In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 81 Tian Fragrant Cardamom
Congratulations to the player for obtaining the special medicine, Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom*1.

"Ok?"

Gu Shaoan was slightly taken aback when he saw the pop-up notification.

Gu Shaoan knew that Tianxiang Doukou took thirty years to grow, thirty years to flower, and thirty years to bear fruit.

Each Tianxiang cardamom plant produces only one fruit per bloom.

After taking it, unless the head is severed, even a severed heart meridian can be stabilized, keeping the patient alive and preventing the injury from worsening.

It can be described as a miraculous medicine for healing wounds.

However, after taking one of these pills, although it can prevent the injury from worsening, the person who takes it will fall into a permanent sleep and will need to take two more pills to wake up and recover from the injury.

Moreover, as far as he knew, with the extinction of the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom flower a hundred years ago, only three Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom flowers remained in the martial arts world.

"No, to be precise, there should only be two. One of them has already been used by that Iron-Blooded Marquis in the capital for his beloved."

Gu Shaoan never expected that this thing would actually be pulled out this time.

"Forget it, anyway, I can use achievement points to draw prizes, and I can continue to get more Heavenly Fragrance Beans in the future. They can be a lifesaver in critical moments."

Moreover, this Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom is something that the person in the capital has been painstakingly searching for all these years.

If necessary, it might also play some other role.

However, after thinking about it, Gu Shaoan shook his head and dismissed the idea.

After all, that Iron-Blooded Marquis was not as loyal and honest as rumored.

To make a deal with such a person would be like asking a tiger for its skin, making it the worst possible choice.

Gu Shaoan was a little disappointed that he still couldn't win anything that would improve his abilities in this lottery, but not by much.

After all, the items won in the previous draws were extremely valuable.

Gu Shaoan was quite surprised to be able to draw it several times in a row.

It would be normal to extract something ordinary like this.

Just as Gu Shaoan was about to take out the Tianxiang Doukou, he suddenly heard a few sounds.

A short while later, a small head with hair tied up in a high ponytail suddenly peeked in from outside the door.

Seeing Gu Shaoan looking at her with a half-smile, Zhou Zhiruo's eyebrows curved, and the tiptoeing feeling from before disappeared. Instead, she straightened up.

"Junior brother, Uncle Juechen has brought Junior Sister Yang Yan. They say they have something to discuss with you."

"Looking for me?" Gu Shaoan was puzzled, then got up and walked out of the courtyard with Zhou Zhiruo.

Just as I stepped out of the bamboo courtyard, I saw Yang Yan playing in the stream and Abbess Juechen standing quietly like a pine tree.

Yang Yan's big eyes immediately lit up when she saw Gu Shaoan.

With a light step, he leaped to Gu Shaoan's side, put his hands behind his back, and said with a bright smile, "Senior Brother Gu, it's been a long time."

When his gaze fell on Yang Yan, a hint of surprise flashed in Gu Shaoan's eyes.

The technique Yang Yan just used was "White Rainbow Chasing the Moon," which, along with "Three Appearances of the Divine Dragon," is one of the most superior light-body techniques in the Emei Sect.

It is extremely fast when used, but it cannot be used to force a change of direction in the air like the "Three Appearances of the Divine Dragon".

Senior Sister Zhao Jingxuan and Third Senior Sister Bei Jinyi both practiced this lightness skill.

When Yang Yan just performed it, her movements were light and graceful, already showing some of the swiftness of a white rainbow, clearly indicating that she had already achieved a certain level of mastery in this lightness skill.

This is only what Yang Yan has achieved in half a month since she started practicing. Her cultivation speed is undeniably fast.

At this moment, Gu Shaoan suddenly remembered that the future Fairy Jinghong's specialty was also a light-body technique.

In other words, Yang Yan has an exceptional talent for light-body techniques.

Thinking of this, Gu Shaoan immediately felt relieved.

"Half a month has passed since I last saw her. I didn't expect that my junior sister Yang Yan's 'White Rainbow Chasing the Moon' has already reached the 'first glimpse of the basics' level."

Hearing Gu Shaoan's praise, the girl's smile widened, her beauty as lovely as a flower.

“Master said that my cultivation progress is much slower than that of Senior Brother Gu. Senior Brother Gu has already cultivated the ‘Three Manifestations of the Divine Dragon’ to the ‘Master’ level.”

Gu Shaoan raised his hand and patted Yang Yan's head, saying, "Then you must work hard and strive to cultivate 'White Rainbow Chasing the Moon' to the 'Mastery' level as soon as possible. At that time, you can often come to Mount Da'e to cultivate with me and Senior Sister Zhou."

Perhaps because she had been saved by Gu Shaoan, Yang Yan was not dissatisfied at all when Gu Shaoan affectionately patted her head. On the contrary, she quite liked Gu Shaoan's affectionate gesture and squinted her eyes, showing a hint of enjoyment.

Looking at Yang Yan's appearance, Zhou Zhiruo glanced at Gu Shaoan's hand with a puzzled expression, and then looked at Yang Yan again.

"Junior brother, it seems you've never touched my head like this before?"

But the next moment, for some reason, Zhou Zhiruo thought of Extinction.

Recalling the scene of Extinction's attack in the mountain stronghold, I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine.

The initial excitement that had just arisen in my heart vanished completely.

After greeting Yang Yan, Gu Shaoan quickly stepped forward to Abbess Juechen and bowed to her along with Zhou Zhiruo.

"Disciple greets Martial Uncle."

Looking at Gu Shaoan, Juechen's eyes were full of tenderness.

"Get up!" After giving a slight nod, Abbess Juechen said, "The sect leader once said that you plan to go to Jiading Prefecture on the fifteenth of each month to provide free medical care for the benefit of all people. Tomorrow is the fifteenth. Yan'er has been cultivating on the mountain for the past half month, so I thought I would take her with me when you go to provide free medical care tomorrow. It would be a way to do good deeds."

Gu Shaoan thought that Abbess Juechen had come today to bring news of Extinction.

Seeing that it was just a small matter, Gu Shaoan immediately replied, "As long as Junior Sister Yang Yan doesn't find it annoying, that's fine."

Abbess Juechen smiled and said, "No matter how troubled you are, nothing can compare to the quiet and desolate feeling on this mountain."

After saying this, Abbess Juechen looked at Yang Yan and said, "When you're out and about, remember to listen to Shao'an's words and don't wander around recklessly."

Yang Yan nodded like a chick pecking at rice, replying, "Master, rest assured, I will definitely follow Senior Brother Gu closely, never leaving his side."

Finally, Yang Yan winked at Gu Shaoan and said, "Please take good care of me, Senior Brother Gu."

Facing Yang Yan, who was as lively and bright as a lark at that moment, Gu Shaoan also had a smile on his lips.

After chatting with Abbess Juechen for a while and asking some questions about cultivation, Abbess Juechen left with a reluctant Yang Yan.

Gu Shaoan turned around and wanted to call Zhou Zhiruo back to cultivate.

But when his gaze fell on Zhou Zhiruo, he noticed that she was watching the departing figures of Abbess Juechen and Yang Yan, her expression somewhat somber.

Gu Shaoan's thoughts shifted, and he suddenly remembered the exchange between Zhou Zhiruo and Yang Yan when he was talking with Abbess Juechen.

Suddenly, it dawned on him, as if he understood something.

After a moment's thought, Gu Shaoan, unusually, did not return to his courtyard to cultivate. Instead, he found a shady spot on the cliff and sat down with his back against a large tree.

Coming to her senses, Zhou Zhiruo stared blankly at Gu Shaoan sitting under a tree in the distance, then walked over to him.
