Chapter 49: The Abandoned Young Master Long Aotian
"Hey, they're here. Master, can we break the soundproofing spell now?"
Seeing Wu Lingnan and Pei Yichen coming over the bushes from afar, Zhuge Yu stood up from where he was squatting idly watching the ants carrying food, and said to Xiang Gucheng with a squinting look in a bad mood.
Xiang Gucheng folded his hands and didn't bother with him. He looked at Pei Yichen from a distance and silently removed the soundproofing that had been set up around them.
A short distance of fifty meters is nothing to a cultivator's hearing. Knowing that Wu Lingnan might forget to set up the soundproofing spell, Xiang Gucheng took precautions and directly set up the soundproofing spell on all of them, including himself.
Finally hearing the familiar sounds of nature, Bai Wanyan couldn't help but burst into tears. She looked at Wu Lingnan who was walking towards them, and couldn't help but complain affectionately, why did it take so long, it was almost an hour.
But when she noticed the slightly red corners of Wu Lingnan's eyes, she immediately swallowed her words back.
Unfortunately, Zhuge Yu didn't have the same delicate and considerate heart as her. He simply put an arm on Pei Yichen's shoulder without any hesitation, not noticing the other's muscles tensing and relaxing in an instant. With his other hand, he fanned himself and leaned closer to ask quietly:
"Brother, isn't Lingnan confessing her love to you? And you, a wooden idiot, wouldn't be so foolish as to reject her?"
Pei Yichen: ...
He shook off Zhuge Yu's arm speechlessly and said restrainedly, "...No."
Zhuge Yu fanned himself with some confusion. Why did he feel that Pei Yichen's voice was too low, as if... a little hoarse?
Before he could ask questions with such low EQ, Xiang Gucheng couldn't stand it anymore and took action directly. He grabbed Zhuge Yu's collar and dragged him back, warning him:
"Don't talk nonsense," who could not hear him? "They are not..." Xiang Gucheng hesitated. He didn't know whether his junior sister wanted other people to know about his relationship with Pei Yichen.
Seeing this, Wu Lingnan smiled and said, "It's not what you think, Pei Yichen. He is my brother."
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Yu and Bai Wanyan were dumbfounded. This shocking news made them see stars. They moved in unison, glancing left at Wu Lingnan, right at Pei Yichen, left again, right again, left again...
Wu Lingnan couldn't hold it anymore. What did these two people mean? Could it be that... She had waited for so long, but her red eyes still couldn't be covered.
She couldn't help wanting to take out a small mirror or use the water mirror technique to look at her face again, but being stared at so closely, she really couldn't make any unnecessary movements. Her smile became more and more stiff, and finally disappeared.
Pei Yichen was not as good-tempered as her. Being stared at for such a long time was as uncomfortable to him as throwing a cat into the water.
He couldn't stand the strange looks from the two of them anymore, so he frowned and asked directly, "...what's wrong?"
Bai Wanyan stopped looking around and explained sheepishly, "Because..." She closed her eyes and said, "You two don't look alike at all. Who would have thought you were siblings?"
Pei Yichen was silent for a moment, then defended himself, "Actually... I look more like my father."
"I, I..." Wu Lingnan was also in pain about this. She hesitated to speak. "I said, actually, I inherited my mother's hidden gene. Do you believe it?" Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "I look like my grandmother."
Lose the battle but not the battle, that's it!
No, why should she explain this to them? She and Pei Yichen are siblings!
Wu Lingnan came to his senses and ignored the two guys.
Jingkong, who had been watching silently from the side, walked over to Pei Yichen calmly and smiled at him sincerely: "Congratulations, donor, this connection is a great kindness."
His smile was like a lotus in the lake, pure and white, full of sincere blessings.
Hearing the voice, Pei Yichen withdrew his secret glance at Wu Lingnan and turned his attention to Jingkong. Suddenly, he was faced with Jingkong's smiling smile, and he was a little stunned.
"Thank you." Thinking of Wu Lingnan's words, Pei Yichen suppressed his desire to escape, looked directly into Jingkong's sincere eyes, and said thank you very seriously.
Wu Lingnan, who was also secretly watching Pei Yichen on the other side, couldn't help but smile when she saw this. See, she said, her brother now has friends too.
A bunch of people went back to Huaqing with a lot of noise and fights. During this time, in order to prevent possible revenge from Daotian Sect, Wu Lingnan pestered her mother not to leave and dragged her mother to live around Huaqing. But what puzzled them was that Daotian Sect really did nothing.
One month later, Daotian Sect, back mountain.
At this time, the barrier in the back mountain was covered with dark clouds and lightning. Guangping and several other elders stood outside the barrier with excited expressions, their eyes full of earnestness.
The calamity clouds in the sky grew thicker, the lightning grew brighter, and terrifying power accumulated within, waiting for the moment of thunder to fall in wrath.
The sky was extremely dark at this time.
Boom——
Accompanied by a roar loud enough to shake the sky, a lightning bolt as thick as a bucket struck down fiercely, followed by several more lightning bolts, instantly illuminating the dim environment as bright as day. All the elders were concentrating their attention and staring intently.
This divine transformation calamity has already begun!
After a full 749 thunderbolts struck, the once beautiful Qianli Back Mountain was now ravaged into a pitch-black expanse of scorched earth. Guangping stared anxiously at the place where the Sect Master was in seclusion. Did the Sect Master successfully overcome the tribulation?
Just when the elders all looked a little strange, a loud laugh came from somewhere in the back mountain. Along with the loud laughter that resounded between heaven and earth, a middle-aged man with an ordinary face appeared in front of the elders.
Regardless of their thoughts, the elders all showed joy on their faces. With Guangping at the head, they all congratulated the clan leader:
"Congratulations, Sect Master, on your great advancement in cultivation and achieving the Divine Transformation Stage!"
“Okay, okay, okay!”
Daotian Sect's leader Ge Hu said "good" three times in a row. His face was rosy and his joy was beyond words. The aura of the Spirit Transformation Stage slowly emanated from him. This was because he had just broken through and had not yet been able to gather his spiritual power. Several elders with lower cultivation bases were obviously unable to bear it, but Ge Hu did not care.
Guangping's expression remained unchanged. He stepped forward and said respectfully, "Master, I have something to report."
After he finished speaking, he moved his lips and forced the sect master to record everything that happened in seclusion, and reported it all. After that, he lowered his head and waited for the sect master's decision.
"Oh." A gleam of light flashed in Ge Hu's eyes. He pondered for a moment and said, "There is no rush for this matter. You can withdraw first. I will make my own arrangements."
The elders looked at each other and responded in unison.
After all the elders left, Ge Hu flashed and came to the secret room of Daotian Sect alone. Outside this secret room, there were high-level formations at every step. If you took a wrong step, there would be murderous intentions and danger all around. In Daotian Sect, only the sect master had the authority to enter.
In the center of the secret room, there is only a huge alchemy furnace. The body of the furnace is carved with dragons and phoenixes, and it flickers with a faint light, as if it will take off into the world at the next moment. As Ge Hu approaches, the patterns on the furnace flow slowly, deep and shallow, and a mysterious spiritual light is hidden in it, slowly exuding an ancient breath.
This is exactly the semi-immortal artifact held by the Daotian Sect, the Dragon and Phoenix Yin-Yang Cauldron!
Ge Hu walked slowly to three meters in front of the Yin-Yang Cauldron and stopped. He lowered his head slightly, stared at the ground, and said with a cupped hand:
"Senior, Ge Hu has now successfully broken through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage."
The smoke curling from the Yin-Yang Cauldron rose and transformed into a translucent human figure. If Pei Yichen were here, he would be horrified, because the face of this figure was exactly the same as that of Old Du in his spirit ring!
An old voice came into Ge Hu's ears:
"Yes, it seems that you didn't waste the medicinal power of that Heavenly Grade Transformation Pill."
Ge Hu's attitude became more and more humble: "Thank you for the elixir, senior. It was with the power of your elixir that Ge Hu was able to break through the Nascent Soul stage."
The old man responded indifferently, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. Ge Hu waited for a while, and when he saw that the old man had nothing else to say, he said carefully:
"Senior, the Earth-grade spiritual weapon you specifically requested was taken away by that kid from the Pei family. We need..."
He kept the second half of the sentence to himself and lowered his head, waiting for the old man's words.
The old man showed no sign of surprise. He gave a strange laugh and said, "In that case, let him take it."
Ge Hu was shocked. This was different from what he had said before.
He chewed the words of inquiry in his mouth for a long time, and finally asked aloud: "Senior, with the loss of that top-grade spirit embryo, the matter of refining the immortal artifact and reopening the gate to immortality..."
The old man glanced at him with a smile, and a dangerous inspiration exploded in Ge Hu's soul. He endured it tightly, not daring to reveal the slightest sign of wrongness in his expression or movement. After a long time, he finally felt relaxed and relieved.
"Don't worry, I've already left a great gift inside that spiritual weapon. It's a top-grade spiritual embryo that won't escape my grasp." The old man stopped looking at him and turned into a wisp of green smoke before returning to the Yin-Yang Cauldron. "Alright, if there's nothing else important, you can leave."
Ge Hu agreed, maintaining a respectful look and slowly walked out of the secret room.
As soon as he left the secret room, Ge Hu's expression changed. He teleported to the sect's main hall, called all the elders, explained all the matters, then waved his hand to let the elders leave. He sat alone in the first seat of the hall, tapping the armrest with his fingers, thinking constantly.
This senior claimed to be the spirit of the Dragon and Phoenix Yin-Yang Cauldron, and Ge Hu was only half-believing. However, his aura far beyond the Spirit Transformation Stage was real. Ge Hu even guessed that this senior was very likely to have taken the legendary half step. Coupled with his superb alchemy skills, Ge Hu was happy to serve with a stick and sweet dates.
If this senior couldn't leave the Dragon and Phoenix Yin-Yang Cauldron even a step, Ge Hu would have been much more suspicious, but barely knowing this weakness gave him the patience to pretend to be nice to him.
After all, for Ge Hu, the benefits he gets are real. As for the others, as the leader of a sect, he has plenty of ways to achieve them without affecting his own interests.
But, become an immortal.
Ge Hu clenched his hands and crushed the armrest of the jade chair under him into pieces. A smile played on the corner of his mouth, and his cold eyes were full of crazy greed and desire.
