In Gu Jin’s eyes, Wanqi Yihai indeed didn’t need much attention.
The arrival of Butler Zhen, as well as now being "easily" found by the Wanqi Family, gave her a slight sense of crisis; perhaps it was ti to break through to Foundation Establishnt.
She had already refined the Foundation Establishnt Pill, just waiting for the right mont to take it during the breakthrough.
Now, the opportunity had arrived.
With the feeling of crisis approaching, her desire to beco stronger grew even more intense.
Speaking of alchemy, Gu Jin always felt that she lacked talent.
Until the last ti she refined a Soul Nourishing Pill and gave two Golden Core pills to Yu Shuo and Jiang Hanyi for safety, she realized that most of the ti her success in alchemy was related to the abundance of spiritual energy in the space and the high-quality alchemy furnace there.
Even if her cultivation was low, the space assisted her significantly.
An Mingji turned his head and saw Gu Jin lost in thought. He withdrew his hand from Duoduo’s head, stood up, and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast by boiling milk.
Or rather, to prepare lunch.
Since getting up, they had been disturbed continuously and hadn’t eaten yet.
...
After going downstairs, Wanqi Yihai made a phone call to his uncle.
Beijing.
The head of the Wanqi Family answered his nephew’s call, "Yihai, how are things going?"
"Uncle, Little Jiu Lord knows we’re hiding sothing from her. She refuses to help us with alchemy, saying that when seeking help, one must be honest."
Wanqi Yihai’s tone was uncontrollably excited.
Even though Gu Jin refused, he didn’t co in vain this ti; after searching for so many years, he had finally found an alchemist.
Wanqi Yanghong felt a bit of a headache hearing his tone, "Did you let sothing slip?"
"No, after arriving in Wanhai, I first used subtle thods to let the Yu and Jiang families know that our Wanqi Family was looking for soone. Then, I offered those mbers involved in the kidnapping of young master Jiang back then and let the two families inform Little Jiu Lord we were here, making a visit to express our desire for an elixir."
"Think carefully again, did you say anything wrong?"
Wanqi Yihai stood downstairs, looking up towards the third-floor direction, where Gu Jin was.
"I don’t know, she just seed very sure that I was hiding sothing from her."
After a while, Wanqi Yanghong’s voice ca through the call, calm yet bitter, "Following the ancestor’s instructions, you can tell her the whole story. If Little Jiu Lord still refuses, it ans the Wanqi Family’s fortune has ended."
"..."
Wanqi Yihai’s expression grew solemn.
Thinking of how the promising youths in the family had encountered misfortunes one after another over the years, and now even the ancestor was nearing the end, his heart grew heavier.
Withdrawing his gaze from the third floor, Wanqi Yihai assured, "Uncle, if I can’t bring Little Jiu Lord with , I won’t leave!"
"Do your best. The Wanqi Family can’t afford to offend anyone these days, so act cautiously."
"Understood, Uncle."
After hanging up the phone, Wanqi Yihai lowered his eyes, carrying a gravity beyond his years, the heavy responsibility of being part of the Wanqi Family.
"Little Jiu Lord..."
The young man murmured Gu Jin’s na, suddenly frowning.
He looked up and asked the cultivators behind him, "Since last night, have any of the families we’ve visited ntioned Little Jiu Lord’s na?"
"Never."
"No..."
Wanqi Yihai’s expression turned inexplicable, as if he had found where the problem lay.
"What about at the Jiang Family? Did anyone ntion Little Jiu Lord?"
"No either, the Jiang Family refers to her as Miss Gu."
Getting confirmation from his companions, Wanqi Yihai silently covered his face.
He finally realized where the problem was.
