C98 (2/2)

Although the Jiuhua Hall had a lot of books, the content that was related to cultivators was still too little.

Her journey on the path of cultivation was too short, and she did not understand a lot of things. Compared to the disciples from the famous sects, she was still lacking in knowledge and experience.

”I wonder how Jiu Tian Xue is doing right now. Star God Pagoda, I definitely cannot miss this chance.”

It was just as Qin Zheng had said, his foundation was simply too robust. She had a faint feeling that if she wanted to break through to the Starer, the amount of spirit energy he needed would be at least ten times more than the amount she needed to break through to the twelfth level of coagulation field back then.

When she had broken through the coagulation field, she had relied on the courage of the Seven-coloured Purgatory Python. Now, she was thinking about that kind of treasure.

In that case, spirit stones and pills were the best solution, and there weren't any hidden dangers.

… ….

After resting for the entire afternoon and giving the plant heart s to the glazed palace lamp and consoling the lotus seed between her brows, she finally left the Jiuhua Hall and headed towards the Gongquan.

Looking for the Heavenly Flame would take a lot of time, so she felt that it was necessary to greet the little boy from Gongquan.

Gongquan was just like how it was in the past, a desolate feeling permeated through the tranquility, the little boy was still tirelessly cultivating in the courtyard.

Sensing that Jiu Mu Li had arrived, the little boy's indifferent expression slightly relaxed, and she nodded towards Jiu Mu Li.

Seeing him like that, Jiu Mu Li heaved a sigh of relief, she was worried that Qin Zheng's sudden intrusion the last time would cause the two of them to feel awkward, but now, it seemed like she was overthinking it.

The little boy was silent for a moment. He frowned and asked, ”Is it something important?”

”Un, the Star God Pagoda is about to open. I have a spot, I want to hurry and level up.” Jiu Mu Li nodded. She did not mention the matter of her search for the 'Heavenly Flame', mainly because she did not want to attract too much attention.

It was not a good thing for her to be too weak and too dazzling. The consequences of being too weak were even more unimaginable in the world of cultivators.

”This time, I want to help you remove the blood curse.”

”Alright.”

As the little boy spoke, he sat down very straightforwardly.

Since the other party had the mentality of an adult, Jiu Mu Li was not surprised. She immediately started the needling.

Just like last time, she was still extremely focused. Furthermore, after the last time with the needling, the blood curse on the little boy's body had not only not worsened, it had even improved.

After spending over two hours on the needles, although Jiu Mu Li was still exhausted, but it was much better than last time. At least she still had some energy left in him.

The little boy also felt that it was good, and his body expanded without any hesitation, becoming young again. He looked at Jiu Mu Li silently, and finally said: ”Ye Ke Wu!”

The voice was magnetic, and even though it was still icy cold, giving off a sense of estrangement, it had a more stable air to it than when he was a boy.

This was the first time Jiu Mu Li heard the other party speak under the appearance of a young man, and she was momentarily stunned.

”Ye Ke Wu, what a strange name.”

Very quickly, Jiu Mu Li felt that this name was too strange, not only that it wasn't Qin, it probably wasn't part of the imperial family's identity, but since that was the case, how could she monopolize the entire Gongquan?

Jiu Mu Li was full of doubts, but she tactfully did not ask. She had already delayed for too long, so in order to not cause trouble for the other party, she said ”take care” and left.

When Jiu Mu Li returned, she did not appear, nor did she give her any face. This made her heave a sigh of relief, and when she returned to her room, she called Bai Qing over and said: ”Bai Qing, I'm going out tomorrow, and I'll be back in a month. During this period of time, you try my best not to go out.”

”Ah, young miss, where are you going? Is Your Highness letting you go?” Bai Qing was shocked.

”It's fine, he's coming with me, he wants to go to Sea of Nine Serenities, I'm not back yet, just try not to go out, if there's anything you need help with, Director Chen can help out.”

Jiu Mu Li did not elaborate, but it was rare that Bai Qing had accompanied her for such a long time. She had enemies in the palace now, and if she was caught by the imperial concubine, she would be dead for sure. Furthermore, the closer the Star God Pagoda opened, the more talented people in the palace would return.

”I understand.” Seeing that Qin Zheng had also followed along, Bai Qing did not say much. After all, Qin Zheng's strength was comparable to the Three Great Sects' Sect Leaders, and was sufficient to ensure Jiu Mu Li's safety.

After Jiu Mu Li finished giving out instructions, she gave some more instructions to the Director Chen before finally resting. She was already very tired from suppressing the blood curse on Ye Ke Wu, so she did not continue cultivating.

She already had the talent to walk the Pharmacist's path, and would never shrink from it. This was an opportunity for her to rise to prominence, and the most important factor for her to surpass everyone else.

In Mystical Mystery Master, where the alchemists were gathered, there was a great path to heaven waiting for her.

Early in the morning on the second day, when Jiu Mu Li woke up, she was already waiting.
