At that thought, Gu He felt a faint sense of relief. Fortunately, he had not gone to the Void Lightning Pool recently. Otherwise, the secret of the Devouring Flame would have been exposed.
If the Pill Tower Ancestor discovered the secret of the Devouring Flame, Gu He truly could not predict what would happen. Although, in the original timeline, the Pill Tower Ancestor had always seemed free of desire and ambition, no one could foresee what he would do upon learning of such a strange flame capable of rapidly increasing one's strength. Even Gu He himself could not predict his own actions before truly coming into contact with the Devouring Flame.
And what Gu He hated most was the feeling of leaving his fate in someone else's hands.
It seemed that after returning to the Pill Tower, he would need to be more careful. It was best not to visit the Void Lightning Pool anytime soon.
Gu He made up his mind not to leave the Pill Tower during this period.
After speaking with the Great Elder, he made another round of the area. Once he confirmed that none of the Soul Hall experts' souls had survived, he led the three of them back toward the Pill Tower.
Following the incident at the Bodhi Cave Mansion, the Great Elder clearly trusted Gu He far more. Not only did he make Gu He a judge for the Pill Gathering, he also began involving him in many other matters, such as managing the medicinal ingredients within the Small Pill Tower and restoring incomplete ninth-tier pill formulas.
With the Great Elder's help, Gu He had truly integrated into the Small Pill Tower. Moreover, thanks to his strength and alchemy skills, he held a rather distinguished position there.
