They arrived at Pill Hall, where a senior brother pointed inside and led Gu in.
The architecture was ancient and stable, with long, winding Danxiang, low-hanging Flamingos, and numerous blue Dings that resembled blazing flames, yet without the heat of the earth's core. This created a peculiar artistic style throughout Dan Hall.
As soon as Gu stepped inside, he was captivated by the serene and peaceful scene, so different from the constant strife and hidden calculations outside. The tranquil and comfortable atmosphere was something he had never experienced before; he couldn't help but wonder what the people there were like.
From the senior brother who had just brought him to Dan Hall, it seemed they were all quite friendly. As Gu pondered this, the guiding brother waved to a Dan Child who was collecting herbs at the entrance.
"That’s my Gu Shixiong. Quickly take him to Master Liu. Liu Shizu said my Gu Shixiong has a talent for alchemy; he might be another genius," the senior brother kindly instructed the Dan Child.
The Little Dan Child nodded repeatedly and then led Gu to one of the twenty-four great halls of Dan Hall, Qing Hall.
"Master is out; Coco will be back in a while. Why don’t you come back another day?" the Dan Child said as he placed the herbs down, glancing at Gu.
"It's fine; I can wait here," Gu replied, choosing not to postpone his visit. Although it was only his third day in the academy, he already felt that Yuanji was not as welcoming as he had imagined. If he didn’t seize his time wisely, he might find himself in dire straits without even a chance to escape.
"Is that Liu Shizu's new disciple? I really envy you for having such a talented disciple in front of Master Chang," Little Dan Child said enviously, propping his small head up. With his clean appearance and big eyes, he looked quite adorable. It seemed inevitable that he would also become a medicine jar in the future and might achieve great things.
"I’ve been around many cultivators since I was little. When I was your age, I was busy studying too. I need to seize this opportunity so I can cultivate in the future," Gu comforted Little Dan Child and then asked, "Do I know that brother who brought me to Dan Hall?"
"Oh, that's Chu Shixiong! He’s a disciple of this generation at Dan Hall. He’s in the same cohort as Mei Senior Sister and Zhang. Among their cohort at Liquid Essence Academy, only those three have excellent alchemy talents; they can only produce some ordinary medicines for now."
"Little Dan Child" said, his face beaming with pride, as if he were the one speaking. This made Gu feel a sense of relief, as if the tension in his heart had eased.
So who is the master he mentioned?
Is it the master of Qing Hall or the current Grand Elder of Dan Hall, Dou Tianxing, Dou Elder? It is said that this master has refined the Divine Spirit Pill, a pill that can grant a cultivator temporary power equivalent to that of a True Immortal. To call it an immortal pill would not be an exaggeration.
Gu had indeed heard of the Divine Spirit Pill, but he was skeptical about the claim that consuming just one pill could bestow the strength of a True Immortal. Such statements often seemed like exaggerations; very few had truly witnessed the immense power of a True Immortal. With the memories of a Primordial Celestial Demon, Gu understood that a True Immortal could resist the flow of time, and advancing further would bring one close to immortality.
It was undeniable that Bu Luo could refine such pills, but ordinary people wouldn’t know what level of cultivation Dou Elder possessed. He likely had at least Transcendence Stage cultivation, if not Integration Stage as a Great Master.
No, testing alchemical talent required doing something specific, and he could help with that. However, he seemed somewhat reluctant. He asked his senior brother to first test Yi Dong; if Yi Dong truly had exceptional talent, perhaps he would be directly brought into Dan Hall by the master.
Oh, hearing the boy say this piqued Gu's interest. He instructed Little Dan Child to prepare Yi Dong.
Little Dan Child left and returned after about fifteen minutes, carrying a piece of firewood in his arms and panting heavily as he threw it down in front of Gu.
Gu picked up the large piece of wood, which was about the size of his leg. Weighing it in his hands, he discovered that this seemingly small piece actually weighed several dozen pounds. How did Little Dan Child manage to bring it back? Gu was quite surprised.
What kind of wood is this? Looking at the dark wood, it resembled a block of iron.
This was Tie Mu, used to test the foundational skills of an alchemist. Sometimes it could also be used to determine whether a cultivator possessed alchemical talent. If one could refine this material into green liquid using alchemical fire, it indicated considerable talent in alchemy. Bu Luo's material was extremely heat-resistant; most people would struggle to work with it. Moreover, if there was no life essence in the flames, one would not be able to produce the green liquid.
Gu walked over to the furnace in the main hall and was just about to throw his Tie Mu into it when he heard Little Dan Child shouting at him.
"What’s wrong?" Gu turned around to see Dan Child rushing over with a panicked expression, trying to stop him from putting Tie Mu into the stove.
