Chapter 15 Storm

Gu Changhuan was stunned. He used his spiritual consciousness to scan the entire Baiyi Department, and after confirming that there was only one person inside, he walked outside the door, looked at the plaque of Baiyi Department on the door, and fell into deep thought.

In his imagination, the Baiyi Department should be a bunch of technical geeks working together to make elixirs, weapons, and talismans in full swing. Why is there no one there now?

Gu Changhuan had reason to believe that if this tribesman hadn't snored so loudly, the trees outside Baiyi Department would have been filled with sparrows.

He walked forward and said, "Hello, Uncle Clan, is this the Baiyi Department here?"

"Ah! Who? This is Baiyi Department, what can you do?" The monk lying on the counter was awakened, he yawned and asked.

"Hello, uncle, my nephew Gu Changhuan. I came to Baiyi Division to learn alchemy." Gu Changhuan still felt a little unreal when he looked at his uncle with a big beard and an unkempt appearance. m.

The Gu family is famous for their alchemy skills, but the place where they study alchemy is so deserted. Isn't it strange?

This tribesman looks quite young, he should be a generational uncle, right?

"Learning alchemy? You've come to the wrong place." The bearded man said after stretching.

"Did you come here by mistake?" Gu Changhuan was stunned again.

"The days for learning alchemy fall on the fourth and fifth days of every month. Today is... the 20th. Come back on the 24th!" said the bearded monk.

"The days taught by the Gu family's Baiyi Department for cultivating immortals and hundred arts are all fixed: teaching weapon refining and formations on the first and second days of each month, alchemy refining on the fourth and fifth days, and drawing talismans on the seventh and eighth days."

Gu Changhuan never thought that he would have to divide his time to study in Baiyi Division. Just when he didn't know what to say, the bearded man took out a pile of books from his storage bag.

"Take these back and study them carefully. The elders who teach alchemy are very strict." The bearded man warned.

Gu Changhuan took the book from Big Beard. He did not expect that this clan uncle was still a warm-hearted person. He looked at the titles of the books and found that he had memorized them all and knew them by heart.

He accepted the books

"My nephew doesn't know his uncle's name yet."

"I'm Gu Shiwen," the bearded man said.

The corner of Gu Changhuan's mouth twitched. He obviously didn't expect that his clan uncle would have a name that didn't match his appearance at all.

Gu Shiwen didn't pay attention to Gu Changhuan's confused look, "Do you have anything else to ask?"

Seeing that Gu Shiwen issued an order to expel guests, Gu Changhuan wisely left.

After coming out of Baiyi Department, Gu Changhuan went to see the clan leader Gu Wanchang.

He missed his grandfather a little. Now that Gu Wanhao has been away for half a year, he should be back soon, right?

"Brother Twelve will be back tomorrow!"

When Gu Changhuan heard the news, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

He suddenly thought of something. Maybe the clan leader could explain it to him.

"Clan leader, Chang Huan has been taught by Great Grandpa for half a year, and he is well aware of Great Grandpa's care and enthusiasm for the family. But after I told Grandpa that Chang Cheng had two spiritual roots, Grandpa seemed a little melancholy. Don’t know why?”

Hearing this, Gu Wanchang sighed.

"Chang Huan, do you know what your great-grandfather's spiritual qualifications are?" he asked.

"My great-grandfather has not revealed it, but I guess that my great-grandfather can cultivate to the late stage of foundation building, and his spiritual root qualifications should be good." Gu Changhuan replied.

Gu Wanchang smiled bitterly, "It's not bad. Your great-grandfather is a genius with two spiritual roots. He has hope of breaking through to the Zi Mansion."

It turned out to be a double spiritual root!

"But your great-grandfather's twin spiritual roots are water and fire. Water and fire are incompatible. It's okay if you don't use all your strength on weekdays. If you use all your strength, water and fire will restrain each other. If the spiritual power is reversed, the meridians will be destroyed at best, or you will die on the spot.

So over the years, your great-grandfather has never taken action with all his strength, but he is already the number one person in the foundation building period of Jiuqi Mountains! But if you want to break through to the Zifu stage, even your great-great-grandfather must try his best to have any hope, so..."

Gu Wanchang couldn't help but sigh when he said this.

If the attributes of Gu Xuan and his spiritual roots were in conflict, the Gu family would already have a master from the Zifu.

Gu Changhuan couldn't help but ask, "Is there nothing we can do?"

Grandpa obviously has the qualifications of the Purple Mansion, but does he have to sit in the foundation building stage because his spiritual roots are in conflict and cannot break through? Then God is too unfair to my great-grandfather!

"have!"

Gu Wanchang replied.

"If there is a fourth-level earth attribute spirit to coordinate and balance the water and fire, your great grandfather will have a chance to reach the Zifu stage. At the worst, it will need a third-level high-grade earth attribute spirit."

"And this kind of earth-attributed spiritual creature must have a mild spiritual energy and a thick inner substance."

Gu Changhuan couldn't help but feel disappointed. The fourth-level spiritual objects were not affordable for a small family like the Gu family, and the third-level high-grade earth attribute spiritual objects were also marketable and priceless.

It can be said that if there were no accidents, Gu Xuanzhan's path would have stopped at the foundation building stage.

After learning that Gu Xuanzhan's breakthrough was hopeless, Gu Changhuan felt a little weak. Even the happiness brought by knowing that Gu Wanhao would be back tomorrow was gone.

So when Gu Wanhao returned to Bifeng Mountain, he saw Gu Changhuan who looked like he had been beaten by frost.

After knowing the reason why Gu Changhuan was unhappy, Gu Wanhao was extremely helpless. He also knew about Gu Xuan's spiritual root problem. Every time he thought of this moment, he couldn't help but sigh that fate was playing tricks on people.

The family has been looking for a third-level high-grade earth-attribute spiritual object for these years, and even asked the two ancestors of the Fang family and Zhang family, but there was no response at all.

"Grandpa, I went to the family's Baiyi Department yesterday, but I didn't see the elder who taught alchemy. Now that grandpa is back, can you teach the elder how to make alchemy?"

Gu Changhuan changed the topic.

There is no problem in teaching Chang Huan to make pills, but...

Gu Wanhao stroked his beard. He could only stay in Bifeng Mountain for a few days before returning to Jiuqi Market. If he teaches Gu Chang Huan, I am afraid...

Why not take Chang Huan to the market? Gu Wanhao thinks this plan is feasible.

Gu Chang Huan now understands the basic knowledge of the world of immortal cultivation, and does not need someone to teach him every day. The abundant spiritual energy in the market will not delay Gu Chang Huan's cultivation, and it can even expand Gu Chang Huan's knowledge.

"Grandpa plans to take Chang Huan to the market to practice. Is Chang Huan willing?"

"Really? I am willing!" Gu Chang Huan had heard Gu Shiyuan talk about the prosperous and lively scene in the market, and he had longed for it!

"As for alchemy, there is no rush now. It is not too late to learn alchemy when you reach the middle stage of Qi training. You just need to read and memorize the books that Grandpa gave you before learning."

Gu Wanhao said.

Gu Wanchang knew that Gu Wanhao wanted to take Gu Changhuan to the market to practice, so he did not stop him. Jiuqi Market is the largest market in Jiuqi Mountains, and there is also the Zhang family ancestor in charge. It is safer than Bifeng Mountain, so he does not have to worry about Gu Changhuan's safety.

He is now counting the supplies brought back by Gu Wanhao with Gu Wanhua, the elder of the General Affairs Hall. If this batch of supplies is used properly, it can play a decisive role in the next monster riot.

A few days later, Gu Wanhao brought Gu Changhuan back to Jiuqi Market again. There were two alchemy apprentices from Baiyi Division accompanying the grandfather and grandson. One of them was Gu Shiyou, and the other was also Gu's uncle of the Shi generation, named Gu Shizhuo.

However, Gu Shizhuo already had some alchemy foundation. The purpose of coming to the market this time was to gain experience. Of course, it would be a pleasant surprise if he could get guidance from Gu Wanhao.

The Gu family has a total of four stores in Jiuqifang City, three of which sell elixirs, spiritual grains, spiritual wine, talismans, and array plates. The other one is a restaurant.

Gu Wanhao is naturally in charge of the family's store that sells elixirs - Wanbao Dan Pavilion.

As soon as he entered Wanbao Dan Pavilion, someone came to greet him.

"So it's the elder who's back? This is the elder's grandson Changhuan, right? Brother Changhuan, I'm your fourth brother Gu Changde. I hope you'll take care of me in the future. The elder came to ask you to make elixirs yesterday when he was in the late stage of Qi training. See if it's convenient, but that fellow Taoist is really generous! He spent hundreds of spirit stones at a time..." Gu Changde kept talking like a machine gun, as if there were ten thousand words under his tongue.

"Okay, Changde." Gu Wanhao interrupted Gu Changde.
