Chapter 95: Ling Yu's Greediness (4)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Yes, Master."

Xunfeng and Moyu simultaneously joined their fists, bowed and replied respectfully.

Since Gu Ruoyun had now moved out of the Hundred Herb Hall, both Ling Yu and Zuo Shangchen were not able to find her. Zuo Shangchen said nothing and simply turned to leave. However, Ling Yu was not as easy to get rid of.

"I have the imperial concubine’s imperial decree! Get Gu Ruoyun to come out here to receive it, immediately!"

Ling Yu raised her chin as her greedy eyes landed on the many valuable herbs within the Hundred Herb Hall.

If I could obtain the Hundred Herb Hall, the Crown Prince would surely take notice of me. From then on, the next logical move would be to become the Crown Prince’s consort and someday, I would become the Empress, the mother of the nation.

"She’s not in the Hundred Herb Hall. You’ve come to the wrong place."

Elder Yu’s expression darkened. He replied expressionlessly.

"I don’t care where she is. Get her out here to see me this instant!" Ling Yu smiled coldly, "Unless she intends to disobey the imperial decree! By then, even the Hundred Herb Hall wouldn't be able to protect her! Furthermore, the imperial concubine has made another decree. Seeing as the Hundred Herb Hall is giving shelter to my grandfather's murderer, they are hereby sentenced to punishment. However, the imperial concubine is merciful. If you hand over the reigns of the Hundred Herb Hall, then we’ll leave you with your lives."

Of course, that last sentence came entirely from Ling Yu.

She had been eyeing Hundred Herb Hall for way longer than just a day or two. So why would she not use this opportunity to steal the Hundred Herb Hall for herself? Even if the imperial concubine got angry at her at a later time, she could offer her the precious herbs that were held within the walls of the Hundred Herb Hall to pacify her anger.

Ling Yu had it all planned out perfectly. Unfortunately, it easier said than done…

"Heh." Elder Yu smiled coldly, "Such savagery at such a young age, little girl. I'd like to see how exactly do you plan on taking all of our lives!"

Having lived for so many years, this was the first time he had met such a courageous little girl. Even though the Hundred Herb Hall now belonged to Gu Ruoyun, he was still a member of the Dongfang family.

This little imperial concubine’s niece wants to kill me? He thought. Haha, it was ridiculous.

"You old fart! You’re just a measly merchant and yet you have the gall to disobey the imperial powers? My aunt is the imperial concubine! Why would she fear a mere merchant like you? I'd advise you to hand over the Hundred Herb Hall or you won’t be able to continue your stay in the Azure Dragon Country."

Ling Yu could tell that Elder Yu held a position of power and respect in the Hundred Herb Hall. So, she assumed that he was the real owner of the Hundred Herb Hall who was working behind the scenes! She did not even consider the possibility that Gu Ruoyun was the real owner. After all, Gu Ruoyun was only a little girl. In the days when the Hundred Herb Hall was built, she had yet to be born.

"Great... Just great! Haha!" Elder Yu grew angry but laughed instead. His eyes were set ablaze with a fiery flame as he said, "I’d like to see how you’re going to do it. Show me how you'll be driving me out of Azure Dragon Country!"

"I tried to warn you, but I see that you’re not going to heed my warning."

Ling Yu sneered, waved her hand, and gave an order to the people behind her, "Men! Take this old fart and bring him to the imperial concubine."

However, just as she had finished speaking, the old man’s figure suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Ling Yu…

Before Ling Yu even managed to react, Elder Yu’s palm landed fiercely on her chest, causing her entire body to fly backward and hit the ground with a loud thud. Then, a voice filled with murderous intent rang in everyone’s ears.

"Get out of my sight!!!"

The old man straightened his long sleeves with a flick of his wrist, his elderly face cold as ice.

"Cough, cough!" Ling Yu spat out two mouthfuls of blood before spitting at him while she gritted her teeth, "You old fart… Just you wait… You'll pay for this!"

She hurriedly stood up, and left, with her tail between her legs towards the direction that she had initially arrived from…


Chapter 96: An Early Stage Martial Warrior (1)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

One month later…

Within a room, the curtains fluttered as a warm spring breeze caressed the delicate cheeks of Gu Ruoyun.

Her eyes were closed as if she were asleep. Gu Ruoyun’s black tresses lightly brushed against the sides of her face in the wind; she looked serene yet mesmerizing.

Then, within the Ancient Divine Pagoda, a man stood with his hands behind his back, wearing a gilded violet robe that fluttered on its own. His matching violet eyes held traces of a smile, but his lips grew into an evil curl as he watched the young girl in front of him.

"This place... this is the second level of the Ancient Divine Pagoda. You'll receive your reward for achieving Martial Warrior here."

The second level of the Ancient Divine Pagoda… Even though Gu Ruoyun was still unaware of what the reward would be, she was sure that it would not be worse than the pill formulas from the first level…

"Is this… the pill formula for the Spirit Gathering Pill?"

The Spirit Gathering Pill was considered to be the next level of the Qi Gathering Pill. For example, someone like Elder Yu, who was stuck at the final stage of Martial General would not be able to break through to the next rank with the use of a Qi Gathering Pill. This was why she had not allowed Elder Yu to use a Qi Gathering Pill to begin with.

However, if she had Spirit Gathering Pills, it would be a completely different story. This pill was effective even for cultivators who were at the rank of Martial General. It would allow them to successfully break through to the next level.

Gu Ruoyun’s heart clenched at the mere thought of this.

Although she now had the Hundred Herb Hall and Devil Sect within her grasp, she still lacked a true expert cultivator within her ranks. If Elder Yu were to become a Martial King, they could do as they pleased within the Azure Dragon Country.

"I see that the rewards for the second level are three pill formulas, again. The Spirit Gathering Pill, Blood Replenishing Pill as well as the Spirit Recovery Pill."

Everyone knew that cultivators used their spiritual power to battle. Should their spiritual power run out, the cultivator would be in a potentially fatal situation. Hence, Spirit Recovery Pills were used to recover a cultivator’s spiritual power. Blood Replenishing Pills, on the other hand, were meant to treat wounds, as its name would suggest.

Gu Ruoyun carefully kept the pill formulas, before she smiled and said, "I was still worrying over how I could help Elder Yu achieve his breakthrough. I didn’t think that I would obtain the Spirit Gathering Pill just like that... Mmm?"

Suddenly, Gu Ruoyun could feel a disturbance coming from her drained spiritual weapon. Then, it flew quickly towards her, and floated upright in front of her…

"What’s going on, Zixie? This drained spiritual weapon has already lost all of its spiritual power, why would it…"

Zixie did not speak, his eyes fixed upon the drained spiritual weapon with a profound gaze. He remained silent for half a minute before he gave a slow reply, "Try transferring some of your own spiritual power into this drained spiritual weapon, little girl."

"Okay."

Gu Ruoyun nodded as her jade-white fingers settled on the surface of the drained spiritual weapon. She then slowly closed her eyes.

A portion of her spiritual power began to flow from her palm, slowing entering the drained spiritual weapon as it got gradually absorbed by the weapon. Suddenly, a fierce light shone from within the spiritual weapon, enveloping the entire Ancient Divine Pagoda…

"What… what’s happening?"

Gu Ruoyun was in a daze. She had no clue on what was going on.

"I see that my guess was correct," Zixie smiled, "The second level of the Ancient Divine Pagoda has given you another power, little girl — the ability to nurture weapons!"

"The ability to nurture weapons? What do you mean?" Gu Ruoyun blinked, looking bewildered as she looked at Zixie's mischievous yet charming smile.

Zixie smiled gently, "Put simply, you can now transfer spiritual power into normal weapons and turn them into spiritual weapons. Of course, the one that you have in your hands is one of the lowest ranked spiritual weapons. Your powers are currently not strong enough to upgrade it into a middle or high ranked spiritual weapon. As for legendary godly weapons, you must have the materials to forge these weapons first. However, having a real spiritual weapon right from the start will be beneficial to your future growth."
