This Young Master Has Infinite Comprehension-Chapter 44: Nine-Yin Cold Flame

Su Yue turned to look at Sect Master Feng Qing. Seeing him injured and helpless, his body wrapped in a dense aura of death, her expression grew heavy.

She did not know whether Wang Gu could truly fulfill that hope, but if she refused his proposal, then Feng Qing’s death would be certain and unavoidable.

The other elders all turned toward Su Yue. Only she could make the decision now that Feng Qing was unable to do so.

Su Yue took a long breath and looked at Wang Gu. "Alright. We will help you. However, we do not have a cauldron of the highest quality to assist you in refining that pill."

Wang Gu nodded. He glanced at Feng Qing before focusing his gaze back on Su Yue. "The cauldron is not important. The most important thing in pill refinement is the alchemist’s ability."

"I will make several pills to increase Sect Master Feng Qing’s lifespan, at least by fifty years."

"That should allow him to endure while continuing his cultivation."

"Very well. We will provide everything you need, Fellow Daoist Wang Gu."

The man turned around and flew away from the front courtyard of Feng Ye Sect. Feng Qing returned to the sect master’s residence to begin recovering through cultivation.

Su Yue remained there, guarding Feng Qing’s condition to keep it stable. Not long after, Feng Qing slowly opened his eyes and looked toward Elder Su.

"He is a good person, Elder Su."

"That is true, Sect Master Feng Qing. You were truly fortunate to allow him to stay in our guest residence."

"Fulfill all his needs. If you have time, you may assist him as well," Feng Qing replied.

Elder Su cupped her hands and bowed. "Of course. I will help him to the best of my ability."

Elsewhere, Wang Gu arrived at the guest residence and immediately summoned the Red Lotus Cauldron he had obtained from the Gu clan estate.

However, he was still lacking a certain type of flame to complete his pill refinement. The first pill he intended to make was one that could extend a person’s lifespan.

It was the Orchid Petal Cold Pill, one of the spirit-tier pills he was capable of refining.

I will make the Orchid Petal Cold Pill since the materials are available here. However, I need the Nine Yin Cold Flame.

With that kind of flame, the pill refinement process will proceed smoothly and without issue.

His primordial soul was more than strong enough to ensure it would not be damaged, and his cultivation had already reached a level sufficient for refining high-grade pills.

As Wang Gu was deep in thought, considering what he should do, a gentle knock sounded on his door. He stepped forward and opened it. Elder Su had arrived without prior notice.

"Greetings, Elder Su."

"Do you need anything for your pill, Wang Gu?"

Wang Gu nodded. He brought out a token containing information about the herbs he required to refine the Orchid Petal Cold Pill.

Elder Su accepted the token and examined it carefully. Activating it, she read through its contents. All the materials listed within were available in Feng Ye Sect.

"We have all of these materials," Elder Su said.

"Do you have the Nine Yin Cold Flame?"

The woman was startled and stored the token into her bag of holding. Wang Gu’s question caught her off guard, but she did know of the Nine Yin Cold Flame.

Unfortunately, Feng Ye Sect’s resources were not as vast as those of the major sects that possessed various demonic flames. She explained that their sect did not have the Nine Yin Cold Flame.

Wang Gu had already expected as much, but he could not blame them. After all, Feng Ye Sect was considered a lower-tier sect. It was already fortunate that their sect master had reached the Golden Core stage and was on the verge of breaking through to Nascent Soul.

"I need the Nine Yin Cold Flame to refine the Orchid Petal Cold Pill."

"We will help you search for it," Elder Su said.

"Alright."

"I will also go meet someone. She can help me locate this flame," Wang Gu added.

"While I am away, prepare the materials so I can refine the pill immediately upon my return."

Elder Su nodded in understanding, cupping her hands in acknowledgment of Wang Gu’s request. Although she was an elder of the sect, Wang Gu’s status was now more important, as he carried their hope for Feng Qing to survive and live longer.

Wang Gu summoned his flying sword and departed from Feng Ye Sect. Elder Su turned around and instructed the other disciples to prepare the materials, while also sending people into the city to search for the Nine Yin Cold Flame.

Unlike them, Wang Gu sped away toward Hongsu City, not Gu Sheng City. The Gu clan estate might possess that flame, but his principles were at odds with them.

Besides, he had already stated that he would not return to the Gu clan estate anytime soon. To maintain his pride, he intended to keep that promise.

There was someone in Hongsu City who knew a great deal about flames and pill refinement. Her name was Wang Yunxi.

Her past as the head of the Yin-Yang Sect’s Pill Refinement Hall proved that she possessed extensive knowledge about the whereabouts of the Nine Yin Cold Flame.

Wang Gu arrived and landed in Hongsu City. After passing through the inspection gate, he quickly made his way through the streets toward the Wang clan residence.

The two gate guards recognized him immediately. Without asking any questions, they opened the gates and bowed respectfully.

The celebration of Wang Yunxi’s recovery had already ended. When Wang Gu arrived, his eyes immediately found her.

She was seated in a garden pavilion, admiring the flowers while sipping warm green tea. Wang Gu stepped forward to approach her.

He cupped his hands in greeting. "Greetings, Mother."

Wang Yunxi turned around, her face lighting up with joy. She immediately stood and walked toward Gu Qinghe.

The two met again after their previous parting. Wang Yunxi noticed Gu Qinghe’s different appearance, simpler and no longer bearing the distinct traits of the Gu clan.

"What brings you here, Qing’er?"

"I came to seek your guidance, Mother."

"What is it?"

Wang Gu began explaining his situation, from his accidental meeting with Xiao Wu to his promise to refine a pill for Sect Master Feng Qing.

Yunxi listened to everything, feeling moved. A significant change had occurred in her son. He was no longer an arrogant and selfish cultivator. He had become a source of hope for others.

"The pill I intend to make requires a special flame, Mother," Wang Gu said.

"What flame is that?"

"The Nine Yin Cold Flame," Wang Gu replied.

Wang Yunxi was startled. The Nine Yin Cold Flame was a demonic flame, but few people knew about it, let alone used it for pill refinement.

Not only was it known for its piercing cold, but it was also extremely difficult and aggressive to control, even more so than the Muyan Demonic Flame.

"What pill are you trying to make?"

"The Orchid Petal Cold Pill."

Wang Yunxi nodded and turned to glance at the flowers in the garden. "That pill can increase a cultivator’s lifespan, but it must be a woman because of the Yin attribute within it."

"I know that, Mother."

She turned back to look at Wang Gu. "I do not know where another Nine Yin Cold Flame can be found. However, I am certain the Yin-Yang Sect has one."

"The Yin-Yang Sect, huh?"

"That’s right. I remember there was one there in the past. I believe the head of the Pill Refinement Hall would know about it."

"That is all I know, Qing’er."

Wang Gu nodded. "It’s fine, Mother. That is already valuable information for me."
