“Very well, take the Purple Flame Elixir.”
Terra Su nodded.
“Thank you, Young Master Su!”
Sean Feng beamed with joy as he carefully stored the Purple Flame Elixir and left the room. If all went well, he would emerge from seclusion at the Condensing Origin Realm eighth-level.
After Sean Feng left, Terra Su took another Purple Flame Elixir from the bottle.
Then, he headed to Sophia Xu’s courtyard.
“Little Terra, here to see Qianyin?”
Sophia Xu smiled as soon as she saw Terra Su. Ever since Gu Qianyin had protected her despite being injured, Sophia Xu had taken a great liking to the girl, insisting on having her live in her courtyard and personally taking care of her, even ordering the best medicinal herbs and tonics to be prepared daily.
In truth, Gu Qianyin’s injuries were minor and didn’t warrant such attention, but Sophia Xu insisted, and Terra Su went along with it.
“I’m heading out, you two take your time chatting.”
After brewing some fragrant tea, Sophia Xu smiled and left, leaving Terra Su and Gu Qianyin alone in the room.
Gu Qianyin felt a bit awkward. She knew Aunt Xu was trying to match her with Terra Su, but she also knew that Terra Su didn’t seem interested.
And her feelings? She wasn’t sure either.
To change the topic, Gu Qianyin asked, “How have you been?”
“Why wouldn’t I be fine?” Terra Su smiled faintly, his demeanor calm and collected.
Gu Qianyin looked at Terra Su, secretly marveling. If it were anyone else who had offended the Iron Armor Gate and knew they were seeking revenge, they would be sleepless and anxious, unlike Terra Su who seemed unbothered.
“How are your injuries?” Terra Su asked.
“Almost fully healed.” Martial Practitioners naturally heal faster than ordinary people, and Gu Qianyin’s injuries were minor, so she was nearly recovered by now.
Terra Su nodded, “I haven’t thanked you yet for protecting my aunt.”
“No need to thank me. Aunt Xu has always been kind to me; it was only right for me to protect her.”
Gu Qianyin said. At that moment, she had acted almost instinctively without thinking much.
“I never hesitate to repay those who have helped me. Take this.”
Terra Su placed the Purple Flame Elixir on the table in front of Gu Qianyin.
“The Purple Flame Elixir?”
Gu Qianyin was no stranger to the elixir, but she was shocked, “You want to give this to me?”
She knew how high the Purple Flame Elixir had been auctioned for at the floating auction. It was said that the underground black market in Clear River City was now buying Purple Flame Elixirs at double the auction price. If Terra Su took this elixir to the black market, he could easily earn a hundred thousand silver taels.
And yet, Terra Su wanted to give it to her?
“Terra Su, this is too valuable. I can’t accept it.”
Gu Qianyin was flustered. The elixir was incredibly tempting, but she feared that accepting it would mean owing Terra Su a huge favor.
Moreover, where did Terra Su get so many Purple Flame Elixirs? Was he wholesaling them?
Was refining the Purple Flame Elixir that easy for him?
“Take it. It’s what you deserve, as I already explained.”
Terra Su smiled faintly.
He didn’t like owing favors. If Gu Qianyin hadn’t shielded Sophia Xu, she might have been seriously injured, so he had to repay this favor.
One Purple Flame Elixir was nothing to Terra Su; Sophia Xu’s safety was worth more than a hundred elixirs.
“Since you insist, I’ll accept it.”
Gu Qianyin bit her lip and said.
She couldn’t deny the elixir’s allure. When she took it, a hint of excitement appeared on her face. “My cultivation level has reached the peak of the Condensing Origin Realm seventh-level. If I take this elixir, I should be able to advance to the eighth-level.”
“You’ve reached the peak of the Condensing Origin Realm seventh-level so quickly?”
Terra Su was surprised; Gu Qianyin had once again impressed him.
It seemed her barbarian bloodline was indeed formidable. Ever since she started practicing the Five-Colored Divine Sound, her cultivation speed had skyrocketed, almost catching up to Terra Su himself.
Thinking of this, Terra Su smiled. If all went well, South Jiang Manor would soon have two Condensing Origin Realm eighth-level experts.
“I’m curious, with so many treasures and secrets, aren’t you afraid I’ll betray you and join forces with others to uncover your secrets?”
Gu Qianyin asked, biting her lip.
“Would you?”
Terra Su countered.
In the past, Gu Qianyin might have considered it. She might have sent a message to the Star Luan Gate, asking her father to capture Terra Su and force him to reveal his treasures and secrets.
But now, that thought had faded. She found herself wanting to stay by Terra Su’s side, to see how far he could go.
“Maybe, maybe not. Who knows?”
Gu Qianyin said ambiguously.
Terra Su smiled. If Gu Qianyin had sworn loyalty, he wouldn’t have believed her. Besides, she had saved Sophia Xu, so he wouldn’t make her swear a Heart Demon oath like Sean Feng.
But Terra Su wasn’t worried. As Emperor Terra, he wasn’t afraid of not being able to tame a little girl.
Even if she became the famous Fairy Qianyin in the future, in Terra Su’s eyes, she was still just a little girl.
After chatting a bit more, Terra Su left Gu Qianyin’s room.
Now, he just had to wait for two Condensing Origin Realm eighth-level experts to emerge.
Back in his room, Terra Su closed the doors and windows, took out the Xuanhuang Shouwu he had obtained from Green Fiend.
After a few days, the Spiritual Qi in the Xuanhuang Shouwu was starting to dissipate and needed to be consumed quickly to avoid waste.
“Martial Practitioners below the Condensing Origin Realm seventh-level can instantly advance one level by consuming Xuanhuang Shouwu. I’m at the Condensing Origin Realm fourth-level, so it’s perfect.”
Terra Su took the Xuanhuang Shouwu in his hand and ate it like a yam, swallowing it down.
As soon as the Xuanhuang Shouwu entered his stomach, its Spiritual Qi exploded into a surge of heat, spreading through his body, nourishing his flesh and bones.
He immediately began to circulate the Chaotic Immortal Records, converting the Spiritual Qi into True Essence in his Dantian, wasting none of it.
His cultivation level began to soar at an astonishing speed.
Condensing Origin Realm fourth-level mid-stage, late-stage, peak…
