Chapter 78

Afterwards, Gu Xuan also explained to Yang Wudi again the general events after he entered Tian Dou Royal Academy.

Yang Wudi couldn't help but marvel at Gu Xuan's heaven-defying luck; while studying, he not only found a partner but also picked up a Binghuo Liangyi Yan?

At that moment, Yang Wudi noticed changes in Gu Xuan: his original black short ponytail turned into red shoulder-length hair, two clusters of blue bangs like dragon whiskers fell from his forehead, and his pupils, one red and one blue, became heterochromatic.

Yang Wudi could hardly imagine that Gu Xuan's appearance had undergone such a huge change in just over a month?

In fact, when Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong first saw Gu Xuan, they felt the same way, but after hearing the explanation they relaxed, for this was Gu Xuan's opportunity.

Moreover, Gu Xuan also explained the dragon patterns on the backs of his hands, letting them know that these were actually the inheritance marks of the two Dragon Kings.

However, Gu Xuan temporarily didn't reveal too much, as doing so would only invite more trouble.

Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and Dugu Bo now only needed to know that they had gained an extra foundation.

After roughly understanding Gu Xuan's recent opportunities, Yang Wudi, aside from marveling at his luck, could only feel uncontainable excitement.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Sect is not lacking in pharmacists, but the only family with a true alchemy inheritance within the sect is the Po clan; now Gu Xuan also said he would entrust the Binghuo Liangyi Yan to them to manage—how could they not be excited?

That is the Binghuo Liangyi Yan, one of the three great treasure basins, a blessed land containing countless medicinal herbs and also the perfect base for cultivating them.

With the Binghuo Liangyi Yan, Yang Wudi can guarantee that the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect will absolutely experience an explosive increase in strength, and at the same time the status of his Po clan will also rise.

Now, because of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect's past help and Gu Xuan being his closed-door disciple, Yang Wudi can be said to have already devoted his heart to the sect.

Therefore, each of these matters makes Yang Wudi unable to contain his excitement.

However, Gu Xuan currently does not intend to let Yang Wudi go to the Binghuo Liangyi Yan, since he has already brought back many immortal-grade herbs and spiritual materials, letting Yang Wudi refine them within the sect to first boost the sect's strength, then later go to the Binghuo Liangyi Yan.

Moreover, he does this because Gu Xuan still needs to stay at the Binghuo Liangyi Yan for a period, during which he does not want others to disturb him, and he himself needs to concoct some pills.

So Gu Xuan directly voiced his idea, and after hearing it Yang Wudi promptly slapped his chest, guaranteeing there would be no problem.

He even longs for those immortal-grade herbs and countless spiritual materials to refine pills; for an alchemist, this is not merely a task but rather a reward for him.

After deciding which pills to concoct, Gu Xuan directly handed over the storage Soul Tool containing the inventoried spiritual materials to Yang Wudi, who received it solemnly, as if completing a major ritual.

After receiving the storage Soul Tool, Yang Wudi's eyes rolled, and he said: "Um... Little Xuan, Teacher, may I discuss something with you?"

Gu Xuan smiled faintly: "Teacher, there's no need for formalities; just bring up any problem directly to the student."

Yang Wudi smiled satisfiedly and said: "Those pills you just listed, if refined with immortal-grade herbs and these spiritual materials, would be of considerable benefit even to a Titled Douluo; Teacher has been stuck at the Soul Douluo level for years, making slow progress, and is now only rank eighty-two."

Having said that, Yang Wudi turned his gaze to Ning Fengzhi, after all he is the sect leader and such major matters need his decision.

Only seeing Yang Wudi continue: "Therefore, I hope the sect can grant me a share of the pills once they are refined."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan and Ning Fengzhi exchanged glances and laughed; only Gu Xuan was heard saying: "Teacher, what are you saying? Once these pills are refined, you may keep a share for yourself—this can be considered repayment for your guidance."

"After all, if it weren't for your generous imparting of pharmaceutical knowledge and alchemy techniques to us students, we wouldn't have been so fortunate to seize this opportunity."

Hearing this, Yang Wudi nearly leapt up in excitement—each kind of pill he could keep a share of? If he fears that, relying on these pills, he might still have a chance to break through to Titled Douluo in the future.

Yang Wudi is no ordinary person; he is a grandmaster of alchemy—even before the pills are formed, he can know exactly how effective the future concoctions will be.

And Gu Xuan's saying this naturally came after consulting with Ning Fengzhi; Yang Wudi himself has decent talent, and his strength completely defies the normal combat power of a Soul Master.

Don't look at him being only rank eighty-two; in the original story, his eighty-two-level self could fight on par with a ninety-three-level Snake Spear Douluo.

If Yang Wudi truly manages to break through to Titled Douluo, he might very well become another Titled Douluo whose chief attribute is attack power, following in the footsteps of Sword Douluo Chenxin.

Moreover, Gu Xuan sometimes wonders: if Teacher really breaks through to Titled Douluo, with the title "Spear", and together with Second Uncle Chenxin announcing their names, what a grand sight that would be.

Furthermore, in his previous life a saying circulated online: "Seven Treasure Glazed Sect produces glass, refreshing and invigorating Yang Wudi!"

If we were to let the still Soul Douluo Yang Wudi go fight a Titled Douluo, perhaps there would be a bit of bragging, but if we wait until he breaks through to Titled Douluo and then has Ning Fengzhi's assistance, this saying could truly come true.

After explaining all this, Yang Wudi directly went off excitedly to concoct pills, also wanting to immediately test the efficacy of the immortal-grade Youxiang Qiluo.

Meanwhile, Gu Xuan, Ning Fengzhi, and Gu Rong went to the main hall; on the way, Gu Xuan had Ning Fengzhi compile a very detailed list.

The list recorded elders of Soul Douluo rank and, within the sect, the outstanding young talents with exceptional aptitude; moreover, these people are all absolutely loyal to the sect.

The list totals fifty-six people, among whom sixteen are elders and forty are rising stars.

Of these sixteen elders, three are at the eighty-nine rank peak, while another thirteen elders have a chance to break through to Titled Douluo in the future, so they are also included in the list.

The forty rising stars were selected from nearly a thousand young Soul Masters in the sect; the youngest is twelve years old and has already reached rank twenty-seven.

The oldest is thirty years old and has reached rank sixty-one; all of them have the potential to aim for Titled Douluo in the future.

Once Yang Wudi finishes refining the pills, the first to receive them will be this group.

Even if they cannot all reach Titled Douluo in the future, having just one-third of them achieve it would be enough, and this group will absolutely become the backbone of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect.

Even if they fail to break through to Titled Douluo, with their innate talent they can still cultivate to Soul Douluo in the future.

Furthermore, with the aid of those pills, even if they do not break through to Titled Douluo, they will definitely be the top among Soul Douluo.

Thus, the strength of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect will definitely see a huge increase.

If those three Soul Douluo peak elders manage to break through to Titled Douluo, then the sect's current strength could already be elevated another level.

These three elders had previously taken whale glue as well, but still failed to break through as desired; perhaps the quality of the whale glue wasn't sufficient, after all the best had been given to the two Bone Sword Titled Douluo.

Although what they received wasn't bad, their talent still cannot compare to that of the two Bone Sword Titled Douluo, so their failure to break through is understandable.

But even if it's just piling up, Gu Xuan must still provide it for them; otherwise his previous investment would have been wasted.

ps: Typos will be corrected later.
