Chapter 206 Why do you want to give me pointers?
Several months later.
The room was bright and clean. On the bed, a young man in white lay staring at the bed curtains.
How many times has he been beaten unconscious and then woken up here?
Can not remember.
Gu Yan had always been the one beating others up. Although he had suffered setbacks before, this continuous suffering and relentless beatings was unprecedented. While his cultivation had indeed advanced by leaps and bounds as a result, being humiliated like this was still incredibly infuriating.
Gu Yan sat up, wondering how long she had been in this secret realm.
He got out of bed and walked outside. The lotus pond outside had turned into a plum blossom grove, and under the plum trees, Qing Xuanzi, dressed in white, was brewing tea again. Gu Yan walked over to Qing Xuanzi and sat down opposite him.
"You woke up quite quickly this time," Qing Xuanzi chuckled.
Gu Yan stared at Qing Xuanzi's face for a long time before asking, "Senior, there's a question I've always wanted to ask you."
"What's the problem?"
"How do you know the Azure Emperor's Longevity Technique?" Gu Yan asked.
Qing Xuanzi looked at him: "Shouldn't I be the one asking you this question?"
Gu Yan was stunned.
"The Azure Emperor's Longevity Technique is a cultivation method practiced by the successive masters of the Wood Spirit Palace, and everyone in the Immortal Alliance knows it. Shouldn't I be the one asking you? Where did you learn this technique?" Qing Xuanzi said, pouring Gu Yan a cup of tea.
"My master taught me."
"Oh, I see."
Gu Yan picked up the cup of tea and took a sip. The taste hadn't changed; it was still so bitter and unpleasant to drink.
He drank it like he was taking medicine.
After finishing his drink, Gu Yan continued to stare at Qing Xuanzi's face. Qing Xuanzi had a face as beautiful as jade and a gentle temperament; from any angle, he was a handsome young man. He was completely different from the aged master he remembered.
"Senior, do you know my master, Gu Changqing?" Gu Yan couldn't help but ask this question.
"I don't know him."
"You've never heard of him either?"
"no."
"Then why did you give me guidance?" Gu Yan looked intently at Qing Xuanzi.
Although he was badly beaten, he wasn't stupid. How could someone of Qing Xuanzi's strength and status be so idle as to train a junior like him?
"Because I'm very free, and you look like you deserve a beating," Qing Xuanzi said with a smile.
Gu Yan: "..."
Could this excuse be any more flimsy?
"Do I deserve a beating? Do I look like I deserve a beating?" Gu Yan touched her cheek, which was still smooth and unharmed.
"What? Do you think everyone loves you?" Qing Xuanzi said.
"It's not that I'm narcissistic, but it's pretty close," Gu Yan said honestly. He really wasn't bragging. Hadn't he always been like this? Since his reincarnation, apart from Qing Xuanzi in front of him, who else could remain so calm after seeing his true face and beat him to death without wavering at all?
"Your appearance is indeed quite good, but do you really think you can prove your Dao based on this appearance?" Qing Xuanzi laughed.
Gu Yan: "..."
Of course, he didn't have that idea.
After arriving at the Immortal Alliance, he felt more and more that without sufficient power, this appearance would only be a burden to him.
"Senior, can I ask you for a favor?" Gu Yan asked.
"explain."
"Can you break the seal on the Purple Mansion? I don't want to use the magic treasures inside; I just want to write a letter to my parents. I use the golden toads inside to communicate with my parents and friends; I just want those golden toads." Gu Yan last wrote a letter to her parents shortly after waking up in the Palace of Heartbreak.
Gu Yan didn't want his parents and grandparents to worry about him, so he hadn't told them the truth. Jiang Shunhua and the others didn't know that Gu Yan had run away from Yunlan Realm; they still thought he was on Yuntian Continent.
"The golden toad...you mean this?"
Qing Xuanzi raised his left hand, and golden light shimmered in his palm, revealing a golden toad statue floating above it.
"Yes, yes, yes."
Gu Yan was overjoyed when she saw it.
Qing Xuanzi said with a smile:
"You use this to contact your parents?"
"Yes, senior, I just want to tell my parents that I'm going to start cultivating and may not have time to reply for a long time. I just want to let them know I'm safe and sound," Gu Yan said sincerely.
"What a filial child! But..."
Qing Xuanzi suddenly took the golden toad away:
"turn down!"
Gu Yan: "...?"
His request isn't unreasonable, is it?
"Why should I be so considerate in fulfilling your filial piety? If you don't want your parents to worry, find a way to break the seal on your Purple Mansion yourself, or..."
Qing Xuanzi's lips curled into a smile, and golden light flashed again on his left hand. A golden toad statue shrunk to the size of a fist and was held in his hand. He looked at Gu Yan, his eyes filled with the teasing mockery of someone playing with a child.
"Come and take it then."
Gu Yan: "..."
What a wicked fellow! His master was kind and gentle; how could he be such a wicked person?
Gu Yan gritted his teeth in frustration, then suddenly reached out to grab the golden toad from Qing Xuanzi's hand, trying to snatch it away. He tried to grab it with his left hand, but Qing Xuanzi blocked it with his right. Gu Yan clenched his left fist and punched towards Qing Xuanzi's chest. Qing Xuanzi pushed out with his palm, and Gu Yan's fist slammed into his palm, almost sending him flying.
With a series of thumping sounds, under the plum blossom tree, the peerless handsome young man in white and the dashing man in white began to spar.
In just a few moves, the peerless handsome young man in white was sent flying.
Gu Yan flew dozens of feet away, staggering back several steps as her feet stomped on the ground, leaving cracks in the ground beneath her feet.
A subtle fragrance wafted through the air, and specks of red plum blossoms, carrying a chilling killing intent, fell from the branches, rushing towards Gu Yan like a red tide.
Gu Yan glanced at the air, grabbed at the air, and his immortal power condensed into a longsword. Holding the sword, sword energy burst forth from his body, and a yin-yang fish formation appeared beneath his feet, with the yin and yang energies flowing endlessly.
The black and white sword energy, like two raging dragons, roared forward, shattering the tide of red plum petals into dust.
Gu Yan pointed her finger, and sword energy, like a rainbow, roared towards Qing Xuanzi.
Wherever the sword energy passed, space collapsed into fragments, which were then swept into the torrent of sword energy. Qing Xuanzi, dressed in snow-white robes, stood in place, like a transcendent saint, his face still bearing a warm smile. With a mere flick of his sleeve, the oncoming sword energy was redirected back towards Gu Yan. Two colossal dragons, one black and one white, coiled together and pounced upon Gu Yan.
Gu Yan was startled and quickly reappeared. A vast sword aura erupted from his blade, causing the entire secret realm to collapse continuously.
Boom—
With a deafening roar, the secret realm completely collapsed, and sword energy surged outwards, creating astonishing waves in the void.
Gu Yan tensed up and looked around.
Qing Xuanzi has disappeared. Every time this guy disappears from sight, it's terrifying.
Where is he?
Inspiration told him to the left.
He thrust his sword sharply to the left, but it was too slow. A streak of green light pierced through Gu Yan's body, creating a bloody hole in his chest...
