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

Chapter 133 Breakthrough to Eighth-Rank Alchemist”My name is Gu He, and I will take you home.”

As soon as Gu He spoke, Zi Yan tilted her head. ”Do you know where my home is?”

Without a word, Gu He took out a leather map. He had plenty of maps of the Central Plains.

Gu He unfolded the map, which displayed the various regions of the Fighting Qi Continent in an orderly fashion. Gu He pointed directly at Dragon Island. ”Your home is here, above the Void Realm of Dragon Island.”

He did not know the more specific location, but having a general direction was enough.

”I can take you home, but the process might be a bit complicated. Can you accept that? However... Sister Yun and I will also protect you.” Looking at Zi Yan’s loli-like appearance, Gu He couldn’t bear to say anything harsh.

Zi Yan nodded, looking very well-behaved. She blinked her eyes, carrying a trace of clear innocence: ”Then can I start eating?”

Yun Yun, Qing Lin, and the others were all stunned: Start eating? Eat what?

Gu He also looked at Zi Yan. Zi Yan stared expectantly and squeezed out a sentence, ”Aren’t you my long-term meal ticket? Don’t you need to feed me?”

Gu He was both annoyed and amused. How did he become this girl’s long-term meal ticket? A temporary guardian for a century-old child?

Gu He didn’t say anything and directly took out his storage ring specifically for storing ordinary herbs. At the same time, he pulled up the System interface and bound Zi Yan—after all, he had to collect some small interest, right?

[Congratulations host, strategy target Zi Yan bound successfully!] [Character information updated!] [Target: Zi Yan] [Beauty Grade: Nation-Toppling Beauty] [Cultivation: Five-Star Dou Zong] [Please enjoy the strategy, host~!]

The System prompt was fast and pleasant. ”Sigh.” Gu He muttered, his voice like flowing water passing through fingertips, ”You found the right person. If you had tried to latch onto anyone else, they wouldn’t be as wealthy as me.”

Zi Yan eagerly took the antique storage ring, her eyebrows dancing with joy. ”I knew you had everything!”

Afterwards, Zi Yan consciously went to the stone table, sat down, emptied all the herbs from the storage ring, and began to feast.

It must be said that with Zi Yan’s appetite, like a gold-swallowing beast, it was not something an ordinary family could afford to raise.

Medusa looked at Zi Yan, who was ”eating herbs in big mouthfuls,” and felt an inexplicable sense of closeness. After all, both of them came from ancient Bloodline origins. The Ancient Void Dragon Clan occupied a dominant position in the Demonic Beast world, and their Bloodline could resonate with other Demonic Beasts. As a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, Medusa’s strength was equivalent to that of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, so there was an indescribable sense of intimacy between the two. This was also one of the reasons why Zi Yan, besides meeting Gu He, let down all her guard.

Medusa approached Zi Yan and sat on the side watching her eat, inexplicably looking a bit like an older sister watching a younger sister, or a mother taking care of her daughter.

”Ugh~!” Zi Yan let out a hiccup while eating, a happy and satisfied smile appearing on the corner of her mouth. ”It’s been so long since I’ve had such a full meal!”

[Ding! Target Zi Yan’s favorability towards the host has increased by 25%. Reward obtained: ”Soul Skill · Ten Thousand Buddhas Worshiping the Ancestor”!] [Soul Skill · Ten Thousand Buddhas Worshiping the Ancestor: A special skill for cultivating the Soul from an ancient plane that has been lost. It can strengthen Soul Power and better improve the user’s Soul Realm.] [strategy target Zi Yan’s favorability is now: 25%]

Soul Skill? Gu He was a bit confused, thinking he had arrived in a certain Douluo world. After all, the self-created Soul skills of a certain Douluo were very famous, from the Golden Dao to the derivative works like the Sharingan. He shook his head, sweeping away the chaotic thoughts.

After Zi Yan finished her ”meal,” Medusa, like Sister Yun Yun, coaxed her and gave her a bath. Of course, Gu He also spent some time explaining Medusa’s existence to avoid the two women starting a Shura field between them.

After Zi Yan was washed clean, she looked brand new. Xiao Yi Xian took out a set of her old clothes and gave them to Zi Yan. The purple clothes and short skirt looked quite playful on Zi Yan, and Qing Lin skillfully tied two big ponytails for her.

After tidying up, Yun Yun and Medusa took Zi Yan out to play on the street. Originally, there were still sparks between Yun Yun and Medusa, but they were extinguished by Zi Yan’s mischief. Zi Yan wanted to eat this and that, and because she was picked up by Yun Yun earlier and felt the closeness of Medusa’s Bloodline, Zi Yan restrained her big temper and could only pull on the two’s skirts, acting cutely.

... The three went out to play. They all had a certain level of strength, and Gu He was relieved after giving instructions. After telling Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin to stay in the residence and Cultivate properly, Gu He stepped into the Void Realm, kicked off into the sky, and then flew towards the nearest mountain peak.

After absorbing the Nine Yang Profound True Fire given by the System, he felt improvements in many aspects. Now, after easily fighting the people from Ice River Valley, he felt that his cultivation had loosened. Therefore, he decided to find a remote cave to Cultivate and improve his cultivation without attracting attention, and by the way, see how powerful the Soul Skill given by the System was.

... Half a month later, in a tidy cave. Gu He sat cross-legged upright on the stone slab, the sweat on his forehead drying and reappearing over and over again.

”Hoo~” After the last cycle was completed, Gu He seized this rare spark of cultivation inspiration. ”Boom!” A soft explosion sounded, and Gu He’s cultivation had a Breakthrough!

Over the past half month, he had been cultivating day and night with great focus, diligently reaching the Nine-Star Dou Zong, and at this moment, he finally had a Breakthrough to Dou Zun! One-Star Dou Zun!

After the cultivation Breakthrough, Gu He felt as if he had been reborn. His body was filled with powerful strength, which was vastly different from when he was at the Dou Zong cultivation. His state of mind also became calmer and more profound, as if he could see through everything.

”Eh?” Gu He was slightly stunned. His state of mind seemed to have loosened.

After casting a secret technique to clean his body, Gu He resumed cultivation, but this time he was not cultivating his core Cultivation Technique, Myriad Fire Art, but the Ten Thousand Buddhas Worshiping the Ancestor Soul Skill. The Soul Skill was very profound, and Gu He felt a brand new, never-before-experienced sensation. As the heat source gathered at the Soul, it flickered like a small ball of heat.

Not long after. ”Crack—” Gu He’s Soul Realm had a Breakthrough! He reached the Spirit Realm!

Before, he had only broken through partial stages of the Mortal Realm, but now he had finally reached the Spirit Realm, having the qualifications to charge towards being a Grade 8 Alchemist.

”Too difficult...” Gu He opened his eyes and let out a deep breath of turbid air. His Soul Power had reached the level of the Spirit Realm, which meant that at this moment, he could endow a Medicinal Pill with a certain spirituality, which meant letting the Medicinal Pill possess its own consciousness. And this was the threshold for a Grade 8 Alchemist! Eighth Grade Pills usually possessed extraordinary spirituality, and it was precisely because of this spirituality that they could reach the level of the Eighth Grade. Ordinary Alchemists, no matter how excellent their alchemy skills were, if they could not endow the Medicinal Pill with spirituality, then these Medicinal Pills could never reach the level of the Eighth Grade... And at this very moment, Gu He possessed the ability to endow the Medicinal Pill with this touch of spirituality. In other words, he had successfully reached the rank of Grade 8 Alchemist!!
