Mundane Saint
Chapter 25 – Meng Yirou's little heart can't hold on any longer
Bai Fei'er was extremely excited, while Meng Yirou was stunned, but Gu Heng paid no attention to either of them.
His eyes were tightly shut, arms outstretched, as if he were lifting a mountain of flames.
Of course, this was just for show.
When Gu Heng usually refined pills, he would adjust the fire and then sit aside, waiting, as there was nothing else to do.
He could control the fire in the pill furnace with just his mind, but he couldn't possibly have no movements while refining medicine, especially with two beautiful girls watching. He had to make it look convincing.
Meng Yirou's expression was captured perfectly by Gu Heng.
Hmm? Quite calm.
No worries, soon you'll see what "showing off" really means!
Finally, inside the furnace, the fire was stable, and Gu Heng could see the three pills taking shape.
"They're about to form!"
Meng Yirou suppressed her inner excitement. She wanted to see what kind of pills could be refined from materials with seven completely different attributes and violently conflicting properties.
Although these materials hadn't exploded due to their conflicting properties, which was enough to surprise this Divine Medical Saintess, ultimately, no matter how precise the refining technique, the final product had to be seen.
Bai Fei'er was also watching nervously, not daring to miss a single detail, afraid of missing anything.
And at that moment—
Gu Heng suddenly moved, swinging his arm, releasing a large amount of white mist from the furnace, with a rich fragrance. Meng Yirou looked up, her gaze seemingly piercing through the roof, her expression changing!
In the sky, dark clouds gathered, as if thunder was brewing!
The formation of the pills was causing a phenomenon in the heavens and earth! That indicated eighth-grade spiritual pills!
But she sensed three forces of the same magnitude, yet with completely different powers of Exotic Thunder!
This Medicine Hall, no, the entire Greenwood City, couldn't withstand the Exotic Thunder. Only a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator could take the Exotic Thunder unscathed.
But if the alchemist went to intercept the thunder, the final process of pill formation would be uncontrolled, likely causing a massive loss of medicinal power, resulting in failure.
What would he do?
Meng Yirou was very nervous, already starting to worry for Gu Heng.
Then she felt the true intent around Gu Heng surge into the sky, dispersing the brewing thunder tribulation in an instant!
And then, nothing happened.
"This..."
Meng Yirou was truly dumbfounded.
She had never seen a phenomenon of heaven and earth being forcibly dispersed by the alchemist before it even appeared!
As for Bai Fei'er, she hadn't even noticed the emergence of the phenomenon, only Meng Yirou, being an alchemist herself, could detect such subtle changes.
But no matter how surprised she was, the process of pill formation was undisturbed. Gu Heng opened the furnace, grabbed the pills, and the furnace fire stopped!
He casually took a porcelain bowl to catch them; the freshly made pills were hot.
"Done."
He said calmly.
It was then that Meng Yirou reacted.
"...Three pills!?"
When Gu Heng placed the bowl containing the three pills in front of Meng Yirou, she first doubted her eyes, but the fragrance was so clear, and each of the three spiritual pills had the same cloud pattern. She could even feel the completely different medicinal powers flowing within them, so no matter how much she didn't want to believe her eyes, she couldn't deny it was real.
She recognized these spiritual pills one by one.
Dragon Serpent Heart Stabilizing Pill, Thousand Lotus Rebirth Pill, Ice Jade Calming Pill.
All eighth-grade pills!
Meng Yirou's eyes widened. She recalled that when the phenomenon appeared, three completely different Exotic Thunders were brewing, and now looking at the three spiritual pills...
He actually refined three different pills in one furnace!?
And they were all eighth-grade pills!?
"This... this..."
Meng Yirou felt her heart tremble violently, not knowing what to say.
A quick look at "pawread.com" will leave you more fulfilled.
She suddenly felt that if her master was belittled by him, it was indeed nothing, because the person before her not only formed three pills at once, but they were all different types of eighth-grade pills.
No wonder he threw all those conflicting materials into one furnace at once. Meng Yirou initially thought it was some unique formula created by Gu Heng, but now it seemed far more terrifying than creating a single pill. He used a terrifying refining technique to separate three completely conflicting medicinal powers, yet still managed to continue refining in the same furnace, even keeping the medicinal powers tightly controlled!
"You didn't expect me to refine three different pills at once, did you?"
Gu Heng saw Meng Yirou's expression, feeling quite pleased with himself!
Right, this kind of skill is meant to be shown off to pretty girls, to amaze them, that's the point.
Look at this wealthy young lady, thinking she learned a few tricks from those money-grabbing physicians, she was so proud of casually refining a pill. If he showed her refining seven types of pills in one furnace, she might kneel on the spot and call him "Master Gu."
"Young Master Gu, if I have offended you earlier, please forgive me!"
Meng Yirou apologized immediately, her attitude extremely sincere.
Such a master was not someone she could easily anger. Moreover, she was quite unconvinced when he taught her a lesson earlier, but Senior Gu was magnanimous, directly showcasing his superior skills. If she continued to hold her stance, it would be disrespectful.
"Sigh, no need to be so polite, I just wanted to tell you, there's much to learn in the path of alchemy."
Gu Heng smiled, continuing in a mature tone, but Meng Yirou listened with her heart surging.
Such a master, truly amazing!
She looked at Gu Heng with increasing admiration: "I understand, Young Master Gu's guidance today, I will remember for a lifetime!"
It seemed this girl was truly convinced.
Indeed, the skills taught by the System were quite useful.
"You can keep these pills as a memento."
He pointed to the three pills in the porcelain bowl. Of course, he knew the effects of the pills he refined. These three pills were quite simple: one prevented low blood sugar, one treated cold constitution, and one refreshed the mind. They weren't particularly valuable, so he might as well give them to her.
After all, she was willing to step into his shabby Medicine Hall, so she was a guest, wasn't she?
"This... this is too precious, I can't accept it!"
Meng Yirou refused on the spot.
She knew how precious eighth-grade spiritual pills were, let alone these three, which not only used high-quality materials but also showed such strong control over the medicinal power by the alchemist. The quality of these pills was definitely astonishing, and Senior Gu was actually giving them to her?
But just after refusing, Bai Fei'er nudged Meng Yirou's waist, smiling: "Just accept it, Young Master Gu has some peculiar principles, if you don't take it, he might be unhappy."
