Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 379 - 378: Is There Any Justice Left?!

Whether it was Qin Hongxiao or the Danxia Ancestor before him, both had cultivation and Dao practice far beyond Gu Yuan’s, rendering him unable to discern their true foundations.

Gu Yuan and his companion did not dare to make a sound, standing quietly to the side, saying nothing, silently waiting.

The Danxia Ancestor was clearly refining pills at the moment and seemed to be pondering over some issue, so it was best not to disturb him.

Although Gu Yuan wasn’t speaking, his eyes were curiously and earnestly glued to the Danxia Ancestor’s every move.

It was a rare opportunity, and Gu Yuan himself was a genius in alchemy. Encountering such an opportunity and learning something was only natural.

As far as Gu Yuan knew, on Medicine King Mountain, besides alchemists and alchemy masters, there were three alchemy masters and one alchemy grandmaster.

Previously, Gu Yuan’s martial uncle, Situ Yan, was an alchemy master, with alchemy technique that was peerless; he could easily refine ordinary spirit pills.

Even some upper-grade spirit pills were no issue for him.

As for Gu Yuan himself, because he had been studying and comprehending alchemy for a relatively short time, he wasn’t necessarily able to refine some upper-grade spirit pills.

This was due to his lack of experience.

However, owing to his talent, Gu Yuan had managed to refine a few spirit pills that only alchemy masters could produce.

Regarding other upper-grade spirit pills, if given the time to familiarize himself with their medicinal properties and understand the control and management of the fire, he could actually learn very quickly.

Therefore, Gu Yuan was now at the level of a quasi-alchemy master.

As long as he refined more pills in the future and accumulated enough experience, advancing to an alchemy master would be a natural progression.

He Ling True Master and Situ Yan both told Gu Yuan that the only alchemy grandmaster on Medicine King Mountain was actually the Danxia Ancestor before him.

The ancestor’s alchemy technique had reached an unsurpassed level, capable of turning the mundane into the extraordinary.

Thus, Gu Yuan could now understand the Danxia Ancestor’s pill refining process and watch with great pleasure.

However, if it were someone who had not learned alchemy or had no enlightenment in alchemy, it would be all darkness before their eyes.

For instance, the He Ling True Master right beside him was totally in the dark; he could wield a flying sword to fight, but to have him ponder over alchemy would be completely lost on him, utterly unintelligible.

Not to mention, the Danxia Ancestor’s level in the alchemy dao far exceeded Gu Yuan’s by several times!

The techniques in controlling the true flame, seemingly simple and casual, often had their own purpose.

Even the smallest movements had their intentions.

And in controlling the true flame, extracting the essence of the spirit medicine, eliminating impurities, and mastering the medicinal properties, there was a seamless flow, a transformation from decay into divinity.

Watching this left Gu Yuan deeply impressed, greatly benefited, itching to try, and extremely excited, almost wishing he could step up and refine a furnace of elixirs himself.

However, when Gu Yuan saw the Danxia Ancestor throw a pitch-black herb into the pill furnace, he was momentarily stunned, though he made no sound, his expression was somewhat unusual.

He Ling True Master noticed Gu Yuan’s small actions, glared at him, and signaled him to behave.

At this moment, the Danxia Ancestor waved to issue a spell, stabilizing the true flame beneath the pill furnace, then looked at Gu Yuan:

"What? Do you think what I’m doing is wrong?"

Gu Yuan came to his senses, quickly saluted, and then said honestly, "Forgive my rudeness. My alchemy knowledge is shallow, and I cannot perceive the deep meaning behind you throwing this Black Candle Grass at this moment, Ancestor."

The Danxia Ancestor paid it no mind and simply said, "The pill I am refining in this furnace is called Jade Radiance Pill, which has the effect of clearing heart demons and inner demons, and purifying Yin Spirit impurities. Its medicinal properties lean towards Yang, but the majority tend to be mild."

"As for this Black Candle Grass, it has the effect of neutralizing Blast Primordial Qi and medicinal properties. It’s used at this time just right, or else when the pill forms, it would be too late."

As he spoke, the Danxia Ancestor gave Gu Yuan a glance: "Had I delayed by another breath earlier, it would have reduced the Pure Yang medicinal properties by a thousandth, rendering the medicinal properties of this batch of pills impure, thus wasting most of it."

"I see; I’ve learned a lot!"

Gu Yuan showed a look of sudden realization and quickly saluted respectfully.

"However, young man, you’re not even twenty yet, and your cultivation is quite good. You can even understand some of my alchemy nuances, seems your alchemy skills aren’t bad either?"

After retracting his spell, the Danxia Ancestor slowly rose and looked at Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan felt something, feeling utterly exposed under the other’s gaze, with a chill running through his body as if all secrets were laid bare.

The Danxia Ancestor came to the main hall, chose not to sit on the main seat but instead found a random stone chair to sit on, and scrutinized Gu Yuan from head to toe:

"Hmm, your swordsmanship is quite good, especially your physique cultivation has nearly reached Golden Core Great Perfection level, even surpassing your useless master."

Hearing this, He Ling True Master’s expression remained unchanged, respectfully acknowledging, though inwardly, he was quite shocked, with waves surging in his heart, feeling a bit speechless.

He was just thinking about what to do if Gu Yuan surpassed him in the future, but he never imagined Gu Yuan had already surpassed him, leaving him at a loss for words.

Considering how much effort and years of cultivation it had taken him to reach his current realm.

But Gu Yuan?

If he recalled correctly, Gu Yuan should have been cultivating for less than two years.

Is there no justice or natural order anymore?

As for Gu Yuan, he remained composed and said nothing.

"Hmm? Wait, good heavens..."

At this point, a flicker of surprise crossed the Danxia Ancestor’s eyes, and then he withdrew his gaze, calming his emotions. He gave Gu Yuan a deep look and said cryptically, "I never would have thought..."

He never finished what he thought, but Gu Yuan vaguely felt that his secrets might have mostly been perceived by the Danxia Ancestor before him.

Fear gripped his heart.

Damn, these Yang Spirit mighty ones, each one of them is truly formidable.

Even though he exerted all his efforts to hide, it still couldn’t escape them.

Just when Gu Yuan was feeling anxious, the Danxia Ancestor smiled, no longer scrutinizing him, but instead looked at He Ling True Master, speaking with meaningful implications: "Looks like you’ve picked a good disciple!"

"My luck has been good; I’ve let the Ancestor have a laugh."

In the presence of the Danxia Ancestor, He Ling True Master dared not speak rashly.

Despite his reputation as a Golden Core Great Cultivator and being the ninth elder of Medicine King Mountain, holding a high position there.

But in terms of status and power, the truly formidable ones are still the Danxia Ancestor and Lord Zhu Que, these two Yang Spirit mighty figures!

They have cultivated for thousands of years, possessing profound and unfathomable power, renowned across the world as top-tier figures!

They were not far from reaching the realm of Primordial Spirit True Immortal.
