From Princess in the Cold Palace to Empress in Heaven

Ye Ruoshui snuggled in her arms, like a lazy cat, and slowly opened her eyes.

"woke up?"

Xiao Minghuang smiled, raised his hand and smoothed the messy hair on Ye Ruoshui's forehead with extremely gentle movements.

"Um..."

Ye Ruoshui moaned, her pretty face flushed as she snuggled into Xiao Minghuang's arms and closed her eyes shyly.

"hehe."

Seeing this, Xiao Minghuang's lips curled up into a warm arc, and he reached out to hug Ye Ruoshui's slender waist.

The two hugged each other quietly, enjoying the rare tranquility.

a long time.

"Your Highness, I have refined some pills during this period. You can take them with you later."

"Yes." Xiao Minghuang nodded, "When will you leave the Holy Academy? Tell me then, and I'll go with you if I'm free."

"it is good!"

Ye Ruoshui responded.

The two of them were dressed neatly, and Ye Ruoshui handed a storage bag containing a large number of pills to Xiao Minghuang.

After Xiao Minghuang's operations, she left the cave with the compensation from the system.

She did not go back to practice immediately, but went to Baiwen Pavilion.

"There are still eight days left until the one-month deadline. I will go to the young pavilion master to ask for the elixir. After I get the elixir, I will give it to Ruoshui. If Ruoshui can research the formula of the elixir, it will be great. If not, it will be a happy thing to get compensation."

262. A great sage must have a different life

Xiao Minghuang thought to himself and soon arrived outside the Baiwen Pavilion.

With the token given by Xu Xiuer, she had a smooth journey and came directly to the top floor of Baiwen Pavilion.

But the last guard stopped her.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"Xiao Minghuang, a disciple from the Second Academy, wants to see the young Pavilion Master for something important."

Xiao Minghuang took out the token of the Second Hospital from his sleeve and showed it.

The guard glanced at her token and said, "Wait a moment..."

The words have not yet fallen.

A voice sounded in the void.

"Let her in."

The guard's expression suddenly froze, he took a half step back and said no more.

At the same time, the palace door slowly opened.

Xiao Minghuang entered the formation behind the palace gate, and the next moment he came to the empty hall.

Gu Qingyu was dressed in a green shirt, sitting cross-legged in mid-air, slowly opened her eyes, and asked, "How are you doing in the Second Hospital?"

"Reporting to the young Pavilion Master, I have settled down in the back mountain of the Second Academy's main peak, but except for when I just returned, I have not seen Master Mu again."

Xiao Minghuang responded respectfully.

Hearing this, Gu Qingyu nodded, "She probably won't believe you so quickly, you have to be patient. I've given you ten years, there's still a lot of time, just take it slow."

"You are here to get the Chen Fan Ling Dan, right? Here you go..."

As she spoke, her eyes flashed, the void twisted, and a palm-sized porcelain bottle emerged out of thin air and flew in front of Xiao Minghuang.

"There are a total of sixty pills in this bottle, which is enough for you to use for five years. During this period, don't run around. Concentrate on practicing and preparing for the Tiangang Conference."

Hearing this, a strange look flashed in Xiao Minghuang's eyes.

What does Gu Qingyu mean by this?

The first one he took out was a five-year-old elixir!

Are you testing her?

"This... I am unworthy of this gift and I dare not accept it."

Gu Qingyu frowned and said, "Just take it if I tell you to!"

"Also, you must achieve a top ten score in the Tiangang Conference. I guess this shouldn't be a big deal to you, right?"

As she spoke, she waved her hand again, and the small porcelain bottle flew into Xiao Minghuang's sleeve and accurately landed in her hand.

When Gu Qingyu said this, Xiao Minghuang realized that she was not testing him, so he stopped being polite, and with a happy face, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, young Pavilion Master. I will definitely get a place in the Tiangang Conference and live up to your high expectations!"

"Hehe...you don't have to be so grateful to me. If you can't get a place in the Tiangang Conference, even I can't recommend you to the Palace Master. What we have is just a deal. You have to understand your situation!"

Gu Qingyu said indifferently.

The joy on Xiao Minghuang's face faded, and he whispered, "Junior will remember this!"

"If the young Pavilion Master has no other instructions, I will take my leave."

"Um..."

Xiao Minghuang turned and left.

But when she had just taken a few steps and was about to step into the formation, Gu Qingyu's voice suddenly sounded behind her again.

"You can't take too many Zaichen Fanling Pills at one time. You can only take three pills per month. Your realm is too low. If you take too much, you will explode. Remember this!"

Hearing this instruction, Xiao Minghuang was slightly stunned, and quickly responded:

"Thank you for the reminder, young master. I will definitely keep it in mind."

"Go!"

Gu Qingyu waved her hand.

Xiao Minghuang bowed and left, and disappeared after a moment.

After she left, the empty hall returned to peace.

Gu Qingyu narrowed her eyes slightly, her mind a little confused.

She didn't know why she helped Xiao Minghuang.

I just had this idea suddenly. Maybe I don't want to see a young man with a bright future go astray, or maybe I am just happy to see a beautiful woman...

In short, she didn't plan to use Xiao Minghuang anymore.

As for Mu Qingkong...

She suddenly felt that she didn't like it as much as she thought.

The only time she met Mu Qingkong was three thousand years ago.

At that time, she and Mu Qingkong were no more than a hundred years old, and were collectively known as the "two beauties of a generation gone by."

Although the two are equally famous, Mu Qingkong has been practicing in the North Sea and only his reputation is spread in the Holy Academy.

And she had been assisting the old Pavilion Master in handling daily affairs for a long time, and everyone in the Holy Academy knew about it.

Later one day, Mu Qingkong suddenly returned from the North Sea, and before her, he passed the tribulation and became a saint.

This made her very unhappy.

But at Mu Qingkong's Longevity Banquet, she finally met this woman who was as famous as her.

Mu Qingkong was dressed in white clothes that was whiter than snow, with fair skin and delicate bones. She looked cold and indifferent, but she exuded an lovable aura.

Even though she was not friendly to Mu Qingkong, and even had some hostility towards him, she still couldn't help but feel her mind wavering and her heart beating fast.

It was at this moment that she wavered and developed a liking for Mu Qingkong.

Later, this feeling of goodwill grew stronger in my heart and could not be forgotten.

As time passed, the events of the past gradually faded away, and she even forgot what Mu Qingkong looked like.

Only the faint emotion of that year remains lingering in my heart.

"I am obsessed..."

Gu Qingyu sighed deeply.

She gathered her confused thoughts and murmured:

"Let the past be the past, what's important is the present..."

After saying that, she raised her slender, snow-white jade finger and drew a circle in the air. A round mirror as crystal clear as jade appeared out of thin air.

"Let me take a look at where you came from..."

The mirror did not reflect Gu Qingyu's appearance, but instead showed Xiao Minghuang's figure.

"The Great Retrospection Technique can trace back all the past. As long as it happened in this world, I can sense something!"

Gu Qingyu whispered softly. This magical power was created by her own comprehension. It is of little use to the monks in the Saint Realm, as it is difficult to get a glimpse into their past. But for the monks below the Saint Realm, it is like a magic mirror. Under this magical power, all experiences are exposed!

As she urged her telekinesis, a picture soon appeared in the mirror -

A baby was born in a magnificent palace.

This is the time when Xiao Minghuang was born.

The scene in the mirror changes rapidly.

This baby has grown from a toddler to a toddler, from a young child to a young girl, and then to a graceful and elegant lady...

Gu Qingyu saw her kill her first time in the dark cave; saw her being invincible in the beast tide; saw her suppressing powerful enemies with her invincible force and making them surrender; saw her killing the real demon with the help of national fortune; saw her climbing to the top of the trial tower with unstoppable force...

Everything about Xiao Minghuang's life was displayed before her.

"She has so many secrets..."

Although I can see Xiao Minghuang's past, I have no idea where she got so many opportunities.

"A great sage must be born with a different life! Perhaps, Xiao Minghuang is destined to be born..."

Gu Qingyu murmured.

She actually didn't really mind any miraculous opportunity Xiao Minghuang had.

After all, the opportunities that Xiao Minghuang had were not opportunities at all for her, a saint.

Moreover, without these opportunities, Xiao Minghuang would not be able to stand in front of her.

263. Peak of the Yuantai

"That's enough..."

She slowly closed her eyes and lightly tapped her slender fingers. The scene in the mirror quickly twisted and changed, and finally stopped changing.

Xiao Minghuang's figure gradually faded as the scene in the mirror changed, and finally disappeared completely.

...

After Xiao Minghuang left Baiwen Pavilion, he returned to Ye Ruoshui's cave.

Because she had the token of Baiwen Pavilion, it didn't take her too much time to go back and forth.

Ye Ruoshui was sorting out medicinal materials. She had to complete the commission from Li Han and his sister before she could prepare to refine the heavenly grade elixir.

As if she had noticed Xiao Minghuang's arrival, she turned and walked out of the cave.

"Why is your highness back?"

Xiao Minghuang smiled and said, "I just went to Baiwen Pavilion and got some pills. Can you analyze the recipe?"

As she spoke, she handed the porcelain bottle in her arms to Ye Ruoshui.

Ye Ruoshui's eyes suddenly lit up. She reached out to take the porcelain bottle, pulled out the stopper, put it close to her nose and sniffed it. Her face instantly became filled with ecstasy.

"This this..."

She looked up in surprise and stared at Xiao Minghuang.
