Chapter 115: In the Future, I’ll Grant You a Great Fortune!
"A six-colored pill thunder for an eighth-tier pill? How is that even possible?"
From a distant peak, Xun'er gazed at the six-colored thundercloud above Gu Fei's mountain, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
Given Gu Fei's current age and accomplishments, in the future, he might even ascend to the level of a ninth-tier alchemy grandmaster. His talent was terrifying.
"If I hadn't parted ways with him back then, he probably would have presented this pill to me first, trying to win my favor..."
A bitter smile appeared on Xun'er's lips as memories of the past flooded her mind.
Back then, Gu Fei had been so gentle with her, never raising his voice.
Whenever he had something good, Gu Fei would always offer it to Xun'er first.
"Did I take his kindness for granted back then, and that's why I didn't cherish it..."
Xun'er questioned herself, suddenly realizing that she might have lost something truly important.
...
"Wow, a six-colored pill thunder, Brother Gu Fei, you're amazing!"
Zi Yan looked at the pill in Gu Fei's hand, drooling as she sensed the terrifying energy contained within it.
"You little glutton, if you eat this pill now, your stomach might burst..."
Gu Fei shot a playful glance at Zi Yan before turning to hand the pill to Venerable Tian Huo. "Sir Yao, if you take this pill, your strength should return to its peak!"
"This... thank you!"
Seeing Gu Fei offer such a precious pill to him, Venerable Tian Huo was deeply grateful.
Originally, Gu Fei had already done him a great favor by rescuing him from the magma sea and later helping to revive his body. Now, Gu Fei was gifting him an eighth-tier pill to restore his strength.
Venerable Tian Huo felt that words were not enough to express his gratitude for such immense kindness.
"Zi Yan, do you also want a high-tier pill like this?"
Noticing Zi Yan's envious gaze, Gu Fei turned his head and asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes!"
Zi Yan nodded eagerly. She was eager to grow stronger quickly, especially after visiting Ancient Dragon Island and learning about the division within the Ancient Void Dragon tribe.
Though she appeared carefree on the surface, she had her own concerns.
To re-unite her fractured clan, as the sole remaining royal bloodline, she needed to step forward.
But even as the only royal bloodline, if her strength was too weak, it would be difficult for her to gain respect.
"Alright, help me with a small task, and I'll reward you with a great fortune in the future!"
"A great fortune? How great?"
Zi Yan's eyes lit up at Gu Fei's words.
"Heh, I can only tell you that this fortune is worth no less than a ninth-tier treasure pill, or even a ninth-tier mysterious pill..."
(TL/n: Btw Tier 9 Pills is separated into three grades: Treasure Pill, Mysterious Pill, and Golden Pill. You need a soul at the Heaven Realm stage to even refine one.)
Gu Fei chuckled, referring to the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit from an ancient ruin.
This fruit, a rare and precious artifact, could only be born when both an Ancient Void Dragon and an Ancient Heaven Phoenix perished simultaneously. It could only be used by magical beasts of those two bloodlines.
By refining the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, individuals of these two bloodlines had a chance to evolve into supreme magical beasts possessing the combined bloodline of both the dragon and phoenix.
They could gain a true Magical Beast Royal Bloodline! The Ancient Dragon Phoenix!
"Is it really that powerful..."
"Alright then, what do you need me to do?"
Trusting Gu Fei, Zi Yan immediately agreed.
"I want to refine the Three Thousand Burning Flame. Its true form closely resembles your Ancient Void Dragon clan's form..."
Before Gu Fei could finish, Zi Yan interjected, "Brother Gu Fei, you even know these secrets of my clan..."
"Actually, when I first heard you wanted to refine the Three Thousand Burning Flame, I paid special attention. There are records in my clan's archives!"
"A long time ago, probably when the Three Thousand Burning Flame was still in its infancy, one of my clan's predecessors discovered it. However, at that time, the Three Thousand Burning Flame was too weak to be of any use, so that predecessor left a dragon seal within it. That's why it eventually grew into a form similar to my clan's."
Zi Yan explained with a shrug.
"So that's how it is..."
Hearing this, the others were shocked.
"In that case, the Three Thousand Burning Flame is already claimed..."
Venerable Tian Huo raised a concern.
"If that predecessor were still alive, then yes, the flame would belong to them. But according to our records, that predecessor vanished without a trace during a spatial journey long ago. After so many years, they're likely long gone..."
Zi Yan shook her head.
"Brother Gu Fei, you probably knew this, right?" Zi Yan looked at Gu Fei.
"Yes."
Gu Fei nodded, not hiding the fact. He had already informed Zi Yan about her lineage when they first met at the academy, so it wasn't surprising that he knew about the Ancient Void Dragon clan.
"Brother Gu Fei, I actually prepared something for you. I stole a dragon seal from one of my clan's sleeping elders. But it's a gamble- if you win, you'll control the Three Thousand Burning Flame. If you lose, the Three Thousand Burning flame gains control of you instead."
"But, my dragon seal should be much stronger than the one left by that predecessor..."
Zi Yan hesitated, revealing her concerns.
"You little rascal, how could you bring out something so dangerous!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian couldn't help but worry for Gu Fei, glaring at Zi Yan.
She knew that the Three Thousand Burning Flame had been in the star realm for a long time, and even the three pinnacle Dou Venerates of the Pill Tower couldn't refine it.
"Don't worry, I rarely do things I'm not confident about... Once the elders of the Gu clan severely weakens the Three Thousand Burning Flame, it will have no strength left to resist me..."
Gu Fei smiled confidently.
"That's right, with the strength of the Gu clan, if the Three Thousand Burning Flame is greatly weakened, refining it will be much easier..."
Zi Yan quickly realized, glancing at Xiao Yi Xian with a sheepish smile.
She then took out a jade bottle from her storage ring, containing dark golden blood that emitted a faint dragon's might.
"Hehe, let's place a dragon seal on you too!"
Zi Yan carefully dripped a drop of the dark golden blood onto Gu Fei's palm.
As the blood fell on his palm, Zi Yan quickly formed a hand seal, and the dark golden blood flowed and formed a strange rune, sticking to Gu Fei's palm.
With this dragon seal, Gu Fei immediately took the remaining bottle of dragon blood and quickly left the peak, heading deeper into the mountains.
