There is a small courtyard with three entrances in the west of Gama City. In the Gama City with many pavilions, this courtyard is ordinary.
But in the eyes of many Gama City forces, this courtyard is anything but ordinary. Because its owner is the only Sixth-Rank Alchemist--Pill King Gu He who is famous in the empire.
Gu He was born in a humble family, but he was extremely talented on the road to Alchemist. He won the championship in a Alchemist Grand Meeting competition when he was young and has become famous Gamma Empire ever since.
Along with his fame, he was hired by the Gamma Empire Alchemist Guild as honorary Elders, by the Yun Lan Sect as nominal Elders, and by the Gama Royal Family as Imperial Family.
This series of names looks scary, but only Gu He himself knows that all these are just flowers in the mirror and moon in the water.
It's okay to use it to scare others, but when faced with the Gama Royal Family, Yun Lan Sect, or even the slightly weaker Three Great Families, he has no ability to resist at all.
On normal days, everyone would still pretend to respect him, Sixth-Rank Alchemist. But at the critical moment, who would care about what he thinks?
For example, in the war that just ended, everyone would be polite to ask him for Alchemy on weekdays. But during the war, there was no politeness at all. There were just cold orders, asking him to refine various Medicinal Pill without any delay.
Every time like this, Gu He can clearly feel that beneath his glamorous appearance, he is actually just a craftsman kept by the big forces to refine Medicinal Pill.
No different than a blacksmith or a carpenter.
"Master, my disciple is ready."
At this time, Liu Ling's voice woke up Gu He. He looked up and saw Liu Ling sitting cross-legged inside Courtyard. His condition had been adjusted to the best. There was a statue of Dark Red Medicine Cauldron in front of him.
Today is his first time to refine Three-Rank Pill. If he can succeed, he will be promoted to a third-grade Alchemist!
Of course, Gu He, as a master, cannot be absent from such an important moment. Especially Alchemy is not without danger. If the furnace explodes, it is extremely dangerous, and he must guard it.
"Ling'er, the "Qinghe Pill" you refined today is the simplest type of Three-Rank Pill. The refining is not complicated. You don't need to be nervous or anxious. Just follow the steps on Pill Recipes and take your time and let nature take its course."
Gu He only allowed him to start refining after careful instructions.
Liu Ling nodded, and after saluting Gu He, he took a deep breath, calmed down, and started to operate Dou Qi, summoning a kind of gray Brown Flame.
Of course, this fire will not be "Exotic Flame", but it is also an unusual flame and will be helpful to Alchemy.
As soon as he turned his hand, the gray Brown Flame in his hand flew to the bottom of Medicine Cauldron and began to heat Medicine Cauldron.
Soon, the temperature inside Medicine Cauldron rose to a suitable level. He calmly took out a piece of Medicinal Ingredient from Ring of Holding, threw it into the cauldron, and started the first step of Alchemy:
Purify.
Liu Ling can usually refine two kinds of Medicinal Ingredient at the same time, but now it is too critical. He is seeking stability and only dares to refine one kind of Medicinal Ingredient, so the refining process is a bit slow.
Fortunately, patience is a basic lesson for every Alchemist. Neither he nor Gu He paid attention to the flow of time.
After each flavor Medicinal Ingredient is refined, he will wrap it with Dou Qi, take it out, and carefully store it in a jade bottle for safekeeping.
This went back and forth for more than ten times. Although there were errors in the extraction of two flavors of Medicinal Ingredient, it was still successfully completed after using the spare Medicinal Ingredient.
Looking at the dozens of small jade bottles, Liu Ling breathed a sigh of relief. The hard work of this half hour was finally completed.
He wiped away the fine sweat on his forehead, raised his head and swallowed another Dou Qi Recovery Pill. After recovering, he started the last step of refining, which is also the most critical step:
Pill Fusion.
Put all the refined Medicinal Ingredient into Medicine Cauldron in the order listed on Pill Recipes, and then turn it into a pill.
This step cannot be completed by Medicine Cauldron and flame alone. Of course, it is also impossible to rely on Alchemist to rub it by yourself. Instead, Soul Power must be used to lead this last step.
I saw that inside Medicine Cauldron, the essence of Medicinal Ingredient that was poured in one after another was stirred by an invisible force, began to rotate, mix, and finally merged. Pill Fragrance gradually floated out of Medicine Cauldron.
Smelling the delicate fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose, Liu Ling's face showed excitement. This was clearly the image of the elixir. Unexpectedly, he could successfully refine this Three-Rank Pill in one go?!
Although he has kept all the refining processes of Qinghe Pill firmly in mind, and has studied and studied them step by step, and there is also Sixth-Rank Alchemist who gives full guidance. But it is still no small miracle that he succeeded in refining Three-Rank Pill for the first time!
Even Gu He also stroked his beard and nodded with a look of satisfaction on his face.
If this matter were spread, not only would it shock the entire Alchemist Guild, it would also be enough to attract the attention of a group of fourth-grade Fifth-Rank Alchemy Grandmaster.
And Liu Ling started to fantasize. If she told Nalan Yanran about this, she would be surprised, right?
Therefore, the master and disciple did not notice that a figure had flown over the courtyard, and then a terrifying pressure suddenly descended!
"Supervisory Left Division enshrined, Dou Emperor Ling Ying, inquire about Alchemist Gu He's illegal activities! No one is involved, please retreat quickly!"
Along with the pressure, there was a loud rumbling sound.
Under such sudden interruption, Liu Ling made a mistake as expected. The semi-finished product Medicinal Pill that was being produced by Pill Fusion in Medicine Cauldron suddenly lost its balance, and the majestic Medicinal Power exploded, and Medicine Cauldron broke into pieces!
Gu He's complexion changed drastically. Body Flicker came to Liu Ling and hurriedly took action to protect Liu Ling. At the same time, he raised his head to look at the figure in the sky and shouted with uncontrollable anger:
"Supervisory Left Division... Such a great prestige. I wonder what kind of illegal things Gu He has committed, but he has provoked your Excellency, Dou Huang expert, to come and investigate in person?!"
"Mo Lai Ni Family Zoe is here to sue you for hoarding and maliciously raising the price of Medicinal Pill... Gu He, come with me."
Ling Ying stopped in mid-air, looked down at Gu He, and said loudly, "The right and wrong will be clear to you after you confront Zoe face to face!"
Gu He laughed angrily when he heard this. He was hoarding and maliciously raising the price of Medicinal Pill. What kind of mess is this?
And everyone in the world doesn't know that Mo Lai Ni Family has taken refuge in Nalan Ye. And Supervisory Left Division, isn't it Nalan Ye's territory?!
Gu He clearly realized that he was involved in a new turmoil. This turmoil started from the newly established Supervisory Left Division, but he didn't know which force it was targeting in the end?
"I only want to be stable Alchemy, and I only like Alchemy... Why should you, your Excellency, and the people behind you make things difficult for me?"
Gu He sighed and said faintly. Ling Ying ignored him, Nalan Ye said he wanted to arrest Gu He and leave, but he couldn't decide this matter.
Seeing that Gu He had no intention of surrendering, he fluttered his light wings behind him and dived towards the courtyard below.
Seeing this, Gu He felt angry in his heart. Anyone who was tutoring his apprentice Alchemy at home and enjoying a peaceful life, but suddenly got involved in a dispute, wouldn't he be happy, right?
He slapped Liu Ling away with a light slap, and then with a low shout, he condensed his light wings and rushed towards Ling Ying!
It's just that Ling Ying is Dou Huang Peak. Even if Xie Biyan evaluates him as not good at fighting, he is still better at fighting than Alchemist.
What's more, he is just Dou Wang cultivation.
The two of them fought for only a few moments before he let out a cry of pain and was slapped by Ling Ying, flying out and landing on a nearby street.
Pedestrians on the street scattered in shock, while Ling Ying chuckled, pounced on it, took out a special rope and tied Gu He tightly, and then soared into the sky. In the eyes of countless stunned pedestrians, he carried Gu He and flew to U Yue City.
In that courtyard, Liu Ling finally came back to his senses and looked up at the sky. His master had disappeared into the horizon and no one could be seen.
"Nalan Ye!!"
His eyes widened with anger and he punched the wall. The pain in his fist made him come back to his senses slightly. He tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart and began to think about how to rescue his master.
"Yes, go find Alchemist Guild, as well as Yun Lan Sect and Imperial Family. Let them come forward and put pressure together. I don't believe Nalan Ye dares not to release the master!"
