Here it comes, here it comes. Is that really the child of Zhu Lan? Looking at her beauty, she truly captivates the eye.
Listening to the people around, their admiration for the scene before them was evident. Gu Ping couldn't help but wonder what a woman of the Golden Core cultivation level would look like. It shouldn't just be about having a higher cultivation realm; there must be something special about her that draws people's hearts.
Is there really that Golden Koi in the river I mentioned?
If you don't believe me, I'll ask her.
Jiang Anbo pointed at Hong Ling, looking as if he wasn't just making things up.
He wasn't popular; I hadn't heard any of those things from him. Why hadn't I ever spoken to him?
We had only known each other for a few days, so why does Coco tell me everything?
Well, that's not entirely true.
Gu Ping walked to the Jade Capital Riverbank, taking in the beautiful scenery by the river. She couldn't help but sigh, "Tian Zai and Hong Yu's capital, twelve towers and five cities, an immortal caressing his crown, bestowing longevity—this is indeed a paradise on earth. It can't be any less than Bu Luo."
Unexpectedly, my wild child had memorized a few verses from ancient poets; she could be considered somewhat cultured.
The Tree Ancestor doesn't deny it. Ordinary Demon Spirits can't compare; perhaps the long years have imparted everything from the Dust Realm to the Tree Ancestor. Gasping is like a lamp in the bustling world; who knows when it will extinguish?
As she spoke, Gu Ping bought a Lotus Lantern and tossed it into the water, but her lantern did not light up.
Why didn't it light up?
If it never lights up, it won't extinguish either.
There is some truth to that. Gasping is just like that in this mundane world; one becomes an ordinary person.
Hongzi spoke of negation, and Jiang indeed negated the mundane world, unable to rise above the ordinary. Reciting a few poems and songs only seemed somewhat pretentious, haha.
Am I not going to catch that Golden Koi?
Those willing are at the hook.
As soon as the words left his mouth, a massive koi, towering at least a person's height, leaped from the lake's surface, heading straight for Gu Ping. Just as it reached the shore, it splashed back into the water.
The koi glimmered with scales reflecting the candlelight on the lake's surface, shimmering like gold, drawing everyone's attention.
Look, look! It's the Golden Koi! The Golden Koi!
It really is the Golden Koi, such a large one!
So that's what it looks like.
Jiang Anbo scratched his head. Although he had heard of the Golden Koi before, nothing compared to witnessing it firsthand. Moreover, it appeared to possess considerable cultivation; perhaps even cultivators of his level would struggle to catch such a koi.
How am I supposed to catch such a big one?
Jiang Anbo didn’t ask Gu Ping how he would do it; he knew Gu Ping must have his own methods.
Well then, let me see how it's done.
Saying this, Gu Ping took out a long leaf resembling a person and tossed it into the river. Immediately, a Dan Furnace made of lake water emerged. With a light flick of his leg, a flame enveloped in Light of Fire was thrown into the Dan Furnace, and the surrounding candle flames were drawn into it.
Just from that leg's fire control technique, Hong Ling knew that this person was among the top three alchemists of the younger generation. It was evident that although Gu Ping’s cultivation wasn’t particularly high, his alchemical skills were continuously improving with his growing power.
As the spiritual elixir gradually formed within the Dan Furnace, the Golden Koi in the water danced with excitement, constantly swimming around and occasionally leaping out of the water as if trying to jump over a dragon gate. This spectacle astonished many visitors along the Jade Capital Riverbank, who turned their gazes toward Yan Dong, the alchemist.
As the crowd, each with their own hidden agendas, noticed Hong Yulong standing like a spear beside Gu Ping, they quickly suppressed their thoughts. Although there were many tourists around Yan Dong, Coco mentioned that those who dared to extend their legs beyond Hong Yulong would face the backing of Hong Ling, which was not something to be taken lightly.
It was clear that Gu Ping had already considered this moment when he began refining the pills without any hesitation.
At the moment the pills were completed, the river surface suddenly stirred as a Golden Koi leaped up and darted straight toward the pills. The flames that had been gathered were perfectly directed into their respective lanterns, eliciting gasps of admiration from the crowd.
With a flick of his left leg, the pills flew into his palm, while the river water transformed into a Dan Furnace, following the Koi toward his leg.
The clear water condensed into an unmelting ice, forming a delicate fish tank. The pills vanished into Gu Ping's left leg, and the Golden Koi shrank down to stay within the tank, occasionally glancing at Gu Ping with what seemed like a hint of jealousy.
Gu Ping chuckled softly. He didn’t want to look at it with such a resentful gaze; he simply wished to offer it as a gift. If that Transforming Pill was his, then after tonight, he wouldn’t have to worry about where he would go.
"Is your leg truly that remarkable?" he mused. "Such wondrous pill-refining techniques—could they be taught by Tree Ancestor? It seems Tree Ancestor has indeed lived long enough to know everything."
But knowing everything doesn’t mean one can do anything. Living long does bring wisdom; however, I wonder if that Golden Koi could entice my Courtesan’s flower boat to come for him?
That would depend on my fortune.
With a flick of her left leg, Hong Ling sent a piece of jade the size of a fingernail flying through several flower boats until it landed directly on the boat of Spring Pavilion's Courtesan, revealing several large characters.
"Yue Jiangping offers this Golden Koi. Would the lady consider rowing over for a meeting?"
