The Good-for-Nothing's Counterattack: Full-time Spiritual Master

In the pharmacy

"Come, learn how to control fire and mental power first." Mr. Gu was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"Just tell me the steps of making the elixir," Gu Li interrupted him.

"You haven't even started learning yet, so don't worry. I'll teach you the steps later," Mr. Gu said patiently.

"No, I don't want to waste so much time, just tell me the steps." Gu Li's tone was impatient.

"Alchemy requires time, don't be impatient." Mr. Gu's face turned a little ugly.

"Just tell me and it's all. Why are you so slow, old man?" Gu Li rolled his eyes.

Mr. Gu was so angry that he couldn't speak. He just stared at her.

"Okay." He wanted to see how she practiced and dampen her enthusiasm, so that this little girl wouldn't become too arrogant.

"Use your own spiritual power to control the temperature and intensity of the flame in the alchemy furnace. This requires the alchemist to have a precise grasp of the temperature. The temperature may change throughout the entire alchemy process, sometimes refining with a strong fire, and sometimes warming with a gentle fire.

Use mental power to sense the fusion of medicinal materials in the furnace, stir and blend the ingredients of various medicinal materials in a timely manner to promote their fusion.

At the critical moment, spiritual power needs to be injected to stimulate the formation of the pill.

When all the medicinal ingredients are perfectly blended and the pill is gradually taking shape, the fire needs to be quickly turned off to prevent the pill from being damaged due to over-refining." Mr. Gu briefly explained.

"Oh, then I'll try it." Gu Li took out the herbs and prepared to start.

Gu Li followed the procedures that Master Gu had said, step by step, put the spiritual herbs into the alchemy furnace and started.

"Why did you put all the spiritual herbs in? It will easily cause the furnace to explode! Refine one before putting the others in!" Seeing Gu Li's alchemy technique, Old Gu was stunned.

Gu Li ignored what he said and concentrated on refining the elixir. Her spiritual power penetrated into the elixir furnace, carefully wrapped each spiritual herb and began to refine it. At the same time, she used her spiritual power to control the temperature of the elixir furnace to ensure that everything was just right.

As time went by, the spiritual herbs were gradually refined into liquid, emitting a rich aroma. Gu Li's spiritual power continued to stir the spiritual liquid in the furnace to make it fully mixed.

When the spiritual liquids were completely fused together, Gu Li's mental power tightly controlled them, allowing them to slowly condense into the shape of a pill. Just as the pill was about to be formed, she quickly injected a large amount of spiritual power, coordinating with her mental power to complete the final pill-forming process.

Instantly, the whole room was filled with a rich elixir fragrance, which was intoxicating. Gu Li knew that she had succeeded, and she quickly turned off the fire to prevent the elixir from over-condensing.

However, Mr. Gu standing by was already dumbfounded, as if he had turned into a sculpture. He couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes, and he was filled with endless shock.

"This is not difficult!" Gu Li said as he opened the alchemy furnace. He saw ten plump white pills lying neatly inside, emitting bursts of rich pill fragrance.

"Second-grade Huiling Pill!" Old Gu's shocked voice suddenly rang out. He widened his eyes and stared at the pill in front of him in disbelief.

"This... is this really your first time refining the elixir? You are not lying to me, are you?" Mr. Gu's tone was full of doubt and surprise.

"Why would I lie to you?" Gu Li curled his lips, looking disapproving.

After hearing this, Mr. Gu was even more shocked. He originally thought that Gu Li was just too arrogant, but he didn't expect that she could refine the second-grade Huiling Pill so easily, and it was her first time to refine the pill!

Gu Li looked at the shocked look on Gu Lao's face and found it a little funny. Perhaps her performance was too amazing and frightened the experienced old man. However, she did not intend to explain too much. After all, her mental strength was very strong, and refining medicine was not that difficult for her. So, she quietly put away the pills and turned to leave the medicine cabinet.

When Mr. Gu finally came to his senses from his shock, Gu Li had already disappeared.

He hurried to look for Gu Li, but was told that Gu Li had already left. He turned to look for Gu Chentian. He wanted to tell the head of the family about this matter and not let him be frightened alone.

After leaving the house, Gu Li found a secluded alley, changed his clothes, put on a hood, and went to the auction house.

The old man gave her an invitation to the auction the day before yesterday, which happened to be tonight.

I plan to go to the auction house to see if there are any precious spiritual herbs, and also buy a batch of spiritual herbs needed for other elixirs.

Xuantian Auction House

"Sir, please come in." A maid led Gu Li to the private room on the second floor.

After Gu Li entered the box, the maid who led her over said, "Guest, if you need to bid, just press the button on the seat. I'm at the door, just call me if you need anything."

After saying that, he left the box.

Gu Li took off her hood, revealing her beautiful face. She sat there quietly, looking at the auction floor.

There is a screen in front of the seat, through which one can clearly see the scene on the auction table outside.

There were still many seats in the audience, and quite a few people were already sitting there, making the whole scene extremely lively.

As time went by, the auction finally officially began.

A beautiful woman walked onto the stage, and her appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention. She was wearing a gorgeous long dress, with a graceful figure and a charming smile on her face.

"Hello everyone, I am the host of Xuantian Auction House." The woman smiled slightly, her voice was crisp and pleasant, as beautiful as a yellow warbler singing out of a valley. Her beautiful appearance and gentle smile instantly attracted the hearts of many men present.

Then, the first auction item was brought onto the stage. It was a sword shining with red light.

"Our first auction item is a top-grade spiritual treasure - the Scarlet Blood Sword!" the woman introduced in a tender voice: "This sword is extremely sharp and powerful. It can help spiritual masters to exert greater strength in battle. The starting price is 200,000 spiritual stones!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of exclamations at the scene. The first item was a top-grade spiritual treasure. It was worthy of being the number one auction house in the four countries.

Two hundred thousand spirit stones is a considerable sum for ordinary cultivators, but for those powerful and wealthy people, this amount of money is nothing.

"21!" a voice rang out, followed by another voice shouting, "25!" The price continued to rise and the atmosphere became tense.

"30 million!"

"35!" another person bid unyieldingly.

However, this was not the end, the price continued to rise "40!"

With this offer, the scene fell into silence. Many people had given up. The price was too high, exceeding the price of the sword itself.

Soon, the first round of auction ended.
