77: Chapter 77 Her eyes held a thirst that was not simple.

After decisively killing the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator surnamed Chen and Ma Yuan, Gu Qingge fell into a peaceful daily routine for several days.

When there was nothing to do, he would Cultivate, practice Alchemy, or chat with Shen Youqing.

Life was quite comfortable, and he faintly felt as if he were touching upon a Bottleneck.

He seemed to be on the verge of a Breakthrough in the Late Stage of the Golden Core Stage.

Everything was calm until this day, when Shengdan Hall was about to close, a woman with a veil covering her face, possessing a slightly dignified demeanor, a graceful and curvy figure, and stunning beauty, found Gu Qingge.

"I want to make a deal with you."

The woman's voice was very pleasant, like the melodious chirping of an oriole.

Afterward, before Gu Qingge had time to examine her closely, she brushed her jade-like hand across her face, slowly removing the black veil to reveal a charming and stunningly beautiful face.

Such a divine visage, even a casual glance would captivate the entire world!

"Oh? Why me?"

Gu Qingge's black eyes stared intently at the stunning beauty before him.

Her background seemed highly unusual.

Her Nascent Soul Stage cultivation was withered and in a sorry state, with a threat of near annihilation.

To return to her Peak would be many times more difficult than it was for Ling Xiaoxiao, who was staying by his side.

It could even be said that, right now, even a random Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator could capture her alive.

What kind of value could she possibly bring to him?

Or rather, she had already fallen to such a state.

If she weren't at her wit's end, she wouldn't have come to find him; it was like a drowning person finding a straw in the water and clutching it desperately.

"Because you seem to have some connection with Sect Master Min Qingrou," she said straightforwardly.

This woman was none other than the Sect Master of the Blood Demon Sect, Former Sect Leader Nangong Liyue, who had used the Blood Escape Great Technique to escape the pursuit of Sect Leader Mo Tianxing.

During this period, Former Sect Leader Nangong Liyue, who had been temporarily hiding in Qingshan Town to avoid the search by the minions under Sect Leader Mo Tianxing, had been observing the area outside Shengdan Hall for several days.

Combining the rumors and facts she had seen and heard, as well as the situation of Shen Youqing and the other women, she deduced that Sect Master Min Qingrou's escape was indeed connected to Gu Qingge in some way.

However, she had never seen the figure of Sect Master Min Qingrou.

Conversely, according to the talent he had displayed so far, he was in no way inferior to those Prodigies from the Holy Land.

"Oh? So, you are also from the demonic Sect?"

Hearing this, Gu Qingge became interested.

It was not only because Former Sect Leader Nangong Liyue was stunningly beautiful, but also because she was at the Nascent Soul Stage.

Could it be the displaced Sect Master of the Blood Demon Sect, Former Sect Leader Nangong Liyue?

After confirming with a glance, she was the legendary ice-cold older sister type.

As she had just removed her veil, it was like the light of the jade moon breaking through the clouds, softly shrouded in mist, shining brilliantly.

Her Soul was exquisitely beautiful!

Her immortal posture was peerless!

"I would like to ask you to help me retake the Blood Demon Sect," Former Sect Leader Nangong Liyue said.

"I can, but what price can you offer that is worth my intervention?" Gu Qingge asked.

In fact, even if Former Sect Leader Nangong Liyue hadn't brought it up, he had already been paying attention to matters concerning the Blood Demon Sect.

It was even set as a matter to be embarked upon in the near future.

After all, the System's random draw held significant temptation for him.

Last time, he had drawn the emperor blood demon cavalry token.

Especially since there were even better items that made him reluctant to leave, wishing he could stuff them all into his embrace.

"What do you want?" Former Sect Leader Nangong Liyue scrutinized Gu Qingge with her beautiful eyes.

Killing a Golden Core Stage Cultivator in one step, trapping and destroying a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.

Facts proved that, based on his strength, his combat power could no longer be measured by ordinary Realms.

And those who could achieve this were, without exception, peerless Prodigies!

Seeing that Gu Qingge did not answer, Former Sect Leader Nangong Liyue felt somewhat anxious.

As of now, Gu Qingge was likely the ally she had the best chance of securing.

As for other fellow Cultivators she was on good terms with, very few dared to oppose Sect Leader Mo Tianxing, who currently controlled the entire Blood Demon Sect.

And the forces within the Blood Demon Sect loyal to her had been almost completely uprooted by Sect Leader Mo Tianxing's well-laid ambush, with very few survivors left.

"There is an item in the Blood Demon Sect's Legacy Forbidden Ground that is about to revive."

Mentioning this, Former Sect Leader Nangong Liyue seemed to have made a great determination, a flash of decisiveness crossing her beautiful eyes.

Hearing this, Gu Qingge felt that what she mentioned must be extraordinary.

Immediately, he listened intently.

"That thing is called the Heart of the Blood Sea."

"It is soaked in the blood pool all year round."

"This item is a mysterious object obtained by the first Sect Master of our Blood Demon Sect."

"According to the research and speculations of past Sect Masters, it is judged to be the heart of a certain powerful expert."

"Moreover, this heart has not completely lost its vitality."

"Over a hundred years ago, a talented Sect Master catalyzed it using the Blood Demon Sect's secret techniques."

"But the resources consumed were immense, and it took a hundred years to finally reach the moment to harvest the fruits."

"It's just that I didn't expect to be ambushed by Sect Leader Mo Tianxing and the others, leaving me no time to harvest it."

"What is the use of this item?"

"To mend or replace a heart, or to refine the Soul Burial Divine Pill."

Mend or replace a heart meant replacing one's own heart; unless encountering extremely special circumstances where the heart was damaged and incurable, few Cultivators would resort to this method.

As for the Soul Burial Divine Pill, it was a rare item.

Coincidentally, this thing did require the heart of an ancient Cultivator or a Yao Beast.

"Do you have the Pill Formula?" Gu Qingge asked.

"Yes." Former Sect Leader Nangong Liyue nodded slightly, indicating agreement.

Upon learning this, Gu Qingge's eyes lit up.

The Soul Burial Divine Pill was a Medicinal Pill that could increase Soul Power.

And on the Lingzhou Continent, items that could increase Soul Power had always been relatively rare.

This was an unexpected surprise!

Gu Qingge thought to himself.

Afterward, Gu Qingge inquired about the overall situation of the Blood Demon Sect from Former Sect Leader Nangong Liyue to make full preparations.

Previously, the Blood Demon Sect had lost its two Sect-Protecting Old Ancestors, who had passed away.

Therefore, the strongest person in the entire Sect was undoubtedly Former Sect Leader Nangong Liyue, who was at the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Next was Vice Sect Master Xiao Jing, who possessed the combat power of the Early Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage.

This Xiao Jing's identity was also not simple; as the direct Bloodline descended from a previous Sect Master of the Blood Demon Sect, and with cultivation talent superior to ordinary people, he had formed his own faction within the Blood Demon Sect.

In the past, after Former Sect Leader Nangong Liyue took power, she balanced various forces and weakened the influence of the Xiao family within the Blood Demon Sect.

This also led the latter to harbor secret resentment toward her.

Consequently, when Sect Leader Mo Tianxing intended to forcibly seize the position of Blood Demon Sect Master, Xiao Jing fanned the flames behind his back, engaging in rampant treason.

"Your injuries..."

Although Gu Qingge was an Alchemist, he still had some understanding of certain injuries.

If the injuries on Former Sect Leader Nangong Liyue were not treated in time, it was highly likely to have a profound impact on her cultivation Realm.

"This is the negative effect caused by using the Blood Escape Great Technique."

Speaking of this, Former Sect Leader Nangong Liyue couldn't help but look at Gu Qingge carefully.

In that expression, there was a deep meaning that the latter did not understand.

It seemed... there was a style of a Hehuan Sect female Disciple, scrutinizing and selecting a Cauldron, preparing to perform dual cultivation extraction mixed into it.

To describe it in one sentence, that was—her gaze, not pure and filled with desire.
