Chapter 1126: Old acquaintance recalls the past,leaving no trace after the event
“My lord.”
Within the grand hall, Yin Mei, accompanied by Lin Qiuhuan, Yan Ji, and others, found their seats and noticed Gu Changge approaching with a smile.
With a sweet smile, she addressed Gu Changge, “I’ve brought them here as you instructed.”
“Thank you for your effort,” Gu Changge replied, nodding slightly, then turned his gaze to Lin Qiuhuan and Yan Ji.
It had been a while since he had seen them. On one hand, it was due to his lack of time, but on the other, he felt it wasn’t necessary and might put them in harm’s way. Although he wasn’t a good person, he did have a sense of nostalgia.
Many forces in the upper realms were keeping a close eye on him, ready to make a move at any time. People with close ties to him might be in danger.
While Gu Changge didn’t have deep feelings for the two women, he didn’t want them to get caught up in these dangerous situations and lose their lives for no reason. He wouldn’t go to great power to protect them like he did for Yue Mingkong.
“Greetings, Young Master.”
Yan Ji and Lin Qiuhuan stood before Gu Changge with some restraint. They were pleasantly surprised that he had taken the initiative to meet them, but they were also aware of the stark difference in their statuses compared to when they first arrived in the upper realms.
“In my presence, there’s no need for excessive formality.” Gu Changge smiled slightly, his demeanor as graceful as ever.
In a moment of fantasy, Lin Qiuhuan recalled the first time she had met Gu Changge. He had appeared in the Lin family’s hall like a young God, radiating a youthful and elegant charm. His appearance, speech, and knowledge had left her profoundly enchanted and fascinated, unable to free herself.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Changge had become the true ruler of the vast upper realms, holding the power of life and death over countless star fields with a single word.
“Congratulations on your wedding today, Master.”
Yan Ji also seemed lost in memories, and a surge of recollections washed over her. She then bowed slightly.
If Gu Changge hadn’t brought her to the upper realms in the first place, she might have already perished, even if she had reached the current quasi-supreme cultivation level.
She was more grateful to Gu Changge than she was in awe of him. Gu Changge smiled slightly and caught up with them, reminiscing about the past and inquiring about their recent circumstances. He also explained to Lin Qiuhan why he had not visited them earlier.
Before parting ways, he asked Lin Qiuhuan to gather information on the refining method of the Purple Pill. He wanted to use this pill to help those around him elevate their cultivation.
Lin Qiuhuan had previously informed him that she had only found some fragmented records and not the actual pill formula, so Gu Changge had given up on the idea.
However, to his surprise, there was a bit of good news today. “Not long ago, I found records of the Purple Pill elixir in the notes of a senior from the Purple Pill Sect. Perhaps in his cave dwelling, where he later ascended, there might be scrolls or jade slips that contain the formula for the Purple Pill elixir,” Lin Qiuhuan explained with a smile.
Her eyes lit up when she mentioned the Purple Pill elixir. In her eyes, she had received Gu Changge’s care for so long, and now she finally had the opportunity to repay his kindness.
“The Purple Pill elixir? If that’s the case, I’d be interested in seeing just how extraordinary this rumored pill, capable of transcending into immortality, really is,” Gu Changge nodded.
Long before ancient times, in the vast expanse of the upper realms, there was a sect known for alchemy called the Pill Sect, which was situated in an ancient and powerful world known as the Pill World.
However, the Pill World faced divine retribution because it had successfully refined a pill that was never meant to exist in the mortal world. For thousands of years, it endured the strikes of the chaotic primordial actual thunder from the deepest parts of chaos.
The ancient world eventually collapsed, turning into ashes and disappearing into the river of history.
As far as Gu Changge knew, that forbidden pill was called the Purple Pole Immortal Pill.
The Purple Pill elixir that followed was a reduced version. However, it was still tainted with tremendous karmic consequences, causing many alchemy sects that possessed this formula to meet their downfall.
“In that case, I’ll trouble Qiuhan with the matter regarding the Purple Pill elixir,” Gu Changge smiled and said, “It’s not a problem at all. Being able to assist the Master was Lin Qiuhan’s honor.”
After chatting with Yan Ji, Lin Qiuhuan, and the others, Gu Changge went his separate way, picking up a jug of wine from a nearby maid and a white jade wine cup.
“Be safe.”
The woman in the phoenix cloak had a plum blossom mark between her eyebrows, with a gorgeous appearance and a cold and solitary demeanor, which added a unique allure to her. She was none other than the Empress Xi Yao of the Demon Realm.
In fact, Gu Changge had yet to expect her to appear here and in her proper form rather than as an incarnation.
“Gu Changge…”
Empress Xi Yao, who had been raising her wine cup to drink, was momentarily taken aback. It seemed she hadn’t expected Gu Changge to notice and approach her willingly.
A self-deprecating smile curved on her lips briefly. Still, she quickly reverted to her cold, noble, and imposing demeanor, exuding an icy aura, much like the supreme Demon Empress she was.
The two of them had met at the True Immortal Academy. At the time, Gu Changge was merely the young leader of his generation, with terrifying power and unparalleled talent. However, in her eyes, she had regarded him as a junior.
It wasn’t until Gu Changge saw through her many worries and understood the sacrifices she had made for the Demon Realm, even considering her as a potential eternal emperor, that Empress Xi Yao changed her view of him.
She no longer saw him as a junior but as a rare confidant. She had even written personal letters to inform him about various matters concerning the Demon Realm.
She had even believed that Gu Changge saw her in the same way, but it was only after he arrived in the Demon Realm and a series of events that she suddenly realized his true nature. This disappointment was accompanied by a deep sense of loss.
However, it couldn’t be denied that Gu Changge was the only man who had entered her heart in her entire life.
Before Gu Changge left the Demon Realm, he also had sex with her.
But in Empress Xi Yao’s view, those moments were like a passing spring breeze, leaving no trace afterward. Neither of them had attached much significance to it.
During the half-year when she heard about Gu Changge’s upcoming wedding with Yue Ming Kong, Empress Xi Yao often found herself restless, with numerous thoughts and memories flooding her mind.
In reality, if it weren’t for Gu Changge, her current fate would not have been so favorable. After all, if the five Demon Emperors had not disappeared suddenly, she wouldn’t have had the great fortune of unifying the Demon Realm.
