It was another spring night.

This time it wasn't a year, but it made his legs weaker than the previous year.

During the previous year, there was cultivation, equivalent to meditation and rest, and there were breakthroughs in realm, which replenished his energy.

But this time, there was nothing.

Only evenly matched opponents.

The battlefield changed multiple times.

He defeated Huang Yang's army, but she also left him without any supplies.

In the end, both sides were injured.

Gu Chi slept until noon the next day before waking up.

Sunlight leaked through the gaps in the door, shining on the carpet in patches, dazzling his eyes.

Huang Yang was no longer in his arms.

Gu Chi stared at the ceiling for a while, then got dressed and got out of bed.

He stretched lazily, walked past the screen, and immediately noticed the jade bottle and a small box on the table.

Huang Yang still didn't accept the Enlightenment Pill.

Instead, there was an extra box, and when he opened it, it was filled with spirit stones and many blue spirit jade.

Gu Chi looked at these translucent "experience points" and his mind surged, taking a while to calm down.

There was no note on the table, so Gu Chi pushed open the door.

As expected, there was someone waiting for him in the courtyard.

But it wasn't a disciple from Qihuang Mountain, it was Qing Chan.

"Oh, young master, you're awake?" Qing Chan was watering the flowers and plants in the courtyard. When she saw Gu Chi coming out, she immediately put down the watering can and ran to him with a smile. "Are you hungry, young master? What would you like to eat? Qing Chan will get it from the kitchen."

"Not for now." Gu Chi shook his head and asked, "Did the Holy Maiden leave any message?"

"Yes." Qing Chan said, "The Holy Maiden said she will handle the affairs of Qihuang Mountain on behalf of the Divine Maiden and will be back later. She asked you to cultivate using the spirit stones in the box, and if you feel bored, you can also take a walk around the Divine Maiden Peak. The scenery there is beautiful... um, I can vouch for that!"

Qing Chan raised her small hand.

Today, when she went up the mountain, Hong Yuan took her to many places to play, and she was amazed by the mountains and waters of the Divine Maiden Peak.

The Divine Maiden Peak was much more beautiful than the scenery along the way. The vegetation was lush, the birds chirped like bells, and there was a hot spring in the back mountain called "Yaochi". The mist rising from it lingered in the forest, giving off a fairy-like aura, even more beautiful than the earthly paradise described in books.

"It is said that soaking in Yaochi can enhance cultivation." Qing Chan said.

Soaking in a bath can increase cultivation?

Such a good thing?

Qing Chan continued, "Unfortunately, young master can't go there."

Gu Chi: "?"

"Why?"

Qing Chan: "Because Qihuang Mountain disciples often bathe in Yaochi."

Gu Chi: "..."

Then it's fine.

Qing Chan blinked and said, "But since the Holy Maiden likes you so much, if you talk to her, there should be a chance."

Gu Chi: "...Let's talk about it later."

Although the natural hot spring was flowing and there was no need to worry about changing the water, it was still a place for girls to take a bath. It was not appropriate for him, a grown man, to go there.

It would be better to ask Huang Yang if there is a Yaochi for men.

After chatting with Qing Chan for a while, Gu Chi returned to his room.

The image of the girl who dared to love and hate yesterday appeared in his mind, making Gu Chi laugh.

To be honest, he didn't expect Huang Yang to be willing to marry him, a person with only a year and a half of life left. But since they were going to pretend, there was no need to be so clear about it.

There were a lot of spirit stones in this box.

Most of them were spirit jade, and one piece of spirit jade could provide 100 experience points, equivalent to a hundred spirit stones.

Gu Chi reached into the box, and his cultivation soared instantly.

He directly broke through to the Transcendent Realm, reaching the Transcendent Realm.

【Obtained full attribute bonus: 4 (total: 10)】

Gu Chi had always been puzzled about one thing. It seemed that there was no special effect when players broke through realms?

Let's take a look at the personal panel.

According to the setting of scarce cultivation resources in Northern Rivers, even if he robbed all the remaining spirit stones from the other eight sects, it might not be enough.

By evening, Huang Yang came back after finishing her tasks, confirming his judgment.

"These are all the spirit stones I can access." Huang Yang knew that Gu Chi wanted to improve his cultivation. "If it's not enough, I can help you get more when my mother comes out of seclusion, but it may not be much."

Qihuang Mountain also had disciples to support, and even if the Divine Maiden was grateful for Gu Chi's Enlightenment Pill, she couldn't take out all the spirit stones. The one-third that she gave to Gu Chi was already the limit for Qihuang Mountain, and more would affect the operation of the sect.

Unless they used the second Enlightenment Pill to exchange.

That's why Huang Yang didn't take the small jade bottle.

There were three Enlightenment Pills in total, and the one Gu Chi kept couldn't be touched. If they were to be used, it could only be this one.

"No need, let's wait for the Spirit Vein." Gu Chi looked at the girl with a gentle gaze. "You should consider yourself more."

Huang Yang shook her head. "No rush, it's not too late for me to consider myself after you die."

Gu Chi: "..."

Huang Yang asked, "You just mentioned the Spirit Vein?"

Gu Chi nodded. "There should be a Spirit Vein appearing within a year."

Based on the number of spirit stones Huang Yang revealed, the current inventory of the Nine Sects and the Qianyuan Dynasty was only about six million experience points, not enough for a player to reach the Saint Realm.

If the highest level is only the Transcendent Realm, then there is no need for the Enlightenment Pill to appear in the Secret Realm.

So Gu Chi believed that even if there was no Spirit Vein, there would be a plot that greatly increased players' cultivation in the future.

Of course, this was just speculation and might not be accurate.

"If there isn't, then forget what I said." Gu Chi added.

Huang Yang: "..."

"Are you going to participate in the Sword Trial in the Ten Continents?" Huang Yang could feel that the man in front of her had already broken through to the Transcendent Realm, but she didn't think it had much to do with the spirit stones.

Her contribution was the greatest.Gu Chi said, "Let's go."

He naturally couldn't miss the opportunity to gain reputation.

Without Huang Yang's help, he might have been wary of Mu Wanqing, but now his Dao Yun limit had been raised to 85. As long as Mu Wanqing hadn't reached the Saint realm, he was confident he could take her down.

There was still a month left until the Sword Trial of the Ten Continents.

In the following days, Gu Chi's reputation began to rise.

The news from the Gentleman's Pavilion was having an effect, his score was increasing faster day by day.

With a beautiful woman by his side, he would stroll through the small woods with Huang Yang when he had nothing to do. Gu Chi was in a great mood, once again experiencing the joy of cultivation he had once felt in his dreams.

But not everyone was in such a good mood.

Capital City, Demon-Hunting Bureau.

Yin Shan looked at the portrait in the report, his face as black as coal.

He didn't care who the Holy Maiden had married, nor was he interested in who the princess liked. But someone had told him that this man named Gu Changge was the same Mountain Ghost Sect ancestor who had destroyed the Jiangyan Town branch of the Demon-Hunting Bureau.

A year and a half had passed, and the bounty orders in the cities of the Frontier State had been withdrawn, but Yin Shan had never forgotten this incident, nor could he.

This was the first time the Demon-Hunting Bureau had suffered such humiliation since its establishment.

"Do you think I can't touch you just because you're affiliated with Qihuang Mountain?"

"Someone!"

"Yes! What does the Sub-authorities need?"

"Inform Xu Zibai, gather the troops, prepare to go to Qihuang Mountain to arrest people!"

"Yes!"
