Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 421 - 411 Golden Linglong

"Extremely precious?" Chu Hao asked.

"Precious beyond compare!" Gu Qingcheng seemed a bit envious, "For martial artists of the Middle Three Realms, this might be the best Spiritual Medicine there is, capable of nourishing the Life Spring, accelerating the opening pace, and even hoping to break through to realms like Nine Springs, Ten Springs."

"Moreover, naturally occurring Spiritual Medicine also has the effect of nourishing the spirit, so there’s no need to worry about the spirit being unable to control a realm that grows too quickly."

Chu Hao nodded and said, "That really is a good thing then."

"Qi Luck is such a mysterious thing!" Fu Xue said. Although this cave could not be considered a maze, it did have many branches, but by chance, they found this place. Moreover, they were not the first group to enter the cave, but now they could follow behind and arrive first—that was Qi Luck.

——Ordinary people call it luck, but in the eyes of the strong, this is known as Qi Luck, unconsciously influencing the destiny of a martial artist.

"Has it matured yet?" Chu Hao asked. This was the key point.

"Not quite yet." Gu Qingcheng looked for a while and shook her head, "After the Golden Linglong bears fruit, the maturation period is only a brief three months. The fruit changes from its initial silver to fully gold, but right now it’s still missing a slight bit. The maturation period should be within these two or three days."

"Moreover, once the Golden Linglong fruit ripens, it falls from the stem, and it won’t hang on the branch for more than ten breaths. Once it hits the ground, it dissolves."

"Hehe, then we really are lucky!" Fu Xue laughed.

Chu Hao was amazed—this was indeed luck. If they had arrived earlier, they could only wait here, wasting time, and if they were later... the fruit would have already ripened and fallen to turn into the earth.

He had never believed in luck, only in making one’s own fortune, but to say that their first encounter with this Golden Linglong was not due to a strong stroke of luck—who would believe that?

"Let’s wait." They spread a blanket on the ground and sat down. Chu Hao also dared not release too much Power of Flame because the Golden Linglong was only suited to grow in the gloomy and bitterly cold caves. If he affected the Golden Linglong, it was a small matter to harvest the fruit a few days later, but what if it caused the precious fruit to "miscarry"? The loss would be great then.

After waiting for a while, they heard faint footsteps coming from ahead.

The four of them immediately looked toward the corner. A few breaths later, a slender figure appeared.

This was a woman with the grace of a fairy, her black hair flowing like a waterfall, her pretty face like a blossoming flower, and her figure enchantingly beautiful. She was dressed in white, with bare feet, her jade-like delicate feet small and exquisite, with ten toenails faintly pink, like a piece of fine jade artifact.

She was... one of the ten who lasted until the end at the high platform before, known to all as the Green Lotus Fairy—indeed, she had some of the fairy’s poise. It was said that she came from the Water State, but which family she belonged to was unknown, yet it must be one of the ancient families because she could utilize Elemental Transformation.

The once-in-a-century Heaven Talented Assembly had made many ancient family prodigies restless, all swarming here.

However, another person blessed with Qi Luck had come here, which proved the saying about Qi Luck was indeed true.

"Brother Chu!" the Green Lotus Fairy said with a smile, "I didn’t expect you to arrive a step ahead of Lianyi."

"Yet I do not know the fairy’s esteemed name," Chu Hao said.

"From the Yang Family of Water State, Yang Lianyi," the Green Lotus Fairy replied with a slight smile, seemingly quite interested in Chu Hao.

"Flat-chested girl, do you wish to compete with us for the Golden Linglong?" Seeing this woman daring to harbor "ulterior motives" towards Chu Hao, Gu Qingcheng immediately displayed her strong combat power and asked the newcomer aggressively.

If the other party was interested in the Golden Linglong—and it was quite obvious they were—then the two parties could not possibly be friends.

Strike the snake at its vital point—Demoness Gu’s emotional and intellectual intelligence was both of a supreme grade.

Yang Lianyi’s pretty face changed slightly. Flat, flat-chested? To be fair, her chest size wasn’t large, but it certainly didn’t qualify as flat-chested; it was a perfect handful size, just much smaller than Gu Qingcheng’s.

If it were anyone else, she would have been indifferent because with her fairy-like grace and unparalleled beauty, she would just consider it envy. However, Gu Qingcheng truly lived up to her reputation for beauty, making her feel ashamed of herself, so the attack from that comment "flat-chested girl" was significant.

She frowned and said, "Sister, since we’ve met by chance, why the need to hurt with words?"

"I am merely stating a fact. Aren’t you flat-chested?" Gu Qingcheng deliberately stared at the other’s chest.

You’re saying it again!

Yang Lianyi trembled lightly. After a moment, she said, "You must be Gu Qingcheng from Wood State, I heard you’ve recently been traveling the world, recruiting talent from various Great Sects, getting quite close to them."

These words were not kind, but a reminder to Chu Hao: this woman by your side has been mingling with quite a few men lately, who knows if she’s done something overly intimate.

"Hehe, are you trying to drive a wedge between us?" Gu Qingcheng responded with a coquettish laugh, "The men Gu Qingcheng likes, if they don’t have that basic trust, then truly I have eyes but failed to see!"

Chu Hao couldn’t help but feel a wave of repulsion; this Demoness was going to extreme lengths to attack her opponent, even using the phrase "the men Gu Qingcheng likes." Her shamelessness knew no bounds.

But her words were remarkably effective, leaving Yang Lianyi speechless. She was indeed interested in Chu Hao, and in the Three-eyed Demon Pattern Body—he was the kind of person she wanted to get in touch with. As a Heaven Talented woman from one of the families, she was also extremely strict in choosing a partner, and ordinary geniuses didn’t catch her eye at all.

But Gu Qingcheng had made it clear that Chu Hao was her pick. If Yang Lianyi still tried to compete, it would be unfortunately inappropriate, and as a noblewoman from an ancient family, she could not be seen shamelessly fighting over a man.

"Miss Gu, do you dare to fight?" Yang Lianyi challenged Gu Qingcheng, truly wanting to beat up this woman.

"Sure!" Gu Qingcheng readily agreed.

This even surprised Chu Hao because while Flying Fire acted cute and Fat Cat was cheeky, it was her role to flirt, which was in line with the natural order. But now, she was actually stepping up to fight—could it be that the sun was going to rise from the west?

"I’ll go easy on you!" Yang Lianyi said with a smile, exuding the grace of a fairy.

"Hao, you go!" Gu Qingcheng said to Chu Hao.

"Huh?" Chu Hao was taken aback.

"You’re my man, aren’t you going to stand up for your woman when she’s being bullied?" Gu Qingcheng said unabashedly.

Come on, don’t talk nonsense; who’s your man?

Chu Hao rolled his eyes, but if he denied it at this moment, how would Gu Qingcheng feel? Compared to Gu Qingcheng and Yang Lianyi, his choice was naturally a no-brainer; he would, of course, help Gu Qingcheng.

Yang Lianyi did not expect Gu Qingcheng to be so "shameless," but it seemed that she wasn’t wrong either. Spouses should act as one. What’s wrong with sending her man to fight on her behalf?

"Go ahead, but remember to be gentle; she’s just a girl after all!" Gu Qingcheng patted Chu Hao on the shoulder.

Yang Lianyi’s face darkened as she said, "Miss Gu, don’t you think this is a bit much?"

"Where’s the excess?" Gu Qingcheng widened her seductive eyes, looking completely innocent.

Yang Lianyi was left speechless with indignation. Although she always presented herself with the calm composure of a fairy, unaffected and graceful, she could easily be provoked to anger by Gu Qingcheng. She looked at Chu Hao and said, "Brother Chu, are you really going to fight Lianyi?"

"Since there’s only one treasure, it naturally goes to the strongest!" Chu Hao said calmly.

Yang Lianyi couldn’t hide her disappointment. Clearly, she held no place in Chu Hao’s eyes, or else he would never have said such heartless words. She put away her smile and said, "It seems this battle is inevitable, Lianyi also needs those Golden Linglongs."

"Enough talk, let’s fight!" The Barbaric Girl couldn’t hold back any longer and charged forward.

As soon as she moved, she unleashed the Dragon Fist, and her hands underwent Dragon Transformation, demonstrating the importance she placed on facing Yang Lianyi.

——This girl’s combat experience was extremely rich, she knew her opponent was not easy to deal with.

With a light snort from Yang Lianyi, she flicked her right hand and a cold light flashed. She now wielded a long sword. With a twist of her body, she danced gracefully like a fairy, untouched by fire, yet her Sword Momentum was sharp beyond compare, and her Sword Qi swept across, shattering one icicle after another, which fell heavily to the ground.

The Barbaric Girl was not scared in the least; as an Innate Body Cultivator, she did not fear anyone in the same Realm, and only those with powerful constitutions like Chu Hao’s Green Flame or Xiaocao’s deadly poison could pose a threat to her.

Yang Lianyi’s strength shone through, and since she had a Water Attribute constitution, her Combat Power was not only unaffected in this icy and snowy environment, but it even saw a significant increase.

"What tier is that woman?" Gu Qingcheng asked Chu Hao.

"Tenth Tier!" Chu Hao answered. "She probably hasn’t merged with the Ten Springs yet, but it’s only a matter of time."

This generation of talents was like a fountain erupting. What once took thousands of years to see a single Great Perfection now appeared in each state—the martial arts world was truly entering a golden era.

"Yunyun won’t lose, will she?" Gu Qingcheng was somewhat worried.

Chu Hao chuckled and said, "Then why do you keep provoking her?"

"Pfft, how can I be polite with someone competing with me for my man?" Gu Qingcheng snorted.

Chu Hao’s heart stirred. "Don’t talk nonsense; when did I become your man? I definitely won’t take responsibility for things I haven’t done!"

"You scoundrel, don’t forget that I’ve personally flicked your little ding-ding!" Gu Qingcheng said wickedly.

"Hey, how can you say such a thing?" She wasn’t embarrassed, but Chu Hao’s face turned red.

"I like you, that’s a fact. What’s there to be shy about?" Gu Qingcheng declared.

Chu Hao was astonished; he had always thought of Gu Qingcheng as a deadly and unrepentant demoness. He did not expect her to be so bold in love, passionately fiery once her heart was set.

Such passion could melt the heart of any man!

"What? Are you moved by my heartfelt confession? Then hurry up and say you love me. Although I am beautiful and adored by all, I wouldn’t mind a bit more flattery," Gu Qingcheng said vainly.

Chu Hao sighed. "Then I guess you’ll have to wait for your next life." His personality ensured he would never say such cheesy words. (To be continued.
