Gu Shuo thought for a while and said: "The first day of each month is the time for the Dan Palace assessment. Let's set the time for communication on the next day."
"good!"
Everyone chatted for less than a quarter of an hour before they dispersed. Gu Shuo sent them away and began his daily practice and elixir refining. His main focus now is the Soul-Yun Dan.
Another seven days passed like this, and Gu Shuo finally, with the help of Zong Mu, refined the top-grade Spirit-accumulating Pill. From this day on, Zhonghe Shop no longer sold the Spirit-Gathering Pill, and only sold one kind of elixir, the Top-grade Spirit-accumulating Pill. . This made all the monks in Citizen know that Gu Shuo had successfully refined a top-quality elixir, and his reputation was becoming more and more known in Citizen. When it came to the end of this month, Gu Shuo refined the best Bigu Pill.
The next day.
When Gu Shuo came to Tianmeng, he did not go to the Library Pavilion. Instead, he went to the third floor, which was the examination room for Hong-level alchemists. As soon as they walked up to the third floor, they saw more than seventy monks standing there. When they saw Gu Shuo walking up, they all stepped forward to salute.
Although Gu Shuo's current reputation has not spread throughout Citizen, he is still very famous in the alchemy community of Citizen.
If he only succeeded in refining the best body-tempering liquid, it would not attract the attention of the alchemy world.
But now, there are so many top-quality body-tempering liquids, top-quality warming and nourishing liquids, top-quality spirit-gathering pills, top-quality spirit-enhancing pills, and top-grade fasting pills, which have caused a sensation in the alchemy world.
Although these elixirs still belong to the category of Huangshi, their level is very low. But with Gu Shuo's growth rate, it is very possible to refine higher-level elixirs in the future.
These monks were not surprised at all when they saw Gu Shuo coming to the third floor to assess the Hong-level alchemist.
Isn't it normal for an alchemist who can refine desolate-level elixirs to be of the highest quality, to be able to refine flood-level elixirs?
Many of these alchemists heard that Gu Shuo spent all day in the library and secretly visited Gu Shuo. However, these are not high-level alchemists. Like Gu Shuo, they are now desolate-level alchemists, so There are no high-level alchemists, such as Hong-level or Yu-level alchemists, who look down upon and disdain Gu Shuo, but they all respect Gu Shuo very much.
Gu Shuo also returned the greetings one by one and communicated with everyone.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, a voice came from the corridor: "Quiet."
Everyone was silent for a moment, looking for a voice, and then they saw a middle-aged monk walking over with a gloomy face, his eyes sweeping over everyone:
"This is a place for assessment, not an open-air market. What are you doing? Do you still have the nobility of an alchemist?"
Having said this, his eyes fell on Gu Shuo: "I don't think you are worthy of becoming an alchemist at all."
Gu Shuo's expression was indifferent. With his level of cultivation, it was easy to sense that the other party was malicious towards him, or that he didn't like it. But Gu Shuo's mood is not wavering. He is not a spiritual stone and cannot be liked by everyone. There are many reasons why the other party doesn't like him, so he won't bother to think about why the other party doesn't like him.
Seeing Gu Shuo's indifferent expression, the monk's eyes stayed on Gu Shuo for a while before leaving. Then he opened the door and walked in. Everyone also filed in, and Gu Shuo stood casually in front of an alchemy furnace. The monk still spoke according to the rules, and then said:
"let's start!"
This time the test involved refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, and Gu Shuo did not require himself to refine the top-grade pill, so his movements were very smooth. The monk's eyes fell on Gu Shuo from the beginning of the alchemy. When he saw Gu Shuo's smooth movements, there was a trace of sigh in his eyes, but at the same time, there was also doubt in his eyes.
Where did this kid come from?
Will he be a real casual cultivator?
It's normal for casual cultivators to pass the exam, but it's not normal for them to be so smooth.
What is his identity?
The foundation-building elixir was refined without any surprises, and the full number of desolate-level elixirs was thirty-six in one batch. The full amount of Hong-level elixirs is twenty-four in a batch. Gu Shuo refined twenty-four foundation-building pills, all of which were top grade.
Even the assessment alchemist couldn't hide the shock in his eyes at this time. Even if he were to refine it, he wouldn't be able to reach this level. He was still not enthusiastic about Gu Shuo, but he didn't make any mistakes and completed the procedure smoothly.
When Gu Shuo came down from the third floor, the badge on his chest had turned into iron. The badge looked like a leaf with the word "Hong" engraved in the center.
From this moment on, Gu Shuo has become an officially recognized Hong-level alchemist.
Gu Shuo's daily life remained unchanged, and he plunged into the library again. When I came out at dusk, I bought herbal medicines at the Alchemy Palace. As an alchemy master, I had another benefit: I could get a 50% discount on the price of buying herbs at the Dan Palace.
The next day.
As agreed, Gu Shuo came to the Xitieguan Branch of Shaoyang Sect to participate in the exchange meeting.
Ye Meng personally greeted Gu Shuo and drank tea with him. At the appointed time, he took Gu Shuo to a garden. This garden is very big, and there are many people coming here at this time. Gu Shuo glanced around and saw that there were enough people coming forward, including those alchemists who had participated in the assessment with him when he was in the Alchemy Hall yesterday. Gu Shuo naturally wanted to greet them first and asked about their assessment results.
Some people passed, some people didn't. Congratulations to those who passed, Gu Shuo. Gu Shuo encourages those who fail.
He also saw some alchemists who looked arrogant, looked down upon them, and even had a hint of disdain. As soon as his eyes glanced at their chests, he knew why.
Because the badges worn on the chests of these alchemists are made of copper and silver. The copper badges represent that they are universe-level alchemists, and the silver badges represent that they are universe-level alchemists. These alchemists naturally look down on the alchemists with iron and wooden badges. This is suppression and pride in rank.
Gu Shuo understands their psychology very well!
Although Gu Shuo can refine the best pills, he is still a wild-level alchemist.
All right!
Now he is a Hong level alchemist.
Although we cannot refine the best elixirs, we are universe-level alchemists, universe-level alchemists.
It is difficult to refine the best pills, but it is also difficult to break through from a Hong-level alchemist to a Zhou-level alchemist. Although you Gu Shuo can refine the best elixir now, but you want to become a universe-level alchemist, given ten years, can you do it?
When you become a universe-level alchemist, given a hundred years, can you become a universe-level alchemist?
This is the level of oppression and pride!
Then why did they come?
Naturally, they came to communicate with Gu Shuo. They hoped to get the method of refining the best elixir from Gu Shuo. But they have their own reserve, so they don't speak, they just listen and maintain their aloofness.
Gu Shuo didn't care about their psychology, and he never thought of keeping his understanding a secret. He also knew why so many people came here, so after greetings, he began to describe his methods and procedures for refining the best body-tempering liquid without any hiding.
All the alchemists who were listening had a look of astonishment on their faces. They were all alchemists, and they were at the lowest level of medicinal liquid refining. They could all tell the truth from the false, and they could all tell that Gu Shuo had no hidden secrets. If you can really follow the same refining techniques and procedures as Gu Shuo, you will definitely be able to refine the best elixir.
However, they also know that this is difficult, extremely difficult.
The head can understand, but the hands may not!
The process of refining the best body-tempering liquid mainly has two aspects. First, the process is cumbersome, and the control of fire and temperature has reached an extremely meticulous level.
This is not easy. It is already difficult to get into the subtlety, let alone reaching the ultimate level of subtlety?
If their alchemy was carved on a piece of wood, Gushuo's alchemy was carved on a hair.
The level of difficulty varies greatly!
Most alchemists immediately gave up in their hearts. If they had the time and energy, they might as well improve their alchemy realm. Only a few alchemists are ready to go back and try.
Those universe-level alchemists and universe-level alchemists couldn't help but shake their heads. Gu Shuo pointed out the way, but it was too difficult to walk. However, because Gu Shuo didn't hide his secrets, they had a much better impression of Gu Shuo. In the subsequent exchanges, there was a lot less reserve and pride.
After communicating with Gu Shuo, the universe-level alchemist Gao Tianshu said: "Master Yuehong, why do you spend so much time and energy studying the best pills?
If you put your time and energy into breakthroughs, I'm afraid you are now a universe-level alchemist, or at worst a universe-level alchemist. "
Gu Shuo said seriously: "I believe that sharpening a knife is as good as chopping wood. Try to consolidate each realm as much as possible. When you want to break through the realm, it will be much easier.
And I also have a dream, hoping that one day I can refine a heaven-level elixir. "
Gao Tianshu and the alchemists around him opened their eyes wide, looked at Gu Shuo in surprise, and then laughed.
"Master Yuehong, you are overthinking. Do you know the origin of the elixir?"
Gu Shuo cupped his hands and said, "Please tell me!"
"There are now cultivators, and then there are alchemists." Gao Tianshu said seriously: "In other words, at the beginning of human cultivation, there was no such profession as alchemists. It was some monks among the cultivators who wanted to find ways to assist their cultivation. Only then did the alchemist appear.
When the monks with the highest cultivation level in the human race were still in the Qi refining stage, they only invented elixirs such as the Spirit Gathering Pill and the Spirit Accumulating Pill. Since there is no Foundation Establishment Stage, how can there be a Foundation Establishment Pill?
At that time, the human monks relied on their great perseverance to naturally break through to the foundation building stage. When the human race breaks through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, they have an understanding of the realm of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and fully understand the process of breaking through the Foundation Establishment Stage. Only then can they invent the Foundation Establishment Pill.
And the so-called heaven-level pills should be used to assist people above the tribulation, right? "
"Yes!" Gu Shuo nodded.
"Tsk..." Gao Tianshu sneered and said: "The human monks have not found a way to break through the realm above the tribulation so far. Since they are not even above the tribulation, you tell me that you want to refine the realm suitable for the tribulation." Prepare for the heavenly elixir?
Are you sure you're not kidding? "
"Hahaha..." Those Yu-level and Zhou-level monks couldn't help laughing, and even the Huang-level and Hong-level monks also laughed out loud. But there were also monks who looked at Gu Shuo with admiration in their eyes.
Gu Shuo's state of mind remained unchanged, and his expression remained indifferent. The laughter of the monks around him gradually calmed down, and their eyes focused on Gu Shuo. Gao Tianshu, who was standing opposite Gu Shuo, looked a little unnatural due to Gu Shuo's blank gaze. Only then did Gu Shuo slowly speak:
"Master Gao Yu, you just said that at the beginning, the human race was only in the body tempering stage, and then step by step, the human race progressed to Qi training, foundation building, pill formation, Nascent Soul, and now the tribulation. Tens of thousands of Over the past few years, the human race has been working hard to overcome the tribulation. Since the human race has been able to reach the present from its humble beginnings, I firmly believe that the human race will one day embark on the path of transcending the tribulation.
Don't you think so? "
"I..." Gao Tianshu was speechless. Does he dare to say that it is impossible for the human race to take the path of transcending tribulation?
Don't dare!
This is the right route!
This is the direction that all human beings strive for.
If he dares to say that it is impossible for the human race to take the path above the tribulation, he will be isolated from the human race from now on.
"This is just one of them!" Gu Shuo continued: "I am just a Hong Master now. Above Hong Master, there are Zhou Master, Yu Master, Huang Master, Xuan Master and Earth Master. Gao Yu Master can become Yu Master Master, you should know that this road to promotion is not easy. Therefore, when I become an Earth Master, I don’t know how long it will take, but it will definitely be a long time. And during this long time, once the human race Has anyone broken through to transcend the tribulation?
So, are all my preparations in vain? "
There was silence.
Gu Shuo smiled and continued: "Thirdly, compared with the long years, my life is so short. Maybe by the time I die, the human race will not appear above the tribulation. I have not developed a heaven-level elixir. . I have not even become a prefecture-level alchemist. But I use this as a purpose to record my life's research and leave a legacy to human alchemists, so that they will avoid detours. Once in a certain era after my death , the human race has emerged beyond the tribulation, and the human race alchemists can research heaven-level elixirs faster. This can be regarded as a contribution to the human race alchemists."
"Pa bang bang..."
Someone started to applaud, and then the applause started like a flood.
Gao Tianshu looked ashamed and bowed deeply to Gu Shuo. Gu Shuo stretched out his hand to help.
So far, Yue Tonghui's reputation has resounded throughout Xitieguan.
Half a year passed in a hurry.
midnight.
Gu Shuo sat cross-legged in the room, carefully transporting the spiritual energy in his body.
"Qiang!"
With a sword cry, a sword energy shot out from Gu Shuo's body and shot into the ground, leaving a sword hole.
"call……"
Gu Shuo exhaled a long breath. After half a year, he finally forced out a sword energy. There were still twelve in his body. However, after this experience, Gu Shuo was sure how fast he could force out the sword energy. It will get faster and faster.
In the past six months, Gu Shuo has cultivated the fifth divine charm of the ninth level of divine transformation, and has also become a yellow-level alchemist.
Becoming a yellow-level alchemist did not cause a sensation in the alchemy community of Citizen. Because all the alchemists believe that Gu Shuo's level should have reached the yellow level alchemist long ago, but he has not passed the assessment. Otherwise, it would be impossible to take the assessment once a month and pass every time. And when Gu Shuo passed the Huang-level alchemist assessment, he never took the assessment again, which made all the alchemists even more convinced of this.
