Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 198 Situ Yan was shocked!

As time went by, Situ Yan's eyes became brighter and brighter, and there was some change in the way he looked at Gu Yuan.

What kind of person is he?
One of the three alchemy masters of Yaowang Mountain, his alchemy skills are almost superb!

Through Gu Yuan's questions, Situ Yan suddenly realized the level of Gu Yuan's alchemy skills.

After Gu Yuan finished asking the question, he decided to state his purpose:
"Uncle Master, I came here today not only to ask you about alchemy, but also to ask you about something else."

"No hurry, no hurry."

However, Situ Yan's eyes lit up with surprise. He waved his hands and said impatiently, "Quick, show me the pill you made."

"Yes."

Knowing that Situ Yan was fond of alchemy, Gu Yuan was not surprised that he could not hide his progress in alchemy from him. He simply took out all the dozen bottles of pills he had made in the past few days.

Most of them are Jade Essence Pills, followed by Qi Replenishing Pills, and there is even a bottle of Soul-Nourishing Pills.

Situ Yan opened the stoppers of several jade bottles, sniffed the scent, looked at the quality, and his expression became extremely excited.

There is surprise, amazement, and shock!

Because he found that these pills were round and full, with a pure smell, and they were all high-quality pills.

If it were any other alchemist, he would not be surprised, but how long has Gu Yuan been learning?

Strictly speaking, Gu Yuan had never seen fire, never prepared elixirs, never seen others making pills, and never received any guidance. He had only read some books on alchemy.

A few days ago, he wasn't even considered an alchemy apprentice.

It was only before Situ Yan himself passed on the "Essentials of Golden Elixir" to Gu Yuan that Gu Yuan began to learn the art of alchemy in earnest.

As a result, he was able to refine this kind of medicine in just a few days, which made him feel that a certain concept in his mind was overturned.

"Did you make all these pills?"

At this moment, Situ Yan's eyes were blazing, so hot that they could melt pure gold.

Gu Yuan nodded naturally: "That's right."

Then, Situ Yan opened one of the jade bottles and took out a pale purple elixir from it.

This pill is like crystal, with a translucent surface emitting a faint purple halo, and wisps of black air gathering and rising inside, changing in countless ways.

This is naturally the Soul-Nourishing Pill refined by Gu Yuan!

Out of ten ingredients, he only succeeded in making two. Compared with several other elixirs, the Soul-Nourishing Pill was much more difficult to make, and the success rate was not high.

"Spirit-enriching Pill..."

Situ Yan's face froze, his eyes widened, and his gaze towards Gu Yuan changed: "Did you refine this too?!"

"Yes...yes."

Gu Yuan was frightened by Situ Yan's murderous look. He nodded hesitantly, but without feeling guilty at all.

Seeing that Gu Yuan didn't seem to be lying or trying to be rich, Situ Yan took a deep breath, his heart filled with turmoil.

Pills like Jade Essence Pill, Qi Replenishing Pill, and Yuan Pei Pill are fine.

Although he was surprised that Gu Yuan could refine these pills, it was understandable considering his performance last time.

With Gu Yuan's current level of alchemy, it is no exaggeration to say that he is an alchemist.

The fact that Gu Yuan was able to refine these pills in such a short time showed that he indeed had a very high talent in alchemy.

But the Yunshen Pill is different!
This is a mid-to-upper-grade elixir, and it is impossible for anyone other than a serious alchemist to make it!
Alchemy is a rather special external art that requires extremely high levels of understanding and talent from the practitioner. Some people may spend their entire lives studying and still not be able to refine even the most common, low-grade elixirs.

Take Situ Yan himself as an example. He was able to become a master of alchemy, so his understanding and talent must be extraordinary.

It only took him two years to become an alchemist.

But after that, it took him another thirteen years to become an alchemist.

Even so, he was still known as a genius in alchemy at that time.

But what about Gu Yuan?

It only took a few days. Even if you count the time he spent reading the alchemy classics himself, it would never exceed three months.

What a difference is this?
"Is there really a natural alchemist in this world?"

Looking at Gu Yuan in front of him, Situ Yan suddenly had such a thought.

Then, I felt a little regretful and sorry.

"It's a pity that this brat has already taken Junior Brother He Ling as his master. Otherwise, it would be so great if he were my disciple..."

At this moment, Situ Yan suddenly understood why Junior Brother He Ling, who had always been a loner and rarely accepted disciples, would try every possible means to accept Gu Yuan as his disciple.

It turns out that Gu Yuan not only has a high talent for cultivation and possesses two spiritual talents, but his talent for alchemy is also not inferior!

Such a good seedling is not his own apprentice, but is taken in as a disciple by the sword cultivator He Ling Zhenren. This is simply throwing a pearl into the dark and misleading young people!
Thinking of this, Situ Yan gritted his teeth, his face became a little more ferocious, and he felt very unbalanced.

He didn't care about having good talent in cultivation, but there were only a few people with good talent in alchemy, even if he searched the entire Yaowang Mountain.

He had never seen such a good seedling as Gu Yuan before!

My goodness, is this old man planning to take action?
Seeing Situ Yan's ferocious expression, Gu Yuan's heart moved and he became a little alert. He quietly locked the Silver Dragon Sword in his body with his sword intent.

Once the other party really attacks, even if he knows he can't win, he must not stand there and wait to die.

Situ Yan's cultivation level was not far from that of the Yin God, only a step away, so he could naturally see that Gu Yuan was secretly on guard against him at this time.

No, it’s so hard to come across such a genius in alchemy, we must not let him go!
Even if he is the disciple of Master He Ling, so what? Anyway, Gu Yuan has not yet paid homage to the ancestor, so the master-disciple relationship does not count.

Thinking of this, he calmed his mind, his expression managed to calm down, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said:
"Gu kid, what do you think of your uncle-master's treatment of you?"

Eh... aren't you going to take action?

Gu Yuan was puzzled, but flattered him on the surface: "Master, you taught me the art of alchemy, so your kindness to me is as great as a mountain."

"Ah."

After hearing Gu Yuan's answer, Situ Yan nodded with satisfaction: "You have made great progress in the art of alchemy, but the path of alchemy is difficult. The deeper you go, the more difficult it becomes. It is far from enough to rely on your own thinking. If you can find a good teacher to guide you, you may be able to reach the pinnacle."

As he spoke, he deliberately emphasized the tone of the last sentence.

Do you want to take me as your apprentice?

Gu Yuan's face looked a little strange, he certainly didn't understand what Situ Yan meant.

He shook his head and said, "Thank you for your guidance, uncle. However, I have already worshipped my master. Besides, my master treats me very well. I have no intention of changing my master."

"But……"

Situ Yan suddenly became anxious and was about to speak, but then he closed his mouth.

He originally wanted to say that the relationship between you two as master and disciple is not valid yet, but then he thought that saying such things in front of Gu Yuan would not only damage his own image, but also cause a big fuss when Master He Ling comes back.
