Doupo: Rebirth of Gu He, Starting with a Strategy to Win Over Yun Yun

Chapter 21 Little Fairy Doctor: I Want to Pass the Second-Rank Alchemist Exam and Bring Glory to My MasterChapter 21 Xiao Yi Xian: I want to take the Second-Grade Alchemist exam to bring honor to Master!

A few days later at the Cloud Mist Sect, in the early morning.

Sunlight spilled through the gaps in the window into Yun Yun’s bedroom.

On the bed were two people sleeping soundly in each other’s arms, and now they were awake.

Gu He squeezed Yun Yun’s fragrant shoulder, ”The sun is hitting your backside, aren’t you getting up yet...”

The deep male voice made Yun Yun’s ears turn red; she then put on her clothes and sat before the dressing table.

The quaint dressing table reflected Yun Yun’s face, adding a touch of classical beauty to her charm.

Gu He picked up a jade comb that was green all over and gently stroked it through her hair.

”Mmm~”

Her hair was as beautiful as clouds, and the cool fragrance of white flowers emanating from the strands was intoxicating.

”Last night was exhausting, it must have been hard on you...” Gu He spoke slowly.

Yun Yun’s voice carried the softness of just waking up, ”It was alright~”

”I didn’t know that little Medicinal Pill could have such an effect~”

Gu He helped her fix her hairstyle, inserted a white jade hairpin, and then put on the hair ornaments.

”Clink~” The sound of the accessories clashing was crisp and pleasant, just like the pearls falling on a jade plate last night.

Yun Yun’s sparkling eyes rippled with emotion as she looked at Gu He through the mirror, captivated by his mature yet gentle aura.

”Yun Yun.” After finishing her hair, Gu He suddenly placed his hands gently on her fragrant shoulders and called her name.

”Hmm? What’s wrong?” Yun Yun realized he had something to say.

”I want to go out and look for Heavenly Flame.” Gu He’s voice was incredibly firm.

Yun Yun was startled and turned to look at him.

”Heavenly Flame?”

A Heavenly Flame represented a destructive force, and in this world where Dou Qi was supreme, no one didn’t want to possess such power...

”Yes, you know I’m obsessed with Alchemy. Although my current Azure Sea Flame can meet my needs for refining ordinary Medicinal Pills, it isn’t a Heavenly Flame after all...”

”There is a huge difference between Beast Fire and Heavenly Flame. From beginning to end, I have wanted to possess my own Heavenly Flame.”

Yun Yun looked at Gu He’s resolute eyes, her heart fluttering slightly,

”I... will go with you.”

Gu He shook his head, ”I’m only looking for clues about Heavenly Flame right now, I haven’t actually found it yet. Yun Yun, you are the Sect Master; it’s safer for you to stay and manage the sect’s affairs.”

Yun Yun pursed her lips like a little woman and didn’t speak, but her eyes held a hint of resentment.

He just came back for a few days and already wants to leave. Is finding a Heavenly Flame more important than me?

Once he gets it, he doesn’t cherish it!

But such petulant thoughts only occupied a small part of her mind; what she truly cared about was Gu He’s safety.

”But you are only a seven-star Dou Wang...” Yun Yun said worriedly.

Gu He smiled, ”I am already an eight-star Dou Wang.”

Yun Yun’s beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

”I previously prepared a Dou Ling Pill for myself. As long as I consume it, I can advance to a nine-star Dou Wang and begin to break through to Dou Huang,” he said slowly.

”I, Gu He, have the strength to protect myself!”

Yun Yun pondered for a few seconds, accidentally glimpsed the gray hairband on Gu He’s head, froze for a moment, and then smiled brightly,

”Then go ahead.”

Yun Yun then thought of something else,

”The Dou Wangs and Dou Lings of the Jia Ma Empire already defer to you. Once you advance to Dou Huang or obtain a Heavenly Flame, they will have to beg you on their knees for Alchemy.”

Gu He shook his head indifferently.

His gaze was not limited to the small Jia Ma Empire.

...

After Gu He took the spirit breaking pill and advanced to a nine-star Dou Wang, he returned to his residence in the Imperial Capital to continue guiding Xiao Yi Xian.

As soon as he entered the door.

”Teacher! Is it you!”

Gu He exerted force in his arm to catch the little yellow-clothed rabbit that flew at him, then rubbed her head vigorously, messing up her hair.

”So reckless! Did you Cultivate properly while I was away?” Gu He scolded first, then asked gently.

Xiao Yi Xian clearly enjoyed this ”stick and carrot” approach.

”I did, I did!”

”I worked very hard every day you were gone!” Xiao Yi Xian’s voice was sweet, as if it contained sugar.

”I have already mastered the Poison Devouring Art!”

”I can now suppress the danger of the Calamity Poison Body! Um... mainly, when I eat poison, the poison gas won’t erupt and harm me, but it can still increase my cultivation!”

Gu He was puzzled, ”How do you know so clearly?”

Xiao Yi Xian’s delicate little hand scratched Gu He’s palm, ”Hehe...”

Gu He frowned, ”You didn’t experiment on yourself, did you?”

”How much poison did you eat?”

Seeing she couldn’t hide it from Gu He, Xiao Yi Xian lowered her head and said pitifully,

”Just a little bit~”

After saying that, she added with a hint of seeking praise,

”I am now a five-star Dou Practitioner, Teacher!”

Gu He sighed, feeling both surprised by Xiao Yi Xian’s talent and that her reckless attempts were a bit impulsive.

”Teacher~” Xiao Yi Xian tugged at Gu He’s sleeve coquettishly,

”What are we learning today?”

”Is it Alchemy?”

Xiao Yi Xian’s eyes were sparkling, like sunlight spilling onto a lake, reflecting shimmering waves.

Gu He’s heart moved slightly, ”Yes, it’s Alchemy.”

After the two arrived at the pill room, Xiao Yi Xian excitedly began to demonstrate her practice results from these days.

She poured Dou Qi into the Medicine Cauldron, and in moments, a flame as solid as substance ignited within.

Xiao Yi Xian threw the required medicinal ingredients into the Medicine Cauldron one by one, controlling the flame to extract the medicinal properties at different temperatures.

The flames inside continued to tumble and burn.

After some time.

The bumpy surface of the pill was also repaired to be round and smooth. A faint medicinal fragrance spread out.

”Teacher, I succeeded on the first try!” Xiao Yi Xian said excitedly.

She threw herself into Gu He’s arms, her ethereal cat-like eyes looking at him.

As if saying, she’s amazing, right? Hurry up and praise her!

Gu He rubbed her head, unable to deny her talent for Alchemy.

He said with a hint of doting,

”In a few days, you can go to the Alchemist Guild to take the exam for a First-Grade Alchemist.”

Xiao Yi Xian pouted, ”I want to be more powerful before I go, and then I’ll bring back a Second-Grade Alchemist Rank all at once!”

”I’m going to make their jaws drop!”

Then, she curiously asked Gu He, ”There shouldn’t be anyone who takes two Ranks at once, right?”

Gu He wondered why Xiao Yi Xian had such a thought, but he answered anyway,

”If you are early enough, then there probably isn’t.”

If Xiao Yi Xian took the Second-Grade Alchemist exam before Xiao Yan, then the spotlight of a young talent jumping Ranks wouldn’t be his.

Xiao Yi Xian was stunned for a moment, ”So is there someone with even better talent than me? Is it Teacher’s eldest Disciple?”

Gu He then realized Xiao Yi Xian had misunderstood; she thought he was paying attention to other Alchemy students.

”My eldest Disciple, your senior brother, is named Liu Ling. He is already a Fourth-Grade Alchemist.”

”However, your talent is even greater than his,” Gu He said with certainty.

A trace of melancholy flashed through Xiao Yi Xian’s eyes, but she quickly became determined,

”Since Teacher thinks I am excellent, then I must be excellent!”

”I’m going to start trying Second-Grade Medicinal Pills!”

Gu He was helpless and realized,

So this girl wanted to make him look good.

No wonder she wanted to directly take the Second-Grade Alchemist exam.

Silly girl!
