Fairy, please don't do this!

Although her clothing was conservative, it couldn't hide the unique, voluptuous curves of a mature woman.

The full curve of the hem of the garment is as majestic as a snow-capped mountain, surpassing even the elegance of Tantai Xuanji.

These two sisters, one like a quiet orchid in the still night, gentle and graceful, the other like a green bamboo in a secluded valley, dignified and scholarly.

Sitting together, they resembled two rare and beautiful flowers blooming side by side, their fragrance wafting through the courtyard.

With a smile in her eyes, Tantai Xuanji said softly, "It's nothing important, I just came to check on my disciple's injuries!"

Gu Jinzhao finished drinking the medicine in his hand before replying, "Thank you for your concern, Master. My injuries are no longer a big problem."

Tantai Xuanji examined him carefully for a moment, then frowned and said, "Although your soul injury has healed, your physical injury has not."

Gu Jinchao said nonchalantly, "It will be fine after a little more recuperation!"

He knows the extent of his injuries.

Although it was quite serious, with Aunt Ruo's superb medical skills, recovery was only a matter of time.

Tantai Xuanji chuckled and said, "In a moment, I will use a secret method to help you nourish your muscles, bones, and blood, which will save you some time."

Gu Jinzhao did not refuse: "Then thank you very much, Master!"

"It's nothing!"

Tantai Xuanji waved her hand, then seemed to remember something, her expression becoming slightly serious: "Your Majesty has already told me about the [Heavenly Stem Mirror]."

Gu Jinzhao's mind stirred slightly: "Then what does Master mean?"

He had previously confronted Xiao Qingyi, revealing that he wanted the [Heavenly Stem Mirror] in her possession, and then used it to reforge the [Heavenly Fate Plate], thereby suppressing Xuan Yi and erasing Aunt Ruo's inner demons.

Xiao Qingyi did not give a direct answer beforehand, but instead said that she would hand over the Heavenly Stem Mirror to Tantai Xuanji as long as he agreed.

Gu Jinchao, however, harbored doubts about this.

Xiao Qingyi trusted Tantai Xuanji too much; otherwise, why would she have sought her opinion?

Indeed, Tantai Xuanji was a disciple of Emperor Xuan Ye, but she was not the sect leader of the Heavenly Sect.

In addition, she hadn't been in Yujing for very long and hadn't had any contact with anyone from the Heavenly Sect before, so she shouldn't have let Xiao Qingyi trust her so much.

Gu Jinzhao actually wanted to tell Xiao Qingyi that Tantai Xuanji might be a suspect of the Heavenly Mother.

However, considering that there was no actual evidence, he kept it to himself.

It seems we need to find an opportunity as soon as possible to ascertain the truth about this woman, lest something unexpected happen.

Tantai Xuanji was unaware of Gu Jinzhao's thoughts. She simply picked up a piece of stir-fried vegetables with her chopsticks, chewed it carefully for a moment, and then said, "I naturally have no objection to helping Senior Sister suppress her inner demons. But, disciple, do you know how to reforge the [Heavenly Destiny Plate]?"

Gu Jinzhao replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, we'll seek the help of a master weapon refiner!"

Tantai Xuanji shook her head: "If it were an ordinary immortal artifact, a master craftsman could indeed do it, but the [Heavenly Fate Plate] cannot."

Gu Jinchao asked instinctively, "Why?"

Tantai Xuanji put down her chopsticks and said softly, “The [Heavenly Fate Plate] is the natal magic weapon of the ancestor of the Heavenly Fate Path, the Holy Fate.”

"Although the Heavenly Stems Mirror and the Earthly Branches Mirror were divided due to the difference in the philosophies of the two sects, they both contain a trace of the Dao of Destiny."

"Those who do not understand the Way of Destiny cannot reforge the [Destiny Plate], no matter how profound their art of weapon crafting is."

"If one forces it, one will inevitably suffer a backlash from the Dao, resulting in death and the dissipation of one's Dao."

Gu Jinchao frowned: "Then how should we recast it?"

He had not reforged the [Destiny Plate]; he only decided to use it to destroy Xuan Yi after entering the game.

how so?

It's because in the game, when he helped Aunt Ruo eliminate her inner demons, he used a special item that targets the soul.

This special item can only be obtained by completing specific tasks.

But now that the system is gone, there are no missions, so it's impossible to obtain this special item. That's why the [Destiny Plate] was chosen.

However, to reforge this semi-divine artifact, one would need to be proficient in the Dao of Destiny.

Tantai Xuanji picked up the fragrant soup and took an elegant sip: "To reforge the [Destiny Plate], we need to use the [Yin-Yang Chaos Fire] to melt the two mirrors, and then use the [Zhou Tian Star Array] to draw upon the power of the stars and moon to temper its shape."

"Finally, one can use the art of cause and effect to condense the artifact into a disc..."

Gu Jinzhao's head was buzzing: "That's so troublesome?"

He had just begun exploring the Dao of Destiny, and combined with his previous understanding of the game, he had a certain knowledge of causal fate techniques.

But he had never heard of the Yin-Yang Chaos Fire or the Zhou Tian Star Array that the other party mentioned.

At this moment, Si Ruoyu, who had been listening quietly, couldn't help but part her red lips slightly: "The Yin-Yang Chaos Fire is formed by the condensation of the Xuanming Ice Flame and the Crimson Earth Fire."

"These two types of flames only arise in the far north and far south, and are extremely rare."

"As for the array diagram of the [Zhou Tian Xing Chen Grand Array], the Heavenly Sect does have it, but the materials used in it are equally precious and rare."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "More importantly, during the final reforging, it is necessary to reconnect the two strands of the Dao of Destiny that were split in two."

"Among those who have reached this level of mastery in the Dao of Destiny, I'm afraid only Uncle-Master Xuan Ye can achieve it."

"It's just a pity about him..."

Si Ruoyu sighed and didn't say anything more.

Gu Jinchao frowned deeply: "So, does that mean it's impossible to reforge the [Destiny Plate]?"

Tantai Xuanji put down the porcelain bowl in her hand: "It's not that it can't be recast, it just takes some time."

"I have already collected the Yin-Yang Chaos Fire, but the Zhou Tian Star Array is still missing some main materials."

"As for the final step, if Master can do it, so can I..."

Gu Jinzhao looked at her, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Master has long had the idea of ​​rebuilding the Destiny Plate?"

If it weren't for the purpose of reforging the [Destiny Plate], the other party wouldn't have made these preparations in advance.

Tantai Xuanji parted her red lips slightly: "The [Heavenly Fate Plate] is not only a powerful immortal artifact, but also a symbol of the Heavenly Fate lineage. As a disciple of the Heavenly Fate lineage myself, I naturally cannot sit idly by."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinzhao fell into deep thought.

He always felt that Tantai Xuanji had ulterior motives for recasting the Destiny Plate.

After all, the other party's identity was too suspicious.

If it truly is the Heavenly Mother, then she must be trying to use the [Heavenly Mandate Plate] to complete her plan of [returning all things to the Mother].

He is the core of this plan, or rather, the indispensable foundation.

That is why the Heavenly Mother sent Luo Yirao to enslave him with the "Heavenly Mother's Sacred Heart Technique," and even resorted to seduction to make him completely submit.

Gu Jinchao even suspected that the Heavenly Mother had used the power of cause and effect to discover that Luo Yirao had not yet completed her plan to control him.

So he wanted to use the Destiny Chart to control Aunt Ruo, whom he cared about most.

Of course, it's also possible that this isn't the case.

Gu Jinzhao's eyes reflected the elegant and beautiful face of the woman before him, and he thought to himself, 'It seems I need to change my strategy. I'll use the [Carefree Immortal Fruit] to begin my conquest of her.'

Only in this way can we ensure that nothing goes wrong!

[The Destiny Chart] concerns Aunt Ruo's life and death, so there can be no mistakes.

The only variable is Tantai Xuanji, who is standing right in front of us.

Gu Jinzhao's previous plan was to first ascertain her identity before deciding whether to use the [Carefree Immortal Fruit].

But there isn't much time for him right now, so we have to strike first.

Just as An Wanxi said, since Tantai Xuanji is consumed by mad desire, she will be entangled with him regardless of whether she is the Heavenly Mother or not...

Chapter 461, Tantai Xuanji: "Take your teacher to your room!" (3K)

After finishing dinner, Si Ruoyu cleared away the dishes and took them back to the kitchen.

Tantai Xuanji looked at the handsome man beside her and offered, "Take your teacher to your room!"

Gu Jinzhao was taken aback: "What would you do in my room?"

Tantai Xuanji rested her chin on her delicate hand, her legs elegantly crossed beneath her skirt, and said meaningfully, "Naturally, it's to heal your wounds!"

Gu Jinzhao coughed lightly: "I see, I thought..."

Tantai Xuanji looked at him with a half-smile: "What did you think?"

"Does your teacher intend to do something improper to you?"

'If you are truly the Heavenly Mother, I'm genuinely afraid you have ulterior motives towards me!'

Gu Jinzhao inwardly scoffed, but outwardly maintained a serious expression, saying, "How could that be!"

A mischievous glint flashed in Tantai Xuanji's beautiful eyes, and the corners of her luscious lips curled up slightly: "Then why are you so startled?"

"Could it be that there's something shady hidden in the room?"

"Of course not!"

"However, my injuries haven't healed yet, and the room is filled with a strong, unpleasant medicinal smell."

"I'll go tidy up first, and then invite Master into the room later."

Gu Jinzhao gave an explanation and then got up and went into the room.

Now that he has decided to win over Tantai Xuanji, he naturally needs more opportunities to spend time alone with her.

Tantai Xuanji offered to heal his injuries, which was undoubtedly a case of being sleepy and then having a pillow delivered to him!

So why not do it?

As his thoughts wandered, Gu Jinzhao had already passed through the long corridor and reached the end of the west wing.

The door was pushed open, and a strong medicinal aroma wafted out.

Gu Jinzhao closed the door, walked quickly to the bedside, and took out a fruit the size of an infant's fist from the [Earthly Branch Mirror]. The fruit was crimson red like blood, and its surface shimmered with a dreamlike radiance.

It was none other than the [Carefree Immortal Fruit] that Luo Yirao had given her before.

Gu Jinzhao pointed his fingers like a sword and carefully cut off a piece of fruit the size of a fingernail. Then he called out in his mind, "Wife, help me remove the bewitching power from this thing!"

"Ok!"

A soft, alluring voice rang out, and a purple light enveloped the crimson fruit in her hand.

The faint sheen gradually faded, and the alluring aroma vanished without a trace, eventually turning into a seemingly ordinary pale pink piece of pulp, no different from any other wild mountain berry.

An Wanxi reminded her, "Tantai Xuanji is a first-grade, and simply erasing the traces with [False Fate] is not enough to be safe."

"My dear husband still needs to use the [Earthly Branch Mirror] to eliminate the karmic debt..."

She had naturally overheard the conversation in the courtyard.

Her husband had just taken out the [Carefree Immortal Fruit], naturally intending to begin his plan to win over Tantai Xuanji.

"We definitely need to be more cautious."

Without hesitation, Gu Jinzhao raised his hand and formed a hand seal, casting the Karma and Fate Technique into the ancient glass mirror in his palm.

In an instant, strands of Earthly Branch runes emerged, disappeared into the crimson fruit flesh, and vanished without a trace.

After doing all this, Gu Jinzhao put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

The flesh is sweet and juicy, with a slightly cool sensation as it slides down your throat.

"It's quite sweet!"

The effects of this carefree immortal fruit are gradual and subtle; excessive consumption is easily noticeable.

This small amount should be just enough to subtly and silently charm Tantai Xuanji's heart when she's alone healing, without being noticed.

After putting away the Earthly Branches Mirror and the remaining immortal fruits, Gu Jinchao went to the bronze furnace in the corner of the wall, took out a light blue, fragrant pill, and put it into the furnace.

The fragrant pills melt upon contact with heat, releasing a delicate, bamboo-leaf-like fragrance that quickly dissipates the medicinal smell in the room.

Once the fragrance had evenly diffused, the atmosphere in the room had become refreshing and calming, with no trace of the foul smell of a sickbed.

Gu Jinzhao straightened his clothes and pushed open the door to go out.

In the courtyard, Tantai Xuanji stood with her hands behind her back under the plum tree, looking up at the remaining snow on the branches. Her moon-white dress fluttered slightly in the night breeze, making her look like a fairy descending to earth.

Gu Jinzhao stepped forward and said, "Master, the room has been tidied up!"
