Yang Qian walked over and also picked up a Qi Recovery Pill, making the same gesture. The two stood in silence for a long while.
“Shameful!” Guan Weiwu, who had been standing silently, suddenly shook his head. Yang Qian sighed: “Furnace light dancing – may I remain drunk and never wake!”
Yue Qianchou looked back and forth between the two men, his expression slightly gloomy. The pills I refined made one of you feel shameful and the other wish to remain drunk and never wake? I’ve never seen such sarcastic people! When I ate the Foundation Establishment Pills I refined myself, didn’t I still successfully establish my foundation? Even though I ate quite a few… Damn! What the hell are these two old bastards up to?
“Yue Qianchou, who taught you this pill refining method?” Guan Weiwu stared at him with profound eyes. Yang Qian also stared at him in the same way.
Yue Qianchou scratched his head. He really couldn’t think of anyone to shift the blame to, so he could only honestly say: “This disciple is ignorant. This disciple has never properly learned pill refining, so I could only fumble around and refine like this. As a result, this is how they turned out.”
Guan Weiwu raised an eyebrow and asked: “Is this really a method you figured out yourself?”
Yue Qianchou smiled bitterly: “This disciple dares not deceive Master. It really is something this disciple fumbled out randomly.”
Guan Weiwu glanced at Yang Qian and shook his head with a bitter laugh: “I’ve always prided myself on having unparalleled pill refining skills in the cultivation world, and I’ve been smugly pleased when others called me ‘Pill Maniac.’ Who would have thought I was like a frog at the bottom of a well with such short-sighted vision, unable to even compare with a disciple just beginning pill refining. How shameful!”
Ah! Is that disciple he’s talking about me? Is it me? Yue Qianchou kept asking himself internally. No matter how slow he was, he could hear some clues from Guan Weiwu’s words. It turned out that contrary to his initial guess, it wasn’t that he had refined poorly, but that he had refined extremely well.
Stay calm, stay calm, must stay calm. Yue Qianchou suppressed his increasingly excited emotions.
Guan Weiwu closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then took out a set of spirit herbs and threw them into the pill furnace to refine. Yang Qian knew that after seeing Yue Qianchou’s pill refining method, he had gained some insights and was probably testing them now.
Yue Qianchou obediently stood to the side without making a sound. Although he was quite skilled at acting modest after gaining an advantage, it really wasn’t appropriate to be too arrogant at this time, so he could only secretly praise the pill formula jade disc left by the Pill Sect in his heart.
“Bang!” The furnace lid popped open. As soon as the Qi Recovery Pills came out, they were drawn into Guan Weiwu’s hands. Yang Qian stepped forward first to observe, and Yue Qianchou followed. Twenty white pills lay warm in Guan Weiwu’s hands – all twenty were white without a single waste pill, but unfortunately their quality seemed to still have some gap compared to what Yue Qianchou had refined, lacking that layer of charming pill halo.
When Guan Weiwu was refining just now, he had also wanted to learn from Yue Qianchou by using divine sense to control airflow for refining. Although he could also control it, he lacked his disciple’s effortless mastery. No matter how hard he tried, it was like seeing a ghost – if he used too much force, it ran faster than a rabbit; if he used too little force, it would turn a corner and do whatever it wanted.
It was completely unlike Yue Qianchou, who would occasionally point east, occasionally point west, casually draw a circle on the left when he had nothing to do, draw a circle on the right, and the airflow would easily serve his purposes. Guan Weiwu was nearly driven to death by that airflow and could never tame it. In the end, he drew a tiger but it became a cat. He accepted his fate and ultimately still used the divine sense forcible object control method to refine.
Fortunately, he had seen Yue Qianchou’s pill formation steps clearly. With his years of pill refining experience, he naturally mastered it effortlessly, and a batch of successful pills came out just like that.
“Elder Guan, success!” Although it wasn’t as good as what Yue Qianchou had refined, Yang Qian still couldn’t help but excitedly call out, because this was too significant for Floating Immortal Island. As long as the Qi Recovery Pill refining technique was correct, it could be completely recommended for use throughout the entire Alchemy Pavilion. Supreme-grade pills like those Yue Qianchou refined weren’t something everyone could produce – Guan Weiwu was a ready example – but this was already enough!
“Mm!” Guan Weiwu nodded heavily and sighed: “Regrettable! I’ve only grasped the form but not the spirit!” After speaking, he stared at Yue Qianchou with blazing eyes, and Yang Qian did the same.
Damn! I really didn’t do it on purpose. Now I’ve even overshadowed my master’s limelight. Yue Qianchou unconsciously shrank back.
Guan Weiwu took a deep breath and turned his head: “Yang Qian, please ask the Sect Master and the Reward and Punishment Elder to come quickly.”
“Yes.” Yang Qian bowed and quickly flew out of the pill chamber. The disciples outside saw the steward actually flying inside the cave and looking very hurried, all looking at each other in confusion, not knowing what had happened.
Reward? Punishment? Knight Errant? Laba porridge? Knight Errant Island? Floating Immortal Island? These two islands seem to have no connection whatsoever, right? Yue Qianchou looked at his master, really wanting to ask if there was Laba porridge to drink on the island.
Before long, Guan Weiwu suddenly listened intently and nodded: “They’re coming. Yue Qianchou, let’s go out to welcome the Sect Master.”
As soon as the two left the pill chamber, they saw Sect Master Feng Xiangtian leading a group of people striding forward. Disciples around them kept bowing: “Sect Master, Elders…” It wasn’t just one or two elders who came – there were more than ten. People in the Alchemy Pavilion’s underground pill chambers hadn’t seen such a thing for many years.
Guan Weiwu frowned and shouted: “Unrelated disciples, go do whatever you’re supposed to do. This has nothing to do with you.” His voice rolled and echoed throughout the entire underground space, and those disciples who had come to bow scattered.
Feng Xiangtian, dressed in bright robes and standing out among the crowd like a crane among chickens, laughed heartily from afar: “Weiwu, is the good news Yang Qian told me true? I’ve brought all the elders to verify it together – you absolutely cannot disappoint us!”
Yue Qianchou discovered that his mortal enemy Yan Shu had also come and was leading the way in front of the Sect Master and others alongside Yang Qian, one on the left and one on the right.
When the group approached, the master and disciple were about to bow when Feng Xiangtian grabbed Guan Weiwu’s wrist: “No need for formalities.” After speaking, he glanced around: “Too many people, too many mouths. Let’s go into your pill chamber to talk.” As soon as everyone entered, an elder set up a light barrier at the pill chamber entrance, immediately blocking all sounds from outside, and naturally sounds from inside couldn’t get out either.
Fortunately, Guan Weiwu’s pill chamber was large enough that it wasn’t crowded when everyone stood inside. Feng Xiangtian said gravely to Guan Weiwu: “I heard from Yang Qian that your disciple Yue Qianchou has solved the problem of waste pills in Qi Recovery Pills. Is this true?”
Guan Weiwu glanced at everyone and sighed: “Senior Brother Sect Master, it’s true.”
“Good, good, good!” Feng Xiangtian struck his palm with his fist, saying “good” three times in a row, then pointed repeatedly at Guan Weiwu: “Junior Brother, your Alchemy Pavilion has rendered great service to our Floating Immortal Island.”
He then turned back to wave at the elders and laughed heartily: “As long as our Floating Immortal Island has sufficient Qi Recovery Pill reserves, no matter what happens in the cultivation world, our Floating Immortal Island will already have the advantage.” Feng Xiangtian’s domineering aura as a superior was fully revealed in his casual conversation.
The elders all agreed. Everyone knew that although Floating Immortal Island was isolated overseas and wouldn’t actively provoke anything, the heavens were unpredictable – who could guarantee that nothing would ever trouble Floating Immortal Island? Those wanting to challenge this number one sect in the cultivation world probably weren’t just from the demonic path! Once war broke out, having sufficient Qi Recovery Pills would allow Floating Immortal Island to maintain strong combat power continuously, using their own inexhaustible elite forces against enemies who couldn’t sustain themselves. Anyone could calculate this account.
“Eh! Where’s Yue Qianchou?” Only now did Feng Xiangtian notice that Yue Qianchou, who had been right in front of him just moments ago, had disappeared somewhere. Everyone turned their heads to search.
“This disciple is here.” Everyone looked toward where the voice came from. A hand was raised from the corner at the very back, showing only the hand but not the person. The elders made way for a path.
Damn! With you bunch of old guys here, where’s my place to stand in front? Yue Qianchou smiled honestly at everyone and trotted to the front of the Sect Master.
