Chapter 13 of the First Person
Na'er looked at Qian Gu Chenran with tears in her eyes.
"Ha! Don't think this is the end of it. You'll have to pay for it by working like a slave for me from now on."
Na'er looked at the surging ancient dust again and laughed.
Before the two could choose their souls, breakfast was served one after another.
"Let's eat!"
"Ok!"
Chapter 29 Physically in Tang Sect, but Heart Abroad
Seeing Qian Gu Chenran and Na'er's fierce eyes and their ravenous eating, the waiter next to them felt a strange urge to have diarrhea.
Before long, Qian Gu Chen Ran and Na Er slumped contentedly in their chairs and looked at the staff waiting beside them, "Two glasses of special juice, please."
With a special juice in hand, the two of them, Qian Gu Chen Ran, led Na Er to the room inside the Spirit Pagoda where the staff selected their souls.
The staff inside perked up immediately upon seeing that the visitor was the old tower master's most beloved grandson. If they could behave well in front of him, promotions and wealth would be guaranteed.
"Na'er, test your mental strength first."
Looking at the number 63 displayed on the screen, Qian Gu Chenran nodded. Not bad, it's almost a fraction of his own mental strength.
Hearing the praise from the staff around her, Na'er excitedly ran towards Qian Gu Chenran, shouting, "Boss, boss! Aren't I amazing!"
Qian Gu Chenran touched his chin. "Quite good, almost a fraction of what I made last time."
A fraction of a cent? Na'er tilted her head and looked at Qian Gu Chenran. Was her boss really that powerful?
“Select out all the hundred-year-old dragon souls with spatial attributes.”
Looking at the dazzling array of spirits, Na'er once again felt fortunate to have met Boss Chenran and joined the Spirit Pagoda.
On the way here, I heard from Boss Chenran that in Shrek Academy, even geniuses like her have to work as part-time students, have to pay for food, and live in dilapidated wooden houses without even a bathroom.
Na'er broke out in a cold sweat just thinking about that scene.
After a long time, Na'er chose a True Dragon Soul Spirit, the Holy Flame Dragon, which had mutated to have spatial attributes.
After seeing Na'er choose her soul spirit, Qian Gu Chen Ran took her back home.
Qian Gu Qingfeng just sent him a message saying that Mu Ye is already waiting for him at home.
Upon entering the house, seeing the enormous pot—at least nine meters long and five meters deep—placed in the garden, Qian Gu Chen Ran immediately broke out in a cold sweat. "No way, is he going to be cooked in this iron pot?!"
"Disciple, you're back! Come here. Today, your master will begin teaching you the Flawless Golden Body technique of our Body Sect. Hurry up and get in the pot!"
Looking at Mu Ye's healthy smile, Qian Gu Chen Ran had the thought of running away for the first time.
Na'er saw that the large pot wasn't for stewing vegetables, but for stewing her boss. She immediately summoned her Silver Dragon Spear and prepared to stand in front of Qian Gu Chen Ran.
"Boss, a man's life depends on loyalty and righteousness. Boss, you run first, I'll hold them off here."
"Na'er!"
"Boss!"
"Please step aside. This is my master, Mu Ye, the current sect master of the Body Sect. He won't harm me."
Na'er shook her head firmly. You can't judge a book by its cover; her boss was still too young. In terms of wisdom, he couldn't compare to her, the embodiment of wisdom.
"His cooking is the best in the world."
"Boss, you'd better suffer a bit! I'm going upstairs to absorb soul spirits."
Upon hearing that the other party was a chef, Na'er immediately performed a face-changing act for the master and apprentice.
After Na'er left, only the master and apprentice remained.
The master and disciple looked at each other, and Mu Ye spoke first, "Don't worry, disciple, your master has experience in stewing people."
Upon hearing this, Qian Gu Chen Ran took a deep breath, took a running start, and jumped directly into the pot.
Mu Ye watched this scene with satisfaction. He had watched Chen Ran grow up since he was a child. He was much better than his senior brother.
Back then, Aruheng absolutely refused to get into the pot, and in the end, he had to give Aruheng his favorite slap in the face before the other person would willingly get into the pot.
As soon as it entered the pot, every pore on Qian Gu Chen Ran's body eagerly absorbed the various essences in the medicinal bath.
As he sank to the bottom of the pot, a protective shield with a diameter of about two meters rose up.
"Chen Ran, meditate in place. Remember the route my soul power will take within your body in a moment."
Upon hearing Mu Ye's voice, Qian Gu Chen Ran immediately entered a meditative state. Sensing the flow of Mu Ye's soul power within his body, Qian Gu Chen Ran followed suit and began to practice his own method.
Mu Ye observed Qian Gu Chen Ran's condition through the screen and was completely shocked.
I only ran it once, but my little apprentice memorized it all and ran it himself.
Thinking of the hardships he endured teaching Aruheng, Teacher Mu clenched his fists. Extra practice, absolutely necessary. His junior brother was working so hard; he, as the senior, needed to set a good example.
Aruheng, who was loafing around at the Blacksmiths' Association, suddenly sneezed loudly. "Ah! Ah! Achoo!"
"Could it be that Master misses me?"
Makino checked the time, then sat down in place and stood guard in front of the large pot.
Don't underestimate this large pot. Not only is it made of soul-forged grade metal, but it's also equipped with an eighth-level soul tool core. In a sense, it can also be considered an eighth-level soul tool, just not as refined as a normal eighth-level soul tool.
At this moment, Xia Zhengleng and Qian Gu Qingfeng, who had been hiding in the shadows, also revealed themselves.
Xia Zheng looked at the large pot with a heavy heart. The couple had a son late in life and had always doted on Qian Gu Chenran. When had they ever let him suffer like this?
But for the sake of the child's future, she had no choice but to endure it.
Mu Ye turned to look at the couple and said, "Don't worry, I'll risk my life to make sure nothing happens to Chen Ran."
“We naturally trust Brother Mu to handle things.”
Qian Gu Qingfeng clasped his hands in a fist salute to Mu Ye. After yesterday's drinking session, his goodwill towards Mu Ye had greatly increased.
They had already been informed of this method while they were preparing. Although it was exaggerated, it would definitely have a significant effect on Qian Gu Chen Ran's cultivation of the flawless golden body.
Moreover, the medicinal herbs that the other party had just put in made Qian Gu Qingfeng feel the other party's dedication to teaching his son.
Several hundred-year-old Xuanbing Grass and hundred-year-old Fiery Apricot Blossoms, along with a hundred-year-old Dewdrop, are rare treasures. Opportunities to obtain these rare herbs from the outside world are extremely limited; the only possibility is through trade with the Tang Clan.
What Qian Gu Qingfeng didn't know was that, apart from a few that Mu Ye had collected himself, the rest were all things he had obtained from an old friend.
Estimating his remaining reserves of rare and precious materials, Mu Ye took out his soul-guided communicator and sent a message to an anonymous account.
Makino: Are you there? Are you running out of medicinal herbs? Bring me a few more thousand-year-old ones.
Anonymous: Are you crazy? Where am I supposed to get so many?
Muye: Good uncle, I believe you can do it.
Anonymous: Now you know to call me Uncle-Master. Where were you before?
Makino: Dad!
Anonymous: Let me think of a way.
Xingluo Continent
Tang Sect Branch
Sitting in the leather chair in the brothel owner's office, the middle-aged man tapped his fingers repeatedly on the desk.
The medicinal herbs that Makino requested this time were indeed a bit difficult to find.
As luck would have it, I discovered a few minor planes a few years ago, which should be enough to exchange for an Ice and Fire Token.
The middle-aged man got up and walked to the window, looking at the brightly lit Tang Clan branch outside, and recalling what his uncle had subtly told him some time ago.
It's time to complete my mission. I'll activate my soul-guided communicator and dial the number marked as belonging to the Vice Sect Master.
"Hello! Sect Leader. It's me, Hu Jie."
Chapter 30 The Golden Tortoiseshell
As the Eye of the Void opened, Qian Gu Chenran felt the turbulent blood and soul power within his body, and was overjoyed.
As expected of a signature technique. Not only did my soul power increase by another level, but my physical attributes also saw a tremendous improvement.
Mu Ye looked at Qian Gu Chen Ran swimming up and laughed, "My good disciple, your first time cultivating is much faster than your master and your senior brother."
In the Body Sect, the longer the first cultivation session lasts, the higher the quality of the other person's Body Martial Soul.
Mu Ye is now eagerly anticipating the awakening of Qian Gu Chen Ran's original martial soul. The higher the quality of the original martial soul, the greater the boost after awakening.
After taking a shower, Qian Gu Chen Ran looked at Na'er, who was gazing longingly at the food on the table, and patted her head in an annoyed tone, "Where is your loyalty?"
Na'er covered her head and pouted, "Boss. You're the one who said he's your master."
Qian Gu Chen Ran rolled his eyes. "So you just abandoned me and ran upstairs to take refuge."
Na'er poured Qian Gu Chenran a glass of juice in a flattering manner, "Boss, it won't happen again next time. Next time, if you tell me to go east, I'll go east; if you tell me to go west, I'll go west..."
Watching the two little ones playfully bickering, the three adults present also laughed.
Finally, it was the head of the family, Qian Gu Qingfeng, who spoke up: "Chenran, Na'er, let's eat first. Otherwise, the food will get cold."
Upon hearing this, Na'er first placed a chicken leg on Qian Gu Chenran's plate, saying, "Boss, you eat." Then she turned around and devoted herself entirely to eating.
After a satisfying meal, Qian Gu Chenran checked the time and was about to take Na'er to the Spirit Ascension Platform when Xia Zheng coldly called out, "Chenran, your second maternal grandfather will be here in a bit. Didn't you want to learn how to make soul tools? It's a good opportunity to have your second maternal grandfather teach you."
Upon hearing that it was his second maternal grandfather who had arrived, Qian Gu Chenran was overjoyed. His second maternal grandfather was a top-tier figure even among ninth-level soul masters.
"And this too! This is also a dragon crystal that your second maternal grandfather specially prepared for you."
Qian Gu Chen Ran accepted the Dragon Crystal, feeling the longing emanating from the Tai Xu Body, and his heart warmed.
This is what family is like; even if they are thousands of miles apart, they will still miss each other.
Thinking of Tang San's grand plan that would last for ten thousand years, Qian Gu Chen Ran felt an even greater sense of urgency.
"Mom, I'm going upstairs to cultivate now. Call me when Grandpa arrives."
After saying that, Qian Gu Chen Ran hurriedly went upstairs. Seeing this, Na'er also followed Qian Gu Chen Ran upstairs to cultivate.
Qian Gu Qingfeng, standing to the side, felt gratified. "Chenran has really grown up."
