Primordial Qi

Chapter 218 Brother and Sister

In the early morning, the sun came out again. Gu Chenyu walked out of the room and stretched. Two figures immediately appeared beside him. A black shadow jumped out from behind the palace plaque and circled around Gu Chenyu excitedly.

"Haha, thank you two brothers for protecting me."

Gu Chenyu had a smile on his face, and was obviously in a good mood.

Xiao Tian and Lin Xiu both clasped their fists and said, "Brother, your strength has improved again. Congratulations!"

"Improved strength? Improved what? My cultivation has even regressed a little bit."

"Ok?"

"Uh."

Carefully examining the spiritual power in Gu Chenyu's hands, he found that his aura had weakened a bit. Compared with his previous strength, it had indeed decreased a lot.

"What happened? Did the breakthrough fail?"

Xiao Tian was puzzled. Logically speaking, with Gu Chenyu's physical fitness, it was impossible for him to fail in a breakthrough. His foundation was very good, and if he forced a breakthrough, his realm would at most be superficial. How could he fall?

"Brother, what happened?"

Lin Xiu stepped forward. The movement before was definitely not an illusion. The momentum was almost catching up with the movement of breaking through the monarch realm.

Gu Chenyu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Do you still remember the Five Elements Holy Pill?"

"Is this something Zhou Youwei used to fool us?" Lin Xiu frowned.

“The grade of that thing is not low, but unfortunately its effect is really not that good.” Xiao Tian smiled. There are plenty of ways to complete the five elements. What’s the point of asking for a Five Elements Holy Body? Those have been waste bodies since ancient times and are everywhere in the streets of the Dawu Dynasty.

"But why did you mention this pill?" Lin Xiu asked.

Gu Chenyu pointed at Erhei and said helplessly, "It's Erhei. That thing stole it."

Xiao Tian's pupils shrank. Er Gouzi is so strong? He can even steal this.

There was no surprise in Lin Xiu's eyes. In fact, he had guessed about 70% of it. No one knew who Erhei learned this habit of stealing from, but he always took advantage of it when he saw good things.

"That pill has no effect on me. I originally have five elements spiritual roots. It has no effect other than making my spiritual roots a little stronger."

Gu Chenyu shook his head, feeling very confused. The effect of the elixir was indeed so poor. The powerful spiritual power was also locked inside the body and was basically useless.

"Alas, that's true. After completing the five elements and entering the monarch realm, the spiritual roots will have no advantage in the future. Everyone has five elements, so why do we need that pill? As for the peak of the monarch realm, it is really just a matter of time for us."

Xiao Tian felt regretful, as he thought Gu Chenyu had broken through, but he didn't expect that he was given a useless amplification, and it seemed that he would be involved in cause and effect with that prince.

Lin Xiu also saw the problem and looked at Gu Chenyu. He even suspected that Gu Chenyu would work for that person for this. If that happened, the three brothers would have no choice but to help her win the throne.

"Don't look at me like that. Erhei is smooth. Nothing changes when I take a bite. It's almost impossible to find us."

"What should His Highness do?" Lin Xiu asked.

"Who cares if she lives or dies?" Gu Chenyu smiled faintly. He didn't care.

The three of them laughed and thought it would be best not to get involved in this kind of cause and effect, so they found a place to drink and eat together.

The Qingming Sect held another grand banquet. An extraordinary prince came to the sect. He was currently the youngest prince, but the one with the fastest cultivation improvement. He had reached the peak of the celestial realm in just over a hundred years. If he had not given birth to several princesses later, he would have been the most dazzling young prince.

"His Highness Zhou Yuan's visit to our Qingming Sect is truly an honor. Come, drink this cup to its fullest." Wang Xuanzhi toasted with a smile. This man is much more powerful than Zhou Youwei, and it is only a matter of time for him to step into the monarch realm.

"I accept the kind words of Master Wang. Today, I passed by your sect, so I naturally wanted to come and take a look. I heard that your sect has produced three geniuses. I wonder if I can meet them?"

Zhou Yuan stated the purpose of his trip without any concealment. Wang Xuanzhi was stunned. Two princes came to Qingming Sect to snatch people. Could it be that they were really going to start a fight for the throne?

"Haha, this is unfortunate. Those three announced that they would be in seclusion some time ago. They are probably trying to reach the middle stage of the Heavenly Man Realm. We can't let anyone out by force."

Wang Xuanzhi naturally didn't want them to get involved in these messes. They were just a Xuan-level sect, and it wouldn't be a big deal if three less geniuses participated in the fight for the throne. Naturally, he was unwilling to push them into the fire pit.

Zhou Yuan frowned. Something was wrong. He remembered someone bullying children in Nanxun City some time ago. Why did he want to go into seclusion so soon? Was he deliberately avoiding him? But where did they get the news?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Zhou Yuan asked, "I remember meeting a genius from your sect some time ago. He didn't look like he was going into seclusion. Could it be that the headmaster didn't want them to see me?"

Wang Xuanzhi immediately laughed, stroked his beard, and bowed to Zhou Yuan: "Of course not, but they are indeed in seclusion."

"Oh?"

Zhou Yuan raised his eyebrows, a little curious. The head of a sect would not try to fool him, which only meant that there was something else going on.

"Your Highness, you may not know that the three brothers have gained insights and are indeed practicing together in seclusion. However, there is one thing that may make Your Highness happy. There is an acquaintance here. Please move to the main peak to meet him."

Zhou Yuan was curious. Acquaintances? There were indeed many people he knew in Nanzhou, but he couldn't stay in Qingming Sect all this time, right?

At the same time, the three people who were supposed to be in seclusion as Wang Xuanzhi mentioned were enjoying the hot springs with their eyes closed. Erhei was also soaking in it with a towel on his head. This was all taught by Gu Chenyu...

"Brother, why do I feel a chill on my back?"

"You know what, I have some, too."

"Could it be that karma has come knocking on my door?"

"Oh, never mind. I'll just enjoy myself first. I'm too lazy to care if the ancestor comes."

The three of them were leisurely soaking in the hot spring. Xiao Tian added some spiritual medicine from time to time, so that they could absorb the medicinal power while soaking in the hot spring and did not waste any time for cultivation.

"Brother Zhou Yuan, long time no see." Zhou Youwei spoke, seemingly not surprised by his arrival.

The door slowly opened, and there was a hint of displeasure on Zhou Yuan's face. It turned out that someone had got there first. No wonder those three had hidden. It was unknown whether it was because they were persuaded by her words.

But after just a moment, he became extremely enthusiastic and began to ask Zhou Youwei about her well-being. He happily called Youwei "sister Youwei" like a brother who doted on his sister.

"Haha, since the two Your Highnesses want to talk about personal matters, I will take my leave first."

Wang Xuanzhi bowed, then closed the door and left immediately. He smiled secretly in his heart. Instead of torturing himself, it would be better to let these two meet. He wanted to see what sparks these two could create.

This pair of siblings each have their own ulterior motives. If they were to meet, they might both leave Qingming Sect in anger, which would allow him to have a peaceful life. He didn't want to cause chaos in the sect.

"My dear sister, why are you here? Did you know I was coming, so you came here to wait for me?"

"Royal brother, I heard that there were three geniuses here, so I knew that you might come here, so I just waited for you here, and I also wanted to see if I could recruit those three people for you."

"Oh? So my sister is here to help me." Zhou Yuan smiled faintly. Could it be that his sister is preparing to join him?

"Of course. My sister is the youngest. How can I not find a backer as soon as possible? Brother Zhou Yuan, are you willing to be my backer?"

"Hahaha, of course I'm willing to do that."

Zhou Yuan laughed. He was extremely conceited. In addition to his talent, he was more confident in himself. As for Zhou Youwei, at such a young age, he was just a kid who hadn't even grown all his hair yet.

Seeing that she was thinking of joining him, Zhou Yuan felt a lot more relaxed. She was also the owner of the imperial dragon energy and would have the opportunity to sit in that position in the future, as long as she was not on the opposite side of him.

"Please, I will accompany you to get drunk today."

"Hahaha, okay, let's drink."
