Chapter 9 System Lottery, Turmoil in Tai Xuan City!
But the good times didn't last long. Just two hours later, after Gu Jiancheng got 400 strategy points, Yun Shuiyao's eyes twitched slightly, and then she suddenly opened them!
A cold glint pierced Gu Jiancheng's soul; at this moment, Yunshuiyao was like an empress awakening for the first time.
Fortunately, Gu Jiancheng possessed the Heaven-Burning Overlord Body and the Divine Eye of Insight, so his gaze returned to its clear state in the blink of an eye, devoid of any evil thoughts.
"woke up?"
"I saw you were terribly cold, so I hugged you. I'm sorry."
After Gu Jiancheng finished speaking, he released his large hand.
Yun Shuiyao composed herself, and the fierce, cold light in her beautiful eyes vanished instantly.
She broke free from Gu Jiancheng's embrace and sat back down opposite him, but her pretty face was slightly flushed.
She knew the cold air was biting her body, and Gu Jiancheng's embrace was indeed very warm. She had a dream, a very beautiful and comfortable dream.
"What about the assassin?"
Immediately, Yunshuiyao suddenly asked.
A Foundation Establishment Realm assassin shouldn't be so easy to deal with.
"Don't worry, Father has arranged for secret guards around, and all the assassins have been killed," Gu Jiancheng said with a smile.
"Oh." Yun Shuiyao nodded, then pursed her red lips and said lightly, "You don't need to save me next time."
"My wife, are you worried about me?" Gu Jiancheng leaned over, his eyes like a galaxy.
"No." Yun Shuiyao turned away, avoiding direct eye contact with Gu Jiancheng.
"Oh."
Gu Jiancheng shrugged, then raised his hand and handed over a treasure box.
“It’s from Father, but I don’t need it. You can keep it for your own cultivation.”
"Hmm?" Yun Shuiyao frowned slightly. She had thought the treasure box contained some worldly treasures, but it was brimming with spiritual energy, seemingly containing elixirs!
“This is what your father used to bribe officials when he went to the Tai Xuan Sect for you. I don’t want it.”
But she still refused.
"Repair?"
"I don't need to make any arrangements; I rely on myself for everything."
Gu Jiancheng smiled and handed over the treasure box anyway, saying, "You are different from me. You went to the Tai Xuan Sect and you must work hard to cultivate. Don't waste your exceptional talent."
"you……"
"stupid."
Yun Shuiyao looked at Gu Jiancheng. Although she was sparing with her words, her heart was still stirred.
"I'll keep the things and repay you tenfold or a hundredfold in the future."
"At least, within the Tai Xuan Sect, I can guarantee you won't be bullied."
She immediately took the treasure box.
"Okay, you can continue your cultivation."
Upon hearing the system notification that strategy points had been credited to his account, Gu Jiancheng remained unmoved. He then pulled a book from under his seat and began to read it.
"The book is upside down."
Yunshuiyao looked at it for a moment, then suddenly said.
"Oh, then I'll take a nap."
Gu Jiancheng chuckled awkwardly and simply covered his face with the book to hide his embarrassment.
"fool."
Yun Shuiyao couldn't help but smile slightly as she looked at Gu Jiancheng's comical appearance.
Immediately, she opened the treasure box, and her pretty face showed a slight change in expression.
At this moment, there were actually ten Qi-Nourishing Pills inside the treasure box!
The Qi-Nourishing Pill is a Yellow-Rank pill that can be used by cultivators in the Qi Sea Realm. However, all ten Qi-Nourishing Pills are golden yellow, shimmering with light, and of such high quality that they are completely free of any impurities.
This is a top-grade Qi-Nourishing Pill; the Great Qian Emperor is certainly willing to part with it.
Yun Shuiyao's heart stirred slightly, but she still swallowed a Qi-Nourishing Pill and entered a state of cultivation.
Now that she has this Qi-Nourishing Pill, she can break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm before arriving at the Tai Xuan Sect.
But what Yun Shuiyao didn't know was that Gu Jiancheng had already opened the system shop and started purchasing treasures.
Including the 30 strategy points he gained from the emotional fluctuations at Yunshuiyao just now, Gu Jiancheng now has a total of 730 strategy points!
That means they've accumulated some wealth.
However, after browsing through the stores, Gu Jiancheng was greatly disappointed.
It's not that there aren't good martial arts techniques to inherit, such as the Zhenyue Fist (worth 200 points) and the Jinglei Sword Technique (worth 300 points), as well as the top-grade spiritual weapon [Shattering Mountain Sword] (worth 500 points).
However, the inheritances he can buy now are all top-grade spirit-level, which are still acceptable for the Foundation Establishment Realm. But Gu Jiancheng will soon break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, at which point these techniques and weapons will be useless.
We can't waste hundreds of strategy points like this; we need at least a Xuan-level cultivation technique and a weapon.
However, the fact that Xuan-level cultivation techniques often require thousands of strategy points makes Gu Jiancheng hesitate.
[Host, perhaps you could try your luck with the lottery; you might just get your dream item on the first try!]
Just as Gu Jiancheng was hesitating, the system notification sounded again.
lottery!?
And this thing?
Gu Jiancheng was taken aback, but the system had already displayed the lottery page in front of him.
[Host, the lottery system has a guaranteed drop rule: every 100 draws will yield a Celestial-grade treasure. Each draw costs 100 strategy points!]
A guaranteed minimum? And it's 100 points per turn?
Oh system, you're such a rip-off! Were you working in a pig farm in your past life?!
Although Gu Jiancheng complained inwardly, he still clicked on the lottery draw directly.
It costs 100 yuan per draw, and you only get one chance to win. If you don't win, that's fine!
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn the Earth-rank cultivation technique [Mysterious Jade Hand]!]
???
Earth-rank cultivation technique inheritance!?
Gu Jiancheng was greatly encouraged. He never expected that his luck would be so amazing, that he would be instantly charmed?
He immediately opened the package containing the Xuan Yu hand.
【Mysterious Jade Hand】
Introduction: This is a top-tier massage technique of Earth Rank, with profound and unparalleled effects. It has the functions of unblocking meridians, nourishing the skin and complexion, replenishing qi and blood, and dispelling cold and yin!
"what???"
Looking at this so-called Mysterious Jade Hand, Gu Jiancheng was truly astounded.
He thought he'd hit the jackpot, but all he got in return for 100 strategy points was this massage technique!?
What, are you suggesting we let him open a clubhouse at the Tai Xuan Sect in the future?
Um? wrong!
No, no!
But soon, a sudden glint appeared in Gu Jiancheng's eyes, and countless images flashed through his mind.
massage!?
Does that count as physical contact?
Gu Jiancheng immediately pulled the book off his face, his gaze sweeping over Yun Shuiyao's snow-white neck, fragrant shoulders, long legs, and jade feet...
"System, oh system, you've finally become a human for once!"
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, so Gu Jiancheng quickly sat down cross-legged to cultivate.
This jade hand also has the effect of dispelling cold and warding off evil spirits; perhaps it really will come in handy!
Thus, on the third day after Gu Jiancheng left the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty, the Imperial Guards finally escorted Gu Jiancheng's carriage to Tai Xuan City.
However, when they were ten miles away from Tai Xuan City, Gu Jiancheng sent the Imperial Guards back.
Now that we've arrived in Tai Xuan City, we no longer need the Imperial Guards for the rest of the journey.
"So this is Tai Xuan City. It is indeed even more magnificent than the imperial capital!"
Standing with his hands behind his back in front of Tai Xuan City, Gu Jiancheng couldn't help but sigh.
The Tai Xuan Sect is located on the spiritual vein of the Taihang Mountains, and the Tai Xuan City stands at the foot of the Taihang Mountains, which is extremely prosperous because of the Tai Xuan Sect.
If you wish to enter the Tai Xuan Sect to seek the Dao, Tai Xuan City is a must-visit place.
"too small."
But Yun Shuiyao, standing behind Gu Jiancheng, couldn't help but sigh.
"Hmm, maybe it's just a stepping stone."
Gu Jiancheng shrugged and then led Yunshuiyao into the city.
However, after entering the city, Yun Shuiyao regretted it. Her face was too conspicuous. She originally wanted to cover her face with a light veil, but Gu Jiancheng refused.
"Perhaps he felt it made him look good; men only know how to create trouble for themselves."
Yun Shuiyao shook her head, a bitter smile playing on her lips.
"My lady, this Qianjin Pavilion is the largest merchant house in the Taixuan Sect. Let me show you around!" Suddenly, Gu Jiancheng stopped and turned around with a smile.
"Oh."
Yunshuiyao remained noncommittal, but she already knew the truth in her heart.
Gu Jiancheng probably still thinks he can pull the same lavish spending stunt in Tai Xuan City, but what Qianjin Pavilion really wants isn't gold or silver, but spirit stones.
Since they had already arrived at the trading house, Yun Shuiyao followed Gu Jiancheng inside. If there were truly treasures, she could buy them later once she had spirit stones from the Tai Xuan Sect.
To Gu Jiancheng's disappointment, although the treasures here were all rare finds in the Great Qian Dynasty, none of them were worthy of Yunshuiyao.
"Ok?"
But the next moment, Gu Jiancheng saw a pile of stones of different sizes on a counter.
Under the gaze of his all-seeing eyes, he was astonished to discover that some stones actually concealed a precious radiance!
This divine eye even has a X-ray vision effect?
"Young lady, this necklace of mine is quite nice, and it suits your refined and elegant temperament perfectly. If you like it, I will give it to you!"
Yun Shuiyao simply stood in the lobby of the business, and instantly attracted many eyes.
Regardless of gender, no one can resist the charm and beauty of Yunshuiyao.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Yun Shuiyao, followed by a merchant manager carrying a treasure box.
Inside the treasure box was a necklace made of water marrow beads, with rune markings on it. It was a Yellow-rank magic artifact, and in this Tai Xuan City, it was indeed quite valuable.
But Yun Shuiyao only glanced at it before avoiding eye contact, and showed no intention of speaking.
"This young lady, this is Ji Mingyang, the second prince of the Great Yan Dynasty, with a mid-level talent in spiritual physique!"
"That's right, Prince Mingyang will be going to participate in the Tai Xuan Sect's entrance examination soon to become an inner disciple!"
"Hehe, it is said that Prince Mingyang also possesses a spiritual fire and is proficient in alchemy. He will be attending the alchemist certification event at the Tai Xuan Alchemy Conference later!"
The surrounding exclamations of praise rose and fell, causing the so-called Prince Mingyang to straighten his back.
Upon arriving in Tai Xuan City, he met Yun Shuiyao at the Qianjin Trading Company. Her ethereal and otherworldly beauty and appearance deeply moved this prince, who had seen countless beauties.
In his view, only he, the chosen one of heaven, was qualified to possess such a beauty.
Moreover, judging from her attire, she was not from any sect; a string of beaded curtains was enough to win the heart of a beauty.
"Yun Yao, are you tired of waiting? Look, I've carefully selected a gift for you."
But at that moment, what surprised Prince Mingyang was that a figure suddenly squeezed into the crowd and appeared in front of the beauty.
Moreover, their words were intimate, suggesting an unusual relationship.
But when his gaze fell on the man's palm, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Who are you? Do you know this girl well?"
"And you think you can give such a broken rock as a gift?"
“It’s hilarious!”
"Where did this country bumpkin come from? Get out!"
Once the surrounding crowd recovered from their shock, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Given the choice between a stone and a string of yellow-tier magical artifacts, who would choose the stone?
"Ah."
But the next moment, Yun Shuiyao nodded slightly and actually raised her hand towards the broken stone.
Everyone:? ? ?
