Chapter 40: The Value of Staying by His Side, Terrifying Talent in Alchemy

The value of staying by my side, the terrifying alchemy talent

Seeing the members of the Lin family retreat, Gu Changge pondered for a moment and suddenly called out to Lin Qiuhan.

" Young Master Gu..."

Lin Qiuhan was slightly stunned; when she reacted, her heart couldn't help but beat rapidly, and her face felt hot.

In front of so many Clan Members, Young Master Gu asked her to stay?

Did Young Master Gu have something to say to her?

Or could it be... that Young Master Gu also had feelings for her?

She began to let her imagination run wild, her expression somewhat shy.

"The Family Head has raised a fine daughter..."

This scene brought joy to the faces of many Lin family Elder s, but at the same time, they were somewhat envious. After all, their granddaughters were not as beautiful as Lin Qiuhan.

As the youngest and most beautiful Elder of the Daoji Academy,

With hair like clouds and a face like jade,

She indeed possessed such capital. She had many suitors among the younger generation, and now it seemed she had also gained the favor of this Young Master.

This made many people in the Lin family very happy.

Many young men felt sour in their hearts, while many women were envious; in short, their emotions were complex and varied.

The Lin Family Head also showed a smile, gave Lin Qiuhan a meaningful look, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Fortunately, Qiuhan is well-behaved and sensible, saving me from worry..."

If he could use this to draw closer to Young Master Gu... the Lin Family Head was already fantasizing in his heart, feeling quite joyful.

Elder Ming was also thinking that if the Young Master truly liked her, he could take Lin Qiuhan along when it was time to return to the Upper Realm.

Since she was his descendant, he could also look after her.

Of course, the primary reason was still that the Young Master had to like her.

After the members of the Lin family had all departed,

The front of the hall returned to its quiet state.

"It was quite a trouble for Lady Qiuhan to personally deliver Spiritual Cakes last night."

Gu Changge smiled casually, his face returning to that calm and elegant expression from yesterday.

Yesterday he wore black robes, but today he had changed into a set of white clothes. His long hair was loosely tied, making him look less like a high-and-mighty noble and more like an immortal.

Lin Qiuhan was dazed for a moment.

She had to admit that, purely in terms of appearance, there were few men in the world who could compare to Young Master Gu.

"Does Young Master Gu like them?"

Hearing this, Lin Qiuhan felt a bit of joy.

But she also couldn't help but feel nervous; normally in the academy, she would never have such emotions.

"The taste is quite good, and there is even a trace of Alchemy Intent within them, which surprised me a little."

Gu Changge said with a smile, offering a casual compliment.

He had a purpose for asking Lin Qiuhan to stay, and of course, he was also somewhat curious.

As a woman related to the Child of Destiny, her Fortune Points were actually not low, totaling over two hundred points.

Ordinary Cultivator s usually had only a few points, or even zero Luck.

This amount was already quite startling.

Like Su Qingge, she also started with around three hundred points, but now it had nearly risen to over five hundred points.

During this period, there must have been changes within her.

Gu Changge knew she was exceptionally intelligent and held many secrets.

However, he did not ask, waiting for the day Su Qingge would confess to him herself.

But as for Lin Qiuhan, aside from being beautiful and having decent cultivation talent, Gu Changge couldn't find anything special about her.

He was not a man who thought with his lower body.

Toying with her was fine, but he wouldn't keep her by his side like Su Qingge.

As for those two hundred-plus Fortune Points, Gu Changge could easily use some methods to make Lin Qiuhan completely devoted to him.

Just as the answer Gu Changge received when he previously questioned the System,

Making a person of great Luck who is not a Child of Destiny submit can also yield Destiny Points.

As for the specific amount, it depended on their Fortune Points.

To put it bluntly, in Gu Changge 's eyes, Lin Qiuhan was nothing more than a tool for farming Destiny Points.

Before she demonstrated her proper value, Gu Changge would not keep her by his side.

So, by asking her to stay, Gu Changge was also intending to give it a try.

" Alchemy Intent?" Hearing this, Lin Qiuhan was slightly stunned; it was the first time she had heard of such a thing.

Dao Intent, Sword Intent, Dao Intent...

She had heard of them all, but Alchemy Intent was the only one she hadn't.

Su Qingge, on the other hand, had some understanding, as she often browsed ancient texts and had heard a bit about it.

"To casually make some Spiritual Cakes that contain an Alchemy Intent that even some Alchemy Great Grandmaster s don't possess, Lady Qiuhan is truly remarkable."

Gu Changge smiled; seeing her reaction, how could he not understand?

"I don't know how to perform Alchemy..."

Lin Qiuhan felt a bit embarrassed by Gu Changge 's praise.

She hadn't even touched Alchemy yet.

This was what could be called a terrifying talent for Alchemy.

If Lin Qiuhan had been born into some Alchemy great sects in the Upper Realm, she would surely be a divine maiden of Alchemy, with limitless prospects.

As expected, those close to a Child of Destiny would not be simple.

But it was fine; it hadn't been a waste of effort.

Thinking this, Gu Changge 's smile didn't fade as he said to Lin Qiuhan, "Lady Qiuhan, being idle is also boring. Why don't you take me for a stroll around the city today?"

"Ah... Okay, okay..."

Hearing Gu Changge say this, Lin Qiuhan suddenly felt as if she had been hit by a pleasant surprise, and her head felt dizzy.

...

The matter of the Lin family sealing the city and the Void Realm last night had made the Cultivator s throughout the ancient city quite uneasy, as they speculated about what had happened.

After all, they had only heard in the morning that the legendary Lin Family Ancestor had returned from the Upper Realm and was holding a grand banquet.

But by nightfall, it seemed something major had occurred.

The entire Lin family was furious, searching for someone.

Many Cultivator s speculated, wondering who had provoked or offended the Lin family.

Since the ancestor's return, the Lin family's current prestige in the entire Central Heaven Domain was such that few forces could rival them.

Many Cultivator s and living beings in the entire ancient city became panicked.

Finally, rumors spread that someone had used poisonous means to try and harm the Young Master from the Upper Realm, using it to frame the Lin family.

When the culprit was finally found, it turned out to be the Lin family's famous Trash, Lin Tian.

Many people found it hard to believe.

This matter also caused many Cultivator s to talk for a while, leaving them shocked.

After all, many people in the Central Continent now knew how terrifying the background and how extraordinary the status of that Upper Realm Young Master was. To act against him was completely suicidal.

And during these few days, the Central Continent was even more restless.

In the other eight domains,

Many powerful Holy Land s and Imperial Dynasties with legacies exceeding a hundred thousand years sent representatives to the Lin family, carrying grand gifts, preparing to visit their ancestor and that mysterious Young Master.

The location for the Central Continent 's younger generation's Dao Discussion Assembly was even changed to the ancient city where the Lin family resided, reportedly by the unanimous decision of the various Holy Land s and Imperial Dynasties.

As for the intention, many Cultivator s had already guessed it.

According to news from the Eastern Wilderness,

The reason the Grand Profound Holy Land was able to intimidate the other Holy Land s and become the absolute overlord of the Eastern Wilderness in one fell swoop,

Could be said that the Taixuan Saintess, known as the number one beauty of the Eastern Wilderness, played a significant role.

Therefore, many Holy Land s and Imperial Dynasties wanted to follow suit. If their own disciples could catch the eye of that Young Master, it would definitely be a supreme Opportunity for their fortunes to rise and their ancestors' graves to emit green smoke.

After all, even the Lin Family Ancestor from thirty thousand years ago was said to be an old servant of that Young Master.

Such a status was simply terrifying beyond belief, shocking countless Cultivator s who wanted to catch a glimpse of the Young Master 's true face.

Suddenly, the ancient city where the Lin family was located became incredibly lively, with forces from various sects and schools arriving every day.

Even many Ancient Races had emerged, coming from various Ancient Divine Mountain s, whom even the major Holy Land s would usually be wary of.

The Ancient Divine Mountain s could be said to be the forces with the most contact with the Upper Realm, with rumors saying they were branches of certain Dao Lineage s and ethnic groups from the Upper Realm.

Normally, any living beings coming out from there would be treated as honored guests by the major Holy Land s.
