"Miss…" Standing beside and seeing everything that she had done, the female attendant hesitated before saying, "Aren"t you treating this Miss Hou… a bit too well…"
"Too well?"
Hearing the female attendant"s words, Gao Yue laughed before turning and asking, "Really?"
"Yes," the female attendant nodded before saying seriously, "Miss, you"ve never acted like this before and went through such efforts this time…"
"Indeed…"
Hearing those words, Gao Yue laughed and nodded, "Before, I"ve never done such a thing, but this person is different."
"What"s different about her?" The female attendant felt quite confused, "She"s just a Foundation Building cultivator…"
To others, a Foundation Building cultivator might be quite powerful, but to the Flowing Cloud Sect, a mere Foundation Building cultivator was not much. The Flowing Cloud Sect had plenty of them.
This was even more so to Gao Yue.
With Gao Yue"s status, ordinary Foundation Building cultivators were nothing in front of her.
Only those people at the peak of Foundation Building or at Profound Understanding could catch her attention.
As such, it was strange that she would take such notice of an ordinary Foundation Building cultivator and do so much for her.
"Perhaps I"m treating her well…"
Hearing the female attendant"s words, Gao Yue laughed and said, "I"m just sowing some good karma."
"If it"s just sowing good karma, wouldn"t it be better for you to directly tell the Zhang clan"s clan leader?" the female attendant continued to ask.
Gao Yue looked over and flicked the female attendant"s head before smiling, "Who said the one I wanted to establish a connection to was the Zhang clan"s clan leader? The one I see as important is Miss Hou.
"If I directly went to inform the Zhang clan"s clan leader, Miss Hou might just directly die in the Flowing Cloud Sect. What point would there be?
"But she"s just a Foundation Building cultivator, and her talent…" the female attendant frowned and paused.
Indeed, from how she saw it, Hou Juan"s cultivation was far too ordinary and could even be said to be trash.
For Hou Juan to successfully reach Foundation Building, it was all because of the ma.s.sive amounts of spirit materials that the Zhang clan"s clan leader had given her, as well as the demonic technique.
Even though she had been able to reach Foundation Building, it was not likely that she would have much hope of progression.
She did not understand and looked at Gao Yue.
"You don"t understand."
In response, Gao Yue only smiled and said, "Within her body is ma.s.sive potential. Once it is activated, she might be able to reach Profound Understanding. In fact, there is even hope for her to surpa.s.s Profound Understanding. When that time comes, we will make returns on the investment we have made today."
Speaking to there, she paused, as if she thought of something, and a somewhat complicated expression appeared in her eyes.
"Forget it…"
In the end, she shook her head and left.
Time gradually pa.s.sed.
Three days later, at a certain moment, Hou Juan slowly opened her eyes in the prison.
Outside, sounds could be heard, together with strange ripples.
A certain feeling appeared in her heart as if it was urging her to do something.
"Has it begun?" sensing the disturbances from outside, she muttered to herself.
By now, it had been three days, and it was approaching the agreed time with Gao Yue.
In other words…
Bang!
At that moment, a clear explosion sounded out.
Hearing this, Hou Juan no longer hesitated and got up as she took something out.
It was a golden medicinal pill covered with intricate inscriptions, looking quite special.
A faint medicinal fragrance spread out, filling the surroundings.
Before she even consumed it, just smelling this fragrance, it seemed to cause the magic energy within her body to become active.
Her sealed magic energy was unleashed, and it gave her a warm feeling.
"One Qi Pill…"
Looking at the golden medicinal pill in her hand, Hou Juan lightly sighed and did not hesitate before consuming it.
Boom!
An explosion blasted out.
The moment she consumed the One Qi Pill, a warm current blasted out within her body.
Ma.s.sive spirit energy appeared in her body, circulating around her body with her bloodstream.
Hou Juan silently closed her eyes, using all of her focus to control that terrifying power.
After consuming the One Qi Pill, the energy within her body was too powerful, and if she was not careful, she would explode.
"I haven"t seen Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang yet! I definitely can"t die here because of this!"
Standing there, her expression was savage as she inwardly screamed.
Blood began to leak out of her body, staining her clothes.
As the medicinal energy from the pill exploded out, wounds all over her body were opening.
After a while, Hou Juan deeply breathed in and opened her eyes.
In that short period of time, she had been able to suppress that berserk and suffocatingly terrifying energy in her body.
She had also broken free of the restrictive runes and regained her magic energy.
It was now time.
