Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes - Chapter 507 - 503: Not Just 1, but 3...
Yu Chou still didn’t grasp the seriousness of the situation.
He continued to advise his brother not to be upset, suggesting that even though there were some spots, at least it still resembled a Pill.
“Brother, time is pressing, let’s head to the main hall first.
I’ve already informed the disciples, and they’ll arrive soon.”
Before he could finish speaking, Yu You raised his hand to stop him.
“Don’t rush.”
Yu You stared at the Pill in front of him, seemingly unable to take his eyes off it.
The surface of the Pill was as smooth as before.
However, the white spots on the surface made this Pill completely different from before.
Another difference from before was the waves of medicinal fragrance emanating from the Pill.
The Pills he originally handed to Shen Han were four in total, but none of them had a noticeable scent.
However, this one had a distinctly noticeable medicinal fragrance.
“Are you sure this Pill was given to you by Shen Han?”
Yu You turned to look at his brother, his tone very serious.
“What is it… Is there a problem with this Pill?”
“After the Pill failed, I had an in-depth conversation with Master Sang.
He is also very aware of his problem, which is that during the Pill refinement, there is one ingredient that is always difficult to handle in terms of control over the heat.
He attempted it four times in a row, all resulting in failure…”
Yu You paused for a moment, then continued:
“At that time, Master Sang told me, if that ingredient is refined properly, white spots would appear on the Pill.
This is the explicit manifestation of that ingredient, the more even the white spots are, the higher the quality of the Pill.
Moreover, the medicinal fragrance within the Pill will also be released.”
Yu You’s words were extremely serious.
He already sensed that there was nothing wrong with this Pill!
According to the described properties of the Pill, this Pill in front of him completely matched.
At this moment, even as the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sword Sect, Yu You felt a hint of excitement.
Originally holding the Pill in one hand, he was now cradling it with both hands.
“Are you sure this really was given to you by that child Shen Han?”
Yu Chou also realized that the situation was quite serious.
Not daring to be negligent, he repeatedly nodded: “It was Shen Han who gave it to me, if it weren’t for him pleading for me to inform you.
I wouldn’t have bothered you…”
“So, you’re saying that child Shen Han could actually re-refine the failed Pill…”
Saying this, Yu You’s voice had a slight tremor.
The fact that a failed Pill could be re-refined—what kind of terrifying ability is that?
They say once water is spilled, you can’t gather it back.
But this act of re-refining is equivalent to gathering the spilled water back!
Seeing his brother’s eager expression, Yu You more and more understood the gravity of the situation.
“Brother, don’t worry, I’ll immediately find Shen Han to have him explain to you.
What’s really going on with this Pill.”
While speaking, Yu Chou had already taken out his Sound Transmission Magical Artifact, ready to have someone inform Shen Han.
But before he could speak, Yu You quickly shook his head.
“No need to trouble that child Shen Han to come over here, ask him to wait in the courtyard, we’ll go to him.”
Hearing this, Yu Chou couldn’t help but be stunned.
This shows that the Pill’s importance is even higher than he thought, to make his brother personally visit.
After all, Shen Han is just a young junior.
This kind of personal visit shows the great importance of this Pill.
At this moment, Shen Han had just received a notification to go to the main hall.
But halfway there, he was informed to wait in the courtyard instead.
Returning to his small courtyard, seeing the people standing at the gate, Shen Han was taken aback.
Yu Chou and the Celestial Sword Sect’s Sect Leader Yu You were currently waiting at the gate for him.
Seeing this, Shen Han immediately quickened his pace.
“Senior Yu You, Sect Leader…
Why are you waiting for me here and not going to the main hall?”
Upon hearing Shen Han speak, a faint smile immediately appeared on Yu You’s face.
“Do you not know why we came to find you? What is the deal with that Pill?”
Upon hearing this, Shen Han immediately asked, “Senior Yu You, is this Pill now fit for consumption?”
“Let’s go inside and talk.”
The three of them walked into the courtyard and entered the house.
After sitting down, Yu You gently took out the Pill.
Previously, Shen Han and Yu Chou treated this Pill carelessly.
Now, just thinking about it, Yu You felt a bit distressed.
“On the way here, I had another Sound Transmission exchange with Master Sang Cansheng.
Now, this Pill, if nothing unexpected, should be… complete.”
Yu You looked at Shen Han, leaving his words unspoken.
He was waiting for Shen Han to explain what exactly had been done with this Pill.
After all, re-refining an already completed Pill defies many people’s common sense.
However, Shen Han did not explain the reason.
The two of them, being seasoned individuals, understood social nuances.
They also understood that if Shen Han didn’t explain voluntarily, they wouldn’t ask proactively.
“I’ve prepared these materials for fifteen years in total.
Among them, two ingredients were obtained at the risk of life.
To be honest, this kindness you’ve shown me, young one, is something I fear I can never repay…”
Hearing this, Shen Han smiled and waved his hand.
“Senior, you’re exaggerating with your words. During these days, I’ve been protected by the Celestial Sword Sect several times.
You have also guided me more than once. These favors are enough as repayment.”
“The benefactor might say such things, but as for this old man, I cannot be so ignorant.
The importance of this Pill is beyond what you can imagine.
Especially at my stage, this Pill could very well be the stepping stone to a further advancement.
It’s not just me who seeks these Pills; other sects’ old monsters are also in pursuit of it.
Previously, they must have also failed in crafting it.
Therefore, when the Pill was not yet formed, I was not overly worried, as I had already set my expectations.
But I didn’t expect you, this child, to give me such a surprise.”
Yu You didn’t hold back his praise at all.
Even if he cannot step into the Golden Immortal Realm, with this Pill, he could at least advance another step forward.
For someone at his level, advancing even a step is extremely difficult.
If the Profound Immortal Realm were divided into ten layers, Yu You would be at least at the 8th or 9th Layer now.
He’s almost among the strongest in the Divine Land.
Another step forward, and he, Yu You, should be stronger than the top experts of the great sects.
“Go ahead, tell me if there’s anything you need this old man to do. Just speak up.
No need to mention requests for guidance; take this Sound Transmission Jade.
In the future, if you have any questions, you can come find me directly to discuss them.
Think of any other requests, just tell me directly. No matter how difficult, this old man will find a way to resolve it.”
Hearing Yu You’s words and sensing the atmosphere seemed a bit serious, Yu Chou by his side made a playful remark.
“If any request is possible, then Shen Han, ask to be the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sword Sect.
Let’s see if my brother is willing to give up the position~”
Hearing this, Yu You also smiled:
“If you give me another one of these Pills, I really would give up the sect leader position. If Shen Han is willing to take it, he can have it.
This old man would then take two Golden Profound Pills and go into closed-door cultivation.”
While speaking, Shen Han walked to the bedside and opened a drawer.
From inside, he took out two more Pills wrapped in oil paper.
With a smile on his face, he placed them in front of Yu You.
Seeing the oil paper, Yu You reacted as if experiencing a stimulus.
“Could it be… there are more Golden Profound Pills…?”
As the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sword Sect, a highly respected senior with extraordinary strength,
he should logically remain steady.
At this moment, Yu You appeared extremely tense.
When reaching out to touch the Pills, his hand trembled slightly.
Seeing this, Shen Han stepped forward and suddenly unwrapped the oil paper.
This action startled Yu You…
When he looked again, what was placed on the wooden table was none other than Golden Profound Pills.
Two, plus the one he currently had in his hand.
Three…
Golden Profound Pills, each one difficult to obtain.
He had prepared for fifteen years and ultimately not crafted a single Pill.
Yet, before his eyes…
Yu You no longer knew how to describe his feelings.
In his current position, he should have been able to keep calm in any situation.
But today, he found it hard to suppress his feelings.
Yu Chou beside him was also stunned for a while.
Even if not particularly knowledgeable about Pills, not knowing the preciousness of the Golden Profound Pill,
Yu Chou could tell from his brother’s reaction just how rare and valuable this Pill was.
As Yu Chou returned to his senses, a smile appeared on his face again.
“Brother, it seems you really have to relinquish your position as sect leader~”
This statement finally lifted the silent atmosphere.
Upon hearing this, Shen Han also smiled.
“If I take the sect leader position, I’m afraid internal strife in the sect would begin the next day…
Other external enemies would also come to provoke us.”
The two of them speaking such joking words lightened the atmosphere a bit.
But Yu You, looking at these Pills, did not blink.
After a while, the Celestial Sword Sect’s Sect Leader finally returned to his senses.
Gazing at Shen Han, his tone was solemn:
“In the future, if you have any matters, feel free to find me.
You have shown me such kindness, this old man might never repay it in full.
Of the three Pills here, I need at most two; the remaining one is for you to keep.
Right now, your cultivation realm isn’t enough, and your soul power is also lacking. Under no circumstances should you consume it hastily.
Wait until your strength grows, then take out the Pill.”
Saying this, he pushed one of the Pills towards Shen Han.
Apparently disliking the oil paper wrapping, after some thought, he had Yu Chou bring some exquisite Pill boxes.
Such precious Pills must be matched with these special boxes.
Putting the extra Golden Profound Pill into a box, he then handed it back to Shen Han.
Looking at the Pill in front of him, Shen Han didn’t have the heart to say he actually had one more…
But he had already learned from Senior Yu You.
This kind of Pill requires very high standards for its consumer.
For now, he hasn’t even stepped into the Immortal Realm, let alone qualified to use it.
