Chapter 15: The Shock of the Empress, What Secrets Does Su Changsheng Hold?
“Su Changsheng, you bastard!”
Gu Qingge broke free from his clutches and stepped back, vigorously wiping her face with a look of disgust. After enduring a month of tornt from Su Changsheng, her repertoire of insults had finally upgraded. She had progressed from simply calling him a villain to a bastard. It was truly a cause for celebration.
“Hehe!” Upon seeing her reaction, Su Changsheng smiled faintly. Such simple insults felt like a refreshing breeze, neither painful nor itchy.
Furthermore, after a month of getting along, his relationship with Gu Qingge had also beco sowhat closer. They were no longer strangers, but their interactions had upgraded to a state of disdain and annoyance. Although it was a negative state, it had deepened nevertheless.
The system, claim the grand gift package! Su Changsheng thought as he couldn’t address the system directly in front of Gu Qingge.
[Ding, grand gift package is being opened—].
[You have obtained a set of family palaces at the saint level. Once you take control, they can exert the power of a saint!].
[You have obtained a low-level protective formation for the family at the saint level.].
[You have obtained three thousand family dead soldiers at the Dharma-Image Realm!].
[You have obtained thirty family guardians at the Eternal Ancient Realm!].
[You have obtained low-level family pill resources, ranging from first to seventh grade, with five bottles each and ten pills per bottle!].
[You have obtained a town-suppressing saint soldier…].
Quickly, one system prompt after another sounded, including various cultivation resources that moved Su Changsheng.
So many? With three thousand dead soldiers at the Dharma-Image Realm and thirty guardians at the Eternal Ancient Realm, this power is simply luxurious. It instantly makes up for the lack of high-level experts in the Su family. In addition to various cultivation resources and the resources from the Gu family, the Su family’s influence has expanded several tis over. It could be said that this is the standard equipnt for top-tier power. Su Changsheng thought.
“This is… the Calamity-Annihilating Pill?” Su Changsheng murmured, and his gaze condensed as he took out a bottle of pill from the system space and opened the Jade Purification Bottle, emitting a rich dicinal fragrance. Faintly visible within it were flickering fragnts of the Great Dao.
“The Calamity-Annihilating Pill?!” Gu Qingge beside him was also surprised. This kind of pill was precious, and she didn’t expect Su Changsheng to possess a bottle.
“Humph, just a Calamity-Annihilating Pill. It’s nothing special.” Gu Qingge snorted inwardly, looking at Su Changsheng with a disdainful expression. He was a saint from a small place, making such a big fuss over a bottle of Calamity-Annihilating Pill.
“Fifty pills, it should be enough!” Su Changsheng muttered, then his gaze shifted and fell upon another type of pill, stirring his heart.
Seventh-grade pill, Enlightennt Pill! Compared to the Calamity-Annihilating Pill, this was his true precious treasure. This kind of pill was a true divine item that could truly assist in cultivation and had an extrely powerful effect.
“Enlightennt Pill!” When Su Changsheng opened the Enlightennt Pill, a strong dicinal fragrance rushed out, containing astonishing Dao rhythms, instantly causing a drastic change in Gu Qingge’s expression.
She was astonished. Although the Enlightennt Pill was only a seventh-grade pill, its value was comparable to a top eighth-grade pill. In a sense, it was even superior to most ninth-grade pills. It could allow cultivators to enter a state of enlightennt quickly and greatly enhance their comprehension. Although it was a seventh-grade pill, its effect had so impact even on Imperial Capital cultivators. This bottle of Enlightennt Pill was worth more than a Grand Saint-level weapon.
First, there was the Calamity Pill, and now the Enlightennt Pill. How could an ordinary mber of the Su family possess such heaven-defying pills? Could it be that he robbed a ninth-grade Pill Saint? No, that was impossible. A ninth-grade Pill Saint would be at least a Grand Saint-level powerhouse who could easily kill Su Changsheng with a flick of their finger. It was impossible for Su Changsheng to have snatched it.
Gu Qingge’s expression was complex. For the first ti, she couldn’t see through Su Changsheng. Previously, she considered him a despicable person, but today, he gave her a mysterious and unfathomable feeling.
“Hehe…” While examining the resources, Su Changsheng sensed Gu Qingge’s change in emotions and laughed inwardly. Although he remained composed, there was a secret satisfaction in his heart.
He took out the Calamity Pill and Enlightennt Pill in front of Gu Qingge to intimidate her and create a sense of mystery. He wanted her to know that not only was she the Empress reborn, but Su Changsheng himself had his own secrets.
“Hiss…” Next, Su Changsheng showcased the resources in the gift package one by one. In addition to the pills, there were cultivation resources such as rare spiritual herbs, so of which were of low grade but already extinct and even unobtainable by quasi-emperors.
This greatly shocked Gu Qingge. She was certain that Su Changsheng must have deep secrets, and the change in the future was likely not solely due to her rebirth but because of Su Changsheng himself. Furthermore, it seed the other party also knew much about her. Curiosity about Su Changsheng’s identity and background arose in Gu Qingge’s heart for the first ti.
…
In Tianyuan City, elders were gathered in the Su Family’s main hall.
Due to recently gaining control over the Gu Family’s territory and not yet becoming part of the top-tier forces, the Su Family’s headquarters temporarily remained in Tianyuan City and had not been relocated. However, a new city had already been chosen, which was Wanxiang City, located on the edge of the Northern Wilderness. That place was close to the borders of many powerful forces and was a very special city with a diverse population, including many top-tier experts. The Su Family planned to use Wanxiang City as a starting point to expand its territory towards the True Saint Continent.
“Everyone, the conflicts involving the Su Family have been mostly resolved, and it’s ti to discuss rewards and rits!” Inside the grand hall, Su Changsheng gathered the elders of the Su Family and calmly announced,
Su Changsheng called upon all the elders of the Su Family. Gu Qingge, with a composed expression, sat beside him.
The Clan Chief, Su Yun, and a group of Supre Elders all had curious expressions as they sat below, looking at Gu Qingge with surprise. They couldn’t understand why soone from the Gu Family like her would be so close to the esteed Su Changsheng.
However, their curiosity persisted until Su Changsheng finished speaking, and then all the elders’ attention shifted. Their eyes glead with excitent.
Especially a group of elders who still rembered Su Changsheng’s promise, which they eagerly anticipated.
“I previously stated that those who kill enemies shall be rewarded tenfold, and now I will fulfill that promise!”
Su Changsheng continued speaking.
“Su Qing, you have slain three Ancient Realm powerhouses. Now I bestow upon you ten Calamity Pills…”
Soon, Su Changsheng snapped his fingers, and a jade bottle fell into Su Qing’s hand.
“Originally, it should have been thirty pills, but Calamity Pills have their limits, and ten pills are the maximum. Any more than that would require double the quantity for an improvent. I have exchanged the rest for an equivalent amount of resources for you. You can collect them at the Hall of rits.” Su Changsheng explained as he looked at the satisfied Su Qing.
“Yes, Brother Changsheng!” Su Qing responded with joy on her face.
Those ten Calamity Pills were equivalent to thirty pills’ worth of resources. That would easily allow her to advance to the Half-Saint realm or even attempt to break through to the Saint realm. Of course, having the resources was one thing, and whether she could succeed or not was another matter entirely.
“Hiss! These are indeed Calamity Pills!”
“Truly worthy of Venerable Changsheng, his words hold value!”
“I envy Elder Su Qing so much!”
A group of elders, including Su Yun, saw this scene, and their eyes turned red with envy.
Su Changsheng distributed rewards to each elder, and they were all filled with excitent.
“Not only the elders, but all the clan mbers who participated in the battle will receive rewards ten tis greater.”
“At the sa ti, I decree a new clan order. The cultivation resources of all clan mbers will be increased tenfold. I have only one requirent, strive to improve your strength!”
“However, to prevent clan mbers from becoming idle, each mber must complete corresponding clan tasks or eliminate enemies or beasts at regular intervals to hone their skills!”
“This includes all of you elders as well!”
“In addition, we encourage the birth of more children within the clan. There will be rewards for having children. The more, the better!”
“…”
Su Changsheng continued speaking consecutively, causing the elders to beco even more excited, their faces filled with enthusiasm.
Ten tis the cultivation resources? How could the Su Family not thrive with this?
As for clan tasks, they didn’t mind at all. It was sothing that should be done anyway.
To beco stronger, one must make sacrifices and contribute to the family. Otherwise, where would such good things co from?
“Wise Venerable!” Su Yun was the first to exclaim loudly.
Although he, as the Clan Chief, had no authority or prestige in front of Su Changsheng, and his power was pitifully small, he had no complaints. In his view, it was enough as long as the clan could beco stronger.
“Yes, that’s right. I have sothing else to announce. I am going to take a wife.”
“And that wife will be her!”
“Gu Qingge!”
At this mont, Su Changsheng turned to Gu Qingge, sitting silently with a cold face, and announced.
“What?!”
In an instant, the entire grand hall erupted in shock and excitent.
