Seeing how happy Xiao Hongchen was, Gu Jian smiled and took out a piece of paper filled with medicinal materials.
"Your Highness Princess, could you please help me collect these elixirs?"
"Collecting medicinal materials?"
Xiao Hongchen was slightly startled, she thought Gu Jian was going to make some unreasonable request.
After giving Gu Jian a high look in her heart, she took the paper and read it.
"Shuiyun Jiao Essence and Blood, Python Tail and Tiger Heart, Purple Rain Vine, Shifang Red Cloud Ginseng..."
Seeing this, even the well-informed Xiao Hongchen was slightly shocked.
Because the elixirs that Gu Jian wanted were all extremely rare and priceless.
Even in the treasure house of her Heavenly Star Royal Family, she may not have even one or two of these elixirs.
"Your Highness, are you in trouble?"
Gu Jian asked tentatively.
"Don't worry, since I promised you, I will definitely find a way to help you collect them all."
Xiao Hongchen said seriously.
Although the medicinal materials that Gu Jian needed were rare and expensive, compared with the Xuanbingxuhua Dan that allowed her little aunt to break through to the Huaxu Martial King, the latter was obviously more precious.
"Then thank you, Your Highness, Princess."
Gu Jian slightly arched his hands.
"In addition, I have an unkind request. I wonder if Your Highness the Princess can agree to it?"
"Just say it."
Xiao Hongchen smiled slightly.
"Mulong is in seclusion this time. I'm afraid he won't be able to come out in less than ten days and a half. And I have to go to Tianxing Academy to practice. I'm leaving Hongye alone in Piaoxue Tower. As an elder brother, I really can't worry about it, so..." Gu Jian was very worried.
It's difficult.
Piaoxue Tower is certainly safe, but since Pang Shun can come in and kill him, it is not 100% safe.
He naturally hopes that Hongye can always stay with him, but if this poses a threat to her, then he cannot be stubborn and selfish.
Xiao Hongchen is the most favored little princess of the royal family, and she has an old eunuch who is in the Nascent Soul realm as her personal bodyguard. If Hongye can be allowed to live with her temporarily, not to mention the Li family, even Lord Mo Chen will not be able to do anything to Hongye.
"No problem. As long as your sister is willing, I can take her to the palace to stay for a few days."
Xiao Hongchen guessed what Gu Jian wanted to say and agreed without waiting for him to finish.
"Thank you, Your Highness Princess. When Mu Long comes out of confinement, I will bring Hong Ye back and I will never cause you any trouble." Gu Jian said gratefully.
"It doesn't matter."
Xiao Hongchen chuckled and shook his head.
After today's alchemy competition, she also learned some about the grudges between Gu Jian and the Li family.
In her opinion, Gu Jian is a very brave brother who will risk everything for Gu Hongye.
She was in the palace and was used to intrigues. This kind of sincere brother-sister relationship made her envious.
After Xiao Hongchen agreed, Gu Jian went back to the room and found Gu Hongye.
"Brother, Hongye has already heard what you said to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Gu Hongye said a little aggrievedly.
Gu Jian smiled bitterly and said: "Hongye, are you willing to stay with Her Royal Highness for a few days?"
"Um……"
Although Gu Hongye felt reluctant to let go of her brother, she knew that he was doing it for her own good.
What's more, if she is caught again like she was in Qingshan City, she will cause trouble for her brother again.
"Hong Ye is good, when Uncle Mu Long comes out of confinement, I will go and bring you back."
Gu Jian rubbed Gu Hongye's head, feeling pleased that she was sensible.
"Well! Brother, you should be careful too."
Gu Hongye smiled.
"Hongye, let's go."
Not long after, Xiao Hongchen knocked on the door and looked at Gu Hongye cordially.
As a little princess of the kingdom, although she has a noble status, she has had no close friends since she was a child. Now she is very happy to have a very well-behaved sister by her side.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry."
Gu Hongye said politely.
"There is no need to call me Princess, just call me Sister Hongchen..."
Xiao Hongchen put down his figure as a princess, took Gu Hongye's hand, and left Piaoxue Tower.
"Mr. Gu, please take care of yourself."
The old eunuch glanced at Gu Jian meaningfully and followed Xiao Hongchen in a blink of an eye.
"It's time to go to Tianxing Academy."
After Xiao Hongchen left with Gu Hongye, Gu Jian disguised himself and went to Tianxing Academy.
The news of Pang Shun's death must have spread by now. He must hide in Tianxing Academy before the Li family or Lord Mo Chen takes action.
Unlike Piaoxue Tower, Tianxing Academy has strict rules. Even if Mo Chen Wujun is in the academy, he cannot attack students without any reason.
After all, it belongs to the royal family and is the number one martial arts palace in the Star Kingdom. If the safety of its own students cannot be guaranteed, how come there are so many martial arts geniuses coming to learn from it?
From December to February of the next year, it is the admission season for Tianxing College, so there are many new faces. Gu Jian arrived at Tianxing College smoothly.
After entering the academy, Gu Jian returned to the dormitory arranged for the students and locked himself in the room.
Gu Jian took out two elixirs that emitted a faint blue light from the Najie. They were the Wu Nian Tong Xuan Dan that he and Pang Shun refined in the alchemy competition.
After the sublimation of the Panlong Cauldron, the quality of the two elixirs has been upgraded to a higher level.
Pang Shun's top-grade five-year Tongxuan Pill was sublimated to the best quality with elixir patterns; while Gu Jian's top-grade Wu Nian Tongxuan Pill was directly sublimated to perfect quality.
"With the same pill that improves understanding, after taking one pill, the effect of the second pill will be greatly reduced, or even one out of ten will be lost. This top-quality Wu Nian Tong Xuan Pill should be reserved for Hong Ye."
After Gu Jian calmed down and concentrated, he took the perfect quality Wu Nian Tong Xuan Pill in his hand.
As soon as the elixir melted in his mouth, a wave of coolness rushed straight into Gu Jian's mind.
Somewhere in the dark, Gu Jian felt that his consciousness had become clearer, and even the world in his eyes became clearer.
Not only that, he delved into the swordsmanship inheritance of Lingtian Sword Emperor and found that those parts that were previously difficult to understand now actually gave him some insights.
"As expected of Wu Nian Tong Xuan Dan, understanding is so important to a warrior's cultivation."
After feeling that his understanding had improved, Gu Jian struck while the iron was hot and studied swordsmanship.
At the same time, Mo Chen Wujun, who was at the back of Tianxing College, learned of Pang Shun's death.
It's not that the news came too slowly, it's that while he was practicing, no one could break through the barrier he set.
"Xiao Shun is dead? He committed suicide because he lost to that Gu Jian in alchemy?!"
"No, this is impossible!"
When Mo Chen heard the news, he became murderous and his eyes were red with anger.
When Gu Jian killed Li Ming, he just felt that the former was arrogant and did not take him seriously.
After all, he himself did not have the same feelings towards Li Ming as between a master and a disciple.
Over the years, with his help, many members of the Li family have enrolled in Tianxing Academy.
The reason why he accepted Li Ming as his disciple was purely to reaffirm the sincerity of the Li family.
But Pang Shun is different.
Pang Shun is not only the number one genius in alchemy in the kingdom, but also very talented in martial arts. He is his personal disciple who he has devoted many years of hard work to training and has high hopes for.
Pang Shun's death made him feel sad and angry!
"How could you, Gu Jian, actually have the ability to defeat Xiao Shun and force him to kill himself! And the Li family, if it weren't for your incompetence, how could Xiao Shun die at the hands of that country ant!"
