Gu Changhuan was stunned. He scanned the entire Baiyi Department with his spiritual consciousness, 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 the 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 Clan, my nephew Gu Changhuan, I came to Baiyi Division to learn alchemy." Gu Changhuan still felt a bit unreal when he looked at his uncle with a big beard and an unkempt appearance.
The Gu family is famous for their alchemy skills, but the place where they study alchemy is so deserted. This is so 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 Baiyi 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 already memorized these books 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 had given the order to expel the guests, Gu Changhuan wisely left.
After coming out of the 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?
"The twelfth brother 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 has two spiritual roots, Grandpa seemed a little melancholy. Don’t know why?”
Hearing this, Gu Wanchang sighed.
"Chang Huan, does he know what your great-grandfather's spiritual qualifications are?" he asked.
"My great-great-grandfather has not disclosed it, but I guess that my great-grandfather can cultivate to the late stage of foundation building, and his spiritual root qualifications should be quite good." Gu Changhuan replied.
Gu Wanchang smiled bitterly, "It's not bad. Your great-grandfather is a genius with two spiritual roots. There is hope of breaking through to the Zi Mansion."
It turns out to be two spiritual roots!
"But your great-grandfather's 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 for so many years, your great-grandfather has never made a move with all his strength, but he is already the number one person in the Jiuqi Mountains in the foundation-building stage! However, if you want to break through to the Zifu stage, even your great-grandfather must try his best to have any hope.
so······"
Gu Wanchang couldn't help but sigh when he said this.
If there was a conflict in the attributes of Gu Xuan and his spiritual roots, 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, so why should he sit in the foundation-building stage because his spiritual roots are conflicting and unable to break through? Then God would be too unfair to Grandpa!
"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 Purple Mansion Stage. At 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-attributed 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 knowing the news that Gu Xuanzhan had no hope of breaking through, Gu Changhuan felt a little weak. Even the happiness brought by the news that Gu Wanhao would come back tomorrow was gone.
So when Gu Wanhao returned to Bifeng Mountain, he saw Gu Changhuan who looked as if he had been beaten by frost.
After knowing the reason for Gu Changhuan's unhappiness, Gu Wanhao was extremely helpless. He also knew about Gu Xuanzhan's spiritual root problem. Every time he thought of this moment, he couldn't help but lament that fate was playing tricks on people.
The family has been looking for a third-level high-grade earth-attributed spiritual object for these years, and even asked the two ancestors of the Fang family and the 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.
Of course there is no problem with the dean’s joy in refining elixirs, but...
Gu Wanhao touched his beard. He could only stay in Bifeng Mountain for a few days before returning to Jiuqifang City to take charge. As for Gu Changhuan, I'm afraid...
Why not take Chang Huan to Fangshi? Gu Wanhao thinks this plan is feasible.
Gu Changhuan now understands the basic knowledge of the world of immortality, and does not need someone to teach him carefully every day. The sufficient spiritual energy in the city will not delay Gu Changhuan's cultivation, and it can even expand Gu Changhuan's knowledge.
"Grandpa plans to take Chang Huan to Fangshi to practice. Is Chang Huan willing?"
"Really? I do!" Gu Changhuan had heard Gu Shiyuan talk about the prosperous and lively scene in the market, and he had longed for it!
"As for alchemy, don't rush now. It won't be 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 you start learning."
Gu Wanhao said.
Gu Wanchang knew that Gu Wanhao wanted to take Gu Changhuan to practice in Fangshi, but he never stopped him. Jiuxifang City is the largest Fangshi in Jiuqi Mountains, and the ancestors of the Zhang family are in charge. It is safer than Bifeng Mountain, so he doesn't have to worry about Gu Changhuan.
security issues.
He is currently counting the supplies brought back by Gu Wanhao with Gu Wanhua, the elder of the General Affairs Hall. If these supplies are used properly, they can play a decisive role in the subsequent monster turmoil.
A few days later, Gu Wanhao and Gu Changhuan returned to Jiuqifang City again. Accompanying them were two alchemy apprentices from the Baiyi Division, one of whom was Gu Shiyou, and the other was an uncle of the Gu family.
, named Gu Shizhuo.
However, Gu Shizhuo already has some foundation in alchemy. The purpose of coming to Fangshi this time is to gain experience. Of course, it would be an unexpected surprise if he could get guidance from Gu Wanhao.
The Gu family has a total of four shops in Jiuqifang City, three of which sell spiritual pills, spiritual grains, spiritual wine, talismans, formation disks and other items respectively. The other one is a restaurant.
Gu Wanhao is naturally in charge of the family's shop that sells elixirs - Wanbao Dan Pavilion.
As soon as he entered Wanbaodan Pavilion, someone came to greet him.
"So it's the Great Elder who's back? This is the Great Elder's grandson, Chang Huan, right? Brother Chang Huan, I am your fourth brother Gu Changde. I hope that Brother Chang Huan will take care of you in the future. The Great Elder came yesterday
I want to ask you to make elixirs in the later stage of Qi training. It’s inconvenient for you to see, but that fellow Taoist is really very generous! He gave away hundreds of spiritual stones..." Gu Changde said in a flurry
He kept talking as if he had ten thousand words under his tongue.
