“Joshua Wang won a Purple Flame Elixir at the auction, so if everything goes as expected, the Wang Family should soon have another Condensing Origin Realm eighth-level expert.”
Sophia Xu murmured to herself.
“Auntie, that’s not necessarily the case. The Purple Flame Elixir doesn’t guarantee a breakthrough to the Condensing Origin Realm eighth-level. There can always be unexpected outcomes.”
Terra Su said with a smile.
The reason Terra Su said this was because he knew the Wang Family inside out. He knew that the Purple Flame Elixir they bought wouldn’t enhance their strength but instead bring them misfortune.
The Wang Family had a Grand Elder who was a Condensing Origin Realm seventh-level expert, and he was the only one at that level in the family. Joshua Wang would definitely give the Purple Flame Elixir to him.
However, the Grand Elder’s physique was one of the rare types that were unsuitable for consuming the Purple Flame Elixir. His physique was of the Dual Yang type, which clashed with the properties of the Purple Flame Elixir. Consuming it wouldn’t help him break through to the Condensing Origin Realm eighth-level; instead, it could cause him to suffer from energy deviation, leading to a regression in his cultivation level or even endangering his life.
The Dual Yang physique was stronger than that of ordinary martial practitioners. In his previous life, the Grand Elder of the Wang Family had relied on the advantages of his Dual Yang physique to forcefully break through to the Condensing Origin Realm eighth-level without the aid of elixirs, establishing the Wang Family’s dominance in Clear River City.
In this life, the appearance of the Purple Flame Elixir, which the Wang Family had spent a fortune to acquire, would instead become a death sentence for the Grand Elder.
In the alchemy world, there was an unwritten rule that if an alchemist discovered that their elixir had been bought by someone with an unsuitable physique, they would generally warn the buyer not to consume it. This was part of an alchemist’s professional ethics.
However, Terra Su and the Wang Family, along with North Jiang Manor, were already at odds. He couldn’t wait to see the Wang Family suffer, so why would he warn them?
Moreover, there was only one Purple Flame Elixir, but both the Wang Family and North Jiang Manor wanted it. Who the elixir would ultimately go to was an interesting matter. Terra Su was more interested in seeing the elixir cause a rift between the two families. However, the alliance between North Jiang Manor and the Wang Family seemed stronger than he had anticipated, as there were no signs of discord between them yet.
But Terra Su wasn’t in a hurry. The issue of the Purple Flame Elixir had already planted the seeds of discord between the two families. Alliances based on mutual interests were inherently unstable, and often, a single spark was enough to widen the cracks. It was just a matter of time.
…
After leaving Sophia Xu’s courtyard, Terra Su returned to his own.
As soon as he entered, he saw Gu Qianyin walking out, looking refreshed.
Terra Su glanced at her and asked, “Did you break through?”
“Yes, I’ve reached the Condensing Origin Realm seventh-level.”
Gu Qianyin replied, a faint blush visible through her veil, indicating her excitement.
“Good. Come to my room, and I’ll teach you the second level of the Five-Colored Divine Sound.”
Terra Su said as he walked towards his room.
Gu Qianyin followed him in.
“Take off your clothes.”
As soon as they were in the room, Terra Su said casually.
“What… what did you say?” Gu Qianyin was stunned, her face showing a mix of shame and anger. Was Terra Su trying to use the Five-Colored Divine Sound to coerce her into something inappropriate?
She had suspected that there was no such thing as a free lunch. Passing on an Earth Grade high-level technique for no reason had to come with strings attached!
“What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take them off. The True Essence circulation for the second level is quite complex and involves some obscure meridians. It’s hard to explain with words, so I need to guide you by hand.”
Terra Su urged.
Gu Qianyin blinked, realizing she might have misunderstood.
Terra Su seemed genuinely intent on guiding her. After all, she knew that even a slight mistake in the circulation of True Essence could lead to significant errors.
“You didn’t think I wanted to see you naked, did you?”
Terra Su said leisurely, his gaze sweeping over Gu Qianyin, lingering a bit longer on her relatively flat chest before shaking his head. “Honestly, I’m not interested!”
“You…”
Gu Qianyin was furious. Being stared at rudely was already offensive, but to be told there was no interest afterward was an insult on top of an insult.
“Enough with the nonsense. If you still want to learn the second level of the Five-Colored Divine Sound, stop dawdling.”
Terra Su said.
“At least turn around and let me change here. And it’s fine if I keep my innermost layer of clothing on, right?”
Gu Qianyin gritted her teeth.
“Fine.”
Terra Su smiled and left the room.
A moment later, Terra Su re-entered the room and was taken aback by the sight.
A perfect figure was sitting on the bed with her back to him. Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, covering much of her jade-like skin, but the exposed parts of her shoulders were as smooth as jade, sparking the imagination about the rest of her body.
Gu Qianyin bit her lip and slowly turned around. She still wore her veil, but now she was only clad in a yellow camisole and a pair of undergarments. She had torn the legs off her undergarments, revealing her smooth, white legs.
Moreover, the previously flat area now seemed more substantial.
Terra Su glanced at her and felt a rush of blood. Although his mindset was that of Emperor Terra, his body was still that of a fifteen-year-old, full of youthful vigor.
However, Terra Su quickly composed himself and said, “Sit down. I’ll first teach you the incantation.”
Terra Su recited the incantation, but Gu Qianyin couldn’t memorize it immediately like before. She had never been in such a situation, so she was understandably nervous.
Soon, though, her Martial Dao heart took over, and she began to focus.
Her remarkable talent soon shone through, and she memorized the incantation after just one recitation.
But memorizing the incantation was only the first step. The more important part was the circulation route of the True Essence.
Terra Su extended a finger and traced the route on Gu Qianyin’s body, indicating the path of the True Essence. Each time he moved, he could feel her slight tremble.
After teaching her twice, Gu Qianyin could circulate her True Essence along the new route.
“You’ve fully mastered the second level of the Five-Colored Divine Sound. If nothing goes wrong, mastering the third level should completely resolve your True Essence disorder.”
Gu Qianyin’s face lit up with joy. “Thank you.”
“Now, leave.”
Terra Su asked Gu Qianyin to leave the room, feeling that he might have overestimated his self-control. If Gu Qianyin stayed any longer, he might not be able to resist pushing her down.
