Battle Through the Heavens: The Rock King Emperor's Leisurely Wanderings in the Mortal World

Chapter 91 Liu Ling can't handle the strange fire, let me handle it.

Yunlan Sect.

Since Yun Yun returned to the sect with the Purple Spirit Crystal, she has entrusted all sect affairs to Nalan Yanran. It is quite rare for Yun Yun to become a hands-off manager.

Nalan Yanran also had a rare opportunity to experience what it was like to be the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect.

However, one cannot know the difficulty without experiencing it. Only after Nalan Yanran began to handle a whole day's affairs like Yun Yun did she truly understand the hardships her master endured every day.

At first, Nalan Yanran was able to manage sect affairs with her enthusiasm and excitement.

But after only three days, she felt that boredom and tedium were ever-present.

"Sigh, how do teachers manage to stick to such a boring job year after year?" Nalan Yanran leaned back in her chair, her expression showing a hint of despair.

"Maybe we should just give up. I suddenly feel that I'm better off not being the young sect leader."

With a creak, the door to the sect leader's mansion was pushed open, and Gu He strode in from outside.

Nalan Yanran rolled her eyes inwardly and muttered to herself, "Honestly, they took advantage of my master's absence and even skipped the most basic courtesy of knocking before entering the sect leader's mansion."

"Oh, Yanran, busy?" Guhe casually found a chair at the table and sat down in a carefree manner.

Although Nalan Yanran was startled by Gu He's sudden intrusion, she did not react out of consideration for Gu He's status and position, and simply responded with a faint "hmm".

Seeing that Nalan Yanran was ignoring him, Gu He tried to find another topic to start a conversation.

Then, in Nalan Yanran's perception, a strange fragrance of elixir quietly lingered around her nose.

Nalan Yanran leaned closer, took a light sniff, and seemed to understand something. A look of surprise immediately appeared on her face as she turned to look at Gu He.

Gu He was holding an exquisite white and blue jade bottle in his hand, and a refreshing fragrance of elixir was wafting out from the bottle's mouth.

"Elder Guhe, this is..."

"Haha, Yanran, some time ago, Yun'er asked me to refine this Rank 6 Wind and Purple Spirit Pill so that you could improve your cultivation. Originally, medicinal materials were quite scarce, but Yun'er was so concerned about you that she went to the Monster Beast Mountain Range to find Purple Spirit Crystals for you while I was preparing to devour the Strange Flame. I also hoped that you could improve your strength as soon as possible so that you could help your master more in the future. So I added some money and asked the Mittel family to send over the ingredients for the Wind and Purple Spirit Pill ahead of time. Fortunately, I did not fail. After one failure, I finally succeeded in refining it."

After Gu He finished speaking, his movements seemed casual, as if he was just casually fiddling with the objects in his hands. With a flick of his slightly rough fingers, the medicine bottle containing the sixth-grade pills was thrown straight towards Nalan Yanran like an arrow.

Nalan Yanran's brows furrowed slightly, a hint of seriousness flashing in her eyes. She knew the preciousness and extraordinary nature of this pill and dared not be careless in the slightest. She quickly circulated her wind element battle qi, precisely controlling the strength and direction, so that the medicine bottle landed steadily in her hand, and then gently fell without making a sound.

"This Wind-Glaze Purple Spirit Pill will increase your cultivation speed to three times your normal speed for the next two months. As time goes by, the effect will gradually weaken, and by the third month, it will only increase it by two or two and a half times. The cultivation acceleration effect will not completely dissipate until the fifth month. Therefore, before you take this pill, you should try to arrange your affairs properly, such as having your master come and handle some matters for you, so that you can devote yourself to cultivation without being affected by external interference."

"I am deeply grateful to Elder Mengguhe for bestowing upon me the elixir. However, since my master returned from the Monster Mountain Range, he has often been frowning and locks himself in his room as if he is looking for something."

"Oh? I usually immerse myself in the alchemy room, studying the art of alchemy, and know very little about Sect Master Yun's inner world. If Sect Master Yun encounters any troubles or has any need for elixirs, I will certainly do my best to help him."

Nalan Yanran looked slightly embarrassed. Although she had never been in a relationship, she still had some understanding of matters between men and women.

Nalan Yanran was also puzzled by the relationship between Gu He and his master, Liu Ling. She and her master had both clearly and earnestly refused, yet the two's feelings remained passionate and persistent, which Nalan Yanran found difficult to understand. Why did they have to be interested in her and her master? This question lingered in her mind like a fog, refusing to dissipate.

What puzzled her even more was that their methods of pursuing their goals were almost identical. It was as if they were following a set pattern, without any innovation or change.

"Hmm... I guess Master might want to be alone for a while. After all, one cannot rely entirely on external elixirs and the like; the ability to regulate one's own emotions is crucial. Besides, we girls all have a few days each month when we're not in a good mood. Elder Guhe, as an alchemist, must have some knowledge of medicine, so I don't need to elaborate."

"Ah... hahaha, I understand what you mean. However, if my calculations are correct, Yun'er has been back in the sect for almost twenty days. Currently, all matters of the sect, large and small, are still handled entirely by you, the young sect leader, perhaps more to temper you. However, Yun'er seemed to have encountered some difficulties upon her return, but I think twenty days should be enough for her to adjust. Actually, my main purpose in coming here is to discuss the matter of obtaining the strange fire with Sect Leader Yun. I wonder if Yanran could lead the way so I can have a detailed discussion with Yun'er?"

"A strange fire?!" Nalan Yanran stopped upon hearing this, startled. She immediately followed up with, "Elder Guhe, are you referring to the strange fire of the Xiao family?"

"Indeed, this news was told to me by that brat Liu Ling. He actually dared to try to get me to help him devour that strange fire, he really doesn't know his own limitations. The strange fire is so dangerous that even I, as his master, wouldn't dare to be completely confident in devouring and absorbing it. Such a violent and terrifying thing, that brat Liu Ling is definitely not capable of handling. It would be better for me, his master, to absorb it for him. In this way, my alchemy efficiency will definitely be greatly improved, and I might even be able to break through to the seventh-grade alchemist realm with the power of the strange fire. At that time, it will be of great benefit to both myself and the Yunlan Sect, and there will be absolutely no harm."
