75: Xuan Yangzi, return my tears

Xiao Ruobai and Fang Hanyu, seeing Ye Guying approach, quickly stopped their Cultivate postures and bowed in unison: "Greetings, Senior Martial Uncle Ye, Senior Brother Mu!"

Ye Guying looked at the two, feeling the Body Tempering Realm Qi emanating from them, and their "obedient" demeanor, appearing no different from ordinary Body Tempering Disciples.

His mouth twitched involuntarily. What the hell kind of Body Tempering Realm was this?!

He had personally witnessed Fang Hanyu, in the Sect Grand Competition, directly confronting a Core Formation Realm opponent without falling behind. Xiao Ruobai had also defeated a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Disciple in a few moves.

Which Body Tempering Realm cultivator could have such ability?

However, on second thought, it was better than those Disciples who became arrogant as soon as they gained power. Junior Brother Changge taught them well!

He glanced at Mu Chenyu behind him, muttering to himself: "My Disciple, when it comes to being low-key, still needs to learn a lot from these two."

Gu Changge led everyone towards the bamboo pavilion. Mu Chenyu silently followed, his gaze sweeping over the Spiritual Qi swirling around Zizhu Peak, his heart already churning with immense waves.

The Spiritual Qi on Martial Uncle Gu's Zizhu Peak was too dense!

My Late Stage Core Formation Realm cultivation, after staying here for a moment, actually felt my Sword Intent loosen quite a bit.

No wonder Junior Brothers Xiao Ruobai and Hanyu progressed so quickly. This must be the 'great Opportunity' Master spoke of before he came!

He clenched the sword hilt, his knuckles turning white from the force. He recalled his Sword Intent, which had shown no movement after half a month of seclusion on Jianxiao Peak, now showing faint signs of Breakthrough under the nourishment of the Spiritual Qi. He felt even more that this trip to Zizhu Peak was not in vain.

"Junior Brother Gu, Senior Brother Xuan Yangzi and Old Stone's Disciples are progressing so quickly, you must have put in a lot of effort, right?"

Ye Guying leaned closer to Gu Changge, his tone carrying a hint of pleading.

"I've brought Chenyu, you can't favor one over the other. You have to give him some pointers too!"

Gu Changge had a headache, but still nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, he won't be left out."

"That's more like it!" Ye Guying immediately beamed.

"Xiao Ruobai, Hanyu, you two can chat with Senior Brother Mu first."

Gu Changge turned to instruct, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over the greenish-gold ox buttock peeking out from the rock crevice in the spirit field, chuckling inwardly.

I'll let you off the hook today.

He flicked his fingertip, and a green light streaked through the bamboo forest, disappearing in the direction of the Ten Thousand Mountains in an instant.

After only a moment, the green light reversed and returned. Gu Changge's hand now held a large piece of beast meat with faint golden patterns. The aroma of the meat had not yet dissipated, and it carried a heart-pounding pressure.

It was precisely the Saint King Realm Twin-Winged Tiger King he had "invited" to the Ten Thousand Mountains earlier.

"Today, let's try a different flavor. Let's taste some tiger meat."

As soon as Ye Guying approached, he was forced back half a step by the lingering Saint King pressure from the beast meat. His Peak King Realm Spiritual Qi unconsciously began to circulate.

He looked at Gu Changge effortlessly carrying the Tiger King meat, and his eyes completely changed—how much strength was this kid hiding?

Gu Changge placed the Tiger King meat next to the stone stove, and a faint golden flame ignited on his fingertip. The sizzling sound of grease dripping into the fire instantly spread, and the rich aroma of the meat, mixed with the sweet freshness of Spiritual Qi, made Ye Guying involuntarily sniff.

Gu Changge raised his hand, gesturing for everyone to gather around the stone stove. As soon as he took the glistening, roasted Tiger King meat off the rack, Fang Hanyu and Mu Chenyu's Adam's apples uncontrollably bobbed, their anticipation practically overflowing in their eyes.

Fang Hanyu's hands, hanging by his sides, secretly clenched, and a faint swallowing sound came from his throat.

He had only been on Zizhu Peak for a short time and had only tasted the meat roasted by Gu Changge once.

That time, the pure Spiritual Power contained in the meat juice slid down his throat, not only instantly nourishing his damaged Physical Body, but also invigorating the Origin of his Chaos Sword Body by several points.

Not to mention the enlightenment tea brewed by Master. The moment the tea soup entered his throat, the obscure sword moves in the Chaos Sword Art spread like a tide in his Sea of Consciousness, raising his comprehension of the Dao of the Sword by a level.

Now, smelling the aroma of the Tiger King meat again, he felt his breathing become hot, and his heart was filled with the joy of "being able to eat Master's roasted meat again."

Mu Chenyu couldn't help but move half a step forward. The aroma of the meat, mixed with a faint Spiritual Qi, lingered around his nose, making his palms break out in a thin sweat.

He had never seen such tempting food on Jianxiao Peak. Just smelling it made him feel the Spiritual Power in his Dantian become restless, wishing he could taste it immediately.

Only Xiao Ruobai remained relatively calm. He had eaten roasted Yao Beast meat with Gu Changge several times before, and although he was already accustomed to this deliciousness, he couldn't help but stare at the golden-brown skin, a familiar anticipation flashing in his eyes.

The meat roasted by Master, every time he ate it, could make his War God Body a bit more refined. This Tiger King meat looked even more extraordinary than the previous Yao Beast meat, so its benefits must be even greater.

When the meat was roasted to a crispy outside and tender inside, Gu Changge distributed it to everyone.

Ye Guying eagerly took a bite. The Tiger King meat melted in his mouth, and a powerful surge of Qi and blood slid down his throat. His previously somewhat stagnant Physical Body actually emitted faint "crackling" sounds, and even the Physical Body barrier, stuck at Peak King Realm, loosened a bit!

He widened his eyes, forgetting to chew the meat in his mouth: "W-what Realm Yao Beast meat is this? Just one bite can nourish the Physical Body!"

Mu Chenyu also took a bite. The meat juice burst on his tongue, and his previously tense Sword Intent instantly relaxed. The Late Stage Core Formation Realm Spiritual Power actually began to circulate wildly, his Meridians were widened by a gentle force, and even his Sea of Consciousness became much clearer.

He couldn't help but close his eyes, feeling the earth-shattering changes within his body, his heart filled only with shock—this Opportunity was even more astonishing than Master had described!

The Azure Sky Python Ox in the spirit field's rock crevice heard the exclamations outside and quietly poked its head out, its nose twitching—it wasn't its meat!

It immediately breathed a sigh of relief but still didn't dare to come out, only pricking up its ears to listen to the commotion outside, fearing that Gu Changge would suddenly change his mind and want to eat beef.

When everyone had eaten enough, Gu Changge pulled out a lustrous white jade bottle from his storage ring, poured out a Medicinal Pill with a lustrous white glow, and handed it to Mu Chenyu: "This is a Marrow Cleansing Pill. It can improve Aptitude. Take it."

Ye Guying watched this scene, his pupils constricting—a Marrow Cleansing Pill!

This was a Heaven-Defying peerless Medicinal Pill that could change Aptitude!

At that time, Senior Brother Xuan Yangzi said that Gu Changge had only given him two. He had already taken one, and the other he unhesitatingly gave to himself, allowing him to completely transform, and also instructed him to keep it low-key to avoid other Peak Masters coveting it.

Thinking of this, Ye Guying's heart was filled with gratitude: "Junior Brother Gu, Sect Head Senior Brother actually shared such a treasure with me. This kindness, he will never forget in this life!"

But seeing Gu Changge casually give one to Mu Chenyu, he couldn't help but speak up.

"Junior Brother Changge, this Marrow Cleansing Pill is so Heaven-Defying. Shouldn't it be given to those who need it more? For example, the various Peak Masters—they are the pillars of the Sect. If their Aptitude improves, it will also be good for the Sect!"

Gu Changge placed the Marrow Cleansing Pill in Mu Chenyu's hand and casually said: "It's fine, I still have quite a few of these Medicinal Pills. I gave some to the Sect Master before, and I presume he has already given them to the various Peak Masters to take."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Changge suddenly froze—oh no!

He remembered Xuan Yangzi telling every Peak Master it was the "last one"... He silently prayed to Xuan Yangzi in his heart: "Senior Brother, I'm sorry! I really didn't mean to sell you out!"

How could he have accidentally let it slip?

Ye Guying was also stunned, then slammed the stone table and roared: "Gave some? That old fox Xuan Yangzi told me before that you only gave him two!

You, Xuan Yangzi, I was touched by you for a long time, give me back my tears! I'm not done with you!"

Gu Changge looked at the farce before him, helplessly rubbing his forehead—this mouth of his, today he had completely exposed Xuan Yangzi's "true colors"!

Mu Chenyu, listening to their conversation, was already greatly shocked, his hand holding the Marrow Cleansing Pill trembling.

Seeing Ye Guying nod, he unhesitatingly swallowed the Medicinal Pill.

The Medicinal Pill melted upon entering his throat, and a warm current instantly swept through his limbs and bones!

His Sea of Consciousness buzzed, and the Middle Grade Heaven-Grade Aptitude barrier shattered. Golden light spread from his Dantian, actually leaping all the way to Low Grade Saint-Grade!

Even more astonishingly, the Late Stage Core Formation Realm barrier "cracked" and shattered, directly breaking through to Middle Stage Purple Mansion Realm!

The Spiritual Power circulated more than a hundred times faster, and even his Sword Intent was refined several times. His entire Cultivation path was widened.

"This, this is Saint-Grade Aptitude?!"

Mu Chenyu suddenly opened his eyes, his fingers trembling as he inwardly examined himself, his voice even carrying a hint of a sob—he had never imagined that he could possess the legendary Saint-Grade Aptitude!
