Chapter 139
Of course, with his current experience, he wouldn’t rush to modify imdiately. He planned to accumulate enough foundation first, then make changes for greater gains.
Thinking of this filled him with motivation. He wasted no ti and fired up the furnace again.
Half a month passed quickly.
During that ti, Gu Yang never stopped. He refined a huge number of pills.
The most common were first-grade Qi and Blood Pills. The reason was simple: they were quick to refine.
High-grade pills like the Breaking Realm Pill were different. Materials were rare, and refining took longer. In half a month, he managed only fifty.
He also refined many third-grade Cloud Gathering Pills. These were always in demand, hard currency in the market.
“But the Alliance’s formulas are still too few. None of them improve talent.”
He frowned and stopped refining. His storage ring was already piled high with pills, nearly overflowing.
His alchemy foundation was decent, but he wasn’t in a rush to push further. His main goal was refining pills that could enhance his talent or help him break through. Right now, such formulas were scarce. Only the Breaking Realm Pill ca close, but it only broke through to the Holding Origin Realm—useless for him.
He needed other formulas.
“And my weapon is starting to fall behind.”
He frowned again. When he used his perfected sword intent, he shattered a mid-grade spirit sword. Clearly, it couldn’t withstand such pure intent.
He needed a stronger weapon. But high-grade weapons weren’t easy to find—it depended on luck.
“Wait… why don’t I refine weapons myself?”
The thought struck him suddenly. If finding one was hard, why not forge his own? His eyes lit up.
Alchemy could be modified, so weapon forging—similar in nature—should be modifiable too.
Most importantly, he rembered Ling’er saying the Forging Alliance was right next door to the Alchemy Alliance.
Without hesitation, Gu Yang left the alchemy chamber and strode straight toward the Forging Alliance.
anwhile, inside the Forging Alliance hall, the old woman from the Alchemy Alliance sat in a chair. Beside her was a burly man, clearly aged with graying hair and beard, but his muscles bulged with power.
This man was Tie Bishan, president of the Forging Alliance.
“Hehe, Yunxian, I heard your Alchemy Alliance has a peerless genius. Is that true?” Tie Bishan asked with a hearty smile.
“You’re well-inford,” Yunxian replied. Few knew her real na, and fewer dared to use it.
“Yes, his na is Gu Yang. He’s the most monstrous alchemy talent I’ve ever seen in my life!” Yunxian sipped her tea proudly.
“Ten days ago, he could already refine fifth-grade pills and beca a five-pattern alchemist. Hehe, Tie Dunzi, jealous yet?”
Tie Bishan’s face showed shock. In all their years of friendship, this was the first ti Yunxian praised soone so highly.
“A heaven’s chosen indeed…” Tie Bishan muttered, full of envy. He didn’t doubt her. Anyone she acknowledged had to be extraordinary.
“If only our Forging Alliance had such a genius. Then my craft could truly be passed down.” He sighed.
Yunxian lifted her chin, even more smug.
Just then, a burly man rushed in.
“President Tie, a man nad Gu Yang is outside asking to see you.”
Tie Bishan froze. Gu Yang? The alchemy prodigy Yunxian had just ntioned? Why was he here? Did Yunxian invite him?
He glanced at her, but she looked just as confused. Clearly, she hadn’t. Could Gu Yang have co for forging?
Tie Bishan’s eyes lit up.
“Quick, invite him in!”
“Yes!” The man hurried out and soon returned, respectfully leading Gu Yang into the hall.
“The president is over there, please.”
Gu Yang walked up to Tie Bishan and Yunxian.
“Oh? Senior, you’re here too?” He looked surprised to see Yunxian. Wasn’t she the Alchemy Alliance president? Why was she in the Forging Alliance?
“I ca to catch up with an old friend. Why are you here?” Yunxian asked curiously.
“Uh, I want to learn about forging. My weapon isn’t suitable anymore, so I thought I’d try forging one myself.” Gu Yang explained honestly.
Yunxian looked stunned.
“Why not just buy a new weapon? Why bother learning blacksmithing?” she asked, baffled.
Before Gu Yang could answer, Tie Bishan shouted angrily,
“Yunxian, that’s unfair! Why can’t he learn forging if he wants to?”
“Forging is useless. It’s just hamring iron. What future does it have?” Yunxian rolled her eyes, then turned anxiously to Gu Yang.
“Son-in-law, you mustn’t go astray. You’re already a prodigy in alchemy. If you focus for ten more years, you’ll surely beco a grandmaster!”
She couldn’t bear to see him waste his talent on forging.
“What hamring iron!? Forging is a profound art, not just banging tal!” Tie Bishan roared.
“It’s hamring iron, period!” Yunxian shot back.
“You—!”
The two presidents bickered fiercely, faces red and voices loud.
Gu Yang stood aside, wide-eyed.
Didn’t Yunxian say Tie Bishan was her old friend? They looked more like sworn enemies.
He truly couldn’t understand.
