Everyone was startled when they saw Guan Guan's body tremble like that.
What does this mean? Why is there a tremor?
Could Yang Kaixin possibly be right?
"What a joke! How could Miss Guan Guan not know that the Year Metal Earth Pill Furnace is of the metal element?" Young Master Tian approached Yang Zhen and said, " Yang Kaixin, only a novice cultivator would ask such a basic question. Guan Guan is a master alchemist; please don't cause trouble here."
With that, Young Master Tian chuckled and turned to Guan Guan, saying, " Guan Guan, you haven't eaten or drunk anything for days in a row, all for the sake of refining this Origin-Stabilizing Pill. Fellow Daoist Yang Kaixin is new here and may not know your routine, so I hope Miss Guan Guan won't take offense."
"As expected of Young Master Tian, he is indeed a man of great integrity and magnanimity, not at all arrogant or conceited. This is what we cultivators should learn from."
"You scared me! I thought this guy surnamed Tian was going to clash with Yang Kaixin." The chubby boy looked at Young Master Tian with a strange expression and lingering fear.
"How could a conflict arise? Young Master Tian is so magnanimous, risking Guan Guan Miss Guan to speak up for Yang Kaixin. How could Yang Kaixin hold a grudge against him? If Yang Kaixin isn't stupid, she would definitely take this opportunity to back down."
The crowd buzzed with discussion. The chubby boy glanced at Young Master Tian and muttered, "He's just using someone else's name. He's pretending to help Yang Kaixin, but actually he's just trying to show off. Those kinds of scoundrels are the worst! And they put on such a sanctimonious act, damn it! He's better looking than Laozi, and he's even better at Laozi. It's infuriating..."
Everyone praised Young Master Tian. This move not only taught Yang Zhen a lesson but also helped Guan Guan, prevented Yang Zhen from getting angry, resolved a potential misunderstanding between the two, and demonstrated his expertise in alchemy.
Killing several birds with one stone!
How could such a person not become the focus of the entire event?
Yang Zhen and Guan Guan stared blankly at Young Master Tian, a look of bewilderment flashing in their eyes. They then exchanged a glance, squatted down, and moved to the side.
"Young master, Guan Guan has considered the material properties of the Year Metal Earth (a type of metal element) and even tried to counteract it with Geng Lin Liquid, but still failed. Do you know the reason?"
"Although Geng Lin Liquid can counteract the Year Metal Earth, and both seem to be mild, there is one characteristic of Geng Lin Liquid that you may have forgotten."
"What... characteristics?" Guan Guan's face turned serious, then she shuddered. "Wood element?"
Yang Zhen nodded and said, " Geng Lin Liquid originated at the time of the rise of Mu Chen Star. At that time, all things were already beginning to revive. The woody properties of trees and flowers had already affected Geng Lin Liquid. Although it was very subtle, it was enough to be fatal to the materials used to Origin-Stabilizing Pill."
Young Master Tian stared blankly at the two of them, frozen in place, unsure whether to advance or retreat, feeling incredibly awkward.
Neither Yang Zhen nor Guan Guan paid him any attention?
Everyone looked at Young Master Tian with awkward expressions. Who would have thought that such a gentle and refined Young Master Tian would be ignored by the two of them?
Not only did they ignore him, the two even squatted down and moved to the side. Although it was an unconscious action—they were both deep in thought and didn't want to be disturbed—it was still... wasn't that incredibly disrespectful to Young Master Tian?
Everyone was overthinking it. Yang Zhen didn't know Guan Guan was going on with Guan Guan, but he didn't mean to disrespect Young Master Tian. It was just Guan Guan Origin-Stabilizing Pill was unprecedented, which greatly surprised Yang Zhen.
As everyone knows, refining the Origin-Stabilizing Pill is a thankless task. Not only is the success rate extremely low, but various heavenly materials and earthly treasures also need to be used with reduced quality. Moreover, the refining method is so complicated that even Alchemy Grandmaster do not particularly enjoy refining this kind of pill.
However, Yang Zhen discovered Guan Guan if Guan Guan's refining method succeeded, it would not only save more precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but also simplify the refining process. More importantly, Guan Guan was actually thinking of increasing the success rate of pills by nearly five times.
This was a woman with wildly imaginative ideas, and also someone with exceptional skill in alchemy. Yang Zhen was astonished when he saw her.
Yang Zhen couldn't have come up with such a crazy idea, but after reading it, he knew that the method was feasible, as long as... five problems were solved!
Five problems! This is almost impossible to solve. Everyone knows that there can't be a single problem in the process of alchemy. Any one problem will cause a series of other problems. Whether it's the ratio of the Pill Formula, the selection of rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures, or even a slight change in the technique and temperature, it may cause a series of problems, and eventually all the efforts will have to be overturned and re-analyzed.
No wonder Guan Guan came to such a remote place. With all the overturning of calculations and explosions, who could stand it?
Seeing the look of surprise and uncertainty on Guan Guan's face, that kind of anxiety of having a direction but overturning everything, yet not knowing whether it can succeed, Yang Zhen suddenly thought of Dao Fanatic, that Long Legs. Both of them were so obsessed, except one was in Dao of Alchemy and the other in Martial Dao.
And then there's Hua Youyue, the young lady, whose serene expression occasionally flickers with a hint of bewilderment, making Yang Zhen's heart melt.
Yang Zhen suddenly took a deep breath and decided that after this matter, he would definitely spend more time with the young girl, at least accompany her through her tribulation and protect her as she attempts to break through to the Heaven Realm.
Yang Zhen was bored and lost in thought, not even glancing Guan Guan. In the end, he simply sat down on the ground and stared blankly at the sky.
This conversation almost completely overturned all of Guan Guan's deductions, even interrupting her Guan Guan thoughts and pushing them in a completely different direction.
Under these circumstances, Guan Guan had no way of deduce another possibility in a short period of time, and Yang Zhen finally stopped being so bored in the days that followed.
But Guan Guan's talent, how long will it take her to deduce new techniques? Five days? Ten days?
Yang Zhen looked at Guan Guan with great interest, then suddenly paused.
Guan Guan's eyes grew brighter and brighter, her lips curved slightly upwards, a playful yet slightly arrogant expression on her face. Finally, with a "Yay!" she lifted her tattered skirt and ran off!
Yang Zhen opened her mouth, completely bewildered, and before she could react, Huanhuan came back, lifting her tattered skirt, and squatted down in front of Yang Zhen, saying:
"Fellow Daoist, I've deduced it! Please wait for me here, okay? You must wait for me here. I'm coming right away! Don't go!"
Ta-da! Ta-da!
She lifted her skirt and ran off again.
Yang Zhen stared blankly at Guan Guan figure.
So... this was deduced?
What kind of monster is this?
There are always people more capable than you. Yang Zhen never expected that this seemingly delicate young girl would have such terrifying skill in alchemy.
Yang Zhen only mentioned one possibility, and she immediately grasped its meaning. If she were to actually deduce it, what would become of her?
This person is definitely a promising talent who could become Pill Saint (a high-ranking alchemist) in the future.
Yang Zhen became interested in Guan Guan's deductions and waved his hand, saying, "Go on, go on, I'll be waiting for you here, don't be late!"
Guan Guan paused Guan Guan a moment, then ran off at an even faster pace, lifting her skirt.
Yang Zhen never expected that the attention this alchemy session would garner in the Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain would far exceed his expectations.
