time, he didn't do it because he was guilty. "
"But he is an inner disciple after all. Whether he is right or not, it's too easy for him to kill Gu Dao."
Everyone suddenly understood. There was actually a trace of sympathy in their gazes as they looked at Gu Xuan. They originally thought that he was talking nonsense, but they didn't expect that what he said was actually true. Moreover, he had to pay a painful price that was worse than death for speaking the truth.
This was really — too tragic!
After that, there was no one to test medicine in the Medicine Testing Pavilion. Gu Xuan had offended the Flying Sky Alliance and Yue Yangyu. His future was bleak, and no one was willing to get close to him.
Only Gu Xiaonian accompanied Gu Xuan for a while. He kept sighing and mourning for Gu Xuan.
A day passed quickly.
Night fell.
In Gu Xuan's room, he and Elder Zi quietly went out of the room. They used their movement techniques and split up to explore the Xuan Sect carefully.
The Xuan Sect was very big, but both of them had the combat strength of an Emperor. Naturally, they were not slow. After a few hours, they had explored most of the major palaces in the Xuan Sect.
After five o 'clock, they met in Gu Xuan's room.
"The Xuan Sect is indeed one of the three major sub-sects of the Taoist Sects. It doesn't seem to be very strong in the open, but there are countless formations and restrictions in the dark. There are also many mysterious protective measures. It's simply impregnable. It's too difficult to gain anything here." Elder Zi was a little disappointed.
"I don't think so. Formations and restrictions are inanimate objects after all. It's not difficult to break them. From the beginning, the most troublesome thing should be the Emperors guarding the various palaces. Whether it's the Treasure Pavilion or the Medicine Hall, there are no less than two Emperors guarding them. How can we break through them and get the treasures without being besieged? This is the key to success. "Gu Xuan's words were full of strong confidence.
"Do you have a plan?" Elder Zi asked in surprise.
"Plans can't keep up with changes. Originally, I planned to take action immediately after exploring tonight. At least I had a 60% chance of escaping unscathed. But now it seems that after dawn, I have at least a 90% chance of escaping unscathed. "Gu Xuan said mysteriously.
"You mean, the forces that secretly sneaked in will take action after dawn?" Elder Zi said thoughtfully.
Gu Xuan nodded and said, "Just now, I found a spatial fluctuation in the Medicine Hall. It's definitely the fluctuation of a teleportation formation. If I didn't happen to pass by, even an Emperor powerhouse would find it difficult to detect such a small fluctuation. I guess the enemies of the Xuan Sect have already arrived. They will definitely take action soon. "
The dawn bird's cry pierced the sky.
Bang!
Gu Xuan's door was smashed open.
