Chapter 35: Alchemist's Legacy

"You..."

Chi Changye's eyes flickered, about to say something when a knock on the door interrupted, and a voice called from outside, "Chi Brother, Gu Yao, open the door, it's me, Tian Fei Rong."

Chi Changye put the porcelain bottle into his storage bag. It wasn't the time to talk now, so he let Tian Fei Rong in first, planning to discuss things when they were alone.

"Hey, Gu Yao is here too! It's really hard to catch a glimpse of you now. Every time I come, you're practicing in your room," Tian Fei Rong exclaimed.

"I come out both morning and night, but what about you, Tian Second Brother? What were you doing at that time?" Gu Yao teased him.

Tian Fei Rong awkwardly touched his nose, glossing over that topic, "By the way, I came to tell you something. Since you guys don't wander outside, you probably don't know that there's a rumor spreading."

"What rumor?" Gu Yao, always interested in gossip, naturally took the tea that Chi Changye handed to him. As for Tian Second, sorry, help yourself; Chi Changye wasn't in the mood to serve him.

Tian Fei Rong, with a resentful look at Chi Changye, poured his tea and took a sip before continuing, "There's a wounded cultivator who escaped back to the town. He brought news that there's a legacy left by a cultivator in the northwest Wuyun Mountains. He accidentally entered it and suspects it was left by a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He relied on finding a Biluo Pill inside and broke through from the sixth layer to the seventh layer, now an advanced Qi Refinement cultivator. Otherwise, he might not have made it back. Now, the cultivators in town are in an uproar. Many are planning to form teams and explore. If they really find the legacy of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, they'll make a fortune."

Chi Changye traced the rim of his tea cup, thinking about the ten supreme Rejuvenation Pills in his storage bag. He looked up and asked, "Is your Tian family planning to go? Do you want to go too?"

It's not that he looked down on Tian Fei Rong, but this guy was only at the third layer of Qi Refinement. In his opinion, Gu Yao was catching up and surpassing him. Taking such a person along would be like sending food to demonic beasts.

Tian Fei Rong chuckled twice, "I do want to go, but my family won't allow it. If you guys want to go, I can arrange for you to join our Tian family's team. How about it? Aren't you curious? Don't you want to go? It's the legacy of a Foundation Establishment alchemist, you know."

If we could enter the legacy, the worst-case scenario would be like that cultivator who escaped back, getting a mid-grade or even high-grade pill. Maybe we could even find a Foundation Establishment pill. The best scenario would be inheriting the alchemist's techniques. If we obtain that, perhaps in a few decades or a hundred years, we could become another Gu family, and even the Tian family couldn't resist some temptation.

The Tian family checked in advance and found that the escaped cultivator was indeed only at the sixth layer of Qi Refinement when leaving Faryang Town. It seemed he had just broken through, with the lingering scent of the Biluo Pill on him. Moreover, his description of the legacy didn't sound fabricated.

Chi Changye shook his head, saying, "I'm not an alchemist, not interested. What about you, Gu Yao?"

Gu Yao shrugged, "I'm not interested either. I don't think there's anything I want inside."

The alchemical legacies in the Pill Pavilion are abundant. He doesn't believe something left by a Foundation Establishment alchemist could surpass the Pill Pavilion. As for pills, if he needs them, he can refine them himself. What he lacks isn't pills but the spiritual herbs for alchemy. He wants to practice with mid-grade pills, but unfortunately, he doesn't have the materials to do so. Seeing Tian Fei Rong coming to him, Gu Yao smiled.

Tian Fei Rong was almost choked by the attitudes of these two. These guys actually treated the legacy of a Foundation Establishment alchemist as nothing. Are their standards too high, or do they not understand the value of this legacy?

Gu Yao said, "I have something. Can you help me sell it? Also, help me purchase some higher-grade spiritual herbs."

Gu Yao took out porcelain bottles one by one from his storage bag, lining them up in front of Tian Fei Rong. Chi Changye wanted to stop him, but it was too late. Still, considering Gu Yao isn't someone without scheming, he probably wouldn't casually reveal supreme pills.

Tian Fei Rong, shocked by the attitudes of these two towards the alchemist's legacy, first opened a bottle absentmindedly. However, just one glance almost made his eyeballs pop out. He quickly checked the second bottle, and by the end, he was not only flustered but even his breathing became rapid. His eyes turned red, as if he was about to go mad.

"Are these... all made by you? All pills? You...," Tian Fei Rong could hardly speak. The potions Gu Yao revealed earlier were already astonishing, and now these pills were simply shocking.

"It's not like you could make them, right?" Gu Yao had an expression that said, "What nonsense are you saying?" He disdainfully looked at Tian Fei Rong. "Just say, can you sell them or not?"

Chi Changye lightly tapped the tabletop, bringing Tian Fei Rong back to his senses. "Tian Second, does the Tian family have external sales channels? It's better not to show these pills in Faryang Town. The three types of potions Gu family noticed before were enough to attract attention to Gu Yao. If these pills appear again, the Gu family might take uncontrollable actions. Moreover, Gu Yao needs spiritual herbs for practice. Just buying them in the market would make too much noise and easily arouse suspicion."
