Chapter 777: Chapter 775: Grass Returning Pill Formula

When Gu Xi saw the alchemist, he was immediately taken aback by the sight.

In Gu Xi’s mind, an alchemist should either look like a white-bearded immortal with an ethereal aura, or like a robust man steeped in smoke and fire.

The presence in front of him, with different colored tumors on his face, short and fat, looked nothing like an alchemist.

However, as he moved, Gu Xi clearly noticed that within those tumors on the alchemist’s body, there were indeed quite a few elixirs.

This must be the method the other used for storing pills.

Before Gu Xi could speak, Li Yufang quickly said, "Bitter Alchemist, we’ve come to you this time to custom order some elixirs."

"Welcome, I can handle elixirs of any level here. What kind of elixir do you want? You look like a Ghost Immortal.

How about a Blood Crystal Pill? Once taken, you won’t need any blood food for a year?"

"I want the Grass Returning Pill?"

Gu Xi said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the Bitter Alchemist’s expression changed. He was about to slap the table and throw them out, but as he stood up, he suddenly thought of something.

"Grass Returning Pill, huh, that might be difficult."

Gu Xi turned and glanced at Li Yufang.

His gaze clearly showing, now it’s your turn.

Li Yufang understood that this was not something Gu Xi should handle by paying himself.

If everything relied on Gu Xi, then what was her role?

She was Gu Xi’s subordinate, not his mother; she couldn’t let Gu Xi handle everything.

Now she was leveraging Gu Xi’s influence to subdue others.

"Bitter Alchemist, what do you need, just say it, I’ll find whatever you need."

"It’s not a big deal. I don’t mind telling you, I lost to Alchemist Qing before, regarding the Grass Returning Pill, I can’t help you." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The alchemist winked at Gu Xi, clearly seeing that Gu Xi was the one in charge, and talking to him was useful.

"I don’t need your help growing the Grass Returning Pill, I only need the seeds and the planting method."

Gu Xi looked as if he already knew everything about the Grass Returning Pill.

Hearing this, the alchemist laughed, knowing Gu Xi was targeting Alchemist Qing.

This attitude was enough.

He once intended to refine Grass Returning Pills himself.

But since he couldn’t quite match others in strength, he abandoned the idea.

However, the seeds and planting method of the Grass Returning Pill he bought back then remained with him.

Over the years, he hadn’t found a way to get rid of them.

He even suspected that acquiring the seeds and alchemy method for the Grass Returning Pill might have been part of someone’s scheme against him.

After all, he spent a fortune acquiring them back then.

He even spent several centuries afterward repaying debts.

It was precisely because of this that his alchemy career couldn’t expand further.

Now that someone wanted to take over the Grass Returning Pill refining, he was naturally pleased.

Just when the alchemist was contemplating passing on the original costs to Gu Xi, Gu Xi spoke again, "Don’t think about raising the price, everyone knows what the Grass Returning Pill is all about.

You had a loss, don’t take it out on me.

At most, I’ll help you deal with Alchemist Qing, I imagine he’s taken quite a bit of your business lately."

"He can only refine Grass Returning Pills, what else can he make?"

The Bitter Alchemist said angrily.

But once he said this, even he didn’t believe it.

The alchemy business was something he handled himself, clearly getting stronger every year, yet business was getting worse.

If there weren’t any issues here, he’d toss his own head into the alchemy furnace.

Now Gu Xi provided him with this idea.

It somewhat piqued his interest.

"Are you saying I can spread the word about you getting the Grass Returning Pill?"

"Of course, you spread the word, I don’t care."

Gu Xi didn’t care at all about this.

Once he settled things, he was going to disappear.

All the hatred would be on Gu Xi. That Alchemist Qing cultivating Grass Returning Pills couldn’t possibly leave this world and trouble Gu Xi in the real world, could he?

Alchemist Qing didn’t seem to be the top of this world.

On reaching the real world, he could get wiped out in an instant.

As for Li Yufang, she only needed to guard the Grass Returning Pill, she never intended to refine pills for others, so even if attacked, with Li Yufang’s strength, there wasn’t much to worry about.

Upon hearing this from Gu Xi, the Bitter Alchemist’s eyes brightened, intending to humiliate Alchemist Qing, did they have a grudge?

It seemed he’d been in closed-door alchemy practice too long, missing out on outside news.

Thinking so, the Bitter Alchemist gestured to Gu Xi and the others, inviting them into his alchemy room.

Upon entering the alchemy room, Gu Xi felt more nauseated than entering the Chaotic Burial Hill.

Ahead was a mix of blood, mushrooms, and sewage.

Gu Xi thought only Bone-devouring Mud could endure here.

However, the Bitter Alchemist was accustomed to this environment, he rummaged through some bags and pulled out a few items to hand to Gu Xi.

"These are seeds, there were originally five, I used one, the remaining four are all here.

This is the formula, see for yourself."

Upon examining the items, Gu Xi found the four seeds all resembled shriveled human heads the size of a fist, appearing lifeless.

[Grass Returning Pill Seed (Blue): The most basic Grass Returning Pill seed. Can cultivate one fruit tree, taking ten years to grow, three years to flower, three years to fruit, three years to mature, producing one Grass Returning Pill.]

[Grass Returning Pill Formula (Blue): The formula for the Grass Returning Pill, documenting the process and requirements for planting, cultivating, and storing pills. With the right materials and seeds, the best Grass Returning Pills can be cultivated.]

Seeing the items were fine, Gu Xi turned and nodded to Li Yufang.

Li Yufang understood Gu Xi’s meaning and immediately took out some Yin Crystal Stones to hand to the Bitter Alchemist, saying, "I know this isn’t enough, I’ll go hunting tomorrow, will ten beasts suffice?"

Upon hearing this, the Bitter Alchemist also smiled.

"It’s enough, more than enough with ten, but will you really manage?"

The Bitter Alchemist had to ask.

For the Grass Returning Pill, he had suffered a big loss.

Before Li Yufang could speak, Gu Xi spoke ahead, "Of course, it’ll be fine. Rest assured, I’ve already had a conflict with Alchemist Qing, even if he doesn’t come for me, I’ll go for him."
