Primordial Qi

Chapter 215 Embarrassment

Zhou Youwei, who was sitting in the upper seat, covered her mouth and chuckled. The young people in front of her were really naive. She injected a trace of spiritual power, and the pill suddenly released terrifying power, causing the entire Qingming Sect to change color.

Xiao Tian's pupils were filled with shock. This turned out to be an eighth-grade elixir. He just didn't know what its uses were.

"This elixir is not common. It was originally a ninth-grade elixir, but because its effect is not as good as an ordinary ninth-grade elixir, it was downgraded to an eighth-grade elixir." Zhou You said with a smile, still liking to keep people in suspense and not tell the whole story.

Lin Xiu took a glance at it. He was not interested in this thing and his expression did not change at all. Xiao Tian was speculating about the effect of the pill. As a pharmacist, he was still interested in it.

Gu Chenyu's pupils shrank. Why did this thing look a bit like his golden elixir?

Seeing that the three people had different expressions, but no one asked, the air was inevitably filled with awkwardness. Wang Xuanzhi immediately came out to smooth things over, and asked with a curious look on his face: "May I ask what this thing is, Your Highness, and it is so extraordinary."

Zhou Youwei had no choice but to take over the conversation and said to himself: "This thing is far superior to the Heavenly Five Elements Pill. It was called the Innate Five Elements Holy Pill in the past and ranked ninth. Taking this pill can forge a Five Elements Holy Body that can be cultivated."

Gu Chenyu laughed wildly in his heart. He remembered the Five Elements Supreme who had deceived an entire era. Not only did he cheat in the Dawu Dynasty, he also went to the Daqian Dynasty and deceived the cultivators into continuously cultivating the Five Elements spiritual roots.

Those five-element spiritual root cultivators were fed to the king realm by the dynasty, and the resources consumed were enough to create ten king realm cultivators. Although the five-element spiritual root cultivators could indeed fight three to one at the same level, the effort and reward were obviously not proportional, resulting in the lack of high-end combat power in the Daqian Dynasty at that time. The King of Zhenbei took the opportunity to swallow up a continent and had the notorious name of the butcher.

One continent and three dynasties is equivalent to that guy destroying three dynasties by himself. His record is already the highest at present, second only to the founding fathers.

The pill in front of me was probably produced at that time. It goes without saying that the effect of this thing must be mediocre.

"May I ask what the raw materials of this medicine are..." Xiao Tian asked curiously.

Zhou Youwei breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally managed to arouse a little bit of their interest. Otherwise, there would be no way to win over these three to work for him.

"I don't know the raw materials of this item, but I can tell you about its effects. In addition to being able to forge a five-element holy body, its greatest effect is to help one reach the peak of the monarch realm in one step after overcoming the monarch calamity."

There was shock in Xiao Tian and Lin Xiu's eyes. If that was the case, then this really was a good thing. After taking one pill, it would only be a matter of time before one could enter the realm of a king or a prince. This effect was too incredible.

After these words were spoken, there was no change on Gu Chenyu's face. He originally had five elements spiritual roots, so his cultivation speed was not fast. He had to consume a lot of resources to enter a higher realm.

Although this elixir can reach the peak of the monarch realm in one step, the resources that will be consumed in the future will inevitably be an astronomical figure, at least the entire Qingming Sect cannot afford it.

"I still say the same thing. Your Highness, if you have something to say, just speak up. Be straightforward and speak directly. If you want me to work for you without knowing why in exchange for a pill, that's really not good enough."

Gu Chenyu didn't want to expose the princess's embarrassment. The most valuable thing in her hand was probably this pill. He didn't want to be someone's younger brother, so he was a little rude.

"How dare you! This is His Highness, how can you be so rude!" Lin Yuanya scolded harshly. After all, this person was a child of the royal family, and a monk who was disrespectful would easily be wiped out by the royal family.

Zhou Youwei shook her head. She didn't care about Gu Chenyu's rudeness. Instead, she asked Lin Yuanya and Wang Xuanzhi to leave. She wanted to talk to the three of them alone.

"Don't just stand there, take a seat and we can talk slowly."

Gu Chenyu sighed inwardly. It looked like this would be a protracted battle. They had to make this woman tell them what she really thought, otherwise they would all fall into the trap.

Until dark, the three of them did not show any intention of serving her, which made her feel frustrated. Zhou Youwei's palms were sweating, not because she was afraid of the three people in front of her, but because she was afraid of what would happen in the future.

"Your Highness, the sect master has prepared a dinner. Please move to the outer hall and have a drink with the sect disciples." Wang Xuanzhi walked in and said with a smile. There were tiny beads of sweat on his forehead. It was better for people of the royal family to avoid getting involved in cause and effect.

"Your Highness, the three of us brothers don't have big ambitions in our hearts. We have already guessed the purpose of your coming. The battle for the throne among princes has always been brutal since ancient times. If the forces involved are not careful, they will be punished later, or even their entire family will be executed. The dynasty is complicated, and we are not experienced in the world. We really don't want to wade into this muddy water."

"Your Highness is a woman. There has never been a female emperor since ancient times. Please let us leave."

Gu Chenyu stood up, followed by Xiao Tian and Lin Xiu. The three of them saluted with fists and then left.

Zhou Youwei's expression darkened. She couldn't even invite three geniuses, so how could she sit in that position? Seeing the three of them leave, Zhou Youwei's eyes were misty and secretly red.

She was only eighteen years old, the last daughter of Emperor Dawu. If she had not breathed in the imperial dragon energy when she was born, she would have had to embark on the battle for the throne. Otherwise, she would not have been willing to get involved in this mess. However, being born in an imperial family, she had no choice.

A hunched figure appeared from the void. It was an old maid in palace dress. She gently patted Zhou Youwei's shoulder and comforted him softly, "Your Highness, there is no need to be like this. It is normal for the road of cultivation to be bumpy. Not everything is smooth sailing. These three are unwilling to participate in the struggle between the royal families. The other princes probably can't be moved, so it's not a bad thing."

"Madame Wang, I'm so scared. Those brothers want to kill me and take away my imperial dragon energy. I'm not favored by my father in the palace. I... I don't know if I can survive."

Nanny Wang gently patted her back. She had lived for thousands of years, but she didn't know how to comfort this girl. Born in an imperial family and protected by the imperial dragon energy, the fight for the throne must be a stepping stone for others...

"Brother, it looks like Dawu is really going to be in chaos. The north is watching covetously, and there is a struggle for succession. The Daqian Dynasty will definitely take advantage of the struggle to send troops south. At that time..."

Xiao Tian didn't dare to think further. The situation was about to change and they, the geniuses, might be involved in big trouble.

"Well, the whole Nanzhou knows that the Qingming Sect has produced three young celestial beings. It will be hard for us not to be targeted." Lin Xiu sighed. He could see the current situation and it would be difficult to avoid it.

"At worst, I can stay in seclusion for a thousand years. By then, the fight for the throne will be over and we will be in Nanzhou. The Daqian Dynasty may not be able to attack us, so we can avoid the consequences this time."

"You're thinking too simply. You should go back and practice hard. Only when you have enough practice, can you control your own destiny."

The three of them returned to Wanqiu Peak and did not even attend the dinner. The feeling of being targeted was not very good. They had their own opportunities, and practicing steadily would at most waste some time. However, if they participated in the fight for the throne, they could die if they were not careful. The consequences were too great to handle, so they naturally ignored it.

"Xue'er."

Gu Chenyu called out, and Gu Qingxue immediately jumped happily into Gu Chenyu's arms. She said happily, "I grew a little taller today, hehe."

"Xue'er is awesome. Eat well and wait for you to grow up and become beautiful. You will definitely be a great beauty in the future."

"whee."

Gu Qingxue smiled happily, her mind gradually matured, like a child who was growing and developing again.

After coaxing Gu Qingxue, she could only sleep peacefully in Gu Chenyu's arms. She didn't know why, but she was particularly dependent on Gu Chenyu and always felt at ease with him.
