“I won’t let you down, Senior. I will live up to your expectations of me.” Ah Man’s expression grew serious.
She was fully aware of the value of these precious ingredients. Just a single one of them would stir up a storm. She dared not act carelessly.
Gu Changge did not waste any time. With a wave of his hand, the entire courtyard was bathed in a faint layer of sunlight. Then, a bang rang out and a ring of golden flames appeared beneath the bronze cauldron.
Ah Man stared in shock. She was well-versed in medicinal knowledge, though she had never come into contact with items of this distinction before.
Nevertheless, she could see that Gu Changge had simply tossed everything into the cauldron. He did not bother to pair them in the most complementary ways to bring out the most benefits.
He seemed to be boiling them together with no rhyme or reason.
Ah Man’s heart ached a little. All these precious ingredients had been tossed at random into a giant cauldron. Then, the concoction began to bubble and emit light.
It was her first time seeing such wasteful extravagance.
Soon, the divine ingredients mingled together to form a dazzling array of divine light. Smoke billowed with startling divinity as a cauldron of unparalleled elixir was made.
All kinds of strange illusions appeared in the void. There were palaces, towering buildings, and ancient beasts roaring. Divine Chains wove together to form a large net.
In Ah Man’s eyes, even a single drop of this Superior Blood Essence could be considered a priceless divine elixir that contained endless mysteries.
Meanwhile, Gu Changge’s expression barely flickered.
He did not waste much of his time and effort on this. Considering Ah Man’s present cultivation level, she could not absorb everything. The Superior Blood Essence was simply going to refine her foundation.
Soon, Ah Man took off her outer robe right in front of Gu Changge and, dressed in only an inner garment, stepped into the cauldron with a look of determination.
She ignored the boiling heat of the Superior Blood Essence and sat inside the cauldron.
The bubbling Superior Blood Essence emitted a dense mist that covered her entirely, leaving only her head visible. She had turned bright red from the intense heat.
She knew that the effects were most potent at this point in time, so she did not want to miss this opportunity.
The cauldron of Superior Blood Essence would not only aid her in forming her foundation, but it would also refine her Soul and strengthen its power.
The moment Ah Man sat down, she could feel her skin throbbing as if it had been ripped apart. It felt as if burning hot needles had been stabbed into every single pore. She nearly fainted from the pain.
Thankfully, she had unwavering determination and was able to endure the pain, all the while gritting her teeth.
She used the Nameless Technique that Gu Changge gave her to start absorbing the essence of the concoction.
Gu Changge had sourced these divine ingredients specifically for her. She did not want to waste his kindness, nor did she want to disappoint him. Moreover, this was an unimaginable opportunity for her.
Even the most outstanding young prodigies in the Primeval Deity Sect did not have the luxury of an entire cauldron of priceless Superior Blood Essence. Even a single drop would have made them euphoric.
Ah Man was absolutely determined. Her flawless face was covered in sweat. She was as red as a boiled lobster.
As Gu Changge watched her, he could not help but shake his head. He did not know what to say.
He did not plan on getting Ah Man to sit inside the cauldron now. The Eternal Divine Flames he used to make the Superior Blood Essence were no ordinary fire. It created an impossibly high temperature.
And yet, she exhibited a great deal of initiative. She did not mind the effect it had on her body. She was not worried about enduring the intense heat.
Nevertheless, Gu Changge approved of her strength and determination.
*Rumble!*
A shocking scene unfolded as lightning struck, runes disappeared, and heavenly mist rushed towards the sky. Everything became chaotic.
Ah Man’s body and foundation were forged with the help of the cauldron of Superior Blood Essence. All manner of divine light shone as her fair skin underwent a startling change. As she absorbed the Superior Blood Essence, her body started gaining vitality.
For her, this was a wondrous blessing. She tried to take in everything she could as she did not want to waste a single bit of it.
Gu Changge shrouded the sky above the courtyard to avoid letting any of this extraordinary sight be seen.
This lasted an entire day and night.
During the evening of the second day, Ah Man looked at the Superior Blood Essence which had turned clear and exhaled deeply. Now that she had absorbed everything, she stood up from the cauldron. Her eyes were shining gloriously like two beams of divine lightning.
She looked even more flawless now. Her skin was fair and soft, her features were exquisitely sculpted, and her figure was even more tall and slender. She looked like a statue made out of celestial jade.
“Just by building up my foundation, my cultivation has reached the fifth level, and my fountain is even more solid than ever. I can’t believe it. What’s more, I haven’t completely refined the medicinal effects I have absorbed…” Ah Man had a look of pure joy on her face. She was filled with formidable strength that churned like stormy waves.
She had a feeling that she did not even need to be afraid of Human sixth-level experts.
“Senior…” With one thought in mind, Ah Man could not resist looking at Gu Changge with a pair of eyes that shone with hope.
However, Gu Changge did not say anything. He simply shook his head and tossed her a white outer robe.
At last, Ah Man sensed something strange about her state. By the time she realised what was happening, she turned scarlet and quickly withdrew into the cauldron. She was mortified.
While she was absorbing the Superior Blood Essence, the inner garment she wore had been reduced to ashes, which meant that she was now stark naked.
That was why she dropped back down into the cauldron and even tried to keep her head down. She was utterly embarrassed.
Meanwhile, Gu Changge vanished after giving her the white outer robe. He did not stick around, nor did he say anything. It was as if he had not noticed anything.
“Senior… He must have seen me… How embarrassing…” Ah Man could feel her cheeks burning. It was even hotter than when she had been sitting inside the cauldron to absorb the Superior Blood Essence.
The thought of the way she had jumped up in excitement made her wish she could completely hide herself inside the cauldron.
It took her quite some time before she regained some of her composure and put on the white outer robe Gu Changge tossed towards her.
“This robe must belong to Senior…” Ah Man stared at the soft outer robe made of a material she did not recognise. It felt a little warm to the touch and it had a lovely scent, which smelled like clear spring water.
She was a little dazed. Lost in thought, her cheeks turned pink. Then, she frantically shook her head as if to chase away those thoughts in her mind.
“An extraordinary and transcendent Immortal like Senior would not have such Mortal desires. What was I thinking?” Ah Man shook her head as she chided herself.
Compared to others her age, she was unusually tall and had remarkably long and slender legs. In terms of appearance, she was one of the most outstanding in the entire Primeval Deity Sect.
However, Gu Changge’s gaze barely changed when he looked at her.
Even in her earlier state, he merely looked at her as if she were nothing more than a pebble or a blade of grass.

I don’t think it’s correct to say he has no Mortal Desires, but rather he uses Mortal Desires in order to better facilitate his relationships. Mayhaps, depending on whom it is, he strategically initiates romantic relationships for those beneficial to him (Typically only Fortuitous Ones, or rather the Fortuitous Ladies?). Though, this could be perceived as the same as not having true Mortal Desires.
Gu Changge unconsciously rizzes every woman he sees.
