My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty
Chapter 51 Get the Fire Spirit Pill; Shocked Yunlong Daoist

[You secretly helped the The Heavenly Maiden of Fate resolve troubles, Destiny +200+200]

A little effort resulted in gaining some benefits. Serving as the attendant to the The Heavenly Maiden of Fate is truly enjoyable... Gu Lan chuckled inwardly, casting a glance at Lin Tan'er.

"What's wrong, Master?"

"Nothing. Just eat more vegetables."

"Okay, okay."

Lin Tan'er nodded slightly, casting a discreet look towards the direction of the drunken men, her face showing confusion.

Strange, those disgusting drunks were provoking just a moment ago. How come they fell asleep without saying a word? Still, it was fortunate enough not to cause trouble for Master.

...

As the night deepened, Gu Lan flipped through books in the inn. After these days of keeping a low profile, he had received various rewards from the system.

[Reading Qianjin Fang, Cultivation +10 years, Medical Insight +1]

[Writing a book The Book of Songs, Cultivation +20, Obtained Emperor-grade Nourishing Pill Formula]

[Writing...]

Although the rewards were miscellaneous, they held little significance for Gu Lan at the Emperor realm. However, some of them were quite useful.

"Nourishing Pill, I'll give it to Madam later."

"Bone-Strengthening Pill, let Old Yang have it. Even without cultivating, it can still extend his life."

Gu Lan neatly organized the useful items. At this moment, the flame on the table flickered, yet with the doors and windows closed, Gu Lan sensed someone approaching from outside.

"Perfect timing."

Gu Lan smiled and walked out, appearing on the roof of the inn. In the serene moonlight, he gazed silently towards the sky. Before long, two figures in Daoist robes, one large and one small, soared through the air.

"Haha, fellow Daoist possesses such a strong divine sense; this is the first time this poor Daoist has witnessed it."

Yunlong Daoist laughed heartily, stroking his graying beard. What he said was indeed true.

After reaching the Emperor realm, Gu Lan's perception covered a radius of hundreds of miles, something ordinary cultivators couldn't even imagine.

Once they landed, Gu Lan glanced at Zhongren, the little Daoist who seemed perpetually sleepy, and said, "Old Daoist, you were quite accurate. Why did you send this little Daoist right after I left home? Aren't you in a hurry?"

Yunlong Daoist understood the complaint in his words, and with a wry smile, he said, "Everything is predestined by the heavens and has nothing to do with this poor Daoist!"

"Moreover, fellow Daoist, rest assured. With your cultivation, the journey to the capital will be smooth and without danger. You can treat it as a mere earthly game." Your journey continues with empire

Although this old Daoist appeared to be a charlatan, his fortune-telling skills were indeed top-notch.

Gu Lan nodded and waved to Zhongren, the little Daoist. "Go on, deliver this to fellow Daoist."

Yunlong Daoist turned his palm, and the apprentice brought a jade bottle to Gu Lan.

"Fellow Daoist, what you requested."

Zhongren, the little Daoist, handed it to Gu Lan, tilting his head up.

Gu Lan opened the bottle, and an extremely pure Fire Elemental energy burst forth. Even his Saintly Body was somewhat stimulated at this moment.

"This is... the Nine Revolving Fire Spirit Pill?!"

"Exactly, two pills in total."

Yunlong Daoist smiled and nodded.

Gu Lan couldn't help but feel excited as he thanked the Daoist. Judging from the color and fragrance alone, these pills were even better than the system-rewarded ones. It indicated Yunlong Daoist's remarkable alchemy skills!

And with two Nine Revolving Fire Spirit Pills, aside from using one for the Phoenix Egg, he could absorb one himself, greatly improving his Fire Elemental constitution!

"Oh, by the way, the Daoist's Qi-Insighting Technique, which you gifted me last time, has now become a Saint-grade primary technique. I'll return it today."

Gu Lan took out the jade slip from his spatial storage.

Yunlong Daoist's eyes lit up! With a flick of his dusting broom, the jade slip floated slowly into his hands.

"It actually upgraded in rank; it's only been a few months... How did you achieve this, Fellow Daoist?"

After examining the slip, Yunlong Daoist's eyes widened in astonishment.

This technique had been passed down within the inner sect of Tianji Pavilion for over a thousand years.

However, no one had been able to complete the task since a certain Sect Master, who had been uniquely blessed by heaven, ascended to the Immortal Stage a millennium ago!

Yunlong Daoist had originally placed his hopes on Zhongren. Unexpectedly, Gu Lan, a "layman" who had only been learning for a few months, had accomplished it directly!

Of course, Yunlong Daoist was still unaware that this technique had already been promoted to the Saint grade a few days after he handed it to Gu Lan. Today was merely the day he showed it to him.

Gu Lan didn't explain much, just smiled faintly and said, "Everything comes together naturally. The breakthrough fortuitously occurred, driving the advancement of this technique."

Upon hearing this, Yunlong Daoist's eyes widened even further. A breakthrough? What realm had Gu Lan reached in his cultivation?

During their first meeting, Yunlong Daoist had sensed that Gu Lan was subtly above him. And he, being invincible in the world for many years, already stood at the peak of immortality...

Did Gu Lan break through from the Immortal Stage to the Saint Stage? Or did he break through from the Saint Stage... But what was beyond the Saint Stage? Yunlong Daoist didn't know. Even in the history of this continent, it might not be recorded!

What a monster...Yunlong Daoist's mind shook, quickly suppressing the curiosity that wanted to get to the bottom of things!

"Fellow Daoist is extremely fortunate, able to reach a realm that this poor Daoist can only look up to, at an age surpassing twenty. It is not surprising that it drove the advancement of the Qi-Insighting Technique."

Yunlong Old Daoist looked at Gu Lan with eyes filled with joy and a hint of envy!

The joy came from Gu Lan being a Consecrator of Tianji Pavilion, and his Destiny strength could serve as a protective umbrella. With Gu Lan around, the reputation of Tianji Pavilion, the world's strongest sect, could continue for thousands of years!

"However, in doing so, Tianji Pavilion once again owes Fellow Daoist a great favor," Yunlong Daoist said with a bitter smile. Tianji Pavilion not only cultivates the heavenly way but also attaches great importance to cause and effect. If not repaid, the heavenly way would rebound.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Lan took out a stack of paper from his embrace and casually said, "Then, I'll trouble Fellow Daoist to refine these pills for me as repayment for the favor."

Yunlong Daoist took a look. "Nourishing Pills, Bone-Strengthening Pills... Don't you need these pills anymore? Are you refining them for someone else?"

"Yes, for my wife and my family," Gu Lan said straightforwardly.

"Oh, so Fellow Daoist is already married!"

Yunlong Daoist nodded with a smile. "Fellow Daoist, rest assured. I will go back and refine them when the time comes. It won't take much time for these pills."

Gu Lan's words made him feel relieved and somewhat surprised. Usually, such transcendent experts were indifferent and emotionally distant.

After all, achieving such accomplishments at a young age meant looking down on the world, and besides oneself, few people were worth caring about.

Unexpectedly, for the first time, Yunlong Daoist saw someone like Gu Lan who placed great importance on emotions and loyalty!

To use the favors of Tianji Pavilion to refine pills for his wife and family! This unexpected act made Yunlong Daoist sigh with emotion, thinking that inviting him as a member of Tianji Pavilion's inner sect would definitely be an extremely correct choice!

...

After seeing off Yunlong Old Daoist, Gu Lan returned to the room with Zhongren.

"Fellow Daoist, I'm tired," Zhongren, the little Daoist, said truthfully, tilting his small face upward.

"Go to sleep then. Tonight, I'm going to absorb your master's pills."

Gu Lan pointed to the bed, reminding, "Oh, little Daoist, don't call me Fellow Daoist anymore. We need to act low-key while in the mortal world. In the future, you can call me Big Brother, and I'll call you Zhongren, alright?"

"Yeah... okay, Big Brother Gu!" Zhongren, the little Daoist, suddenly felt an inexplicable warmth from this transcendent expert, revealing a smile in response.
