I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 74: Trouble is brewing for the Nianling Sect!

"Thank you for the compliment, Master."

Qin Yiyao smiled brightly, revealing her teeth.

Immediately, she reached out and took out a container filled with spiritual liquid, handing it to Gu Heng: "Master, after diluting this concentrated golden spiritual liquid with water, there will be just enough for two thousand bottles, which is enough for the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop to sell."

She knew that the cooperation that her master had agreed to with Feng Wuxin was mostly a prelude to Qin Yiyao.

Gu Heng only needed some ordinary money so that he wouldn't starve when he tried to understand the ways of the mortal world. However, Qin Yiyao was in charge of the alchemy work, and she was also responsible for delivering the medicine to the Golden Phoenix Pharmacy and teaching them how to prepare it. Therefore, this cooperation was actually a collaboration between Qin Yiyao and the Golden Phoenix Pharmacy. He was only playing a leading role in it.

Therefore, this was a precious opportunity for Qin Yiyao. In her opinion, the guild leader Feng Wuxin was quite ambitious and had a strong drive to rise to power. This "Golden Spirit Liquid" would allow her to completely crush Qingfeng Baoxing and then dominate Yunling City!

In the future, the towns surrounding Yunling City, or even the cities further away, will also become hers!

Qin Yiyao was the one who provided her with all these opportunities!

Although she lost everything after her rebirth, she was able to rise from nothing to become the all-powerful emperor in the past, and she can do the same now. Feng Wuxin's ambition and expansion are exactly what Qin Yiyao needs.

The name of "Emperor Shengyao" will not disappear so easily!

Moreover, this kind of start was more wonderful than she had ever imagined.

She has a kind master who is descending to the mortal realm with a heart set on cultivating immortality. She has a bed to sleep in, plenty of food to eat, and can cultivate without distraction, without having to worry about the wolves and rats lurking all around...

She never had such a good life before.

From an unknown, helpless rogue cultivator, she slowly carved her own path in a dog-eat-dog world, every step fraught with danger. Even after she established her own power and gained a following, she found herself in even more trouble, because the combined forces of external enemies and internal traitors could cause damage far beyond the simple sum of its parts.

The days of scheming and intrigue nearly wore down Qin Yiyao's patience in pursuing "ascension to immortality."

But now it's different.

She has someone protecting her.

"Yi Yao, why...why are you looking at me like that?"

Gu Heng saw Qin Yiyao staring intently at him, her face flushed with excitement, looking like a delicate and beautiful flower in full bloom.

Why is this little girl suddenly spacing out? And why is she blushing?

Qin Yiyao only then realized what was happening and quickly lowered her eyes to hide her emotions.

Then, she looked up, smiled brightly, and said, "I'm so glad that I met such a good master."

Gu Heng laughed and rubbed her head: "Silly girl, I just picked you up randomly on the roadside. What if I picked up another child somewhere else that day? I'm gratified that you're so sensible."

Qin Yiyao nodded obediently.

"Hmm... It's been two days already. Old Master Wu went back, and there hasn't been any news since."

Gu Heng remembered something else.

Two days ago, that old man Wu Rong confidently told them that he would definitely be able to convey the message about the "Thousand Swords Hunting Grounds," but now, two days have passed, and while they have already finalized a great deal with the Golden Phoenix Treasure Company, there has been no word from him.

Gu Heng wanted to fulfill any special request his girl had.

If you say you'll pamper someone, then you have to keep your word.

"If they don't agree, then forget it."

Qin Yiyao blinked and shook her head.

She didn't completely trust the Third Elder of the Nianling Sect, and naturally she was prepared. If the Nianling Sect refused to let her in, she would break through the Thousand Swords Hunting Ground's blockade herself!

Bringing this up was merely to save face for the Nianling Sect.

It's good that they don't agree!

Qin Yiyao didn't want Gu Heng to spend money on her, especially on forces she looked down on; it would be too wasteful.

"No, breaking a promise is never a good thing. Old Master Wu promised me he would send someone in charge to talk. Let's wait another day. If he doesn't come..."

Gu Heng's gaze slowly darkened.

Anyway, I've already connected with Golden Phoenix Treasure Company.

If that wealthy family refuses, then let them experience your strength in a different way.

Borrowing a tiger's skin is not difficult.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a sudden commotion arose in the sky above Yunling City, as if a raging gale was sweeping by. The power of the gale caused the entire city to tremble, alarming many people in the city, whether they were cultivators or mortals.

In the western part of the city, in the old-fashioned carving shop, Lu Yan was concentrating on practicing calligraphy, but the rapidly passing power also affected him, causing the last stroke to suddenly lose its charm.

"Hold your breath, concentrate, and calm your mind. The most important thing in calligraphy is your state of mind," the old man immediately reprimanded him when he saw him make a mistake.

"That's what the master taught me."

Lu Yan nodded and continued practicing his calligraphy, while the old man looked at the sky with dissatisfaction, muttering, "Hmph, he's just a newcomer to the first level of the Tribulation Transcending stage, yet he dares to be so arrogant."

An even more powerful aura emanated from the old man, enveloping the small shop.

We can't let that fool disturb my disciple's resolve.

In the south of the city, Gu Heng walked into the front yard and looked at the extremely clear trace of energy left in the sky. He knew immediately that it was left by a powerful figure.

"Hmph, this is really disturbing the peace."

He frowned and whispered.

Seeing these powerful cultivators traversing mountains and seas, flying across the sky, Gu Heng's feelings were different from before.

In the past, Gu Heng thought he could also become the kind of person who looked down on the world.

Now, he just thinks these people love to show off.

Qin Yiyao also sensed the fluctuation of that power. She knew that it was a Tribulation Transcending stage expert flying across the sky.

And judging from the direction it's heading, it seems to be heading towards...

He departed from the Nianling Sect!

At this moment, inside the Nianling Sect's mountain gate, Sect Master Zhu Ling was in the front hall discussing matters with several elders. Suddenly, his expression changed drastically, and he stood up abruptly, flicking his sleeves as he said, "Go and prepare to activate the mountain-protecting formation!"

"Sect Master, this..." The elders were puzzled, wondering what had happened that required activating the sect's protective formation.

That formation cannot be used lightly!

"Go!"

Zhu Ling shouted sharply, her face turning ashen.

Seeing this, the elders dared not ask any more questions and quickly accepted the order and withdrew.

After all the elders left, Zhu Ling's figure flickered, leaping out of the hall, and then her true energy stood in mid-air.

But he was covered in cold sweat.

Because the rapidly approaching figure already exuded an overwhelming and irresistible pressure on him!
