In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 430 Those who obey me prosper, those who defy me perish.
The next day, once the Mingyu Pill was finished, Gu Shaoan immediately took Zhou Zhiruo and Yang Yan to the back of Mount Da'e.

As the pill bottle was opened, several Mingyu Pills were drawn out by Gu Shaoan with his internal energy and floated in front of Miejue and the others. Miejue and the others raised their hands and picked up the pills in front of them.

The pill was about the size of a grape, and its entire body was pure white, like bright jade. If it weren't for the strange feel, Miejue and the others would have thought that the thing in their hands was a real jade bead rather than a pill.

After examining the pill in her hand for a few moments, Abbess Miejue put it into her mouth.

With a movement of the throat, the pill entered the stomach.

At first there was no burning or impact.

In less than three breaths, a cool yet warm medicinal power rose from his abdomen, like a spring gushing from a deep pool, spreading slowly along his meridians.

Abbess Miejue slightly furrowed her brows and instinctively circulated her Emei internal energy to guide the medicinal power. However, she found that the medicinal power was extremely obedient, not competing with her true essence. Instead, it seemed to naturally harmonize with her true essence, and it flowed independently by the movement of her true essence.

Once the medicinal power reached a certain level, it naturally split into several streams.

Part of it flows steadily along the Ren and Du meridians and the twelve regular meridians, and wherever it passes, this medicinal power, like returning to its nest, slowly adheres to the outer edges of the five internal organs.

Every part looks as if it is covered with an extremely thin jade film.

Immediately afterwards, another portion of the medicinal power first dispersed slightly in the body, and then quickly sank into the liver and kidney organs along the liver and kidney meridians.

This allowed Miejue to clearly feel a warm sensation rising in her liver and kidneys.

And the medicinal power that enters these organs and kidneys is the core of Mingyu Dan.

The liver and kidneys are the body's detoxification sites.

After the medicinal power of Mingyu Dan is integrated into the liver and kidneys, it can enhance the liver and kidneys' detoxification ability. Combined with the medicinal power that is attached to the meridians and internal organs, it can achieve immunity to all poisons.

Just then, a surge of potent medicinal power followed.

As these medicinal effects rose from her abdomen, Abbess Miejue's true essence rushed towards them like a cat smelling fish.

Abbess Miejue calmed her mind, seemingly sensing something. She focused her spirit and manipulated her true energy to travel rapidly along the predetermined route through her meridians, increasing her speed by several times in the blink of an eye.

A moment later, in Gu Shaoan's perception, a "humming" sound suddenly came from Abbess Miejue's body.

Feeling the intense true energy fluctuations within Abbess Miejue's body, Gu Shaoan raised an eyebrow.

The reason why Abbess Miejue was unclear was because the increased power of the Mingyu Pill led to a breakthrough in her internal strength.

Noticing Abbess Miejue's condition, Gu Shaoan lightly waved his wide sleeves, and the Yin and Yang energies mixed with the Gang Yuan silently insulated the courtyard, enveloping Juechen, Zhou Zhiruo, Yang Yan, and Mei Jiangxue.

With a light tap of his toes, Gu Shaoan used his internal energy to move Abbess Juechen and the others to an open space outside the courtyard where they sat down.

Seemingly sensing the unusual movement of their bodies, Juechen and the others subconsciously opened their eyes.

The moment they looked up and saw Gu Shaoan, they immediately closed their eyes again, reassured, and continued to focus on the effects of the medicine in their bodies.

"Po~"

After a long while, a sound suddenly came from Abbess Miejue's body, as if something had been punctured.

In that instant, the true essence circulating wildly within Abbess Miejue's body suddenly stopped, as if an invisible hand had pressed down on her throat, and her entire dantian fell silent for a moment.

The next moment, her true energy surged and circulated at a speed far exceeding what it had been before, like a river suddenly changing course, rushing straight towards the depths of her dantian.

With this sudden increase in the intensity of the process, the subsequent medicinal power of Mingyu Pill was also completely drawn in, transforming into streams of pure nutrients that continuously flowed into the true essence.

compression.

concise.

Compress it again.

Within Abbess Miejue's dantian, the true essence, which was originally like water, was being continuously "squeezed" towards a single point, becoming heavier and denser, as if a lake of water had been forcibly refined into an essence as thick as lead and mercury.

I don't know how much time passed.

It might be just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, or it might take longer.

Suddenly, deep within Abbess Miejue's dantian, a tiny yet pure light shone forth.

The light was not as bright as the previous true essence, but rather a restrained and profound aura.

After an incense stick's time, under Gu Shaoan's watchful gaze, the internal energy within Abbess Miejue began to surge out of her body like a flood.

Then, centered on Abbess Miejue, within a radius of one zhang, the air seemed to be compressed by an invisible force field, and faint crackling sounds could be heard.

The fallen leaves and dust on the ground were swirled up, but instead of flying around, they were pressed down by an extremely strong aura and spun close to the ground, like tiny eddies swirling around her.

A moment later, the internal energy within Abbess Miejue gradually stabilized, and the surrounding internal energy also began to converge and contract until it condensed into a pale golden protective aura three feet away from Abbess Miejue.

"It's done!"

Seeing the protective aura surrounding Abbess Miejue, Gu Shaoan smiled.

Inside the courtyard, Abbess Miejue opened her eyes and looked at the protective aura surrounding her, which was formed from the essence of the Qi. A look of joy appeared on her face.

"I've entered the Realm of Condensing Yuan Qi into Gang Qi!"

Even though Abbess Miejue had cultivated her character and temperament over the past few years, making her more composed than she had been years ago, she was still overwhelmed with emotion as she faced the challenge of reaching the level of Condensing Yuan and Forming Gang in her internal energy cultivation. She found it difficult to calm down for a long time.

"Congratulations, Master, on your further advancement in internal strength, which has propelled you into the ranks of top masters in this era."

Just then, Gu Shaoan's voice suddenly rang out.

When her gaze fell on Gu Shaoan, who was walking into the courtyard with a smile on his face, Abbess Miejue's expression softened as well.

After glancing at the few people outside the courtyard who were still refining the medicinal power, Abbess Miejue turned her gaze back to Gu Shaoan.

He then shook his head and said, "Given Master's situation, even top-tier experts are only among the bottom tier."

Abbess Miejue's words were not self-deprecation, but a fact.

Miejue's innate talent and comprehension were not very good. In the past, Miejue's innate talent was not very good. Although she later switched to studying the "Emei Nine Yang True Scripture" provided by Gu Shaoan, which solidified her foundation, she was still old and her own power was insufficient. Among martial artists of the same level, she was only at a level that was neither above nor below.

If it weren't for the "Yi Jin Duan Gu Pian" chapter in the Nine Yin Manual and the pills given by Gu Shaoan, which elevated her physical constitution to an unparalleled level, her limited comprehension would have prevented Abbess Miejue's cultivation progress from being particularly impressive.

In terms of internal strength cultivation, the "Emei Nine Yang True Scripture" does not progress as steadily as Gu Shaoan, Yang Yan, Zhou Zhiruo, and Mei Jiangxue, who cultivated each level to perfection before attempting the next.

In terms of martial arts, even now, Abbess Miejue has not mastered any martial art to the point of transforming form into meaning, nor has she comprehended her own "momentum".

Not to mention compared to Gu Shaoan now, even when Gu Shaoan was in the Qi Condensation stage, his strength was higher than that of Abbess Miejue.

In response, Gu Shaoan smiled and said, "Now the Emei Sect is thriving, and the eldest and third senior sisters are handling the affairs of the sect in an orderly manner. Master and the two senior uncles will have more time to study martial arts in the future, and their strength will naturally improve gradually. There is plenty of time in the future, so Master does not need to rush."

"On the contrary, the earlier one enters the realm of internal energy cultivation and reaches the stage of condensing essence into qi, the sooner one can hope to condense the three flowers of essence, qi and spirit, and prepare for the breakthrough to the Celestial Realm."

Hearing what Gu Shaoan said, Abbess Miejue chuckled and said, "You're lecturing your teacher now."

Before Gu Shaoan could respond, Abbess Miejue continued, "However, Shaoan, you are right. There is plenty of time. With you in charge of the Emei Sect, I don't need to be too anxious."

After speaking, she paused for a moment, then her tone softened as she said, "I owe my achievements today to you!"

Gu Shaoan smiled and said, "We're all family. If I have something good, why shouldn't I use it on you, Master? Should I give it to someone else?"

Seeing Gu Shaoan's carefree demeanor, Abbess Miejue's smile lingered.

If it were in the past, if Miejue could one day reach the level of Condensing Yuan Qi and become one of the top masters of the world, it would definitely be the proudest thing in her life.

But now, for Miejue, the thing she is most proud of in her life is having a disciple like Gu Shaoan.

A few breaths later, Abbess Miejue changed the subject, asking, "Why didn't you take the Bright Jade Pill?"

Gu Shaoan replied, "I absorbed too much of the power of the 'Wedding Dress Divine Skill' from Miss Huang before. My internal power has not been fully refined yet. Taking the Mingyu Pill at this time will only make my power more mixed and chaotic."

Gu Shaoan had mentioned before that he had absorbed Huang Xuemei's internal energy.

When Gu Shaoan mentioned it, Abbess Miejue immediately understood the reason.

While the two were chatting, the others outside the courtyard, including Juechen, also finished refining all the medicinal power in their bodies.

Although Abbess Wujue and Abbess Juechen have been diligently cultivating over the years, they are not like Miejue, who had a sudden enlightenment on Mount Wudang a few years ago, and their skills are much more profound than the two of them.

Given their current situation, it may take a few more years, until the "Emei Nine Yang True Scripture" advances further, before they can reach the level of "Condensing Yuan and Forming Gang".

At this moment, Abbess Miejue had just entered the stage of Condensing Yuan Qi into Gang Qi, and the fluctuations of Gang Qi within her body were obvious.

Naturally, as soon as the group entered the courtyard, they immediately sensed the fluctuations of Qi within Abbess Miejue's body.

For a moment, everyone's faces lit up with joy.

After a moment, Abbess Juejue spoke up: "Last time, after our sect leader entered the Qi Condensation stage, she showed off her strength during the Hengshan Sect's succession ceremony, which intimidated the surrounding villains. Now that our sect leader has successfully entered the Qi Condensation stage, why don't we find another opportunity?"

However, Gu Shaoan shook his head at the suggestion of the abbess.

"The timing is wrong."

As soon as Gu Shaoan spoke, everyone in the courtyard turned their attention to him.

Meeting their gazes, Gu Shaoan explained, "According to Zhu Houzhao, the imperial court will likely arrange for the Azure Dragon Society to re-emerge in the martial world. The best way for a force to unify the martial world in the shortest time, or even have the right to command it, is to demonstrate its strength."

A sudden thought flashed through Abbess Juechen's mind as she asked, "Shao'an, do you mean that after the Azure Dragon Society re-emerges in the martial world, the imperial court will arrange for the Azure Dragon Society to take action against other forces in the martial world?"

Gu Shaoan nodded and said, "Not bad!"

Abbess Miejue's expression hardened slightly as she said, "If the imperial court wants to establish the Azure Dragon Society's prestige in the martial arts world and make an example of them, it's unlikely that the target they've chosen is either Wudang or Shaolin, those tough nuts to crack, or even those low-level forces in the martial arts world."

"Therefore, the Azure Dragon Society's targets will only be the top-tier forces in the martial arts world of the Great Wei Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, not only Abbess Miejue, but also the expressions of the others suddenly became serious.

Master Juechen analyzed: "Nowadays, in the Jianghu of the Great Wei Kingdom, besides my Emei Sect, the only first-class forces are Cihang Jingzhai, Nujiao Gang, Xieyimen, Jinqian Gang, Shendaotang, Tianlongmen, Zangtianjiao, and Baisha Gang."

“Shao’an has an agreement with Zhu Houzhao, and Zhu Houzhao also wants Shao’an to help cure his illness, so my Emei Sect should not be chosen as a target by the Azure Dragon Society. Shangguan Jin Hong of the Money Gang is the head of the Azure Dragon Society, and Cihang Jingzhai has always been the government’s representative in the martial arts world, and has a close relationship with the government.”

"If we calculate it that way, the Azure Dragon Society will only be able to select targets from seven first-class forces, such as the Angry Dragon Gang, the Evil Sect, and the Heavenly Dragon Sect."

At this moment, Abbess Wujue looked at Gu Shaoan and said, "Shaoan, during your conversation with Zhu Houzhao, did he mention which forces he would have the Azure Dragon Society deal with?"

After a moment's thought, Gu Shaoan replied, "Zhu Houzhao is very shrewd; he hasn't mentioned these things to me on his own initiative."

At this point, Gu Shaoan changed the subject, saying, "However, Zhu Houzhao is extremely ambitious. This time, he is using the Azure Dragon Society to try to bring the entire martial arts world under the control of the imperial court. Therefore, Zhu Houzhao's goal may not be as simple as just making an example of someone."

"I'm afraid that once the Azure Dragon Society re-emerges, the principles they follow will be rather extreme."

After a pause, Gu Shaoan slowly uttered the last sentence.

"Those who obey me will prosper, those who oppose me will perish."

Upon hearing those eight words, the expressions on the faces of the people present changed slightly.

Taking in the reactions of the others, Gu Shaoan sighed softly to himself.

If the original plot had continued, once the Azure Dragon Society re-emerged, it would have swept through the land, first annihilating the four major factions: the Round Moon Sect, the Heavenly Dragon Sect, the Burial Heaven Sect, and the Divine Blade Hall.

Subsequently, the Money Gang, Cihang Jingzhai, Baisha Gang, and Nujiao Gang chose to submit, and Li Ruohai, the leader of the Evil Sect, personally disbanded the Evil Sect and went into seclusion in the mountains.

From then on, the vast Wei Kingdom had only a handful of first-rate powers.

It was also because of the weakness of the martial arts world in the Great Wei Kingdom that all the Celestial Realm masters in the imperial court died in the Great Yuan Kingdom. This made it so that when Li Shimin established the Great Tang Dynasty in the Great Sui Kingdom, the martial arts world of the Great Wei Kingdom was almost powerless to fight back against the invasion of the Li Tang masters.

Faced with the Celestial Realm experts from the Li Tang side, the imperial court, without any powerful figures to oversee it, was like someone else's backyard.

Shaolin and Wudang, having lost their momentum, had no choice but to remain closed off from the world.

Ultimately, this enabled the Li Tang dynasty to successfully annex the Wei and Yuan kingdoms.
