Chapter 468: The Star-Catg Old Ghost!

  “Sixth-rank alchemist?”

  Hearing Xiao Yi Xian’s words, Han Yue and Han Xue’s mouths opened wide in astonishment.

  Currently, even the highest-ranked alchemist among the Han family’s s was only a fifth-rank alchemist, and that person was a white-haired elder. How old could their eldest senior brother, Liu Ling, be?

  After thinking for a moment, Han Xue suddenly asked Xiao Yi Xian, “If Eldest Senior Brother is already a sixth-rank alchemist at his age, then what rank is Master? Seventh? Or eveh?”

  “Master has definitely reached the seventh rank. As for whether he’s eighth, I’m irely sure,” Xiao Yi Xian replied, shaking her head. In her opinion, however, it was highly likely that Gu He had already achieved the eighth rank.

  “Xue’er, Master has been a seventh-rank alchemist for quite some time. Acc to Senior Sister Zi Yan, Master once gifted her a seventh-rank pill back when she was in the academy,” Han Yue added.

  “Zi Yan…”

  This wasn’t the first time Nan Yanran and Xiao Yi Xian had heard the oday. Both of them were now quite intrigued by this mysterious Zi Yaioned by Han Yue and Han Xue.

  “Han Yue, does this mean Junior Sister Zi Ya somewhere else to train on her own?” Xiao Yi Xian asked curiously.

  “Yes. When I parted ways with Senior Sister Zi Yan, she had already reached the advanced Dou Emperor realm. With her strength, expl tral Pins shouldn’t pose much of a problem,” Han Yue nodded.

  Xiao Yi Xian uood that Han Yue and Zi Yan were also on training missions sting two years. Thinking about this, she sighed, “tral Pins is so vast. Finding her would be nearly impossible. Even if Master uses the spatial jade talisman to locate her, she won’t stay in one pce. I guess we’ll just have to wait until the time es for Junior Sister Zi Yan to return on her own.”

  “Indeed,” Han Yue agreed, nodding lightly. “Senior Sister Zi Yaiohat she would return when I participate in the Four Pavilion Grand petition. That’s less than fourteen months away now, so it shouldn’t be too long before she starts her journey back.”

  “In that case, we’ll stay here with you until then!”

  “Haha, Senior Sister Xian, before heading to the Tianmu Mountain Range, I already had Xue’er prepare your rooms!” Han Yue said cheerfully. “They’re over there. Let’s go take a look!”

  …

  Three months passed quickly. During this time, with Nan Yanran, Xiao Yi Xian, and the others apanying Yun Yun at the Han family estate, Gu He ofteianbei City to refine pills in nearby secluded mountains.

  Ihree months, Gu He successfully refihree seventh-rank pills and fully absorbed the cultivation energy returo him by his disciples.

  This process of absorption and refi exceeded Gu He’s expectations, allowing him to press his Dou Qi four times. As a result, his cultivation level advao the peak of Eight-Rotation Dou Vee.

  One day, three months ter, while preparing to refine pills in a remote mountain, Gu He suddenly received a mental transmission from Xue Tianzun, the Blood Vee of the Soul Hall’s Northern Region Branch.

  “Master, a Vee from another branch has visited today!”

  Hearing the message, Gu He immediately responded with a and in his mind: “Act acc to the situation a to me at all times!”

  After issuing this and, Gu He swiftly stowed the Dragon Soul Cauldron, which stood firmly on the ground. His figure then turned into a thick streak of silver lightning and vanished into the void.

  Deep within the Northern Region, in a notorious mountain raeeming with ferocious beasts, a massive bck hall stood like an a colossus. The imposing structure was shrouded in the depths of the wilderness, exuding a mysterious and foreboding aura.

  Simir to the aan Academy's Inner Court, the colossal bck hall was enveloped by a distorted spatial barrier.

  At this moment, just outside the hall's massive doors, dozens of figures bck robes k respectfully. Each of these individuals had a cultivation level of at least the Dou Aor realm.

  Ahead of the kneeling figures, two people walked side by side.

  One of them wore a crimson robe, his long hair as red as blood, and his aged face was marked with the passage of time. This crimson-robed elder was her than Blood Vee, a Soul Hall Vee who had previously been tricked into the Bck-er Region by Elder Yeming and subsequently bound with a puppet seed by Gu He.

  Beside Blood Vee was anure, also a bck robe like the Soul Hall Protectors kneeling around them. His fad hands, exposed outside his robes, were dry and shriveled, resembling little more than skin stretched over bone. Yet the aura emanating from him was incredibly powerful, indig he was at the peak of the Five-Star Dou Vee realm.

  As they approached the massive bck hall, Blood Vee smiled and spoke to the bck-robed elder beside him. “Star-Catg Old Ghost, what brings you here this time?”

  “Sigh…”

  The bck-robed elder, addressed as Star-Catg Old Ghost, let out a long sigh before replying, “Blood Brother, I’m on a mission this time. Passing through yion, I thought I’d stop by for a visit.”

  “Oh? Star-Catg Old Ghost, what task could trouble you so much?” Blood Vee asked in surprise.

  “It’s about…”

  Star-Catg Old Ghost began to speak but, notig the numerous Soul Hall Protectors kneeling before them, chose to hold back his words.

  “Let’s head inside first,” he said, pausing momentarily before flig his sleeve and striding toward the hall.

  Seeing this, Blood Vee quickly followed.

  Before long, the two ehrough the giant doors, traversing several dim, eerie corridors until they arrived at a secluded room deep within the hall. The room was illuminated by ghostly green fmes flickering in the dark.

  Onside, Blood Vee quickly performed several hand seals, and the room was soon sealed by a peculiar energy, isoting it pletely.

  After pleting the precautionary measures, Blood Vee turo Star-Catg Old Ghost with a faint smile. “Hehe, Star-Catg Old Ghost, now that we’re secure, are you ready to share the details of your mission?”

  “Sigh… This mission involves the fallen a imperial , the Xiao ,” Star-Catg Old Ghost replied with a sigh.

  “Oh, the Xiao , that fallen a imperial family… For the Hall Master to assign you personally, it must be a signifit matter!” Blood Vee excimed in surprise.

  “This wasn’t the Hall Master’s directive. I’ve bee by Lord Nine Vee to the Northwestern ti,” Star-Catg Old Ghost expined.

  “Ah, so it’s Lord Nine Vee’s orders?” Blood Vee nodded slightly.

  “Exactly. The ones inally tasked with operations in the Northwestern ti haven’t sent bay updates for a long time. This time, the Hall decided to send me personally to iigate.”
