I didn't expect that I was the heartthrob.

Although dissatisfied, Gu Lan still picked it seriously.

She decided to pick one for her junior brother. The junior brother was everyone's favorite, so everyone would have no objection if she picked a gift for him.

Gu Lan selected a small and exquisite alchemy furnace. The furnace was only half a person's height when placed on the ground. At this height, the junior brother could also reach it and check it at any time while refining the elixir.

After completing the selection, one had to register with Mu Heyu, so Gu Lan went downstairs and found Mu Heyu at the registration office to register.

Baoyin was doing odd jobs beside Mu Heyu. When she saw Gu Lan coming over with an alchemy furnace, she was surprised and asked, "You are a sword cultivator. Why don't you choose a sword but an alchemy furnace?"

"It's for my junior brother."

Gu Lan handed the alchemy furnace to Mu Heyu and asked him to make a record.

"You have a junior brother who practices alchemy? I thought all of you in Qianji Sect practice swordsmanship."

“Not all the people in Qianji Sect in the past were sword practitioners,” Mu Heyu reminded.

Gu Lan glanced at Mu Heyu and found that Qianji Sect had indeed practiced all kinds of things in the past.

"Why don't you pick a sword for yourself? Isn't your sword broken?" Baoyin said worriedly, "Besides, you still have to travel."

Gu Lan shrugged, "It's okay, I'll go to the market and buy one to use once I leave Tianyin Sect."

Baoyin was so shocked that her eyes widened. Aren't sword cultivators very familiar with magic weapons? Why did she seem to be indifferent?

Mu Heyu finished the registration and took out a sword from the mustard bag. The sword was much better than the one Gu Lan had before. The streamlined sword body was three fingers wide and it was chilling under the sunlight.

"I got this by chance when I was traveling before. I am a sound practitioner and don't need it, so I wanted to find someone who is destined to give it to me one day. You saved my life, so now I give this sword to you."

Gu Lan reached out to take it, and the sword hummed softly. Gu Lan raised his eyebrows. This sword seemed a little happy?

"It seems you have a connection with him. When I held this sword, I felt nothing."

"Well, I'd rather obey than be disrespectful. I'll take this sword."

"As long as you like it." Mu Heyu smiled faintly and handed the alchemy furnace to her again. "It's registered. Although this alchemy furnace is only for the foundation-building period, it can be seen that it is of good quality. With this alchemy furnace, my junior brother's cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds."

"Thank you." Gu Lan liked it very much. She had no idea whether it was good or bad. She just liked it and thought the alchemy furnace was of a suitable size, so she took it. After listening to Mu Heyu's praise, she put the alchemy furnace into the mustard seed bag.

Others also came out one after another and each chose the treasure they liked.

After the Yongle Town incident ended, the Shenyin Sect sent a secret letter to call them back.

The people from Xuantian Sword Sect and Tianyan Sect all stayed. They decided to exchange ideas in Tianyin Sect. Although they practiced different internal skills, it was still necessary for them to learn from each other.

So everyone stayed in Tianyin Sect for several days.

Although the Tianyin Sect was a large sect, it also practiced flattery and bullying. Disciples from other sects were all treated well and lived in much better courtyards than Gu Lan's.

Gu Lan was not angry. It was better to live in a remote place, where it would be quieter and he could practice better. So Gu Lan happily meditated on the stone cliff in the backyard every night for the past few nights.

The spiritual energy of Tianyin Sect is a little worse than that of Tianyan Sect, but it is as good as that of Qianji Sect. Gu Lan was in a good mood and took the opportunity to temper his tendons and meridians. That night, Gu Lan refined the spiritual energy and stored it in his Dantian, and then drew out the spiritual energy of the fire spirit root to temper it. When the Ren and Du meridians were tempered by the spiritual fire, Gu Lan suddenly woke up from his meditation.

With a swish, Gu Lan's sleeve tore.

It turned out that her tendons had been tempered, and the strong tendons could not be controlled for a moment, and they bulged up, tearing her sleeves.

Gu Lan pinched the torn sleeve and frowned. It was over. He had to spend money to buy clothes again.

After feeling sorry for the money, Gu Lan was surprised to find that although the spiritual energy in his dantian was still only the size of a peach, its density was higher.

Although he has not yet broken through, the spiritual energy in his dantian is so abundant and surging that it has far exceeded that of a disciple in the foundation-building stage.

She stretched herself and saw the bright moon hanging high in the sky, with twinkling stars. There were waves beneath her feet, and she was in a very good mood. She did not practice swordplay, which was a rare occasion. Instead, she stretched out her feet and sat on a shallow shore under the cliff. She put her feet in the sea and let the sea water gently caress the backs of her feet.

Thinking of the black bead that the Demon Lord had given him before, Gu Lan took out the bead, held it up to the moon, and looked at it over and over again, but couldn't make out anything special. So he imitated what was done in the novel and dripped a few drops of blood on it.

It's written like this in novels: when you encounter a treasure, it's best to acknowledge its owner by dropping blood on it.

The black bead did absorb her blood, but there was no movement. Gu Lan was a little disappointed.

What a broken bead! Gu Lan wanted to throw it away, but after thinking about it, she decided to keep it.

He took out a conch and a scale from the space ring.

Although the scale was away from the mirror, it was still very vivid and sparkling in the moonlight. The brilliant brilliance made Gu Lan unable to let it go. After playing with it for a long time, Gu Lan put the scale back into the space ring. In the space ring, Gu Lan made a jewelry storage box and put the scale away solemnly.

There was a conch at hand, and Gu Lan remembered Jing Lian once said that if you want to see him, you can blow the conch to summon him. Gu Lan wanted to know whether he had successfully escaped and whether he was doing well now, so he blew the conch.

The sound of the conch is like the cry of a whale, ethereal and profound. An invisible wave of sound dives into the sea and disappears in an instant.

After the conch shell sounded, there were still only ripples on the sea surface under the moonlight, and there was no unusual phenomenon. Gu Lan blew it again. At this time, Gu Lan saw the sea surface suddenly surged violently. After a while, several mermaids jumped out of the sea. They were holding tridents, and the tridents flashed coldly in the moonlight.

Gu Lan was startled and quickly put the conch down.

This, instead of attracting Jing Lian, attracted many merman guards. What should I do?

Just when Gu Lan thought he was in trouble and was about to run away, he saw a golden-green light flashing on the surface of the waves, and Jing Lan emerged from the light.

The moonlight shone slowly on the handsome man lying in the waves, giving him a hazy divine glow.

Gu Lan swallowed his saliva and stared blankly at Jing Lian walking towards him on the waves.

Gu Lan came back to his senses only after Jing Lian sat next to him.

"What are you looking at so seriously?" Jing Lian asked knowingly.

Gu Lan laughed and said she was just looking at the moonlight. Jing Lian didn't expose her, but just put his tail in the water and swung.

The waves caressed his beautiful tail, which shone brightly and was dazzling. Gu Lan was fascinated by it and couldn't help asking, "Can I touch it?"

Jing Lian froze for a moment, and a very suspicious blush appeared on his face.

The mermaid's tail is the most sensitive part, and when they caress each other, they stroke each other's tails.
