Chapter 7: Seventh-Grade Alchemist, the Ancient Clan's Most Dazzling Alchemy Genius!

Gu Yao pondered for a moment, then summoned one of his trusted aides.

"Depart for the Northwest Continent immediately."

The aide looked up, slightly puzzled, only to see intense killing intent brewing in Gu Yao's eyes.

"Find Xiao Yan and eliminate that piece of trash!"

Terrified by his imposing aura and gloomy gaze, the aide broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly lowered his head to acknowledge the order.

Meanwhile, the assassin targeting Xiao Yan had already been dispatched.

On the other side, Gu Fei returned to the mountain peak.

After returning to his residence, he sat down to rest for a moment.

He then decided to begin refining a Seventh-Grade Medicinal Pill.

A Seventh-Grade Medicinal Pill; if released to the outside world, such a genius would shock a crowd of people.

How young Gu Fei is!

He is only sixteen years old!

To think he is already capable of refining a Seventh-Grade Medicinal Pill that many Alchemists cannot refine in their entire lives!

Any single one of these Seventh-Grade Medicinal Pills could fetch an astronomical price at an auction.

Many Seventh-Grade Medicinal Pills are already priceless treasures; the mere appearance of one could stir up a storm of blood.

Previously, the system had raised Gu Fei's Alchemy to the seventh level.

Naturally, Gu Fei had also mastered a vast number of Seventh-Grade pill formulas.

Gu Fei did not sleep last night, and his thoughts were not only about Xun Er's marriage.

More of them were about this Seventh-Grade Medicinal Pill.

Since he had already mastered a large number of pill formulas, he naturally had to start attempting to refine them.

This time, what Gu Fei intended to refine was a type of Pill capable of increasing a Dou Zong's cultivation by one star.

It is called the Ti Hai Pill.

It is a Seventh-Grade Medicinal Pill that is priceless and hard to find on the market.

After all, the advantage of the Ti Hai Pill lies in this.

After taking it, not only can it increase one's cultivation by one star at the Dou Zong stage, but most importantly, it has absolutely no side effects!

There will be no situation of an unstable foundation; a single Pill can directly allow a Dou Zong expert to increase their cultivation by one star.

For this Seventh-Grade Medicinal Pill, even a Seventh-Grade Alchemist would have to spend a great deal of time, and there is even a possibility of failure.

Why did Gu Fei want to attempt to refine a Seventh-Grade Medicinal Pill?

He recalled the pill formula provided by the system in his mind and muttered to himself.

"Just consider it killing time."

Yes, a Seventh-Grade Medicinal Pill that an ordinary Seventh-Grade Alchemist would need to prepare for weeks or even a month to begin refining.

A part of the reason for Gu Fei's alchemy this time was actually to kill time.

The cooling-off period for the divorce is exactly one month; perhaps by the time the Pill comes out of the furnace, the time will have passed.

Once prepared, Gu Fei set up a barrier outside the room.

He certainly did not want any idlers to disturb him should he reach a critical juncture.

It would be bad if it caused the alchemy to be delayed.

Days passed one by one, and the two protagonists never appeared in the Ancient Clan.

The discussions regarding Gu Fei and Xun Er faded away.

After all, they naturally only have the desire for gossip when they see the protagonists.

Now that both people are gone, who knows what they went to do.

Moreover, daily cultivation is very busy.

On the mountain peak, Gu Fei sat cross-legged by the window, eyes closed quietly.

The small and exquisite alchemy furnace in front of him emitted a faint luster.

A faint medicinal fragrance swirled in the room, appearing and disappearing.

Until half a month later, Gu Fei suddenly opened his eyes.

The sky above the mountain peak where he was located had long since changed completely.

Outside the mountain, the sky was clear for ten thousand miles, with sunlight shining everywhere.

Above the mountain peak, however, dark clouds were gathering.

Among them, there was also rampant Pill Lightning mixed in.

The Pill Lightning was incredibly thick, making one feel a lingering fear just looking at it.

The Pill Lightning first gathered rapidly at the clouds, then struck down as fast as lightning.

It smashed directly onto the house at the mountain top.

The sound and the impact startled quite a few people of the Ancient Clan nearby.

They ran over one after another to watch.

Among them were also several Alchemists.

An Alchemist who held considerable prestige among the younger generation looked at the Pill Lightning in the sky, stunned.

He gasped in disbelief.

"This must be the Pill Lightning that only appears when a Seventh-Grade Medicinal Pill is born!"

Although there were only a few Alchemists among the surrounding crowd, they all understood how precious a Seventh-Grade Medicinal Pill was.

One of the young girls began to exclaim in admiration, her face still carrying a yearning for the strong.

"I never imagined that Brother Gu Fei's cultivation progress would far exceed that of ordinary people, and his attainments in pill refining are also extremely high!"

"Indeed, Brother Gu Fei is only sixteen... Miss Xun Er really shouldn't have done that!"

A more prestigious member of the Ancient Clan said, with a hint of regret in their eyes.

After all, Miss Xun Er is also a person of extremely high talent; her union with Gu Fei would surely have allowed the Ancient Clan to reach even greater heights.

However, Miss Xun Er has another man in her heart...

The surrounding discussions were endless, mostly carrying a tone of admiration.

And these emotions of admiration and envy generated by many people toward Gu Fei were all flowing into the system.

【Gu Tian generates an emotion of admiration, Emotion Value +1】

【Gu Yan generates an emotion of admiration, Emotion Value +1】

【Gu Yaqin generates an emotion of adoration, Emotion Value +1】

These fine, dense trickles of Emotion Value were all being collected by the system.

Gu Fei listened with satisfaction as the Emotion Value points were credited one by one.

Although small, even a tiny stream can gather into a vast ocean, can it not?

And the final notification sound made the corners of his mouth curl up.

【Xun Er generates an emotion of depression, Emotion Value +100】

So Xun Er had come as well, and was currently among the surrounding members of the Ancient Clan.

Of course, no one there had discovered Xun Er's arrival yet.

Only Gu Fei's system had exposed her.

At this moment, Xun Er was hiding in the shadows, looking up at the house on the mountaintop just like the people around her.

She could not help but recall that she had been living there just a few days ago...

If Gu Fei had not proposed a divorce, would she also be one of the people everyone envied right now?

Instead of being pitied by everyone, pitied for not having chosen the other man.

Xun Er heard all the discussions of the crowd, as she already possessed profound cultivation.

Those noisy sounds of discussion were like knives and swords, piercing into her ears and stabbing into her heart.

Originally, shouldn't she have been indifferent to everything regarding Gu Fei?

Why, upon hearing the discussions of this group, did a feeling of depression surge in her heart?

Xun Er felt very bitter inside.

Biting her lower lip with her teeth, she frowned and looked up at the distant mountaintop.

Xun Er's gaze was vacant, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Although Xun Er did not like Gu Fei, her appreciation for the strong still brought her here.

Because Xun Er had sensed the disturbance in this area early on, like the pressure of a high-grade Pill about to be born.

She had rushed over, intending to join in the excitement.

After all, her father Gu Yuan had been truly angry at the time, even announcing that he would ground her for a month.

She would only be allowed to move freely once Gu Fei came to find her father again.

Deep in her heart, Xun Er began to blame Gu Fei unconsciously.

Half a month passed, and when she sensed that a high-grade Pill was about to be born here, she snuck out while Gu Yuan was not paying attention.

On the way, Xun Er was still in high spirits, thinking that it was another elder of the Ancient Clan who had refined a high-grade Pill.

Who would have guessed that the one who refined the Seventh-Grade Medicinal Pill was actually Gu Fei.
