Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 854: Chapter 854: God Horned Ant, 1000-Herb Resurrection Pill

”So it’s the Tianjiao Ant Clan... Pardon my lack of manners!”

Ye Yun’s face showed a look of realization, and with fists cupped, he spoke with a smile.

The Tianjiao Ant Clan, with immense strength and robust bodies, were extremely powerful within the Demon Clan.

Even ten thousand years ago,

The Tianjiao Ant Clan could rival Heaven level forces.

The black-clad man before him had a cultivation base at the late stage of the Eternity Realm’s Tenth Layer, only slightly behind Gu Anran, considered at least an ancestor level figure within the Tianjiao Ant Clan.

”Senior Brother?”

The Tianjiao Ant was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked, ”Friend Gu, when did you gain another senior brother?”

Gu Anran smiled pleasantly, ”We just acknowledged each other as senior and junior brother and sister...”

The Tianjiao Ant pursed his lips, speaking sourly, ”I’ve known you for so many years, how come I’ve never heard of you having a senior brother?”

”I lost my memory before, so naturally I couldn’t recall my senior brother’s appearance. But by chance, now that my senior brother is here to attend the artifact refining conference, we got to meet!”

Gu Anran waved both hands vigorously, speaking with excitement.

”I see, it turns out this Daoist friend is also a Refining Master, my apologies for the oversight...”

The Tianjiao Ant cupped his fists with both hands, speaking rather politely.

Ye Yun nodded and smiled, acknowledging the gesture.

”How strange, what happened on Piaomiao Peak? Why are so many people suddenly standing on their heads?”

The Tianjiao Ant was about to speak but suddenly turned his attention to Piaomiao Peak below the clouds.

”Are you talking about those Refining Masters? They lost a bet and are now preparing to eat dung while standing on their heads...”

Gu Anran’s eyes twinkled, and he couldn’t help but laugh.

”Eat dung while standing on their heads?”

The Tianjiao Ant was taken aback, unable to hide his shock, and quickly asked, ”What kind of bet would make so many Refining Masters eat dung standing on their heads?”

”My senior brother promised to restore my Dragon-subduing Cauldron within the time it takes to burn an incense stick, and those ignorant fools never believed it, so they made a wager. Now that the Dragon-subduing Cauldron is fully restored, naturally, they must honor their commitments!”

Gu Anran sneered.

”Goodness, your Dragon-subduing Cauldron is fully restored?

How much time has even passed?

It seems like the artifact refining conference only started today, right?”

The Tianjiao Ant was shocked, questioning in a series.

”Of course the Dragon-subduing Cauldron is restored. Who is my senior brother? He’s an invincible Refining Master!”

Gu Anran said with pride all over his face.

Hiss!

Upon confirmation, the Tianjiao Ant drew a sharp breath, looking at Ye Yun with disbelief.

How could there be such a terrifying artifact refining master on the Cangnan Continent?

He was aware that Gu Anran had a God-level Dragon-subduing Cauldron.

Back then, Gu Anran, with the cultivation base of the Peak of the Tenth Realm in the Eternity Realm, forcefully broke into the Ancient Road to Heaven, resulting in severe injuries, and even the Dragon-subduing Cauldron was damaged, dropping from God level to Lower Emperor-grade.

If this cauldron is restored, wouldn’t that mean the Dragon-subduing Cauldron has been restored from Lower Emperor-grade back to God-level?

How could such a massive transformation happen within the time it takes to burn an incense stick?

”Brother Ant, I know you might find it hard to believe, but this is the truth...”

Gu Anran spread her hands, evidently familiar with the Tianjiao Ant, showing no signs of being reserved.

After speaking.

Gu Anran suddenly reached out, and the golden, shimmering Dragon-subduing Cauldron appeared in her palm.

”This...” Feeling the mighty presence of the Dragon-subduing Cauldron, the Tianjiao Ant’s expression suddenly stiffened.

The Dragon-subduing Cauldron had indeed returned to God-level!

One must admit, this Refining Master truly has astonishing skills.

In the history of the Cangnan Continent, the Tianjiao Ant had never heard of such a powerful Refining Master.

”Master, you are truly amazing, I am in awe!”

The Tianjiao Ant, cupping his fists with both hands, once again spoke politely to Ye Yun.

”It’s just coincidental.”

Ye Yun smiled lightly.

He was like an endlessly overpowered anomaly; what in this world could challenge him?

”Master is too modest.”

The Tianjiao Ant chuckled awkwardly, then turned back once more to look at Gu Anran, his gaze becoming deep with affection.

”Ever since I learned of your injuries, I haven’t slept well a single night, thinking of you daily...”

The Tianjiao Ant spoke with deep affection.

Gu Anran frowned slightly, ”Brother Ant, what are you doing?”

The Tianjiao Ant sighed, then suddenly flicked his hand, revealing a small white bottle.

”Over the years, I’ve been collecting heavenly materials and earthly treasures from everywhere, spending a great deal of effort and resources, and even sought out top Alchemy Masters to finally create a bottle of Thousand Grass Resurrection Pill!”

”It’s actually the Thousand Grass Resurrection Pill?”

Upon hearing it was the Thousand Grass Resurrection Pill, Gu Anran’s jade-like face turned excited immediately.

The Thousand Grass Resurrection Pill, created from a thousand extremely precious Immortal Herbs, holds unimaginable miraculous effects for Eternity Realm individuals like her who are injured.

But the Thousand Grass Resurrection Pill isn’t available on the market, it is extremely rare. Back then, she had inquired about the whereabouts of the Thousand Grass Resurrection Pill at the top auction houses of Cangnan Continent, all to no avail.

No one was selling it.

Gu Anran never expected the Tianjiao Ant would pay such a huge price to refine a bottle of Thousand Grass Resurrection Pill for her.

This gesture is truly touching.

Gu Anran’s eyes reddened instantly, and as she looked at that small bottle, her breath quickened.

As long as she takes this bottle of Thousand Grass Resurrection Pill, her injuries would be completely healed.

Then, she can once again step onto the Ancient Road to Heaven.

Last time, she lacked experience; this time, as she challenges the Ancient Road to Heaven again, Gu Anran feels her chances would be much greater.

”Gu Anran, we have been close friends for many years. Since you are hurt, how could I not be anxious?”

The Tianjiao Ant smiled quietly, handing over the small white bottle with both hands.

Gu Anran took the small white bottle, moved, and said, ”Brother Ant! I really can’t thank you enough. When I have mastered my cultivation in the Divine Land and return in triumph, I will surely give you a grand reward!”

”Gu Anran, we can talk about future matters later. Honestly, giving you this bottle of Thousand Grass Resurrection Pill, I also have a small personal desire...”

The Tianjiao Ant rubbed his hands, a slight blush creeping over his face.

”Brother Ant, feel free to speak. I will certainly do my best to help you achieve it!”

Gu Anran said decisively.

The Tianjiao Ant, for her sake, had squandered at least half of his savings accumulated over the years. A friend so devoted, she would naturally repay them wholeheartedly.

”I have been stuck at the late stage of the Eternity Realm’s Tenth Layer for a long time, always just a bit short of breaking through... I think, if I can reach the peak of the Tenth Layer in the Eternity Realm and explore the Ancient Road to Heaven with you, wouldn’t the chances of passing be greater?”

The Tianjiao Ant rubbed his hands, smiling as he spoke.

”Brother Ant, what you say makes sense...”

Gu Anran nodded.

”Here’s the thing...”

The Tianjiao Ant took a deep breath, his expression sacred, and slowly said, ”I acquired a dual cultivation secret method from a friend. If you become my Dao companion and dual cultivate with me, I believe in less than a month, I will break through to the peak of the Tenth Layer in the Eternity Realm! At that time, we can explore the Ancient Road to Heaven together...”

”Dual cultivation?”

Upon hearing these bold words, Gu Anran’s expression changed drastically.
