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

Chapter 186 Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, Six-Star Dou ShengAn old and hoarse voice sounded first: ”I offer three Eighth Grade Pills with six-colored Pill Lightning.”

”I offer four Eighth Grade Pills with six-colored Pill Lightning.”

”Five!”

Several voices rang out; the bidding was quite intense.

Gu He looked at Old Man Baoshan and said indifferently, ”One Eighth Grade Pill with eight-colored Pill Lightning.”

He had plenty of such pills; he had even given them to Zi Yan to play with earlier.

Gu He did not know how surprised the others were. At this moment, an uproar broke out, with many expressing shock that someone would be so generous for a map fragment!

And his tone was so casual; perhaps in this person’s eyes, an Eighth Grade Pill with eight-colored Pill Lightning was effortless to obtain?

A somewhat thin figure sitting cross-legged on a stone chair suddenly spoke:

”I offer three!”

Gu He glanced indifferently in that direction, seeing through the opponent’s strength with just one look.

Just a Half-Saint, yet daring to bid against him?

Gu He said, ”No need to continue bidding. I offer one Eighth Grade Pill with nine-colored Pill Lightning.”

The people present were in an uproar.

An Eighth Grade Pill with nine-colored Pill Lightning! This was an existence that could already transform into a small beast. This mysterious figure had actually skipped the bidding process with such a relaxed tone, suddenly raising the price of the map fragment to this stage.

Old Man Baoshan’s eyes lit up, ”Is there anyone with a higher bid?”

The thin figure hesitated several times. Now that Gu He had raised the bid to a premium stage, it had far exceeded his expectations, but he was determined to obtain this map fragment!

He said, ”I also offer one Eighth Grade Pill with nine-colored Pill Lightning!”

Old Man Baoshan smiled and stroked his beard, saying, ”Then I ask both of you to present your respective Eighth Grade Pills with nine-colored Pill Lightning. I will judge them, and the better one will be exchanged.”

The thin figure glared at Gu He with resentment, not believing he could produce a better pill than his own.

The thin Black Robed Man let out a low, weird laugh. With a wave of his palm, a snow-white little rabbit appeared in his hand.

As soon as the rabbit appeared, an extremely rich medicinal fragrance wafted out.

Once an Eighth Grade Pill with nine-colored Pill Lightning appeared, even a Half-Saint expert would be moved.

Old Man Baoshan took the little rabbit and then looked at Gu He. Gu He flicked his sleeve, and a Pixiu flashed out of thin air, running towards Old Man Baoshan.

A medicinal fragrance even richer than the thin figure’s white rabbit appeared, leaving the Dou Zun and Half-Saint experts present completely bewildered!

”This, this...!” Old Man Baoshan took the golden-orange little Pixiu, his eyes widening, his eyebrows raised high as he observed it carefully.

This Eighth Grade Pill with nine-colored Pill Lightning faintly showed signs of becoming a Ninth Grade Pill!

Old Man Baoshan couldn’t help but nod, his eyes showing a hint of pleasant surprise, ”My friend, this map fragment belongs to you...”

Old Man Baoshan flicked the map fragment to Gu He’s hand, then returned the white rabbit to the thin Black Robed Man.

The thin Black Robed figure stared in Gu He’s direction, as if wanting to spark a fire, then revealed a low, sinister laugh.

...

After the auction ended.

Gu He and Zi Yan prepared to leave. The two passed through a necessary mountain Peak and were blocked by three figures.

A lecherous voice sounded: ”Leave behind the map fragment of the Purification Lotus Demon Flame, and our Cloud Rain Sect will spare your lives!”

The Ninth Revolution Dou Zun Peak expert, Tian Xiezi, had a vicious expression. After speaking, he unleashed all his Qi.

The second brother, Di Xiezi, said: ”Big brother, let’s stop wasting words. Kill them, and we’ll take that woman as our Cauldron! It’s been a long time since we tasted such a beautiful woman!”

The third brother, Ren Xiezi, nodded.

Seeing the map fragment of the Heavenly Flame bought by Gu He, they decided to kill and rob. The three brothers had roamed the Jianghu for many years, absorbing female Cauldrons to improve their strength. They had once been driven out of the Central Plains, and now they were making a comeback!

With the three of them joining forces, they were enough to contend with a Half-Saint expert. Were they afraid they couldn’t beat this man and a little girl?

Gu He moved Zi Yan behind him, looking at the three with eyes devoid of any panic.

”You all come together. Don’t waste time.”

!?

Tian Xiezi was furious, his expression even gloomier: When had anyone ever provoked the three brothers like this?!

Zi Yan poked her head out: ”Three stinky lechers! Blehh!”

”Hmph!” Tian Xiezi’s face was as gloomy as black water. He called out to his two brothers.

”Beauty, don’t be unappreciative. Obediently follow your brother, and you’ll have good food and drink.” Ren Xiezi licked his cracked lips.

Following that, the Qi within the three burst forth, turning into three massive beams of light hundreds of feet long, shooting straight at Gu He and Zi Yan with lightning speed.

Gu He lightly tapped the breeze with his fingertip. The colorful Heavenly Flame attacked, like a beautiful rainbow, but in an instant, it swallowed the three’s Qi beams.

”Swoosh!”

Tian Xiezi and Di Xiezi were stunned, just about to react, when they saw that the colorful Heavenly Flame had not stopped after devouring their attacks!

The seven-colored Heavenly Flame swept over, covering the sky and earth!

”How is this possible!!”

Gu He held Zi Yan’s waist with one hand and stepped into the Void Realm with her.

”Boom—”

Colorful light spread.

I saw the three thin, lecherous thieves of the Cloud Rain Sect fall upon the green mountain along with the flames. The next moment, the green mountain itself seemed unable to withstand the huge energy aftermath, shattering apart. For a time, sand and stones flew...

”There are more beauties underground! Hmph!” Zi Yan crossed her arms, looking at the green mountain below turning into powder, revealing the desert again, and said disdainfully.

Gu He patted Zi Yan’s head: ”This tells us that when we are out and about, we must pay attention to safety.”

”Do you want to return to the Dragon Island?” Gu He asked.

Zi Yan shook her head desperately: ”I don’t want to go back! The Elders have managed the Dragon Island in perfect order; I still want to wander outside for a while!”

Gu He smiled helplessly, his eyes filled with unconscious doting as he looked at Zi Yan.

And Zi Yan lowered her head slightly, revealing her fair neck, seeming to carry a bit of fragility.

”If I walk and run around everywhere... it would be good if I could find my father...” She bit her lip.

A flash of heartache crossed Gu He’s eyes, ”We will definitely find him. I will accompany you.”

Actually, looking at it from a conspiracy theory perspective, Zi Yan’s father, Zhu Kun, was not a good person either.

But Zi Yan’s concern for her Family was genuine.

”Mm!!” Zi Yan nodded heavily, tears flashing in her eyes.

...

”System.”

[Present.]

”Synthesize the Purification Lotus Demon Flame Incomplete Manual, absorb the energy.”

[Synthesizing...]

[Absorbing...!]

Gu He had consciously collected the Incomplete Manual of the Purification Lotus Demon Flame from the beginning, not for the map, but just to let the System have a full meal.

The System could absorb the Incomplete Manual just like it absorbed the Burning Technique, but Gu He didn’t know what kind of reward the System would give this time.

[Purification Lotus Demon Flame Incomplete Manual mysterious energy absorption complete!]

[Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the Late Stage of the Five-Star Dou Sheng!]

[Congratulations to the host for promoting to a Six-Star Dou Sheng!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining eight pieces of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade (Simulation Version)!]

[Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade fragment (Simulation Version): The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade is the key to opening the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor’s Cave Abode. The original Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade has eight fragments, and each of the Ancient Eight Clans possesses one. Now, the Simulation Version rewarded by the System is identical in use to the original Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade and can also open the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor’s Cave Abode!]

[Does the host want to synthesize the eight simulation fragments?]

Gu He was stunned.

Breaking through to become a Six-Star Dou Sheng was one thing, but the System also rewarded him with the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade?

This was the key to the Dou Emperor’s Cave Abode! Was this something that could be directly rewarded? Without him having to fight the Eight Great Clans one by one?

”Cough, calm down, calm down.”

”System, synthesize.”

[Synthesizing...]

Eight simulated ancient jade fragments appeared in front of Gu He. When the eight pieces were brought together, they immediately burst into light.

A complete ancient jade, two sizes larger than Gu He’s palm, appeared. Gu He then grasped it in his palm. An ancient, wild aura slowly permeated from the ancient jade, making Gu He’s Soul tremble for a moment.

A simulated key had such power? Gu He’s thoughts drifted.

With the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in hand, and the Purification Lotus Demon Flame not yet born, Gu He decided to first go to the Black-Corner Region’s Jia Nan Academy to look for the deeply hidden Dou Emperor’s Cave Abode. After all, no one would expect him, Gu He, to know the location of the Dou Emperor’s Cave Abode and possess the key to open it.

After all, this wasn’t a fanfiction where he was writing a diary, right?

With the plan made, Gu He handed the Nine-Colored Origin Stone he obtained to Medusa, instructing her to break through properly and see if she could advance to a Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, then set off with Zi Yan.

...

A Dou Sheng could travel through space, so it didn’t take long for Gu He to return to that familiar place.

In the Black-Corner Region, above the Void Realm.

Gu He summoned Yun Yun, Medusa, Xiao Yi Xian, and Qing Lin.

Medusa had already perfectly refined the Nine-Colored Origin Stone in the mustard seed space and successfully upgraded her Bloodline. She was now a Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python.

A gorgeous flash of light appeared, and Medusa floated in the Void Realm with her arrogant temperament, her figure even more graceful.

Yun Yun and Zi Yan looked at this familiar Black-Corner Region, feeling somewhat puzzled.

”Why did we come back here?” Zi Yan asked.

They were now above Jia Nan Academy. After that battle between Gu He and the Dou Zun, Jia Nan Academy had been devastated and had only just managed to recover some vitality. Zi Yan was naturally very familiar with Jia Nan Academy, but she didn’t know what Gu He meant by bringing them back here.

Gu He’s voice was firm and astonishing: ”The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor’s Cave Abode is beneath Jia Nan Academy.”

”Ah?”

”What? Is this true?”

”There is actually a Dou Emperor’s Cave Abode in reality...”

Although the women were surprised, they had always trusted Gu He’s words implicitly. They had no doubts; they were just too shocked.

Yun Yun was wearing a light blue robe, looking at the distant sky, and sighed:

”I really didn’t expect that there would still be news of a Dou Emperor’s Cave Abode. Since the last Dou Emperor on the continent fell, we haven’t had a real Dou Emperor for thousands of years... The most popular theory now is that the Fighting Qi Continent has lost the Luck of the Dou Emperor.”

She suddenly turned her head to look at Gu He, her eyes shining with brilliant light: ”Gu He, if we can enter the Dou Emperor’s Cave Abode to obtain the Opportunity, perhaps...”

Medusa continued: ”You can really become a Dou Emperor!”

Perhaps Gu He could really become a Dou Emperor... At this moment, the women thought.

Gu He smiled lightly, ”Sincerity brings inspiration.”

His voice was gentle, like a casual murmur, but no one could underestimate his determination.

...

On the other end, Hai Bodong received Gu He’s sound transmission and, upon learning that he had returned, rushed over without stopping.

He was now at the Peak of the Dou Zong cultivation. Although he was old with long white hair, he was still spirited.

Hai Bodong was shocked the moment he saw Gu He.

”Long time no see, you... you have actually become a Dou Sheng?!”

The two communicated often, but Gu He didn’t always remember to tell Hai Bodong about matters of cultivation.

So when Hai Bodong saw Gu He and felt the Six-Star Dou Sheng aura radiating from him, his legs went soft!

”Hai Bodong pays respects to the Pill Saint!” Hai Bodong didn’t say a word, knelt halfway in the Void Realm, and performed a salute.

Gu He quickly pulled him up, ”Old friend, no need for such formalities.”

After some warm greetings, Gu He told Hai Bodong his intention to clear up the Black-Corner Region.

Hai Bodong agreed without a word, not even asking for the reason.

”I will definitely get it done!”

Although Hai Bodong was curious about why Gu He was doing this, he was not the type of person to get to the bottom of things; he was just happy that Gu He, who had become a Dou Sheng, could still think of him.

...

In less than half a day, under the cleanup by Hai Bodong and the experts of the Mittel Auction House, plus the looting by Zi Yan and others, the chaotic situation in the Black-Corner Region was cleared up. Anyone who resisted was buried underground.

The Black-Corner Region was already full of chaos and bloodshed, with many forces in the open and in the dark, and many struggles, but the highest cultivation level was only Dou Zong. Gu He supervised the cleanup of the Black-Corner Region, so in less than half a day, this chaotic land actually had a trace of peace amidst the bloodshed.

Next, it was time to negotiate with Jia Nan Academy. He, Gu He, would not touch the people of Jia Nan Academy, but the people of Jia Nan Academy had to leave.

”Zi Yan, I leave it to you.” Gu He patted Zi Yan’s shoulder and said.

Zi Yan nodded, ”Jia Nan Academy has been kind to me; I still want to resolve this matter peacefully.”

”After all, no one expected the Dou Emperor’s Cave Abode to be under the academy.”

Zi Yan was the Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan and had also been a student of Jia Nan Academy. Having her communicate with Elder Su Qian of Jia Nan Academy would be a good choice.

...

Under Zi Yan’s lead in communication, Elder Su Qian was persuaded.

Gu He added, ”I can re-demarcate a piece of land for Jia Nan Academy above the Void Realm, and ensure the Spiritual Qi is abundant.”

Su Qian sighed, ”Alright...”

Gu He spent one morning clearing up the Black-Corner Region. Su Qian had received the news a long time ago. He realized immediately that this matter would not be simple. Sure enough, now it had come.

Fortunately, Gu He only asked them to leave... Su Qian thought.

After all, if Gu He wanted the lives of the thousands of teachers and students of their Jia Nan Academy, it would be easy.

”All students of Jia Nan, after hearing the broadcast, please go to...”

Both the Inner Academy and Outer Academy of Jia Nan Academy broadcasted. Su Qian announced that the academy was to relocate its address at this very moment. The crowd was in an uproar, but they still followed the order.

After Su Qian finished everything, he felt as if a heavy stone had been lifted, collapsed to the ground, and muttered to himself:

”Who could have imagined that this one Elder of the Cloud Mist Sect could become a Dou Sheng whose feet would make the Fighting Qi Continent tremble when stamped...!”
