35: Wanfa Pavilion's suspicion

"What is Junior Brother Changge thinking?" Xuan Yangzi asked curiously.

"I saw your eyes wandering just now. Could it be that you're also worried about the Burning Heaven Palace situation?"

Gu Changge took a shallow sip of tea, his tone calm and unruffled: "Nothing. I was just thinking that the Burning Heaven Palace, having suffered such a great loss, probably won't let it go easily."

Shi Wanshan chimed in from the side.

"Who says it isn't so? I heard that old man Lie Tianxiong is the most vengeful. This time he lost a Cave Heaven Realm Protector and a mineral vein. He might be brewing some sinister plot."

As they were talking, the communication jade slip in Xuan Yangzi's sleeve subtly warmed. He touched it with his fingertip, noticed the content, and his eyebrows slightly raised before returning to normal.

He picked up a spoon, scooped a large mouthful of spiritual rice porridge, and smacked his lips, saying, "Whatever sinister plot he has, filling our stomachs first is the proper business."

Everyone ate and chatted. The beef in the clay pot was gone in a flash, and only the bottom of the spiritual rice porridge pot remained. Finally, even the soup was mixed with spiritual fruits by Xuan Yangzi and eaten clean.

Shi Jingxian and Lin Mochen held their empty bowls, their faces still flushed with satisfaction, and the spiritual power in their bodies was still slowly circulating.

As Gu Changge cleared the dishes, he casually brewed a pot of enlightenment tea.

As soon as the tea was poured into the cups, Dao Rhyme wafted out from the swirling white mist. Shi Jingxian and Lin Mochen took a sip.

Suddenly, they both closed their eyes simultaneously, and the Spiritual Qi around them violently boiled, entering a state of Epiphany.

Gu Changge then repeated the trick, using the remaining half of the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill and Innate Spirit Marrow to solidify their foundations.

When the two opened their eyes again, a lustrous sheen had appeared in their eyes.

Their spiritual power had condensed to the Peak Core Formation Realm; they only needed a few days of precipitation to Breakthrough to the Purple Mansion Realm.

"Thank you, Martial Uncle Gu!"

The two bowed in unison, their voices full of gratitude.

Their original Heaven-Grade Aptitude had transformed into a brilliant King Realm Aptitude.

This scene left Xuan Yangzi and Shi Wanshan dumbfounded.

Gu Changge actually possessed such means. The way the two looked at him instantly became fervent, as if they wanted to devour him alive.

This was about improving Aptitude, which concerned a Cultivator's future achievements.

Xuan Yangzi had seen the Aptitude improvement of his two Disciples before, so he was somewhat mentally prepared.

But Shi Wanshan was truly stunned, looking at his two Disciples with disbelief, his lips mumbling, unable to speak for a long time.

Xuan Yangzi also stared directly at Gu Changge, but his thoughts had drifted far away.

If Aptitude could truly be improved in batches, wouldn't the Azure Profound Sect prosper in the future?

Not to mention dominating the Xuan Domain, they might even be able to contend for the position of a Holy Land.

Gu Changge felt uncomfortable under their fervent gazes and frowned.

"Don't look at me like that. I only had one Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, and now there's only a little bit left. As for the Innate Spirit Marrow, I only had less than ten drops, and now there's not much left. I still need to save it to nourish my Disciple's body."

At this moment, Xuan Yangzi also came back to his senses. Such a divine item was indeed rare.

If it could truly be obtained in batches, that would be too Heaven-Defying.

It was already rare for Changge to have such treasures and share them with other Disciples.

He rubbed his hands and chuckled, "Junior Brother Changge, I didn't mean that. It's just... I just think your methods are too miraculous."

Shi Wanshan also nodded repeatedly, a simple and honest smile on his face.

"Yes, yes, virtuous brother Changge, thank you so much for today's matter. It's all thanks to your help that Jing Xian and the others have this Opportunity."

Gu Changge mused to himself that in reality, the Nine Revolutions Golden Pills in his hand were already piled up like mountains, and he had a whole lake full of Innate Spirit Marrow.

But the path of Cultivation should inherently involve tempering. If these divine items were easily taken out, allowing Disciples to improve without any effort, how would they learn to cherish them?

Things that are too easily obtained are often not valued, and instead, they can foster laziness, which is not conducive to their future growth.

He glanced at Shi Jingxian and Lin Mochen, who were still excitedly, thinking that such a perfectly timed "blessing" would make them remember it deeply and Cultivate even harder.

Gu Changge waved his hand and pushed the teacups in front of them: "Alright, drink your tea. After drinking, everyone should Cultivate for a bit."

Only then did the two withdraw their gazes, pick up their teacups, and sip slowly.

As the tea fragrance entered their throats, the spiritual power that had been restless due to excitement gradually calmed down.

The two also fell into Cultivation... In the Myriad Law Pavilion's deliberation hall, sandalwood incense wafted, and Yun Canghai sat at the head, his fingers lightly tapping the table in front of him, his gaze profound.

"I heard that Lie Tianxiong's injuries still haven't healed?"

The Grand Elder, standing below, bowed and responded: "Yes. I heard that three Elders from Medicine King Valley personally went to the Burning Heaven Palace, but they were also helpless, saying that the energy within Lie Tianxiong's body was too strange, and they couldn't remove it at all."

Yun Canghai raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Oh? Even the people from Medicine King Valley can't do anything? This is interesting.

When did such a master appear in the Xuan Domain, capable of injuring Lie Tianxiong to such an extent and leaving such peculiar injuries?"

The Second Elder stepped forward, his voice deep: "Pavilion Master, the people from Burning Heaven Palace have become increasingly presumptuous these past few days. They insist that our Myriad Law Pavilion was responsible, repeatedly provoking us at the border, and even threatening retaliation.

We didn't indulge them. We took this Opportunity to seize one of their mineral veins and kill several Cave Heaven Realm Cultivators, considering it a lesson for them."

"Although our Myriad Law Pavilion doesn't fear them," Yun Canghai's fingertip paused, and his tone added a hint of coldness. "We cannot just take this blame. To be unjustly accused and have it spread would make our Myriad Law Pavilion appear to act despicably."

The Second Elder nodded in agreement.

"The Pavilion Master is right. We have been investigating during this period, but so far, we haven't discovered any new faces among the masters in the Xuan Domain. Someone with such strength, by all accounts, shouldn't be so low-key."

"Could it be an Old Ancestor from another Sect who made a move?" The Third Elder suddenly spoke, a hint of speculation flashing in his eyes.

"Among the Seven Great Sects of the Xuan Domain, besides our Myriad Law Pavilion, there might be other Sects hiding King Realm Old Ancestors.

Take the Azure Profound Sect, for example. As far as I know, they previously had an Old Ancestor at the Peak Heavenly Human Realm named Xuan Chenzi.

He appeared a hundred years ago during a crisis at the Azure Profound Sect, but at that time, his Lifespan was already nearing its end. If he didn't die, he might have already Breakthrough to the King Realm by now, but that possibility is minuscule."

Yun Canghai was silent for a moment, and the movement of his fingertips stopped.

"Xuan Chenzi... it's been some years since I heard that name."

He looked up at the Grand Elder: "Grand Elder, please make a personal trip to the Azure Profound Sect, Formation Breaking Sect, and other Sects, and discreetly investigate.

"See if they've had any special movements recently. Remember, you must act carefully and not reveal your identity."

The Grand Elder cupped his hands and accepted the order: "Yes, Pavilion Master, this subordinate will go and handle it now."

Yun Canghai nodded slightly, his gaze looking out the window, his tone carrying a hint of confidence.

"No matter who is behind this, as long as they dare to stir up trouble in the Xuan Domain, they cannot ignore the existence of our Myriad Law Pavilion. With my King Realm Cultivation, if anyone truly dares to provoke me, I will surely make him pay the price!"

Meanwhile, far away at the Azure Profound Sect, Gu Changge was sitting in a pavilion on Zizhu Peak, toying with a jade pendant in his hand.

His Divine Sense had already silently enveloped the Myriad Law Pavilion, hearing Yun Canghai's conversation with the Elders clearly.

The people from Burning Heaven Palace are coming, and the people from Myriad Law Pavilion are also coming. It's getting livelier and livelier.
