Chapter 42 – Profound change
**Day 14, under your suggestion, Lin Qiushui went to the Cloud Moon Pavilion to manage the business.**
**For the following seven days, Lin Qiushui entered and exited the Yun Residence as usual, encountering no danger, which puzzled you greatly. According to the timeline, she should have mysteriously disappeared from the Cloud Moon Pavilion by now.**
**You realized that history might have changed.**
**The person who abducted Lin Qiushui chose to lay low for some reason.**
Seeing this, Chen Shi was deep in thought.
Lin Qiushui's mysterious disappearance at the Cloud Moon Pavilion was undoubtedly the work of the Mastermind.
This time, he didn't make a move.
There are only three possibilities.
1. The old maid, an insider, tipped them off.
2. The perpetrator discovered the old maid lurking in the shadows and chose not to act.
3. The incident with Elder Wang intimidated the Mastermind, making him afraid to cause trouble again.
Chen Shi believed the last possibility was more likely.
After all, the old maid was a Perfected Innate Realm expert, skilled in stealth tracking. To discover her, it would take a Heaven-Human Powerhouse, and clearly, the Mastermind didn't have that capability yet.
The possibility of betrayal was also low. If such a powerful person were truly an insider, the Mastermind would have killed them a hundred times over by now.
**A month later, Master Gu He visited the Song family, and the Heaven-Human Ancestor came out to greet him.**
**Amidst the shocked gazes of everyone.**
**Master Gu He humbled himself to visit the Yun Residence.**
**Upon learning that you indeed possessed an Earth Grade spirit herb, Master Gu He was ecstatic. He apologized, explaining that he was late because he had been in seclusion refining a batch of alchemy pills. Upon hearing your invitation, he rushed to the Song family overnight.**
**You expressed understanding.**
**Then, you earnestly requested him to refine some longevity pills for you, willing to offer an Earth Grade spirit herb as compensation.**
**Gu He agreed without hesitation.**
**You immediately took out the jade box.**
**Gu He excitedly reached out to receive it, and upon opening it, his eyes widened: "Seven-Star Profound Heaven Leaf! And it's Earth Grade - Mid Quality!"**
**Seeing your puzzled expression, Gu He took the initiative to explain that according to the alchemy records of Medicine King Valley, the Seven-Star Profound Heaven Leaf is the main ingredient for refining the Heaven-Mending Pill. The Heaven-Mending Pill is a divine pill that helps Innate Realm experts break through to the Heaven-Human Realm. Unfortunately, with the decline of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, the Seven-Star Profound Heaven Leaf has been extinct for tens of thousands of years, and even the recipe for the Heaven-Mending Pill has been lost in the annals of history.**
**At the end of his explanation, Gu He sighed, stating that if the Heaven-Mending Pill existed, the number of Heaven-Human experts in the world would be at least three times greater.**
**After hearing Gu He's description.**
**You fell into deep thought.**
**That superpower faction's secret realm ruins, since it has such a spirit herb as the Seven-Star Profound Heaven Leaf, might also have the recipe for the Heaven-Mending Pill. In your previous life, the recipe might have been in Song Fan's hands, but he hid it without revealing it. If you could obtain this recipe and even refine the Heaven-Mending Pill, you could undoubtedly recruit a group of Heaven-Human experts to serve you.**
**By then, any Mastermind would be nothing more than a paper tiger in your eyes.**
**Subsequently, Gu He asked what you needed the longevity pills for, so he could tailor the refinement.**
**You stated that you were cultivating the Five Gates of Heaven.**
**Then, you took out hundreds of Profound Grade spirit herbs from the Ancient Ring for Gu He's use.**
**Gu He was shocked by your generosity. Such a large number of Profound Grade Supreme Spirit Herbs, even Medicine King Valley couldn't produce them. Moreover, he didn't expect you to be cultivating the Five Gates of Heaven, a notoriously difficult technique. However, he didn't comment further, as he realized you were no ordinary person.**
**In the days that followed, you continued to stay in the Yun Residence, cultivating the Five Gates of Heaven, while Gu He, compensated with your Earth Grade spirit herb, stayed at the Yun Residence, working tirelessly to refine longevity pills for you.**
**This event shocked the Song Family Elders.**
**Rumors spread wildly outside.**
**After all, as the only Sixth-Grade Profound Alchemist of the time, Gu He's every move caused a huge sensation. Indeed, since Gu He settled in the Song family, countless Innate Realm experts, and even Heaven-Human experts, traveled from afar to visit.**
**All they sought was a batch of alchemy pills.**
**However, Gu He refused to meet them, citing his focus on alchemy.**
**To avoid disturbing Master Gu He's alchemy, the Song family decided to close their doors to visitors.**
**Even so, these people dared not express any dissatisfaction, nor did they leave. Instead, they stayed in Liangzhou City.**
**During this time, as the male owner of the Yun Residence, you received hundreds of spirit stones in just a few days, all bribes from those hoping you'd pass a message to Gu He.**
**This left you greatly astonished.**
**The status of a Sixth-Grade Profound Alchemist was indeed so high!**
**With the Song family closing their doors, the Yun Residence returned to peace.**
**Five months later, Song Fan returned, looking at you as if you were a deity.**
**Then, he respectfully presented a scroll.**
**You did not accept it.**
**Instead, you looked at Song Fan meaningfully: "Old sir, could you come out and meet me?"**
**Hearing this, Song Fan looked at you with even more respect.**
**After a long while.**
**Song Fan hesitantly explained that his master was asleep and couldn't meet you.**
**Your heart skipped a beat, secretly thinking that Song Fan indeed had an Old Grandpa with him, but you remained calm, indicating for Song Fan to keep the scroll. This was a chance you prepared for him, and you assured him that when entering the secret realm this time, you would arrange some helpers for him...**
**That day, Song Fan, with Low-Grade Silver Bones, entered the Alpha Battalion.**
**Shortly after, Nangong Wan came under your command to serve...**
**Six months later, a demon uprising occurred in the Hundred-Thousand Great Mountains. Led by several Demon Emperors, they massacred two cities and dozens of towns at the Liangzhou borderlands, leaving over a million civilians as blood sacrifices. Emperor Wei was furious, ordering the Song family to counteract and quell the rebellion swiftly.**
**That day, four Heaven-Human Ancestors of the Song family emerged and rushed to the Liangzhou borderlands.**
Seeing this, Chen Shi's heart skipped a beat.
A demon uprising!
And a Heaven-Human Realm Demon Emperor at that!
In previous simulations, such an event had never occurred!
