After returning to the inn, Yu Qing Qian gave all the forging materials obtained from Leng Ling Shuang to Feng Chen and Chi Mo Ran, then began to refine potions in seclusion.
In the following days, other pupils went out to play, but Yu Qing Qian didn’t participate. The pupils of the Holy Academy couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. No wonder the Great Demon King was able to win first place in the Holy Land Challenge as a new pupil, revealing her brilliance.
She wasn’t only a genius with devilish talents, but also so hardworking, which made one ashamed.
The potions Yu Qing Qian was refining this time just happened to use the spiritual herbs she won from Leng Ling Shuang in the bet, and she also used all the wasp venom stored by the Demon Emperor Herb.
“How’s your comprehension of the poison classic?” Gu Yan couldn’t resist asking when he saw Yu Qing Qian extracting and purifying many colourful and strange potions.
Yu Qing Qian put away the last bottle of refined potion, “I’ve comprehended it until the Grandmaster level, but many potions require very advanced-level materials, so I haven’t extracted such poisons of that level yet.”
“Why are you extracting and purifying so many poisons? To continue to feed the demonic plants?” Gu Yan couldn’t resist but feel his scalp tingle when he mentioned the demonic plants that Yu Qing Qian fed with poison.
Now all of Yu Qing Qian’s demonic plants loved to drink poison. Besides the Nine-Coloured Magic Lotus, even the Demon Emperor Herb was crazy in Gu Yan’s eyes.
If others knew about this, it would definitely attract the attention of many superiors on the continent.
“Part of it is used to feed the demonic plants, and the rest I’m keeping for the sea realm as a lifesaving means or to fight against enemies.” Yu Qing Qian said lazily.
Gu Yan rolled his eyes, “Anyone who faces you in the sea realm will definitely be unlucky.”
“Master, did you figure out Lou Shao Qing’s background in the underwater palace that night?” Yu Qing Qian couldn’t forget the meaningful look in Lou Shao Qing’s eyes when he left, as if there was some deep meaning within it.
Gu Yan said: “His cultivation base has already surpassed Spirit Emperor, but he’s just using a method to restrain his aura, so that others can’t see through it.”
Yu Qing Qian was surprised, “Surpassed Spirit Emperor, then that means he’s a Spirit Sovereign.”
It was said that the highest level of cultivation on this continent was Spirit Venerable, but so far, Yu Qing Qian hadn’t seen such a powerhouse with such a high level of cultivation yet,
“Mm, he should possess no hostility towards you.” Gu Yan thought for a bit, then said: “But it’s true that he’s a little weird.”
“What weird?”
“That kind of method of restraining aura doesn’t seem to be something your small place possesses, it should come from there.”
Yu Qing Qian had long guessed that Gu Yan wasn’t from their continent, “Where’s ‘there’?”
“It’s a continent that’s more advanced than yours. The highest level of cultivation that the spiritual force of heaven and earth can accommodate on your continent is only that at Spirit Venerable, but there are Spirit Saints and Spirit Deities on that continent.” Gu Yan looked into the distance.
“Does that mean that people from our continent can go to that more advanced continent if they reach a certain level of cultivation?” Yu Qing Qian thought for a while and asked.
Gu Yan replied: “Not exactly. In fact, that more advanced continent is connected to other lower-level continents, but the passage from your continent to the higher-level continent was closed due to a battle between powerhouses thirty years ago on this continent, therefore people on both sides can no longer pass through.”
“So Master, you suspect that Lou Shao Qing is actually someone from the advanced continent who remained here back then?” Yu Qing Qian pondered.
“Mm, I can’t rule out this possibility, and it’s very likely. I constantly feel like I’ve encountered the same aura on him somewhere before, but it was definitely before I was locked up in the small pagoda.” Gu Yan said.
