Chapter 18 Feng Qing Palace
Chunxiang Tower, Lanwei Courtyard.

In the early morning, just as the sky was turning pale, Miss Yao'er, wearing a long skirt, was sitting in front of a bronze mirror, combing her hair.

After a night of love, her temperament changed dramatically, like a sharp sword.

"Congratulations, Miss. You have been dormant in this filthy place for two years. Today you have finally succeeded, just like a trapped dragon ascending to heaven. You have finally escaped from the cage."

The pretty maid said happily.

There was no joy on Miss Yao'er's face. She put down the comb and silently picked up a piece of lip balm and held it in her mouth.

The maid behind her helped her put on a long dress and reminded her, "It's almost dawn, it's time to leave."

Miss Yaoer stood up, turned to look at the man who was still sleeping on the bed, leaned down, and kissed him lightly on the lips.

"I have a deep blood feud. I will lend you my power today. When I kill my enemy in the future, I will come back to repay you for your kindness."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

As soon as the two women left, a dark shadow quietly entered the room. He quickly discovered that something was wrong with Gu Mingchuan on the bed. Without daring to delay, he wrapped him in a quilt, carried him on his shoulders, and left.

……

When Gu Mingchuan woke up, he felt something was wrong. His dantian was empty.

He suddenly woke up, "Where is my true energy?"

All the true energy disappeared without a trace.

This surprise was no small matter.

At this time, a voice came, "Don't look at it anymore, you have lost all your cultivation and have become a useless person."

Gu Mingchuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was the noble lady from the Marquis' Mansion. He asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Wang Xining sneered, "Lust is like a sword hanging over your head. Do you really think such a good fortune will fall from the sky?"

Gu Mingchuan reacted after hearing her words, "You mean, it was Miss Yao'er? She took my essence?"

He recalled.

Something was indeed wrong with what happened last night. He only remembered that he fought until midnight and lost consciousness when he reached the climax.

Wang Xining said, "That's not just an ordinary method of collecting essence. If I'm guessing correctly, that Miss Yao'er should be the heir of Fengqing Palace."

"Feng Qing Palace?" Zhou Ruxuan asked, "What kind of sect is this?"

Wang Xining said, "This is a hidden sect that keeps a low profile and is unknown to the world. All the disciples of Fengqing Palace are women, and the skills they practice are extremely special."

"The technique that this Miss Yao'er practices is called the 'Feather Transformation Technique'. It requires extremely high talent to master, and the conditions for practicing are also extremely strict."

"In the introductory stage of this technique, you cannot cultivate any true energy. You only form a seed in your body. Then, you find a dirty place to lie dormant. When the seed in your body matures, you find a man to consummate the relationship with, and take away his true energy and foundation. Then you break out of the cocoon and fly into the sky."

Wang Xining snorted coldly when he said this, "Only an ignorant country bumpkin like you would fall for this kind of trick. No noble family member would touch a chaste prostitute who keeps her chastity in a brothel."

Gu Mingchuan was greatly enlightened by what he heard.

There is such a magical skill in this world.

From what she said, Feng Qing Palace has done many things like this, and those aristocratic families and sects have become prepared and will not be fooled like this.

Therefore, the disciples of Fengqing Palace turned their attention to a small place like Longming Mansion, but they happened to run into him.

Sure enough, women who come to you on their own initiative all have ulterior motives.

The same is true of this world.

Gu Mingchuan said, "I hope the young lady can keep it secret for me and not let this matter out."

Wang Xining looked at him with some pity and said, "Okay."

The foundation of the person has been taken away by the "Yuhua Divine Art" and he has been completely ruined.

……

A few days later, after Wang Xining had completed learning the "Xuanshui Zhengong", he left Minglong City.

"Finally gone."

Gu Mingchuan let out a long sigh, returned home and opened the panel.

[You have reached the sixth level. Do you want to make the sixth oath? ]

This tip has been lingering in front of my eyes for a few days.

Now, I can finally upgrade.

"Yes."

Gu Mingchuan made a vow, "I will never sit on that gaming chair at home again!"

After saying that, he closed his eyes in some pain.

He bought that gaming chair after he received his first month’s salary after starting to work. He has been using it for several years and has been reluctant to throw it away even after moving several times.

He had also sat on chairs that his colleagues had bought for thousands of dollars, but he felt that they were not as comfortable as his gaming chair that cost only a few hundred dollars.

【Name: Gu Mingchuan】

[Level: Level 6]

[Rule 2: Do not play the chicken game, difficulty level ]

[Commandment 5: Don’t drink fat house happy water, difficulty level ]

[Commandment three: do not smoke Hongtashan cigarettes, difficulty level 5]

[Commandment 6: Do not watch Mikami-sensei’s videos, difficulty level ]

[Commandment 2: Don’t eat KFC, difficulty level ]

[Commandment Six: Don’t sit on that gaming chair, difficulty level 7]

[Discipline Points: 89668 (Note: Observe the precepts for one day and gain discipline points*difficulty coefficient)]

[Kung Fu: The sixth level of "Red Dust Crossing Method" (36/25000), the eighth level of Xuanshui True Skill (-18742/50000+)]

[Martial Arts: Five Elements Boxing (Mastery (15/500+), Liaoyun Sword Skill (Mastery), Breaking Dawn Sword Skill (Beginner (1000/1000)]

Close to 90,000 points!
When Gu Mingchuan saw this number, he felt relieved that the gaming chair was not sacrificed in vain.

At this time, his "Xuanshui Zhengong" showed an abnormal state, and his experience value was more than negative 18,000.

If you do some mental arithmetic, you will know that this number is roughly the sum of his total from the first to the seventh levels.

This means that as long as he adds back the discipline points, his cultivation will be restored. Therefore, he was not panicked at all, just waiting for Wang Xining to leave, and he would be able to recover in a moment.

"let's start."

Gu Mingchuan directly added 19,000 discipline points.

Suddenly, true energy began to emerge in his empty dantian.

In a moment, the Dantian became full again and returned to its peak state.

"One thousand nine hundred discipline points, Miss Yao'er, I will settle this account with you later."

Gu Mingchuan was so angry that his teeth were itching. The price of this shot was a bit too high.

If he didn't have the golden finger, he would be ruined.

Gu Mingchuan sat cross-legged on the bed and circulated his Qi around his body.

My strength has just been restored, so it is not advisable to make further breakthroughs, lest my body cannot bear it.

……

On the next day, Gu Mingchuan woke up in the morning and directly added 50,000 discipline points to "Xuan Shui Zhengong".

All of a sudden, a huge amount of true energy emerged from the body, opening up several acupoints like a hot knife through butter and penetrating the last meridian.

Ninth level of true Qi, done!

He sat cross-legged on the bed, constantly circulating the Qi in his body to harmonize the Qi in his body.

After the breakthrough, his true energy increased several times again.
Now, if he were to face Li Mansong again, he would only need one strike of the sword to knock him off the ring.

He opened his eyes, and the column for martial arts had changed to [Xuanshui Zhengong Ninth Level (0/200000+)].

"Five zeros, which means that to break through to the Gangyuan realm, you need 200,000 discipline points."

Now he can obtain 864 discipline points a day.

Even if no new vows were made, it would only take more than two hundred days.

“It’s still too slow.”

Gu Mingchuan thought to himself, looking at the remaining 21790 discipline points, and decided to keep them for now.

……

During breakfast, Su Lingshuang saw that Gu Mingchuan looked troubled, and said reluctantly, "Erlang, although Miss Yao'er is gone, it's not like we won't see each other again in the future."

Gu Mingchuan looked up at her and couldn't help wanting to laugh, but he held it back and responded, "Yeah."

Chunxianglou announced to the public that Miss Yaoer had redeemed herself and had left Minglong Mansion.

This has become the biggest news in Minglong City recently.

It is normal for Su Lingshuang to have such a misunderstanding.

In fact, he was thinking about which hobby he should sacrifice next time so that he could accumulate 200,000 discipline points as soon as possible and break through to the Gangyuan realm.

……

After a meal.

Gu Mingchuan went to the Gu family's old house. He had not received his reward yet. The clan leader said that whoever won first place could choose any unique skill to learn.

"Third Brother!"

As soon as he entered the gate, he heard someone calling behind him. It was the talkative Gu Mingjie.

"Third brother, did you redeem Miss Yao'er?"

"Everyone is saying that you secretly redeemed the person."

"I heard that Li Mansong was devastated after losing to you and got drunk in the restaurant every day. The entire Li family is very hostile to you. You must be careful when you meet the Li family in the future..."

"when--"

Suddenly, a bell rang from the back of the mountain, "Ding, ding, ding——"

It rang seven times in a row.

Gu Mingjie's face changed drastically, and he said in a trembling voice, "Oh no...something...something big happened!"

Gu Mingchuan also remembered that the bell in the back mountain would not ring easily. Once it rang, it must mean something big had happened.

Seven consecutive rings mean that an important person in the family has died.

Soon, news came.

The seventh elder died.

When Gu Mingjie heard the news, his face turned pale and he looked as if the sky had fallen.

Gu Mingchuan also understood the seriousness of the matter.

The current Gu family is supported by two people, one is the clan leader Gu Yunze, and the other is the seventh elder. Both of them have the cultivation level of Gangyuan Seventh Layer.

With the two of them around, the Gu family can survive.

Now, the death of the Seventh Elder means that the Gu family has lost a pillar.

It can be said that half the sky has fallen.

Gu Mingchuan’s first reaction was, could it be the Li family who did it?
Or, the Qinglong Gang?
Recently, the Gu family has only had conflicts with these two families, and both of them have the ability to kill the Seventh Elder.

"Fuck, if that's true, doesn't that mean I was the one who killed the Seventh Elder?"

He offended both the Qinglong Gang and the Li family.

Gu Mingchuan felt a strong sense of urgency in his heart. He did not stop and went straight to Qianlong Hall.

He found Gu Wendi and asked for the reward.

Gu Wendi looked serious and without further ado, he took out three secret books and let him choose.

Three secret books, one is "Seven Star Sword Technique", one is "Earth Shaking Fist Technique", and one is "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art".

Gu Mingchuan skipped the first book. With the Dawn Sword Technique already under his belt, there was no need to practice the Seven Star Sword Technique.

After hesitating for a while between the last two secret books, he chose "The Indestructible Vajra Divine Art". As the name suggests, this is a body-building technique.
