Chapter 1174: Chapter 1174: Jade Ring’s First Master, Ling Qiong

Inside the room, Gu Jin rummaged through drawers and cabinets, anxiously searching for something.

The beautiful figure in red stood at the doorway, calmly observing her every move.

Until Gu Jin found a book, her pupils slightly widening.

Found it!

Life Reviving Pill, defy the heavens and change fate, snatch someone from King Yan.

Once this pill is consumed, even if a person has no breath left, they can wrest their life back from King Yan by taking this pill.

Gu Jin clutched the book that documented the Life Reviving Pill, her fingers gripping tightly.

Scanning ten lines at a glance, she memorized the Elixir Recipe by heart, firmly clutching the book while searching for the required herbs in the room.

The herbs recorded in it were not just rare; Gu Jin had neither heard of nor seen them before.

Yet, she did not give up, patiently searching within the room.

Some completed Spirit Grass recorded in the book, she did find several in the room.

As for most of the missing Spirit Grass, she could only find seeds inside the room.

Even if these seeds were planted, they would need at least hundreds, some even thousands, or tens of thousands of years to be effective.

The hope on Gu Jin’s face shattered completely at that moment, leaving her in utter despair.

There was a single thought in her mind: Xiao An cannot be allowed to come to harm; it absolutely cannot happen!

Gu Jin’s gaze turned dark and frantic, as she slowly stepped towards the Alchemy Furnace.

She recalled reading a book that mentioned one could sacrifice oneself for alchemy, and if the heart was sincere, the resulting elixir would have even greater efficacy.

As if perceiving her thoughts, the red-robed figure at the doorway gently frowned and finally spoke.

"The Life Reviving Pill is useless for him."

The voice was clear and had an inexplicable sense of detachment.

"Who?!"

Gu Jin abruptly looked up, scanning the empty room, finally locking her gaze towards the doorway.

The voice just now came from that direction.

However, the doorway was now empty.

Gu Jin’s pale face flashed with anger, her brows furrowing tightly: "Who is playing tricks?"

"I am here."

The red-robed figure’s Divine Soul manifested.

Seeing the figure at that moment, Gu Jin’s expression slightly changed, and her vigilance rose swiftly.

For so many years, she had never discovered that there was someone else in the space, which was a rather unsettling realization.

Moreover, she couldn’t even discern whether the ethereal figure was male or female.

The voice was somewhat gender-neutral.

The red-robed figure walked slowly towards Gu Jin with light, easy steps.

"I am the first owner of this Jiezhi Space; my name is Ling Qiong."

The voice was hoarse yet pleasant, now unmistakably a man’s voice, clearer than before.

The alertness in Gu Jin’s eyes did not diminish after Ling Qiong’s words.

Her eyes assessed the approaching man, suspicion crossing her brows: "If I remember correctly, this Jiezhi Space is only passed down to women, not men."

Ling Qiong stood before Gu Jin, nodding in agreement.

"That’s correct, it was a gift I gave my Dao companion back in the day."

He stretched out a long, fair hand, more beautiful than a woman’s, and gently tapped the Alchemy Furnace beside him.

The Alchemy Furnace shimmered slightly with golden light, and as if conscious, it suddenly shrank, ascending into the air, circling around Ling Qiong once.

It was an inanimate object, yet Gu Jin could feel a sense of exuberant joy emanating from the Alchemy Furnace.

To her, everything in front of her felt surreal.

She never knew the Alchemy Furnace had such abilities, to become larger or smaller.

"Behave!" Ling Qiong gently knocked on the furnace’s wall.

It quivered again, circled Ling Qiong once more, and then returned to its original position and size.
