Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1804 - 915: Secret Realm Death Battle! Desperate Breakthrough

"I... I suddenly feel a bit unwell, so I’ll... I’ll go back to rest first!"

She threw out this excuse in a panic, not daring to look at Gu Sheng again, and almost fled, her figure quickly disappearing around the stairway corner.

Gu Sheng watched her fleeing figure, slightly raising an eyebrow, feeling somewhat puzzled.

He merely wanted her to come and fetch the Jade Scroll of "Divine Casting Hundred Refinements Chapter," and by the way, ask about her father’s situation. Why did she react so strongly?

After a few more simple exchanges, everyone dispersed. Gu Sheng returned to the Quiet Room arranged for him by the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall. Gu Yuanyuan and Qidiao Yaoyao had been arranged to rest in the next room.

In the Quiet Room, Gu Sheng sat cross-legged but did not immediately start cultivating.

He recalled Su Youwei’s aura in the hall earlier, feeling a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had encountered a similar aura somewhere before, but couldn’t recall it for the moment. Her background seemed clear, yet the timing of her arrival here was somewhat coincidental.

"Let’s have Yaoyao keep an eye on her for now, see what she does next."

Gu Sheng made up his mind and stopped dwelling on it.

Flipping his palm, a warm, blank Jade Talisman appeared in his hand.

Then, as he willed it, the vast spiritual power surged from his Sea of Consciousness, highly concentrating at his fingertips, transforming into an intangible, razor-sharp spiritual power pen-knife.

Gu Sheng closed his eyes and began to carefully inscribe the contents of the "Divine Casting Hundred Refinements Chapter" onto the Jade Talisman with the spiritual power pen-knife.

Countless dense runes and information, containing the principles of Artifact Refining and the Space Profound Mysteries, were precisely and fluidly inscribed into the internal space of the Jade Talisman as his fingers moved.

As he inscribed, he couldn’t help but reminisce about Tantai Mingjing’s passion and achievements in this art, feeling a bit emotional.

Unexpectedly, back at the Beichen Imperial Palace, that timid young girl mainly responsible for forging swords and crafting Medicine Tripods has now become a senior in the eyes of others, having advanced so far in the path of artifact refining, inheriting part of the mantle of the Divine Forger.

"Given her current knowledge and insight, if she can properly absorb the essence of the ’Divine Casting Hundred Refinements Chapter’, surpassing the ’Human Casting’ realm to reach the ’Earth Casting’ Grandmaster Realm should not be difficult."

Gu Sheng assessed silently.

"As for the higher ’Heavenly Casting’ or even the legendary ’Divine Casting’... that would depend on her own fortune and subsequent efforts."

Amidst the inscription, Gu Sheng even humorously considered whether to carve the rather endearing real name secretly used by the Divine Forger back then in an inconspicuous corner of the Jade Talisman, wondering what Tantai Mingjing’s reaction would be upon seeing that her spiritual master had such a name.

As he inscribed while his thoughts wandered.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The Quiet Room door was gently knocked.

Gu Sheng pulled back his thoughts, dispersing the spiritual power pen-knife from his fingertips, simultaneously willing it, sent a gentle surge of True Qi to open the door remotely.

As the door opened, there stood Tantai Xuefei, returning once again.

However, Tantai Xuefei looked completely different from the shy and panicked figure from the hall earlier.

She had evidently sorted out her appearance intentionally upon returning, even seeming to have used some Secret Technique to temporarily break through some of the age constraints on her appearance, making her seem no longer like a somewhat naive young girl.

Instead, she exuded the charm and allure of a mature woman, her figure appearing more graceful and captivating, though her exquisitely beautiful face still held an uncontainable blush and tension.

Gu Sheng was momentarily stunned seeing Tantai Xuefei like this at the door.

He looked at Tantai Xuefei standing at the door, involuntarily taken aback.

She seemed to have undergone careful... preparation? A red dress with a high slit tailored perfectly to her figure highlighted her youthful and enchanting physique, exuding both the vitality of a young girl and an extra touch of rare charm.

Her hair, like a waterfall, seemed freshly bathed, damply draping over her shoulders, with a few playful strands clinging to her fair cheeks and delicate collarbone, adding allure.

Without a trace of makeup, her face was bare, yet her skin was so fair and smooth it seemed to gleam, and her alluring red lips tightly pursed exuded a unique, cool and distant fragrance—Gu Sheng recognized this scent as the rare Heavenly Ghost Snow Plum’s distinct cold fragrance.

Her gorgeous face was now covered with an enticing blush, like the sky’s most beautiful sunset reflections, her eyes avoiding, bashful yet coy, half holding spring, a young deer in the heart, nervous and uneasy look.

Tantai Xuefei saw Gu Sheng merely looking at her without speaking, becoming even more embarrassed, lowering her head, timidly murmuring in a voice as fine as a mosquito.

"I... I used a little bit of ’Dream-Entering Immortal Lotus’ powder, my sister... she’s already fast asleep and won’t know... Brother Bingyu and the others are also resting... no one will know I’ve come here..."

The more she spoke, the softer her voice became, her cheeks burning even hotter, yet she persisted, with a hint of guilty stubbornness, adding.

"You... you must not refuse me!"

With these words, it seemed she had used up all her courage, tightly closing her eyes, her long eyelashes gently trembling with nervousness, striking a pose as if waiting for someone to pluck her courageously.

Gu Sheng watched the girl who had obviously misunderstood, self-dramatizing a "midnight offering" scene, feeling uncontrollably twitching at the corners of his eyes a few times.
