Chapter 67 Grand Tutor Su Hua, Concealing the Spirit Jade
"First, wipe off your drool," Gu Lan said, finding his appearance somewhat amusing. "Isn't your Tianji Pavilion supposed to calculate everything in the world? How come you don't remember this from the last Defensive Spirit Tools Ranking?"
Unknown grade.
Gu Lan initially thought it was a creation of the system, a treasure unknown to anyone in this world. However, judging by the reaction of his junior, it seemed that Tianji Pavilion should have some knowledge about it.
"On the Treasure Ranking, there won't be something like the merit golden robe, as it surpasses the existence of the Heaven Treasures!"
Zhongren exclaimed, explaining, "When my master forced me to read through all the ancient books in the scriptures library, I learned about this divine object! In addition to the twelve Heaven Treasures available in the current era, there are also ten ancient divine relics, considered the strongest artifacts in the world. Among them, one is the merit golden robe!"
"It is said that it originally belonged to the ancient emperor of the Western Region..."
"But those ancient divine relics have been absent for a long time, so gradually, our successive pavilion masters stopped including them in the statistics."
Hearing the origin of the merit golden robe, Gu Lan nodded. Looking at the patterns on the golden robe again, there indeed was a hint of Buddhist Sanskrit.
"Is there any record in the books about its purpose?"
"We, Daoism, and Buddhism have some conflicts, so I didn't remember the purpose too thoroughly..."
Zhongren scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed. "But what I remember is that it's a legendary imperial weapon, with attributes being extremely Yang and strong. It might also be beneficial for cultivating Buddhist secret techniques."
"Okay."
Gu Lan acknowledged the records in the Tianji Pavilion. Just by holding this golden robe, he could sense the aura it emitted, resonating with the drop of true dragon blood within him.
If worn during cultivation, the benefits for nurturing his Destiny were self-evident!
...
Inside the palace, Eastern Palace.
A plain and unadorned study, situated among the magnificent palaces, with red bricks and black tiles, stood out from the surrounding splendid structures.
However, this seemingly ordinary study made all the palace maids and eunuchs passing by lower their gaze, not daring to show any disrespectful expressions.
Because the owner of this study was the Grand Tutor for three generations and the most prestigious figure in the current dynasty, Grand Tutor Su Hua!
At this moment, a row of palace-dressed maids and eunuchs reached the path in front of the study, gently placing the dragon-chased jade.
Mu Yuyan, who had closed her eyes to rest, opened her phoenix eyes. When she looked at this seemingly plain study, her usually aloof gaze softened with a touch of tenderness and nostalgia.
"The little consort came by."
Mu Yuyan: "..."
She knew it was her. Yexi had undergone strict training in the Imperial Announcements Bureau, and her lips were sealed tightly.
However, Su Hua regarded the three of them as students, a teacher for a day and a father for a lifetime.
There was no harm in telling him, and Mu Yuyan would have to inform him sooner or later.
"He treats me very well."
When mentioning Gu Lan, Mu Yuyan became somewhat shy, resembling someone secretly in love and being caught by their parents. She dismantled the orange fibers piece by piece with her slender jade-like fingers, and a touch of blush appeared on her stunning face.
"Which sect does he belong to?"
Su Hua instinctively thought it might be related to the officialdom or cultivators.
"Neither. He... is an ordinary person."
Mu Yuyan shook her head.
"Like Teacher, he is a scholar. Currently, he is in the capital... But Teacher won't be able to see him in the short term because..."
"Because he doesn't know your identity yet?"
Su Hua's eyes lit up. Throughout the generations, the Grand Tutors were best at guessing the thoughts of the emperors who were their students.
Mu Yuyan paused for a moment, then nodded slowly.
Su Hua said, "Whether he is an ordinary scholar or not, it doesn't matter if you can't meet him for a while. As long as he sincerely treats you well..."
Seemingly remembering something suddenly, Su Hua took out two jade pendants from his bosom. The jade pendants were surrounded by a clear light, obviously not ordinary objects.
"Your Majesty, these are Concealing Spirit Jade that my teacher gave me when I was studying in Shu Province in my youth. They have the effect of calming the mind and are capable of changing appearances... Although they can't be used in combat, they are authentic Immortal Stage treasures!"
"Their disguise doesn't change the owner's appearance but adapts according to the owner's intentions, creating an illusion for those who see you. To people close to Your Majesty, your appearance remains the same, but to strangers, it's a completely different face... With all the nobles and officials in the capital, it might be useful for Your Majesty to wear it!"
After listening to these words, Mu Yuyan's beautiful eyes revealed a hint of astonishment. The ability to change appearance at will according to the wearer's wishes... She hadn't expected such a miraculous item to exist! And, as Su Hua mentioned, living in the capital now, she could indeed make use of it!
"Teacher has considered it thoroughly. I won't refuse, then."
Mu Yuyan accepted the cool Concealing Spirit Jade and nodded in gratitude.
