12: Chapter 0012 Warning

"Are you truly addicted to being a Cauldron?"

Hall Master Su Hongyun wore an amused expression; she was truly entertained by Gu Huan.

Of course, she did not elaborate on the meaning behind this, because someone had given the order that he was not allowed to be put back up for auction and become a Cauldron for other women.

"Then this one thanks Hall Master Su in advance."

Gu Huan was not stupid; he understood immediately, seeing that Hall Master Su Hongyun did not intend to auction him again.

However, he could not tell that someone else had issued instructions behind the scenes, simply assuming that Hall Master Su Hongyun cherished a Genius and did not want to watch him sink deeper and deeper.

The other party had already gone to such lengths.

It would be unreasonable to ask to be a Cauldron again, as it would easily reveal his true intentions.

After thanking Hall Master Su Hongyun, Gu Huan left the Auction Hall in a low-profile manner, using the Extreme Concealment Technique to maintain his cultivation at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and returned smoothly to Qin Yao's Immortal Cave.

As expected.

The law-enforcement Disciples who had originally blockaded the place had all withdrawn.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and walked in calmly.

The next instant.

A scent of epiphyllum drifted into his nostrils.

An aura of high-level cultivation washed over him, startling him so much that he turned his head abruptly, only to be greatly shocked.

Entering his sight.

Was a figure in a green dress, with a stunning back profile that stirred the imagination.

Her three thousand strands of black hair reached her waist, smooth and dark like a flowing waterfall, adorned with hair accessories that shone like the Milky Way.

Qin Yao?

No! It was Song Yuchan!

The Personal Disciple of the Grand Elder of Wangqing Peak, and one of the only two Sword Cultivators in the Hehuan Sect.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Song. This one did not know you were here; please forgive me."

Gu Huan cupped his hands in a bow, greeting her politely.

Upon hearing this.

Song Yuchan turned around leisurely.

As she lifted her eyes to look at him, her heart could not help but churn.

This woman's beauty was truly breathtaking, even surpassing Qin Yao by a margin; it could only be described as flawless.

Moreover, her attire was even more elegant and neat, exuding a remarkably pure and beautiful aura. With a slender waist and a tall, graceful figure, her temperament was particularly outstanding, standing in stark contrast to the Hehuan Enchantress.

Even Qin Yao.

Would occasionally have a hint of charm in her beautiful features.

But Song Yuchan had none of that; she was as pure as a lotus rising from the mud without being stained.

"We have met for the second time."

"I came today only to tell you that you must absolutely not have any thoughts of being a Cauldron again, otherwise you will die a miserable death."

Gu Huan felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

He looked at Song Yuchan in disbelief.

Her face was flawless, and when she issued the warning, she remained calm, showing no signs of joy or anger.

"This..."

Song Yuchan did not give Gu Huan a chance to say a second sentence.

She turned around leisurely, her black hair fluttering and the scent of epiphyllum lingering, walking away with a relaxed gait until her figure disappeared from sight.

"What is going on?"

"What is the deal with this woman?"

"Not let me be a Cauldron? Why won't she let me be a Cauldron?"

Gu Huan's questions came one after another; he truly could not understand Song Yuchan's intentions.

However, just as the third question left his lips, that green silhouette actually returned, appearing like a ghost in front of the Immortal Cave, staring at him like an executioner coldly watching a sentencing.

Gulp!

Gu Huan swallowed hard, his scalp tingling, and he could not even speak.

Fortunately, Song Yuchan only issued a warning with her eyes, and a moment later, she rose on her sword and left completely.

"This woman is too sinister!"

"She actually hid outside the door, pretending to leave, only to jump out and warn me."

Gu Huan was truly numb.

He really could not see through Song Yuchan's actions.

The last time they met, she just said hello; this time, she only came to warn him not to have thoughts of being a Cauldron. What was this all about?

"She has the backing of the Grand Elder of Wangqing Peak; I can't afford to offend her, nor can I hide from her."

"Just accept fate; whatever she says goes."

"Hoo!"

Gu Huan exhaled a breath of stale air.

He closed the stone door and went to Cultivate without looking back.

He strove to consolidate the cultivation of the second Purple Flood Dragon at the eighth level of Qi Refining. This way, his cultivation would be on par with the Twin Purple Flood Dragons, giving him a higher chance of winning when facing strong enemies.

...

Jile Peak.

The living quarters for male Outer Disciples.

An Immortal Cave stood atop the mountain peak, luxurious and magnificent.

Surrounded by misty clouds and soaring cranes, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was abundant and rich.

Inside the Immortal Cave, light songs and dances were accompanied by melodious zither music. As a woman in red rushed in anxiously, all the music and singing stopped, and the dancing women exited in an orderly fashion.

"Young Master, something terrible has happened."

The woman in red looked panicked, struggling to maintain her composure. Through the jade screen, a man could be vaguely seen lying recklessly on a couch, with two women pounding his legs and rubbing his shoulders.

"Sister Hong Tao, the Young Master asks what is the cause of your panic?" A voice like a charm transmitted the message for the man.

"Reporting to Young Master, Lvzhu has yet to return. This servant is worried that she may have met with misfortune." After saying this, Hong Tao seemed to have exhausted much of her strength, her eyes lowered, not daring to look at the person behind the screen.

Upon hearing this.

The man slowly sat up from the couch, his face gloomy. The two serving women were so startled they dared not make a sound, immediately kneeling and bowing their heads.

"What did you say? Lvzhu failed?"

"This servant is not certain, but she has not returned, and the person she was meant to eliminate has returned first."

As the words fell.

The man gnashed his teeth in anger, grabbed a cup, and threw it heavily against the wall, where it shattered instantly.

"Young Master, please calm your anger!"

The two women were panicked, trembling.

"Are you sure?"

"This servant is sure." Hong Tao nodded affirmatively.

"With Lvzhu's cultivation, how could she fail to kill a Cauldron at the fifth level of Qi Refining? Where exactly did the problem arise?"

"This servant has one thing I do not understand: why is Young Master so insistent on eliminating that inconspicuous Cauldron?"

Hong Tao could not understand.

In her impression, Gu Huan had never offended Li Yunlu!

"You do not understand. A man who can make Song Yuchan remember his name must first be recognized by me, Li Yunlu. A mere Cauldron is not worthy of standing on equal footing with me; this is an insult to my character."

"Hong Tao, investigate the true cause of Lvzhu's death as soon as possible." Li Yunlu simply did not believe that a mere Cauldron at the fifth level of Qi Refining had the ability to kill Lvzhu in return.

There must be something suspicious about this.

"Yes, Young Master."

Hong Tao received the order and turned to leave the Immortal Cave.

"How long are you going to kneel? Why don't you get up and help me Cultivate?" Li Yunlu was in a foul mood.

"But Young Master is in a bad mood; forcing yourself to Cultivate easily leads to Qi Deviation."

"Then let us indulge in pleasure; call them all back."

"Yes! Yes!"

The two women dared not linger and immediately called back the dancing women. The large Immortal Cave was soon enveloped by light songs and dances once again.

...

Late at night.

The bright moon hung high, and the stars were brilliant.

Gu Huan had completely taken over Qin Yao's Immortal Cave. After finishing his Cultivation, he lit a lamp.

"These are Qi Gathering Pills, Yuan-Nurturing Pills, and Virility Pills." Gu Huan took out Lvzhu's Medicinal Pills to categorize them, and upon seeing the Virility Pill, he could not help but smile with contempt.

A woman carrying such a pill on her person was definitely preparing it for a man.

The Virility Pill was not comparable to the blood sun pill.

Only those with severe physical or kidney deficiency would take it to activate a man's natural instinct to fight more fiercely the longer he battles, but the duration was limited, gaining a certain amount of time based on the situation.

To put it bluntly.

Lvzhu's Young Master was not capable in that area.

Without the assistance of the Virility Pill, when it came to "eating meat," he would only be fit to sit at the same table as a caterpillar.

The side effects brought by the Qi Gathering Pill and Yuan-Nurturing Pill were limited, containing only the purest pill toxins, which were reversed by the System into the purest medicinal effects.

It was equivalent to taking a perfect Medicinal Pill, which would not produce any side effects on the human body.

As for the Virility Pill.

It was not yet clear what kind of reversal effect it would have.

Qin Yao was not here, and he dared not eat it randomly to avoid any embarrassing situations.

Thinking of Qin Yao.

Gu Huan could not help but feel disappointed; he had thought he found a shortcut to Cultivate, benefiting both parties.

Unfortunately, beauty is often short-lived; having experienced the joy of fish and water only once, she had now gone missing, which was truly a pity.

Subsequently.

He thought of Song Yuchan again.

This woman was the most inexplicable of all.

It was fine that he couldn't see her once a month, but she also forbade him from having thoughts of being a Cauldron, with death as the penalty if discovered. Thinking of the Grand Elder standing behind her, Gu Huan could only force a smile.

"Qin Yao, oh Qin Yao, where exactly are you? Being your Cauldron should be fine, right!"

"Open the door!!"

At the same time.

A ghostly female voice rang out at an inopportune moment.
