Hearing the wish of a proud disciple who intended to craft a Perfect-Stage Golden Jade Pill for him warmed Gu Tian's heart. He felt seen and cared for. Even though that trust was so faint, it was natural for a teacher to wish the best for his student."Master will look for it, don't worry. For now, you should rest. Tomorrow, we will visit the Dalu Pavilion.""Of course, Master, I do feel quite tired now!"Gu Tian escorted Wu Xiaoshi to a room. The residence indeed had six rooms — five for disciples and one for the guiding master.A rather large house with complete furnishings was granted to each teacher. The Gu Clan was indeed rich in resources, to the point where every teacher received a dwelling according to their rank.After entering the room, Wu Xiaoshi opened the window to let fresh air flow in. Then, he leaned back in thought, pondering many things. Suddenly, he recalled the figure who had been with Xiao Wu. He then entered his soul world again and peeked from the sky above to c

Su Yang looked at everyone present at his event, which was quite crowded. The proof was that everyone there consciously sat in a circle.“What do you think, Master?” Wu Xiaoshi spoke to his teacher, Gu Tian. But there was no response; he turned around and didn’t see his master beside him. ‘Did I leave the master behind because I was too excited?’ He felt disbelief upon realizing it, but the truth had to be accepted.He stood up and saw his master in the distance nodding his head, perhaps signaling that he was still there, albeit a little far away, and it wasn’t a problem. Wu Xiaoshi sat back down and watched what the alchemist master Su Yang was doing.The lesson given by Su Yang to the Gu Clan students lasted about an hour, after which the class was dismissed, and he returned to his residence, where he had been staying as an honored guest for several days.Wu Xiaoshi bought several materials to make pills. He had received a list of pills that must be made by beginners, handed out dir

While waiting for news from Gu Chang, Wu Xiaoshi practiced his pill-making skills behind Master Gu Tian’s residence. Watched by Gu Tian himself, he wanted to see whether the claimed extraordinary talent could really create a miracle on the first try.Just like Su Yang demonstrated, every detail of Wu Xiaoshi’s hand movements, even the energy and concentration he used, could match perfectly. His aura grew stronger, stirring up great winds and rumbling dark clouds.“Dragon Devours the Moon technique!” Wu Xiaoshi said, unleashing a skill he had directly learned on site before. He didn’t need a spiritual master; what he needed was just to study, imitate, memorize it in his mind, and apply it. This proved how extraordinary his talent was.At the end of the dusk, the sun had passed, hidden behind thick black clouds. The natural changes accompanied the formation of a single pill floating in the air. The pill was brownish, very thick, making it hard to recognize that it was actually a pill.“

They all entered the house. It wasn’t good to remain outside—it would only raise questions.Indeed, the residence given to Gu Tian wasn’t luxurious. It was understandable that Wu Xiaoshi saw it as a shack compared to the homes of the clan’s elders, even though they shared the same Gu surname. The difference lay in Gu Tian’s origin from a lower realm.Wu Xiaoshi glanced at Su Yang, who still seemed to be trying to approach and seek the opportunity to become a disciple. However, Wu Xiaoshi couldn’t make that decision.“Apologies, Master Su. I can’t teach someone who is more senior than me, even if the world of cultivation allows it. Still, I will give you the chance to learn—not as my disciple, but as a peer. What do you think?”“I don’t mind. To share experiences with someone as talented as you is a blessing for me.” Su Yang took something out and handed it over. “This is a token from the Alchemist Association. With this, you will get discounts anywhere. The association will recognize

"You arrived just in time... Congratulations, your Master has been promoted to join the Main Clan. Even though it's only been a few months since he arrived on the Shentu continent, he already gained something like this. I heard it’s all thanks to you!" Gu Chang said without any small talk.Wu Xiaoshi chuckled softly and looked Gu Chang in the face. "It seems better if we talk over some tea.""No problem!" Gu Chang responded.The two of them walked to a teahouse and ordered some snacks."Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad that, thanks to me, Master Gu Tian and the four junior brothers can train peacefully and comfortably. So, how’s the mission to eliminate the Black Sect?" Wu Xiaoshi diverted the topic, as he didn’t want to discuss his master further."We’re doing that mission tonight. We’ve mobilized five hundred members of the Faction to make this assault easier. That’s why I said you came just in time," Gu Chang replied."When do we depart?" Wu Xiaoshi asked."At midnight," Gu
