Chapter 150 The Mysterious Flame Manual, Jiang Yu So Angry She Wants to Hit Someone
"Hall Master!"
"Mm."
Jiang Yu responded neither warmly nor coldly, fully focused on guiding the Liu Ruyan sisters in their study of formations.
A few strands of hair brushed past her flawless profile, adding a trace of mortal softness to her divinely noble aura.
She's angry… Gu Qing moved closer and also pretended to study formations with full concentration.
Although he wanted very much to ask whether Jiang Yu had finished refining the divine artifact, asking at a moment like this would guarantee a scolding.
Jiang Yu waited for a long time. Seeing that Gu Qing did not mention the artifact at all and instead seemed deeply absorbed in the profundities of formations, anger began rising sharply from the depths of her heart.
Gu Qing had asked her to refine a divine artifact without so much as a proper attitude befitting someone requesting a favor.
She had spent immense effort refining the artifact, yet Gu Qing had no awareness of this and not even one word of praise. Was he waiting for her to personally present the artifact into his hands?
"Hmph."
"You may go back."
Jiang Yu snorted coldly, her stunning divine face darkening slightly.
"Yes, Master!"
As she left, Liu Ruyan shot Gu Qing a gloating look.
She understood perfectly well—Jiang Yu was angry.
Gu Qing had managed to anger the gentle and dignified Jiang Yu; that in itself was a skill. He would definitely not escape punishment.
"You little brat…"
As she walked past, Gu Qing reached out, grabbed her braid, and tugged on it, punishing her for gloating.
If he did not teach the girl a lesson, she would grow too arrogant.
"Bastard." Liu Ruyan was furious and kicked toward him, but Gu Qing dodged and appeared behind Jiang Yu, wearing a calm smile as though he had nothing to do with the braid pulling.
"All right, Sister, let's go. Don't disturb Master."
Liu Ruyi quickly pulled her sister away, her smile full of fondness, and the two hurried out of the hall.
Gu Qing blinked in surprise. When had this goddess-and-demon pair of sisters become so close?
"You're curious about their relationship?"
Jiang Yu turned and rolled her eyes elegantly. "Instead of worrying about them, you should think about how to pay the reward for refining your divine artifact."
Gu Qing fell silent.
Luo Li turning into a grumbling complainer was one thing.
Why did it feel like Jiang Yu had become a complainer too?
Although he had indeed acted a little unreasonably and paying a reward was fair, Jiang Yu lacked nothing.
She treated divine herbs and sacred medicines like trash when giving them to him. Gu Qing truly could not think of anything appropriate to offer her.
And Jiang Yu possessed her innate divine ability of Heavenly Sight and Earth Hearing. Whatever she wanted, she could simply search for it with that ability. Was there anything she could not obtain?
Gu Qing's thoughts turned rapidly. He asked, "Hall Master, have you finished refining it?"
"Of course not," Jiang Yu replied with dignified restraint.
Though in truth, she had finished already.
She had even located two top-ten exotic flames and a piece of Eternal Immortal Gold, refining them into a Mysterious Divine Treasure.
It was tens of thousands of times stronger than any divine artifact.
But only two days had passed, and what she refined was not the divine artifact Gu Qing had requested.
If she admitted it now, she would no longer be able to hide her true abilities.
Hearing her reply, Gu Qing immediately relaxed. "When the Hall Master finishes refining it, it won't be too late for me to provide the reward. I guarantee it will satisfy you."
This was merely an excuse. Giving a reward was impossible—absolutely impossible in this lifetime.
Gu Qing planned to stall for time and first soothe Jiang Yu.
Perhaps after enough time passed, Jiang Yu's anger would fade and she would coax herself back into a good mood.
Jiang Yu did not doubt him and said calmly, "Refining a divine artifact consumes too much mental strength. I have no time. However…"
She shifted the topic, her beautiful eyes softening as they narrowed slightly. "However, I unexpectedly obtained a treasure that surpasses divine artifacts. It is called the Mysterious Flame Manual, and it is countless times stronger than the divine artifact you wanted. Its profundity is extraordinary."
Gu Qing: …
This hurdle was unavoidable.
He did not need to think to know—Jiang Yu had definitely already finished refining it, and had even added other divine metals or exotic flames.
It likely was no longer the divine artifact he originally requested.
But that was fine.
This was exactly what he wanted.
At most, he would just spend more time with Jiang Yu.
"Hall Master, may I take a look first?"
"Here."
With a flick of her wide sleeve, Jiang Yu revealed an exquisite mirror before Gu Qing. It burned with blazing golden flames.
The moment Gu Qing glanced at the golden flame, he felt his soul ignite. His body seemed as though it were melting, the pain unbearable.
A single wisp of flame carried the power to incinerate all things, burning the surrounding space into nothingness.
"Hurry and drip your blood to form the bond," Jiang Yu urged.
"All right."
Gu Qing did as instructed, forcing a drop of essence blood onto the mirror. The treasure erupted instantly with ten thousand streaks of golden light, reducing the surrounding void to nothing.
If Jiang Yu had not sealed the area in time, the entire Star Temple would have suffered.
When the mirror recognized its master, countless strands of information surged into Gu Qing's mind, filling him with ecstatic joy.
The Mysterious Flame Manual was actually refined from Eternal Immortal Gold, and it had been merged with Nine Nether Soulfire and World-Destroying Blackflame.
The Nine Nether Soulfire was a flame of the soul, innately suppressing divine souls while assisting cultivators in refining and strengthening their own.
Legend said the Nine Nether Soulfire was unimaginably mysterious, not existing in the human world at all, but only in the mythical Reincarnation Realm.
As for the World-Destroying Blackflame, it was even more terrifying.
It was said to be the first divine flame born at the dawn of creation, and the companion flame of the primal divine beast Vermilion Bird.
It possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth, burning all laws into nothingness.
These two flames, whether in level or potency, were incomparable to Sun Divine Fire.
Combined with Eternal Immortal Gold as the vessel, and with three divine flames fused into one, the power of this mirror was truly an ultimate killing treasure—absolutely unmatched.
Gu Qing even had a strong intuition: once he unleashed the Mysterious Flame Manual, he could burn a peak Divine Fire Realm expert to death.
Furthermore, the Mysterious Flame Manual was also a supreme cultivation support treasure. It could temper his body, refine his soul, and enhance his cultivation.
And it could continue evolving, possessing limitless potential.
This was truly a heaven-defying treasure capable of changing fate.
In this world, probably only Jiang Yu would be indifferent to such a treasure.
"Thank you for the reward, Hall Master."
Gu Qing put away the Mysterious Flame Manual with excitement, his gaze burning as he looked at Jiang Yu, wanting badly to rush over and kiss her fiercely.
Too good.
Jiang Yu was truly too warm-hearted.
Although he did not lack treasures—he even had several innate spiritual treasures—the innate ones were too precious. Their innate aura could easily be sensed by powerful beings.
This made him afraid to use them at all.
But the Mysterious Flame Manual was not an innate treasure. It carried no innate aura. Despite its high grade, he could use it freely.
"Hmph."
Jiang Yu's delicate earlobes flushed slightly. Being stared at with Gu Qing's intense, fiery gaze made her uncomfortable, as if he might pounce on her at any moment.
Thus she snorted coldly, signaling him to behave.
A grumbling complainer… Gu Qing chuckled.
At this moment, Jiang Yu's expression was peerless in its proud arrogance, tinged with a sweeping majesty—an adorable contrast that made her unexpectedly cute.
"Hall Master, please refine another treasure for me."
Gu Qing's mischievous thoughts immediately resurfaced. He wanted to tease Jiang Yu again, throw the Reincarnation Divine Halberd at her, and run away.
"You brat, get back here!"
Jiang Yu lost her composure. Her delicate figure trembled with anger—she genuinely wanted to hit him.
And she meant it. She acted on it.
If she did not beat Gu Qing at least once, she felt uncomfortable everywhere.
Even a tool should not be exploited this badly.
If she did not explode now, Gu Qing would truly start treating her as a soft, easy-to-bully punching bag.
