Chapter 120 The Holy Maiden of the Myriad Desires Sect
"What do you need the Ten Thousand Year Tear Bodhi for?" Dugu Xun changed the subject.
"Refining pills, huh? Oh, right, besides the Ten Thousand Year Tear Bodhi, I'm also missing Soul-Stabilizing Dragon Blood Wood. Brother, do you have any?" Gu Yan asked. He wasn't planning on asking Dugu Xun for it, but if he didn't ask Dugu Xun and went to look for Soul-Stabilizing Dragon Blood Wood elsewhere, that guy might get angry again.
"The Soul-Stabilizing Dragon Blood Wood, it seems we don't have any left. I'll have someone help you find some!" Dugu Xun said.
"Thank you very much, brother." Gu Yan clasped his hands in thanks.
"You're being too polite. You don't consider me your elder brother, do you?" Dugu Xun said.
Gu Yan: "..."
He was wrong to even say thank you verbally; wasn't he just deliberately picking a fight?
"Ten-thousand-year-old Bodhi tree, soul-stabilizing dragon blood wood... You want to refine the Pure Void Soul-Suppressing Pill?" Dugu asked.
Gu Yan looked surprised. He was astonished that Dugu Xun knew the main ingredients of the Qingxu Soul-Suppressing Pill. Dugu Xun wasn't an alchemist, and many sixth-rank alchemists might not even know the formula for the Qingxu Soul-Suppressing Pill. How could he guess what he was going to refine? Could he be an expert in alchemy?
"Brother, how did you know?" Gu Yan asked.
"When I was trying to break through to the Spirit Venerable Realm, the alchemists in my clan made me the Pure Void Soul-Suppressing Pill," Dugu Xun said. He had heard them mention the medicinal materials used in the pill, so he remembered it.
"You're only in the mid-stage of the Spirit Emperor Realm, and you already need an eighth-grade pill to suppress your inner demons? Aren't your inner demons a bit too heavy?" Dugu Xun said. In fact, this pill is only needed when breaking through to the early stage of the Spirit Venerable Realm or above. Dugu Xun was seeking stability, and with his large family and business, the Dugu family refined this Pure Void Soul-Suppressing Pill for him when he was breaking through to the Spirit Venerable Realm.
Gu Yan: "..."
He didn't have any inner demons originally. It was only because an evil god was causing trouble for him that he needed the Qingxu Zhenhun Pill to suppress his inner demons.
"I'm curious now, what is your inner demon?" Dugu Xun asked with a smile.
Gu Yan: "..."
"However, given your terrifying cultivation speed, you'll reach the Spirit Venerable Realm in about a few hundred years. Planning ahead now is a good idea," Dugu Xun added. "Can you refine eighth-grade pills now?"
"I've looked at the prescription, and I don't think there's a big problem," Gu Yan said.
Now it was Dugu Xun's turn to fall silent.
He stared at Gu Yan for a long time and said, "You're a monster."
He's only twenty-nine years old! He's only twenty-nine, and he's already in the mid-stage of the Spirit Emperor Realm. He can already refine eighth-grade pills. What kind of monster is he? If a sixth-grade alchemist said that, Dugu Xun would definitely think he was bragging. But with Gu Yan, Dugu Xun believed that he was definitely confident.
"Brother, are you insulting me?" Gu Yan asked.
Dugu Xun smiled and said, "I was clearly praising you."
At this moment, a strong spiritual energy fluctuation appeared on the entire ship, and Gu Yan looked around and saw many golden runes appearing on the walls and the ground.
The entire giant ship was covered with golden runes, which resonated with the magic arrays surrounding it. The ship was enveloped in a heavy light shield, and then it underwent a long-distance spatial teleportation.
The surrounding space was distorted like jumbled lines. When everything returned to normal, they had already left the territory of Bazhou and appeared in the Fengzhou region of the Nineteen Continents.
Gu Yan looked outside. The mountains were beautiful, a bright moon hung high, and a great river flowed under the moon. Waterfalls thousands of feet wide cascaded down from the peaks, creating a magnificent sight.
After looking at the scenery outside, Gu Yan then looked at the arrays on the walls, floor, and ceiling that had not completely disappeared. This entire ship was engraved with so many teleportation arrays. These arrays were so ingenious that he wanted to study them.
"This is Fengzhou. If you don't want to go to Youyun, then don't go. I have a mansion in Fengzhou with a pretty nice view. Would you be interested in taking a look?" Dugu Xun asked Gu Yan.
Gu Yan said, "I will follow my elder brother's arrangements."
Dugu Xun nodded, quite satisfied with Gu Yan's answer.
The giant ship landed on the great river and drifted downstream. The bright moon in the sky was reflected on the river surface. Suddenly, the sound of elegant music came from the wind. The sound was very far away, but it really existed.
After Gu Yan released her divine sense, she saw a magnificent giant ship, no less understated than the Dugu family's ship, appear dozens of miles away. The men and women standing on the ship were all dressed in white, and each of them had outstanding appearances, with many even being considered beauties.
Gu Yan looked surprised. These people were all quite powerful, with their strength ranging from the Heavenly Spirit Realm to the Spirit King Realm. Moreover, they all seemed to have studied the art of seduction, and their every move carried a hint of allure. The elegant music was coming from the top deck of the ship, where many people were playing instruments.
There were flute players, pipa players, zither players, and sheng players...
Gu Yan's gaze fell on the girl playing the zither. The girl looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with silver hair cascading down her back like clouds, and fair, smooth, delicate skin that seemed as if it could be broken with a touch. She was exceptionally beautiful, a rare beauty, even more so than Chen Yujing, Shen Lihua, Xie Jingshu, and others.
She wore a white gauze robe, with a light shawl draped over her arm. Her silver hair was adorned with pearls and jade, and she wore silver hoop earrings, a necklace, and silver bracelets. She possessed an elegant and noble demeanor, and her cultivation had already reached the mid-stage of the Spirit Emperor Realm.
When Gu Yan's divine sense turned to her, the girl also looked up in Gu Yan's direction. The moment she saw Gu Yan's face clearly, the girl's eyes widened, and she froze for a moment. However, she quickly regained her composure.
Soon, the two giant ships met in the river.
On the top floor, all the doors and windows were open; without using divine sense, both sides could clearly see each other with their eyesight. The musicians had all stopped playing, and the stunningly beautiful girl in white stood up. She bowed towards Dugu Xun from afar, saying:
"Greetings, Uncle-Master Dugu."
The woman had a very pleasant voice and a captivating charm; she had clearly practiced the art of seduction. However, her allure seemed innate, without any artifice. Yet, compared to Gu Yan, her seductive abilities were truly insignificant.
When the men and women in white around her saw Gu Yan's face clearly, they were all shocked, and then they stared at her intently.
My goodness! What a handsome young man!
This young man is even more handsome than the sect leader.
Dugu Xun raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the stunningly beautiful girl in white. He then glanced at Gu Yan beside him, who gave him an inquiring look. Dugu Xun said:
"She is the current Holy Maiden of the Myriad Desires Sect, Xu Mengdie."
The current generation of the Myriad Desires Sect has no Holy Son, only a Holy Daughter. The next sect leader will be this Holy Daughter. Others may not know, but the four families and five sects are all aware of this.
