Chapter 339: Master and Disciple
People from the northern deserts are somewhat out of place compared to those from other regions of the Xuan Tian Realm.
Perhaps it's because the environment in the northern desert is so harsh, consisting of vast stretches of barren desert and Gobi or icy, snow-covered plains. In some places, there is even thick, dark purple fog and miasma, where one would die if they stepped in. There are few truly beautiful places, and even clean water is not easy to find.
Not to mention, the existence of the Great Abyss has left a scar on the northern desert land that may never heal.
In addition, there are the occasional lone Abyss Demons wandering outside, and the even more ferocious monsters bred from the harsh and desolate landscape...
The harsh living conditions in the northern desert meant that the lives of the people there were always filled with hardship and suffering. Those with weak constitutions were destined to have short lifespans, and those who survived all possessed extraordinary skills.
Regardless of gender, people from the northern deserts tend to have a rather wild appearance.
Qi Yuan, on the other hand, is exactly the type who is all about wildness.
Moreover, they are all quite ruthless.
This rogue cultivator merely made a joke, yet he incurred Qi Yuan's wrath with such vicious methods.
Logically speaking, those who refine medicine should cultivate their minds and maintain a pure heart; otherwise, when they start refining medicine, their mental state will affect the quality of the finished product, or even lead to failure.
However, Qi Yuan did not do so.
Meng Yirou felt that such a person was indeed not suitable to be an alchemist.
But perhaps that's just how the "Northern Desert Medicine School" is.
This cannot be judged by common sense. On the other hand...
Qi Yuan and his fellow members of the Northern Desert Medicine Sect set up camp somewhere.
"Hehe, that Holy Maiden of the Palace of Healing has a truly amazing figure, and her face is absolutely stunning. Such a gorgeous beauty..."
A certain pharmacist from the northern desert couldn't help but rub his hands together and said in a lewd manner.
Upon hearing this, the others couldn't help but show expressions of admiration.
"Yes, where in our northern desert can we find such fair-skinned and beautiful girls?"
In the northern desert, there are very few beauties with delicate skin like Meng Yirou. They are all quite fierce wildcats who can bite a man to death if you're not careful.
"Why don't you just snatch her away, Brother Qi Yuan?"
“This might not be a good idea. Although our Medicine Sect and the Qingyi Divine Palace don’t get along well, they’re not enemies. But the Palace Master of the Qingyi Divine Palace, Master Yao, is a ninth-grade alchemy master…” “What are you afraid of? Our Northern Desert Medicine Sect isn’t without ninth-grade masters! I think Brother Qi Yuan’s master is much more powerful than Master Yao.”
"Yes... Brother Qi Yuan deserves that kind of woman!"
Qi Yuan heard all of these words, but he just smiled and didn't make any move.
That really hit the nail on the head.
He truly loved Meng Yirou, this peerless beauty with her fair skin and delicate bones.
In particular, the delicate fragrance emanating from her body was intoxicating.
Just like these pharmacists say.
Such fair and delicate women are truly rare to see in the northern desert, let alone to get close to. Qi Yuan had grown tired of those wildcat-like women from the northern desert.
The woman he wanted was someone as noble and aloof as Meng Yirou… This was an obsession.
Qi Yuan is also the kind of person who won't give up until he achieves his goal.
If you use both soft and hard tactics, you can always win them over.
Qi Yuan narrowed his long, narrow eyes, secretly calculating.
……
Gu Heng, accompanied by Qin Yiyao, rode in a carriage towards the mountains where the "Ancient Secret Palace" appeared.
The distance was quite far, but fortunately the carriage was fast and not bumpy. In the blink of an eye, Qin Yiyao had just woken up after sleeping on Gu Heng's lap, and they had arrived at their destination.
"Gentlemen, the Ancient Yin Mountains are just ahead. The carriage can't go any further, so we'll have to drop you off here."
The coachman stopped and pointed to the towering, majestic peaks in the distance.
"Thank you so much, young man. Please accept the rest of the silver." Gu Heng politely handed the coachman a bag of silver, then pulled Qin Yiyao out of the carriage.
Qin Yiyao yawned and looked at the lush forest in front of her.
Gu Heng got out of the carriage and looked around.
"Ah, this is it."
The Ancient Crocodile Mountains are the name of the mountains that rise abruptly from the ancient secret palace. Legend has it that an enormous ancient crocodile was killed here, and its body transformed into these mountains, hence the name.
Of course, this was just a legend that Gu Heng heard on the way, and it's hard to say whether it's true or not.
Anyway, unless you look at it from the sky, you really can't tell that there are crocodiles in these mountains.
heaven.
At least several hundred figures arrived, some flying on magical artifacts, others aboard enormous spirit boats. The scene was like something out of a TV drama, and Gu Heng watched for a long time. So many cultivators, truly a grand spectacle.
"Come on, let's go inside and take a look. This place is so lively now."
Gu Heng led Qin Yiyao into the Ancient Crocodile Mountains. Just as the coachman had said, the roads here were not suitable for carriages, as they were covered with thorns and weeds, and were uneven and rugged.
The two walked for about half an hour, not knowing where they were, but they still hadn't seen the Ancient Secret Palace.
"Master, how much do you know about this Primordial Secret Palace?"
Qin Yiyao looked at him.
"Ok?"
Gu Heng was somewhat puzzled.
He knew absolutely nothing about this place.
It has nothing to do with him. If Sect Leader Jiang hadn't told him about it this morning, he wouldn't have known about it.
"You'll know when you get there. Asking me won't help," Gu Heng replied.
Whether the Primordial Secret Palace is a good sight or not, we'll know when we get there. So many cultivators have come; it must be a beautiful place. As for the dangers of healing...
Although Jiang Lingyun assured him that there was no danger to mortals, Gu Heng still decided that if things didn't look right, he would just observe from a distance and not go in.
Anyway, we're already here.
If he doesn't let Qin Yiyao see that so-called "spectacle" with her own eyes, who knows what she'll say about him later.
Qin Yiyao nodded as if she had just realized something, her face clearly saying "I understand you".
She knew that this ancient secret palace must have been summoned by her good master!
Although I don't know how he did it, don't ask. If you do, it's an act of divine intervention. Mortals shouldn't try to find out.
As for the reason for summoning it... it must be to "test" himself!
Being his apprentice doesn't mean you can just stay cooped up in the clinic all day like him, eating and sleeping all the time. Although Qin Yiyao usually leaves tasks like washing her own clothes to Gu Heng, she's happy to take any challenges seriously.
Besides, since Master has no complaints about washing clothes.
Then you can let him wash it indefinitely!
In the past, those who had access to Qin Yiyao's personal clothing were the female officials she trusted most and cultivated the most!
Moreover, back when she sat atop the imperial palace, wielding the power of an empress, rumors circulated that someone was offering a high price to steal a garment she had worn...
Although nobody dares to take this kind of order.
