Chapter 209 Lend Me Two Hundred Million Immortal Jade
Gu Yan tapped the Demon Refining Pot with her finger, and a blood-red rune appeared on it. Inside, You Lian'er could no longer hear anything. Gu Yan tossed the Demon Refining Pot back into her Purple Mansion. She then bowed to Xiao Yu beside her.
"Thank you, Palace Master, for stopping You Lian'er for me."
"With this magic weapon, you can definitely catch her even without me," Xiao Yu said with a smile.
"Palace Master Xiao, I'd like you to accompany me to another place?" Gu Yan asked again.
"Where to?" Xiao Yu asked.
"The Palace of Heartbreak," Gu Yan said.
"Okay, shall we go now?"
Gu Yan looked at Xiao Yu, a little embarrassed, and said, "Before we go, could you lend me two hundred million immortal jades?"
Xiao Yu: "..."
"I owe the Palace Master of the Heartless Palace two hundred million immortal jades. Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back in the future." Gu Yan patted his chest and said. He was already a Golden Immortal now, and he refused to believe that he couldn't get two hundred million immortal jades. He didn't like being indebted to others, so he wanted to borrow money to pay off his debt first.
"Two hundred million immortal jades, I can lend them to you. But what if you don't pay it back?" Xiao Yu asked with a smile.
Gu Yan said matter-of-factly, "Then you can go ask Senior Qing Xuanzi for it."
Xiao Yu: "..."
Ask the ancestor for it? Does he even have the guts?
Xiao Yu looked at Gu Yan with amusement: "Then why don't you just ask the Ancestor for those two hundred million immortal jades?"
"I wanted to ask him for it, but I didn't have time to speak. He suddenly kicked me out of the secret realm, and I didn't even have time to say a word," Gu Yan sighed.
Looking at his flawlessly handsome face, even though he had lived for a very long time and was already detached from worldly desires, it was still difficult for Xiao Yu to refuse his request. Besides, it was only two hundred million immortal jades.
With a flick of Xiao Yu's whisk, a storage bag emitting a faint purple light appeared in front of Gu Yan, containing exactly two hundred million immortal jades.
Gu Yan scanned the storage bag with her divine sense, took it in her hand, and smiled, "Thank you, Palace Master!"

Immortal mountains floated in the sky. On the plaza of one of these immortal palaces, Zhou Ting and Xie Wan'er stood before the railing, gazing up at the heavens. Two thousand five hundred years had passed, and Zhou Ting and Xie Wan'er's appearances hadn't changed much. However, both of their cultivation levels had improved considerably, especially Zhou Ting, who had broken through from the peak of the late-stage Profound Immortal realm to the early-stage Golden Immortal realm.
"Senior Sister Zhou, Wan'er."
A voice sounded from behind Zhou Ting and Xie Wan'er. They turned around and saw Mulan, dressed in a light blue robe, walking towards them. Mulan walked to Zhou Ting's side, placed her hand on the white jade railing, and gazed into the distance with Zhou Ting and Xie Wan'er.
"The Five Elements Mountain Trial is about to begin. I wonder who will win first place this time," Mulan said with a smile.
Xie Wan'er looked at Zhou Ting: "Senior sister, you are already a Golden Immortal. Master will definitely let you go to this trial."
Zhou Ting said, "Probably, but my strength is mediocre. I only recently entered the Golden Immortal stage, so even if I went, I wouldn't get a good ranking. Senior Sister Xue Mengqi has the highest talent among us, and she's already in the late Golden Immortal stage. Perhaps she can compete with the other geniuses in the Immortal Alliance and get a good ranking for our Heartless Palace."
Xie Wan'er wasn't familiar with Xue Mengqi, and she didn't particularly like Xue Mengqi's arrogant demeanor.
Xie Wan'er gazed at the clouds in the sky, and for some reason thought of Gu Yan. She said softly, "I wonder about Young Master Gu..."
"Be careful what you say!"
Before Xie Wan'er could finish speaking, Zhou Ting covered her mouth and nervously glanced around. Mulan also nervously looked around; the surroundings were empty and deserted. Zhou Ting transmitted her voice to Xie Wan'er:
"Don't mention Young Master Gu casually. If someone overhears, we'll be in trouble."
Only after saying this did she release Xie Wan'er.
Xie Wan'er lowered her eyes, then raised them again: "I... I meant Junior Sister Lin, she... she's in the Wood Spirit Hall... Is she still in the Wood Spirit Hall?"
Zhou Ting shook her head.
Mulan frowned. Over the years, she had always thought of Gu Yan. Not only Mulan, but Zhou Ting, Xie Wan'er, and many female disciples of the Heartless Palace also missed him. But after he entered the Heartless Palace, there was no further news of him. Zhou Ting and the others had tried to inquire about Gu Yan's whereabouts from the disciples of the Wood Spirit Hall, but no one knew.
They could only pray silently that Gu Yan was safe and sound.
Suddenly, the sky shook.
A terrifying aura descended upon the entire Heartless Palace, and all the disciples looked up at the sky. There, a vast expanse of azure light surged, followed by a golden magic circle blooming within it, like a blossoming golden lotus. Two figures appeared upon this golden magic circle.
The two figures were an elderly man in a blue robe holding a whisk, and a peerless handsome young man in white.
The old man in blue robes had a kind and benevolent face. Although he was clearly old, for some reason, he possessed a powerful and vigorous life force. The young man beside him was so beautiful that it seemed to shock even the heavens. He had long, jet-black hair, skin as white as jade, and eyes like the most beautiful emeralds. Seeing his pupils was so clear that it felt as if one's soul would be purified.
The old man in blue robes exuded the aura of a Celestial King, while the peerless handsome youth in white robes possessed the strength of a late-stage Golden Immortal. Upon their appearance, the female disciples of the Heartless Palace were utterly astonished, their eyes widening in disbelief. However, their astonishment wasn't directed at the Celestial King-level old man, but rather at the peerless handsome youth in white robes.
"Th-that is..."
Mulan's eyes widened.
"Young Master Gu, it's Young Master Gu!!" Xie Wan'er exclaimed excitedly, having long forgotten about the saying "walls have ears."
Although Zhou Ting didn't say anything, she was still shocked.
The other female disciples were also extremely surprised.
Junior Sister Lin? How come this young man looks so much like Junior Sister Lin?
Could he be Lin's brother?
His meteoric rise from the early stage of True Immortal to the peak of the late stage of Golden Immortal in 2,500 years was unbelievable to most. Furthermore, given that Gu Yan had previously been dressed as a woman, and now he was revealing his true form, most people simply assumed he resembled Lin Daiyu only superficially.
What a handsome young man!
This is so beautiful!
Is it at the peak of the late Golden Immortal stage? Does the Wood Spirit Palace have such a prodigy?
The female disciples of the Heartless Palace are required to be pure and abstinent, but when faced with Gu Yan, they forget all about purity and abstinence. In just an instant, Gu Yan captured the hearts of almost all the female disciples.
As his cultivation improved, his appearance became increasingly irresistible.
Xiao Yu made such a high-profile appearance with Gu Yan, and soon Lu Huanong and her entourage also appeared.
Auspicious clouds surged in the sky, flowers rained down, and fragrance filled the air.
Then, amidst a profusion of flowers in the void, a beautiful woman in palace attire with her hair styled in a high bun appeared, followed by several beautiful female disciples.
Lu Huanong's gaze first fell on Gu Yan, then she looked coldly at Xiao Yu:
"Xiao Yu, what do you mean by this?"
