940: Chapter 941 Why should I help you?
Pavilion Master Danchenzi then turned around, leading a grand entourage through the crowd and drawing sideways glances from the surrounding Cultivators.
"Is the Pavilion Master going after that person?"
"Nonsense, would you not chase him if it were you? That is someone capable of completing ancient Pill Formulas!"
"Go, go, go, follow them and take a look!"
A large crowd of onlookers also followed behind, the procession growing larger and larger until the entire street was stirred up.
However, Pavilion Master Danchenzi chased for three streets, yet did not even see a single white-clothed figure.
He stopped his footsteps, his gaze sweeping across the shops and alley entrances on both sides of the street, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter.
"Search separately," he said in a deep voice, "After finding him, treat him with the courtesy of a distinguished guest, and do not neglect him."
"Yes!"
The Elders received their orders and left, each leading people to scatter into various parts of the city.
Pavilion Master Danchenzi walked beside Heavenly Lord Qingming, and said in a low voice, "Pavilion Master Dan, since this person could complete the first monument, perhaps he can also complete the eighth monument."
Heavenly Lord Qingming nodded, unable to help clenching his hands tightly; no matter what, he must find him.
Meanwhile, in an inconspicuous inn's second-floor private room in the southern part of the city,
Gu Changge was sitting by the window, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, looking at the Tiandan Pavilion Elders and watching Cultivators running hurriedly on the street downstairs with a calm expression.
Xiaobai stood behind him, poked her head out to take a look outside the window, and muttered, "Master, they seem to be looking for you."
"Looking for me?"
Gu Changge was slightly startled, his Divine Sense swept across the entire Dan Imperial City, and he instantly understood the cause and effect.
He hadn't expected that casually completing an incomplete Pill Formula could cause such a commotion.
He had just glanced at it twice earlier, thinking that the Pill Formula was not bad and it was a pity that it was incomplete, so he casually completed it.
Who would have known it would create such a big commotion.
Half an hour later, a neat sound of footsteps came from downstairs of the inn.
A Tiandan Pavilion Elder leading several stewards stopped in front of the inn's door, raised his head to look at the sign, and walked in quickly.
Not long after, a knock on the door sounded.
"Senior, Junior Xu Yuanchang, an Elder of Tiandan Pavilion, acting on the Pavilion Master's orders, specially came to invite Senior to go to Tiandan Pavilion for a chat."
The voice outside the door was respectful, carrying cautious probing in its tone, for fear of disturbing the person inside the room.
Gu Changge put down the teacup and glanced at the door.
The entire Dan Imperial City was the territory of Tiandan Pavilion, and he had not deliberately concealed his whereabouts, so it was within expectations that the other party could find this place.
Xiaobai stood aside, and asked in a low voice, "Master, will you meet them or not?"
Gu Changge pondered for a moment; casually completing a Pill Formula could cause such a big commotion, and if he avoided meeting them, it would instead appear deliberate.
Furthermore, Tiandan Pavilion controlled the spiritual materials of the entire city, and future Alchemy would inevitably require dealing with them, so meeting them wouldn't hurt.
"Come in."
The door was gently pushed open, and an old man with white hair and beard walked quickly into the room, seeing the white-clothed youth sitting by the window.
He immediately bowed and saluted, his attitude extremely respectful:
"Junior Xu Yuanchang, Elder of Tiandan Pavilion, greets Senior. The Pavilion Master has already prepared tea and pastries in the pavilion, respectfully awaiting Senior's grand arrival."
Gu Changge glanced at him and stood up: "Lead the way."
Xu Yuanchang turned aside to guide the way, making a "please" gesture: "Senior, this way please."
Gu Changge slightly nodded and stepped forward, with Xiaobai and Jimie following closely behind him on the left and right, their expressions indifferent.
Xu Yuanchang led the way in front, his attitude respectful to the point of being nearly cautious.
He had lived for tens of millions of years, and as an Elder of Tiandan Pavilion, wherever he went on ordinary days he was an existence respected by people.
But walking beside this white-clothed youth at this moment, he felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.
That was not a deliberate coercion, but a natural Qi field, as if this young man was born to stand in high places, looking down on all living beings.
He did not dare to ask more, only lowering his head, honestly leading the way in front.
Crossing three streets and bypassing a huge medicine market, the outline of Tiandan Pavilion's main building appeared in view once again.
But different from before, in front of the main building's door, a group of people stood at this moment.
The one at the head was none other than Pavilion Master Danchenzi, whose crimson-gold robe emitted a warm luster under the setting sun.
Behind him stood seven or eight Elders, each with deep auras, clearly all core figures of Tiandan Pavilion.
Seeing Gu Changge's figure appear at the street corner, Pavilion Master Danchenzi hurriedly greeted him, stopped at a place three steps away from Gu Changge, and solemnly cupped his fists:
"I am Pavilion Master Danchenzi of Tiandan Pavilion, greeting Young Master. May I ask how Young Master is addressed?"
"My surname is Gu."
Pavilion Master Danchenzi nodded repeatedly: "So it is Young Master Gu. Was it you who completed the first monument in the square just now?"
"Done casually." Gu Changge's tone was calm.
Done casually?
Pavilion Master Danchenzi's mouth twitched slightly.
A Pill Formula that Tiandan Pavilion had researched for three million years without being able to decipher, you casually completed it?
But after all, he was a person who had seen great storms and waves, and he quickly adjusted his emotions, turning aside to make way:
"Young Master Gu, please enter the pavilion for a chat. I have prepared top-quality spiritual tea, and I ask Young Master to honor us with your presence."
Gu Changge did not decline, and stepped into the pavilion.
Tiandan Pavilion's main building was situated right in the center of Dan Imperial City, the entire pavilion shrouded by a layer of faint spiritual light.
That was the fluctuation emitted when the pavilion-protecting grand formation operated, which ordinary Cultivators could not approach at all.
Entering the first-floor hall, facing them was a three-zhang-tall copper statue of a Pill Furnace, its body engraved densely with ancient Pill Formulas.
On both sides of the hall were displayed various medicinal material specimens and pill bottles, and the air was permeated with a faint medicinal fragrance.
Pavilion Master Danchenzi did not stay, leading Gu Changge through the hall and walking up along the stairs all the way to the top floor.
The door of the top floor was wide open, and inside the door was an elegantly arranged parlor, with a red sandalwood long table placed in the center, and the fragrance of tea curling on the table.
Pavilion Master Danchenzi cupped his fists in salute: "Young Master, please sit."
Gu Changge did not stand on ceremony, walked to the table and sat down. Xiaobai and Jimie stood behind him and took their seats in turn.
Pavilion Master Danchenzi sat down opposite him, personally poured a cup of tea for him, and only then spoke:
"Young Master may not know, the Primordial Return-to-Origin Pill on that first monument is related to reshaping the dao foundation."
My Tiandan Pavilion exhausted three million years of effort and failed to complete it, but today Young Master casually did it, which not only fulfilled a long-cherished wish of my Tiandan Pavilion, but is also boundless Karma benefiting Cultivators across the entire Desolate Region.
This grace, Pavilion Master Danchenzi will never forget.
He paused slightly, looking at Gu Changge with burning eyes, and continued:
"According to the ancestral precepts of my Tiandan Pavilion, anyone who can complete ancient incomplete monuments shall be a distinguished guest in the pavilion."
My Tiandan Pavilion can make a move for them once, even if it means becoming enemies with Heavenly Lord forces."
When Pavilion Master Danchenzi said this, there was a bit of arrogance in his tone.
Tiandan Pavilion has inherited for hundreds of millions of years, with profound foundation and spreading across the Desolate Region; even those Heavenly Lord forces occupying one side dare not easily provoke Tiandan Pavilion.
The weight of this promise, he believes anyone can weigh clearly.
However, when he raised his eyes to look at Gu Changge, he found that the other party's expression was as calm as water, as if that promise was just a most ordinary polite remark.
Pavilion Master Danchenzi's heart tightened slightly; he had lived for countless years and had seen all kinds of people.
Those who were overjoyed, fearful and trembling, or feigning calm yet unable to hide the excitement in their eyes after hearing Tiandan Pavilion's promise, he had seen them all.
But like Gu Changge, who truly didn't care at all and didn't even raise an eyelid, this was his first time encountering such a person.
This young man either did not know the weight of Tiandan Pavilion, or his vision and confidence far exceeded his own imagination.
Pavilion Master Danchenzi suppressed the shock and suspicion in his heart, and continued to speak outwardly without changing expression:
"Of course, with Young Master's ability, perhaps Tiandan Pavilion's move will not be needed."
But this promise is permanently valid; if Young Master has needs in the future, it can be invoked at any time."
Only then did Gu Changge slightly nod, his tone calm: "Pavilion Master Dan has put in thought."
Just this one sentence, and nothing more.
Pavilion Master Danchenzi waited for a moment, confirming that he had no other words to say, and could not help but smile bitterly in his heart.
It was truly the first time encountering someone who received a heavenly favor, yet whose expression did not even change a bit.
He no longer entangled himself in this matter, personally refilled hot tea for Gu Changge, and seemingly casually brought up:
"Ashamed to say, my pavilion has obtained the pill monuments for tens of millions of years, and there are still seven that have not been comprehended to this day..."
He stopped halfway through his words, picked up the tea cup in front of him, and secretly sized up Gu Changge's expression with the corner of his eye.
At this moment, Heavenly Lord Qingming, who had been sitting at the lower seat with an anxious expression, finally could no longer hold back.
He stood up with a "swish" and said to Gu Changge:
"Young Master Gu! To not hide it from Young Master, my Junior Brother Heavenly Lord Qinghua is currently heavily injured and dying, on the verge of death."
The Pill Formula of the eighth monument, the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Pill, is precisely the only hope to save him!
Today, seeing Young Master Gu complete the first monument with extraordinary Alchemy, I wonder if Young Master can help deduce it a bit or two."
After hearing this, Gu Changge did not answer immediately.
He picked up the teacup, took another sip, and then slowly spoke: "The Nine Revolutions Nirvana Pill, I can deduce it, and I can also refine it."
A trace of joy flashed through Heavenly Lord Qingming's eyes.
"However," Gu Changge raised his eyes, his gaze calm, "Why should I help you?"
Dear readers, sorry to keep you waiting. After revising for a long time, it is finally finished.
