I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 736 - 277: Saintess Gu: I Will Help My Lord Defeat Master! The White-Haired Girl’s Second Form!

The Imperial Music Bureau, The Cloudwater Hall.

Ji Lianxing’s clear voice reverberated in the room:

"Jade Reflected Sky Light, Qi Penetrating Spirit Platform, Green Essence Condensing Marrow, Circulation of Meridians."

"Qi flows like a stream, gradually converging into a river, embracing the source and guarding unity, Divine Traveling Eight Desolates..."

Each True Word carried a mysterious meaning, with azure Primordial Qi surging around her like waves.

Opposite her, several figures sat cross-legged on the mats, hearts facing heaven, eyes slightly closed, breathing and resonating with the energy.

Apart from Gu Manzhi and Ye Henshui, the others were women of the Xu Family, Yu’er, Xu Ling’er... even Liu Miaozhi was among them.

Ji Lianxing taught the spell while carefully observing the people before her.

"Hmm, their talents are quite decent."

"Especially Yu’er, although her physique is somewhat ordinary, her soul power and insight are astonishing, and Manzhi has already laid a foundation for her, her progress is rapidly advancing."

Ji Lianxing nodded with satisfaction.

These individuals were meticulously selected by her, each having some foundation, making cultivation less challenging.

The reason for this was not a sudden burst of benevolence but part of her strategic plan.

Currently, the Moon Brilliance Sect was in need of people, and to revitalize the sect, fresh blood was imperative. Having learned from past lessons, she understood that quality was more important than quantity.

Loyalty is far more important than strength.

Therefore, she decided to build her own team from scratch.

"The Xu Family has a special status and may be useful in the future, and this Yu’er has close ties with Chen Mo."

"Thus, the relationship between the Moon Brilliance Sect and Chen Mo will become even closer, increasing the likelihood of retrieving the Azure Darkness Seal."

"Originally it was agreed that Chen Mo would assist in the analysis of the Gu Scripture, and I was responsible for ensuring the safety of the Xu Family. Now I’m teaching them cultivation techniques, giving them at least self-defense capabilities, which is quite reasonable."

"He cannot find fault with it and would even have to thank me!"

Ji Lianxing’s smile widened; she felt she was incredibly clever.

At this point, her eyebrows raised slightly, sensing something, she ceased reciting the spell.

The azure waves receded, and everyone emerged from their meditative state. Ji Lianxing cleared her throat and said, "That’s all for today. Go back and comprehend and digest well. If you have any questions, you can ask Manzhi and Henshui."

"Yes."

"Thank you, Sir."

Everyone bowed their heads in response.

In just a blink of an eye, Ji Lianxing’s figure had vanished.

A moment later, the door opened, and a tall figure walked in, pausing in surprise at the number of people in the room.

"Hmm? What day is today, it’s quite lively."

"Master!"

Yu’er was the first to react, getting up and leaping into his arms like a little deer.

Gu Manzhi and Ye Henshui looked at Chen Mo with delight; given the turbulent situation in the Capital City lately, with Chen Mo at the center of it, they thought he wouldn’t have time to come by for a while.

Chen Mo embraced Yu’er’s slender waist and suddenly sensed something, frowning, "You have broken into the eighth grade?"

Previously, he had provided Yu’er with a cultivation method, and with the personal guidance of Saintess Gu, though her foundation was still shallow, she had barely touched the threshold of the ninth grade. Yet in just a few days, she had already stepped into the eighth grade?

Looking at the others, he saw energy fluctuations around them, with the strongest being Xu Ling’er and Liu Miaozhi, who had already reached the stage of Meridian Opening and Entry-level.

"These days, Master Ji has been guiding our cultivation; everyone made significant progress," Yu’er said with a smile.

"Technician? What technician?" Chen Mo asked curiously.

"That’s Teacher Ji Lianxing," Yu’er explained.

Although they hadn’t formally apprenticed, normally addressing her as Sir, their relationship was virtually that of master and disciple.

?

Chen Mo furrowed his brow, "What is she up to this time?"

If something unusual happens, there’s always a reason.

But given Ji Lianxing’s intelligence, her methods couldn’t be too sophisticated, a bit of pondering quickly clarified the situation.

Was she trying to tie the Xu Family to him to facilitate the rebuilding of the Moon Brilliance Sect?

Liu Miaozhi noticed his expression wasn’t quite right and cautiously asked, "Mr. Chen, is this inappropriate? If you mind, we won’t continue cultivating."

She only knew that Ji Lianxing was Gu Manzhi’s mentor, assumed she was an ally, without much thought... But seeing Chen Mo’s expression, their relationship seemed more complicated.

Chen Mo shook his head, "No problem. The situation in the Capital City is unstable; having more means of self-defense is good."

Ji Lianxing may be a bit foolish, but her strength is undeniable.

Under her careful cultivation, the Xu Family women’s cultivation level will certainly advance rapidly, which isn’t a bad thing.

As for potential future problems...

"Daring to target the Xu Family?"

"If she knew the Xu Family is backed by the Princess, I wonder what her reaction would be?"

Chen Mo’s mouth curled into a cold smile; he was somewhat eager to see Ji Lianxing and Chu Yanli tear into each other.

Liu Miaozhi, seeing that he indeed didn’t look upset, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Since starting cultivation, Liu has looked much healthier, with mature grace permeating her eyes.

Meanwhile, Xu Ling’er and others, whose figures had been frail due to malnutrition, were gradually becoming fuller and more vibrant, like budding flower buds.

"By the way, I have all your records here, and I’ve obtained special documents approved by the Ministry of Rites," Chen Mo said, "Although I can’t free you from servile status, you’re free to leave the Imperial Music Bureau at any time, gaining some freedom."

The room fell silent immediately upon hearing this.
