Gu Sheng expends a vast fortune in spirit stones to stabilize his Spiritual Embryo, which then begins to birth a new life form. Meanwhile, his latest attempt to refine a pill fails, but he is visited by Tantai Xueling, who is struggling with her own alchemy. Gu Sheng helps her improve her elixir recipe, and she leaves for the Pill Workshop. Gu Sheng then heads to the Heaven City Transmission Array, but finds security heightened due to trouble at the Wanliu Sect. He is eventually granted passage by Shen Qingtan.

"Shen Qingtan, you’ve brought outsiders into the Holy Academy, which has already violated the martial law regulations."

One of the young men with a sinister appearance sneered.

"We have the authority to seize you and turn you over to the Law Enforcement Hall for trial."

Another person glanced at Gu Sheng with contempt.

"Kid, if you know what’s good for you, hurry up and get out of here. This is not a place for ants like you."

Gu Sheng frowned slightly and turned to Shen Qingtan.

"Can we kill them?"

This remark left all three present in shock.

Shen Qingtan’s eyes showed surprise, then she shook her head.

"If they were Outer Court disciples, killing them doesn’t matter. But they are Inner Courtyard disciples, backed by their sects, which would be big trouble if killed."

"Hahaha!"

The two Inner Courtyard disciples burst into laughter, as if they’d heard the biggest joke.

"Kill us? Just because of a waste like you?"

The sinister young man’s face darkened.

"Break his bones and throw him out of the Holy Academy!"

"Yes, senior brother!"

The other disciple responded and moved like a ghost, flashing in front of Gu Sheng, his right leg like a whip, carrying a sharp sound aiming straight for Gu Sheng’s head.

"Watch out!"

Shen Qingtan exclaimed.

Gu Sheng stood still, his eyes cold.

Just as the leg’s wind was about to touch his hair, Gu Sheng suddenly moved.

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, the Inner Courtyard disciple couldn’t even see how Gu Sheng struck, and his whole body was thrown back like a broken string kite, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and crashed heavily onto the bluestone ground dozens of yards away.

"You!"

The sinister young man’s face changed dramatically, looking at Gu Sheng in disbelief.

Shen Qingtan also showed concern in her eyes.

"Gu Sheng..."

"Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing."

Gu Sheng said lightly.

"They won’t die."

He turned to the remaining Inner Courtyard disciple, his gaze icy.

"Will you leave on your own, or shall I send you off?"

The sinister young man’s expression fluctuated, and ultimately he gritted his teeth.

"Fine, very good! Just you wait!"

After speaking, he turned and helped his companion away in embarrassment.

Gu Sheng didn’t even spare them a glance and spoke to Shen Qingtan.

"Ignore them, bring me to Bai Yu."

Shen Qingtan came back to her senses and nodded.

"Follow me."

The two walked through the complex buildings of the Holy Academy, and on the way, Shen Qingtan couldn’t help but ask.

"Your punch just now... Has your strength improved again?"

Gu Sheng neither confirmed nor denied.

"For such riffraff, there’s no need to use full strength."

Shen Qingtan’s eyes showed a complex expression, wanting to say something.

"What?"

Gu Sheng glanced at her.

"Nothing."

Shen Qingtan shook her head.

"It’s just that... those two are Inner Courtyard disciples, and their sects behind them..."

"No problem."

Gu Sheng interrupted her.

"I know what I’m doing."

Shen Qingtan said no more, leading Gu Sheng to a refined courtyard.

"This is my residence."

Shen Qingtan explained.

"You wait here for a while, I’ll have someone contact Senior Sister Bai Yu."

Gu Sheng nodded and sat down on a stone stool in the yard.

Shen Qingtan summoned a maid and quietly instructed her, the maid quickly left.

After a short while, the maid returned, respectfully saying.

"Senior Sister Shen, Senior Sister Bai Yu said to let Young Master Gu go directly, and also said that in the future, Young Master Gu can come without announcing, just be invited in."

Shen Qingtan looked at Gu Sheng with surprise.

"It seems Senior Sister Bai Yu values you highly."

Gu Sheng stood up.

"Lead the way."

The two walked through several corridors and arrived at a quiet courtyard named "Luomei Small Residence."

The courtyard gate was ajar, and the blooming plum flowers inside could be faintly seen, emitting a pleasant fragrance.

"You go in by yourself."

Shen Qingtan stopped.

"I have matters to attend to."

Gu Sheng glanced at her.

"If those two Inner Courtyard disciples come looking for trouble, just report my name."

Shen Qingtan’s mouth slightly curved.

"What, worried about me?"

Gu Sheng didn’t respond and turned to push the door and enter.

Inside the courtyard, Bai Yu was sitting at a stone table under an old plum tree, with tea sets placed before her.

Seeing Gu Sheng come in, she raised her head and smiled slightly.

"I knew you’d return."

Gu Sheng directly walked over and sat opposite her.

"You knew I would come?"

Bai Yu poured him a cup of tea.

"Great Wilderness City has been turbulent lately, with your temperament, you wouldn’t stay long."

Gu Sheng picked up the teacup and drank it completely.

"I changed my mind."

Bai Yu’s eyes showed joy.

"You’re willing to accept my commission?"

"Mmm."

Gu Sheng put down the teacup.

"Just right, there have been too many matters recently. Going out for some relaxation is also good."

Bai Yu’s expression became solemn.

"This mission is not simple."

She took out a jade scroll from her sleeve and pushed it in front of Gu Sheng.

"All the clues are recorded here."

Gu Sheng picked up the jade scroll, scanned it with his Divine Sense, and furrowed his brow slightly.

"Sect Realm? King Realm?"

"At least."

Bai Yu nodded.

"The opponent’s background is not small, you need to be extra cautious."

Gu Sheng put away the jade scroll and suddenly reached out.

"Glazed Heart."

Bai Yu paused for a moment, then laughed.

"You’re indeed not polite."

She took out an exquisite sachet from the Storage Ring.

"The Glazed Heart is inside, but..."

She became serious.

"Before starting to refine, do not open the sachet lightly. There’s a special array inside the sachet to preserve the drug’s potency."

Gu Sheng walked slowly out of Bai Yu’s Luomei Small Residence, the stabbing pain in his legs causing him to frown slightly.

Though the flesh had already recovered by twenty percent, the price of Beichen Flower’s sacrificial offering was far more severe than he’d imagined.

Every step felt like stepping on a knife’s edge, the pain of flesh tearing constantly reminding him... This depletion couldn’t be restored by any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, only relying on his own Life Force for slow rebirth.

"Glazed Heart..."

Gu Sheng looked down at the crystal in his palm emitting a colorful glow, determination in his eyes.

"Together with the Golden Body Pill, it should be sufficient for me to break through to the Golden Body Realm."
