บท 74: Black Emperor City, Bodhisattva Transformation Saliva!
For the first time, Zi Yan felt so nervous as she looked into the deep, calm black eyes in front of her, trying hard to display a well-behaved smile.
Zi Yan felt nervous. Emotion value +100
"Sure, I can take you back to your clan, but on the way, you must promise to listen to me and not throw any tantrums!"
Gu Fei nodded but felt a headache thinking of how unruly Zi Yan was in the original story, so he gave her a heads-up.
Zi Yan felt guilty. Emotion value +100
Haven't I been acting really obedient? Could it be that Big Brother heard the discussions among the other students?
Feeling a bit guilty, Zi Yan weakly promised, "Don't worry, Big Brother, I'll behave."
The surrounding students in the Inner Academy looked at Zi Yan, blinking her big eyes and showing off her sharp little teeth with an innocent expression. They all showed a mixture of surprise and disbelief.
"Is the Brute Force Queen really going to turn over a new leaf?"
"You believe that? I heard that the day after she promised the Grand Elder to behave, she burned down a house!"
Of course, Zi Yan heard their whispers, and her little fists tightened inside her sleeves.
Her expression still appeared innocent, but if those fists landed on anyone, they would likely be bedridden for several days.
Gu Fei glanced at Zi Yan, his gaze indifferent.
Zi Yan felt surprised and guilty. Emotion value +100
The bit of Dou Qi that had gathered at Zi Yan's fingertips dissipated into the air. She smiled as if nothing had happened.
Big Brother's perception…is it really that sharp?
Su Qian, of course, noticed their movements. He felt his brow twitch and sighed helplessly, looking like someone long accustomed to being exasperated by Zi Yan.
"Though this girl is mischievous, she has a good heart."
Su Qian stepped forward and explained on Zi Yan's behalf.
Gu Fei wasn't sure whether to believe it or not and simply responded with a light "Hmm."
Su Qian felt hesitant. Emotion value +50
Su Qian's scrutinizing gaze fell on Gu Fei. He knew Zi Yan had always longed to understand her origins. Now, she happened to meet someone who knew about her background.
After brief contact, Su Qian felt that Gu Fei wasn't someone with bad intentions- this was his intuition. So, after confirming that Gu Fei could likely keep Zi Yan in check, he didn't oppose her going out.
After all, Zi Yan had stayed at Jia Nan Academy for far too long without ever leaving.
Seeing both Gu Fei and the Grand Elder agree, Zi Yan's little face lit up with a wide smile, and she happily jumped around.
Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin watched her openly express her emotions, both smiling as well.
Not long after, Gu Fei didn't linger much longer at Jia Nan Academy. Since the academy no longer had anything of great importance to him, once Zi Yan packed her things, they prepared to leave.
"Zi Yan, make sure to behave out there."
Su Qian, having watched over Zi Yan at the academy for so long, couldn't help but feel a bit reluctant as he patted her head.
"Grand Elder, I'll definitely come back to see you!"
Zi Yan said brightly before turning and excitedly jumping onto the broad back of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
The lion's back was furry, and Zi Yan rolled around, burying herself in the softness.
Su Qian withdrew his gaze and shook his head helplessly.
"Senior, I'll leave Zi Yan in your care."
Gu Fei nodded and then embraced Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin as they all climbed onto the lion's back.
The four of them waved goodbye, still able to see the relieved expressions in the eyes of the Inner Academy students.
Several students also gazed at Gu Fei with admiration, their hearts filled with a yearning for strength.

The lion king flapped its wings and soared into the sky. Gu Fei's gaze turned towards the distance, his eyes deep in thought.
The next destination Gu Fei planned to visit was Black Emperor City.
According to his memory, in the original story, the people of the Black Emperor Sect would auction a portion of the Bodhisattva Transformation Saliva in a few years. This treasure might already be in their possession.
The original story also mentioned that the Black Emperor Sect had researched the Bodhisattva Transformation Saliva for many years without any progress, which led them to reluctantly put it up for auction.
The Bodhisattva Transformation Saliva, in the original story, was a treasure that many Dou Ancestor experts in the Black-Corner Region fiercely fought over.
This Bodhisattva Transformation Saliva, if consumed, could transform and improve some rare human constitutions, making it quite miraculous.
Moreover, it's said that possessing the Bodhisattva Transformation Saliva could help someone sense the presence of the Bodhisattva Heart.
In some remote mountains, there exists a mystical tree called The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree. The rhizome of this tree, buried deep underground, will gradually form a thick heart-shaped item that will possess a mysterious effect. It slowly agglomerates over the years, and is known as the Bodhisattva Heart. Generally speaking, it takes at least a thousand years for the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree to form the Bodhisattva Heart. The Bodhisattva Transformation Saliva is some of the mystical substance secreted from the surface of the Heart.
As for the Heart, it is a true treasure nurtured by the essence of heaven and earth. If someone were to consume it, it's said that it could gradually replace their heart, allowing them to survive even if their heart suffers a fatal blow.
Furthermore, the strength provided by this Heart would far surpass that of the original heart. Most importantly, it continuously nurtures the soul, gradually strengthening it.
For an alchemist, this would be an irresistible temptation.
For now, Gu Fei's main goal was to gather the materials needed to improve Xiao Yi Xian's constitution. This was an essential step for the Poison Pill Method.
In the original story, Xiao Yan helped Xiao Yi Xian control her Woeful Poison Body by refining the Poison Pill, which required three key items: various types of Heavenly Flames, the magic core of a seventh-rank magical beast- the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast, and the Bodhisattva Transformation Saliva.
The journey was mostly peaceful, but Gu Fei noticed that Zi Yan seemed listless every day, as if he had mistreated her.
He sighed helplessly, then rummaged through his storage ring and finally took out a handful of pills.
"Zi Yan."
Zi Yan was curled up, bored, watching the scenery below. When she heard Gu Fei call her, she looked over with droopy eyes.
But when she saw what was in his palm, her eyes lit up—a handful of pills!
Zi Yan felt delighted. Emotion value +100
Zi Yan immediately sprang up.
"Big Brother Gu Fei, are all of these for me?"
Gu Fei nodded, then handed them all to her.
Without even looking, she tossed them into her mouth, her cheeks puffing out as she chewed.
"Slow down, no one's going to take them from you."
These were pills Gu Fei had specifically chosen with some flavor. He hadn't paid much attention to the quality, knowing that Zi Yan's strong body could digest anything that wasn't extremely toxic.
After swallowing everything, Zi Yan wiped her mouth and smiled sweetly.
"Thank you, Big Brother Gu Fei!"
Zi Yan felt grateful. Emotion value +100
Gu Fei patted Zi Yan's head, realizing that occasionally feeding this little one was actually kind of fun.
