Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1097 - 134: Ten Thousand Year Sacred Medicine_2

"As you say." Upon hearing Gu Chen's compromise and that he no longer acted distantly as before, Princess Xidie's face instantly lit up with joy, her heart filled with immense satisfaction, elevating her mood to the extreme.

Gu Chen also hadn't expected that merely changing the way he addressed her could please Princess Xidie so much.

Subsequently, he took Princess Xidie and left the place.

The Holy Grounds were vast and contained several areas where remnants of the enlightenment paths of the mightiest practitioners lingered. Gu Chen took Princess Xidie to these sites, where they encountered many students from Qingyun Academy meditating.

However, apart from the first time, where he obtained the Moving Mountain Seal and made breakthroughs in all four disciplines, the gains from the other three enlightenment sites weren't as substantial for Gu Chen.

Moreover, these places lacked the Origin Marks left by supremely powerful practitioners for inheritance, containing only traces of hallowed essence that could aid cultivators in their practice.

In the blink of an eye, it was their fifth day in the Holy Grounds.

During this time, Gu Chen, to make it up to Princess Xidie, specifically took her to places of enlightenment, which greatly advanced her cultivation level.

"It's about time we looked for the Ten Thousand Year Sacred Medicine, otherwise, it will all end up in Brother Zishu's hands," Princess Xidie said to Gu Chen one day.

She knew Gu Chen possessed the Heavenly Eye, which allowed him to see great distances even within the Holy Grounds, unlike any other cultivator who came here.

"Alright."

Gu Chen nodded, employed his Heavenly Eye, and his eyes shone brilliantly with mysterious runes flashing in their depths and intricate essences swirling around his eyes.

Princess Xidie's bright eyes stared unwaveringly at Gu Chen, filled with pride over his exceptional abilities.

At the same time, she felt a secret joy, knowing she was one of only two people aware of Gu Chen's secret.

As for the other, Taoxu Road's Saintess Chu Yue Ling, Princess Xidie wasn't foolish; she could clearly see that Gu Chen's relationship with her was quite extraordinary, even close.

But she didn't dwell too much on it, as she wasn't a petty person and had confidence in herself.

Even so, Princess Xidie thought that if Gu Chen could win over someone as outstanding as Taoxu Road's Saintess Chu Yue Ling, wouldn't that further prove the caliber of the man she favored?

"Hmm?!"

But the next moment, Gu Chen's expression changed abruptly while using his Heavenly Eye to search for the Ten Thousand Year Sacred Medicine; the usually calm and unruffled man suddenly showed anger on his face.

"What's wrong?"

Princess Xidie's brows furrowed slightly. Having spent so much time with Gu Chen, she rarely saw him show such emotions, indicating something serious must have happened.

At that moment, through Gu Chen's vision, he saw, hundreds of miles away, that the three individuals from Zhenyuan were all seriously wounded and being besieged!

And the ones who had injured them were Qu Ping from the Wonderful Law Hall and Su Yiqing from Hao Tian Sect, who were actively chasing the trio from Zhenyuan.

Behind these two, stood Tang Yu from Misty Palace and Shi Yao from the Green Eyed Golden Lion Clan, who were frowning, clearly displeased with Qu Ping and Su Yiqing's actions.

Had it not been for the necessity to face Yun Zishu together, they would have parted ways with these two long ago.

"Zhenyuan and the others are injured!" Gu Chen's expression turned grim, causing the temperature around him to drop drastically.

Whether in the upper realms or back then in Da Xia, he had a good impression of the Saintly Son of Zhenyuan, the Saintly Son Bai Jingyuan from Cloud Heaven Palace, and the Buddhist Son Su Nan from Sumi Buddhist Sect, and had discerned that the three from Zhenyuan had genuine character and were friends worth making.

Back then, when the six Saintly Sons descended to the lower realm, the trio from Zhenyuan did not join Fu Ling and the others in conspiring against him or Da Xia.

It was then that Gu Chen recognized their decent nature and saw them as friends worth befriending.

Having arrived in the upper realm and mistakenly transported to the East Profound Realm, the four of them reunited. Due to certain reasons, Gu Chen did not reveal his identity, but their relationship remained very harmonious.

Unexpectedly, today, he actually saw his few friends, Zhen Yuan, and others being chased to be killed. Naturally, Gu Chen highly valued them.

"Then let's hurry over," Princess Xidie said sternly, her intelligence surpassing others, obviously aware of Zhen Yuan's importance in Gu Chen's heart.

Gu Chen did not respond but took Princess Xidie and performed Soaring Over Void, rushing over at an extremely fast speed.

...

"Zhen Yuan, if you must blame anyone, you can only blame yourselves for being too close to Gu Bai!" Qu Ping from Wonderful Law Hall shouted.

Five days ago, just upon entering the land of Holy Melodies, he and Su Yiqing were injured by a mere glance from Gu Chen, even under the public eye, something that deeply shamed them and nearly drove them mad.

Luckily, their extraordinary backgrounds provided them with various healing medicines, quickly curing their injuries and finding considerable fortune in the land of Holy Melodies, significantly improving their strength.

With their increased power, Qu Ping and Su Yiqing gained confidence, and when they saw the Zhen Yuan trio in this place while searching for an ancient medicine, they decided to attack them, teach them a lesson, and then drive them away.

Although Tang Yu and Shi Yao disapproved, they stayed because of the ancient medicine's presence.

Facing such a treasure, even they were tempted.

"The millennia-old medicine, Mo Jade Bamboo!"

At this moment, Tang Yu, Shi Yao, and the other two were in a bamboo forest, beautifully idyllic surrounded by numerous exotic bamboos, each one displaying a deep green hue.

And at the deepest part of this forest, there stood a millennium-old sacred medicine called Mo Jade Bamboo. If obtained, Tang Yu and the others were confident they could take a significant step forward in strength, possibly even breaking into Huanxu Realm!

How could such a treasure not tempt them? They couldn't possibly concede it to Zhen Yuan and his companions.

"Zhen Yuan, if you know what's good for you and agree to treat Gu Bai as a stranger from now on, I might consider sparing the two of you," Qu Ping from Wonderful Law Hall thought maliciously, as he concocted this idea to irritate Gu Chen.

"In your dreams!"

Zhen Yuan and his companions, blood-stained, had cold, harsh glares. They couldn't believe that Qu Ping and Su Yiqing, heirs of a colossal power from the upper realm, could be so despicable.

Luckily, their background, though not the strongest, provided them with life-saving artifacts, enabling them to hold on till now.

"Gu Bai is deeply calculating, using treasures to hide his strength, and who knows what he is scheming in his mind. I do this for your good. If he had no ulterior motives, why would he spend his days with you and Princess Xidie?" Hao Tian Sect's Su Yiqing also said, feigning benevolence, supposedly considering their well-being.

"Don't judge Brother Gu with your opportunistic thoughts," Bai Jingyuan of Cloud Heaven Palace said coldly, blood dripping from his mouth.

"Amitabha, the ones attached are you, not Gu donor. He has already become your demon," Su Nan from Sumeru Buddhist sect said, making this point.

Hearing this, Qu Ping and Su Yiqing's expressions suddenly changed, a sore spot touched.

"Stubborn fools!"

Especially Qu Ping from Wonderful Law Hall, his eyes flashed with a cold light, a tricolored glow converging, he struck out fiercely, instantly causing the Heavenly Earth Essence Qi in front of him to burst open with formidable power.

"Pfft!"

Zhen Yuan and his companions resisted together, using the life-saving artifacts bestowed by their sect, but still suffered severe injuries, spewing blood as they were sent flying.

"Gu Bai is nothing! Even if he appeared before me now, I could suppress him just the same. He wishes to become my inner demon? How laughable!" scoffed Qu Ping, his expression utterly cold.
