Evil Emperor's Wild Consort

A month later...

Within the room, the curtains billowed as a warm spring breeze caressed Gu Ruoyun’s delicate cheeks.

Her eyes were closed as if she was in a state of sleep. Because of the wind, Gu Ruoyun’s black tresses were swaying against the sides of her face; she looked serene yet mesmerising.

At this moment, within the Ancient Divine Pagoda, wearing a gilded violet robe that swayed without wind, a man stood with his hands held behind his back. His matching violet eyes had traces of a smile, but his lips held an evil curve as he watched the young girl in front of him.

“This place, this place is the second level of the Ancient Divine Pagoda. You can get your reward for reaching martial warrior here.”

The second level of the Ancient Divine Pagoda... Even though Gu Ruoyun still didn’t know what the reward would be, it surely wouldn’t be worse than the pill formulas from the first level...

“This is... the pill formula for the Spirit Gathering Pill?”

The Spirit Gathering Pill was considered the next rank from the Qi Gathering Pill. For example, someone like Elder Yu who was stuck at the final stage of martial general wouldn’t be able to break through using the Qi Gathering Pill. This was why she had not let Elder Yu use the Qi Gathering Pill to begin with.

However, if she had Spirit Gathering Pills, it would be a different story. This pill was effective for martial general ranked cultivators! It could let them successfully break through!

Just thinking about it, Gu Ruoyun’s heart clenched.

Although she now had Hundred Herb Hall and Devil Sect in her hands, she still didn’t have a true expert in her ranks. If Elder Yu became a martial king, then they could do as they liked within Azure Dragon Country.

“I see that the reward for this second level is three pill formulas again. Spirit Gathering Pill, Blood Replenishing Pill and Spirit Recovery Pill.”

According to general knowledge, cultivators used spiritual power to battle. If their spiritual power ran out, the cultivator was in potentially fatal danger. Thus, Spirit Recovery Pills were used to recover a cultivator’s spiritual power. As for Blood Replenishing Pills, as the name suggested, it was meant to treat wounds.

Gu Ruoyun carefully kept the pill formulas, then smiled as she said: “I was still worrying over how I could let Elder Yu have a breakthrough. I didn’t think that I would get the Spirit Gathering Pill just like that. Hmm?”

Suddenly, Gu Ruoyun could feel a disturbance coming from the drained spiritual weapon she had picked up. Following that, with a whoosh, it flew out and floated upright in front of her...

“Zixie, what’s going on? This drained spiritual weapon has already lost all of its spiritual power, why would it...”

Zixie didn’t speak, but only fixed his eyes on that drained spiritual weapon with a profound gaze. He kept silent for half a beat, before slowly speaking up: “Girl, try transferring some of your own spiritual power into this drained spiritual weapon.”

“Okay.”

Gu Ruoyun nodded slightly; her jade fingers settled on the surface of the drained spiritual weapon, and then she let her eyes slide closed.

A portion of her spiritual power flowed forth from her palm, entering into the drained spiritual weapon at a snail’s pace before it was then just as slowly accepted by the weapon. At this moment, a fierce light shone from the spiritual weapon, encasing the entire Ancient Divine Pagoda...

“What... what’s happening?”

At this moment, Gu Ruoyun was in a daze. She had no idea what was happening.

“I see that my guess was right,” Zixie smiled, “Girl, the second level of the Ancient Divine Pagoda has given you another power: nurturing weapons!”

“Nurturing weapons? What do you mean?” Gu Ruoyun blinked as she looked in bewilderment at that man’s devilishly charming smile.

Zixie smiled gently: “Simply speaking, you can transfer spiritual power into weapons and change them into spiritual weapons. Of course, the one in your hands is one of the lowest ranked spiritual weapons. If you want to make it into a middle or high ranked spiritual weapon, your current strength isn’t enough. As for the legendary godly weapons, you must have the materials to forge godly weapons first. However, having a real spiritual weapon right from the start will be good for your future growth.”
