287: Chapter 287 Fairy Qing: If Hua Jin can't handle it, should we send Hua Yu?

"Thank you, Senior Fairy Qing, for bestowing this new title upon me. I certainly won't let you down." Gu Han's lips curled slightly as he accepted with a light chuckle.

Fairy Qing immediately looked at this young man's thick skin in a new light, but she also felt that the nickname she had come up with was quite good.

"Everything you say is right." Fairy Qing raised her hand to bring out a wine flask, then retrieved two wine cups and began to pour: "I'll reward you with two cups of Myriad Flower Brew."

Myriad Flower Brew was a specialty of the Flower Sect. It wasn't just a general name; it was a top-tier vintage made by extracting the essence of tens of thousands of fresh flowers, combined with a secret method and powerful natural spiritual flowers, then aged for sixty, a hundred and twenty, or even a hundred and eighty years.

Slightly inferior to the Myriad Flower Brew were the Thousand Flower Brew and Hundred Flower Brew. Among them, the Hundred Flower Brew had dozens of combinations, and its effects were comparable to many fourth-grade or fifth-grade pills, but it was even rarer than Medicinal Pills, primarily because it required time to ferment.

There was only one type of Myriad Flower Brew. Once consumed, it could enhance Soul Power, nourish the Meridians and physique, and increase cultivation.

Only those whose cultivation had reached the Dou Zun level or a Peak Rank 7 Demonic Beast could consume it; otherwise, at best, the effects would be wasted, and at worst, one's body would explode and result in death.

Consuming this cup of Myriad Flower Brew would be enough to significantly enhance Gu Han's Early Stage Heaven Realm Soul and allow him to find a place to break through to Two-Star Dou Zun.

Looking at the wine cups flying toward him and Yun Yun, Gu Han's eyes flickered, and he said unceremoniously, "Senior, I have five other Dao Companions. Why don't you give me five more cups?"

Fairy Qing: ?

Hua Yu: ?!?

Hua Jin: !!!

"Heh, I couldn't tell, but you're quite the passionate man," Fairy Qing said with a hint of teasing.

In truth, she was quite surprised that Gu Han only had a few women; it gave her a rather contradictory feeling.

The number of women—or rather, Dao Companions—was also a symbol of a powerful person.

On the Fighting Qi Continent, the powerful either had no Dao Companions, or they had countless ones, with only a very small minority having just one or two.

The logic was easy to explain. Those with no Dao Companions were because the cultivator was focused solely on becoming stronger, possessing a firm heart of the strong, with their Yang or Yin essence locked away, so they naturally wouldn't seek a partner.

Countless Dao Companions were even easier to explain. Regardless of gender, if one was powerful and had already broken their abstinence, having a desire for romance or Dual Cultivation, they would naturally have multiple Dao Companions—whether for benefit, for love, or even because they fell for every person they saw.

Finally, those with only one or two Dao Companions were the type who valued emotions more and had no special pursuit of romance, but happened to fall for a specific person of the opposite sex and felt they were a good match.

When she saw Yun Yun, Fairy Qing had thought Gu Han was this last type.

She hadn't expected that he was none of the three.

With only six Dao Companions, given the talent, strength, appearance, and temperament Gu Han displayed, one could say he was very restrained.

But to say he was purely devoted was also impossible; it could only be said that he was passionate but not heartless.

He wasn't the type to love one, then see another and forget the first.

"Affection arises from unknown origins and runs deep. It's just that there are more women I care about than the average man, and I'm not that fickle," Gu Han smiled calmly, feeling no shame.

"So, you're saying you treat every one of your Dao Companions very well?" Fairy Qing found Gu Han quite a curiosity.

"He is indeed very good to us." Yun Yun felt that this question shouldn't be answered by Gu Han himself, so she spoke up: "Three and a half years ago, I was only a Four-Star Dou Huang. Because of Gu Han, I am now a One-Star Dou Zun."

Yun Potian: Ah, right, right, right, my Legacy is all thanks to Gu Han.

"Cai Li, the Queen of the Snake-People Tribe in the Tagor Desert of the Northwest Continent, was stuck at Peak Dou Huang for many years. Now she has evolved into a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, and her strength is only one step away from Dou Zun."

"Cai Die, if she hadn't met Gu Han, she would have been devoured by Cai Li. Now she has become a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python and is only half a step away from Dou Zun."

"Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin were only Dou Practitioners before they met Gu Han; now they are both Dou Zong."

"He is indeed very good to us, and he doesn't have a massive harem of wives and concubines."

As she spoke, Yun Yun gave Gu Han a look full of deep affection.

The three generations of Grandmasters and disciples of the Flower Sect present: "..."

Why did it suddenly feel like they were being stuffed with dog food?

"You said that three and a half years ago, you were still a Four-Star Dou Huang!?" Fairy Qing looked at Yun Yun in astonishment.

She could clearly feel that Yun Yun's cultivation was extremely stable, her physique was stronger than a typical One-Star Dou Zun, and her Soul Realm had reached the Spiritual Realm, having condensed a Sword Intent that was very well-suited for combat.

This was actually raised from Dou Huang within three and a half years!?

"Yes, Senior." Yun Yun nodded with a smile, her sharp edge showing: "A Sword Cultivator would rather break than bend and does not lie. Actually, a performance like mine is nothing much."

"There's someone who performed even better than you?" Hua Jin felt her teeth ache. It had taken her a full ten years to go from Dou Huang to Dou Zun!

Even so, she was a famous Prodigy on the Fighting Qi Continent.

"My husband," Yun Yun said, becoming radiant and full of pride, "Three and a half years ago, he had only just broken through to Dou Practitioner."

Fairy Qing and the other two: ???

Is something wrong with our ears?

"My husband isn't even nineteen years old this year," Yun Yun said somewhat shyly.

She could be considered an older woman snatching a young man, but she had snatched him very well.

"What!?"

Fairy Qing and the other two were completely shocked.

A peerless Prodigy who went from Dou Practitioner to Dou Zun in three and a half years of cultivation and was not even nineteen years old?

"How is that possible!" Fairy Qing teleported in front of Gu Han and reached out to grab his wrist.

A strange Qi surged into Gu Han's body to sense his bone age.

"It's actually true!" Fairy Qing's voice was horrified. "Your bone age is less than twenty. Unless you've practiced a special secret method to regain youth or a masking technique—no, you have no reason to do that."

"You couldn't be the Reincarnation of an ancient Dou Sheng powerhouse, could you?"

Such things did happen, though they were extremely rare.

"No, I'm just good at seizing opportunities." Gu Han smiled calmly and pulled his hand back. "Didn't you say it yourself, Senior? I am Young Master Tianji."

Fairy Qing: "..."

At this moment, the gaze of the three women toward Gu Han carried a sense of the inexplicable.

Actually, saying he was the Reincarnation of an ancient Dou Sheng was an understatement; they felt Gu Han was the Reincarnation of a Dou Di.

Simply because Gu Han's Soul had reached the Heaven Realm. Forget the top factions of the Central Plains; even the Dou Sheng seeds and core members of those ancient Emperor Clans were not this monstrous.

At the Early Stage Heaven Realm, even the combat power of the Soul alone was comparable to a Seven-Star Dou Zun to a Peak Two-Change Dou Zun.

At the Middle Stage Heaven Realm, the pure Soul combat power was comparable to a Three-Change to Peak Nine-Change Dou Zun, and if one's own cultivation was high, they could even clash with an Elementary Semi-Saint.

At the Late Stage Heaven Realm, pure Soul Power combat power was comparable to a Semi-Saint powerhouse, and reaching the half-step Great Perfection would even allow one to contend with a One-Star Dou Sheng.

If one reached the Great Perfection of the Heaven Realm, pure Soul combat power would not be inferior to a Two-Star Dou Sheng. By mastering powerful Heaven Rank Soul Techniques, they could even handle some weak Three-Star Dou Shengs.

And this was just pure Soul combat power. The cultivation of someone with a powerful Soul would naturally grow to a certain height, complementing each other.

In short, Gu Han would have no Bottleneck in reaching the Peak Dou Zun level. When the time came to seek a Middle Stage Heaven Realm Soul, his limit would be enough to clash with a Semi-Saint!

If he took it a step further to the Late Stage Heaven Realm, he could clash with or even suppress Fairy Qing.

"Terrifying. Even the ancient geniuses recorded in the classics who became Emperors were probably only at this level."

Fairy Qing's eyes were burning. Was the Flower Sect encountering a young Dou Di?

At the very least, a young Four-Star Dou Sheng was a certainty, with a chance to reach Five-Star or above.

The jump from Four-Star to Five-Star Dou Sheng was a threshold even harder than moving from Peak Dou Zong to Semi-Saint.

Since they had met him, they had to seize the Opportunity.

Hua Jin clearly admired Gu Han; she could let her give it a try.

No, Hua Jin couldn't handle it. Should she let Hua Yu try after she recovered?

Whether in terms of appearance, cultivation talent, or strength after recovery, Hua Jin couldn't compare to Hua Yu.

If all else failed...
