171: Xun'er: Even if I am laughed at, I still want to

High above in the sky, the raging energy storm finally dissipated after lasting for more than ten minutes.

As the storm faded, the collapsed space gradually repaired itself, and warm sunlight once again poured down from the sky, illuminating the mountaintop.

With the storm gone, gazes instantly turned towards the sky.

There, a young figure stood in the air; the terrifying energy storm earlier had failed to harm him in the slightest.

“Daddy is so amazing!”

Little Xian Le clapped her hands happily, looking at the figure in the sky that everyone was focused on.

Seeing her elder sister Xian Le so happy, Wushuang also smiled with her, her chubby little face extremely endearing.

“Wushuang, your Daddy just refined a Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill, let’s go congratulate him!”

“Mommy, what is a Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill? Is it delicious?”

“Of course it’s delicious, but you can’t eat it now, it will upset your stomach!”

Caier and Xiao Yi Xian showed joyful expressions. After a few words, they both carried their children and flew towards the mountain peak.

Xun'er watched this heartwarming scene, feeling incredibly lonely. She also wanted to go up and congratulate him, but what identity should she use?

“No, if I can’t even take this step, how will I have a chance to reconcile with Gu Fei Gege in the future…”

After an internal struggle, Xun'er finally mustered her courage and walked forward.

Even though she knew that going there would likely lead to being ignored and becoming an object of ridicule… “Is this the power of Black Demon Lightning…”

In the sky, Gu Fei sensed the dissipating storm, and his taut body slowly relaxed. He clenched his fist slightly, and a numb sensation spread from his fist.

The incomparably overbearing power of the Black Demon Lightning was somewhat beyond his expectations.

If not for his overbearing Physique, comparable to the bodies of some Ninth-Rank Demonic Beasts, even the residual lightning, which had been intercepted several times by his Dou Technique, would have severely injured him.

If a few more bolts came, with his current strength, he would only be able to flee.

After all, he did not yet possess the ability to directly devour lightning; just now, he had only managed to refine it with difficulty using his powerful physical body and his unique flame.

If Gu Fei’s unique flame could possess devouring power like the Void Swallowing Flame, then he could try to visit the Void Lightning Pool.

There, there were countless Black Demon Lightning bolts, comparable to the Lightning Pool passed down by the Lei Clan.

“Still trying to run?”

Below the alchemical cauldron, the lid flew open, and a streak of light shot towards the distance.

Seeing this, Gu Fei’s figure flickered, appearing like a ghost before the streak of light, and he reached out to grab it.

“Roar!”

Facing Gu Fei’s grasp, the streak of light rapidly expanded, instantly transforming into an extremely massive and ferocious Demonic Beast.

The Demonic Beast, formed from the Medicinal Pill, swung its massive claws with a sharp gust of wind, striking at Gu Fei with a single paw.

“Bang!”

Fists and palms met, and the ferocious Demonic Beast immediately let out a pained howl and flew backward.

Seeing the Demonic Beast being sent flying, Gu Fei smiled and pursued it again.

Seeing Gu Fei chasing again, the Demonic Beast’s body once again erupted with intense light.

Its body also rapidly shrank, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a human figure.

As the light dissipated, Gu Fei was momentarily stunned, because there, another “Gu Fei” stood in the sky.

“Interesting, so this is a Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill? It can even transform into a human form.”

Seeing the other party transform into his own likeness, Gu Fei couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

“Roar!”

The Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill, transformed into “Gu Fei’s” appearance, clearly did not understand human speech.

Therefore, at this moment, it could only continuously let out some incomprehensible roars at Gu Fei.

“Ninth Grade Medicinal Pills are so magical!”

“It can actually transform into a human form, isn’t it becoming a spirit?”

This sudden change in the sky also attracted many curious gazes.

Ninth-Grade Treasure Pills were extremely rare, even for the Gu Clan members present, so when they saw this Medicinal Pill actually transform into a human form, they all exclaimed in wonder.

“Eh, Mommy, why are there two…”

“Wushuang, that’s a fake!”

Little Wushuang exclaimed in surprise, looking at the Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill in the sky that had transformed into Gu Fei’s likeness.

However, before he could finish his sentence, Caier covered his mouth with her hand. If the little fellow had finished his words, that Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill might have taken advantage.

In the sky, Gu Fei did not entangle himself with the Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill for too long.

He seized an opportunity, grabbed it with his palm, sealed it, and then swiftly flew over, pointing his finger at the latter’s forehead.

Under attack, the Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill’s body also trembled rapidly, then quickly shrank, transforming into a perfectly round Medicinal Pill, entirely emerald green and about the size of a Dragon’s eye.

The Medicinal Pill floated on Gu Fei’s palm.

Layers of Medicinal Pill mist emanated from within this perfectly round Medicinal Pill, swirling around it, appearing extraordinarily magical.

“Gu Fei, congratulations, congratulations!”

“To be able to refine a Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill at such a young age, your great name will surely spread throughout the alchemy world of the continent in the future…”

After Gu Fei put away the Medicinal Pill, a Gu Clan Elder appeared and congratulated him.

After him, several more people appeared, congratulating Gu Fei.

Without exception, all of these people were Gu Clan Elders who had reached the Dou Sheng cultivation level.

Previously, Gu Fei might have only been valued for his identity as a Prodigy.

But now, with his strength as a Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill Grandmaster alchemist, he already possessed the powerful capital to be taken seriously by even these Dou Sheng powerhouses.

Because, even Dou Sheng powerhouses.

There would be times when they needed to seek out Gu Fei, this Treasure Pill Grandmaster.

If Gu Fei were to achieve the Great Grandmaster of Profound Pills, perhaps everyone in the clan, except Gu Yuan and Gu Lie, would scramble to curry favor with Gu Fei.

“All you elders, this junior was merely lucky!” Facing everyone’s congratulations, Gu Fei acted humbly, not at all arrogant.

“Husband, congratulations to you!”

“Gu Fei Gege, you are so amazing! Next time, can you also refine a Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill for me to eat… Don’t worry, I’ll provide the medicinal ingredients myself, I won’t let you suffer any loss!”

Next, Caier, Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, Zi Yan, and others also came to offer their congratulations.

“Gu Fei Gege, Xun'er also congratulates you; your alchemy skills have reached a new level!”

Amidst the crowd, a clear voice rang out. Hearing that voice, many people turned their gaze to the speaker.

The speaker was none other than Xun'er, Gu Fei’s ex-wife.

Her appearance here undoubtedly made the atmosphere a bit awkward.

Everyone in the Gu Clan knew that after Gu Fei and Xun'er got married, there was no marital intimacy between them.

Moreover, it was said that during the marriage, Xun'er paid special attention to and cared for another man, which ultimately led to their divorce.
