Battle Through the Heavens: He marries Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate the marriage!

Chapter 40 Gu He: In the Jia Ma Empire, is there anyone whose alchemy skills can surpass mine?

Yunlan Sect.

As the most powerful sect in the Jia Ma Empire, the Yunlan Sect's headquarters were located on a majestic mountain only a dozen miles away from the capital of the Jia Ma Empire.

Because of the name of the Yunlan Sect, this mountain is also known as Yunlan Mountain.

The fact that a mountain was given its name by a sect shows that it is no ordinary mountain.

Yunlan Mountain is steep, with cliffs on three sides and only one road leading to the summit, making it a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Moreover, the entire mountain is constantly patrolled by disciples of the Yunlan Sect, making the whole mountain range resemble a small fortress.

Just two miles from the foot of Yunlan Mountain, there are 50,000 iron cavalrymen stationed here by the empire.

These 50,000 iron cavalry, though ostensibly there to guard the capital, were clearly there for all to see.

This is the ruler of the empire, guarding against this fierce tiger approaching the capital.

This demonstrates the immense size of the Yunlan Sect.

At this moment, outside the main hall of the Yunlan Sect, a middle-aged man with a rather refined appearance stepped in with a slightly hurried manner.

This person is Gu He, an elder of the Yunlan Sect, and also the most powerful alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire.

Upon hearing that Yun Yun had returned to the sect, Gu He rushed over immediately.

"metropolitan!"

At this moment, Yun Yun was also in the main hall.

As soon as Guhe entered, he quickly greeted her and then turned to look at her.

"Did you obtain any Purple Spirit Crystals on your trip, Sect Master? I heard that a terrifying battle broke out in the Monster Mountain Range a few days ago; it must have been between you and that Purple Crystal Winged Lion King."

Yun Yun's eyes flickered, she shook her head, and remained silent, indicating that she had not obtained the purple spirit crystal.

Ever since she left the Monster Mountain Range, she has been somewhat absent-minded.

Upon hearing this, Gu He also sighed. He had thought that Yun Yun's emotional reaction was because she had not obtained the Purple Spirit Crystal.

If he had the Purple Spirit Crystal, he could refine the Purple Crystal Pill for Yanran to take.

However, the next moment, Yun Yun blinked, a smile suddenly appearing on her face, and said, "Although I didn't get the Purple Spirit Crystal, I accidentally obtained a better pill than the Purple Crystal Pill from a young alchemist."

Upon hearing this, Gu He raised an eyebrow, somewhat suspicious. He was about to ask Yun Yun a question when Yun Yun interrupted him.

"I have already given Yanran the pill, and so far, the effect has been very good, with no side effects, and her cultivation has increased very steadily."

"It's so perfect it doesn't even seem like a pill."

Yunyun's voice was filled with admiration.

After all, every medicine has its side effects.

Although most elixirs have mild effects, they all carry some degree of erysipelas.

Occasional use is fine, but long-term, high-dose use can easily damage the body's natural resources.

Yun Yun did not encourage Nalan Yanran to take pills, but she was focused on improving her cultivation level quickly and trusted Gu He's alchemy skills, so she took the initiative to help him find purple spirit crystals.

But the pill that Gu Fei gave her was different; she didn't sense any toxicity in it.

It's mild and harmless, seemingly without any side effects.

It is estimated that in less than a month, after digesting the power of the pill, Nalan Yanran will be able to successfully break through to the Great Dou Master realm.

Gu He frowned when he saw Yun Yun's praise for other alchemists.

How powerful can a pill made by a young man be?

Moreover, for a Dou Shi who wants to reach the Great Dou Shi realm, his Purple Crystal Pill is the best choice.

Where did this young man get the recipe for the elixir?

However, Gu He personally witnessed that Nalan Yanran's cultivation had indeed improved remarkably after taking the pill.

Her aura was noticeably more subdued, and her fighting spirit seemed to be genuinely cultivated, making it extremely stable.

This pill truly exceeds the expected effects of the Purple Crystal Pill.

"..."

This outcome also made it difficult for Guhe to say what he had been holding in his heart.

Previously, when Yun Yun asked him to refine pills, he made a condition: that Yun Yun go with him to the Tagor Desert to search for a different kind of fire.

Yun Yun readily agreed, promising Gu He that once he successfully refined the Purple Crystal Pill and gave it to Nalan Yanran, she would help him find the Strange Fire.

However, before he could refine the Purple Crystal Pill, Yun Yun had already obtained more effective and gentler pills from others, which made it difficult for Gu He to speak up.

After all, he had broken his promise, so he had no right to ask for payment.

Gu He's lips moved slightly, and although Yun Yun was a little slow to react, she knew what he wanted to say after seeing it so many times.

"Elder Guhe, rest assured, I will still help you with what I promised before!"

"Consider this a thank you for all the help you've given to the Yunlan Sect before."

Yun Yun said coldly.

After all, Gu He made great contributions to the Yunlan Sect. You must know that the pills of the Pill King are extremely rare and hard to find in the outside world.

When Gu He helped the Yunlan Sect refine pills, he usually only accepted very little payment, or, like this time, he would ask the other party to accompany him on a mission.

After all, although Guhe was skilled in alchemy, he was still not strong enough to protect himself.

His best option was to select a few powerful "bodyguards" and exchange them for the pills he had refined.

As the sect leader, Yun Yun felt it would be unreasonable and morally wrong of her not to help Gu He this time, even though Gu He hadn't been able to.

"Then thank you very much, Sect Master!"

Gu He was overjoyed and said, "This matter should be handled sooner rather than later; let's set off tomorrow."

Yun Yun readily agreed.

……

In the Stone Desert City.

With Gu Fei's help, Hai Bodong finally regained his Dou Huang cultivation.

He broke the seal and felt a long-lost surge of power throughout his body.

However, Hai Bodong still dared not make a move against Gu Fei, and reluctantly handed over the half of the incomplete map as promised.

In addition, he also gave Gu Fei a map he had drawn that might contain the location of the strange fire.

Of course, Gu Fei doesn't actually need the location of the Strange Fire.

Because he knew that the strange fire had already been taken away by Queen Medusa.

Going there now to search will only be a wasted trip.

All Gu Fei needed was a map of the desert.

"Great! Thank you."

Gu Fei accepted it with a smile, and then left the Gu Tu shop with Little Fairy Doctor.

Next, we'll truly be entering the desert.

Stone Desert City is actually only on the outer edge of the desert, while what they are going to is the true depths of the desert where no one lives.

The climate there was bad, extremely hot, and water resources were scarce, so Gu Fei began to take Xiao Yixian to Stone Desert City to purchase some supplies.

Water is essential in the desert, and some food was also purchased.

Little Fairy Doctor obediently followed behind Gu Fei. Gu Fei didn't ask her to help carry things, but instead put them all into his storage ring.

After gathering the supplies, they left the city, boarded the Lion King's back, and set off once again into the depths of the desert.
