257: Qianqiu: What happened to the one-of-a-kind thing?
Saying that, Gu Liangyuan transformed the Nine Kill Sword into a red glow and thrust it towards the two.
Upon being pierced by the Nine Kill Sword, their bodies instantly went limp, leaving only a husk.
Gu Liangyuan reached out, and the Nine Kill Sword reappeared in his hand.
The moment Gu Liangyuan grasped the Nine Kill Sword, a surge of pure Cultivation Technique energy flowed back to him.
Through the operation of the Forget Love Sutra, this Cultivation Technique energy transformed into pure Chaos Spiritual Qi, entering his Dantian.
The Jade Pond in Gu Liangyuan's Dantian, which had been depleted by half, was instantly refilled.
The Primordial Spirits of Chen and Shen also did not escape, being absorbed by Mo Tan Kill to become new Halberd Generals.
At this point, Little Gold finally mustered the courage to step out from behind Gu Liangyuan.
It stomped on the remaining husks of the two, seemingly venting its frustration.
Suddenly, an unnamed fire ignited, reducing the husks to ashes.
The sudden blaze scared Little Gold, who let out a yelp and hid behind Gu Liangyuan again.
Gu Liangyuan reached out and stroked Little Gold's head to comfort it:
"Don't be afraid, they're already dead."
Little Gold looked up, fully enjoying Gu Liangyuan's caress.
Its frantic heart gradually calmed down.
Gu Liangyuan's gentle voice came:
"It's not that I won't let you go out and play, but this world is too dangerous."
"Look, anyone can take your life, how dangerous is that?"
"When your strength reaches a certain level, I'll let you have a good time."
Saying that, Gu Liangyuan took out another drop of Kirin Blood:
"Come on, swallow it, and when you get stronger, you can go out and play."
Listening to Gu Liangyuan's words, a hint of struggle flashed in Little Gold's eyes at first, then it looked up at Gu Liangyuan, who was smiling at it, and its gaze gradually became firm!
I want to go out and play, I want to get stronger!
So, it opened its mouth.
After swallowing the Kirin Blood, it fell into a deep sleep again.
Gu Liangyuan nodded in satisfaction, and with a thought, he withdrew the Slaughter Domain and descended towards Qianqiu and the other girl.
"Master!"
The two girls simultaneously cried out excitedly, then quickly trotted towards Gu Liangyuan.
Gu Liangyuan swept his Divine Sense, and the information of his two disciples was laid bare.
First was Qianqiu; although she had always possessed Luck as vast as the heavens, a golden glow of Luck was all that topped her head.
Now, this golden glow had taken form, transforming into a golden carp swimming within the golden glow of Luck.
Above the carp, there was also a faintly discernible great gate.
The carp is a Dragon species; once it crosses the great gate, it can successfully transform into a Dragon.
Gu Liangyuan was pleased; Luck taking form, this level of Luck no longer belonged to an ordinary Child of Destiny.
Qianqiu's Luck was bound to the Great Abyss, and as the Great Abyss's strength increased, this Luck would also increase.
It was not impossible for Luck to transform into a Dragon.
Looking at Qianqiu's cultivation, she had now reached Core Formation Seventh Stage.
Her Physical Body cultivation was also at Core Formation Fourth Stage.
Having ascended to the position of Empress and supplemented by an Emperor Sutra, Qianqiu's cultivation speed was now twice as fast as when she was on Forget-Love Peak.
In terms of talent alone, Qianqiu was already the best in the world; now, with the added blessing of the Dynasty's Luck, this cultivation speed was rarely seen anywhere.
Gu Liangyuan estimated that Qianqiu's talent at this moment, if one were to disregard his own cheat-like power return, was already catching up to his own.
Moreover, as the Great Abyss developed, Qianqiu's cultivation speed would also increase.
The later the stage, the faster the cultivation speed.
It took Qianqiu more than two years to cultivate from a Mortal to Core Formation, but from her initial entry into Core Formation to her current cultivation, it was only a few months, almost breaking through a minor stage each month.
Gu Liangyuan was greatly comforted; his efforts in cultivating her were not in vain.
After observing Qianqiu, Gu Liangyuan then looked at Song Xianer.
This glance surprised Gu Liangyuan considerably.
At this moment, Song Xianer's cultivation was even higher than Qianqiu's, having reached Core Formation Eighth Stage.
Furthermore, she had cultivated a Body Cultivator Cultivation Technique, and her Physical Body cultivation was also at Eighth Stage.
It was just that her Cultivation Technique energy was slightly unstable, clearly indicating that she had not long ago achieved her Breakthrough and had not yet had time to stabilize it.
"Not bad, not bad," Gu Liangyuan praised sincerely.
"If things continue like this, in another two or three years, even if you can't catch up to Revered Master's current cultivation, you'll be pretty close."
As Gu Liangyuan spoke these words, a sense of urgency arose in his heart.
With his cheat, it had taken him nearly three years to go from Foundation Establishment to Void Refining.
Although the main reason was being stuck at the Soul Transformation bottleneck for too long, Gu Liangyuan felt it wasn't slow.
His two disciples, relying purely on their talent, were almost catching up to him.
This made Gu Liangyuan happy, but also made him feel a subtle pressure.
The two girls smiled upon receiving their Revered Master's praise.
Song Xianer's eyes darted, and she blurted out:
"Does Revered Master have a reward?"
As soon as Song Xianer spoke, Qianqiu, who was beside her, subtly changed her expression.
She had vaguely guessed what Song Xianer wanted.
A few days ago, she had an argument with Song Xianer.
...
That day, the sun was bright.
Qianqiu was working at her desk when Song Xianer walked over triumphantly:
"Senior Sister, have you noticed anything?"
Qianqiu looked up and saw Song Xianer standing gracefully, her Core Formation Eighth Stage cultivation completely undisguised.
Song Xianer deliberately sighed:
"Alas, I carelessly reached Core Formation Eighth Stage."
"Oh, Senior Sister, why are you still at Core Formation Seventh Stage?"
"Is it not good for me, as a Junior Sister, to surpass my Senior Sister in cultivation?"
Although Qianqiu felt pressure due to Song Xianer's words, she showed no expression on her face, merely gently pulling aside her shoulder to reveal a red strap.
What Qianqiu was wearing was precisely that Phoenix Jade Bellyband.
Although Qianqiu did not speak, it dealt a critical blow to Song Xianer.
The triumph on her face immediately vanished, replaced by a hint of anger, and she raised her voice:
"My cultivation is higher than yours!"
Qianqiu: "I have the Phoenix Bellyband."
Song Xianer: "Not only is my cultivation higher than yours, but my Physical Body cultivation is also higher than yours!"
Qianqiu: "I have the Phoenix Bellyband."
Song Xianer was exasperated:
"I've comprehended three types of Sword Intent, and I've mastered more Divine Abilities than you!"
Qianqiu: "I have the unique Phoenix Bellyband gifted by Revered Master."
A decisive blow!
Song Xianer completely lost her composure.
She bit her lip, looking at Qianqiu, with even a hint of mist in her eyes.
Song Xianer had originally thought that with her status in her previous life, she should be able to treat Qianqiu with an air of superiority, completely crushing her.
But she found she was wrong; at this moment, she felt as if she had returned to her childhood, like her beloved toy had been snatched away by a good friend.
An indescribable feeling of discomfort and sourness filled her heart.
She blinked her eyes, the mist in them disappeared, and then she glared at Qianqiu before leaving in resentment.
Qianqiu realized that from then on, this Phoenix Bellyband seemed to have become Song Xianer's Heart Demon.
Now that she had the opportunity, she naturally wanted to ask for it.
Indeed, it was just as Qianqiu expected.
Gu Liangyuan gently rubbed Song Xianer's head: "Tell me, what gift do you want?"
Song Xianer spoke:
"I want the same bellyband as Senior Sister."
Huh?
Looking at Song Xianer's expectant gaze, and then at Qianqiu's somewhat unnatural expression, Gu Liangyuan felt his head spin.
