In a tranquil and elegant courtyard, Gu Changsheng and Yao Tianchen sat facing each other, while Li Beifei and the Liu sisters, Yanran and Yuran, stood respectfully behind Gu Changsheng.
On the table, there was a pot of wine and two cups, all made from special immortal jade.
From the moment he entered the courtyard, Li Beifei was deeply attracted to the wine pot and cups. Although he drank, he wasn't a connoisseur. His focus on the pot and cups was entirely due to their material.
As everyone knows, in the world of cultivators, source crystals are the hard currency, divided into low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade. Before cultivators reach the Saint Realm, they use source crystals for cultivation.
But after reaching the Saint Realm, the quality of the heaven and earth energy contained in source crystals is insufficient to provide energy. After the Saint Realm, only the energy contained within divine sources can enhance a cultivator's cultivation.
And at the Supreme Realm and above, only immortal sources can help them. Anything below immortal sources is only slightly more valuable than stones on the roadside.
Immortal jade, however, is a mutated immortal source, priceless because it contains the rules of heaven and earth. Therefore, powerful individuals like to use immortal jade to craft special containers to hold immortal-grade items, such as immortal pills or immortal wine!
Li Beifei had just learned this knowledge from Old Six. Staring at the immortal jade wine pot on the table, he was certain that the wine it contained must be immortal wine.
Damn, using immortal wine to entertain the old guy is such a waste! He can't even improve his cultivation by drinking it. Better to give it to me, give it all to me...
Li Beifei was consumed with jealousy.
Yao Tianchen was also incredibly curious about the relationship between Li Beifei and the two sisters and Gu Changsheng, but due to his status, he was too embarrassed to ask directly.
However, Gu Changsheng saw through Yao Tianchen's thoughts. He took out his own wine pot and, while pouring the immortal wine into it, said, "He's called Li Beifei, a disciple of mine with not much potential. The two little girls next to him are his confidantes."
Li Beifei's face darkened. Damn Gu Changsheng, is that how you introduce your disciple? What do you mean 'not much potential'? Does my lack of success bring you glory?
As for the words "confidantes," Li Beifei was too angry to pay attention. However, Liu Yanran and Liu Yuran were overjoyed. Master said they were the young master's confidantes, not just followers, which made them very happy.
"So, they are disciples of the Great Emperor!" Yao Tianchen suddenly understood. Although the Great Emperor said Li Beifei had no potential, he couldn't think that way. Anyone who could become a disciple of the Great Emperor, even if they lacked potential now, would definitely have a future.
However, the Great Emperor's vision was indeed unique. He could see that Li Beifei's bone age was already very old, at least several thousand years, but his cultivation was still only at the first level of the Transcendent Realm, even lower than the two girls beside him. Could he be planning to accumulate strength for a later breakthrough?
(Li Beifei's age is indeed several thousand years. In the Emperor Hongshi's tomb, he ate a Longevity Pill and spent thousands of years remembering everything about martial arts, plus another thousand years in the Void Realm. I'm clarifying this here to avoid misunderstandings.)
Yao Tianchen was puzzled but didn't delve deeper. In his opinion, since Li Beifei could become the Great Emperor's disciple, he must have something others lacked.
However, Li Beifei, after hearing Yao Tianchen's words, nodded in agreement. See, how well he speaks. You should learn from him, old guy.
Li Beifei was mentally boasting.
"Smack!"
Suddenly, Li Beifei felt a pain in his forehead. He immediately came back to his senses and found Gu Changsheng glaring at him. He was shocked. Did this old guy read my mind again?
Thinking of this, Li Beifei quickly tried to beg for mercy, saying, "Master, I..."
"Why are you talking to me? Greet the guest. Where are your manners?" Gu Changsheng said unhappily.
So, he didn't read my mind. I almost knelt again.
Li Beifei breathed a sigh of relief. After regaining his senses, he quickly cupped his hands to Yao Tianchen and said, "Greetings, Patriarch Yao."
Upon seeing this, Liu Yanran and Liu Yuran also greeted Yao Tianchen along with Li Beifei.
Yao Tianchen shook his head and said, "No need to be so polite. Just relax."
Gu Changsheng shook his head to the side. It was all his fault for not disciplining this rebellious disciple properly. He had to teach him what propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame were!
Li Beifei inexplicably felt a shock in his heart, a sense of palpitations. He secretly glanced at Gu Changsheng and found that Gu Changsheng wasn't looking at him.
"Could it be that I'm hallucinating because I stayed in the Void Realm for too long?" Li Beifei thought to himself.
At this moment, Gu Changsheng looked at Li Beifei and gave him a wink. Li Beifei immediately understood and said to Yao Tianchen, "Patriarch Yao, we want to take a stroll and won't disturb your conversation with my master."
After speaking, he led Liu Yanran and Liu Yuran away.
Yao Tianchen knew that Gu Changsheng intentionally sent Li Beifei and the others away, there must be something important. He couldn't help but say, "Great Emperor, is there something you need me to do?"
Gu Changsheng shook his head and said, "Don't think too complicatedly. I asked them to leave because my disciple is a bit unreliable in his actions."
"Unreliable?"
Yao Tianchen was puzzled. Could it be that the Great Emperor's next words were related to Li Beifei?
Seeing this, Gu Changsheng knew that Yao Tianchen was overthinking again, so he simply didn't beat around the bush. He took out a jet-black box, then waved his hand and set up a powerful barrier in the house.
Seeing this, Yao Tianchen became even more puzzled. What could be so important that even the Great Emperor was so cautious?
He couldn't help but look at the box. The box wasn't very big, it could be held in one hand.
"Open it!" Gu Changsheng said calmly.
Yao Tianchen picked up the box, with a curious heart, and slowly opened it.
When the box was opened a crack, an extremely dazzling golden light radiated from the box. The golden light seemed to have a life of its own, not in the form of a ray. Instead, it darted around the room. If Gu Changsheng hadn't been prepared, the golden light would have left here and gone to the outside world.
Seeing that it couldn't leave the house, the golden light returned to the box.
At this time, Yao Tianchen had completely opened the box. He found a golden pill inside the box, and the pill exuded a rich aura of the origin of the Great Dao, which shocked him.
"This is..."
Even Yao Tianchen, who had lived for millions of years and seen much, had never seen this kind of pill.
"This is the Great Dao Golden Pill. An Immortal Venerable can become an Immortal Emperor immediately after taking it. Those below Immortal Venerable can lay the foundation for becoming an Immortal Emperor after refining it, and will have an 80% chance of becoming an Immortal Emperor in the future."
Gu Changsheng said lightly.
"This..." Yao Tianchen was so shocked that he didn't know how to express himself.
"80% is indeed a bit low, but it's better than no hope, isn't it?" Gu Changsheng laughed.
Yao Tianchen nodded subconsciously, and then realized something was wrong.
An 80% chance of becoming an Immortal Emperor is low?
After a long time, Yao Tianchen finally calmed his complex heart. He said, "Great Emperor, I cannot accept such a precious thing."
Gu Changsheng frowned and said, "I'm not giving it to you for nothing, but because of Yao Xian."
Yao Tianchen still insisted on not accepting it. He said, "I understand the Great Emperor's meaning, but the Great Emperor saved our Yao family from the crisis of extermination and healed the Dao wounds of the ancestor. Such great kindness is unforgettable. If I accept your kindness, Great Emperor, I would really feel bad about it."
In Yao Tianchen's opinion, a pill like the Great Dao Golden Pill, which could allow an Immortal Venerable to become an Immortal Emperor on the spot, couldn't be compared to even a complete Great World. Such a treasure was extremely rare even for the Great Emperor.
It was too precious, he dared not accept it.
Seeing Yao Tianchen being as stubborn as a mule, Gu Changsheng couldn't help but snort coldly.
"That little thing is nothing compared to my wife. Since you insist on not wanting it, then don't blame me for being impolite."
After saying that, Gu Changsheng grabbed the Great Dao Golden Pill in his hand, and then pushed it towards Yao Tianchen. The Great Dao Golden Pill turned into a stream of light and entered Yao Tianchen's body. Gu Changsheng even helped Yao Tianchen refine the Great Dao Golden Pill. Even if Yao Tianchen wanted to refuse, he had no chance at this time.
"Great Emperor, you..." Yao Tianchen looked at Gu Changsheng with a wry smile.
"Yao Xian was born because of your Yao family, so I will give your Yao family an Immortal Emperor."
Gu Changsheng said lightly.
