Chapter 1021: Chapter 1021: The Gu Parasite Enters the Body

The flying shuttle landed within the bounds of Mount Qingcheng, and everyone went back to their respective sects to report to their masters.

The first thing a traveler does upon returning from a long journey, of course, is to let it be known they are safe.

In terms of emotional warmth, Mount Qingcheng far surpassed the other three Daoist holy lands; however, Su Chengyu was clearly unaware of this.

"Disciple, Lin Chuxue and your apprentice are in that annex over there."

Master Cangqing personally escorted Su Chengyu to his destination before stopping the flying shuttle.

After thanking his master, Su Chengyu could not contain his emotions any longer and briskly walked towards the annex.

As soon as he entered, he saw Yu Yanshu cultivating; she was inwardly focused, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy like a whale, immersed in a remarkable state.

It was somewhat similar to the Realm of Selflessness Su Chengyu had experienced, but there were some differences. Yu Yanshu, in such a state, didn’t even notice Su Chengyu’s arrival.

With a brief investigation, Su Chengyu immediately knew the realm Yu Yanshu had reached, the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

He couldn’t help but be surprised at how quickly Yu Yanshu had grown in just half a year’s time.

Subconsciously, Su Chengyu turned his head to look at Master Cangqing, who then shook his head and said,

"This is all the result of your disciple’s own cultivation, with no help from elixirs. To be honest, even I am a bit troubled. Given her progress, the Tribulation of Mystical Profundity is not far off."

Born with the Primordial Eye and envied by the heavens, even the Foundation Establishment Tribulation was a matter of life and death, let alone the far more perilous Tribulation of Mystical Profundity.

"We will take it one step at a time; what is meant to come will always come."

Su Chengyu now felt more at ease, thinking that if worst came to worst, he would give Yu Yanshu the True Dragon Armor and the Heaven-Mending Stone to aid her tribulation.

Such assistance during tribulation might bring endless trouble to a cultivator, but he did not believe the Tribulation of Mystical Profundity could break through the dual protections of the True Dragon Armor and the Heaven-Mending Stone.

"ChengYu? Is that you?"

Within the annex, accompanied by a long-lost voice, Lin Chuxue, clad in a white robe, suddenly appeared before Su Chengyu.

Master Cangqing looked at this scene, smiled faintly, then vanished from the annex.

Seeing her beauty again, Lin Chuxue’s appearance had not changed, but her gaze now held depths that clearly showed she too had experienced much.

A thousand words welled up in Su Chengyu’s heart, but when it came to his lips, only one statement remained.

"Yes, it’s me. Chu Xue, I’m back."

Hearing this all too familiar voice, Lin Chuxue could no longer restrain her emotions and rushed to tightly embrace Su Chengyu.

"You’re finally back. I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime... I thought... I..."

The more Lin Chuxue spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and her speech eventually gave way to silent sobs.

Su Chengyu knew Lin Chuxue had suffered a great deal and tenderly stroked her hair, saying gently,

"It’s alright, haven’t I returned? Don’t worry, I won’t lose you again, absolutely not."

Listening to Su Chengyu’s response, Lin Chuxue hugged him even tighter, as if letting go would cause him to disappear.

Su Chengyu didn’t say anything more and just held Lin Chuxue, knowing that at this moment no words could compare to his presence by her side.

After a long while, Lin Chuxue seemed to have stabilized her emotions and slowly released Su Chengyu, her face also showing a touch of shyness as she realized her behavior had been somewhat overly girlish.

Su Chengyu just smiled, stroked her hair and softly added, "Sorry, I was so late in taking you back."

Lin Chuxue shook her head, "When I was taken away by that Demon Man of Witchcraft Gate, I was prepared to die. To be able to return alive was more than I dared hope for."

Hearing this, Su Chengyu’s brows immediately furrowed, and he asked with concern, "The Witchcraft Gate didn’t harm you, did they?"

Lin Chuxue shook her head, "Master Cangqing arrived just in time. Although they planted a Gu seed in me, it hadn’t hatched before I was rescued."

"They planted a Gu seed?"

Su Chengyu’s expression became instantly tense.

Seeing his concern, Lin Chuxue felt touched and explained, "It’s alright, Master Cangqing has already checked me. The Gu seed is merely planted and shows no signs of hatching. Furthermore, Master Cangqing taught me a secret technique that uses the Gu seed as a conduit, connecting my dantian with the heavens and earth, to aid my cultivation."

"Won’t there be any risks?"

Su Chengyu, having encountered Witchcraft Gate several times, knew all too well how dangerous their methods could be, and naturally, he did not dare to take it lightly.

"Don’t worry, Master Cangqing also said that my physique is special, not only do I have an Innate Spirit Body, but I’m also naturally suited for harboring Gu. As long as I cultivate properly and completely take control of the Gu seed within me, it will only benefit and not harm me."

Hearing Lin Chuxue say this, Su Chengyu finally took a breath of relief.

Though he worried about Lin Chuxue acting recklessly, since Master Cangqing, an Earth Immortal, had said so, he could completely put his mind at ease.

"Even so, it’s always wise to be cautious when cultivating Gu techniques."

"Rest assured, I have a clear understanding of it, and I also don’t want to be the one who always holds you back."

Su Chengyu felt a warmth in his heart and couldn’t help but hug Lin Chuxue’s waist once more.

Lin Chuxue, immediately understanding what Su Chengyu was thinking, blushed but didn’t resist at all.

A short separation is better than a new marriage, and Lin Chuxue’s heart was also bursting with passion.

However, just as Su Chengyu was about to seize the fragrant moment, an awkward voice rang out from behind.

"Master? Mistress?"

Su Chengyu, as if facing a great enemy, instantly withdrew his hand and turned around with an embarrassed look to Yu Yanshu, "Yan’er? Have you finished your cultivation?"

Yu Yanshu’s eyes rolled around, and she hesitated before speaking, "Should I... go back to cultivating?"

"Ahem, no need for that. It’s been a while since we last saw each other, and it’s just the right time for your master to ask about your cultivation progress," Su Chengyu replied.

Although Su Chengyu had indeed been stirred by Lin Chuxue, now that Yu Yanshu had awakened, he had to force down those flames of desire.

It wasn’t feasible to actually send Yu Yanshu away; if he did so, he worried about how badly his lofty image in her heart might crumble.

Seeing Su Chengyu’s predicament, Lin Chuxue secretly laughed to herself, and whispered in Su Chengyu’s ear, "I’ll wait for you tonight."

After saying that, Lin Chuxue walked back into the courtyard first, completely disregarding how tormented her words left Su Chengyu at the moment.

Such a mischievous girl, she’s learned to play tricks after just a few days apart.

Forcefully pushing aside the distractions in his mind, Su Chengyu approached Yu Yanshu to inquire about her cultivation progress.

Yu Yanshu responded honestly that, after her Foundation Establishment, her cultivation had been exceedingly smooth, advancing to the ninth level as if there had been no bottlenecks whatsoever.

Listening to this, Su Chengyu couldn’t help but feel a touch of jealousy. Wasn’t her talent a bit too incredible?

He himself had consumed countless elixirs and suffered greatly to reach the Golden Core Realm, whereas this girl’s cultivation seemed as easy as drinking water.

"It’s just, Master, there’s been something bothering me during my recent cultivation practices," said Yu Yanshu.

"What is it?"

Su Chengyu immediately asked with a serious tone, knowing any issue that concerned Yu Yanshu was no small matter.

"The mana in my body isn’t gathering in my dantian as you said, Master. Instead, it’s all accumulating above my eyes," she revealed.
