"As for his other virtue... He would set aside all his arrogance for anyone who is more powerful than him and hold that person in the highest esteem. He had previously treated you in that arrogant manner simply because you had only been a gifted genius and not a cultivator that he could look up to. Now that you've successfully refined a pill, it would be logical that he would want to acknowledge you as his Master!"
Zuo Shangchen smiled, "Of course, he does have selfish motives for making you his Master. His selfish motives are for Wind Valley's sake! It goes without saying this Elder Feng is indeed extremely loyal to Wind Valley. He knows that it's useless to be too forceful with you at this moment so he had decided to humble himself. If you do take him as your disciple, I anticipate that you would not be able to sit idly by should Wind Valley encounter any dangers."
That is Elder Feng's one and only selfish motive!
Gu Ruoyun chuckled softly before she replied with a clear and cold gaze, "I have no interest in him nor do I have any intentions of taking him as my disciple. However, do tell me the situation in WInd Valley. You can start with the Fire Spirit Beasts for example!"
This was the information that the little Vermillion Bird wanted to find out.
After all, she has just taken in a little brother but this little brother's clan had been imprisoned by Wind Valley. As the older sister, she would naturally want to avenge her little brother! Besides, Gu Ruoyun has a feeling that once she enters First City, she would certainly encounter members from Wind Valley.
Since that was the case, it would be best for her to know more about Wind Valley.
"The Valley Lord of Wind Valley is truly a powerful cultivator and his strength is not only confined to the aspect of power but in many other aspects as well, " Zuo Shangchen may not have a favorable impression of Wind Valley, he could not help but admire the Valley Lord of Wind Valley's power. "However, Wind Valley is barren of male successors. The Valley Lord has only one son and one daughter. The Young Master of Wind Valley had exceptionally impressive natural talent and is also the true Young Valley Lord of Wind Valley. However, a powerful unnamed cultivator had plotted against him and crippled him of his powers! Even his life had been on the brink of imminent peril. In order to save him, the Valley Lord of Wind Valley had given everything he had which resulted in the regression of his own powers as well."
Gu Ruoyun did not say a thing as she listened to Zuo Shangchen's account with utmost seriousness. Her clear and cold pupils were like the still waters of an ancient well, no one could tell what she was thinking.
"During that period of time, Wind Valley was in turmoil. It was also at that moment that Feng Xiaoxiao had stepped out and single-handedly pacified the chaos in Wind Valley. She was also able to show her abilities to the Valley Lord and gained the position of Young Valley Lord. Now, the world is under the impression that it was Feng Xiaoxiao's outstanding talent which had allowed her to usurp her brother's position. However, they aren't aware of the fact that the Young Master of Wind Valley had been crippled of his powers and no longer has the ability to assume the position of Young Valley Lord."
Gu Ruoyun fell silent for a moment before she raised her head to look at Zuo Shangchen, "The fact that the Young Master of Wind Valley is actually a good-for-nothing must be a secret in First City. How did you find out about this?"
Zuo Shangchen smiled, "Xiao Yun'er, have you forgotten the Dark Yin Palace's role in West Spirit Mainland? There's nothing in this world that can escape my knowledge! Besides, there's one more thing you should know, Feng Xiaoxiao and the Young Master of Wind Valley have the same father but have different mothers!"
Gu Ruoyun shook and stared at Zuo Shangchen in astonishment, "Why are you telling me this? Are you trying to imply that Feng Xiaoxiao had something to do with the Young Master of Wind Valley's crippled powers?"
"I am only making a guess," Zuo Shangchen shrugged his shoulders, "After all, Feng Xiaoxiao had the motive to do so..."

"Besides, during the time when the Valley Lord's wife had been unable to conceive, Feng Xiaoxiao's mother, who was a servant at that time, took advantage of the situation and devised a plot towards the Valley Lord. She then successfully became pregnant with Feng Xiaoxiao. However, the Valley Lord was deeply in love with his wife and had initially planned to execute the lowly servant. The Valley Lord's wife took pity on the child in her belly so they had decided to execute her after she had given birth to the child. Hence, Feng Xiaoxiao was born but to the outside world, it was the Valley Lord's wife who had given birth to Feng Xiaoxiao! Later on, the Valley Lord's wife's infertility was cured and the Young Master of Wind Valley was born."
Hearing this, Gu Ruoyun's gaze flickered as she slowly raised the corners of her lips, "It looks like Feng Xiaoxiao may not be what she seems."
However, Gu Ruoyun could not help but admire the fact that Feng Xiaoxiao was indeed very intelligent! She was far more intelligent than the other women she has met! If it had not been for Zuo Shangchen's words, she would never have guessed that Feng Xiaoxiao would have done such a thing for the sake of usurping the position of Young Valley Lord.
"Alright, I've said all that needs to be said," Zuo Shangchen mildly raised the corners of his lips and smiled. "If you're making the trip to the First City, don't forget to come and find me at the Dark Yin Palace. Also, once you've reached the rank of a Martial Saint, I'll tell you about the world beyond the Martial Saint rank!"
Zuo Shangchen glanced at Gu Ruoyun who had plunged into deep thought before he turned and walked out the door.
Just as he stepped out of the room, his impish features sank in a split second as a hint of anguish appeared in his peach blossom gaze.
"Young Master."
A gorgeous maidservant who had been waiting for him further up front walked towards him. She then joined her fists and bowed respectfully.
"Still no news of Gu Shengxiao?" Zuo Shangchen pursed his red lips. His eyes were filled with anxiety.
The gorgeous maidservant lowered her head, joined her fists and bowed in reply, "Reporting to Young Master according to the information gathered from members of Dark Yin Palace, we have not managed to find Sir Gu at all! Young Master, is it really true that we can't let Lady Gu find out about this at all?"
"Xiao Yun'er can't know about this matter at all," Zuo Shangchen shook his head, suppressing the anxiety he felt in his heart. He then steadied his breathing and continued, "If she ever finds out about Gu Shengxiao's disappearance, she would fly into madness! Besides, I still have no clue as to where Gu Shengxiao's whereabouts could be! It won't hurt for us to tell her after the Dark Yin Palace has made a thorough investigation! Xiao Yun'er needs to grow right now so I believe that Shengxiao would not be comfortable with causing his younger sister to worry."
Zuo Shangchen's heart would throb fiercely whenever he remembers the news which he had received from the West Spirit Mainland a few days ago. His hands would ball into tight fists by his side and his impish features would fill with a thick sense of bloodlust.
"Shengxiao, I will find you even if I have to journey to the end of the world! If I ever find out who's responsible for taking you away, I will give everything that I have to save you!"
Zuo Shangchen took a deep breath and the seductive charm in the space between his brows vanished and was replaced by a sense of determination!
He knows very well that even if Gu Ruoyun were to find out about Gu Shengxiao's disappearance, she would not be able to do anything about it! Instead, it would delay her pace! Coincidentally, this was not something that Gu Shengxiao would want to see!
Hence, Zuo Shangchen has to find his whereabouts alone!
"Send out an order that no one is to let Xiao Yun'er know about this. Anyone who violates this order will be killed!"
When he finished his last syllable, an austere aura exploded from him like the sharp blade of a sword, piercing through the skies.

The gorgeous maidservant shuddered before she hurriedly responded with extreme deference, "This subordinate shall honor your order!"
The woman's beautiful image then transformed into a ray of light and disappeared from Zuo Shangchen's eyes.
Zuo Shangchen turned to look at Gu Ruoyun's location before turning away again almost immediately. He murmured to himself, "Shengxiao, don't worry. I will take good care of Xiao Yun'er and I will find you as well..."
Gu Ruoyun had been completely unaware of this.
There was no way that she would find out about this at all.
Hence, once Zuo Shangchen has left, her gaze fell upon Bai Zhongtian once again. She gently raised her brow and asked, "Master, aren't you planning on consuming that pill?"
"Oh, I nearly forgot."
Bai Zhongtian suddenly remembered about the pill which Gu Ruoyun had given to him three days ago. He then swallowed it without another word.
Gu Ruoyun was dumbstruck when she saw his actions.
I had only reminded him so that he would not forget to take the pill but I didn't think that he would swallow it now!
After all, a Martial Supreme's breakthrough will create quite a powerful sensation. Without any preparation, this entire room might actually be blown to pieces.
Soon, Gu Ruoyun's prediction came true.
As soon as Bai Zhongtian had swallowed the pill, the power from within his body began to drain immediately. The entire guest room then exploded with a loud bang, exposing the both of them to the clear, bright sky.
Boom!
Boom, boom!
The sound of continuous explosions could be heard as an endless amount of power began to spread out freely, destroying all the trees in the vicinity!
The entire sky then turned dark and a powerful storm appeared above Bai Zhongtian's head. It almost looked like an enormous black hole had appeared and they would all be sucked into it...
"This... This is..."
Gao Lin, who had been discussing some matters with Lin Yang in the study, suddenly sensed the powerful storm. He immediately stood up and widened his eyes at the sight of the dark gray sky.
"This is the type of storm which will only appear during a Martial Saint's breakthrough! Could the Holy Doctor have had another breakthrough? How could this be? I remember that this old fellow had only just broken through to the rank of a high-level Martial Supreme not too long ago. He can't possibly rise to become a Martial Saint so quickly! No, this won't do. I must go and ask this fellow and find out what kind of luck he's run into!"
Whoosh!
Once Gao Lin finished speaking, he hurriedly rushed out the door. He did not even have the time to give Lin Yang an explanation as he flew towards the storm's direction.
The storm continued for quite a while before it gradually dissipated.
At this moment, countless elders and disciples have gathered at the courtyard where Bai Zhongtian was standing and were all staring at him in admiration.
After all, this was a Martial Saint!
It was an existence that they all looked up to!
No one thought that they would have the opportunity to witness the rare phenomenon of a Martial Saint's birth! They would have the right to boast about it now! After all, not everybody would have the chance to witness someone's Martial Saint breakthrough!
It took Bai Zhongtian some time to come out from his daze after the storm has completely disappeared. His elderly eyes stared foolishly at Gu Ruoyun as he asked dazedly, "Little girl, what is the meaning of this?"
I had only swallowed a pill, why did I have a breakthrough after that?
Could it be...
Bai Zhongtian thought of something and his entire body quivered!
Could it be that this pill has the ability to allow a high-level Martial Supreme to break through to the level of a Martial Saint immediately?
Heavens, this was an existence that defies the Heavens! A Martial Saint was exceptionally powerful yet this pill had the ability to cause a high-level Martial Supreme to breakthrough to the Martial Saint rank! If word of this were to get out, Wind Valley would definitely not let Gu Ruoyun slip away ever again.

"Haha, Bai Zhongtian, our powers had been on par in the past. I never thought I would actually end up lagging behind you but I must still congratulate you on your achievement."
An elderly figure had suddenly appeared out of thin air before Gao Lin's features then gradually came into view. He smiled as he stared at the old man who was standing on the ground as he spoke sincerely.
"Hehe," Bai Zhongtian slowly came to his senses and chuckled, "Luck, it's really just luck."
He would never admit the pill's effect in broad daylight. Otherwise, it would cause his precious disciple a lot of trouble!
"Luck?" Gao Lin laughed, "I certainly don't believe that luck has anything to do with a Martial Saint breakthrough. Also, Holy Doctor, are you aware that once you've broken through to the Martial Saint rank, cultivators from the First City will most definitely come and extend an invitation to you to enter the First City. You must make the necessary preparations."
Hearing this, Bai Zhongtian became silent. After a long pause, his elderly features then lit up with a smile.
"The First City? Hehe, I'm certainly interested in the First City. Besides, that is also the place where most cultivators have yearned for in their dreams. Only when one is there could one achieve even greater breakthroughs. If I could have that opportunity, what's wrong with going on an adventure?"
Bai Zhongtian's eyes were filled with self-admiration while his tone of voice was filled with pride. He believes that his precious disciple would step into that place soon. Since that was the case, as her Master, he has the responsibility to survey that place first.
Naturally, Gu Ruoyun was aware of what Bai Zhongtian was thinking. She smiled lightly and turned to face Gao Lin who was standing next to her, "Sect Master Gao, my arrival in the Medicine Sect has caused a disturbance during the past few days. I intend on leaving tomorrow, so..."
Gao Lin was shaken as he managed to detect the meaning behind Gu Ruoyun's words. He then laughed softly as he replied, "Gu girl, since you've successfully refined a pill, I, Gao Lin, shall honor my promise. The Northern Block Territory is now yours! However, I need to remind you about one thing. Even though the Northern Block Territory is a land that belongs to the Medicine Sect, there are a few powerful forces who refuse to admit to this fact. When that time comes, I'm afraid that you'll have to find a way to make them submit on your own. Of course, if you should require help in any aspect, the Medicine Sect will offer you our strongest support!"
"Your promise, Sect Master Gao, is enough," Gu Ruoyun nodded. "Shall we commence with the territory transition now?"
"Alright. Gu girl, come with me to the study."
Gao Lin smiled gently. Even though the Northern Block Territory had brought many great benefits to the Medicine Sect, they were nothing compared to pills.
Thus, even though he has given that territory away, he does not feel the pinch at all!
The territory transition happened very quickly. Gao Lin only needed to produce an agreement, signed his name and stamped his fingerprint on it before handing it to Gu Ruoyun. Upon receiving the agreement, Gu Ruoyun did not delay any longer and walked out immediately.
When the figure in green has left their sight, Gao Lin turned to Bai Zhongtian and asked, "Holy Doctor, we've been friends for so many years now so don't lie to me. You've only just had your high-level Martial Supreme breakthrough not too long ago. How were you able to become a Martial Saint so soon? Tell me what really happened!"
Bai Zhongtian chuckled, "A Martial Saint? I expect that you'll have your breakthrough soon enough."
"That's nonsense," Gao Ling frowned as he glanced at Bai Zhongtian.
Bai Zhongtian rolled his eyes when he heard this, "Didn't that precious disciple of mine give you a pill as well? Swallow it once you've attained the rank of a high-level Martial Supreme and you'll immediately reach the Martial Saint rank!"
