“It’s like this.”
“Today, I have placed this month’s portion of spirit gathering powder in Junior Brother Lu Ming’s cave abode.”
Gu Zecang sat on the mahogany chair and said with a smile.
As his voice fell, Lu Ming suddenly came to a realization.
He had never expected this. It turned out that there was a reason for the rich Heaven and Earth spiritual energy in his cave abode.
In the end, it was still because of Gu Zecang.
“What’s wrong, Junior Brother Lu? Why do I feel that you’re still a little unhappy?”
After he said those words, Gu Zecang, who had relied on this to gain a good impression, was also a little surprised when he saw Lu Ming’s expression suddenly change. He hurriedly asked.
“No, it’s nothing. Thank you, Senior Brother Gu.”
“It’s just that I’m very surprised. Why did senior brother give me such a precious thing like the spirit gathering powder?”
“How about this, I will give my spirit gathering powder to Senior Brother Gu later as a token of my gratitude to you. After all, you taught me alchemy until late into the night yesterday, and you even gave me medicinal herbs and a pill cauldron.”
Lu Ming also knew the reason why the Grade A cave abodes gathered the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth.
He was prepared to use this opportunity to give it away.
“Don’t, don’t.”
“Junior Brother Lu, I’ve hidden something from you regarding alchemy. I’ve come today to thank you.”
Gu Zecang quickly shook his head first and then said in a serious tone.
When Lu Ming heard this, although his expression didn’t change but countless thoughts were surging in his mind.
Could it be that the meaning of his teaching last night was too obvious?
Tsk.
It wasn’t easy for him to find Senior Brother Gu to use for a mission.
But in the end, he was discovered just like that?
If that was the case, Senior Brother Gu should be in a state of ecstasy at the precise resolution of the matter.
Would he start doubting himself after some time?
No.
He had to muddle through first.
Therefore, he immediately put on a curious look and asked, “Thank me? Senior brother, you taught me alchemy overnight. Why are you thanking me?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Zecang felt a little embarrassed for a moment, and then he spoke.
“It’s like this.”
“Junior Brother Lu, I’m afraid you don’t know that you’re absolutely a peerless genius in alchemy!”
“And as your senior brother, I’m just a person who just taught myself alchemy for a month. I know nothing.”
Gu Zecang looked at Lu Ming with some guilt.
“What alchemy skills? Yesterday, I only pretended to know because I didn’t want to be laughed at by you. In the end, I even pretended to teach you.”
“But what I didn’t expect was that Junior Brother Lu, you’re a genius in alchemy. You can condense pill fire at a glance, and you can even comprehend the way of alchemy just by looking at the pill formula!”
“But in reality, this kind of alchemy skill that you created yourself is even more amazing than the Pill Peak!”
“So, junior brother, I secretly learned it while pretending to teach you.”
Hearing this, Lu Ming slightly let out a sigh of relief.
He thought that he had taught him too obviously yesterday, and Gu Zecang knew that he was using the name of learning to teach him.
“Uh… is that so?”
“So I also have some talent in alchemy?”
At the same time he heaved a sigh of relief, Lu Ming opened his mouth and replied with a “surprised” expression.
“Yes! You’re too talented!”
“There’s one more thing, junior brother, I still feel that it’s more appropriate to discuss it with you.”
Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Gu Zecang was ready to get straight to the point.
“What’s the matter?”
Lu Ming didn’t think that there would be anything else.
Gu Zecang had learned alchemy because he had proven that he could learn alchemy by himself today. There shouldn’t be anything else.
Was he going to show off today’s battle results to him?
How ugly was the expression of the Pill Peak’s disciples?

“It’s like this.”
“I’ve been studying alchemy for a month. Actually, the reason behind it was I had some conflicts with the Pill Peak disciples, hence I’d set up a bet that I’ll be able to learn alchemy by myself in a month.”
“After I secretly learned your alchemy skills yesterday, I immediately condensed the pill fire and refined a 91% completed pill today. It scared the people of the Pill Peak silly.”
He was halfway through his sentence but because he was describing the part where he was being pretentious, Gu Zecang suddenly turned from serious to excited.
Then, when he realised it, he kept his emotions in check and said, “In the end, because Junior Brother Lu’s heaven-defying alchemy skills were too exaggerated, a Hall Master of the Pill Peak wanted me to teach the Pill Peak disciples.”
“Then, he directly offered me 10% of the Pill Peak’s pill resources each year!”
“Faced with such ridiculously generous conditions, I was very tempted, but when I thought about how I stole the alchemy skills from you, junior brother, I decided to ask for your opinion.”
As the sound of his voice faded, this time, the person who slowly turned from being calm to excited was not Gu Zecang but Lu Ming.
I didn’t expect this.
I really didn’t expect this.
When he heard Gu Zecang say that the Hall Master of the Pill Hall wanted him to teach the Pill Peak disciples, Lu Ming instantly thought of his new system mission.
Originally, he was still a little worried about how he should continue to spread the scientific alchemy technique without being suspected.
For example, he had thought about teaching through the Pill Peak.
However, the Pill Peak would definitely conduct background checks and research on a new disciple who was originally not talented, but now had a sudden burst of talent and had even developed a new alchemy technique.
It was very easy to arouse suspicion.
But Gu Zecang was different.
Although Gu Zecang had also suddenly learned alchemy, however, he was already talented in alchemy and all the disciples of the Pill Peak knew him.
In addition, he had helped the sect kill heretics many times. He had a clean background and had been in the sect for several years.
The opportunity brought about by the friction between him and the Pill Peak was perfect for him.
This was a system mission related to scientific alchemy.
There was no need for him to worry at all.
Especially when he heard that the Pill Peak was willing to give him 10% of the resources every year, he couldn’t help but feel excited.
With these resources, wouldn’t it be much easier for him to improve his strength?
Very good.
Lu Ming didn’t expect Gu Zecang, the chess piece that he had accidentally selected, would bring him such a huge benefit.
Lu Ming was silent for a long time. He made a thoughtful gesture and then slowly revealed a smile.
“So that’s how it is. Senior Brother Gu is indeed worthy of being called senior brother. When he could have taken such benefits for himself, he took the initiative to tell me.”
As he had transmigrated here, Lu Ming had always been wary of others because he was unfamiliar with them.
Through this matter, this was the first time that he had let down his guard against Gu Zecang and had the intention of sincerely befriending him.
After all, one had to know that not everyone could face such great benefits and still not lose their heads.
They were talking about the resources of the Pill Peak.
Moreover, it was 10% of the resources of the Pill Peak every year!
After the transaction, the number of spirit stones would be a terrifying amount.
Yet, Gu Zecang still chose to tell him about it.
He even brought it up in a guilty tone.
It was evident that he had a good character.
“This is what I should do. I, Gu Zecang, am not an ungrateful person.”
Hearing the compliment, Gu Zecang, who had always cared about his reputation, didn’t show a happy expression on his face; instead, he showed a serious expression.
It was as if he was saying, “Isn’t this the most basic principle of being a human being?”
“Junior Brother Lu, the other thing is that although the disciples of the Pill Peak are a little arrogant and annoying, they are still disciples of our Center Sect.”
“I still want to agree to this deal. After all, the sect will still distribute the improved healing pills to the disciples so that they can better kill the heretics.”
“Of course, if Junior Brother Lu is unwilling, I have no objection to it and I won’t bring it up again in the future.”
Having said that, Lu Ming understood that he needed to make a statement.
Though he didn’t have much affection for the Center Sect at the moment, it would be beneficial for him to complete the system mission and he would be able to obtain such a large amount of resources. Lu Ming was still very satisfied.

Hence, he said, “I’ve thought about it. Since Pill Peak has offered such generous conditions, it’s not like we can’t teach the alchemy skills that I created by chance.”
“But Senior Brother Gu, do you guarantee that Pill Peak is willing to exchange 10% of the resources every year?”
“This is not a small amount.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Zecang’s face did not show any hesitation because of this. It was obvious that he was thinking about this matter.
He had thought about it before.
