After explaining some things to the blood coffin, Gu Yuan transformed into Yuangu again and came to the city lord's mansion.

"How is it? Is the princess doing well lately?"

As soon as he entered the room, Gu Yuan ignored Shui Ningye beside the door and chose to look directly at Lin Wan'er.

Lin Wan'er was delighted when she saw Gu Yuan walk in, but then she remembered that Shui Ningye was still there, so she suppressed her joy and said lightly, "The princess is still the same."

Gu Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart. How could he not know that he was still the same? Shui Ningye was just pretending to ask.

"Mr. Yuan, when will Yao'er wake up?" Shui Ningye looks quite haggard recently, without the elegance he once had.

Gu Yuan glanced at Shui Ningye and said with a smile: "I've said this before, half a year or a year."

"Hey, sir, could you tell me the specific method? Is it to refine pills or something? If it is to refine pills, can you tell Ning Ye what kind of pills it is? That way I can prepare the materials needed for the pills in advance, right?"

Shui Ningye was quite worried, fearing that Gu Yuan was just fooling him, but his words seemed so respectful that people couldn't tell his true intention.

Gu Yuan sneered in his heart. Others didn’t know what he meant, but he, Gu Yuan, understood it very well!

"Of course I have this method, but I can't tell you at the moment. After all, the elixir is a high-level elixir, not a cheap item. It is not convenient for me to reveal it easily." Gu Yuan said lightly.

"this……"

Shui Ningye wanted to say something more, a trace of struggle flashing across his face. He then sighed and said, "I hope you will do your best. If you can cure Yaoyao, I will definitely treat you as a guest of honor."

"Um."

Gu Yuan hummed softly and said, "Your Highness should leave first. I need to discuss with Miss Wan'er some details about taking care of the princess's health. It's not convenient for you to hear this."

"Okay! Then Ning Ye will withdraw first."

Shui Ningye glanced at the sleeping Shui Yaoyao, then stepped out.

"Hahaha, seriously, it's hard to believe that His Highness is so respectful to you."

As soon as Shui Ningye walked out, Lin Wan'er smiled instantly and looked at Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan smiled helplessly, took off the Thousand Machine Mask, and said with a smile: "It's all because of my good disguise, otherwise this guy would have sent people to capture me long ago."

"But what exactly are you trying to do? From my impression, you and the princess have only met once, right?" Lin Wan'er asked curiously.

"Well... well, of course I helped her because I regarded her as a friend. What could I want? Nothing." Gu Yuan said with a light cough.

"Oh? Really?"

Lin Wan'er said with a half-smile, "Princess, you are so beautiful, it's no exaggeration to say you are a beauty of the country. Don't you want to be the consort of the Shuihan Empire?"

"What? Prince Consort... Prince Consort?"

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "What are you thinking about? This girl is just a little girl, how could I possibly think about that kind of thing?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, don't forget, boys and girls like us can get married when we are fourteen years old. You are almost seventeen, right? The princess should be around sixteen, which is a very suitable age!" Lin Wan'er teased.

"I think you're asking for a beating!"

Gu Yuan said seriously, "Stop messing around. I'm here to tell you something serious."

Seeing Gu Yuan's serious face, Lin Wan'er put away her playful smile and asked quickly, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"Have you heard about the destruction of Lingshan Sect?" Gu Yuan asked.

"Of course I heard about it. How could I not know about such a big thing? Oh, right? Didn't you have a conflict with the Lingshan Sect a while ago? What happened? Why did they destroy the sect overnight? I heard that all their elders and the leader died tragically overnight, which led to the demise of the Lingshan Sect."

"Well, it seems you know everything. That's right, Lingshan Sect is gone, and now its address has been occupied by the Black Wind Sect, Mingshan Sect and Golden Sword Sect." Gu Yuan said.

"Tell me quickly, what exactly happened? Does it have anything to do with you?" Lin Wan'er asked.

"Actually...it's somewhat related."

Gu Yuan hesitantly said, "Actually, those people from Lingshan Sect were killed by my men."

"What? Your men killed him?"

Lin Wan'er's face changed drastically. She hurriedly stood up and opened the door. After confirming that no one was outside, she closed the door again and approached Gu Yuan, asking, "What's going on? The Lingshan Sect has a Spirit Master who is half a step away from becoming a Spirit King. How did you do it?"

Lin Wan'er was very shocked and even couldn't react.

Gu Yuan can now be said to be her good friend, and he is also the key to revenge for her master, but she is excited but also a little scared. It is good that Gu Yuan is stronger, but it also means that he will be targeted by more people or forces, which is not good news.

"Hey, I told you it was done by my men. Don't forget what I told you before. The Abyss Pawnshop looks ordinary on the surface, but it is actually the prototype of what we are going to build. The current discovery is not bad. At least we have a powerful Spirit King and a Spirit Lord. Although there are not many people, in comparison, even a force like the Lingshan Sect is not enough for us to regard as our opponent." Gu Yuan was a little excited and proud.

Although none of these were done by him, the Blood Coffin is someone close to him and someone he can order around, which is also part of his strength.

"So, the strength of the Abyss Pawnshop is so terrifying?" Lin Wan'er asked in shock.

"Alas, it's a pity that my current strength is too weak, otherwise the Abyss Pawnshop would be even stronger." Gu Yuan said with some regret.

"Well, your current strength is a little weak. I am already a powerful spiritual master now." Lin Wan'er said lightly.

"Oh, you made a breakthrough?"

Gu Yuan asked casually, then suddenly froze. He looked at Lin Wan'er, his pupils gradually dilating: "You actually broke through to the spiritual master level?"

Gu Yuan was about to vomit blood. He was now one level behind Lin Wan'er.

"Yes, I made another breakthrough without realizing it." Lin Wan'er said helplessly.

The corners of Gu Yuan's mouth twitched wildly. He took a deep breath and said, "Don't talk, let me talk!"

Gu Yuan was so envious!

Suppressing the jealousy in his heart, Gu Yuan sorted out his thoughts and said, "I've been busy with so much lately that I haven't had much time to practice. Now you can see that my strength is indeed a bit low. It's not going to work this way, so I plan to go on a long journey to gain some experience."

"Ah? Are you leaving?" Lin Wan'er was a little reluctant.

Gu Yuan nodded and said, "Well, I'm going to go to the Huoyun Sect. The city over there is much more prosperous than here, and the competition is also greater. Maybe I can cultivate faster this way."

"How long will you be gone?"

"At least three months, at most half a year."
