Empress: My husband is too strong, I can only lie down and relax.

Chapter 146 Awakening Successful, the 3rd Prodigy Appears!

"Tai Chi Sect?!"

"What kind of lousy sect is this? I've never even heard of it!"

Cheng Mo's eyes fell on Gu Jiancheng, but he found that the white-robed, silver-haired cultivator in front of him was even more handsome and outstanding than him, and he was immediately annoyed.

"You may not have heard of it now, but you will have the chance in the future."

Gu Jiancheng took the arm and smiled faintly.

Although Cheng Mo's cultivation level has reached the Heavenly Observation Realm, his talent can only be described as average.

If one were within a grotto-heaven, such resources would certainly not be sufficient to advance to the Heavenly Observation Realm.

Although it may seem unfair, some people are born into the Holy Land, and even their breathing is stronger than theirs.

But they were just at a weaker starting point; Gu Jiancheng still wouldn't take these guys seriously!

"Arrogant and ignorant! In this Yun Chuan City, who dares to act presumptuously in front of the Black Wind Sect?"

"I bet you're just trying to seduce Lian'er, you pretty boy. She's too naive to be fooled!"

Cheng Mo angrily pointed at Gu Jiancheng and said coldly.

"Cheng Mo, shut up!"

Before Gu Jiancheng could speak, Xue Lian had already reached her limit and shouted, "I have been more than kind to you!"

"You're right, I was indeed stupid and easily fooled, and the thing I regret most in my life is being bewitched by you!"

"From now on, I never want to see you again. Get out!"

"Lian'er?" Cheng Mo frowned. He had never seen Xue Lian so cold and stern.

"Haven't you understood yet? Sister Lian told you to get lost!"

"The Azure Lotus Trading Company won't sell it. Just let the Black Wind Sect give up on that idea completely!" Huo Lingling said angrily.

"Hehe, good, good, good!"

"You two are really stupid!"

"Those who don't believe me but instead listen to this pretty boy, and that penniless swordsman!"

"Xue Lian, it seems your feelings for me have already changed. I have said all I need to say. You two are on your own now!"

Cheng Mo sneered, his face suddenly contorting into a ferocious expression, and turned to leave.

Only after he disappeared did Xue Lian sway and nearly collapse into Huo Lingling's arms, her face as pale as paper.

It's clear that Xue Lian had put in a lot of effort for Cheng Mo before.

"I've made a fool of myself in front of Young Master Gu." Xue Lian looked at Gu Jiancheng with a wry smile, "And you've been slandered by him for no reason."

"Hehe, it's alright, young lady, you don't need to worry about it."

“In that case, I’ll teach you how to refine this Azure Lotus Pill!” Gu Jiancheng said with a smile.

"Now? Right here?" Xue Lian frowned.

“That’s right!” Gu Jiancheng nodded.

"Very well, I still have a portion of the materials for refining the Azure Lotus Pill. Young master, please follow me!"

Xue Lian perked up and then led everyone to the back hall.

In the courtyard, there is a cauldron, which should be where Xue Lian studies alchemy.

Moreover, the ancient and black cauldron must have been left to her by her mother.

"Manager Xue, before I teach you how to refine the Azure Lotus Pill, I need to awaken the fire seed within you first." But at this moment, Gu Jiancheng suddenly laughed.

"A spark? I have one!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Lian raised her delicate hand, and a blue lotus flame rose up.

However, this fire seed is only of the Quasi-Dao level, and is not the Azure Lotus Sky Flame mentioned by the Divine Eye of Insight.

"No, this fire is not enough, and a special flame is needed to refine the Azure Lotus Pill!"

Gu Jiancheng shook his head and smiled, then raised his finger, and a golden flame ignited from his fingertip.

This flame, resembling the sun, is called the Radiant Golden Flame. Although its quality is only at the Quasi-Dao level, it is not the strongest flame that Gu Jiancheng can summon at present.

But according to the system, this fire seed is used to awaken the Azure Lotus Sky Flame!

"Don't panic."

Gu Jiancheng murmured, then placed his finger on Xue Lian's brow.

Huo Lingling was startled.

But Xue Lian didn't feel any intense heat or burning sensation.

Instead, he felt as if the flames were seeping into his brow, and a surge of heat swept through his entire body. Deep within his dantian, a seed even took root, sprouted, and then transformed into a lotus flower that burst forth from his dantian.

Huo Lingling and the others were even more surprised to discover that a blue lotus mark had appeared out of thin air on Xue Lian's brow.

"Manager Xue, you can now try to summon the fire."

Gu Jiancheng had already withdrawn his finger and smiled.

"okay!"

Xue Lian then came to her senses, and immediately raised her hand, activating her divine sense.

hum!

In an instant, a blue lotus rose from his palm!

The flames were extremely hot and looked extraordinary.

"This fire..."

Xue Lian was even more shocked, because the quality of this flame had reached the top level of the Dao rank, and even touched the Void rank!

It was far more powerful than her previous flames!

This is simply amazing. Putting aside the fact that Gu Jiancheng could teach her how to refine the Azure Lotus Pill, at least this opportunity for the seed of fire was given to her by Gu Jiancheng.

"Alright, now you can show me the pill formula."

Gu Jiancheng then smiled.

"it is good!"

At this moment, Xue Lian had no more doubts and quickly took out an ancient jade slip and handed it to Gu Jiancheng.

But the moment Gu Jiancheng received it, his expression changed slightly.

Although the jade slip was old and had obvious damage, its material was definitely not ordinary.

The origin of this jade slip is probably quite extraordinary!

Immediately, Gu Jiancheng's divine sense penetrated into it, only to find that the pill formula recorded therein was indeed incomplete.

But the Eye of Insight directly completes it.

Finally, Gu Jiancheng withdrew his divine sense and continued to study the surface of the jade slip. This time, he indeed found a clue.

The surface of this jade slip seems to have unique totems, perhaps some kind of magic array, or maybe a map?

"Shopkeeper Xue, did your mother tell you where this item came from?"

Gu Jiancheng suddenly asked.

"It seems they mentioned it, something like a place called the Fallen Abyss, but my mother said that place is extremely dangerous, and she never mentioned it again," Xue Lian said, frowning.

"Alright, I understand. Now that I've completed the recipe, I'll teach you how to refine it."

Gu Jiancheng had never heard of the Fallen Abyss, and he didn't have time to care about it now.

Xue Lian took the jade slip and found that the pill formula inside had become very complete, and many parts had been annotated, making all the parts that she had not understood before clear!

Immediately, Xue Lian was overjoyed and began to refine the ingredients.

Taking this opportunity, Gu Jiancheng also chatted with Huo Lingling.

Only then did they learn that Xue Lian's parents had died in an accident while doing business, and that it was highly likely that they were related to the Black Wind Sect.

It was around that time that Qinglian Trading Company's business was constantly squeezed out by Sunset Trading Company.

That trading company was managed by the Black Wind Sect.

The entire Yunchuan City is now under the jurisdiction of the Black Wind Sect.

Gu Jiancheng also received a map of the Holy Land from Huo Lingling.

However, after seeing this map, he finally understood why Li Piaomiao said that cities of Yun Chuan City's level were as numerous as hairs on a cow!

Because there are more than three thousand cities like Yun Chuan on the entire map of the Holy Land!

In other words, there are thousands of sects within the entire Holy Domain!

Now, Gu Jiancheng finally understood just how vast this so-called Holy Domain truly was.

No wonder it takes even a Saint Realm cultivator a month to get through this.

Moreover, Yunchuan City is located in a very special place, known as the Wilderness Domain, which is right at the intersection of the three holy lands.

There are a total of eighteen cities in this area. All three holy lands have infiltrated the region, but they do not send a large number of powerful people in, so as not to cause misunderstandings among the other holy lands.

This has resulted in the area becoming a chaotic and lawless place where all sorts of people mingle.

At this moment, Gu Jiancheng understood why his master had asked him to come here to establish a sect.

Firstly, there are ancient holy site ruins here; secondly, this is a no-man's-land, so it wouldn't be easy for the three major holy sites to find him.

Moreover, this wild and desolate area is extremely suitable for him to show off his skills, which is really great!

Xue Lian's talent in alchemy was indeed very strong. Gu Jiancheng only gave him a little guidance during the refining process, and he was able to master it.

Thus, just three hours later, Xue Lian successfully refined the Azure Lotus Pill.

At this moment, the Azure Lotus Pill was crystal clear, without any lotus shadow, and was exquisitely crafted.

"Congratulations, Sister Lian! You've finally succeeded in refining the Azure Lotus Pill!" Huo Lingling exclaimed.

"It's all thanks to Young Master Gu!" Xue Lian said with a shy smile.

Gu Jiancheng played with the Azure Lotus Pill. The quality of this pill had actually reached the top grade. With this kind of talent in alchemy, he could at least join a super sect, if not a holy land.

Moreover, it seems that this pill has other miraculous effects besides purifying the mind!

However, before Gu Jiancheng could speak, a voice suddenly rang out from the outer hall.

Is Boss Xue here?

Xue Lian and Huo Lingling exchanged a glance, and the latter raised an eyebrow and said, "That ice-faced swordsman is still coming to beg for pills?"

"Could this guy really have a crush on you, Lian-mei?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xue Lian blushed, glared at him, and went to the outer hall.

Gu Jiancheng and the others followed, and when they arrived at the outer hall, they saw a swordsman in hemp clothing standing there with his back straight, holding a thin sword wrapped in animal hide in his hand. Although he was not handsome, his face looked particularly cold.

But what shocked Gu Jiancheng was that, under the guidance of the Divine Eye of Insight, this sword cultivator's talent was also extraordinary.

Did he actually encounter three top-tier geniuses in just one day?

Could this Yunchuan be a gathering place for geniuses?!
