Transmigration: The Peerless Immortal Husband

After the alchemy session on the plaza ended, the entire Alchemist’s Cauldron City was shaken.

Not to mention the cases where some alchemists, after watching Gu Yao’s alchemy, had insights and even made breakthroughs on the spot, but after the session ended, some footage was spread. In these clips, the pills that flew out of the furnace were all top-grade pills, which made the eyes of every cultivator redden with envy.

In Gu Yao’s hands, top-grade pills seemed to be produced without effort. It was no wonder that those around him had their cultivation levels increasing as easily as drinking water. With top-grade pills at their disposal, their cultivation could even leap up by three levels.

Even though Gu Yao still couldn’t refine Tianyuan Pills, his fame in Alchemist’s Cauldron City was unparalleled, even surpassing Hu Ting, a Golden Dan Alchemist, and the number one figure on Tianlin Continent, Chi Changye. Chi Changye’s formidable combat strength was his own, while Gu Yao’s exceptional alchemy skills had allowed him to elevate a whole group of people. It was clear who was more valuable.

Of course, these two working together was an unbeatable combination.

An assistant in charge of mundane affairs from Hu Ting’s side walked in, bringing a task. He gritted his teeth and said, “The merchants and cultivators in the city are hoping that Gu Yao will auction off some top-grade pills. This is the question that everyone who visited the guild in the past few days has been asking about.”

Aside from this matter, there was also something else. Several cultivators had come to inquire if Gu Yao was accepting disciples, even bringing their children along, hoping that Gu Yao would personally examine their children’s talents. If he was satisfied with their potential, they hoped he would take them on the spot. If not for Gu Yao seeming to have both spirit stones and resources, many of them would have tried to use spirit stones and resources to bribe him into taking their children as disciples.

Hu Ting immediately ordered for these people to be stopped at the door. Gu Yao was in a period of growth and had no intention of accepting disciples. If he had such an intention, he would have made an announcement long ago.

Gu Yao smiled and said, “So it’s about this. No problem. Half of the pills from this alchemy session can stay with the guild, and the other half can be auctioned off. Just find a reliable merchant for me.”

The assistant, hearing this, didn’t expect the guild to take a share. That meant if he worked hard, he might have a chance to get some top-grade pills himself. He quickly nodded, saying, “Okay, okay, rest assured, Master Gu. I’ll take care of it. I’ll make sure everything is done perfectly for you.”

After receiving the instructions, the assistant hurried off. Soon, the Alchemist’s Guild announced that they would be auctioning off a portion of the top-grade pills personally refined by Gu Yao, and at the same time, two low-grade Tianyuan Pills would also be auctioned. The auction was scheduled for fifteen days later.

The main guild had special communication channels with its branches, so the news quickly spread to the various branches. As soon as it reached them, the excitement was overwhelming. At the same time, countless cultivators rushed toward Alchemist’s Cauldron City, including those from Shifang City, which had become much quieter in comparison.

After handing over the pills, Gu Yao didn’t get involved any further, leaving any trivial matters to Tian Feirong. Whether he was exchanging alchemy techniques with other alchemists or the guild’s elders, or wandering around Alchemist’s Cauldron City in disguise with Chi Changye, he would gather various known and unknown spiritual herbs to satisfy his research interests.

The changes in Alchemist’s Cauldron City were becoming increasingly obvious. More and more cultivators gathered there every day, all coming for the pill auction.

Occasionally, in taverns, people would gossip. Besides talking about Gu Yao and Chi Changye, they would discuss the latest news from Tianlin Continent, or the newly famous young talents. Though these talents couldn’t compare to Gu Yao and Chi Changye, they were still quite remarkable in the grand scheme of the continent. In the past, such a gathering of outstanding cultivators had never been seen before.

If not for the more dazzling figures of Gu Yao and Chi Changye, these young talents would have stood out even more.

Gu Yao listened to the gossip and smiled, saying to Chi Changye, who was sitting across from him, “Listening to these cultivators, most of them are related to the Cangkun Secret Realm. After all, after going through battles and gaining resources from the secret realm, every cultivator who managed to come out has made considerable progress.”

Among these so-called talents, there were also Tian Feirong and the little chubby boy. One had a fortuitous encounter in the secret realm and established his foundation there, while the other successfully established his foundation after leaving the secret realm. Both of them had ordinary qualifications at first, so their news of successfully establishing their foundation attracted quite a bit of attention.

Chi Changye nodded and said, “The Cangkun Secret Realm is indeed remarkable.”

Of all the secret realms he had visited, the Cangkun Secret Realm was exceptional, rich in resources. The batch of cultivators it had created would likely become the backbone of Tianlin Continent in a few decades. Even those cultivators who could form their Golden Dan now had benefited from the Cangkun Secret Realm.

The influx of a large number of cultivators had put immense pressure on maintaining order in Alchemist’s Cauldron City. Currently, the guild took the lead in overseeing the city’s security, with several major businesses that initially helped establish the city also contributing funds. They hired cultivators to form a guard team, which was a good position since it provided nearby access to guild-provided pills.

Due to the mounting pressure, the guard team had to recruit more people to expand its ranks, attracting many cultivators. However, with two Golden Dan cultivators stationed in Alchemist’s Cauldron City, especially Chi Changye, the deadly weapon, who would dare to cause trouble during Gu Yao’s pill auction?

The scale of this auction could truly be described as a sea of people. The event was so grand that it would undoubtedly be recorded in history.

Gu Yao also hid his identity and went with Chi Changye to watch the event. Since a considerable number of top-grade pills were put up for auction, the prices weren’t as high as the ones in Shifang City previously. This was something Gu Yao was happy to see. If all the spirit stones from the forces across the continent were drained, it would be a loss for him as well. This was why he had no hesitation in putting half of the top-grade pills up for auction.

Now that Chi Changye’s strength guaranteed his safety, Gu Yao had no concerns about taking out top-grade pills.

After the auction ended, Gu Yao naturally gained a lot. The spirit stones alone were enough to bury him in a mountain of wealth. He sent most of them into his space. Since he no longer lacked spirit stones or top-grade pills, the spiritual energy in his space had undergone a drastic transformation compared to before. Now that Chi Changye was aware of the space’s existence, Gu Yao no longer needed to hide the transfer of spirit stones into it.

After a large number of spirit stones were sent into the space, not only did the space expand significantly, but the spiritual energy above it visibly began to churn. The spiritual herbs in the spiritual field grew rapidly, with the faster-growing ones quickly going through the process of maturing, fruiting, and regrowing roots. Gu Yao couldn’t help but feel fascinated by the sight.

“Senior, what grade is the spiritual field at now?” Gu Yao asked, turning to Xu Chen beside him.

Xu Chen answered indifferently, “It’s barely at grade seven. If you are willing to pour in medium-grade spirit stones or refine top-grade pills of grade seven as soon as possible, the spiritual field’s grade can stabilize at grade seven.”

Gu Yao was taken aback. The current spiritual field was enough for his use. The materials for refining Tianyuan Pills that he had kept were growing faster because of the spirit stones, but since the spiritual herbs themselves were of a high grade, it was impossible for them to complete the entire growth process at once. However, the time required for them to mature had been greatly shortened.

Since the spiritual field’s grade wasn’t high enough yet, most of the seeds he obtained from the stone tablet hadn’t been used.

Just as he was leaving the space, Tian Feirong arrived. “Gu Yao, the people from the Beixing Sect have sent an invitation to meet you. They want you to refine pills for them. They’re looking for top-grade healing pills, grade eight.”

“The Beixing Sect? They came to the auction too?” Gu Yao raised an eyebrow. He hadn’t inquired about the auction, but he knew that most of the forces who could make it had sent representatives. However, after the recent incident with the Beixing Sect, their disciples hadn’t been active in public. The sect leader had received a Tianyuan Pill, but there had been no news of whether he had entered seclusion to refine his Golden Core.

“Yes, Gu Yao, do you want to meet with them? Should I send a reply?” Tian Feirong asked.

“I’ll go meet them,” Gu Yao thought for a moment before responding. “The more Golden Core cultivators from the local area, the better.”

“Xiao Yao, I’ll accompany you,” Chi Changye said as he entered the room.

Gu Yao nodded, and the three of them went to meet the people from the Beixing Sect. The person who came was the Sect’s Grand Elder, a position that clearly demonstrated the sincerity of the Beixing Sect. Upon reflection, it was likely that the sect leader himself was the one in need of the top-grade healing pills.

When the Grand Elder of the Beixing Sect saw Gu Yao and Chi Changye approaching together, he immediately understood the nature of their relationship. He didn’t hide his intentions and explained his purpose without reservation. As Gu Yao had guessed, the request for the pills was for the sect leader. The Beixing Sect had sealed off the news previously, but in reality, the sect leader had been severely injured after being ambushed. He had been recovering for some time, and upon hearing about the top-grade pill auction, the Grand Elder had made every effort to come.

The Beixing Sect had already purchased top-grade pills, and the grade eight high-level pills were only top-grade pills. The Grand Elder was concerned that the healing effect of the top-grade pills might still be limited, so after some thought, he decided to clarify his intention. He wasn’t sure if Gu Yao could refine the highest-grade pills, but if Gu Yao had any, he was willing to exchange.

Although there was no news from the outside world, the Grand Elder believed that for grade eight intermediate pills, Gu Yao would be able to produce top-grade pills. There was also a certain probability that high-level pills could result in top-grade pills.

The Grand Elder of the Beixing Sect was a shrewd person. As soon as he saw Gu Yao’s expression, he realized that he hadn’t come to the wrong place. Gu Yao was definitely capable of refining top-grade healing pills. The Grand Elder then took out a box and presented it to Gu Yao: “This is our Beixing Sect’s sacred treasure. It may be of some use to you, Master Gu.”

Tian Feirong paused for a moment and guessed, “Could it be the Beixing Grass from the Beixing Sect?” The sect was named after this legendary herb.

The Grand Elder smiled and said, “Exactly. What I present to Master Gu is the oldest Beixing Grass cultivated by our sect. The Beixing Grass is the main ingredient for refining Beixing Pills. In addition to clearing the mind and eliminating heart demons, Beixing Pills also enhance the soul. However, our Beixing Sect only has a fragment of the formula left, and we truly feel ashamed. So…”

At this point, the Grand Elder, with an apologetic expression, handed over the incomplete formula. He was at a loss but had heard of Gu Yao’s incredible alchemy skills. Perhaps Gu Yao could restore the formula.

Gu Yao took the incomplete formula without even glancing at it and took out a bottle of pills from his storage bag: “I appreciate the Beixing Grass. This is the medicine you need, Grand Elder.”

The Grand Elder’s spiritual sense swept over it, and his face lit up with joy. Inside were five highest-grade pills. If these couldn’t heal the sect’s injuries, they would definitely need a grade seven pill. He expressed his gratitude: “Thank you, Master Gu. If there’s anything you need in the future, don’t hesitate to ask. Our Beixing Sect will do our best to assist you.”
