945: Chapter 946 Guiding Dan Wuya
Nine patterns!
Each and every one bore nine pill patterns, their luster flawless and halos gently shifting. That was the ultimate realm of Alchemy, a ceiling that countless alchemists exhausted their entire lives struggling to touch.
Yet at this moment, this legendary sight was vividly presented right before his eyes, and there were even ten of them?
Exactly ten, without a single flaw, as if the most difficult thing in this world was merely a casual feat in Gu Changge's hands.
Ancestor Dan Wuya's lips trembled unceasingly, his eye sockets turning slightly red. His obsession with studying Alchemy entirely transformed into reverence at this moment, his voice hoarse and broken:
"Ten entire nine-turn nirvana pills! This old man has exhausted his entire life and couldn't even hope to reach a single one. Young Master's alchemical attainment has long since transcended the mortal realm, surpassing all alchemists across the heavens!"
As the Old Ancestor of Tiandan Pavilion, with a half-step Supreme alchemical cultivation base, he had always considered his alchemical achievements to be quite remarkable, yet today he finally knew that above Alchemy, there was still a higher Alchemy.
Everything he took pride in was as insignificant as dust before this young man.
Pavilion Master Danchenzi froze in place, the Jade Slip in his hand that recorded the nine-turn nirvana pill Pill Formula dropping to the ground with a clack, yet he remained completely oblivious.
He recalled that when he previously refined Heavenly Venerate-grade Medicinal Pills, just to produce one extra pill pattern, he would often spend several months, experimenting repeatedly and failing countless times.
Yet Gu Changge, from opening the furnace to forming the pill, took no more than half an hour. Not only did he refine Supreme-grade nine-turn nirvana pills, but he also produced ten at once, and every single one had nine patterns!
Gu Changge ignored the shock of the two men, casually placing the ten Medicinal Pills into a jade bottle and tossing it to Pavilion Master Danchenzi:
"Keep them well. Use one to treat Heavenly Venerate Qinghua's injuries, and dispose of the rest as you see fit."
Pavilion Master Danchenzi flurriedly caught the jade bottle, holding it in his hands as if supporting a mountain weighing thousands of jin, his heart almost leaping out of his chest.
Ten!
Those were ten nine-turn nirvana pills!
Any single one could serve as the Sect's treasure to be passed down for ten thousand generations. If it leaked out, it would be enough to cause various major forces in the Barren Domain to break their heads fighting for it.
He had originally thought that given the preciousness of such a divine object, if Gu Changge could bestow two or three, it would already be a tremendous favor.
Yet he never expected that Gu Changge would hand over all ten so casually and lightly!
What kind of generosity was this? What kind of Foundation was this?!
He carefully opened the bottle cap, and a rich medicinal fragrance that almost materialized rushed toward his face. Just by taking a breath, the spiritual power that had been blocked in his body for many years instantly surged and became active, and the internal consumption left from handling Sect affairs for days was completely resolved.
Pavilion Master Danchenzi's heart beat wildly. He hurriedly closed the bottle cap tightly, afraid that even a wisp of pill Qi leaking out would attract covetous eyes. He solemnly put the jade bottle close to his body, bowing to the extreme with his back trembling slightly:
"Young Master's great grace, Tiandan Pavilion will remember it in our hearts for all eternity! This Junior represents Qingming Heavenly Palace and the Beichen Jiang Family to kowtow and thank Young Master for bestowing the pills!"
It was not only Heavenly Venerate Qinghua who was heavily injured by the Death Qi of the Supreme tomb, but also a Jiang Family Heavenly Venerate.
Gu Changge waved his hand, his expression indifferent, as if he had just done a trivial matter.
He turned his head to look at Ancestor Dan Wuya, and seeing that he was still staring blankly at him, he casually said:
"Your alchemical Foundation is very solid, but your path has become narrow."
Ancestor Dan Wuya suddenly snapped back to his senses, shuddering all over. He quickly pricked up his ears, afraid of missing a single word.
"You wanted to refine this furnace of pills far too much."
Gu Changge's voice was very faint, yet it was like an invisible knife, precisely dissecting the deepest obsession in Ancestor Dan Wuya's heart.
"You have been trapped at the half-step Supreme for too long, so long that you pinned all your hopes of a Breakthrough on this single furnace of pills. Every time you opened the furnace, you told yourself that this time you must succeed.
Your heart was strung far too tight, so tight that at every juncture where you needed to follow the natural flow, you subconsciously chose to exert excessive force."
Ancestor Dan Wuya trembled all over, as if struck on the crown of his head by a thunderbolt. He had never examined himself from this perspective.
He had always thought that his problem was that his techniques were not skilled enough and his heat control was not precise enough, never imagining that the problem lay within his heart.
He wanted success too much.
This obsession caused him to fall short of success every time he was about to touch its edge due to exerting excessive force.
In an instant, countless scenes of failed Alchemy flashed rapidly through his mind. Those Bottlenecks that had stuck him countless times and where pills failed to form were now crystal clear.
"Alchemy is like water, flowing with the current. The harder you try to grasp it, the more it will slip through your fingers."
Gu Changge raised his eyes and cast a faint glance at him, a wisp of alchemical Qi quietly passing into Ancestor Dan Wuya's Sea of Consciousness. Ancestor Dan Wuya shuddered violently, and the Bottleneck that had been dormant within his body for hundreds of millions of years suddenly cracked open with a huge gap.
That invisible barrier of the half-step Supreme unexpectedly generated a clear Opportunity for a Breakthrough under these few short words and a wisp of Dao Rhyme.
Pure pill power surged and circulated autonomously through his limbs and bones, and his cultivation base, stuck at the Peak for countless years, began to rise slightly. The confusion accumulated in the depths of his eyes for hundreds of millions of years completely dissipated, leaving only the clarity of enlightenment.
As long as he diligently Cultivated, in the near future, he would definitely become a Supreme.
His knees softened slightly, almost causing him to kneel on the spot. In his heart surged unspeakable excitement; an insoluble predicament of countless years had actually been pierced through by the Young Master in just a few words!
Gu Changge did not elaborate further, only saying faintly: "In future Alchemy, first harmonize Yin and Yang, then refine the medicine embryo, and do not blindly seek fierce fire."
Subsequently, Gu Changge shifted his gaze to Pavilion Master Danchenzi, who was still somewhat dazed: "Pavilion Master Danchenzi, when can the medicinal herbs I asked you to prepare earlier be ready?"
Pavilion Master Danchenzi gave a start, instantly snapping back to his senses, and hurriedly bowed to say:
"Replying to Young Master, I have already arranged for the Pavilion Elders to prepare according to Young Master's list with all their might! Within three days, they will definitely be ready!"
At this moment, how could he dare to show the slightest negligence? The Medicinal Pills casually refined by this lord were comparable to a Supreme Legacy, and his Tiandan Pavilion up and down would probably have to live under his breath from now on.
"Mn." Gu Changge nodded, turning around and walking out of the pill room.
"Once the medicinal herbs are ready, I will naturally come to fetch them. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
Pavilion Master Danchenzi hurriedly stepped aside to make way, secretly breathing a sigh of relief in his heart, yet vaguely feeling a bit lost. If this great deity could stay a bit longer, even if it were just casually pointing out a few things, it would be a tremendous Opportunity for Tiandan Pavilion.
The stone gate slowly opened inwards, and on both sides of the corridor outside, the Tiandan Pavilion Elders and Heavenly Lord Qingming, who had been waiting for a long time, simultaneously raised their heads.
Although they hadn't followed inside earlier, they had been waiting outside the pill chamber. With their Heavenly Venerate cultivation base, how could the fluctuations around the Heaven-grade pill room be hidden from them?
That terrifying pill Qi, even separated by the Pavilion-protecting grand formation and the formation's stone walls, made their hearts leap and their souls yearn.
"Greetings, Young Master!"
"Greetings, Young Master Gu!"
Everyone shouted in unison, their voices causing the corridor to hum.
Their gazes, without exception, were all tightly glued to Gu Changge, carrying awe and fanaticism.
Gu Changge's expression remained unchanged, his footsteps not stopping. When passing by Heavenly Lord Qingming, his steps paused slightly, and turning his head to glance at him, he said faintly:
"The Medicinal Pills are ready, you can just go find the Pavilion Master to collect them."
