Chapter 291

After understanding the intentions of Jiang Yan and Lu Qiusheng, Gu Yao also thought it was a great idea. Since arriving here, he hasn't touched these beauty pills anymore. He has been considering how to quickly improve his cultivation.

Moreover, Jiang Yan and Lu Qiusheng insisted on giving Gu Yao a share, so Gu Yao couldn't just take these spiritual stones for free. Thus, he took the initiative to propose that they could make new adjustments and developments on the existing basis. Knowing that it wouldn't delay Gu Yao for too long, there was no reason for these two not to be happy about it.

The two convinced Tao Yue and Du Lingdai to cooperate and brought Hu Guzhu into the picture. Then they started investigating the current status of products related to this field on the Qianhao Continent. If their goods couldn't have their own characteristics, they wouldn't be able to enter the market. However, the most important thing was to first improve their cultivation. The Foundation Establishment phase was truly not impressive enough.

Near Tianlin Town, cultivators were experiencing a series of Golden Core Tribulations one after another. After the initial shock, the cultivators became more and more numb to it. It was just a Golden Core Tribulation, nothing special. Mass production was also not a problem, as long as it wasn't a Nascent Soul Tribulation, there was no need to panic.If one day the Yuan Ying Heavenly Tribulation were to appear one after another, various factions would not be able to sit still.

It seems that the Qianhao Continent has entered a period of peace, and on the surface, everything seems calm.

The Tianlin Town is no exception, everything has entered a positive cycle of development. After Jiang Yan and the others successfully crossed the Golden Core Tribulation and formed their Golden Core, they began their busyness. This period of time was enough for Gu Yao to improve and upgrade the original beauty pills such as the Bai Dan and develop some new varieties. Because the resources in the Qianhao Continent are more abundant, he then handed over these pills and pill formulas to Jiang Yan, and no longer asked how he would dispose of them.

He understood Jiang Yan and the others' mentality and was happy to see such development. As for the spirit stones received from the business profits, they would be used to maintain the operation of the Tianlin Town.

He didn't inquire about how Jiang Yan and the others were working, but it was his uncle who came to find him first and took the initiative to mention this matter, which surprised Gu Yao.

"What's so surprising? Those little guys need a way to promote their products, of course. Do you think opening a shop in this small town is enough? Can they support those cultivators? Do you think everyone is like you, selling a few pills and making a lot of money?" Yin Hua sipped on the spirit tea gracefully while teasing his nephew. If others heard this, they would definitely think he was shamelessly showing off."So they approached you, uncle, for cooperation? Did they mention me?" Gu Yao asked curiously.

"They didn't mention you. I had someone look into it. I didn't expect those pill formulas to come from you. This... is called being idle, isn't it?" Yin Hua tilted his head and thought for a moment before giving this evaluation.

He didn't expect his nephew to have such a wide range of interests. In the eyes of other alchemists, these types of pills might not be considered prestigious. Especially when they had multiple classifications for the same variety. But truth be told, even he found some of the pills delivered to him appealing. He could smell the fragrance emitting from the robes they were stored in, and they were quite impressive.

Gu Yao didn't think this was being idle at all; it was entirely within his expertise: "Uncle, what do you think?"

Yin Hua smiled and said, "If there's profit to be made, of course I won't pass it up. But because of you, nephew, I'll spare them a bit."

They approached the Fengyin Pavilion because they saw the opportunity. The Fengyin Pavilion is famous for selling mage robes, with a large portion being women's mage robes. Once they release some stylish mage robes, it can cause a frenzy among female cultivators, making a lot of spiritual stones.

Both the beauty pills and mage robes target a similar group of people, and although the Fengyin Pavilion has also developed items in this area, a brief comparison shows the difference in quality. If it weren't for his nephew handing these things over to Jiang Yan and the others to handle, Yin Hua would have been tempted to take the lead.Gu Yao wiped his sweat and chuckled.

Yin Hua reached out and tapped his nephew's head. "What kind of person are you when you're an IIM?"

He was still thinking about who to entrust the Fengyin Pavilion to after he and his nephew left the Qianhao Continent. If this person named Jiang Yan had sufficient business acumen, it wouldn't be impossible, but of course, he would need to be tested.

"Besides, look at your current state. Why don't you hurry up and seclude yourself to prepare for the Nascent Soul stage? When are you going to wait?" Yin Hua reminded. The continent is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface. The big shots from the three factions have not stopped investigating and eliminating Huo Shu, as well as his remnants. It could happen anytime.

He definitely had to go, and his nephew, of course, wouldn't stay behind. So, it's important to improve his cultivation.

Gu Yao thought about the matters around him and realized that there was nothing major that required his attention, so he said, "Alright, I will seclude myself."This time, there is no need to avoid the attention of numerous forces like last time. Ever since he and Chi Changye settled in Tianlin Town, there have been cultivators who secretly wanted to make a move. The defensive array set up outside, under Fatty's reinforced efforts, has become increasingly powerful, stopping several unidentified attackers. And those who entered the town were all intercepted by Chi Changye, with no return.

Gradually, Chi Changye's reputation became more and more prominent. Even mid-Yuan Ying stage cultivators were wary of him. As for late-Yuan Ying stage cultivators, apart from individuals like Huo Shu, who would dare to risk their reputation by making a move? Once exposed, their reputation would be ruined.

Just outside Tianlin Town, Gu Yao chose a hilltop, and Fatty brought out the prepared formation disc to set up the formation. Chi Changye stood guard nearby to protect him.Outsiders only know that Gu Yao has gone into seclusion, but they don't know where he is in seclusion, nor do they know that this time he is preparing to breakthrough to the Yuan Ying stage.

"Sister, Gu Yao really went into seclusion. Some people speculate that since he hasn't appeared for such a long time, this seclusion is most likely to prepare for the breakthrough to the Yuan Ying stage." Several months have passed, with no sign of Gu Yao's activities, the rumors gradually changed. A demonic cultivator said to the enchantress who was known for her charm techniques when she appeared in the Bai Shang City.

The enchantress harbored extreme hatred for Gu Yao. Without obtaining the top-grade Condensed Infant Pill, she had been too afraid to go into seclusion and attempt the breakthrough to the Yuan Ying stage. Now that Gu Yao has surpassed her, how could she not hate him? It's just a pill that is extremely difficult for others, but what is it to Gu Yao? Yet, it has caused her to be in such a predicament.

Fortunately, the demonic cultivator later obtained the Condensed Infant Pill from Gu Yao. Otherwise, her days in the demonic path would continue to be arduous, even now she occasionally receives mockery from cultivators who look down upon her. She managed to climb up to a Yuan Ying stage cultivator who could obtain top-grade Condensed Infant Pills by relying on her own beauty, but at the mention of pills, she was immediately mercilessly abandoned by that old geezer.

Even if she could obtain the pills, top-grade Condensed Infant Pills are still rare items."I heard that his spiritual root aptitude is not good, so how could his cultivation progress so quickly? Even if he piles up top-grade pills, it wouldn't be like this. There must be other secrets hidden in him," the enchantress said confidently. She didn't believe that someone wouldn't be tempted.

"Senior sister, are you saying..."

"He has the qualifications of the Four Spiritual Roots."

The enchantress stopped there. With the appearance of cultivators from the Tianlin Continent on the Qianhao Continent, Gu Yao's aptitude was no longer a secret. It wasn't that someone deliberately caused trouble, but these cultivators admired Gu Yao too much and treated his Four Spiritual Roots as a great honor.

The speaker had no intention, but the listener had his own ideas. Before this, Gu Yao's spiritual root aptitude had never been revealed. However, after seeing him fight, people thought he was a wood-fire dual spiritual root cultivator. No one expected him to have the Four Spiritual Roots.After the establishment of the new Nebula Chamber of Commerce, Hu Ding no longer needed to focus on alchemy but instead was responsible for guiding the alchemists recruited by Jiang Yan. He spent his time studying alchemy, as Gu Yao had given him a record of his insights and experiences in alchemy over the years. Hu Ding cherished this gift and couldn't bear to be separated from it, and his progress in alchemy was extremely fast.

Gu Yao had left him many spirit herbs to practice with, and Hu Ding valued this precious friendship. Now, it was no problem for him to refine low and intermediate-grade seventh-rank pills, and a considerable proportion of the pills he produced were high-grade pills, which made him very satisfied. As for top-grade pills, it relied on luck, but he also understood that this situation was related to the special nature of Gu Yao's soul and spiritual consciousness, something not everyone could possess.

Some of the tricks Gu Yao taught him had greatly improved the quality of his pills, and Hu Ding was very pleased. The pills he refined would be sold in the Nebula Shop, giving him a solid foundation in Tianlin Town.

A chubby person rushed in from outside in a flurry, and Hu Ding put down his book and couldn't help but say, "Why the rush? Take it slow, what's so urgent?"Pangzi chuckled, "There's nothing urgent, just that I asked Tian Fei Rong to refine a pill furnace for me. It just got completed, so I brought it over to grandfather. That guy is really picky, it took him until today to finish refining it."

Pangzi took out a spiritual instrument-level pill furnace and placed it in front of Hu Ting. Hu Ting was extremely pleased. He knew very well that when they say Tian Fei Rong is picky, it was because their grandson was critical and had delayed the process due to preparing for Gu Yao's breakthrough during his seclusion.

"Grandfather really likes it. You all are doing well now," Hu Ting played with the new pill furnace for a while. It was much better than the one he used before. Then, he thought of Gu Yao and asked, "Has Little Yao been in seclusion for a long time? Will he succeed this time?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Pangzi also became worried. Even though he had great confidence in Gu Yao, he still had some concerns. "There shouldn't be a problem. Gege (referring to himself) has been staying there to assist him, grandfather, you know, Gu Yao's spiritual consciousness cultivation surpasses his spiritual power cultivation. If he can't make a breakthrough, I don't know who else can."This confidence comes from the experiences we have gone through along the way.

The grandfather and grandson were talking when suddenly, there was a strange phenomenon in the sky. The cultivators in Tianlin Town didn't think much of it and continued with their activities without stopping. They thought, "It's just someone going through the Golden Core Tribulation again, nothing special."

"No, something's not right!" the chubby man suddenly stood up. "It's the Yuan Ying Tribulation! It's Gu Yao's Yuan Ying Tribulation! Grandfather, hurry!"

The chubby man became more and more excited as he spoke and pulled Hu Ding to rush outside. When they rushed out, the cultivators in the town also realized that this was different from the usual Golden Core Tribulation. It was the Yuan Ying Heavenly Tribulation! It must be Gu Yao, the alchemist's Yuan Ying Tribulation!

Suddenly, many cultivators rushed out. Golden Core Tribulations were not uncommon, but Yuan Ying Tribulations were rare. There were countless cultivators in the Qianhao Continent, but the number of Yuan Ying cultivators could still be counted.At the same time, the higher-ups of Changxian Sect were also alarmed. They could distinguish immediately that it was not the Golden Core Tribulation, but the Yuan Ying Tribulation. Looking in that direction, there was only one person who fit the description, and that was Gu Yao, who had been in seclusion for over half a year. Even Lou Laozu's face showed a look of shock. He had only just heard that Gu Yao had the Four Spiritual Roots aptitude, so he was about to break through to the Yuan Ying stage?

"Let's go, we'll go over too, to protect Dan Master Gu Yao, it can also be considered as creating a good relationship." Setting aside the questions they couldn't understand for now, Lou Laozu took the lead and walked out.

Reluctant as they may be, they couldn't deny the dominant rise of Gu Yao and Chi Changye. After experiencing the downfall of the Witch Dan Master, Han Chi became more low-key, including his disciple Ning Hui. When Ning Hui informed his master of the situation, Han Chi sighed and said, "If you want to go see it, then go see it. It's the master who made the mistake."

Should he be grateful that he belonged to the mediocre category in the eyes of the Witches? That's why he was excluded from many things. So when it came to the settlement, he redeemed his merits and sins, which allowed him to protect himself. After all, even if the Witches look down on him, he is currently the only sixth-grade Dan Master in Changxian Sect.Now he had to admit that his talent in alchemy was indeed mediocre, inferior to those with the last name Wu, and far behind the rising generation like Gu Yao who came from a remote place.

"Yes, Master."

After thinking for a moment, Ninghui decided to join the other Golden Core cultivators from the sect to witness the rare Yuan Ying Tribulation. This opportunity was rare and would greatly benefit their future advancement.

As for alchemy, he gave up the idea of competing and comparing with Gu Yao. In fact, this idea had always been one-sided. Gu Yao had never taken him seriously. He should have realized this and let go of such thoughts when they first came out of the Cangkun Secret Realm. When he truly decided to give up, he felt a sense of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

When the group of cultivators arrived at the scene of the Heavenly Tribulation, they saw a figure standing in mid-air. It was Gu Yao, no doubt about it. Another person closely related to Gu Yao, Yin Hua, was also present.

At the same time, the Ghost Mist Array manifested once again, even more exquisite than the previous time when Gu Yao faced the tribulation at night."Anyone who crosses this line drawn on the ground by Chi Changye will be killed without question!"

Several demonic cultivators hiding in the crowd of cultivators looked at the line filled with sword aura, their eyes flickering. Not to mention Chi Changye personally protecting it, even the Ghost Mist Formation had been rumored to be incredibly powerful since Chi Changye crossed his tribulation.
