Chapter 79: Taking Little Fairy Doctor Back to Yunlan Sect to Recognize Her Ancestors

Gu He held Xiao Yi Xian's hand, and they walked out of the icy cave side by side.

As soon as the Seal on the cave was broken, Qing Lin saw the two of them. She quickly hopped down from the large rock and looked at Xiao Yi Xian with a smile.

"Sister, absorbing the Beast Fire took such a long time! After the Fusion of the flames, does your body feel anything special?"

Xiao Yi Xian shook her head reservedly, feeling fortunate that she had come out early.

Wuwuwu, she felt so shy in front of Qing Lin!

"Hmm? Why are your cheeks so red, Sister?" Qing Lin asked in confusion.

Xiao Yi Xian's little face flushed red. "It's the heat."

Qing Lin looked at her own thick, bundled-up cloak, feeling puzzled, but then she suddenly understood:

Sister Xian is an Alchemist, so it must be that the Beast Fire she just absorbed resonated with her fire-attribute Qi, causing her cheeks to burn red!

Just like a ripe fruit!

Gu He smiled and asked Qing Lin what she had gained. Qing Lin took out two whole Magic Cores and presented them to Gu He like a treasure.

Gu He naturally refused; he wasn't lacking any.

Qing Lin stammered, "Please accept them, my Lord. It would be nice if you could make a bracelet for Qing Lin..."

Xiao Yi Xian also spoke up for Qing Lin, "Little Qing Lin lacks a sense of security. Only if you accept her gift will she feel at ease."

Gu He understood now. He pinched the baby fat on Qing Lin's cheeks and put the Magic Cores into his storage ring.

"Alright, I accept them. Once I have collected more later, I will craft a bracelet for you that can protect your heart meridian."

"Mm-hmm!" Qing Lin nodded, her star-like eyes filled with excitement and trust.

The flush on Xiao Yi Xian's cheeks had not yet faded. Her hand was still gripping Gu He's large palm, secretly drawing circles on it.

She looked very playful and cute.

"Let's head back," Gu He said.

Xiao Yi Xian said shyly, "Going home." She glanced at Qing Lin and quickly turned her head away.

Gu He helplessly held Xiao Yi Xian's fingertips in return and explained seriously,

"It's not going home, it's going to the Cloud Mist Sect."

Xiao Yi Xian tilted her neck in surprise, "Ah?"

Gu He let go of Xiao Yi Xian's hand and instead wrapped his arms around both of them,

"Don't you two want to go see my Sect?"

"And you, Xian'er, you are my Personal Disciple. Because of some reasons before, I didn't take you to the Cloud Mist Sect. Now that I have time, I must make up for that regret."

Xiao Yi Xian's heart stirred. Her white hair fluttered slightly, and she nodded.

"Okay!"

"What about you, Qing Lin?" Gu He asked her seriously.

Qing Lin was slightly stunned, "Can I go to the Cloud Mist Sect too?"

When she used to live on the edge of the desert, she had heard of the Cloud Mist Sect, this great Sect.

Back then, she wasn't even a Dou Practitioner, so naturally, she felt both fear and longing for this behemoth that every cultivator dreamed of joining.

And now, Gu He had reached out his hand to her...!

"Qing Lin is going!"

Qing Lin's smile was brilliant, filled with the light of a little sun.

...

The three of them returned to the Cloud Mist Sect together.

The Flying Beast swept over the thousand-layered stairs, passed through the thin clouds and mist, and landed on the flight plaza.

A large lotus pattern was carved into the stone tiles of the plaza, with the lotus stamen filled with crushed stones.

Yun Yun had been standing on the plaza for a long time waiting for Gu He.

As soon as Gu He got off the Flying Beast, Yun Yun walked over with steps as graceful as a lotus blooming with every stride.

She was wearing a water-blue casual outfit, with a white jade exquisite pendant tied around her waist. As she walked, it emitted crisp sounds, like ripples of a lotus song.

"You're back? Who are these two..."

Gu He introduced them one by one.

Xiao Yi Xian spoke first, "Greetings, Sect Leader Yun~"

Qing Lin tugged at the corner of Xiao Yi Xian's clothes and followed suit, calling out.

Yun Yun looked at Gu He with a helpless expression, "You've taken her as a Disciple for three years, and I'm only finding out about this now."

Gu He smiled, "My Disciple is quite stubborn. She refused to come to the Sect with me until she reached the Rank of Fourth-Grade Alchemist."

Xiao Yi Xian pouted behind him.

You didn't suggest it yourself, so how could I enter the Sect with you?

Should a girl have to be the one to bring it up?

Bad Gu He, big idiot Master!

"A Fourth-Grade Alchemist?"

Yun Yun's beautiful eyes widened in surprise. Shock and joy surfaced on her face at the same time, like beautiful colors added to a colorful cloud.

"Gu He, your Disciples are truly all outstanding." Yun Yun punched Gu He lightly.

Her pink fist carried a playful smile.

After Gu He refined the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill in the Cloud Mist Sect, the news quietly spread throughout the Jia Ma Empire within a month. It was unclear which Sect Disciple had let it slip.

But this had no negative impact on Gu He; on the contrary, it made his reputation grow even stronger.

When he was at the Dou Wang Rank, he was honored as the pill king, and now he was the Pill Emperor of the Jia Ma Empire.

A Seventh-Grade Pill Emperor!

And this Alchemist, her man, had easily taught a second Fourth-Grade Alchemist Disciple.

Yun Yun was naturally proud of him, her cold and dignified face filled with a radiant smile.

"Yes!" Xiao Yi Xian nodded. As her Dou Qi enveloped her, she donned the cloak of a Fourth-Grade Alchemist.

On the left chest of the cloak, the pattern of a Fourth-Grade Alchemist's Cauldron was clearly sewn, and the stars on it were shining brightly.

Xiao Yi Xian felt a bit proud and honored; she could finally become someone who could represent her Master!

Suddenly, a sharp male voice came from nearby.

"Master! You've returned to the Sect?!"

Liu Ling, wearing his Disciple attire, came running over like the wind.

Through hard work, he was now a Three-Star Dou Ling, and he couldn't wait to tell Gu He.

"Eh? Who is this...?" Liu Ling asked in confusion.

Gu He introduced her to him, "This is your Junior Sister, my Personal Disciple, Xiao Yi Xian."

"Xian'er, this is Liu Ling, your Senior Brother."

Liu Ling's face stiffened, as if it had been painted with a layer of white lacquer.

"My... Junior Sister?"

"How did I suddenly get a Junior Sister?"

"It's not sudden. She has been your Junior Sister for three years. It's just that I hadn't brought her back to the Sect, letting her gain experience outside. And don't underestimate Xiao Yi Xian; she is already a Fourth-Grade Alchemist, just like you."

Liu Ling's face turned even paler, his dark eyes filled with seven parts disbelief.

He had always thought he was Gu He's only Disciple, the only one who could receive his true teachings and inherit his legacy. But now, a little Junior Sister had popped up.

The Alchemist tournament back then had helped him improve a lot, but his impatient nature still couldn't be erased. He immediately wanted to compete with this new Junior Sister.

"Xiao Yi Xian, right? I am your Senior Brother. As the saying goes, one makes friends through fighting. Would you like to spar with me, Junior Sister?"

Xiao Yi Xian looked at Liu Ling, who was as thin as a monkey, and frowned.

Why does Master's chief Disciple look so unreliable?

"How do you want to spar?" Xiao Yi Xian had never been afraid in this regard.

Liu Ling summoned his Dou Qi armor, covering his body. "We are both Fourth-Grade Alchemists, and I have more experience than you. If we compare Alchemy, it certainly wouldn't be fair, so I want to compare Dou Techniques with you—!"

Xiao Yi Xian scoffed, her laughter ringing like a bell.

"Alright!" she said.

Liu Ling took a step forward, full of confidence, not forgetting to ask Gu He, "Master, do you allow me to spar with my Junior Sister? I will stop at the appropriate point."

Gu He looked at his confident appearance and couldn't bear to discourage him.

"Go ahead, but remember, stop at the appropriate point."

Gu He's gaze swept over Liu Ling intentionally or unintentionally, then looked at Xiao Yi Xian's pretty little face, which carried a cunning smile—ethereal yet mischievous.
