Refining Ruins Cauldron

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyun immediately perked up.

"Please explain further, Elder."

"Ordinary medicines are mild and have a mild effect; it's definitely impossible to recover in a short time."

Elder Huo Qian said firmly, pausing for a moment before continuing.

"But if you can get a Golden Core cultivator to nourish your meridians with their own spiritual power and stimulate the pill's production, it might have a miraculous effect within three days."

Ordinary people naturally cannot invite Golden Core cultivators.

But Gu Qingyun is not necessarily a bad candidate.

He paused for a moment, then smiled helplessly.

Gu Qingyun did think of Nalan Feixue, but unfortunately, the other party was the peak master of Tiandu Peak, a Golden Core cultivator. How could she possibly go to such lengths for an outer disciple like him?

"Elder Huo Qian, is there any other way? I can endure any hardship and suffering," Gu Qingyun asked again.

"That's it. This is the best and only solution."

Elder Huoqian shook his head.

"Your meridians are severely damaged. If you force it without the assistance of a Golden Core cultivator, your foundation will be completely destroyed, cutting off your path to cultivation. In severe cases, you may even die on the spot."

After hearing these words, Gu Qingyun remained pale but fell silent.

After a long silence, he finally said in a hoarse voice, "Please trouble Elder Huo Qian to help this disciple to his feet."

I am too weak now to even get up.

"What do you want to do?" Elder Huo Qian asked curiously.

"Please, Peak Master, make a move."

……

Gu Qingyun, leaning on his cane, went out and came to the neighbor's courtyard alone.

It was here that Nalan Feixue treated Luo Mei's injuries.

Gu Qingyun did not go in directly, but knocked on the door, bowed slightly, and greeted the guests.

Despite the pain, he respectfully said, "Peak Master, your disciple Gu Qingyun requests an audience."

There was no response from inside, nor any other movement.

Gu Qingyun did not give up and persisted, maintaining the gesture of bowing.

And this stop lasts for one hour.

As darkness turned to light, the first rays of morning sunlight scattered across the earth and shone upon Gu Qingyun.

Only at this moment did Nalan Feixue's voice come from inside.

It remained quiet and still, like an ancient well without a ripple.

"Enter."

Gu Qingyun's body was numb on one side, and coupled with his exhaustion and pain, he could no longer distinguish between the two.

Using his crutch, he opened the door and stepped forward, one step at a time.

"explain."

Gu Qingyun stopped, but Nalan Feixue did not raise her eyebrows.

"I implore Peak Master Nalan to intervene and heal my injuries. I wish to continue participating in the outer sect martial arts competition."

Gu Qingyun respectfully expressed his thoughts, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and bowed his head.

Nalan Feixue remained expressionless, her demeanor unchanged.

"reason."

"This disciple does not want to lose, and this disciple can produce a top-grade elixir."

As he spoke, Gu Qingyun took out a bottle of top-grade Rejuvenation Pills.

Open it and pour it into your palm.

Those four red lines were clearly visible, a hallmark of top-grade quality, impossible to fake.

The fragrance of the elixir filled the air and quickly permeated the entire courtyard.

Just one puff is enough to make you feel refreshed and relaxed.

Finally, Nalan Feixue was moved, and her gaze fell on Gu Qingyun for the first time.

As an alchemist, she knew very well what it meant to refine a top-grade elixir, even if it was only a first-grade elixir!

"You're saying you refined all these Rejuvenation Pills?!"

"good."

Gu Qingyun nodded.

Since Manager Shen was an outsider, Gu Qingyun naturally had to be careful not to expose the secret.

But Nalan Feixue is different. Putting aside how many of her secrets she can hide in front of the Golden Core Realm, she is different.

The fact that the other party had saved him twice was enough for Gu Qingyun to treat him differently.

Nalan Feixue not only made it clear that she was not interested in his own opportunities, but also wanted to take him as her disciple after he became a third-grade alchemist.

All of this made Gu Qingyun realize that the other party was not a despicable person like Bai Feng.

Although I didn't refine the Supreme Returning Origin Pill myself, it truly came from my hands.

Having no other choice, Gu Qingyun could only lie.

However, no one can easily expose this lie.

"However, the Guiyuan Pill is indeed of the highest quality, but it is not something that has been refined; it does not contain any spiritual fire aura."

Nalan Feixue's words struck Gu Qingyun squarely at his weak point.

He paused for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening.

How could pills refined in an alchemy furnace possibly lack even a trace of fire?!

Gu Qingyun could fool others, but he couldn't fool Nalan Feixue.

"Fine, the fact that you can produce a top-grade elixir shows that your opportunity is extraordinary. I won't pursue the matter further, and it wouldn't hurt to lend you a hand this time."

Hearing that Nalan Feixue had not pursued the matter, Gu Qingyun visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, within three years, you not only need to become a third-grade alchemist, but you also need to refine top-quality third-grade pills. Do you dare to agree?"

Nalan Feixue looked at Gu Qingyun with an unusually calm expression, as if she were saying something completely ordinary.

To become a third-grade alchemist after three years, one still needs to refine a top-grade third-grade pill. This level of difficulty is as high as ascending to heaven.

Even Nalan Feixue back then might not have been able to do it.

"Don't try to get away with this. Since I've given you a chance, I'm capable of taking it back. Think it over before you speak."

Nalan Feixue added another sentence.

Gu Qingyun remained silent. It was an insurmountable challenge, but so what?

If you agree but fail to do so, you might be dismissed or even killed.

If I don't agree, I might die tomorrow.

At least three years remain!

Where there's time, there's possibility!

Gu Qingyun might not have been able to do it before, but things are different now!

"Disciple understands, please, Peak Master, make your move!"

Gu Qingyun solemnly agreed.

Come here.

Having received a response, Nalan Feixue didn't intend to waste any more time and invited Gu Qingyun inside.

He did as instructed and took the medicine to heal his injuries. With the assistance of a Golden Core cultivator, the effect was greatly enhanced.

The spiritual energy, gentle as water, flowed through the body, carrying the medicinal power and repairing the nearly depleted meridians.

Even a Golden Core cultivator with meticulous control over spiritual energy dares not act rashly at this moment.

After all, Gu Qingyun's meridians are extremely fragile now, and if he exerts too much force, they will all collapse.

At best, they become disabled; at worst, they die on the spot. The consequences can be severe or minor.

Gu Qingyun wasn't idle either. He silently circulated the "Qi Circulation Technique" and, in conjunction with Nalan Feixue's energy cultivation, accelerated the recovery process once again.

In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed.

Nalan Feixue's forehead was covered in sweat. She slowly withdrew her hand and let out a long breath.

Even she had to be extremely serious when faced with such a complex injury to her meridians.

They were terrified that they might accidentally send Gu Qingyun away.

"Alright, I'll see you off one more time. Take the Autumn Dark Fruit."

"Thank you, Peak Master."

Gu Qingyun quickly did as instructed and swallowed the Autumn Nether Fruit.

Although it was not refined and was consumed directly from the original fruit, its medicinal properties remained intact.

The Autumn Fruit is not difficult to swallow; on the contrary, it melts in the mouth and is absorbed by the entire body in the blink of an eye.

But Gu Qingyun knew that this was only the beginning.

Sure enough, the dormant medicinal power finally erupted!

Fortunately, Nalan Feixue helped, otherwise, just this one blow would have damaged the meridians that had just healed.

"A 40% probability?"

"bring it on!"
