Chapter Ch219 - Abnormal Condition
Because of Gongyi Tianheng’s tact, this trip had been quite rewarding for Qingyun Sect. Not only was there a disciple with a special constitution, there were also rare pill prescriptions. Compared to the other organizations who instead ca back empty-handed and had lost many people, they had truly done far better.
Tianheng, Gu Zuo, and the others were very satisfied with their harvest. During the journey back, Tianheng had displayed those smooth and slick communication skills of his, and had left a good impression on the many people of the Sect Master’s bloodline. While it couldn’t be said that he was able to completely make friends with them, nor was he regarded importantly by them, so long as he left this impression, he could certainly have endless benefits at the right ti in the future.
The journey went smoothly — Or rather, under the urgent prompting of Elder Zhong and the Sect Master’s trusted aides to hasten the flying ship, the other forces didn’t have enough ti to react in any way. They had already flown extrely far. Even if the people behind wanted to chase after them, it was absolutely impossible to do so.
In just a few days, they reached Qingyun Sect.
Gu Zuo returned to that small valley. anwhile, Tianheng followed Elder Zhong into the depths of the Sect’s core area to pay a formal visit to the Sect Master. In Qingyun Sect, the Sect Master was the powerhouse whose strength was the highest. One would always see the dragon’s head, but never its tail. Even Core Disciples and True Apprentices didn’t have the rights to see him. This ti around, if it wasn’t for the great importance placed upon the inheritance, that Tianheng was involved in the matter, and that it was needed for him to explain the state of affairs again, it would’ve been impossible for Tianheng to see the Sect Master as well.
But no matter what, the worth of a disciple who t the Sect Master was always distinctive.
What could be concealed from Elder Zhong wouldn’t necessarily be concealed from the Sect Master. With regards to the matter of his dear big brother seeing the Sect Master, it wasn’t that Gu Zuo wasn’t worried, but there was nothing he could do about it. Gu Zuo could only place his trust in Tianheng.
On the aspect of luck, the Tiandu Body should’ve been very good.
Gu Zuo shook his head, and restrained his unease.
The Ling Clan siblings had likewise gone their separate ways. Ling Ziwei wouldn’t be coming back, but he couldn’t be sure about Ling Ziqi. But with Ling Ziwei present, his affairs probably wouldn’t turn out too bad.
Gu Zuo instructed the Tianlong Guards to handle any affairs, and placated the worried Tianyang. Then, he took out those newly-obtained item books, and started to slowly flip through them.
Although he didn’t have the ability to refine Golden-Level dicinal pills right now, he could gain an understanding at an earlier ti or even give it an occasional try... At the very least, he would know what was going on when he encountered such a situation in the future.
Gu Zuo gradually beca fascinated as he kept reading.
The refining thods of Golden-Level dicinal pills, dicinal cuisines, and dicinal decoctions were more than twice as mysterious as that of Human-Level dicine. The degree of complexity of those prescriptions were far beyond comparison.
Gu Zuo read through it all. Just when he went to check his inventory of the dicinal ingredients he purchased once more, Tianheng returned. His expression didn’t contain the slightest trace of reluctance, and his complexion was very tranquil. Sure enough, it seed that the results weren’t bad at all.
Gu Zuo promptly put down his book, and stood up to welco Tianheng back: “Big brother, are you alright?” He paused before asking, “The Sect Master, what does he look like?”
Tianheng laughed in spite of himself: “The Sect Master was magnanimous. After a bit of questioning, that was it. As for the Sect Master’s appearance, I actually don’t rember it too well. I only vaguely feel that he was a man with an overbearing presence. He had a soaring charisma and a type of awe-inspiring spirit, which one can’t help but admire.”
Gu Zuo couldn’t help smiling, too: “Whatever big brother says.”
At this mont, Tianyang, who was off to the side practicing martial arts, walked over a little hesitantly: “Big brother, Young Lady Ling, she...”
Tianheng looked at his biological younger brother. He nodded his head and said: “Young Lady Ling’s constitution is special. Naturally, she is greatly valued. Right now, she has been received as the disciple of the head apprentice under the Sect Master. That head apprentice is an Elder with true authority, who is also a half-step Atomic Realm martial artist. With the new pill prescriptions in hand, it’d only take a hard push and perhaps he’ll beco the next Atomic Realm powerhouse. At this mont, Young Lady Ling is a True Apprentice with a number of senior sect brothers and sisters. Her status is extraordinary.”
Tianyang heard this, and his face had an expression that had a hint of relief, but also a hint of disappointnt.
Tianheng raised an eyebrow: “Tianyang, are you sure of your feelings for Young Lady Ling?”
Tianyang’s face reddened slightly in silent acknowledgnt.
Tianheng said: “Since it’s like this, you should redouble your efforts from this day forth. If not, Young Lady Ling’s strength will make rapid progress while it’ll be impossible for you to catch up to her.”
Tianyang’s originally blushing complexion paled at this mont, but the expression in his eyes was resolute.
Tianheng was slightly satisfied: “That set of jewelry is suitable for the Moon Siren Body. I was going to give it to you to act as a betrothal gift, but now I’m afraid it can only act as an item to curry favor. If you really want to get together with Young Lady Ling, you’ll have to use absolute strength to force others to hold their tongues.”
Tianyang had already swept aside that previous hint of disappointnt. He spoke firmly: “Yes, big brother.”
Once the two brothers finished speaking, Gu Zuo interjected: “Tianyang, if there are any dicinal pills you need, just say the word. At that ti, big brother can gather the dicinal ingredients for you and I’ll refine them. In this aspect, you’ll never fall behind those so-called genius disciples.”
Tianyang’s heart ward, and he said: “Many thanks, Brother Ah Zuo.”
Gu Zuo withdrew and turned to face Tianheng’s gentle gaze. He didn’t know why his face reddened, but these peculiarities quickly dispersed.
Perhaps, within his subconscious mind, so things couldn’t be recalled nor understood.
Gu Zuo had just co back from Xu Lingxiu’s place — Because Gongyi Tianheng’s small hill was still under construction, they still couldn’t move for the ti being.
He had returned to the Sect two days ago. After this news had been made known to Xu Lingxiu, Gu Zuo was called over by soone. And the purpose of the one who called him over also wasn’t outside of Gu Zuo’s expectations. It was to bring him to see an Elder with true authority who had deep connections to Xu Lingxiu — This was also an Elder who had a high standing in the Pharmacist Hall.
That Elder wanted to see Gu Zuo. Naturally it was for the sake of the Spirit Devouring Pill’s pill prescription.
Danyun City had long obtained this pill prescription. They should’ve researched it for a period of ti, and perhaps many finished goods had co out of it. As such, Qingyun Sect also knew of this information and wouldn’t let themselves lag behind their opponents.
When Gu Zuo ca over this ti around, he knew that Xu Lingxiu had strived for two types of paynt for him.
The first type was naturally the sa paynt that Danyun City had given. From the Sect, two stalks of spirit dicine had been allocated to Gu Zuo to obtain the pill prescription.
The second type was to use contribution points to act as an exchange. And the number of those contribution points reached a shocking ten thousand points — Although this pill prescription only had a single sheet and didn’t have three types of precious pill prescriptions that were suitable for Atomic Realm martial artists, it wasn’t the least bit inferior in terms of contributions.
As far as Inner Sect disciples were concerned, contribution points were very important. If it was before, it would’ve been important to Gu Zuo as well. But now it seed a bit like chicken ribs.
This thing was used to exchange for so precious dicinal ingredients or to enter so special areas of the Sect. Yet, Gu Zuo was now backed by Tianheng, who also had more than ten thousand contribution points in hand — In the past, the most Tianheng spent was at the Martial Scripture Pavilion, but the Martial Scripture Pavilion was now completely open to him. Thus, contribution points didn’t have too many applicable uses. Naturally, it could all be given for Gu Zuo’s use! What’s more, Tianheng’s current privileges allowed him to purchase many things that disciples with insufficient rank were unable to buy. There were even discounts...
As a result, without the slightest hesitation, Gu Zuo chose the two spirit dicines.
The more spirit dicines, the better. He wasn’t soone who would turn a blind eye to them!
rely, on the selection of spirit dicines, Gu Zuo was sowhat unsure.
His original intention was to stockpile so with different types and attributes. But just when he was about to make his selection, for so reason, he recalled the reddish-gold power that his big brother employed. Subconsciously, he made an exchange for two other spirit dicines — Both contained the power of the sun, and carried threads of heat.
Afterwards, he didn’t have any regrets.
Once he bade farewell to Xu Lingxiu, Gu Zuo went back.
Only, after Gu Zuo entered the courtyard and returned to his room, what he saw was a Gongyi Tianheng whose body was completely soaked with sweat — Gu Zuo’s heart was startled. He rushed over with his mind drawing a blank.
“Big brother, what’s wrong?”
Tianheng’s complexion was flushed red.
Originally, his beautiful appearance was like the bright moon on a cold night. People would admire it, but they wouldn’t dare to profane it in the slightest. At this mont, his complexion seed even more beautiful than the setting sun, and it had beco another type of beauty. It would make a person want to touch him, but due to that serene expression, one would shyly retract their hand.
But this kind of thought only flickered in Gu Zuo’s heart for an instant and imdiately faded away. Right now, what he cared about even more was why his big brother suddenly beca like this.
— Could it be that sothing had gone wrong during his cultivation?
Because Tianheng had been practicing a self-made cultivation thod that he created based on his own comprehension, Gu Zuo couldn’t help worrying.
Thus, Gu Zuo didn’t hesitate to rush over and grab Tianheng’s wrist: “Big brother, don’t resist.”
Tianheng seed to be in extre pain, and only managed to grunt in affirmation.
Gu Zuo held his breath, and used his psychic power to swiftly investigate Tianheng’s body.
During this check, he imdiately discovered that there was actually a power of an extrely cold yin. It wandered through his ridians as if it wanted to rush into his bone pearls. At the sa ti, it burned his blood, turning the equilibrium within his body into a complete ss. It also made his ridians, which weren’t that tenacious to begin with, show signs of rigidity and brittleness.
Gu Zuo was very anxious.
What, what was this power?
