Chapter 231 Ability (2/2)

Zhou Yuan activated the Decoder Saint Rune, sending its power searching in Gu Hongyi's body…

Water flowed in the creak, while two figures sat facing each other. The atmosphere was rather peaceful.

An incense stick of time stealthily pa.s.sed as Gu Hongyi gradually became somewhat disappointed. She was still unable to find the eleventh aperture. After some hesitation, she decided to leave her cultivation state.

It was at this moment however, that Zhou Yuan's voice was transmitted into her ears, ”Don't be distracted and do not resist. I will soon begin guiding your Genesis Qi.”

Gu Hongyi frowned deeply, somewhat hesitant. Allowing someone else to guide one's Genesis Qi was extremely dangerous. If the other party had any ill intentions, he could cause havoc with the Genesis Qi, a situation which may even result in one's channels being damaged.

Zhou Yuan seemed to know what was on Gu Hongyi's, and hence did not rush her, but instead patiently waited for her answer. After all, there was nothing he could do without her cooperation.

He could understand Gu Hongyi's hesitation. If he was in her place, he too would not easily allow someone else to direct the flow of Genesis Qi in his body.

This silence lasted for a few dozen breaths, before Zhou Yuan suddenly felt the Genesis Qi in Gu Hongyi's body slow down, as if control had been withdrawn.

”Zhou Yuan, let's see whether you're a liar or someone who truly has ability.” Gu Hongyi's calm voice sounded.

She was a decisive person. Since she had already chosen to place her faith in Zhou Yuan, there was naturally no reason to hesitate anymore. However, if he was lying to her, she would let him know what kind of price there was to pay.

Zhou Yuan secretly sighed in admiration of Gu Hongyi's decisiveness. Without further ado, he began to direct the Genesis Qi in her body.

Genesis Qi flowed along her channels, suddenly speeding up a split second later as it prepared to charge towards a certain point in her body.

Gu Hongyi's body tensed up at this moment, her heart beating rapidly.

Pch!

A faint sound was heard. Next, a stunned Gu Hongyi felt an aperture being forced open in a certain part of her body.

The moment this aperture appeared, the previous ten apertures she had unblocked began to vibrate in resonance.

This response… the answer was already clear, she had found the eleventh aperture!

Zhou Yuan had actually succeeded?!

Gu Hongyi's heart was filled with shock. To think that what she had been unable to accomplish with an entire day of hard work had been completed by Zhou Yuan so quickly.

How had he done it?

Gu Hongyi was so astonished that she even forgot to begin the next step of polis.h.i.+ng the aperture.

”You'll have to polish the aperture yourself, I won't be able to help you in this segment.” Only when Zhou Yuan's voice sounded in her ears did Gu Hongyi return to her senses. She hurriedly began circulating her Genesis Qi, sending wisp after wisp into the aperture to polish it.

Zhou Yuan withdrew his hands, secretly breathing a sigh of relief as he watched Genesis Qi rise around Gu Hongyi. It was fortunate that he had succeeded, or it would not have ended well for him given Gu Hongyi's temper.

”Fifty Genesis jade pieces… looks like I can continue to purchase mist essence, but it's a pity I still can't afford to rent out the Nine Dragons Canon from the Hidden Scriptures House. It seems that I'll have to work harder.” Zhou Yuan sighed inside.

Gu Hongyi was finally done two hours later, the eleventh aperture in her body fully polished, before being infused with mist essence, allowing her to take another step forward towards the first level of the Ethereal Form technique.

Her long eyelashes trembled faintly as she slowly opened her eyes.

Zhou Yuan stood on a rock to her front, and was currently looking at her.

”How is it? You should believe that I'm not a liar now, right?” Zhou Yuan chuckled.

Gu Hongyi blushed slightly, a somewhat complicated expression in her eyes as she looked towards Zhou Yuan. A long while later, she finally responded, ”How did you do it?”

Zhou Yuan offhandedly said, ”My senses are just above average.”

Gu Hongyi did not probe any further. After a slight hesitation, she finally said in a soft voice, ”Thanks.”

She knew that she was the big winner this time. Zhou Yuan had greatly increased her efficiency, something that Zhu Yue would never be able to achieve.

Zhou Yuan waved his hand. ”You provided the money and I provided the effort. Each of us is just fulfilling the other's needs.”

”It's getting late. You may find me here during the next ten days. I'll do my best to let you reach the first level of the Ethereal Form technique before these ten days are over…”

After he finished speaking, he waved as he turned and left in a carefree manner, leaving only the sight of his back.

Gu Hongyi watched him leave as she bit her red lips. It was a long time later before she finally mumbled to herself in a soft voice,

”This guy… does have a little ability after all…”
