"What kind of alchemy technique is this? The timing of putting in the spiritual grass is so precise!"

Gu Sheng The corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"Unity of Spirit has been of great benefit to me. As a thank you, I will show you some unique techniques. It's up to you how much you can understand."

Before he finished speaking, he made a hand seal, and the other nine alchemy furnaces in the alchemy room ignited blazing fire at the same time.

What is shocking is that the nine pill fires actually separated from the furnace body and swam into Gu Sheng's palm.

"Northern Star Fire Control Art!"

Gu Sheng shouted low, flicked his finger, and nine rays of alchemy fire flew into the central alchemy furnace. The temperature in the furnace rose sharply, but he accurately controlled it below the critical point.

The speed of input of spiritual herbs doubled accordingly, and the process of medicinal fusion was incredibly fast.

Miss Tantai witnessed all this through the spiritual link and was so shocked that he was speechless.

She had never imagined that alchemy could be done so smoothly, as if she was not following steps, but performing an art.

Two hours have passed, while ordinary alchemists may still be extracting the last few herbs, Gu Sheng has completed the extraction of all the magical herbs.

The medicinal liquid in the alchemy furnace is crystal clear and exudes a refreshing fragrance.

"Stop!"

Gu Sheng suddenly uttered the word Northern Star Pill God Technique while changing the handprints.

An astonishing scene appeared - the medicinal properties of the alchemy furnace burst out of the furnace, turning into a stream of light and pouring into his body.

Miss Tantai exclaimed.

"Introducing the medicinal properties?! How is this possible!"

Gu Sheng didn't answer. Spiritual energy surged around his body, and a slight buzzing sound came from his body.

In just a few breaths, the final purification of the medicinal properties has been completed.

He pointed out the pure medicinal properties and put it back into the alchemy furnace. He absorbed the elixir fire from the air with his other hand and continued the final refining.

"Condensation!"

Gu Sheng Put his hands together, the alchemy furnace shook violently, and a dazzling golden light emerged from the gap in the furnace cover.

Miss Tantai stared at the alchemy furnace nervously, and rapid fluctuations came from her spiritual link.

Gu Sheng can feel her anticipation and anxiety, as well as her deep hope - if she can really refine Mystic Violet Golden Pill, her sister will be saved.

A quarter of an hour later, the strong medicinal fragrance filled the entire alchemy room, which was refreshing.

Gu Sheng slowly finished the exercise, with fine beads of sweat oozing out from his forehead.

He looked at Miss Tantai and nodded slightly.

Miss Tantai immediately released the Unity of Spirit secret method, and his face turned pale instantly.

But she ignored her weakness, staggered toward the alchemy furnace, and opened the lid with trembling hands.

Three round, jade-like white pills lay quietly at the bottom of the furnace, with nine golden pill lines clearly appearing on each pill.

What is even more shocking is that in addition to the nine complete pill lines, there is also a faint line, like a new bud, which has not yet fully appeared.

"Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir. No, this is"

Miss Tantai's voice was trembling and his eyes were glazed over.

"The tenth pill pattern?!"

Gu Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a slight regret.

"It's a pity that it can't be fully realized. It's still at rank nine, at most it's considered a half-heaven grade."

Miss Tantai's cold eyes stared at Gu Sheng, and his fingertips unconsciously rubbed the dark lines of his sleeves.

Three Mystic Violet Golden Pill lie quietly in Jade Box, with the elixir pattern flowing. This is the peak Rank 7 elixir that even she, Linlang Pavilion Third Pavilion Master, has difficulty refining.

"Gu worship."

She spoke suddenly, with a hint of hesitation in her voice.

"Linlang Pavilion owes you once."

Gu Sheng was cleaning up the alchemy furnace and did not even raise his head when he heard the words.

"I will speak up when necessary."

Miss Tantai, however, refused to give in. She moved lightly to stand in front of him.

She is half a head shorter than Gu Sheng, but she does not appear weak at all because of her awe-inspiring aura.

"The alchemy technique you just used."

She paused.

"But 'Spirit Guidance Returning Origin Art' from Northern Star Pill Saint ten thousand years ago?"

Gu Sheng's hand movements are slightly stagnant.

Northern Star Pill Saint——This was his title in his previous life before he entered the imperial realm.

He raised his eyes to meet Miss Tantai's probing eyes and suddenly smiled.

"Third Pavilion Master has extraordinary insights."

"I have seen the record in "Ancient Records of the Pill Dao"."

Miss Tantai A ray of ice-blue flame condensed from his fingertips, and ancient runes were outlined in the air.

"It is said that Northern Star Pill Saint can use his body as a cauldron to collect the essence of hundreds of medicines in the sea of consciousness, and complete the purification of medicinal properties in an instant. Just now you"

She suddenly stopped speaking, because the exact same runes were emerging from Gu Sheng's palm, but they were more solid.

"Not Northern Star Pill Saint."

Gu Sheng whispered, and the rune turned into a golden lotus in his palm.

"It's Northern Star Pill Emperor."

The air suddenly solidified.

Miss Tantai's pupils shrank, and then he laughed.

"Gu Gongfeng is joking. Senior Beichen has visited Heavenly Realm thousands of years ago. If someone pretends to be his name"

She looked up at the dome and said half-jokingly, half-warning.

"I'm afraid it will attract Heavenly Punishment and raze this Great Desolation City to the ground."

Gu Sheng was noncommittal, just looking at her calmly.

The look in his eyes was too profound, as if it had really gone through thousands of years of vicissitudes.

Miss Tantai felt an inexplicable tremor in his heart and hurriedly changed the topic.

"The two secret techniques just now"

"How much you can learn depends on you Fortune."

Gu Sheng Put away the golden lotus.

"With your spiritual cultivation, you should be able to master it after just one look."

Miss Tantai looked complicated.

She did remember the magic formula, but the more she thought about it, the more mysterious it became.

After being silent for a while, she suddenly smiled.

"I jokingly called you Master before, but it turned out to be a prophecy."

She made an oath with her fingertips, and the golden light from the origin of martial arts shone on her fingertips.

"I, Miss Tantai, swear by martial arts that I will never leak even a single cent of what I saw and heard today."

The golden light sinks into the eyebrows, and the vow is fulfilled.

"I thought I would suffer a big loss this time."

She winked, showing a rare hint of playfulness.

"I didn't expect to make such a huge profit."

Gu Sheng smiled and said nothing. In fact, the benefits he gained were even more astonishing.

Just now, the mental power briefly climbed to the eighth level. Although it has dropped back to the fourth level now, the sea of consciousness has been permanently broadened in the "Unity of Spirit" state.

This means that there will no longer be a bottleneck before he reaches peak Rank 7 - this kind of opportunity is enough to drive any alchemist crazy.

"Let's save Grand Pavilion Mistress first."

Gu Sheng pointed at Jade Box.

"We can talk about other things after the crisis is over."

Miss Tantai nodded solemnly and put away Jade Box with a light wave of his hand. Before leaving, she suddenly turned around.

"Master."

I felt awkward speaking out the second word again, and the tips of my ears were slightly red.

"If Gu Zongfeng has free time in the future, can you give me some advice on alchemy?"

"It doesn't hurt to call me Master."

Gu Sheng is rarely teasing.

"After all, teaching and learning is the relationship between master and disciple."

Miss Tantai glared at him and turned into a streak of ice blue light and disappeared into the sky.

Gu Sheng looked at the direction she was leaving, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

This Third Pavilion Master looks as cold as ice, but in fact is so simple and cute.

After withdrawing his thoughts, Gu Sheng's face became serious.

Recently, he is preparing to leave Imperial Sect publicly and needs to make arrangements in advance. Although I don't have deep feelings for the Imperial Sect, after all, I have been in business for many years and there are some secrets that still need to be arranged.

Great Desolation City Tiancheng teleportation array, runes flashing.

Gu Sheng As soon as he stepped out of the formation, he was surrounded by five warriors in black costumes.

They wear the Great Desolation Sacred Academy emblem on their chests, and their auras range from the peak Black Tortoise Realm to early Earth Martial Realm.

"Who are you?"

The leader asked in a deep voice.

"Linlang Pavilion Great Enshrined, Gu Sheng."

Gu Sheng showed the token, and the word "Linlang" shined brightly on the dark golden token.

"Please send the message Outer Court Xu Ling su."

The expressions of several people suddenly changed. Great Desolation City Recently, who doesn't know that the newly promoted Linlang Pavilion Great Enshrined and Third Pavilion Master are ruthless characters? It is said that even the genius Shen Family suffered a hidden loss.

"Please wait a moment."

The leader became more respectful and signaled his companions to send the message.

Gu Sheng stood with his hands behind his hands and glanced across the square. As expected, no one from the Lu Family showed up.

Ever since the news that he became Linlang Pavilion Great Enshrined spread, the demons and monsters in the dark have restrained themselves a lot.

Shen Qingyun, a prodigy of Inner Court, would not dare to take action openly, let alone Lu Family, who has taken root in Outer Court.

About half a quarter of an hour later, a green figure hurried over.

Xu Ling su is still wearing a simple green shirt, but the protective energy looming around her body shows that she has broken through to the Black Tortoise Realm.

"Senior Brother Gu!"

Xu Ling su's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly suppressed it and bowed politely. After all, there are people from the Holy Court around.

Gu Sheng looked at her.

"Black Tortoise Realm First Level? Not a small improvement."

Xu Ling su pursed his lips and smiled.

"Better than Senior Brother Gu. I heard about you"

She lowered her voice.

"It became Linlang Pavilion Third Pavilion Master?"

Gu Sheng is noncommittal.

"Please contact City Lord Xu. Great Desolation City will make a statement in three days. It concerns Imperial Sect."

Xu Ling su looked serious and nodded solemnly.

"I will summon you immediately."

She hesitated for a moment.

"Senior Brother Gu wants it"

"Get away from the Imperial Sect."

Gu Sheng said it in an understatement, but Xu Ling su took a breath of cold air.

In Xuantian Continent, rebellion is a taboo.

Seemingly sensing her concern, Gu Sheng added.

"Going openly, I won't harm you."

Xu Ling su said anxiously.

"That's not what I meant! It's just"

She bit her lip.

"Do you need help? Father still has some connections in Great Desolation City."

Gu Sheng felt warm in his heart. In my previous life, I was used to being a loner, but in this life I have a few more people who treat me sincerely.

"No need, everything has been arranged."

He paused.

"Ning Shuang How are you doing lately?"

"Senior Sister Gu was spotted by a Heavenly Martial Realm instructor and is said to have reached the fifth level of the Black Tortoise Realm."

Xu Ling su showed envy in his eyes.

"I went out for training with my instructor the day before yesterday."

Gu Sheng nodded slightly.

"During the training last month, Senior Sister Ning Shuang specifically looked for opportunities to visit Senior Brother Gu."

She whispered to herself, her fingertips caressing the jade pendant at her waist unconsciously.

"It's a pity that we couldn't see it in the end."

Gu Sheng, who was standing next to her, nodded slightly. His black outfit outlined his tall and straight figure. The youthfulness in his brows had faded away from when he was Imperial Sect, replaced by a reserved edge.

"Senior Brother Gu, you are now"

Xu Ling su hesitated again as he spoke, and embarrassment appeared on his fair face.

"Forget it, I shouldn't ask this."

Gu Sheng looked at her sideways, the corners of his lips raised slightly.

"But it doesn't matter."

"I'm just curious about your current level of cultivation."

Xu Ling su bit his lower lip lightly, then smiled to himself.

"However, the resources of the Great Desolation Sacred Academy are far from comparable to the Imperial Sect, so my question is really redundant."

Gu Sheng did not answer immediately, but raised his hand and waved, a solid cyan aura instantly surrounded his body, and there was even a slight hum in the air.

The strong energy was so strong that Xu Ling su's robes three feet away could move without any wind.

"Black Tortoise Realm seventh level."

Gu Sheng's voice is calm.

"You can enter the eighth level within ten days."

Xu Ling su's pupils shrank suddenly, and she subconsciously circulated her own aura, but it only formed a thin white halo on the surface of her body. Compared with Gu Sheng's body-protecting aura, it was like a firefly to a bright moon.

"This"

Her face changed slightly, and her fingertips trembled unconsciously.

When we first met three months ago, she was still at the seventh level of the Yellow Martial Realm, and Gu Sheng was no more than Spirit Martial Realm; now she finally broke through to the first level of the Black Tortoise Realm, but the other party had left her far behind.

Gu Sheng put away his Gang Qi and said calmly.

"My situation is special. Junior Sister Xu doesn't need to compare."

"Father is right, you are indeed not a creature of the pond."

Xu Ling su smiled bitterly and shook his head, then said seriously.

"What's the matter with coming to me this time?"

"Keep your promise."

Gu Sheng Succinct and comprehensive.

Xu Ling su's eyes lit up, remembering the conditions Gu Sheng had asked his father to attach when he cooperated with the Imperial Sect.

She took out a sapphire ring from her storage ring.

"I need the fourth grade Body Tempering Pill and the fifth grade Spirit Awakening Pill."

She is straightforward.

"The former can increase the speed of body-protecting Qi cultivation, and the latter can improve mental power. The materials are all here."

Gu Sheng took the ring and understood it clearly in one glance.

He nodded.

"Three days later, the same place."

Before he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the teleportation array not far away.

Xu Ling su looked at the direction he was leaving, unable to regain consciousness for a long time.

"Three or four months, from the Spirit Martial Realm to the Black Tortoise Realm seventh level"

she muttered.

"Father is right, I am not really a genius."

"Do you know Gu Sheng?"

A cold female voice suddenly came from behind, making Xu Ling su tremble all over.

She turned around suddenly and saw a girl wearing red soft armor and an iron mask standing three steps away.

The badge worn on the girl's chest glows with a dark golden light in the sun - that is the symbol of the Great Desolation Sacred Academy Inner Court disciple!

Xu Ling su saluted quickly.

"I've met Senior Sister!"

"No gift."

The girl raised her hand, revealing a pair of eyes under the iron mask.

"You know Gu Sheng?"

"Back to senior sister, we met before the exam and had some interactions."

Xu Ling su answered carefully.

Disciple Inner Court is unattainable to disciple Outer Court, let alone the senior sister in front of him with an unfathomable aura.

The girl——Shen Qingtian nodded slightly.

"We are short of a message agent in our hospital. If you are willing to tell us about Gu Sheng, this position will be yours."

Xu Ling su's breathing was stagnant. Becoming a Inner Court disciple agent is a great opportunity for any Outer Court disciple, which means more cultivation resources and opportunities to enter Inner Court.

She suppressed her excitement and asked cautiously.

"I wonder who Senior Sister and Junior Brother Gu are?"

"Not an enemy."

Shen Qingtian said calmly.

"We have cooperated several times. It was he who sent the Bright Mirror Shard fragment to the Holy Court."

Hearing this, Xu Ling su breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought for a moment and made a gesture of invitation.

"Senior sister, if you don't mind it, can you lend me a moment to speak?"

Shen Qingtian nodded, and the two walked towards the pavilion on the edge of the square. Xu Ling su didn't notice that a black shadow quietly receded under the shade of a tree in the distance.

At the same time, Gu Sheng has arrived at Yellow City through the teleportation array.

Yellow City is even more noisy than Tiancheng. The streets are bustling with people and various shops are lined up in rows.

Gu Sheng As soon as he stepped out of the teleportation array, his eyebrows jumped - there was a qi machine locked on him!
