Empress: My husband is too strong, I can only lie down and relax.

Chapter 228 Cultivating the Qiankun Technique?!

"That's right, this token is the symbol of the Lotus Pavilion, and it can be used to create a barrier that can withstand a full-force attack from a mid-stage Saint Realm cultivator."

"In addition, they will also have the qualification to enter the first level of the Sacred Dao Palace's treasure vault at any time."

The Holy Maiden Xuanji laughed again.

"Enter the Dao Palace Treasury?"

Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow. This reward surprised him quite a bit, and the dissatisfaction in his heart dissipated considerably.

The treasury of the Supreme Sage Palace must contain a great many treasures, right?

"That's right, anytime, anywhere."

"Furthermore, if you win the championship in the Holy Domain Prodigy Competition this time and force those Holy Sons and Holy Daughters to use evil magic, the Holy Dao Palace will give you and the Taiji Sect ten more places to enter the Dao Palace for cultivation for half a year!"

"You should know that previously, to cultivate within the Dao Palace, one needed at least the peak of the late Saint Realm!"

"In short, the Dao Palace will not treat you unfairly!" Saintess Xuanji nodded.

"Okay then!"

"I will do my best!"

Finally, after receiving these continuous rewards, Gu Jiancheng admitted that he was tempted.

Moreover, if the Holy Domain Prodigy Competition were really held, he would have gone anyway and would have definitely competed for the championship.

This reward is too good to pass up, even though it's only a verbal promise for now.

"That's good!"

"You have one month to prepare. Three more masters of Lotus Pavilion are on their way and will arrive tomorrow. I have other missions to attend to, so I won't stay any longer."

The Holy Maiden Xuanji smiled, then turned and left, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Master, is this Xuanji Saintess really just a saintess?"

Gu Jiancheng withdrew his gaze and looked at Li Piaomiao, asking her a question.

“The Holy Maiden of Xuanji is indeed extraordinary. Although she is called a Holy Maiden, her status is actually second only to the First Master of the Pavilion.” Li Piaomiao shrugged.

"What? Second only to the First Master?" Gu Jiancheng was taken aback upon hearing this.

He had just thought that he, as the eighth floor master, was above the Holy Maiden!

“That’s right, because currently, only the First Master and the Holy Maiden Xuanji can go to the Supreme Holy Palace within the entire Lotus Pavilion. We can’t.” Li Piaomiao gave a wry smile.

He is only a half-saint now and is completely unqualified to go to the Dao Palace.

"Therefore, if the Dao Palace really allows you to enter and cultivate there for half a year, then you definitely can't miss it."

"Alright, I understand." Gu Jiancheng nodded.

“Jian Cheng, please forgive your master for not telling you about the Lotus Pavilion and the Supreme Holy Dao Palace before. Sometimes, for your master, I don’t know much more than you do.”

Li Piaomiao then said in a deep voice, "However, remember this, your master will never harm you."

"Understood." Gu Jiancheng nodded.

In fact, he had just realized that Li Piaomiao's status was not even as high as that of the Holy Maiden Xuanji, so what secrets could he possibly know?

"By the way, Master, your Free and Easy Technique is somewhat similar to Senior Drunkard's supernatural power?"

Gu Jiancheng suddenly asked a question.

In fact, Gu Jiancheng had been very curious about it since yesterday.

He knew about Li Piaomiao's carefree technique. Although almost no one could harm him at the same level, this so-called invincibility was far too passive.

But alcoholics are different.

The drunkard, however, could amplify the supernatural power while absorbing it, and unleash it again!

That's incredible!

Gu Jiancheng had never seen such a method before.

"That's inevitable!"

Li Piaomiao leaned closer mysteriously, then whispered, "You should know that this is the ruins of an ancient holy land, so it's not hard to guess that Senior Drunken Ghost is a cultivator from this ancient holy land!"

"He is a true saint, and that Qiankun Law is the top-level inheritance of the ancient holy land!"

"Even my carefree technique was actually taught by the drunkard senior, only the carefree technique is of a lower grade."

"If you're interested, why not ask them for advice!"

"If you truly cultivate the Qiankun Technique, you'll understand!"

"The Qiankun Technique!?" Upon hearing this, Gu Jiancheng's eyes darted around. If that was the case, he really would have to try and get his hands on the Qiankun Technique.

Immediately, Gu Jiancheng headed straight for the depths of the sect and finally found the drunkard sleeping soundly under a crooked tree, holding a wine gourd.

"senior?"

Gu Jiancheng stepped forward, but after calling out several times, the drunkard still did not wake up.

Helpless, Gu Jiancheng had no choice but to spend a large sum of money to exchange for a jar of fine wine from the system.

This jar of fine wine cost Gu Jiancheng 3,000 affection points, which can be described as a huge expense.

Sure enough, the moment Gu Jiancheng opened the wine jar, the drunkard under the tree suddenly jumped up, his eyes automatically fixed on the wine jar.

"Good wine!"

"Kid, give it to me right now!"

“Senior, this jar of wine is the only jar of Hundred Flowers Jade Dew that I have treasured!” Gu Jiancheng put the jar away.

"You brat, such good wine, and you have no chance to enjoy it!"

"Putting it in your possession would be a complete waste!"

The drunkard scratched his head in frustration, but seeing that Gu Jiancheng remained unmoved, he finally said, "Fine, you brat, just tell me what you want!"

"Hehe, then this junior will be frank. I want... Senior's Qiankun Technique?" Gu Jiancheng chuckled.

"what?"

"You want the Qiankun Technique?!" Upon hearing this, the old drunkard's expression changed drastically.

"Every time, you seem to be in a difficult position, senior?" Gu Jiancheng's heart sank upon seeing this.

Is it possible that a jar of fine wine can't be obtained through deception?

"This……"

The old drunkard paced back and forth for a long while before frowning and saying, "The Qiankun Method is a secret that is not passed down in our holy land."

“But now, your talent is indeed suited to this inheritance.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiancheng was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Senior, rest assured, this disciple will certainly be able to carry forward and promote this Qiankun Technique!"

"Stop with your sweet talk, you brat. You can learn the Qiankun Technique, but only if you can increase the size of the Taiji Sect to ten thousand people!"

“Otherwise, even if you give me ten jars of this fine wine, I will not pass it on to you!” But the old drunkard said seriously.

"To elevate the Taiji Sect to a size of ten thousand?"

Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow and asked, "Senior, is there any connection between these two?"

"I said there's a connection, and there is!" the drunkard said, stroking his beard. "What's wrong with that?!"

"Well, alright then..." Gu Jiancheng nodded, and then could only leave behind a jar of fine wine before departing.

In short, he spent three thousand affection points and got nothing in return.

Once Gu Jiancheng returned to the Langhuan Space, he summoned everyone over.

He first informed everyone that the Holy Dao Palace would be holding the Holy Domain Prodigy Competition.

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but get excited.

Although the Heavenly Pride Competition is mainly a contest between the top 100 geniuses on the Heavenly Ranking, this group of top talents from the Taiji Sect also possess the strength of those on the Heavenly Ranking!

Naturally, they wanted to stand out in the Heavenly Pride Competition.

"Furthermore, we need to recruit disciples as soon as possible so that the Taiji Sect can reach a scale of 10,000 people in a short period of time!"

Gu Jiancheng continued.

"Ten thousand people in a short period of time?"

Everyone looked at each other in shock when they heard this.

This is not an easy thing.

“We have been recruiting disciples all along, but for the past two weeks, no one dared to join our Taiji Sect because of the three holy lands.”

"But after yesterday's events, with Lotus Pavilion and Saint Realm experts as our backers, recruiting disciples should be much easier."

“But in a month, I’m afraid we can only recruit five thousand people,” Shen Ruyue said.

"Five thousand?"

Gu Jiancheng frowned, then shook his head. "That's still far from enough. Does anyone have any good suggestions? Please feel free to offer them."

But everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and for a moment no one dared to tell a story.

They're good at cultivation or fighting, but they're really not good at recruiting people.

"Sect Master, perhaps I have a way!"

But at this moment, Feng Yunxiao suddenly spoke.

"I just don't know if the sect leader is willing to take them in."

"Yunxiao, please speak freely!" Gu Jiancheng looked over.

"The descendants of villains and ruthless killers!" Feng Yunxiao took a deep breath and said, "The villains and ruthless killers have been suppressed by the three holy lands for so long that they can only live a wretched life in the shadows of the Holy Domain. They are a fairly large group!"

"If possible, at least five thousand people are absolutely no problem!"

"The descendant of villains?" Upon hearing this, Gu Jiancheng's eyes flashed instantly.

Immediately, he slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "How could I have forgotten about that?!"
