Doupo: Rebirth of Gu He, Starting with a Strategy to Win Over Yun Yun

Chapter 57 Inviting a Powerful Expert to Seize the Strange Flame, Discussing Ancient Poetry with Little Fairy DoctorIn front of the pill room, on the open ground, the Dragon Qi had not yet dissipated.

Seeing the continuous glints of wonder in their eyes, Gu He controlled his facial muscles well, his expression very serious.

”Elder Yun and Sect Master, you have both worked hard and achieved much. These two Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pills are for you!”

Gu He seemed to recall the past.

”Without the Cloud Mist Sect, how could I, Gu, have achieved what I have today!”

Yun Shan looked at Gu He’s sincere expression and realized for the first time that Gu He was no longer the high-spirited youth of the past. Now, his eyes held the calmness of one who had weathered many storms, as well as a subtle, calculating smoothness.

He naturally accepted the gesture.

”Fine! I accept your kindness!”

Not just Yun Shan, but Yun Yun also smiled and took the ice box Gu He handed over, which contained a Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill.

Suppressing her surprise and wonder, she said happily,

”Gu He, thank you!”

With his hands behind his back, Gu He finally spoke of his true purpose.

”You two should know that I went to the Tagor Desert some time ago and obtained the Green Lotus Core Flame, which is famous on the strange fire ranking list. My successful advancement to the seventh tier this time was also thanks to it.”

Yun Shan waited quietly for him to continue, while Yun Yun’s beautiful eyes already showed a look of approval in advance.

”In a few days, I plan to set out for the Jia Nan Academy in the Black-Corner Region to find the renowned Fallen Heart Flame.”

Jia Nan Academy is a famous institution on the Fighting Qi Continent, located in the center of the Black-Corner Region, with a profound foundation.

And the Fallen Heart Flame was actually inside Jia Nan Academy!

A defensive shield that could block out sound and sight had automatically activated around the three of them.

Yun Shan frowned, initially a bit puzzled. ”How did you know the strange fire was at Jia Nan Academy?”

There aren’t many strange fires on the Fighting Qi Continent, only about twenty or so on the strange fire ranking list. Gu He not only knew about the Green Lotus Core Flame and took it, but now he even knew the location of another strange fire. This was simply astonishing!

”This is an Alchemist’s secret,” Gu He said softly, his expression carrying a hint of mystery.

Yun Shan’s face chilled slightly, but the cold air emitting from the bottle in his hand made him realize that the current Gu He was no longer the sixth-tier pill king of the past.

He could now be considered the number one Alchemist in the Northwest Region. If he were to leave the Cloud Mist Sect, he would be like a bird in the vast sky, with countless experts flocking to curry favor with him.

He forced a smile. ”I naturally respect that.” He stopped probing into Gu He’s source of information.

After all, if Gu He intended it, a single seventh-tier Medicinal Pill could naturally make the experts of the Jia Ma Empire turn against each other.

Gu He smiled faintly. ”Then, would Elder Yun like to go on an adventure to the Black-Corner Region with me? And perhaps witness the prestige of Jia Nan Academy while we’re at it?”

Yun Shan smoothed his robes and sighed softly. ”Can I even refuse at this point?”

There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world; what you eat, you must spit back twofold...

However, as the former Sect Master, he was willing.

”What about you, Yun Yun?”

At some point, Yun Yun’s cheeks had flushed like sunset clouds. Her delicate brows curved as she said, ”Since Teacher has agreed, how can I, as his student, not follow?”

”Naturally, I must go with Teacher!”

”Heh, smooth talker!”

Yun Shan looked at the tall stone tablet of the Cloud Mist Sect near the Sect entrance, and his eyes unknowingly reddened.

The stone tablet towered into the clouds, complementing the thousand-meter staircase; it was a sight every Sect Disciple would see when ascending the mountain.

And the glory of the Cloud Mist Sect from a hundred years ago finally had hope of being restored through him and Yun Yun’s generation.

Perhaps they could even return to the Central Plains, witness the shifting clouds of the four directions, and see the legendary figures who shook the world...

*Sizzle...*

The phenomenon brought about by Gu He’s Medicinal Pill had actually not yet ended.

Sparse arcs of electricity streaked across the horizon, faint yet distinct.
