Mundane Saint

Chapter 62 – This kind of medicine, my apprentice can easily refine!

"Finally, it's done."

Gu Heng looked at the large iron pot filled with light blue medicine liquid, feeling quite pleased.

This kind of medicine liquid was incredibly easy to refine.

When he was honing his "medical skills," it was always a gradual process, starting with the simplest tasks. This kind of medicine didn't require any attention to the heat, but as he progressed, the demands on controlling the heat increased, and he also had to consider the timing of adding the ingredients.

However, his "medical skills" had long reached a state of mastery. The techniques of refining medicine had seamlessly integrated into his mind as his proficiency increased, making them unforgettable.

He had only simmered these medicine liquids for the time it took to drink a cup of tea.

Moreover, the effect was thousands of times better than that so-called "Blue Spirit Liquid"!

Of course, every drop could be diluted with water, and even then, its efficacy would still surpass that of the Blue Spirit Liquid.

Now it was time to show those two young ladies his skills, to let them know that he was indeed a professional alchemist!

With a faint smile, Gu Heng walked out from the back room and immediately sensed the unfriendly atmosphere in the front hall.

Qin Yiyao stood with her arms crossed, like a proud young lady, while Little Mu and Little Yu, like maids, were trembling under her gaze.

This girl, she could actually intimidate others?

"Yiyao, don't make it hard for them."

Gu Heng came out, his expression slightly reproachful.

After all, these two girls had just narrowly escaped from assassins, and somehow they had offended Qin Yiyao. But they were still shaken, and this girl was already putting on airs to scare them.

"Oh."

Qin Yiyao pursed her lips, finally restraining herself a bit. In her view, some people needed a good scare, or who knows what might happen.

"Also, I let a rat get away."

Qin Yiyao recalled that on the street, she had only managed to intercept one of the Qingfeng Treasure Hall assassins, and she felt a bit frustrated.

Two Core Formation stage two weaklings, not even fit to participate in the assassination, only to watch and relay messages. Yet she hadn't been able to finish them off quickly, giving one of them a chance to escape.

The more she thought about it, the more Qin Yiyao felt she needed to speed up her body refining progress. Once she mastered the contents of the "Body" book, her cultivation path would face fewer obstacles, and she could avoid many detours.

Her master had done enough for her; it was time to let her talent shine!

"Got away? No need to worry about it."

Gu Heng was initially puzzled why she wasn't sleeping, but it turned out there was a rat.

Such a spirited and stubborn girl still had things she feared. He thought about it and realized he should get some rat poison to regularly clean the Medicine Hall.

"Senior Gu, oh no, Young Master Gu..."

Little Yu stood up, trembling. Qin Yiyao's words had stirred a storm in her heart. It turned out the owner of the Medicine Hall wasn't an ordinary person but a powerful cultivator hiding among the common folk. She realized that her previous words might have been quite offensive.

This frightened her greatly.

But then Little Yu thought, since the disciple had said he was here to live in seclusion, not wanting to reveal his identity, and didn't like being treated as a strong cultivator, she immediately changed her address, calling him Young Master instead of Senior.

Although she said this, Little Yu and Little Mu still felt a sense of awe. Strength commanded respect, and they were indeed quite weak.

"No need to be so tense, come, follow me to the back."

Gu Heng's gaze swept over Qin Yiyao, knowing full well that these two girls were definitely frightened by her.

But since the medicine was ready, they should at least see it.

They followed him to the back room, and before they could form any thoughts about the simple and unadorned setup, Little Yu covered her mouth in shock, unable to believe the large pot of light blue liquid in front of Gu Heng. It exuded a faint, refreshing fragrance!

She had never smelled such a strange and fragrant medicinal aroma!

Moreover, he used an ordinary pot, not the special cauldron unique to alchemists!

"Young Master Gu, what kind of spiritual medicine is this?"

Little Yu and Little Mu were naturally astonished, as even a slight whiff revealed that the essence contained in this liquid far surpassed that of the Blue Spirit Liquid!

"It doesn't have a name, and I can't be bothered to name it. I refined it just to show you that the Blue Spirit Liquid is nothing."

Gu Heng's lips curled slightly.

Hearing such calm yet domineering words, Little Yu dared not be negligent. Before she could say anything, Gu Heng had Qin Yiyao fetch a basin of cold water, then took a bit of the liquid from the pot and dripped it in.

With just one drop, the entire basin of water quickly turned light blue. In the astonished eyes of the two girls, they noticed that the basin of cold water rapidly gained medicinal properties, transforming into another basin of "medicine liquid" in just a dozen breaths!

This...

Could it really be done like this?

Though not alchemists themselves, they had seen alchemists' concoctions and pills at the Golden Phoenix Treasure Hall. Never had they heard of a medicine liquid that, when dripped into water, could transform the entire basin into a healing potion!

Gu Heng took a jade bottle—something he usually kept on hand—and filled it with some of the light blue liquid from the basin, handing it to Little Yu.

"Why don't you compare and see which of these two medicines is superior?"

Little Yu hesitated, looking at Gu Heng, who appeared relaxed, as if he was genuinely asking her to test the medicine.

"Yes..."

After a moment's hesitation, Little Yu reached out and took the jade bottle from Gu Heng's hand. The cool medicinal power instantly cleared her mind.

This blue liquid was undoubtedly much stronger than the Blue Spirit Liquid from Qingfeng Treasure Hall!

Moreover, its efficacy far surpassed the low-grade healing potions currently sold at their Golden Phoenix Treasure Hall!

As for the difficulty of refining it...

This Young Master Gu was such a formidable cultivator. His disciple had already opened their eyes, scaring them quite a bit. For someone of his caliber, refining low-grade healing potions might be as simple as a routine task.

Seemingly reading Little Yu's thoughts, Gu Heng pulled Qin Yiyao in front of him and patted her head.

"This kind of potion, my disciple can learn to refine it in a day."

Hmm? What was her master up to?

She had never learned alchemy.

Alchemy required talent, and Qin Yiyao knew she didn't have it.

Qin Yiyao looked at him with confusion, but Gu Heng only gave her a reassuring look, as if to say, "Trust me, your master knows what he's doing."

This statement undoubtedly gave Little Yu the greatest shock.

She looked deeply at Gu Heng, then finally lowered her gaze.
