Chapter 255 - New Function

Soon after, Gu Zuo pulled Gongyi Tianheng to the left-side hall. His hand pointed to the jade bed: “If you cultivate on this bed, it can clear your heart and soul, and you won’t be disturbed by any outside forces. It also has a very big effect on the clarity of your mind. In addition, it can dispel tiredness to a certain degree.”

Tianheng smiled and said: “Indeed, it’s very useful.”

Gu Zuo was in a very good mood: “In the future, if big brother wants to come up with any martial skills, you can come here.”

Tianheng’s smiling expression deepened: “Many thanks, Ah Zuo. Ah Zuo is very considerate.”

Gu Zuo listened to this praise, and pulled Tianheng to the right-side hall: “These twelve imprisonment cages can contain wild beasts. I’m at the Xiantian Realm, so I can put Spirit-Level wild beasts inside them. In any case, the realms of the wild beasts that are imprisoned here can be one rank higher than my own. Moreover, once they’re put inside, they’ll be controlled by the cages, and they’ll be no different from a person I’ve engraved with the Medicinal Slave Brand. Both would be under my control.”

Tianheng praised again: “That’s amazing.”

Gu Zuo smiled and continued to display his treasures: “Later on, if big brother captures any useful wild beasts, you can send them here. At that time, we won’t have to constantly purchase wild beasts.”

Tianheng nodded his head: “What Ah Zuo says makes sense.”

Shortly thereafter, Gu Zuo pulled Tianheng into the main hall. His hand pointed at those twelve black holes: “Big brother, come look. This is my storage space. This one is exclusively for big brother. I’ve put all of big brother’s stuff in here.”

Following which, Gu Zuo’s voice trailed off. The storage region that he pointed at began shining in an instant. Inside the originally pitch-black hole, many things appeared before their eyes.

This was due to Gu Zuo’s thoughts moving. As a result, Tianheng could see this scene here.

After that, Gu Zuo pointed to the different storage regions one by one: “This is the one where I put my medicinal pills. This is the one where I put my medicinal ingredients. This is the one where I put poisonous substances. This is for the meat essence of wild beasts. This is for my item books. This is...”

He pointed to each and every one, but he stopped when he reached the last black hole.

— Shit! This was the one that stored Qi Tianyou’s corpse! He would’ve normally forgotten all about it, but what was he supposed to do now?!

Gu Zuo’s mind spun at lightning speed, and he immediately withdrew his hand: “This is an empty one. I still haven’t thought about what I want to put inside it.”

After he finished speaking, he sighed.

Fortunately, his mind didn’t have this intention, so the black hole didn’t brighten up, and the corpse wasn’t revealed. Otherwise, he really didn’t know how he would explain this to his big brother.

Ah, this was really a ticking time-bomb... Once his days became smooth and steady, it was for the best that he found a place with optimal fengshui to bury Qi Tianyou.

While thinking such thoughts, Gu Zuo’s face still didn’t particularly show anything.

However, after Tianheng heard these words, he raised an eyebrow and his eyes flashed with a strange light.

Only, it was a pity that Gu Zuo, who felt guilty from the bottom of his heart for telling lies, completely failed to notice this slight change&#k2026;

After introducing all of the functions to Tianheng, Gu Zuo sighed with a bit of regret: “The system has gained many functions after the upgrade, but there’s one point that isn’t good.”

Tianheng looked at him: “What’s no good?”

Gu Zuo shook his head: “Reportedly, this palace hall relies on medicinal qi to be maintained. When I go in, it uses up one strand of medicinal qi every two hours. If big brother goes in, it needs two strands every two hours. When it’s added all up, it’ll be three strands every two hours when both of us go in. That’s thirty-six strands a day. On top of that, the amounts of medicinal qi I need when I’m normally cultivating has been growing bigger and bigger lately. What am I supposed to do when I can’t make ends meet. Ah, the pressure is huge.”

Tianheng heard Gu Zuo talk like this, and he couldn’t restrain a smile: “Ah Zuo, these words are wrong.”

Gu Zuo tilted his head.

Tianheng continued to speak: “With this godly hall, if Ah Zuo and I encounter any life or death calamities in the future, it’ll be equivalent to having an extra life. Even if some medicinal qi is spent, you’ll still be making a profit. Only...”

Gu Zuo hastily asked: “Only what?”

Tianheng said: “It’s just that Ah Zuo will have to work hard in the days to come, and accumulate lots of medicinal qi. Preparedness averts peril.”

Gu Zuo revealed a smiling expression when he heard this reply: “Big brother, rest assured. When I refine medicine, I’m also cultivating. So long as there’s enough medicinal ingredients, things like medicinal qi are a mere trifle!”

Tianheng laughed. He bent a finger and flicked Gu Zuo’s forehead: “I’ll certainly give you enough medicinal ingredients.”

Gu Zuo stretched his hand to cover his forehead, and giggled along with Tianheng.

Following this, under Gu Zuo’s recommendation, Tianheng got on the jade bed in the Divine Medicine Palace Hall and tested whether that jade bed was as effective as Gu Zuo said.

The results were very pleasing. The efficiency in cultivating on that jade bed was much higher than normal. Gu Zuo tried it himself, too. Sure enough, when he accumulated true qi and tempered his psychic power, the speeds had become faster.

Hence, for the next two days, when Gu Zuo refined medicine and accumulated medicinal qi in the outside world, he would allow Tianheng to cultivate inside the Divine Medicine Palace Hall. And once Gu Zuo finished his tasks, Tianheng would come out, and Gu Zuo would go in to cultivate for a period of time.

Aside from occasionally dealing with Xi Shuangyun’s expressions of sympathy and care on behalf of Shuangyun Hall, the two didn’t need to worry about anything else. Generally speaking, their days were still very satisfying.

On the third day, Xi Yangyun returned to meet them in person.

After entering the room, he first apologized: “Junior Sect Brother Gongyi, this Xi has come late. Please don’t take offense.”

At this time, Tianheng was “weakly” reclining on the couch. Having heard what was said, he lifted his eyes, and gave a slight smile: “Senior Sect Brother Xi, it has been very busy for you. The two of us are also being treated as honored guests here. How can there be any justification for taking offense?”

Off to the side, Gu Zuo dragged over a small seat, and arranged it in a position that was a slight distance away from the couch: “Senior Sect Brother Xi, please sit.”

Xi Yangyun sat down. After he said hello to Gu Zuo, he asked: “Junior Sect Brother Gongyi, how is your current condition?”

Tianheng said: “I’m already quickly recovering. It’ll only take some nursing, and I’ll be able to completely regain my peak strength.”

There was joy on Xi Yangyun’s face: “That couldn’t be any better.”

However, after Tianheng carefully sized up Xi Yangyun, he asked: “I’m doing well here, but why does Senior Sect Brother Xi look worried? I don’t know if this matter can be discussed, but if I can help, then there shouldn’t be any harm in Senior Sect Brother Xi talking about it.”

Xi Yangyun’s smile stiffened. After that, he sighed and said: “I won’t keep this from Junior Sect Brother Gongyi. It has to do with our battles with Chongyun Sect.”

Tianheng’s expression was upright and proper. His bearing was rigorous and strict: “I’d like to hear the details.”

Gu Zuo also pricked up his ears.

On that day, they left as soon as those secluded disciples arrived. The following matters would’ve certainly been marvelous, so he took advantage of this chance to listen. However, Xi Yangyun was so disheartened. Could it be that the outcome was lacking?

Sure enough, Xi Yangyun said: “As hidden, great geniuses, the secluded disciples of my Qingyun Sect had many resources and meticulous trainings spent on them. Their strengths far surpassed those of ordinary disciples at equal realms. During this time’s battles with the Chongyun Sect disciples, they quickly adapted and obtained many victories.”

Tianheng faintly nodded his head.

Gu Zuo also nodded along.

This was to be expected! No matter how powerful Chongyun Sect was, it couldn’t move the Sect’s foundations. In any case, Qingyun Sect was a great Sect. How could it be possible that there weren’t any people to defend it?

But following this, Xi Yangyun wore a bitter smile: “Originally, although the disciples on Chongyun Sect’s side were getting stronger and stronger, both our Sect and the opposing side would still obtain victories and defeats when we clashed. Even the strongest among our Sect’s secluded disciples was able to make brilliant consecutive wins, suppressing the other party. Merely, at that time, we didn’t expect that Chongyun Sect would send three more people. And these three people were unprecedentedly powerful. Among them, only the Xiantian stage seven young man was dispatched, and he defeated the strongest secluded disciple of our Qingyun Sect—”

Gu Zuo cautiously and solemnly asked: “What was the realm of our Sect’s secluded disciple?”

Xi Yangyun’s complexion turned even more bitter: “Xiantian stage eight.”

Gu Zuo: “...”

Ah, no wonder.

Qingyun Sect’s people didn’t know that Chongyun Sect’s genius disciples were divided into low, mid, and high grades, but it could be seen that the people whom the the other side sent out were of a higher grade than Qingyun Sect’s geniuses. Basically, even Qingyun Sect’s secluded disciples weren’t able to keep their pride for long before being ruthlessly struck down from the clouds.

Whether it was Tianheng’s previous triumphs or the great increase in the morale of Qingyun Sect’s disciples, both were suppressed under such a spectacle.

Right now, Chongyun Sect’s goal was practically achieved. Although Tianheng’s performance was to everyone’s satisfaction, it was only a bump in the road as far as Chongyun Sect was concerned. No matter how sharply the course of events changed, it was turned over by Chongyun Sect at the final juncture.

Xi Yangyun was furious.

Even the secluded disciples were unable to deal with Chongyun Sect. What else could they still do? It wouldn’t get to the point where all pretenses were dropped and the Immortal Realm disciples took action, right?

At this moment, Tianheng said: “Senior Sect Brother Xi’s concerns are reasonable. But what I’m worried about now is that, after Chongyun Sect has bullied and humiliated my Sect at the Xiantian Realm, will they come for the layer of disciples at the Immortal Realm...”

Xi Yangyun immediately blanked.

But he reacted quickly, too. Tianheng’s conjecture truly wasn’t impossible!

Waves of rage rushed forth in his heart, but in the end, it transformed into a heavy sigh.

If it really turned out like that, then they could only continue to respond in kind.

As a last resort, there was still those people...

Yet, these thoughts were only considered for an instant. This time around, aside from sending his greetings, Xi Yangyun had come to find Tianheng for another reason.

After a bit of wording, Xi Yangyun simply said: “Before I came here, Lingxiu entrusted something for me to convey.”

In Tianheng and Gu Zuo’s hearts, they both had a premonition.

T/N: Drug Slave Brand will be retroactively changed to Medicinal Slave Brand.

Thanks for the corrections, Charysa.
