BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 74: Taking the Emperor Supreme Pill

"It seems that Elder Gu He is really determined to continue alchemy."

In the courtyard, after waiting for nearly an hour outside, Yun Yun was convinced of the explanation given by Xiao Yi Xian.

Elder Gu He is indeed too crazy!

Looking at the calm alchemy room, Yun Yun's eyes flashed with a hint of shock.

Consecutive attempts at refining high-grade sixth-rank pills, can he really handle it?

Since Gu He has already refined an Emperor Pill, Yun Yun still has some concerns.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, several hours had passed.

At this moment, the sky had darkened, and darkness gradually enveloped the entire Cloud Mist Sect.

Yun Yun and the others still sat quietly in the pavilion, waiting.

At this moment, the entire courtyard, just like during the day, suddenly trembled violently.

The sudden tremor made the three of them slightly startled, and their gazes involuntarily turned towards the direction of the alchemy room. There, an unusually rich energy fluctuation was rapidly taking shape.

"It seems that Elder Gu He is about to succeed again."

Feeling the rich energy fluctuation, a touch of joy flashed in Yun Yun's beautiful eyes.

...

Creak!

Sure enough, after half an hour, with the sound of the door opening, Gu He, dragging his exhausted body, slowly walked out of the alchemy room.

Seeing that Gu He had finally come out of the secret room, Yun Yun and the others waiting in the courtyard quickly greeted him.

When she saw the bloodshot eyes of the former, Yun Yun couldn't help sighing lightly. This guy, is he so crazy when refining pills?

"Teacher, are you okay?" Xiao Yi Xian looked at Gu He's tired appearance and couldn't help but feel distressed, approaching him and asking with concern.

Gu He shook his head slightly and then handed a jade bottle to Yun Yun, smiling, "Sect Master, fortunately, I didn't let you down."

Looking at the jade bottle handed over by Gu He, a hint of excitement flashed in Yun Yun's eyes. She took the jade bottle directly, looked at Gu He, and said with gratitude, "Elder Gu He, thank you for your hard work."

Gu He responded indifferently, "It's nothing. For an alchemist, alchemy is just a trivial matter. This bit of fatigue is nothing."

Yun Yun looked at the jade bottle in her hand, eager to break through, and said to Gu He, "Elder Gu He, it's late now. You've worked hard all day. Rest early; I won't disturb you."

Gu He nodded slightly, "Alright."

After that, Yun Yun led Nalan Yanran away from the courtyard.

"Teacher, are you okay?" Xiao Yi Xian asked with concern.

"I'm fine, well, you should rest too." After sending Xiao Yi Xian away, Gu He went back to his room.

Consecutively refining two Emperor Pills, Gu He was really tired at this moment.

Feeling the nearly depleted Dou Qi in his body, Gu He smiled bitterly, then sat on the bed, cross-legged, and began to restore the Dou Qi in his body.

...

Next day

The first light of dawn spread along the window and climbed into the room, finally shining on the elegant man sitting cross-legged on the bed.

Under the sunlight, the closed eyes of the elegant man trembled slightly. After a moment, they suddenly opened!

With the opening of his eyes, an exceptionally majestic aura, like an awakened lion, suddenly spread out from Gu He's body, filling the entire room.

The black pupils flickered with a substantial purple flame as Gu He's white robe on the surface of his body swayed without wind, making a continuous sound. After a good moment, the flames in his eyes slowly faded.

As the flames diminished, the robe on his body silently fell down, adhering to the skin.

Feeling the more vigorous Dou Qi in his body than yesterday, a trace of joy flashed in Gu He's eyes.

Although the crazy alchemy yesterday made him exhausted, he found that his Dou Qi had actually improved after enduring fatigue and practicing all night.

Although this improvement was only a trace, under the accumulation over time, the breakthrough was just a matter of time.

Gu He, even without the Emperor Pill, could break through to the Nine Star Dou Emperor realm within a few months.

For high-level Dou Emperors, each breakthrough requires a considerable amount of time.

Some take only one or two years, while others take more than ten years.

In comparison, a few months is nothing at all.

However, for Gu He, a few months is still somewhat long.

"It's time to find a place for a breakthrough."

Rising slowly, Gu He's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look.

The breakthrough of a high-level Dou Emperor creates an extremely astonishing momentum. Even if he sets up a barrier, some energy will still be released, making it easy for others to sense.

Now that Yun Yun has returned, breaking through in Cloud Mist Sect is no longer suitable.

Thinking of this, Gu He gave some instructions to Xiao Yi Xian and then left Cloud Mist Sect with Xiao Jin.

After arriving at Cloud Mist Sect, Gu He no longer cared. He directly let Xiao Jin reveal its true form, sitting on Xiao Jin's back, and quickly moved away from Gamma Sacred City.

Half a day later, Gu He, riding on Xiao Jin, arrived at a mountain range.

Arriving at the edge of a cliff, Gu He found a piece of bluestone and slowly sat down.

After a brief contemplation, his palm moved, and a jade bottle, resembling jade, appeared in his hand. Tipping the bottle, a dragon-eye-sized pill rolled out. Instantly, a unique fragrance spread, invigorating the spirit.

This pill was, of course, the Emperor Pill he refined yesterday.

The Emperor Pill's effect could enhance the strength of a Dou Emperor by one or even two stars. However, it depended on luck. Although there were cases where no improvement in strength occurred after taking the Emperor Pill, it had also happened. Unfortunately, even if it failed, taking a second pill would have no effect. Therefore, those who took Emperor Pills usually prayed in their hearts that such misfortune would not happen to them.

The pill rolled slowly on his palm, and after a while, Gu He finally let out a sigh. Opening his mouth, he quickly swallowed the pill.

The Emperor Pill melted in his mouth, turning into a slightly warm and surging medicinal force that crazily poured into Gu He's body.

As the massive and pure medicinal force surged in, Gu He's mouth trembled slightly. Fortunately, his meridians were quite resilient; otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to swallow such a huge medicinal force.

When the medicinal force quickly flowed through the meridians, Gu He took a deep breath. His mind moved, and his innate Flame burst out from various parts of his body, rushing into the meridians. It quickly wrapped around the massive medicinal force and forcefully guided these unruly entities along the route of the Flame Art, slowly setting them in motion.

As the medicinal force surged in Gu He's body, the surrounding space also violently fluctuated. Waves of energy emerged, forming energy vortexes above his head. Finally, they gently penetrated through his Heavenly Spirit Cover.

Having his own Flame and refining the somewhat mottled energy between heaven and earth posed no difficulty for Gu He. Whatever amount came, he could refine. As the medicinal force gradually dissipated in his body, everything began to slowly enter the right track. With Gu He's current ability, although the medicinal force of the Emperor Pill was immense, it would not make him feel panicked.

Everything proceeded smoothly, like flowing clouds and water. As for how much strength this Emperor Pill could help Gu He gain, that would only be known when the results were revealed.

After Gu He entered the slow refining state, the surroundings on the mountain peak became calm, with only Xiao Jin guarding the position beside him.
