"Do you know what kind of elixir he is refining?"
Seeing Liu Shizu glance over, Gu Lian shook his head. As for the elixir, the fragmented memories of the Primordial Celestial Demon were still quite intact, but they clearly informed Gu that the Artifact Refining Talisman had four paths, none of which were minor paths. Although they could achieve boundless power, they ultimately could not point to the Great Dao. Therefore, Gu Yi had never even looked at them.
He knew I would shake my head.
Liu Shizu performed the Yi Dong Cleansing Technique with her leg and then approached Gu. Standing before such a stunning beauty, Gu felt a sense of breathlessness wash over him. He kept silently reciting the Pure and Unadulterated Sutra of the World to keep himself calm.
"My name is Liu Yueya. If I call him Master, that makes me a disciple of Mok Ming Academy's Fourteenth Generation, and thus I would be considered a Fifteenth Generation disciple. In that case, I should be given the Dao title Xuan. From now on, my name will appear in the academy's roster as Xuan, and there will be no mention of Gu."
"Thank you for granting me this Dao title, Master." Gu knelt on the ground in respect, his body slightly leaning forward.
A new disciple should receive a gift as a meeting present. Bu Luo usually refined treasures that were meant for girls, but he had never expected to take on a male disciple. "I don't deny it." Given my Heavenly Spirit Root talent, he wouldn't go to such lengths to take something from me either, so that formal initiation gift was out of the question.
But it was up to the Master to decide.
Though he spoke those words, inside Gu felt like there were ten thousand horses galloping through him. Why did the Master act like a child? Why was everything so meticulously calculated? Couldn’t he just give something casually to make do? At least it would maintain some face; after all, it seemed like he hadn't considered any of this at all.
Since that was the case, I might as well go along with it. Liu Shizu pointed toward a nearby furnace.
When Gu reached the side of the furnace, Liu Shizu walked up beside him, lifted his left leg with her own leg, and then adjusted the spiritual energy delivery port.
"Channel your spiritual energy." After saying this, she began to focus intently on the furnace, seemingly indifferent to how Gu felt about it.
At this moment, Gu was being closely watched by Liu Shizu, an eighteen-year-old young man, whose youthful energy was at its peak. So much so that Gu didn’t hear what Liu Shizu said; instead, he focused on the breathing technique, observing his surroundings while silently reciting the Pure and Unadulterated Sutra of the World in his heart.
After waiting for a long time, Liu Shizu still didn’t see any reaction from the Dan Furnace. He tapped Gu on the head in surprise and exclaimed, “I don’t deny it. You have a Heavenly Spirit Root, right? Why aren’t you using your spiritual energy? Isn’t it said that a Heavenly Spirit Root absorbs the purest Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy from birth? Could it be false?”
It took a moment for Gu to react. He began to channel his spiritual energy towards the Dan Furnace’s outlet. In an instant, a pure Peach Pink Flame ignited within the furnace, and Liu Shizu looked extremely excited.
“I insist, Yi Dong, don’t let Dan hear this.”
“Understood.”
Seeing Liu Shizu eagerly return with an herb, he lifted his leg and the Willow Furnace Lid carved on top of the Dan Furnace floated into the air, hovering above it. No matter how Gu looked at Liu Shizu, he felt that this person hadn’t matured; he resembled a child who had just found a new toy and didn’t seem to care about teaching him anything.
While Gu observed Liu Shizu and maintained the flow of spiritual energy, he noticed that the herb Liu Shizu had just thrown into the Dan Furnace took root in the Peach Pink Flame and began to grow rapidly.
The purity of its light attribute and life attribute was remarkable; that kind of Pale Pink spiritual energy could indeed be used for alchemy. It seemed he hadn’t guessed wrong—he was truly suited to be Liu Shizu’s disciple.
Hmm?
Alchemy? That could be his ambition. If he had nothing else to do, fiddling with Yi Dong would be a good way to pass the time or earn some extra money. However, he didn’t want to neglect his cultivation of the Great Dao or get lost in chaos. Such things were not worth pursuing.
He had a method that suited him well: practicing the Pure Light Sutra. Perhaps he could find it among the relics of a Light Path Great Ascension Practitioner. It should be one of the top-tier light techniques in that world. He could cultivate under Liu Shizu’s guidance on the condition that he learned alchemy from him and helped refine a pill once he mastered it.
Seeing Liu Shizu squinting his eyes as if questioning whether Gu dared to refuse him made Gu cautious. The two exchanged glances for quite some time.
Gu thought for a long time, and no matter how he considered it, he felt that if he didn't agree now, Tian Keke wouldn't be able to leave that door at all. So, he slowly nodded his head.
