Shocking Gu Xun'er a Hundred Times
After leaving the Trading Fair, Xiao Yan went straight back to the Ye Family's residence and was surprised to find Gu Xun'er chatting with Xiao Yi Xian.
Seeing the two women discussing Xiao Yan, Tang Zhen took his leave. He had only two purposes for this trip: to give Xiao Yan the Prosperous Fire and to take Xiao Yan to the Trading Fair.
As for gossip about Xiao Yan... Tang Zhen really wanted to hear it, but that would be too impolite.
"Long time no see!" Gu Xun'er waved to Xiao Yan.
"You two chat." Seeing Xiao Yan return, Xiao Yi Xian left.
During the conversation just now, Xiao Yi Xian had already determined that Gu Xun'er Xiao Yan n't exactly like Xiao Yan, but only had some affection for him and considered him a good friend.
However, what Xiao Yi Xian didn't know was that, compared to those people within the Gu Clan, Xiao Yan, who originally only had a slight liking for his good friend, appeared exceptionally outstanding...
"You actually discovered the Nether Saint Relic?" Gu Xun'er asked, resting her chin on her hand with great interest.
Gu Xun'er still remembered what Xiao Yan said when he handed her the Soul Communication Jade Slip when they parted ways—that she would contact him if she discovered the Nether Saint Relic or the Tusita Ancient Emperor Relic in the future.
Xiao Yan didn't reply, but directly reached out and tapped Gu Xun'er's forehead.
Gu Xun'er stiffened slightly, then realized that Xiao Yan wanted to transmit information through Soul Power, so she did not resist, closed her eyes, and began to receive the information transmitted by Xiao Yan.
After several breaths, Gu Xun'er finally came to her senses from the massive amount of information, and looked at Xiao Yan with a complicated expression. "The Heaven Refining Ancient Array..."
"Hmm, I think this Formation is quite suitable for your Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, so I'll give it to you," Xiao Yan said, taking a sip of tea.
Gu Xun'er bit her lip. Originally, she had brought the last three seals of the Emperor Seal Art, as well as the Heaven-tier Low-grade Dou Technique, Limitless Void Shattering Body, which she had obtained from Gu Zhen. But at this moment, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed to use them.
The Heaven Refining Ancient Array is a Formation with power comparable to Heavenly Grade Advanced Dou Technique. It is more than enough to serve as a trump card within the Gu Clan, and can even be used to turn the tide in times of life and death!
However, Xiao Yan gave it to her very casually.
"Damn it! I'm clearly the number one heir of the Ancient Race, yet I'm not as generous as you." Gu Xun'er pouted and handed Xiao Yan the scrolls of the last three seals of the Emperor Seal Art and the Limitless Void Shattering Body.
"After all, you're just an heir! Once you break through to Dou Emperor and become an existence comparable to Ancient Emperor, you can also follow my example and spend money however you want." Xiao Yan accepted the scroll and looked at it. The Emperor Seal Art continued to gather dust, but the Limitless Void Shattering Body was worth practicing.
Gu Xun'er opened her mouth, then shook her head and laughed, "How easy is it to break through to the Dou Emperor? Even though my father has cultivated for thousands of years, he is only getting closer to that goal."
Just then, Gu Xun'er suddenly thought of something, her breath hitched, and she stared at Xiao Yan, asking, "Do you know the location of the Tou She Ancient God's Inheritance?"
"Yes, it's located beneath the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower at the Jia Nan Academy, but it requires a complete Tou She Ancient God Jade to open," Xiao Yan replied casually.
"..." Gu Xun'er suddenly covered her face. "Wait a minute, I feel a little dizzy."
Xiao Yan, understanding the situation, then began to drink tea.
This tea is also a special supply from the Ye Family; only those with connections within the Pill Tower can obtain it. It is an extremely precious Medicinal Herbs that, over time, can nourish the soul.
In the past, even Ye Zhong was reluctant to drink this tea. However, since the Prosperous Fire became famous, every member of the Ye Family who could make Prosperous Fire on their own has been Alchemist, and the once extremely precious tea has become commonplace.
It wasn't until Xiao Yan had drunk two cups of tea that Gu Xun'er finally regained her composure and asked, "Why did you tell me this so easily?"
Xiao Yan looked at the distraught Gu Xun'er and comforted her, "Didn't you also tell me about the Soul Hall's movements? For me, that's more important information. As for the Tou She Ancient God's Inheritance, I'm only Dou Zong, so that has nothing to do with me."
"Furthermore, even if the Gu Clan knew the exact location of the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion, they couldn't open it without the complete Tou She Ancient God Jade. The previous Ancient Void Dragon Emperor, Peak of Nine-Star Dou Sheng, couldn't open it either, and was instead trapped there, unable to leave."
"Once the Gu Clan have gathered Tou She Ancient God Jade, or have reached an agreement with other forces that possess the Tou She Ancient God Jade, my strength should be quite high enough to participate in the competition for inheritance."
"So, for me, telling you this information is just a matter of finding someone to help open the door in advance."
"... You really are arrogant!" Gu Xun'er raised her teacup and drank it all in one gulp, then slammed it heavily on the table. "I've decided! I'll tell the clan when I reach the Peak of Nine-Star Dou Sheng that I also want to strive to break through to Dou Emperor!"
"Okay, thanks." Xiao Yan also raised his teacup and drank it all in one gulp, as if toasting with Gu Xun'er.
"What are you thanking me for? I never said I would wait for you. Without the Dou Di Bloodline, your cultivation speed can't compare to mine! Perhaps when I Peak of Nine-Star Dou Sheng, you hadn't even broken through to Dou Sheng yet!" Gu Xun'er turned her face away, leaned back in her chair, and blushed slightly.
Gu Xun'er wiped her face, convinced that her blushing cheeks were because Xiao Yan had seen through her disguise. So she changed the subject, saying, "How do you know I have the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame? Even among the Gu Clan, not many people know about it."
"I've refined quite a few Heavenly Flames, and they've mutated, so I can sense the aura of those Heavenly Flames on you," Xiao Yan answered every question.
"Do you still remember when you refined the Green Lotus Core Flame, and then sold the root to me?" Gu Xun'er's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, and then she continued, "At that time, I didn't know that you had actually made a promise with my father."
"Which one are you referring to?" Xiao Yan asked.
"?" Gu Xun'er suddenly looked up, stared at Xiao Yan for a long time with wide eyes, and then looked away and said, "The Heavenly Tier Dou Technique, Limitless Void Shattering Body."
"Oh, back then, it was because I mentioned that I couldn't break through to the Dou Emperor, so I cultivated Emperor Realm Soul and an Emperor-level body, which inspired your father. So he decided to give me a body-refining Dou Technique," Xiao Yan explained.
"..." Gu Xun'er thought about it and realized that it was indeed after that incident that Gu Yuan began to focus on physical cultivation and even added some content to the inheritance of the Gu Clan.
"That's really impressive! I remember you were only Dou Ling back then, right? Your vision has already extended to Dou Emperor." Gu Xun'er with some emotion.
"Of course, I am destined to break through to the Dou Emperor!" Xiao Yan said proudly.
At this moment, Xiao Yan was like the undisputed pinnacle of the Dou Qi Continent amidst the Nightmare Heavenly Mist, exuding an invincible aura that left Gu Xun'er somewhat dazed.
"You don't need to worry about the Soul Hall. The Gu Clan has already dispatched an Advanced Half-Saint to Ye City, along with Space Jade Slip. A true Dou Sheng Expert will be sent to provide support at any time." Gu Xun'er left these words in a hurry, perhaps to arrange the ambush of the Soul Hall.
Only after escaping the Ye Family residence did Gu Xun'er look in this direction again and murmur, "What a pity, you already have two wives."
