The cold system prompt sound rang in Gu Changqing's mind at the right time.
"bite!"
"Important destiny node [Lin Qingxue] detected."
"This character is about to encounter a crisis, during which he will receive an important inheritance, and at the same time, develop a fateful bond with Ye Chen, the son of destiny."
Lin Qingxue.
A hint of understanding flashed in the depths of Gu Changqing's eyes.
In the original book, this is indeed a heroine of considerable importance.
She is the contemporary saint of the immortal holy land Yaoguang Holy Land, with both talent and beauty, and great luck.
The system clearly marked the time and place where she was about to encounter crisis.
A dangerous place called "Meteor Ancient Gorge".
"Saint Yaoguang..."
Gu Changqing tapped the jade table with his fingertips, making a crisp sound.
"Since it's a 'lucky node', there's no reason to miss it."
He decided to go there himself.
This is not only to seize an opportunity, but also to include this important chess piece into one's own investment portfolio in advance.
The Gu family's intelligence network, like an invisible giant hand, spans the nine heavens and ten earths.
Confirming Lin Qingxue's whereabouts and the type of the so-called "crisis" - a demon king about to awaken in the depths of the ancient ravine, and the accompanying outbreak of restrictions - was just a matter of a moment.
Outside the ancient meteorite ravine, there are mountains and heavy fog.
Gu Changqing did not choose to show up directly and with great fanfare.
He arrived quietly and blended into the forest like a shadow.
With the [Transmutation Method] in operation, his aura was perfectly restrained, and his figure flickered between light and shadow, as if he had completely merged into this world.
He chose to observe first.
Waiting for the best time to "invest".
As expected.
Half a day later, an extremely beautiful figure, stepping on the moonlight, broke into the depths of the ancient ravine.
It was the Holy Maiden Yaoguang, Lin Qingxue.
She seemed to have come here for experience, or perhaps to search for some legendary elixir.
Soon, just as the system predicted.
Deep in the ancient ravine, demonic energy surged into the sky, and forbidden light flashed!
The shadow of a demon king who had been sleeping for who knows how many years roared out, accompanied by dense patterns of ancient killing arrays, instantly trapping Lin Qingxue inside.
Lin Qingxue's pretty face turned pale, and she activated the secret method of the holy land, trying her best to resist.
But the demon king was extremely ferocious and his killing array was fierce and unmatched.
She has fallen into despair.
According to the trajectory of the original book, Ye Chen might still be struggling in some corner at this moment, and then by coincidence, he would be a step later to "save the beauty" and thus capture the heart of the saint.
Unfortunately, in this life, the script has been rewritten.
Just as Lin Qingxue gritted her teeth and her spiritual power was about to run out, a hint of despair flashed in her beautiful eyes.
An indifferent voice, as if coming from the sky, rang clearly in her ears.
"How dare you act so presumptuously with just a Remnant Soul restriction?"
Before he finished speaking.
An extremely bright sword light tore through the dim demonic aura.
The sword light seemed not to belong to the human world!
It swept across with the supreme power to sever all causes and effects.
“Sizzle—”
The indestructible ancient killing formation was easily torn apart like thin paper.
The roaring shadow of the demon king didn't even make a scream before it was shattered into nothingness by the sword light.
Everything happened in a flash.
Lin Qingxue stood there blankly, feeling the lingering, heart-pounding sword intent.
She didn't even see the specific movements of the person who attacked.
A tall and slender figure had stood not far in front of her without her knowing when.
The white clothes are whiter than snow and not stained by dust.
His face was too handsome to be that of an ordinary man, his dark eyes were as deep as the sea of stars, and he looked down on all living beings with indifference.
It was Gu Changqing.
"Gu...Young Master of the Gu family?"
Lin Qingxue recognized the person and was shocked.
The name Gu Changqing is now well-known among the younger generation.
In particular, the shocking scene at the Tianyuan City's wedding cancellation banquet had already spread to all major forces.
But she had never thought that she would meet the legendary young master of the Gu family here and in this way.
I never imagined that the opponent's strength could be so terrifying!
With a casual blow, she broke the crisis that left her helpless.
Gu Changqing's gaze lingered briefly on Lin Qingxue, and then fell on the Taoist fruit that was revealed after the restriction was broken, shining with colorful light.
That is the biggest opportunity here.
But he had no intention of taking it for himself.
Instead, he casually pointed at the Dao Fruit towards Lin Qingxue.
"This thing is destined for you, take it."
His tone was so calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
It seemed as if the supreme fruit that could drive countless cultivators crazy was no different from weeds on the roadside in his eyes.
Lin Qingxue was stunned again.
She originally thought that the other party came to her rescue for this opportunity.
But I never thought...
"bite!"
"It was detected that the host gave guidance to the girl of destiny, Lin Qingxue, and indirectly gifted her the [Seven Apertures Exquisite Dao Fruit]."
"Trigger a hundred thousand times critical hit return!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining: [Supreme Immortal Technique - Nine Revolutions of Reincarnation]!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining: [Top Alchemy Inheritance - Nine Chapters of the Dao of Alchemy (Immortal Emperor Chapter)]!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining: [One Thousand Extra Luck Points]!"
In Gu Changqing's sea of consciousness, the vast mysteries of immortality and the ultimate principles of alchemy instantly flooded into his mind.
Although his cultivation level has not directly broken through, his understanding of the great Dao and the improvement of his soul level are immeasurable.
Strength surges again!
His expression remained calm, and he just looked at Lin Qingxue deeply.
That look held a hint of amusement and depth.
"Although opportunities are good, what's more important is whether you can grasp yourself."
"Saint Lin, what do you think?"
Leaving behind these meaningful words, Gu Changqing turned around, his figure transformed into a stream of light, and disappeared in an instant.
Without taking away a cloud.
Only Lin Qingxue was left standing there, holding the colorful Taoist fruit in her hand, lost in thought.
Gu Changqing's last words and his deep and incomprehensible eyes kept echoing in her mind.
What kind of person is this young master of the Gu family?
Why help her?
Why would they treat such a precious treasure so lightly?
A strong curiosity and an inexplicable throbbing quietly took root in her heart.
She vaguely felt that there might be more interactions between her and the young master of the Gu family in the future.
This "good fate", or "investment", successfully planted a seed in Lin Qingxue's heart that was enough to influence the direction of the original plot.
