The woman called Jiang Yun nodded and turned to look at Xia Jingnian: "Xiao Xia, since you have joined the Taixu Palace, you should act according to the rules of the sect. Why do you still use the same tricks you used when you competed with the Xia family?"
Everyone's expression changed slightly, but no one dared to refute. Jiang Yun's status in their small circle was only matched by a few people.
Hearing this, Xia Jingnian remained calm and smiled gently.
"Sister Yun has misunderstood. There is no rift between An Daoyou and me. It's just that someone else misunderstood what he said."
Jiang Yun looked at him deeply and said, "I hope so."
Soon, Xia Jingnian also left early on the grounds that he would "work hard to practice and break through the golden elixir as soon as possible", and before leaving, he received a lot of envy and flattery.
Jiang Yun then asked the people around her, "I heard that An Le was very beautiful. Has anyone seen her?"
When others thought of Jiang Yun's past "achievements", their expressions were strange: "In terms of appearance alone, he is indeed... very extraordinary."
Jiang Yun nodded, with interest showing in her eyes.

The next day.
Qin Le came to the foot of Gujia Mountain.
However, his appearance at this moment was completely different from the high-spirited and capable man he was yesterday.
His face was pale, he looked haggard, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he had suffered a great blow.
Qin Le clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and felt extremely aggrieved: "How could I have fallen to this point?"
Not only did Zuo Yu's revenge come, but it came quickly and fiercely!
Ever since the tragic news of the incident at Miaoshanfang came, Qin Le has not received any good news. Either the businesses under his name have run into inexplicable problems, or competitors within the family have suddenly attacked and tried to snatch his original resources. Also, some of the evil things he had done were exposed for some reason.
Even the elders in the clan who were originally close to him suddenly changed their attitudes, as if they had given up on him.
In just one day, Qin Le felt as if he was deserted by everyone and regarded as an enemy by the whole world.
And the cause of all this was just a small test of Anle?
"Really... that's too cruel."
"If I had known earlier, I would have..."
Qin Le's heart was full of regret. He paid the price for his youth.
The purpose of his visit was to apologize to Anle and ask him to show mercy and let him go.
******
It didn't take long.
Looking at Qin Le who presented the treasures to him and bowed deeply, An Le said coldly.
"I don't know what you are talking about, please go back."
After Qin Le pleaded again and again, he saw that An Le's eyes were still colder than ice, so he could only leave in grief.
After he left, An Le was curious and thought: "What did my senior brothers and sisters do to scare him like this?"
In fact, Anle really didn’t know what Qin Le had experienced.
Zuo Yu told him to focus on his practice and not to get involved in these trivial matters.
The Qin family is certainly not so easy to mess with, but the same cannot be said for a mere young master of the Qin family. Under some simple planning and pressure from Zuo Yu, Qin Le had almost no ability to fight back and was completely tricked.
Soon, Anle put Qin Le's matter behind him and felt sad.
"It's really reassuring to have a reliable master."
It is conceivable that after this incident, there will undoubtedly be fewer people who dare to cause trouble for him.
"But...calculating the time, that thing is about to happen."
During the deduction a few days ago, Anle learned an extremely important piece of information - Taixu Palace is about to usher in its second collective expedition!
Ever since the war broke out between Taixu Palace and Datai Divine Dynasty, real-time intelligence has been transmitted back every day.
The number of casualties and the frequency of battles are increasing.
This means that this war is not just a simple friction and collision that will soon end as many people expected.
Instead, the scale is expanding, involving many areas of Taixu Palace in the war, and there is a tendency for the fighting to intensify.
In order to boost morale and replenish manpower, Taixu Palace recruited a group of monks to go on a collective expedition.
Since Anle is still at the foundation-building stage, it is certainly not his turn to fight.
But his senior brothers and sisters had to respond to the call and go to the battlefield.
The eldest brother needed to stay with the master due to hysteria, so he left.
Zuo Yu's Taoism was very useful on the battlefield and was also taken away.
In the end, the only ones left in the Gu Family Mountains were Anle and his senior sister Ye Ling'er.
Ye Ling'er doesn't have as wide a circle of friends and deep scheming as Zuo Yu, so she can't handle some situations so easily.
It is very likely that Zuo Yu heard the news in advance and took harsh measures against Qin Le, intending to make an example of him and avoid unnecessary trouble.
"But there are always some crises that cannot be avoided."
Anle narrowed his eyes, feeling a little heavy: "We still have to get stronger as soon as possible!"
"A little more strength means a little more confidence."
He returned to the room and opened the jade bottle given by Su Dai. A rich medicinal fragrance filled his face.
This is a precious elixir called "Immortal Skin and Jade Bone Pill". It sounds like it is exclusively for beauty-loving monks, but in fact it is not. Its essence is to use the medicinal power of several precious medicines to transform the muscles and bones of monks. It is a great tonic for body refining.
Anle swallowed the pill without any hesitation.
The exaggerated absorption ability brought by [Gluttonous Stomach] melted into surging medicinal power as soon as the Immortal Skin and Jade Bone Pill entered the stomach.
As the qi and blood flowed, it spread throughout Anle's body.
A tingling, sore and swollen feeling quickly emerged from beneath the skin, flesh, tendons and bones, as if thousands of ants were crawling and wriggling.
Visible to the naked eye, Anle's skin became whiter and more crystal clear, as if it was covered with a layer of jade plaster. Inside the body, the muscle fibers became stronger and the deformed bones became denser. They looked like white jade, but were actually many times harder.
Given Anle's current physical condition, this elixir can still bring about such a transformation, which is enough to show its extraordinaryness.
The precious pills that Su Dai gave as a gift are far more than just this one. Some are for qi and blood, and some are for spiritual power. Each one can bring considerable benefits, and they can be auctioned at extremely high prices in the outside world.
'When I think about it this way, why does it seem like I'm being kept?'
Anle couldn't help but complain: "It was right to have a good relationship with her in the first place."
Now, he has a little understanding of the joy of living off his wife.
Anle took the pills one after another, absorbing the medicinal power. The spiritual power and blood in his body increased rapidly and steadily in the process.
This feeling of becoming stronger every moment is addictive, and Anle's mind gradually becomes addicted to it.
******
In the Jade Cave.
The spiritual energy attracted by the Qinghong Jade seemed to gather into a thick cloud. With the breathing of the figure at the core, it inhaled and exhaled back and forth, swirling into a nebula-like existence.
The vigorous and fiery energy and blood appear and disappear from time to time, as if the stars are releasing their light and heat, accompanied by a thrilling sound of waves.
An extremely handsome young man sat in the middle, his eyes closed, his expression focused and intoxicated.
The scene itself is like a beautiful painting.
This was the scene that Gu Shanshan saw when he descended in his spiritual state.
She didn't make a sound, but stared at An Le in the spiritual mist, and sighed in her heart: "This is quite a big commotion!"
Gu Shanshan had a faint expectation: "With his extraordinary talent and hard work, how far can my disciple go in the future?"
"As a master, I can only protect him for a while and point out the direction for him to move forward until he grows up."
Gu Shanshan came to see Anle today, not because there was anything special, but because she felt that Anle was not doing her job as a master and wanted to give her some advice.
I didn't expect to see such a scene.
She watched for a while and analyzed in her heart: "An Le is only at the eighth level of foundation building, and with his double dantian and special skills, the spiritual power required to break through is undoubtedly far more than that of ordinary people. The process will be several times more difficult. Not to mention, he is also practicing both spiritual power and blood, which further divides his energy. It will take at least a year to reach the golden elixir stage..."
"what?"
At this time, Gu Shanshan raised her eyebrows, slightly surprised: "Is he...about to break through?"
The spiritual energy in the cave suddenly became agitated and became more vibrant, as if it was being pulled together by a huge force.
The spiritual energy at the core quickly changed from mist to viscous spiritual liquid, falling on Anle's body like raindrops, and was absorbed in an instant.
With this kind of exaggerated absorption speed, an ordinary person's meridians would have been burst long ago, and their dantian would have shattered under the violent impact.
But for Anle, it was like being showered by a gentle breeze and drizzle, making his whole body feel refreshed and comfortable, which was a unique experience.
This was also thanks to the baptism he received in the ancient Xu Jade Cauldron, which improved his aptitude for cultivation from the root.
Gu Shanshan saw that the spiritual power in Anle's body began to surge and tumble, continuously accumulating momentum, preparing to reach a higher peak.
There is no doubt that this is a precursor to a breakthrough.
Gu Shanshan didn't have time to be surprised for long, and soon frowned: "Oh no, there is not enough spiritual power here."
Although the Qinghong Jade Palace can continuously absorb spiritual energy from the outside world, it is a long-term spiritual gathering process and cannot withstand Anle's brutal and rude demands.
Plus, it's been like this for the past few days.
The spiritual energy within the Jade Palace was finally about to be drained out.
Fortunately, Gu Shanshan was right here. She casually made a hand gesture and the spiritual energy of the entire mountain outside the cave quickly poured into the cave.
The animals in the forest were so frightened that they trembled in fear and dared not move, thinking that a catastrophe was about to strike at any time.
Even if it is just a split spirit, a cultivator at the transformation stage can easily accomplish this little thing.
With the nourishment of this new spiritual power, Anle's body was like a long-dry land receiving a downpour of rain, and his aura began to rise again.
Gu Shanshan was amazed and said, "This greed for spiritual power is comparable to Ling'er's."
Greed is not a derogatory word here.
Immortal cultivators absorb a large amount of resources and gather their own existence. This huge capacity is itself a kind of talent.
boom!
Finally, accompanied by an invisible roar, the wave of spiritual power reached the peak.
Anle's body shook and his breath became deeper.
Nine levels of foundation building!
He opened his eyes, and a divine light flashed in them.
Anle looked at Gu Shanshan and bowed to express his gratitude.
"Thank you, Master, for helping me practice."
Damn, it turns out that "江" and "姐" together are blocked words
Chapter 168: One drop of blood, can you be reborn?
Seeing that Anle was full of energy and his spiritual power reserves and thickness had reached a new level, Gu Shanshan knew that he had successfully broken through. Amazement flashed in his eyes and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"It actually happened?"
Gu Shanshan naturally would not forget that when Anle became her disciple, he had just broken through to the eighth level of foundation building and his aura was still a little weak and unstable.
But in just a few days, he successfully completed the breakthrough from the eighth level to the ninth level.
You should know that no matter whether it is Qi Refining and Foundation Building or Nascent Soul, the progress is the slowest in the later stages. The total amount of spiritual power required increases as time goes by. Often, breaking through one level will take up the time needed to break through several levels in the early stages.
An ordinary cultivator would be stuck at one of the levels, often for several years, or would be unable to make any progress in his entire life.
Even for the geniuses that Gu Shanshan had seen before, the time it took to break through the realm was counted in months, but An Le in front of her once again refreshed her cognition.
'This speed is ridiculous.'
Gu Shanshan looked up and down at this youngest disciple, and the waves in his heart could not be calmed for a while.
Anle looked at her with a puzzled look on his face: "Master?"
