Chapter 87 Dan Cultivator

Elder Guan was observing Dugu Muyou's progress while judging her capacity inside his heart.

She kept on her job systematically without any hesitation and there was no strange smell coming from the alchemy stove which all suggested that everything went well.

As time passed, Elder Guan was fascinated by it. Every movement of Dugu Muyou was elegant and she could always grasp the perfect timing. It was like watching a musician performing.

Time flew by, Elder Guan suddenly realized that the fire in the stove was out and the room was filled with the fragrance of the pill. Dugu Muyou was taking out the pills from the stove and held a white jade plate in her hand. Right in the middle of the plate were three plump and golden-colored pills.

Elder Guan stood up immediately and stepped forward to take the jade plate in Dugu Muyou's hand.

"This is..."

Elder Guan picked up a pill and observed it. It was such a beautiful pill that it not only looked smooth and pure but also generated a seductive aroma that was comfortable to smell.

"It is indeed a Black Spirit Pill. Look at this color! It must be of the top quality!" Elder Guan said excitedly and stared at it with affection.

Dugu Muyou put the rest of the pills, which were all plump and golden-colored, in the jade plate.

Elder Guan counted carefully, "Eighteen! There are eighteen of them! I..."

"Please calm down." Dugu Muyou said. Elder Guan was, in Dugu Muyou's opinion, making a fuss. She was so indulged in dan refining that she didn't have the time and energy to compare with others. "Were eighteen pills a lot?"

Elder Guan was speechless and looked at Dugu Muyou, "When I cultivated some lower-level pills, these materials were never enough for me to make eighteen of them because there would be wastes."

Dugu Muyou silenced and took out two empty bottles to put the pills. She put eight of them in one bottle and ten in the other.

"These eight were the compensation for your material. Were they enough?"

"Yes, of course!" Elder Guan took over the bottle immediately but his attention was not on the pills, "Miss Muyou, please wait. I will go and take Root of Imperial Ganoderma for you."

Elder Guan was talking while walking into another room. Soon, he went out with a storage bag in his hand.

"I have had this Root of Imperial Ganoderma for some time but I just didn't have the opportunity to use it. I sometimes got confused during dan refining and would put the wrong material in the stove so I put it separately."

He was saying while taking out a little box. Exactly the one Dugu Muyou saw last time.

Elder Guan opened the box and looked at Root of Imperial Ganoderma with longing but he put it in Dugu Muyou's hand eventually.

Dugu Muyou was stunned, "You just give it to me like this? Aren't you afraid that I might cheat?"

Elder Guan laughed with indifference, "Miss Muyou is one of the Dugu Family. I don't think you will cheat me on this. For although this Root of Imperial Ganoderma is indeed very precious, it couldn't be more important than the reputation of the Dugu Family."

"The identity of the Dugu Family is quite convenient," Thought Dugu Muyou, while she was taking over the box that contained Root of Imperial Ganoderma. She then said, "Then I should thank you first. It's just that I need the last material, Ghost Weeping Orchid, to cultivate Pill of Remediation. All my men are looking for it desperately. If you have found it, please..."

"Ghost Weeping Orchid is the last material you need?"

Elder Guan was shocked and renewed his opinion towards Dugu Muyou.

Dugu Muyou thought he would be lost but Elder Guan was more surprised than lost. She did not know how to reply.

"It's fine! I can wait. Since Miss Muyou can find so many precious materials, I guess you could find Ghost Weeping Orchid too. Miss Muyou is surely a blessed person!"

Hearing his compliments, Dugu Muyou was cheerful inside, "Then I shall leave now."

"Sure, I will see you off. If I have heard of the information of Ghost Weeping Orchid, I will notify you immediately."

They were stepping downstairs while talking. The moment Dugu Muyou appeared at the landing, a dozen people were gazing at her. Dugu Muyou looked around the room and felt speechless.

Did these people take her as an endangered animal? They were there when she went upstairs and now that she had finished her affairs, they still didn't leave. How could they still be buying things? The shop was overcrowded with all those people.

Dugu Muyou could feel a hostile gaze so she looked around the room and found that it was from the young man in a coat, who was still there.

Seeing Elder Guan and Dugu Muyou walking downstairs, Yuan, the man who had received Dugu Muyou came up and said, "Miss Muyou must be a blessed person! After your arrival, there are more and more visitors here."

Dugu Muyou smiled as a reply.

The young man in coat sneered and walked in front of Elder Guan. He took out two green bottles and said loudly, "Elder Guan, I have admired you for a long time. Would you please allow me to be your student? I am a Level-Two dan cultivator and these pills are my work."

After the young man said all these, he gave Dugu Muyou a challenging look. Dugu Muyou felt him funny but she didn't say anything.

Before Elder Guan said anything, Mr. Yuan stepped up and stopped the young man with a sullen expression. He said with a deep voice, "This is a shop that sells materials, not a teaching school. If the Grand Elder wants to enroll new students, he will put out a post. If you are not here to purchase things, please leave."

Zhengnan Spiritual Material Shop was of course a shop that sold spiritual materials. But from time to time, they also sold some high-level pills that were cultivated by Elder Guan.

Elder Guan was so famous that many young cultivators who had a dream to become a master in dan refining wanted to be his student. But Elder Guan seldom enrolled new students. It was exactly because of this that sometimes there were people like this young man who came to the shop to have a try. This kind of behavior had caused a lot of trouble to the people working in the shop so Mr. Yuan was not happy about it.

The young man's attempt failed and was irritated by Mr. Yuan, "The Grand Elder did not say anything yet. How dare you to interrupt?"

Mr. Yuan was stunned. He had been working this shop for many years and no one dared to offend him. This nobody should dare to speak to him like this.

"The Grand Elder has something more important to do. Please leave." Mr. Yuan looked even more sullen.

The young man glanced at Mr. Yuan with indignation and then fixed his eyesight on Dugu Muyou, "You had the time to receive such a waste like Miss Muyou. But you didn't have just a few seconds to speak with me. I have heard that the Grand Elder was a humble gentleman. However, according to my observation, you are no more than a snob."

The young man's words irritated Elder Guan but he did not have the mood to argue. He called the security, "This man is making a scene here. Do your job and get him out. Muyou, I will see you off."

The guards were trying to hold the young man and escort him out of the shop.

But the young man was cunning. While he was struggling with the guards, he smashed the bottle in his hand and the guards stepped on it. So the pills were ruined.

"You have destroyed my pills! And now you wanted to beat me? How dare you!"

The scene between the young man and the guards had attracted much attention from the pedestrians.

It was right at this time that a man in a brocade skirt went in and laughed, "Your business is good today, I guess. There are so many people here!"

Mr. Yuan stepped up and greeted him, "Childe Zhu Jingshan. It is a great honor to meet you. What can I help you?"

Dugu Muyou heard the words of Mr. Yuan and gave a second glance at this "Childe Zhu Jingshan". "His family name is Zhu. Is he from the Zhu Family?" She thought in her mind.

"Welcome! Childe Zhu Jingshan. What do you want to buy today?"

Elder Guan stepped up and seemed very familiar with this Childe Zhu Jingshan.

Childe Zhu Jingshan was excited to see Elder Guan, "Great! Grand Elder, you are here. I want to buy some Golden Spirit Pill. I wonder if you have it."

Childe Zhu Jingshan gazed at the girl standing by Elder Guan while talking. He was immediately shocked by this pretty girl.

Hearing that he wanted Golden Spirit Pill, Dugu Muyou was sure about this Childe Zhu Jingshan's identity. Elder Guan must have known him and Dugu Muyou wanted to ask.

"Perfect timing! I don't have Golden Spirit Pill but I have this Black Spirit Pill which just came out of the stove."

"Black Spirit Pill?" Childe Zhu Jingshan was surprised and immediately smiled, "Congratulations! Congratulations! You have advanced! Why didn't you tell me this good news?"

Golden Spirit Pill and Black Spirit Pill sounded so similar but there was a big difference. The former could be refined by a Level-Six dan cultivator, the latter by a Level-Seven dan cultivator. The efficacy was also different.

Hearing that there was Black Spirit Pill in the shop, every buyer in the shop stopped what they were doing and observed Childe Zhu Jingshan and Elder Guan with a curious yet envious look. Even the young man and the guards who were confronting him were stunned.

Elder Guan was a little embarrassed and shook his head, "It was a shame that I did not advance and these Black Spirit Pills were not made by me."

"Then who else?"

Childe Zhu Jingshan was so shocked that there was a Level-Seven dan cultivator he did not know.

"It is the girl beside me who made them."

Childe Zhu Jingshan was stunned to the ground. He just thought she was an ordinary pretty girl. He would never guess that she was the Level-Seven dan cultivator.

The young man who was making a scene was shocked too. How could it be possible? He thought this Miss Muyou of the Dugu Family was merely a Level-One dan cultivator. Who would know she was a Level-Seven dan cultivator! Level-Seven! It was unbelievable because someone as good as Elder Guan was stuck in Level-Six for so many years.

"Young man, don't trouble us to escort you out. Please leave."

The guards were saying while pushing him outside. The young man was shocked that he even forgot to resist and was pushed out of the shop.

Childe Zhu Jingshan gazed at Dugu Muyou again and again. He could not believe it.

"Do I have the honor to know you?"

Elder Guan smoothed his mustache and said, "Childe Zhu Jingshan must have missed the trial of the Dugu Family. If you have been there, you would know that this is Miss Muyou, who won first place in the trial. Miss Muyou, This is the fourth childe of Zhu Family."

Dugu Muyou smiled, "I've read a lot about you."

The man introduced by Elder Guan must be from the Zhu Family.

Zhu Jingshan squinted his eyes and felt alarmed that the Dugu Family had a Level-Seven dan cultivator and the Zhu Family did not know about this. They were totally negligent.

"It's a pleasure to meet you here. Miss Muyou is such a talent that you really surprised me."

Dugu Muyou grasped the dangerous message in his eyes. It seemed that the relationship between the Dugu Family and the Zhu Family was not optimistic. The division was there and it would only get bigger and bigger.
