Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Where the Hell Have You Been?
"The Ice and Snow Phoenix, I wonder how it’s doing."
Gu Chenfeng muttered to himself, his gaze directed towards the deepest part of the Frozen World.
"There’s an auction tomorrow. I have to hurry back, or else Fairy Qiushui will surely kill me." Gu Chenfeng chuckled bitterly to himself.
Who would have thought that the mighty Eternal Celestial Emperor would be afraid of a woman?
Despite having merged all his memories, he remained Gu Chenfeng, just with the memories of the Eternal Celestial Emperor.
Looking at Wan’Er, Gu Chenfeng smiled faintly, "Miss Wan’Er, the Frozen World is too dangerous. Since we’ve found the Phoenix Essence, let’s head back."
"If we don’t make it to the auction tomorrow and Fairy Qiushui gets angry, she might kill me."
"Alright." Wan’Er nodded with a smile and said, "We’ve been really lucky to have found so many treasures shortly after entering."
With a wave of her jade hand, Wan’Er conjured an Ice Attribute Energy vortex out of thin air.
"Ice Attribute Escape Technique, the Yin Yang Race really has some skills," Gu Chenfeng thought to himself. "Who would have thought that the small race from back then has become so powerful now?"
Even before his eighth reincarnation, Gu Chenfeng was aware of the existence of the Yin Yang Race, but at that time, their strength was average.
"Brother Feng, let’s go," Wan’Er said sweetly, pulling Gu Chenfeng into the vortex, and the little wolf pup followed quickly.
When they reappeared, they were already at the peak of the previous mountain.
"Brother Feng, the Phoenix Essence can enhance Ice Attribute Power, making your Ice Attribute even stronger. Are you sure you don’t want it?" Wan’Er asked again.
Gu Chenfeng shook his head slightly, "To be honest, Miss Wan’Er, you risked so much to take me into the Frozen World just to help me enhance my Ice Attribute. I’m very touched and grateful, but you probably need it more than I do."
"Alright then, I’ll accept it. Here, Brother Feng, take this. It’s the Earth Core Snow Lotus Liquid from earlier, you must accept it," Wan’Er said with a gentle smile, then took out two jade bottles and handed them to Gu Chenfeng.
"Alright, I’ll accept it." Gu Chenfeng smiled faintly and, with a wave of his hand, stored the two jade bottles into the Return to Ruins Ring.
Gu Chenfeng then cupped his hands in thanks, "Miss Wan’Er, I need to rush back to the Commerce Association. Thank you so much for your help today. If you need anything in the future, feel free to ask me; I’ll do my utmost."
As he finished speaking, Gu Chenfeng flew with Sword Control towards the Ancient God Mountain Commerce Association.
However.
As Gu Chenfeng vanished into the horizon, Wan’Er suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, her delicate face turning pale, and purple lines appeared.
Soon, Wan’Er’s vision darkened, and she fell downwards.
"Saintess!" Two Yin Yang Race experts appeared instantly.
Seeing the purple lines on Wan’Er’s face, one of them exclaimed, "Oh no! The saintess’s Yin Yang Curse Vein is acting up."
The other asked in panic and confusion, "Doesn’t the Saintess have the Clan Leader’s power to suppress the Yin Yang Curse Vein? Why is it acting up?"
"It’s probably because the Saintess overused the Clan Leader’s power in the Frozen World. Stop talking and let’s take the Saintess back immediately."
Wan’Er’s Yin Yang Curse Vein acted up, clearly due to overexerting the Tribulation Stage power on Ice Island, leaving insufficient power to suppress the Yin Yang Curse Vein.
...
Ancient God Mountain Commerce Association.
When Gu Chenfeng returned, it was already the morning of the second day.
And the auction had just ended.
"Truly a miraculous elixir that can heal foundational issues, the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill is indeed priceless."
"Only a Royal Artifact can be exchanged for the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill. Such incredible value is beyond our reach."
"Rarity makes it precious, and only Fairy Qiushui can refine it. We just hope Fairy Qiushui can produce it soon."
Many cultivators leaving the auction hall looked full of disappointment and helplessness.
Soon, another group of cultivators emerged, bringing lively and jubilant voices.
"Fairy Qiushui, when will you make more Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pills?"
"Fairy Qiushui, can we pre-order the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill? Can you lower the price a bit?"
"Fairy Qiushui, I want to reserve one too!"
Numerous cultivators surrounded Fairy Qiushui, asking excitedly as they came out of the auction hall.
Shangguan Yanran was directly left behind.
Seeing Fairy Qiushui walk out, Gu Chenfeng was taken aback and quickly turned away.
But it was too late; Ling Qiushui had already seen him.
"Gu Chenfeng!" Ling Qiushui’s smiling face instantly turned cold, erupting with a terrifying aura and Ice Attribute Power, charging out like a raging beast.
The cultivators who didn’t know what was happening, especially those blocking the way, were directly sent flying by the powerful force.
"Gu Chenfeng?" Shangguan Yanran was slightly stunned and then softly said, "I’m curious, what kind of genius disciple this Gu Chenfeng is."
Seeing Ling Qiushui’s more fearsome demeanor than a beast, Gu Chenfeng broke into a cold sweat and quickly fled.
"The mighty Eternal Celestial Emperor, yet there comes a day where he has to cower like this," Gu Chenfeng lamented to himself.
But how can a Fasting Stage outrun a Nascent Soul Stage?
In less than three seconds, Ling Qiushui was already in front of Gu Chenfeng, blocking his path.
With a cold glare fixed on Gu Chenfeng, Ling Qiushui angrily asked, "Why are you running?"
"Fairy Qiushui, you’re chasing me, of course, I have to run," Gu Chenfeng replied with an awkward smile, cold sweat already streaming down his back.
"Where have you been?" Ling Qiushui coldly questioned, walking over with a predatory demeanor, her tone filled with boundless anger.
"Fairy Qiushui, you were gone for so long, I could only stroll down the mountain foot," Gu Chenfeng hastily explained, lying as if it were the truth.
"Is that so? And Su Shisan? Don’t tell me he’s already gone," Ling Qiushui narrowed her eyes at Gu Chenfeng, clearly not believing his story.
Gu Chenfeng chuckled dryly, "Fairy Qiushui, you’re right, he indeed left."
"Not confessing, huh? Then I’ll hit you until you confess!" Ling Qiushui yelled angrily, her jade hands gathering terrifying power, and she punched.
"Wait, Fairy Qiushui!" Gu Chenfeng shouted in panic.
At the moment Ling Qiushui was about to punch, Gu Chenfeng hurriedly pulled out a jade bottle to shield himself.
"This is... Ice Attribute!" Ling Qiushui suddenly halted, her beautiful eyes fixed on the jade bottle, sensing a pure and powerful Ice Attribute aura.
"Earth Core Snow Lotus Liquid!" Shangguan Yanran’s exclaimed voice came.
"Earth Core Snow Lotus Liquid?" Ling Qiushui looked at Shangguan Yanran in shock and asked, "Yanran, do you know what treasure this is?"
"Indeed!" Shangguan Yanran exclaimed with extreme astonishment, "Qiushui, the Earth Core Snow Lotus Liquid is an extremely rare Ice Attribute Spiritual Liquid, containing vast and pure Ice Attribute Power."
"It is a priceless treasure for Nascent Soul, Soul Emergence, and even Divinity Transformation Stage cultivation. I’ve only heard of it before."
