Battle Through the Heavens: He marries Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate the marriage!

Chapter 181 Xun'er: You think you're qualified to question Brother Gu Fei?

"That woman from the Medicine Clan... I've heard she always has a cold, aloof expression, like she's someone you shouldn't approach..."

"Yeah, she's not that good-looking, but she insists on putting on this icy beauty act!"

"Your cultivation progress isn't much better either, you're far behind Xun'er..."

These ancient clan girls naturally knew what Xun'er was thinking, so they spoke disparagingly of the medicine clan woman.

"is that so?"

Although Xun'er understood the flattery in their words, she was still happy.

"I'll go take a look!"

However, Xun'er was still a little curious.

The ancient races did not have very close interactions, so the sudden visit of the Medicine Clan delegation must have some purpose.

……

"Hehe, I've heard that Gu Fei, the grandson of the Black Annihilation King, once refined a ninth-grade precious pill. I wonder which genius in the palace it was..."

Inside the main hall, while chatting with the elders of the ancient clan, Yao Wangui glanced at several young powerhouses of the ancient clan and then asked a question.

"Gu Fei did not come here; he has been in seclusion for a year!"

Gu Nanhai shook his head.

"Oh?"

"Such diligent cultivation, truly worthy of being the number one prodigy of this era..."

Upon learning that Gu Fei was in seclusion and had not come, Yao Wangui appeared somewhat disappointed.

When he said that Gu Fei was the number one genius of the world, a cold glint flashed in Yao Tian's eyes.

As fellow prodigies, he naturally didn't want to admit that he was inferior to others. Moreover, Gu Fei's many achievements were just rumors, and he had never personally witnessed Gu Fei refine a ninth-grade precious pill.

The Medicine Clan has always been proud of its alchemy skills, believing that no one can surpass it.

Even the so-called Dan Gathering held by the Central Plains Dan Tower was nothing more than children playing house in their eyes, not worth mentioning.

"Gu Fei has achieved such results at such a young age. I wonder which alchemy master he studied under?" Yao Wangui continued to ask.

"I've never heard of that before... Perhaps Gu Fei is self-taught!"

"Our ancient clan possesses countless ancient texts, and even the art of alchemy is vast and profound. It's perfectly normal for Gu Fei to have learned alchemy on his own!"

Although the elders of the ancient clan were also somewhat puzzled, they did not pay much attention to it, because many of them had personally witnessed Gu Fei refining pills.

"Self-taught... to refine a ninth-grade precious elixir just by flipping through ancient texts! What a joke!"

"If that's really the case, then wouldn't the power of my Medicine Clan's bloodline be useless?"

Upon hearing the elders' reply, Yao Tian's lips curled into a sneer, followed by a hint of anger.

As a member of the Medicine Clan, he knew very well that without a good teacher to guide him and impart his experience in alchemy, it would be absolutely impossible for someone to comprehend the classics of alchemy and achieve such success through self-study.

To the Medicine Clan, the ancient clan's words sounded like a deliberate boast, implying that the Medicine Clan's inherited power of the Medicine Emperor's bloodline was actually quite useless...

"You all jest... In my opinion, young friend Gu Fei must have had some kind of encounter, meeting a reclusive master who taught him the art of alchemy, but that master cannot reveal his identity!"

Yao Wangui also felt that the ancient clan's actions were mocking the uselessness of their Yao clan's bloodline. However, as the Yao clan's elder of punishments, his every word and action represented the Yao clan, so even so, he could not say anything too extreme.

"Perhaps!"

The ancient clan elders didn't discuss it further, nodded, and continued talking about other things.

"Junior Yao Tian, ​​I've heard that Gu Fei once successfully refined a Grade Nine Precious Pill. I wonder if I'll have the opportunity to learn from him?"

At one point, Yao Tian, ​​who had been sitting and drinking alone, finally couldn't hold back any longer and made a request to several elders at the banquet.

After sitting for so long, the members of the Medicine Clan finally revealed the purpose of their visit.

Recently, rumors have been circulating among the various ancient races that Gu Fei will be the strongest alchemist on the continent, and even the Medicine Clan will be overshadowed by Gu Fei's brilliance.

Therefore, the Medicine Clan decided to come to the Ancient Clan to investigate the truth and see if Gu Fei was really as extraordinary as rumored.

"You think you can learn alchemy from Brother Gu Fei? I advise you not to go and humiliate yourself!"

Just then, a clear, cold voice came from the entrance of the main hall.

Everyone turned their gaze toward the entrance of the main hall, where a woman in green appeared.

The speaker was Xun'er, who had come here. She had sensed the doubt in Yao Tian's words about Gu Fei, which was why she spoke sarcastically.

Inside the main hall, a group of ancient clan elders, who had already frowned because of Yao Tian's words, now frowned even more deeply.

Although the Medicine Clan's actions were slightly provocative, they were merely a request for guidance and were not a big deal in terms of reason or sentiment; it was simply a matter of competition among the younger generation.

Xun'er's words were an undisguised insult to Yao Tian.

This will strain the relationship between the two parties.

"Whether it's humiliating or not, you'll only know by trying!"

Yao Tian's eyes turned red as he roared angrily.

"Brother Gu Fei doesn't have that much free time. He's currently in seclusion, and I won't allow anyone to disturb him until then!"

Xun'er paid no attention to Yao Tian's reddened eyes and said something to herself.

"Gu Fei is probably avoiding us because he's worried about being exposed by our Medicine Clan!"

"I think that so-called ninth-grade grandmaster is completely fictitious..."

"Yao Tian, ​​this is the Ancient Realm. Your words and actions represent my Yao Clan. Don't go too far..."

Yao Tian's words became increasingly intense.

Fortunately, Yao Wangui's timely telepathic warning stopped him, which made him restrain himself.

"In that case, I'll wait for him in the Ancient Realm. He'll emerge from seclusion one day!"

Yao Tian calmed down and spoke in a cold tone.

"Hehe, everyone, my Medicine Clan has absolutely no intention of questioning this. Let's just consider this an exchange between the young people; it's no big deal!"

Yao Wangui's timely replenishment was intended to ease the atmosphere in the main hall.

"Since Yao Tian is in such high spirits, let's stay a little longer..."

Although many elders of the ancient clan were unhappy with the Medicine Clan's actions, they knew that refusing at this moment would likely make the other party feel guilty.

"Since you insist on humiliating yourself, don't regret it later..." Xun'er glanced coldly at Yao Tian, ​​then left.

……

The Netherworld and the Yellow Springs.

Gu Fei, one of the parties involved in the events that occurred in the ancient clan's main hall, was completely unaware of what was happening. At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged beside the Yellow Springs, and time seemed to have stood still.

The surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) continuously converged towards him.

"Why is it so slow!"

Not far from Gu Fei, Zi Yan rested her chin on her hand, seemingly lost in thought.

She had already digested the essence of the demon saint long ago and had now reached the late stage of the fourth star.
