Chapter 519: Endless Void
"An invitation from the Gu Clan?"
Sitting in a grand and majestic study room within the Heavenly Court's headquarters in Holy Pill City, Xiao Ming held a black jade card in his hand, decorated with intricate and enigmatic patterns, giving it an aura of mystery.
"Yes, indeed. The envoy is from the Gu Clan, and the item in your hand is the invitation. Only by possessing it will you be able to enter the Gu Realm. However, I'm not sure why the Gu Clan would invite you to visit them. Normally, the Gu Clan only invites influential forces from the Central Plains to their coming-of-age ceremony once every twenty years. In recent tis, there hasn't been any significant interaction between our Heavenly Court and the Gu Clan."
Sitting across from him, Xuan Kong Zi pondered the recent events of the Heavenly Court with a puzzled expression on his face.
Xiao Ming raised an eyebrow as he examined the black jade card with only a few characters written on it. His thoughts, however, were as clear as a mirror.
The Gu Clan probably had so suspicions about the Hun Clan.
As it had been ntioned before, only the Hun and the Gu Clan had the strength to silently wipe out the Spirit Clan.
The Gu Clan knew better than anyone whether they had done it or not.
So it was natural for them to suspect, if not be certain, that the Hun Clan was behind the Spirit Clan's annihilation.
But currently, the Gu Clan hadn't publicly stated that it was the work of the Hun Clan. One reason for this might be that the Gu Clan itself was under suspicion, but another reason might be that they were still blinded by their reputation as the so-called most powerful Ancient Clan.
Unbeknownst to them, the Hun Clan could easily take on two Gu Clans...
'However, it seems that the Gu Clan is not unprepared. At least they've contacted .'
As he pondered this, Xuan Kong Zi decided not to dwell on why the Gu Clan had invited Xiao Ming and instead asked, "Are you planning to go to the Gu Realm?"
"That... let's talk about that later," Xiao Ming replied with a shake of his head. He did have the desire to visit the Heavenly Tomb to et his ancestor, Xiao Xuan, and possibly retrieve and learn so of the Xiao Clan's Tian Dou Techniques.
However, there might be so old-fashioned elders within the Gu Clan who would arrogantly rely on their clan's power, and the presence of traitors within the clan could further complicate matters and make the situation unpleasant.
Therefore, before visiting the Gu Clan, it seed more prudent for him to strengthen himself. After all, the invitation from the Gu Clan didn't ntion a specific ti, did it?
However, improving his strength...
After a mont of thought, Xiao Ming turned to Xuan Kong Zi and asked, "Have the dicinal herbs I need been collected?"
"In the past six months, I've searched all over the Central Plains and managed to collect materials for ten sets of Xuan Pills and three sets of Golden Pills. As for more, I'll need more ti to find them."
"A total of thirteen sets of ingredients? That should be enough. Have soone deliver them later."
For Xiao Ming, aside from Heavenly Treasures, the quickest way to increase his strength was to use dicinal pills.
Ninth-Tier Treasure Pills didn't do much to improve Xiao Ming's strength. It was only the Ninth-Tier Xuan Pills and the Ninth-Tier Golden Pills above that could improve it.
However, these high-tier pills tended to cause resistance when taken in large quantities. Therefore, with these thirteen sets of ingredients, he had more than enough for his needs.
It was sowhat surprising that the Heavenly Court had managed to collect so many high-grade dicinal herbs in such a short ti. Perhaps it was because alchemists above the level of Treasure Pill Grandmaster were too rare in the Central Plains.
"Alright, I'll deliver it to you personally in a while."
In reality, according to the strict rules of the Heavenly Court, it was forbidden to gather dicinal herbs using the influence of the Heavenly Court. However, Xuan Kong Zi didn't seem to mind at all.
Xiao Ming's contributions to the Heavenly Court were obvious to all. If his achievents were converted into contribution points in the Contribution Hall of the Heavenly Court, there would be countless zeros after the number. Getting a few dicinal herbs was just a small matter.
The leader of the Heavenly Court wasn't even qualified for that?
Besides, Xiao Ming couldn't possibly use all the pills he had refined himself. The surplus would be placed in the Contribution Hall for the benefit of the Heavenly Court. Therefore, the entire Heavenly Court felt that Xiao Ming, their "Big Boss
