After putting away the Spirit Dou Pills from the medicine cauldron, Gu He asked the alchemists, who were still brimming with delight, "Would you like to continue watching the refining process?"
The elderly man surnamed Zhao thought it over and decided to stay, while the other Fourth-grade Alchemists took their leave. Just this single observation session had already left them feeling as though their minds were overloaded. If they stayed any longer, even the knowledge they had already memorized might become muddled, and they could end up losing even what they had learned the first time.
Gu He went along with their wishes and had the magical beasts escort them off the island in the middle of the lake. He then continued refining another batch of Spirit Dou Pills. This time, since he no longer needed to accommodate those Fourth-grade Alchemists, Gu He explained more profound alchemical knowledge to Elder Zhao as he refined the pills.
By the time the second Spirit Dou Pill was successfully refined, Elder Zhao had also had his fill and took the initiative to bid farewell.
Looking at the island, which was once again occupied by only himself, Gu He nodded in satisfaction.
Although he wanted to build good relationships with these alchemists, he had no intention of keeping them here forever. He would soon need to refine pills required for devouring Heavenly Flames, which was why he had taken the initiative to teach them alchemy—to make them wisely choose to leave on their own.
This method not only made them deeply grateful, but also achieved his goal. In the end, all the alchemists of Gu Ling Pavilion would improve their alchemy skills by another level. Killing three birds with one stone—why not? All he had given them was some basic alchemical knowledge.
