Chapter 300 Return to Gu Mansion
Chapter 300 Return to Gu Mansion
At this moment, Daoist Yunlong was in a dire state. His lifespan was already dwindling, and having just braved through another heavenly tribulation, his situation worsened.
If it weren't for Gu Lan's timely arrival, he might not have been able to withstand the next heavenly tribulation. Zhongren recognized the crisis at hand and promptly delivered the golden pill of Vitality.
Gu Lan accepted this hard-won elixir without hesitation and fed it to Daoist Yunlong. As he ingested the golden pill of Vitality, his pallid complexion instantly radiated with vitality.
A surge of immense life force flowed within him, prompting him to quickly mobilize his true qi to refine it, unwilling to waste such precious vitality.
After refining all the life force, Daoist Yunlong finally reopened his eyes, immediately gazing skyward. Recollecting the recent event, he still felt a surreal sensation.
Beneath the heavenly tribulation, everyone was like ants. As someone who faced the heavenly tribulation directly, Daoist Yunlong was acutely aware of its terrifying pressure.
Yet, how could such a fearsome heavenly tribulation be cleaved apart by Gu Lan's sword?
"Young one... How many surprises do you still hold that I am unaware of?"
Daoist Yunlong looked towards Gu Lan, more convinced than ever that sending Zhongren to her side years ago was the correct decision.
Upon seeing Daoist Yunlong awaken, Zhongren promptly approached to attend to him.
"Master, how do you feel?"
"The effect of the golden pill of Vitality is even more potent than rumored. My injuries are no longer a concern, and my cultivation, bound for years, has also broken through..."
Daoist Yunlong slowly rose, his aura suddenly soaring. His cultivation immediately advanced from the peak of the Imperial Stage to the early stages of the Saint Stage, and his realm was exceptionally stable, unlike a recent promotion.
"Congratulations, Daoist, on turning misfortune into fortune," Gu Lan smiled, offering her congratulations with a respectful gesture.
Daoist Yunlong reciprocated the gesture, accepting the remaining Golden Pill of Vitality from Zhongren.
"Young one, the golden pill of Vitality has produced two pills. I have already taken one, and I insist you take this remaining one," Daoist Yunlong said with seriousness.
Having broken through in cultivation, he was now more sensitive to celestial secrets.
Individuals like Gu Lan, with significant destinies, might allow favors to be owed to them, but debts owed to them must be repaid sooner or later.
And if you couldn't repay when the time came, it could be fatal. Seeing Daoist Yunlong's solemnity, Gu Lan understood the gravity of the situation and accepted the final Golden Pill of Vitality without objection.
While the elixir might not benefit her directly, it could prove useful for others in the future. Perhaps someone like Old Yang, after a hundred years, could extend their life for several decades with such an elixir.
Of course, it was just a metaphor; Gu Lan had no idea how many life-extending elixirs were prepared for Old Yang. It would be a waste to use such high-grade elixirs for trivial matters.
"Young one, now that my cultivation has broken through, there is no need for you to trouble yourself with caring for my apprentice any longer... I intend to keep Zhongren in seclusion at the Tianji Pavilion for some time, thoroughly passing on the heritage of the Tianji Pavilion to him. If you need any elixirs to be refined, feel free to send a message to the Tianji Pavilion at any time.
"The chessboard is like a battlefield; one cannot afford to be distracted while playing, for distraction leads to defeat."
"This is what Your Majesty taught me!" Liu Yexi moved a chess piece and smiled at Mu Yuyan. Mu Yuyan looked at the chessboard and realized she had indeed lost. She smiled, not overly concerned.
Her state of mind was quite different now compared to before. Perhaps it was related to the inheritance of the saintess's remnant soul in the Black Tower, or perhaps it was the influence of her husband and daughter, gradually softening the once sharp-edged empress.
"Dumb Dumb! Run!"
Simu and the puppet stood side by side at the starting line. The moment the word "run" was uttered, the puppet transformed into a gust of wind and dashed forward.
It moved with incredible speed, almost crashing into the courtyard wall, threatening to turn it into rubble.
Mu Yuyan raised her jade hand, with ethereal light flickering at her fingertips, preparing to intervene.
Bang! The puppet was sent flying backward. At the same time, a gentle force lifted it and gently placed it on the ground.
In the courtyard, Gu Xiaoqi's stunning figure appeared first, followed by the young Suan Ni cub, and finally, Gu Lan in her green robe.
It was Gu Lan who had intervened; she couldn't bear to watch the puppet damage the courtyard wall of Gu Mansion.
"Daddy!" Simu leaped into Gu Lan's arms, then looked at Gu Xiaoqi, cheerfully calling out, "Qiqi!"
"It's Sister Qiqi!" Gu Xiaoqi wrinkled her nose and corrected in time.
"Qiqi!" Simu still called out with his head tilted. Gu Xiaoqi could only sigh helplessly. Every time she encountered Simu, she felt like an adult.
It was a complex feeling; she had always wanted to grow up, but the love of her master made her reluctant to do so.
However, when faced with a little demon who was younger than herself and even more mischievous, she also felt a bit helpless and headache-inducing!
"Big Yellow?" At this moment, Simu suddenly pointed at the young Suan Ni cub and called out.
The young Suan Ni cub: "???"
Gu Xiaoqi: "..."
It's golden, not yellow, and definitely not called Big Yellow!
"Is this the bloodline of the King Suan Ni, so powerful!"
"Even though this little guy is not yet at full term, I'm afraid even ordinary King Stage cultivators might not be able to defeat it, right?"
Liu Yexi's gaze fell on the young Suan Ni cub, her mind shaken. Earlier, Gu Lan had already introduced the origin of the young Suan Ni cub through a unique communication artifact shared only with Mu Yuyan. But seeing the legendary ancient beast Suan Ni in person still left her greatly amazed! Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire
