Yun Ze nodded and said, "This formation is relatively basic and easy to learn. I'll find some time to write down the detailed method for setting it up and give it to you."
As the saying goes, it's better to teach someone how to fish than to give them a fish. Instead of helping them set it up himself, it's more convenient to teach them directly.
Writing down the detailed formation would take at most ten minutes, and then he could just let them learn it themselves. As long as they weren't idiots, they could learn it by following the instructions.
"Thank you, Young Master," Di Tian and the others bowed in thanks, genuinely and excitedly grateful to Yun Ze from the bottom of their hearts.
Yun Ze waved his hand dismissively, stood up, and had Di Tian open a spatial passage to return to Mingdu.
After a hearty meal and a night's rest, the next day, around eleven in the morning, Yun Ze called the communicator of Gu Ming, the head of the research institute.
"Elder Gu, please come to the Dragon Phoenix Hall on Mingyue Street, southwest of the Sun Moon Royal Academy. I will give you the Hundred Year Longevity Pill I promised."
Yun Ze got straight to the point, without any unnecessary talk, directly mentioning what Gu Ming cared about most.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by some hurried sounds: "Give me twenty minutes."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and rushed out of the research lab. At this moment, his movements were completely unlike those of a frail old man over two hundred years old.
Twenty minutes later, Gu Ming and another old man arrived in front of the Dragon Phoenix Hall building.
At this time, Yun Ze, Gu Yue Na, and Di Tian were waiting on the first floor. As soon as the two arrived, they saw them.
"Hmm?" Gu Ming and the accompanying old man's eyes narrowed, and they both frowned.
Both of them stared at Di Tian with solemn expressions, their Soul Power automatically circulating within their bodies. This was a natural reaction when facing a strong enemy.
This person is so strong! This thought popped into both of their minds simultaneously, and their muscles automatically tensed up.
Gu Ming was a ninety-eighth level Super Douluo with Four-Word Battle Armor. For him to feel that someone was strong, their strength was self-evident.
The old man beside him also had extraordinary strength, with ninety-seventh level Soul Power and a Three-Word Battle Armor Master.
Di Tian's aura was like an abyss, like a prison, making them completely unable to see through him. He didn't emit the slightest Soul Power fluctuation, yet he made them feel like they had thorns in their backs, and their bodies felt very unnatural.
"Elder Gu, be careful," the accompanying old man said in a deep voice.
Gu Ming waved his hand and strode towards Yun Ze and the others. The accompanying old man hesitated for a moment before quickly following.
"Elder Gu," Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na greeted simply.
Gu Ming nodded, not even remembering to ask about the Longevity Pill. He looked at the tall, black-clothed Di Tian and couldn't help but ask, "Who is this?"
He was almost certain that the person in front of him was an ultimate powerhouse, and a very powerful kind of ultimate Douluo, possibly a quasi-god!
"I am from a hidden family, the Yun Family, and also the current Vice Hall Master of the Dragon Phoenix Hall. You can just call me Yun Tian," Di Tian introduced himself, and even extended his hand.
Gu Ming kept these words in mind, and at the same time extended his hand and shook hands with Di Tian, saying, "Head of the Federation Research Institute, Gu Ming."
"Xu Chuan, I am Elder Gu's student and the current Deputy Head of the Federation Research Institute," Xu Chuan introduced himself proactively.
Di Tian nodded slightly at him, acknowledging the greeting.
"Elder Gu, let's go inside and talk," Yun Ze said, leading Gu Ming and Xu Chuan into the building.
The first floor was a forging shop, divided into two parts. Over seventy percent of the area was used for forging, and the remaining thirty percent was a shop for finished metals.
There was a wall separating the two parts, with a metal door leading to the other side. The group stopped in the better-decorated shop area.
After entering, Di Tian closed the door and turned on all the lights, making the inside very bright.
Seeing Di Tian close the door, Xu Chuan immediately became nervous, moving closer to Gu Ming and becoming vigilant.
"Elder Gu, I won't invite you upstairs for a visit this time. Please bear with me and absorb the pill here," Yun Ze said with a light chuckle.
The transformed Emerald Swans were arranging the pills on the second floor, Bi Ji was refining pills on the third floor, and above that were the resting area and his studio. In comparison, the ground floor was the most suitable place for Gu Ming to absorb the pill.
"It's fine," Gu Ming didn't mind this. He looked at Yun Ze with burning eyes and couldn't help but urge, "That pill..."
Yun Ze smiled slightly, took out a small jade bottle from his Storage Ring, and handed it to Gu Ming.
"This contains the pill that extends life by a hundred years. After taking it, immediately refine its energy. With your cultivation, it should take about half an hour to fully absorb."
Gu Ming's withered hands trembled slightly as he carefully took the medicine bottle. He eagerly opened it, and the fragrance of the pill wafted out.
"Ah," Gu Ming let out a comfortable groan, his cheeks slightly raised, his hands spread open, greedily inhaling the fragrance of the pill. The feeling of comfort was indescribable.
Xu Chuan, who was behind him, also unconsciously closed his eyes and breathed deeply. The scent made him feel light all over.
When Gu Ming poured out the pill, his hands trembled uncontrollably. As the pill touched his palm, a strong desire to swallow it arose.
Without questioning whether the pill had any side effects, Gu Ming swallowed it without hesitation. The complete pill entered his abdomen.
Gu Ming sat down cross-legged and circulated his Soul Power to begin refining the pill in his abdomen.
Xu Lin had originally wanted to advise Gu Ming not to swallow it so quickly, but it was too late. He could only stay by his side and protect him.
Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na found stools and sat down. The former took out a book and began reading, while the latter rested her chin on her hand, her elbow on the counter, staring blankly at Yun Ze.
Di Tian stood leaning against the counter with his arms crossed, watching Gu Ming with interest. On the counter beside him, a soul tool video recorder was working.
As the medicinal power of the pill spread throughout his internal organs and limbs, Gu Ming's body began to undergo a miraculous transformation.
His skin, which was as dry as old tree bark, swelled up and slowly became full, regaining some of the moisture lost over the years.
Some hair grew on his head, and some white hair even turned black. His vitality was becoming vigorous.
Seeing this scene, Xu Chuan's eyes widened in surprise. Even though he had some psychological preparation beforehand, a storm still raged in his heart.
Gu Ming himself also felt the changes in his body and was uncontrollably excited. If he hadn't known that the medicinal properties hadn't fully dissolved and needed further refining, he would have really wanted to get up and jump around a bit. The feeling of his body regaining vitality was truly exhilarating.
The refining time was about what Yun Ze had estimated, nearly half an hour.
"This, is this really me?" Gu Ming held the mirror Yun Ze handed him and looked at himself carefully, pinching his face which was no longer withered. He felt a sense of unreality.
He now looked like a person in his fifties. Although he still had some signs of age, compared to before, it was completely like a different person.
His body was no longer hunched, his skin was no longer withered, the hair he had lost had grown back, and black hair accounted for the majority. His spirit and energy had all returned.
"Haha, hahaha," After looking for a few minutes, Gu Ming burst into laughter, feeling incredibly relieved. His eyes were slightly red.
The feeling of lost years returning was indescribable. He was now as happy as a child, dancing with joy and laughing non-stop.
"Congratulations, Teacher," Xu Chuan said with great joy.
