Chapter 939 - 493: Regulating Breath (Part 2)

Qingmu said with a smug look on his face.

"Yes! Compensation!"

The Turquoise Pool Immortal scolded coldly.

"It wasn’t me, why should I compensate?"

Er Gou shouted defiantly.

At this moment, several guards stepped forward, drawing their blades and surrounding Er Gou.

When Er Gou saw the gleaming steel blades, he was so frightened that he didn’t dare to make a sound.

If any guard lost his temper and swung the blade down, his life would truly be in peril.

"Hurry up and compensate, otherwise you might not keep your life."

Qingmu sneered from the side.

"Compensation?"

Gu Sheng snorted coldly and directly took out the Hand Split Stone.

The Turquoise Pool Immortal’s eyes lit up upon seeing the Hand Split Stone.

She hadn’t expected that the seemingly ordinary Gu Sheng would have such a rare stone in his possession.

"I have a Source Stone, but I won’t compensate, because we didn’t do this!"

Gu Sheng said coldly, while glancing over at Qingmu.

The Turquoise Pool Immortal angrily rebuked Gu Sheng, "If that’s the case, then leave immediately; the Spirit Stone Square does not welcome you."

Just as Gu Sheng was about to argue, the Turquoise Pool Immortal had already begun channeling her Divine Power, preparing to act personally.

"Sizzle!"

However, as soon as she started channeling her Divine Power, her face turned pale, and her body swayed slightly.

Gu Sheng saw that the Turquoise Pool Immortal was about to fall and immediately stepped forward to support her.

"Immortal, are you okay?"

The Turquoise Pool Immortal looked extremely unwell, but she forced herself to stand steady and waved her hand, "I’m fine, you should leave quickly."

With furrowed brows, Gu Sheng sensed an abnormal fluctuation in the Turquoise Pool Immortal’s Divine Power, as if she were being repressed by something.

His heart stirred; could it be that the Turquoise Pool Immortal was also affected by the Goblin Source Stone?

"Immortal, we mean no harm, we’re just looking for a Source Stone that is crucial to our village."

Gu Sheng said earnestly.

The Turquoise Pool Immortal looked at Gu Sheng, puzzled.

She was silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "The Source Stone you’re seeking, could it be the Goblin Source Stone?"

Gu Sheng was startled; he didn’t expect the Turquoise Pool Immortal to directly identify their objective.

"Yes, Immortal, that Source Stone is crucial to our village. We are willing to exchange it at any cost, and... I can help restore your health."

Gu Sheng said resolutely.

The Turquoise Pool Immortal gave Gu Sheng a deep look, seemingly weighing her options.

"Alright!"

The Turquoise Pool Immortal nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing her answer, Gu Sheng let out a long breath, "Thank you for your trust, Immortal."

With that, Gu Sheng suddenly channeled his Divine Power.

Instantly, a "Yuan" the size of a Chinese parasol seed appeared in his hand.

"Give me your hand."

Gu Sheng said to the Turquoise Pool Immortal.

The Turquoise Pool Immortal hesitated for a moment but extended her delicate hand.

Seeing this, those around cast envious looks at Gu Sheng.

"This guy is really lucky, even holding the Immortal’s hand!"

"If only it were me, it would be the honor of a lifetime."

"My dream lover..."

But at this moment, Gu Sheng had no such thoughts.

After placing the "Yuan" in the Turquoise Pool Immortal’s hand, it immediately absorbed into her body.

"Relax, Immortal. I will aid you."

Gu Sheng’s voice was calm, providing the Turquoise Pool Immortal with enough security.

The Turquoise Pool Immortal looked at Gu Sheng in surprise. She couldn’t understand how such an ordinary young man could emit such an aura.

Then, she nodded to signify her agreement.

Gu Sheng gently placed his hand on the Turquoise Pool Immortal’s back, activating the mysterious maternal energy within himself.

This highly pure energy has extraordinary effects on recovery and healing.

Coupled with the assistance of the "Yuan," a miracle was bound to occur!

"Sizzle!"

As Gu Sheng slowly infused his Divine Power, the Turquoise Pool Immortal’s complexion gradually regained some color.

The chaotic energy within her began to settle, and the force that discomforted her seemed to fade slowly.

...

In less than half a tea’s time, the Turquoise Pool Immortal had fully regained her complexion.

"Thank you, young master."

The Turquoise Pool Immortal spoke weakly.

Though her voice was quiet, it no longer trembled as before.

Gu Sheng withdrew his hand with a slight smile, "No need for thanks, Immortal, it’s what I should do."

The Turquoise Pool Immortal stood up, her condition much stabilized.

She looked at Gu Sheng, her eyes full of gratitude, "What is your name, young master?"

"I am Gu Sheng."

Gu Sheng replied with a gentle smile.

"Young Master Gu Sheng, your Divine Power is extraordinary. I owe you a favor, and as for the Goblin Source Stone, I will keep my promise."

The Turquoise Pool Immortal said as she directly summoned her attendants to fetch the Goblin Source Stone.

The surrounding people started discussing as they saw the Turquoise Pool Immortal recovering.

"It seems this young man indeed has some skills, even able to assist the Turquoise Pool Immortal."

"Yes, it seems we underestimated him before."

"Now the Qingxia Sect has lost face; they even wronged the poor guy."

Qingmu and Qing Lei’s faces were extremely unpleasant.

They didn’t expect Gu Sheng to actually be able to help the Turquoise Pool Immortal.

Qing Shan had a complex expression, feeling a mix of emotions as he looked at Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng paid no mind to the surrounding gossip, but turned to Er Gou and Shi Lou, speaking softly, "Be careful in the future, steer clear of those unscrupulous types, or you might get caught in their mess when they face retribution."

"Yes, Brother Sheng."

Er Gou and Shi Lou both nodded in agreement.

Hearing these words, Qingmu and his group felt utterly embarrassed.

They felt as if Gu Sheng had metaphorically slapped them in the face.

Seizing this opportunity, Gu Sheng asked the Turquoise Pool Immortal with a smile, "Immortal, how did you know I came for the Goblin Source Stone?"

"You might not know it, but our Yaochi Holy Land has a unique sensitivity to Source Ore. You carry similar energy to the Goblin Source Stone, so I deduced it."

The Turquoise Pool Immortal explained with a smile as well.

Upon hearing this answer, Gu Sheng suddenly had newfound admiration for the Turquoise Pool Immortal.

He hadn’t expected her to be not only beautiful but also exceptionally wise.

Meanwhile, several eyes filled with anger were glaring at them.

"Brother Qingmu, they are talking about the Goblin Source Stone, that’s the Spirit Vein of our Qingxia Sect!"

Qing Lei whispered beside him.

"I know, but since we haven’t seen the Goblin Source Stone, it’s hard to verify its authenticity. Don’t rush, let’s wait and see."

Qingmu whispered in reassurance.

After a moment, an attendant from the Spirit Stone Square returned with a box.

After receiving the box, the Turquoise Pool Immortal gently opened it and asked Gu Sheng, "Is this what you were looking for?"

When Gu Sheng looked inside, he found his missing Goblin Source Stones!

"Yes, yes, it’s these."

Gu Sheng replied with a hint of excitement.

The Turquoise Pool Immortal smiled, returning all the Goblin Source Stones to Gu Sheng.

"Alright! You dared to mess with the Goblin Source Stone! Do you know it’s the Spirit Vein of our Qingxia Sect!"

At this moment, Qing Lei suddenly stood out, scolding coldly.

Gu Sheng was momentarily stunned, realizing his carelessness.

He should have had Qingmu and the others leave before confirming the Goblin Source Stone; now that they knew, they wouldn’t let it slide.

The Turquoise Pool Immortal intervened, standing protectively in front of Gu Sheng.

"These Goblin Source Stones were given to Gu Sheng by me. If you want trouble, you’ll find it with the Yaochi Holy Land."

The Turquoise Pool Immortal said coldly.

Qingmu’s face changed; he didn’t have the guts to oppose the Yaochi Holy Land.

It was an even more powerful existence than the Qingxia Sect.

He quickly changed his expression, pretending to apologize, "Immortal, we wouldn’t dare oppose the Yaochi Holy Land; it’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

"Hmph!"

The Turquoise Pool Immortal snorted coldly, "Then what did you mean by saying you’d find trouble with Young Master Gu Sheng?"

"It’s my cousin who’s ignorant of the rules."

With that, Qingmu glared at Qing Lei and said, "Let’s go, we’re leaving!"

With that, the group from the Qingxia Sect left the Spirit Stone Square.
