Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Inside the Divine Pagoda, the walls were bare and only a drug tripod was placed in the center. Gu Ruoyun looked around at the empty Divine Pagoda and asked, “This is the Ancient Divine Pagoda?”
“That’s right, this is the first floor of the Ancient Divine Pagoda. With my prowess, I can only unlock this first floor. From this point onwards, you will have to break the seals by yourself…”
“What should I do?”
Gu Ruoyun stopped in her tracks, turned and looked at Zixie.
“Easy,” Zixie’s gaze was upon Gu Ruoyun’s face, he curled his lips into a faint smile, “If you can breakthrough Qi collection level eight and attain the level of Martial Warrior, then you can enter the second floor. With every floor that you breakthrough, you may obtain the object at that level.”
When she heard this, her eyes turned towards the drug tripod.
“What the first floor has given me is this drug tripod?”
“Yes,” Zixie nodded, “But, it’s not only the drug tripod. There are also some basic pill recipes.”
When he finished, he placed a few pill recipes in front of Gu Ruoyun.
“Qi Gathering Pills can help a Martial Warrior who is collecting Qi feel the Spiritual Energy around them better, helping them cultivate at five times more than their normal speed. Marrow Cleansing Pills can cleanse impurities inside the cultivator’s body, making cultivation easier! Beauty Skin Changing Pills can make an old lady in her fifties instantly regain the splendor of a twenty-year-old…”
Ignoring the last one, Gu Ruoyun was very fascinated with the first two types of Pills.
The most important part was, tens of thousands of years ago, the art of pill refining progressed massively and the number of pill refiners around was countless. However, during the Mainland War, every pill refiner was slaughtered and pill refining tomes were destroyed. As a result in the Mainland, nobody was able to refine a complete pill medicine. Even those sold in the market were powdered pill medicine.
However, those goods definitely could no longer be called pill medicine.
Needless to say, Gu Ruoyun was awed when she saw the pill recipes.
But she quickly calmed her excitement, which made Zixie look at her with surprise.
If it wasn’t for anybody else, they would’ve wanted to try it straight away.
“Although these pill recipes are precious, but I have never learned pill refining. Even if you gave me the pill recipe and the drug tripod, I reckon that I won’t be able to refine anything.”
“Girl, you are unexpectedly different from the greedy humans that I usually meet. I am getting more and more interested in you,” Zixie smiled. And with his smile, the purple flame in the middle of his brows appeared even more seductive, “I really hope that you would grow up faster so that you can warm my bed. If not, this small frame of yours will certainly stab me painfully.”
Gu Ruoyun curled the corners of her lips, she scanned Zixie from head to toe, “Even if I do grow up, but you… Can you still grow?”
Looking at the young lady’s smiling eyes, and upon reflecting upon the implied meaning of her words, the handsome face turned grave, “little girl, you are too young to be saying something like this.”
“Don’t forget, although this body is Gu Ruoyun’s, I have already lived for twenty plus years.”
“Is that so?”
Zixie’s brows arched slightly, waved his big hand and pulled Gu Ruoyun into his embrace. A subtle threat emanated from his slightly squinted eyes, “Little girl, since your soul is in its twenties, then why don’t you…… warm my bed now?”
The look on Gu Ruoyun’s face sank. She wanted to retaliate, but the man’s low and sinister laugh filled her ears.
“Too bad girl, I have no interest in bony women. They’re not comfortable when you hug them. Wait ‘till you’re fatter, then I’ll let you warm my bed.”
Bang!
When the man let his guard down, Gu Ruoyun seized the moment to turn around and threw a punch towards the man’s face. At that moment, a hand appeared in front of the man, blocking Gu Ruoyun’s punch.
“Little girl, you are so cruel.”
The man pushed aside Gu Ruoyun’s fist and smiled helplessly, “You hit me when you want to without showing mercy. However, you have been inside the Divine Pagoda for quite some time. You should leave before anyone notices your absence. When you go out, buy the materials for the Qi Collecting Pill, I will then teach you how to refine it later.”
