Even the Sect Leader of Medicine King Mountain has to be respectful when he meets him.

Because he is one of the three Alchemy Masters of Medicine King Mountain, full name Situ Yan!

After all, Medicine King Mountain has laid its foundation primarily based on alchemy, so everyone from the Sect Leader and Elders to the ordinary disciples below place great importance on the art of alchemy.

Disciples skilled in alchemy hold a transcendent status within the sect.

Even alchemists are comparable to True Disciples.

Let alone the rare Alchemy Masters.

The key point is, although Situ Yan belongs to a family faction, he has quite a connection with the lineage of the sect itself, so he does not harbor hostility towards the sect lineage like others from the family factions, at most, he remains neutral.

Furthermore, He Ling True Master has quite a bit of camaraderie with him.

The reason Gu Yuan came here this time is because He Ling True Master had already spoken to Situ Yan beforehand, asking this senior brother to take care of Gu Yuan.

"Are you Gu Yuan?"

Situ Yan glanced at Gu Yuan, his expression unchanged, his reaction calm: "He Ling Brother has spoken to me. For the time being, stay here. If there's anything, feel free to come to me."

"Thank you, Master Uncle."

Gu Yuan naturally showed great respect.

This Situ Master Uncle has a senior status and is definitely superior in cultivation to He Ling True Master, so being respectful is essential. In the days to come, he needs to rely on this big shot for protection.

"Alright, you two may leave now."

Situ Yan waved his hand as if to dismiss them.

His time is precious, being busy with alchemy, taking time to meet Gu Yuan could be seen as doing an old friend a favor.

At this moment, he is at a crucial point in his alchemy; he cannot afford any disturbances.

Seeing this, Feng Shaojie glanced at Gu Yuan, with a subtle expression.

This Gu Brother, although possessing decent qualifications, hasn't received any special attention from the Master after all.

But of course, since the Master along with the sect's Elder Danxia are enthusiastic about alchemy, they care little about anything else.

"Yes, disciple takes leave."

Gu Yuan gave another bow, then instinctively glanced at the alchemy furnace before Situ Yan, and the True Flame within it, particularly noting the Spirit Pill, leaving him secretly amazed.

"Hold on!"

Just as he was about to turn and leave, Situ Yan called out to stop him.

"Does Master Uncle have any other orders?"

Gu Yuan wondered.

Situ Yan's voice came through: "I heard from He Ling Brother that you are quite interested in alchemy? Wish to learn some alchemy skills?"

Before Gu Yuan could say anything, Feng Shaojie beside him was already taken aback, his gaze at Gu Yuan becoming more suspicious.

Alchemy is an auxiliary path outside cultivation, yet it also contains profound principles of heaven and earth. Once one reaches its depths, it can similarly nourish oneself.

However, this auxiliary path is also vast and deep and is not easy to learn. To learn alchemy requires extremely high talent and enlightenment.

It's not about requiring some Spiritual Body qualification, but rather a high level of enlightenment in alchemy.

However, those with such enlightenment, although not as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, are almost as rare.

Just by looking at today's Medicine King Mountain, utilizing the power of the entire sect, they've fostered only a few hundred alchemists, a dozen Alchemy Masters, three Alchemy Masters, and one Alchemy Grandmaster, leading to some conclusions.

Even Feng Shaojie himself studied alchemy but unfortunately did not possess that talent and abruptly let go, to avoid wasting his own cultivation.

Now learning that Gu Yuan wants to learn some alchemy, he just feels it's somewhat absurd.

Indeed!

Gu Yuan's cultivation talent isn't bad, with both Water Spirit Body and Sword Heart Talent.

In many eyes on Medicine King Mountain, this kind of talent is not much inferior to Li Changsheng's Pure Yang Dao Body.

Especially since Gu Yuan has just acknowledged He Ling True Master of the sect lineage as his master.

However, good cultivation talent does not mean good alchemy talent.

Furthermore, Gu Yuan's cultivation is not high, and right now, it is indeed the time to focus on cultivation; why spend time learning alchemy!

Indeed, alchemy is vast and profound, and holds numerous benefits for future Core Formation, but the issue is that Gu Yuan has only just advanced to the Celestial Human Realm.

At this moment, it's prime time to refine Divine Techniques and lay the foundation for forming a Golden Core.

Using such precious time to learn alchemy techniques, in his view, is truly putting the cart before the horse, even somewhat arrogant.

After all, cultivators should prioritize cultivation realm.

No way!

Could this kid simply be pretending to show interest in alchemy, knowing the master's preferences?

However, as Feng Shaojie thought further, he had other speculations.

Gu Yuan respectfully replied: "Indeed, disciple is quite interested in alchemy."

"Is that so..."

Situ Yan skeptically said, "Then look at the Spirit Pill I'm refining now?"

"Please excuse me, if I say anything incorrect, I beg Master Uncle not to take offense."

Gu Yuan did not shy away, stepping forward a few paces, observing the Spirit Pill and True Flame within the alchemy furnace, then retreating a few steps, nodding, "If disciple is not mistaken, the pill Master Uncle is refining should be a Dragon Tiger Marrow Nourishing Pill!"

"This Spirit Pill uses Flood Dragon Essence Blood and Fierce Tiger Bone Marrow as the main ingredients, with 167 types of Spirit Medicine as supplementary materials, having effects of healing wounds and replenishing the original source, with certain life-extension efficacy. Even if a Golden Core Great Cultivator is seriously injured, with significant damage to the original source, barely hanging on to life, as long as the injuries do not involve the Divine Soul, they could be rescued in time."

Upon hearing this, Situ Yan was somewhat surprised. For Gu Yuan to speak with such detail, especially after just joining He Ling True Master's disciples for a few months, indicates he has genuinely studied alchemy, a point that cannot be faked.

"Is there more?"

He asked again.

Knowing these things doesn't mean much, as long as one memorizes some alchemy scriptures, these can naturally be recognized.

Gu Yuan pondered for a moment, and said, "The Dragon Tiger Marrow Nourishing Pill, although named Dragon Tiger, actually contains and employs the principle of Yin and Yang."

"Dragon is Yin, Tiger is Yang, thus achieving completeness in forming the pill."

Gu Yuan continued articulately, "Although Master Uncle refined the pill using True Flame just now, in reality, the firepower was not fully exerted, but rather used a Method of Purification to separate the medicinal properties from impurities, and then extract the necessary medicinal properties from various Spirit Medicine, such as cold, heat, heavy, light, ascend, and descend."

"The medicinal properties of these Spirit Medicine are based on the power of the Dragon and Tiger, first combining and then integrating, acting as yin and yang, mutually compensating, forming a balance, and ultimately nurturing for seven times seven, forty-nine days to form the pill."

"..."

Initially, Sima Yan didn't react much, but as he listened further, his complexion gradually grew more astonished.

Once Gu Yuan finished speaking, a smile had already emerged on his face as he looked at Gu Yuan differently, repeatedly exclaiming:

"Excellent, excellent! Well put on the yin and yang balance, exceptionally explained the mutual embodiment!"

"Boy, although your cultivation might not be significant, the fact that you can articulate this, shows your insight, and even your foundation in alchemy skills is not weak!"
