Chapter 164 Mid-stage Grandmaster
Chapter 164 Mid-stage Grandmaster
Gu Qianbei and Cheng Lingsu embarked on their journey towards the Valley of Heartbreak.
The Valley of Heartbreak is not far from Xiangyang, but it is quite remote.
Fortunately, with the Beggars' Sect as an intelligence network, finding their location wasn't too difficult.
Although the Valley of Heartbreak is isolated from the world, the people inside still need to come out to buy things.
Pay attention to these details, and you will find the Valley of Heartbreak.
As early as when he learned that he needed to find the Love Flower, Gu Qianbei asked Huang Rong to keep an eye out for information in this regard. Therefore, he had already figured out the location of the Valley of Heartbreak by now.
"Love Flower? I've heard that this magical flower comes from India and is almost never seen in China."
Unexpectedly, the flower that Young Master Gu was looking for was the Love Flower.
Cheng Lingsu showed some surprise after hearing Gu Qianbei's purpose.
"I only heard about this place by chance."
I need to brew a kind of wine, which requires the Love Flower, so I need to make this trip.
Although this love flower is highly poisonous, it also has many wonderful uses.
"Perhaps Miss Lingsu could also pick some and see if she could research new elixirs."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Lingsu seemed to ponder for a moment, then smiled and said, "It is indeed worth a try."
It is said that once poisoned by the Love Flower, one cannot feel love. Once one does, the poison penetrates to the lungs and internal organs, requiring a special antidote to survive.
Such a potent poison is worthy of study for those of us who study medicine.
"That's exactly right."
Gu Qianbei smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.
At that moment, Gu Qianbei rode Wuzhui, while Cheng Lingsu rode another red horse, and the two headed towards the Valley of Heartbreak together.
Night falls.
The two then spent the night in the mountains and forests.
Under the dark night sky, the campfire flickered, illuminating the two people's faces.
"Miss Lingsu, this wine is called Jade Bee Beauty Wine, and it is a wine that I recently brewed."
It has beauty and skin-nourishing effects; you might want to give it a try.
Gu Qianbei poured a cup of Jade Bee Nourishing Wine and handed it to Cheng Lingsu.
Cheng Lingsu took the wine with surprise, her curiosity growing as she looked at the clear, pale yellow liquid.
"This wine can beautify the skin and improve complexion? Are you serious, Young Master Gu?"
"Of course it's true. Miss Lingsu, you'll know how wonderful it is once you try it."
Gu Qianbei smiled faintly.
Upon hearing Gu Qianbei's words, Cheng Lingsu immediately drank it all in one gulp.
The moment she drank it, Cheng Lingsu felt the wine transform into a wondrous power, nourishing her meridians, especially her skin.
She took out the mirror she always carried with her and was surprised to find that her face was much fairer.
"This...is truly incredible. Young Master Gu, your wine surpasses most of the world's finest elixirs."
Cheng Lingsu savored the wine she had just tasted, trying to analyze its ingredients.
However, she could only barely make out some of it and could not fully analyze it.
"This wine is even more effective with long-term consumption. If Miss Lingsu likes it, I'll give you some."
"Such a treasure must be extremely precious; I, Ling Su, am unworthy to receive it."
In Cheng Lingsu's opinion, such a wonderful wine with such amazing effects must have been very expensive to make, and she was really embarrassed to accept it.
"It's just a pot of wine, Miss Lingsu, you don't need to be so polite."
I'll brew more after I finish drinking it.
Moreover, fine wine paired with a beautiful woman is the perfect match.
Gu Qianbei said with a smile.
Cheng Lingsu blushed immediately and lowered her head, saying, "Young master is too kind. How could Lingsu be considered a beauty?"
"Haha, Miss Lingsu is being too modest."
Not to mention your good looks, your charm alone surpasses that of thousands of beauties in the world.
If some people don't know how to appreciate it, that's their problem, not the girl's.
Gu Qianbei said softly.
Thinking about how Hu Fei chose Yuan Ziyi instead of Cheng Lingsu in the original story, Gu Qianbei felt that this person really had no taste.
Cheng Lingsu is a hundred or a thousand times better than Yuan Ziyi.
Cheng Lingsu felt a warmth in her heart as she looked at Gu Qianbei praising her.
This was the first time anyone had said these things to her.
She was thin and pale from a young age. Although she has improved in recent years, she still often feels inferior.
Now, after being enlightened by Gu Qianbei's words, he felt that the gloom in his heart had completely disappeared.
"Thank you, Mr. Gu."
"We're already so familiar with each other, there's no need to be so polite."
"Then I'll call you Brother Gu from now on."
"Okay, then I'll call you Ling Su."
"Um."
The two smiled at each other, and the darkness seemed to be warmed up a bit more.
After chatting for a while, Gu Qianbei also drank a cup of Jade Bee Nourishing Wine.
He hasn't tasted the wine yet since it was made.
Although he was a man, he wanted to try the idea that drinking alcohol could improve his appearance.
After taking a sip, I could taste a hint of honey sweetness, followed by a refreshing aroma of wine.
This wine is very smooth; it feels like I can drink as much as I want without getting drunk.
"It is indeed good wine."
Gu Qianbei sighed inwardly, then used the Nine Heavens Wine Transformation Technique to convert the power of the wine into internal energy.
With this turn, his internal energy reached its critical point once again.
Is another breakthrough imminent?
Gu Qianbei's eyes lit up; he wasn't surprised at all.
It's been some time since his last breakthrough, and he's already brewed two new types of wine. It's time for him to break through.
Gu Qianbei sat cross-legged, circulated the Golden Light Mantra, and channeled his inner energy into his dantian.
"A breakthrough?"
Cheng Lingsu was surprised to see this.
But she quickly realized what was happening and looked around warily to avoid anything disturbing Gu Qianbei's breakthrough.
After all, such a dazzling golden light bursting forth in the darkness of night is hard not to attract the attention of people and animals.
"Brother Gu's martial arts skills are truly remarkable; he actually managed to cause such a commotion."
Cheng Lingsu discovered that the golden light on Gu Qianbei's body was actually emitting wisps of white electric arcs, making it look extremely imposing.
That was no longer martial arts from the human realm.
Just then, a figure suddenly swept past from not far away and landed not far from Cheng Lingsu and Gu Qianbei.
"who!"
Cheng Lingsu looked at the newcomer with a wary expression.
The newcomer was dressed in slovenly clothes, with a full head of white hair, but his face wore an innocent, childlike expression, as if he had discovered some novel toy.
"This is so fun! How come this person is emitting such a huge golden light? What kind of magic is it?"
I've never seen this kind of martial art before.
Little girl, don't be afraid. I mean no harm. I just came here out of curiosity when I saw this golden light.
"This kid's got potential! He's so young and already on his way to the mid-stage of Grandmaster. He's a promising talent."
The visitor turned out to be Zhou Botong, the eccentric old man of the Quanzhen Sect, a man with a pure heart who played around in the martial world.
It turned out that he had been sleeping not far away when he suddenly saw the golden light shooting into the sky and was immediately attracted by it.
I thought it was some kind of treasure, but it turns out someone broke through here.
However, he had never seen such a breakthrough before.
"Old rascal? You're Zhou Botong?"
Cheng Lingsu had also heard of the Old Rascal's name, and upon hearing him say this, she immediately came up with the name.
"Not bad, not bad, I am Zhou Botong. I didn't expect that you, a young lady, would be so knowledgeable at such a young age, and even know who I am, the Old Urchin Zhou Botong."
"Then tell me quickly, what kind of kung fu does this kid practice? It looks so fun!"
