Tan Xiu gently took the Immortal Fiend Pill and looked at Gu Yan 'er with a distressed expression. He knew how difficult it was to refine an Immortal Fiend Pill because the most important ingredient was the blood essence from one's heart.
"Don't do things that harm yourself and others in the future."
Tan Xiu put away the Immortal Fiend Pill and gently hugged Gu Yan 'er as he said solemnly.
Gu Yan 'er's eyes gleamed with happiness. Although she agreed softly, she didn't agree with it inwardly. She was willing to pay anything that could help Tan Xiu, even if it would bring her great harm. Just like in the past …
On a winding mountain road.
Tan Xiu and Gu Yan 'er walked side by side toward the beach where the exquisite pagoda was located. The cold wind blew, but it didn't bring any discomfort to the two.
"Yan 'er, the Immortal Fiend Pill is taken by the Devils in the Demon Realm who focus on their Demon Physique. The pill formula is very precious. Even I spent 10,000 years in the Immortal World, sneaking into the Demon Realm countless times. Yet, it took me a lot of effort to get the formula. How did you get it?" asked Tan Xiu.
"I got it from the Immortal Lyceum," said Gu Yan 'er with a chuckle.
The Immortal Lyceum?
Tan Xiu's complexion slightly changed and a complicated look appeared in his eyes. He was once a Supreme in the Immortal World who possessed terrifying strength and could calmly face countless Immortals and Devils. But there was only one person that he had always felt guilty about. That person was the Master of the Immortal Lyceum, the peerless and peerless Perfected Golden Immortal, Apotheosis Immortal Bella.
He used to be.
His whole heart was with Xue Qingcheng. He stubbornly believed that it was enough to have a true lover in this life. Therefore, even though Apotheosis Bella pursued him for thousands of years and even turned him into a laughingstock in the Immortal World, he was always indifferent to it.
Rejection was ineffective, so he could only avoid it.
Tan Xiu took a deep breath and asked, "Is she … okay?"
Gu Yan 'er knew who Tan Xiu was asking about. There was a bit of admiration in her eyes as she nodded and said, "She's very good, at least on the surface. After master's incident, she spent hundreds of years to forcibly break into the Immortal Domain where you lived in seclusion, and brought out all the treasures that you had collected for ten thousand years. Moreover, she marked out an area in the Immortal Court and rebuilt it according to the scenery of the place where you lived in seclusion. When I first stepped into the Immortal Court, I received her hospitality, and spent a hundred years to read through the books and records that you had collected for ten thousand years. But … "
Tan Xiu frowned and asked, "But what?"
Gu Yan'er forced a smile and said, "However, I have a faint feeling that she's plotting something big, but I don't know what it is. However, she tried to win me over and let me work for her. It's a pity that I was in a hurry to find you, so I rejected her. "
Tan Xiu frowned and shook his head. "She's not a shrewd person. It's hard for her to come up with any big plans given her hot temper. Anyways, let's not talk about her anymore. I haven't practiced swordsmanship for a long time. Do you still remember the sword dance I taught you in the past? "
Gu Yan'er's eyes lit up and she smilingly nodded. "I do."
"Accompany me to practice swordsmanship," said Tan Xiu. "I'm leaving Nine Dragons Island tomorrow to attend the auction in Demonic City."
Gu Yan'er complied and curiously asked, "Master, I heard from Xiaoxue that you're going to hold an auction in Demonic City. I heard that it's going to be a huge auction?"
"The number of cultivators in our Tang Sect will only increase," said Tan Xiu. "I'm afraid that the cultivation resources we'll need to consume every year will be a huge number. I'm prepared to make a huge amount of money in a short time. Then, we'll go all out to cultivate. "
Gu Yan'er's eyes lit up and she asked, "Will you be cultivating in the exquisite pagoda when the time comes?"
"Yeah!"
Tan Xiu nodded.
After getting Tan Xiu's answer, Gu Yan'er became excited. She was still a bit excited even when the two of them arrived at the seaside.
Dream Butterfly Sword Dance!
Tang Xiu once created a sword art when he was bored in the Immortal World. The foundation of this sword art was based on observing the graceful dance of butterflies. Their postures were light and graceful. The two butterflies swayed up and down as though they were dancing and competing with each other.
They walked on the waves.
In just half a minute, Tang Xiu and Gu Yan 'er had already appeared on the sea surface a kilometer away. Two immortal swords appeared in their hands and their figures turned hazy. Under the blazing sun, the duo looked like a celestial couple, dancing gracefully and gracefully as they brandished their swords to their heart's content.
"Golden Butterfly Dance!"
Gu Yan 'er's delicate body leaned back at a 60-degree angle. The sword's shadow flickered as the tip of the sword constantly swallowed and spat out the lingering airflow that formed golden light butterflies. When she floated tens of meters above the sea surface, thousands of golden butterflies flapped their wings around her as if they were dancing happily.
"Silver Butterfly Loves Cluster!"
Tan Xiu's body rotated crazily, maintaining the same height as Gu Yan'er. Along with the swallowing and spitting of sword light, silver light butterflies appeared out of thin air and gathered together with the tens of thousands of golden butterflies.
On the shore a kilometer away …
Ji Chimei and Gu Xiaoxue stood side by side with a surprised look on their faces. The sword dance displayed by Tan Xiu and Gu Yan'er was simply breathtakingly beautiful and deeply intoxicating.
"It's so beautiful!"
Gu Yin's figure flashed from a distance. When she landed beside Gu Xiaoxue, she murmured, "Yinyin also wants to learn this sword dance. It's so beautiful!"
Gu Xiaoxue turned her head and looked at Gu Yin with a smile. "Little Martial Aunt, do you want to learn this sword dance because you want to find a Mr. Right in the future to be your sparring partner?"
"Yinyin doesn't want to find a Mr. Right," said Gu Yin shyly. "Master is very good to me. I want to be like Eldest Senior Sister and practice the sword with Master."
A smile immediately appeared on Gu Xiaoxue's face upon hearing it. Her eyes shifted back to the two people practicing the sword in the sea, full of envy. She also wanted to learn this sword dance. She also wanted to practice the sword with her Grand Master, Tan Xiu. But she was well aware that she would never be able to realize this extravagant wish in this life.
The sword fell and the butterflies disappeared.
Tang Xiu, who stepped on the surface of the sea and put away his immortal sword, had a similar expression as Gu Yan 'er. Then, a smile appeared on their faces as Tang Xiu said, "Let's head back and recuperate! The faster you recover, the stronger the Tang Sect will be. I'm looking forward to you being able to guide the Tang Sect's disciples in their cultivation after you recover. "
"Yan 'er still has the power of an Immortal, Master," said Gu Yan' er with a smile. "I can make the Tang Sect's disciples advance by leaps and bounds even if I have to consume some Immortal Qi."
Tan Xiu hurriedly said, "You mustn't use Immortal Qi before you fully recover from your injuries. There's no Immortal Qi in this space, and every bit you use now will be less. I'll need your protection when we return to the Immortal World in the future. "
"Don't worry, Master!" Gu Yan 'er nodded and smilingly said. "I know what I'm doing."
Tan Xiu nodded in response. He then looked at the shore and said, "I'm going to bring the Tang Family's people to Nine Dragons Island and let them become cultivators. Let them stay on Earth if they want to. But if they want to go to the Immortal World with us, it's up to them. "
Gu Yan 'er thought for a while and said, "Then I'll set up a separate area in Nine Dragons Island to settle the Tang Family's descendants. But you must think about it carefully, Master. If the family's disciples learn about your identity and know that you're a disciple of the Tang Sect, will they bring trouble to Nine Dragons Island because of you? "
"Don't worry!" Tan Xiu said. "The Tang Family has no more than 30 core members. I'll give them a warning and throw them into the training camp to receive normal training. If they can persist, they'll stay in Nine Dragons Island and return to China if they can't. They won't get any special care in Nine Dragons Island. "
"It's Yan 'er being a busybody." Gu Yan' er smiled and said, "You know who you are, Master? You can naturally take such a small issue into consideration. Now, Yan 'er feels very happy because she doesn't need to think about anything when she's with Master. Yan 'er always trembled with fear and tread on thin ice when I didn't have Master. "
Tan Xiu sighed inwardly. He knew that Gu Yan 'er's sacrifice was all because of him. Otherwise, it would've been too easy for her to live a comfortable life in the Immortal World given her talent and strength.
"Yan 'er!"
Tan Xiu gently grabbed Gu Yan 'er's shoulder and said with a self-reproachful tone.
Gu Yan 'er leaned on Tan Xiu's shoulder and smilingly shook her head. "Master, Yan' er will always be happy no matter how bitter and tired she is. Everything is for you, Master. As long as you don't abandon Yan 'er in the future, even if Yan' er has to become the enemy of the whole world, Yan 'er will be willing to do it. "
"Yan 'er, Master will never abandon you again," said Tan Xiu.
There was still a long way to go.
Tan Xiu felt that the pressure on him had increased a lot. After releasing Gu Yan 'er, he followed Gu Yan' er into the exquisite pagoda and stayed there until the next morning. Only then did he accompany Gu Yan 'er to have breakfast.
"I want to leave with you."
Xue Yu, who had been cultivating on Nine Dragons Island, suddenly spoke.
Tan Xiu put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked, "Have you stabilized your realm?"
"Yes." Xue Yu nodded and said, "My current power is at the early-stage of Spirit Formation. Yan 'er has taught me a lot of things these days. I should be able to break through to the late-stage of Spirit Formation in half a year at most if nothing unexpected happens. "
Tan Xiu thought for a while and asked, "Are you going back to China for something?"
"Nothing else but to check on some business matters." Xue Yu shook her head.
"You're very strong now, Xue Yu," said Tan Xiu. "But you lack the combat experience. Let's do it this way. Don't go back to China if you want to, but go to M Country instead! Mo Awu and the others have arrived in M Country and are carrying out a secret mission. You're much stronger than them, so going there to help them will also help you gain some experience. "
M Country?
Xue Yu thought for a while and nodded. "No problem. I'll go to M Country then."
She had learned a lot of things from Gu Yan 'er these days, including many things about Tan Xiu. She also knew that they would be facing an extremely terrifying enemy, so she wanted to help Tan Xiu as long as Tan Xiu needed it.
