Chapter 264 Too Slow
Just as Ye Qing'an was about to ask, she felt a wisp of spiritual energy being injected into her body, flowing along her meridians all the way to her dantian.
"Hmm?" Ye Qing'an squinted at Yi Moxu, wondering what he was doing.
Yi Moxu quickly released her hand: "Are you hurt?"
Ye Qing'an then realized that he was worried about her getting hurt?
Ye Qing'an was startled by the thought in her mind. She remained silent for a while before shaking her head: "No."
"Okay, that's good."
So he was worried that she had gotten hurt?
Ye Qing'an quickly realized: "You saw it?"
"How could I not know about the uproar that's causing all this trouble in the city?"
"But I was wearing a veil."
Yi Moxu raised her eyes and glanced at Ye Qing'an: "So what? Just because you're wearing a veil doesn't mean I won't recognize you."
"..." Isn't that right?
If Yi Moxu recognizes it, then wouldn't that be...
Yi Moxu seemed to understand what Ye Qing'an was thinking, and sighed softly: "I just recognized you. There were quite a few people who saw you at the time, but the others didn't recognize you."
Even if you change your clothes and wear a veil, I will still recognize you.
"..." Ye Qing'an had already heard the same words from two other people.
One is Zixiao, and the other is Yimoxu.
However, it's not surprising that Zixiao recognized her because she served her every day without leaving her side.
Yimo Xu...
"This is not the place to talk."
After Yi Moxu finished speaking, he walked towards the front yard where he lived.
Ye Qing'an followed behind.
"Weren't you supposed to be attending Miss Gu's banquet? Has something happened?"
"It's nothing, just some minor conflict with the people at the banquet," Ye Qing'an vaguely brushed it off, then went straight to the point: "By the way, do you know what I saw at the Gu residence?"
"What did you see?"
Ye Qing'an said directly, "I saw... Gu Duo's spirit beast."
"Water Qilin?"
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "You know?"
"Gu Duo was very famous in Siyou Kingdom before, and his spirit beast, the water unicorn, was also famous. His spirit beast was very powerful. In a great battle, it rescued the injured Gu Duo from among 100,000 Xuan cultivators, making him famous overnight."
"I see." Upon hearing Yi Moxu's words, Ye Qing'an thought of her own spirit beast that always held her back, sighed inwardly, and then continued, "I saw the water unicorn at the Gu residence. Affected by Gu Duo having one of his souls and one spirit extracted, the water unicorn's spiritual power has also decreased significantly, and its mind has also been affected."
"It's just that the current head of the Gu family is foolish and ignorant. He thinks that the water unicorn's spiritual power has decreased because he forcibly broke the water unicorn's spirit beast contract. Then he locked the water unicorn in the lake in his mansion and let the water unicorn create mist to amuse the women in the mansion."
"And if the water qilin disobeys their orders, they will beat and scold it at will, using mystical arts to suppress it and force it to obey..."
Upon hearing Ye Qing'an's words, Yi Moxu couldn't help but sneer: "You're courting death."
Isn't that just courting death?
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips: "If Gu Duo's soul can be found, then the Water Qilin will naturally be able to recover. At that time, the Water Qilin will definitely seek revenge on these members of the Gu family."
“But if Gu Duo’s soul cannot be found, then this water unicorn is indeed of no use.”
Ye Qing'an was testing him. She had previously asked Yi Moxu where Gu Duo's soul and spirit were.
However, Yi Moxu did not answer.
She didn't know if Yi Moxu was unwilling to tell her, or if he himself didn't know either.
However, more than the soul and spirit that Gu Duo lost, Ye Qing'an wanted to know where the Heavenly Spirit Pearl that allowed Gu Duo to directly ascend to the Supreme level could be found.
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes. Although she had the Cloud Dreamland and the Purple Gold Furnace to refine elixirs, as well as the books in the library to help her, it would still take her two or three years to upgrade to the Supreme level.
Reaching the Supreme Realm in two or three years might seem like an extremely fast pace to others, but for Ye Qing'an, it was still... too slow.
too slow.
Ye Qing'an was deep in thought, her brows furrowed, unaware that she had reached the entrance to Yi Moxu's courtyard. There was a low threshold at the gate, and Ye Qing'an tripped over it, falling forward.
"Be careful."
Yi Moxu quickly reached out and put his arm around Ye Qing'an's waist, pulling her into his arms to prevent her from falling.
Ye Qing'an felt her heart leap violently, a familiar cool fragrance rushed over, and behind her was the familiar warmth of Yi Moxu's body. Her heart pounded like thunder, striking Ye Qing'an's ear one beat after another.
Ye Qing'an frowned. She and Yi Moxu had had quite a few physical contacts before, all for the sake of acting. She had also felt that she wasn't as sensitive to Yi Moxu anymore. Why was she suddenly acting like this again?
"Why are you walking without looking where you're going? What are you thinking about?"
Ye Qing'an took a deep breath and quickly shifted her attention. She had already told Yi Moxu that she was a Supreme Body, so it was only natural that Yi Moxu coveted the Heavenly Spirit Pearl.
"I'm thinking..." Ye Qing paused, "I'm thinking, where can I find the Heavenly Spirit Pearl? I never knew before that there was such a thing that could allow someone to ascend directly to the Supreme Realm."
"If I could obtain that thing, I wouldn't need to waste so much time cultivating, and I could achieve my goal much faster..."
Yi Moxu did not loosen his grip on Ye Qing'an's waist, but only frowned slightly. How could her waist be so thin? It was as if he could break it with the slightest force.
Yi Moxu was momentarily distracted, but quickly regained his senses: "Using the Heavenly Spirit Pearl is not necessarily a good thing. In ordinary cultivation, while accumulating spiritual power, one will also gradually learn the spells that should be available at each stage. Once you have learned the spells in the earlier stages and laid a solid foundation, you will be able to handle the spells in the later stages with a little more ease."
"Gu Duo was promoted directly to the Supreme Realm, but he didn't lay a good foundation in magic. As a result, he was actually somewhat strong on the outside but weak on the inside. His magic often made mistakes, and in the end... due to some interference, he went into qi deviation and lost all his power."
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes: "Gu Duo, you've suffered a qi deviation and all your skills are ruined?"
Ye Qing'an recalled Gu Duo's previous situation: "Is that why he cultivated the Fire Separation Technique?"
"Hmm." Yi Moxu didn't say much, but went straight to the point: "So, although the Heavenly Spirit Pearl is good, not everyone can control it... It's still best to cultivate honestly."
