After the idea of hugging someone's thigh was confirmed, it could not be implemented immediately.
What Gu Liuyun needed to do now was to complete the entry mission first. Only then would he be considered an official disciple.
For a mission as difficult as picking the purple-leaf grass, if one were to use one sentence to evaluate it, it would be that one had hands.
Especially after Gu Liuyun learned from the managing elder that there was Violetleaf Grass in the bamboo forest beside the branch hall, he immediately went to pick it. In less than the time for an incense stick to burn, he had collected 20 stalks of Violetleaf Grass.
Following the instructions given by the managing elder, he ran all the way to the medicine hall of the branch hall.
The Medicine Hall was a necessary hall for every branch hall in the Holy Zhi Palace. Apart from being responsible for providing pills to the sect, it was mostly for external transactions.
Thirty percent of the Holy Zhi Palace's annual Spirit Stone income came from the sale of medicinal pills, so the Medicine Hall's status in the Holy Zhi Palace was not low.
Gu Liuyun came to the entrance of the medicine hall and politely bowed to a disciple wearing the medicine hall's uniform who was on duty at the door.
"Senior Brother, I'm here to submit the Purple Leaf Grass mission.”
The Medicine Hall disciple glanced at him and nodded slightly, saying,""Go in. Elder Wu is in the pill room on the right. Just give him the Purple Leaf Grass.”
Gu Liuyun bowed again, then walked down the right corridor into the medicine hall.
A moment later, he saw a bamboo sign hanging at the door of a room with the words 'Pill Room' written on it. A faint pill fragrance floated out from it.
When he arrived at the door, Gu Liuyun saw that there was indeed a skinny old man wearing the robe of an elder of the Medicine Hall inside. He was refining pills from the furnace.
If it were any other player, they might have gone up to submit the mission.
However, Gu Liuyun did not do so. When he saw that the fire had been lit, he immediately stopped talking and stood quietly in front of the door.
Alchemists needed to calm their hearts and condense their qi when they were refining pills, so they were most afraid of being disturbed.
If he was disturbed as soon as he started the furnace, it might not cause any damage, but it would greatly affect his mood.
Gu Liuyun had learned about the art of alchemy in his previous life, so he was very clear about these things.
Elder Wu, who was refining pills, ignored him. He muttered as he carefully placed the medicinal herbs into the furnace.
" Two Hundred Bell Flowers…two Red Flame Ginseng…one Redwood Root…"
Gu Liuyun waited quietly at the side for an hour.
As time passed, the medicinal fragrance in the pill furnace became stronger and stronger, and Elder Wu's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Success…Success…"
However, at this moment, a popping sound suddenly came from the pill furnace. Then, the medicinal fragrance suddenly disappeared, and a charred smell instantly spread throughout the pill room.
Elder Wu's expression froze, and he immediately sighed in annoyance,""I failed again. What went wrong…"
Gu Liuyun watched the entire process of refining the pill and immediately recognized that it was the Blood Burst Pill developed by the Dao Palace in his previous life.
The Blood Burst Pill was a necessary pill for body cultivators in his previous life. Gu Liuyun was an old body cultivator, so he naturally knew where Elder Wu had gone wrong.
Thus, he deliberated over his words and said softly,""Although the twenty-year-old redwood has good wood properties, it is not good at swimming.”
After saying this, he did not say anything else.
When Elder Wu heard this, he was stunned. As if he had understood something, his eyes instantly lit up and he once again lit up the furnace to refine pills.
However, this time, he had replaced the twenty-year-old Redwood Root with a fifteen-year-old one.
Another hour passed, and the medicinal fragrance wafted out from the pill furnace again. Even when Elder Wu put away the pill furnace, the medicinal fragrance did not dissipate.
"Clang!"
Elder Wu opened the lid of the furnace, and a round red pill flew out and landed in his hand.
"Haha, the Redwood Root loses a bit of water every five years. I actually forgot this.”
Then, he turned to look at Gu Liuyun and saw him standing quietly at the side. He was handsome and had an otherworldly aura. He immediately revealed an appreciative gaze.
Ding! Medicine Hall Elder Wu Simiao has praised you, Favorability 10!
Gu Liuyun was delighted. It seemed like his reminder had helped Elder Wu a lot. With the support of his high charm, his favorability had increased.
He stepped forward and bowed respectfully." Greetings, Elder Wu. Disciple Gu Liuyun is here to submit the entry mission."”
"Entry mission?"
Elder Wu sized him up and said in surprise,""Without any cultivation, you can determine the age of the redwood root based on your perception?”
Gu Liuyun scratched his head.”
Elder Wu was surprised. He took out a spirit stone and crushed it. Spiritual energy instantly scattered.
What happened next made Elder Wu's eyes widen.
The scattered spiritual energy slowly gathered around Gu Liuyun's body and only dissipated after a while.
"High-grade spiritual resources! It's actually a high-grade spiritual talent!"
Gu Liuyun smiled to himself when he saw this. Elder Wu had used a simple method to roughly measure the spiritual endowment. He could roughly determine the spiritual endowment of others based on the performance of their spiritual aura, but he could not know the exact value.
Whether it was a spell cultivator or a pill cultivator, spiritual resources were very important.
A disciple with a high grade spiritual talent could be nurtured as a closed door disciple!
Elder Wu looked at Gu Liuyun as if he was looking at a piece of precious jade.
"Are you willing to take me as your master and learn the path of pill cultivation?”
Ding! [Triggered opportunity: Elder Wu Simiao of the Medicine Hall wants to take you as his disciple. Do you accept?]
