At this time, Taoist Master Yunlong was in very bad condition.
His lifespan was already short, and he had just endured another catastrophe, which made the situation even worse.
If Gu Lan hadn't arrived in time, he might not be able to withstand the next catastrophe.
Knowing that the situation was critical, Zhong Ren sent the Spirit-Gathering and Life-Sustaining Golden Pill almost immediately.
Gu Lan took the hard-won elixir and fed it to Taoist Yunlong without hesitation.
Taoist Priest Yunlong took the Soul-Gathering Life-Sustaining Pill, and his pale complexion instantly became radiant!
Powerful vitality surged from his body, and he quickly activated his true energy to refine it, unwilling to waste this precious vitality.
After refining all the vitality, Taoist Master Yunlong opened his eyes again, and he immediately looked at the sky.
Thinking back to the scene that just happened, he still had an unreal feeling.
Under the catastrophe, everyone will become an ant.
As someone who has faced the Heavenly Tribulation directly, Taoist Priest Yunlong knows very well how terrifying the pressure of the Heavenly Tribulation is.
But such a terrifying calamity was wiped out by Gu Lan's sword?
Little friend...
How many surprises do you have that I don't know about?
Taoist priest Yunlong looked at Gu Lan, feeling even more certain that he had made the right decision in sending Zhongren to him.
Seeing Taoist Master Yunlong wake up, Zhongren quickly stepped forward to take care of him.
"Master, how do you feel?"
"The effect of the Soul-Gathering and Life-Sustaining Golden Pill is even more powerful than the rumors record. My teacher's injuries are no longer affected, and his cultivation that has been shackles for many years has also broken through..."
Taoist Master Yunlong stood up slowly, his aura suddenly rising.
His cultivation level immediately rose from the peak of the Emperor's level to the early stage of the Saint's level, and his state was very stable, not like he had just been promoted.
"Congratulations, Taoist priest, it's a blessing in disguise."
Gu Lan smiled and held his hands in congratulations.
Taoist priest Yunlong returned the gift and took the remaining life-gathering pill from Zhongren's hand.
"My little friend, I made two soul-gathering and life-sustaining golden elixirs."
"One of them has been taken by Pindao. Please be sure to accept the remaining one."
Taoist Master Yunlong looked serious.
After his cultivation breakthrough, he became more sensitive to the secrets of heaven.
For a person as lucky as Gu Lan, it's okay to let the other person owe him a favor. If he owes the other person a favor, he will have to pay it back sooner or later.
If the time comes to pay it back but you can't, it will kill you.
Seeing how solemn Taoist Yunlong was, Gu Lan accepted the last soul-gathering and life-extending golden elixir without any hesitation.
The elixir can prolong life and also has the effect of bringing the dead back to life.
It's of no use to you, but it's useful to others, and you might be able to use it one day.
For example, if Old Yangtou, who has aged for a hundred years, takes this elixir, he will have no problem living for a few more decades... Of course, this is just an analogy, to extend the life of Old Yangtou. Gu Lan didn't know how many pills he had prepared.
At this level, some are overqualified.
"My little friend, now that Pindao has made a breakthrough in cultivation, I don't need to trouble you to take care of my disciple anymore... Next, Pindao will keep Zhongren in seclusion in Tianji Pavilion for a period of time, and completely pass on the Tianji Pavilion inheritance to him."
"If you have any pills that need to be refined, you can send a message to Tianji Pavilion at any time."
"As long as I have free time, I will refine it for my little friends!"
Seeing Gu Lan accept the pill, Taoist Master Yunlong proposed to keep Zhong Ren.
There is an ancestral land inheritance in Tianji Pavilion. Entering the rumored Tianji Pavilion will allow Zhongren to completely inherit the mantle of Tianji Pavilion.
Gu Lan naturally had no objection to this.
However, Gu Lan really had to ask Taoist Master Yunlong to refine the elixir.
He plans to refine some elixirs for cultivating little Suanni. The materials are not difficult to find and are all available in his warehouse.
Taoist Master Yunlong and Zhong Ren are going to retreat, so they can take advantage of the retreat time to help refine the elixir.
Gu Lan left behind a prescription for elixirs and some alchemy materials, and then left with Gu Xiaoqi and Xiao Suanni.
After leaving Tianji Pavilion, Gu Lan took Gu Xiaoqi and Xiao Suanni back to the capital of Dajing.
Through the communication magic weapon brought back from the fairy world, Gu Lan had long known that the lady was playing with her daughter in the Gu Mansion at this time.
...
"Stay! Jump!"
"Stay! Fall!"
In the small courtyard of the Gu Mansion, a mountain puppet dressed as a book boy was jumping up and down on the rockery, carrying a small book boy on his back.
On the side, little Simu put her hands on her hips and made a milky sound, but she looked like a little commander.
Mu Yuyan and Liu Yexi were playing military chess, while Xiao Feier was playing the piano on one side to entertain them.
The situation in the war chess game is currently very good for Liu Yexi.
The reasons are, firstly, because Mu Yuyan is mostly concerned about little Simu, and secondly, this war chess is a newly invented thing by Gu Lan. The empress has never dabbled in it and only taught it to the female officials. Time to relax and play.
The breeze blows and harmonizes with the sound of the piano.
Mu Yuyan brushed her hair in front of her forehead with her hand.
In the palace on weekdays, she is Empress Dajing.
But in the Gu Mansion, she was just Gu Lan's wife and Xiao Simu's mother.
Here, she can let go of many things and find peace and tranquility.
So she prefers the feeling of staying in the Gu Mansion than the palace.
Now that Dajing's fortune is prosperous, the demon clan seems to be very interested in peace talks, and other surrounding dynasties will not dare to make any small moves against Dajing in the next hundred years.
Mu Yuyan is no longer as busy as before...well, at least not as much on state affairs during the day.
In addition, with Sima Qin and other ministers sharing the burden, Mu Yuyan could spend more time on cultivation and spending time with her husband-in-law and her daughter.
"Your Majesty, it seems you have lost."
"The chessboard is like a battlefield. Don't be distracted when playing chess. If you are distracted, you will lose."
"Your Majesty taught me this!"
Liu Yexi moved a chess piece and looked at Mu Yuyan with a smile.
Mu Yuyan looked at the chessboard and realized that she had indeed lost. She smiled and didn't care too much.
Her state of mind now is very different from before.
This may be related to the inheritance of the remnant soul of the senior saint in the Black Tower, or it may be that the husband and daughter subtly made the previously sharp empress become gentle.
"Stay! Run!"
Little Simu and the mountain-backed puppet stood blankly on the same starting line.
The moment he heard the word "run", the puppet turned into a strong wind and ran forward.
It was so fast that it was about to hit the courtyard wall and turn the place into ruins.
Mu Yu Yanyu raised her hand, a flash of light appeared on her fingertips, and she was about to take action.
boom!
The mountain-backed puppet flew out upside down.
At the same time, a gentle force held him and gently placed him on the ground.
In the small courtyard, Gu Xiaoqi's beautiful figure in red appeared first.
Then there is Xiao Suanni.
Finally, there is Gu Lan, who is wearing a green gown.
The one who just took action was Gu Lan.
Naturally, he couldn't watch the puppet carrying a mountain crash into the courtyard wall of Gu's mansion.
"Daddy!"
Little Simu flew into Gu Lan's arms.
Then he looked at Gu Xiaoqi and shouted with a smile: "Qiqi!"
"It's Sister Qiqi!"
Gu Xiaoqi wrinkled his nose and corrected it in time.
"Qiqi!"
Little Simu still tilted her head and shouted the original title.
Gu Xiaoqi could only sigh helplessly.
Every time she meets little Simu, she feels like an adult.
This feeling is very complicated. She has always wanted to grow up, but her master's love makes her not want to grow up.
But when she really met a little devil who was younger than herself and more capable of tormenting than herself, she felt a little helpless and had a headache!
"rhubarb?"
At this time, Xiao Simu suddenly pointed at Xiao Suanni and shouted.
Xiao Suanni: "???"
Gu Xiaoqi: "..."
It's golden, not yellow, let alone rhubarb!
"Is this the bloodline of Suanni, the King of Ferocious Beasts? What a powerful aura!"
"Even if this little guy is less than a month old, ordinary king-level monks may not be able to defeat it, right?"
Liu Yexi's eyes fell on Xiao Suanni, and her heart was shocked.
Long before, Gu Lan had already introduced the origin of Xiao Suanni through Mu Yuyan's unique communication magic weapon.
But when she really saw the legendary ancient ferocious beast Suanni, she was still extremely amazed!
