Chapter 807: Turns out he's gotten stronger again.
In the Ancient Secret Palace, the spirit stones that Gu Heng had collected were piled up like a mountain in his system inventory. The key point was that he had collected so many, but he had hardly used any of them.
It's time for him to be a tycoon for once.
"She's only seventeen or eighteen years old, yet she's already made a name for herself and isn't on the list. I've heard of about ten female cultivators who fit your description..."
When the waiter saw the spirit stone, his eyes lit up, and he immediately began to pour out his knowledge, rattling off more than a dozen names.
It's true that he knows a lot.
Unfortunately, Gu Heng did not hear that familiar name.
It seems that Qin Yiyao has not yet risen to fame and is probably still struggling to make a living in the chaotic Central Plains.
It's actually quite reasonable. Since arriving in the desolate city, it's been less than a year. Qin Yiyao said she wanted to go out and explore on her own, which was about the same time. Less than a year seems a bit short.
For him, it may be enough to encounter many major events, and for the world, it may be enough to cause many great changes and upheavals.
But he has a system, while the little girl doesn't. So what can she do with this little bit of time?
Thinking about it this way, Gu Heng became a little annoyed.
He is already a celestial cultivator, and within this Xuan Tian Realm, he may already be considered a strong person. But if his disciple still has to slowly build up his reputation and status, isn't he, as the master, a bit too useless?
"Sir, are you not quite satisfied?"
The waiter noticed Gu Heng's furrowed brows and became a little nervous.
This customer is like a god, not to mention that ten spirit stones are incredibly generous; he really wants to earn this huge sum! "It's not that I'm dissatisfied, but it's not for you, don't worry."
"It's just that I didn't hear the name I wanted to hear."
Gu Heng waved his hand.
"Actually, according to your description, there seems to be another one who fits the description, but I don't think you and she have any connection."
After considering it for a moment, the waiter finally spoke.
"who is it?"
"That is our current Empress!"
The waiter's voice suddenly became excited, but quickly subsided, his face filled with longing and awe for the strong.
"She fits the criteria too?"
Gu Heng felt he had heard something new and became interested.
The Empress of Zhongzhou was quite mysterious. Gu Heng had watched the drama and knew that she started by infiltrating a small Yanluo Kingdom within the Zhongzhou Dynasty, and then, within just six months, she managed to change the Zhongzhou Dynasty's flag and make it take her surname...
Jin Qian had told him all of that.
But that's it.
Gu Heng had no idea what the empress's name was or where she came from.
He seemed to have remarked that, compared to his own disciple, the empress's experiences were quite sensational.
The little girl also has the ambition and potential to become an empress. She even received a system mission from him, asking him to cultivate two "most powerful emperors in the Xuan Tian Realm." He hasn't forgotten that.
Gu Heng just felt it wouldn't be that fast.
"Of course it fits! Although Her Majesty the Empress is still incredibly mysterious, it is said that when she started her military campaigns in Yanluo Kingdom and conquered other countries and territories, she was exceptionally young!"
"Moreover, before that, no one knew her origins, nor why such a powerful figure suddenly appeared in the world." "But who knows? If a cultivator wants to maintain their youth forever, it's an easy thing to do."
The waiter explained in detail: "Moreover, those who are said to have seen Her Majesty the Empress's true face are all important officials from Yanluo Kingdom. Now their power and status have risen accordingly, and they are tight-lipped about Her Majesty's true face, only saying that her appearance is so stunning that it is breathtaking."
"...Heh, so mysterious."
Gu Heng smiled.
This sounds like one of the most popular and talked-about rumors circulating in the streets.
Actually, the waiter didn't say anything that was confirmed; it was all just speculation.
The secret she's trying to hide is one that probably few people in the world have the ability to uncover.
Come to think of it, he was just a waiter; how could he possibly know what secrets the current Empress of Zhongzhou held? Let's just treat it as casual conversation over tea.
Moreover, the empress and his little maid didn't get along at all.
Who knows, in the future, Qin Yiyao might even have to step over the current empress's corpse to ascend to a high position!
"Sigh, which of these powerful figures isn't shrouded in mystery?"
The waiter chuckled and accepted the spirit stones: "That Jue Tian Pavilion is just as mysterious. It's said that there are more than a dozen people inside, all of them immortals, and not just any ordinary immortals!"
"Our dynasty now has quite a few immortals, thanks to Her Majesty the Empress. She carries the fortune of the nation and has become stronger, so all the ministers are blessed."
Gu Heng stroked his chin and asked, "What is the strength of the Imperial Guard's officer?"
"Lord Lu Li, the Chief of the Imperial Guard? He's a tenth-level Yuan Immortal, nicknamed 'Ruthless Iron Face.' The Imperial Guard is incredibly powerful under his command!" The waiter's expression became even more cautious when the Imperial Guard was mentioned.
"Tenth level of the Yuan Immortal realm?"
Gu Heng raised an eyebrow.
Hey, he seems to have gotten a lot stronger.
Because the system deliberately sabotaged him, although Gu Heng had no evidence, he was certain that the system had done something to him, making it difficult for him to judge his own strength level.
I don't know what the intention is.
However, it's not like there's no way to make a judgment at all.
Last time, he relied on a python with the strength of a Xuanxian (a high-level immortal) to understand roughly how strong he was.
However, since then, Gu Heng has never looked for a "reference point" again.
After all, during his time in the Demon Realm, he was mostly engrossed in reading ancient books. The few people he could often meet couldn't be used as a reference, since the omniscience of "omniscient perspective" was still insufficient in Gu Heng's view.
I'm not going to say anything more; it was all the system's doing.
They deserve to be scolded.
"This Imperial Guard Commander is considered a high-ranking official, right? Is he powerful enough? Can he keep order and discipline?"
he asked.
The waiter's eyes widened immediately.
"What do you mean by that, sir? The clerk of the Imperial Guard is already a remarkable figure!"
"In this capital, he can be considered the fifth strongest person. Above him are only the Commander of the Imperial Guard, the Commander of the War Army, the Grand Eunuch, and Her Majesty the Empress!"
Just for a moment.
The waiter felt that the customer he was serving was a bit puzzling.
The fact that he would ask a question like "Is the Imperial Guard Commander strong enough?" is more like he's questioning whether Lord Lu Li is qualified for the position!
Can you say such things casually?
If there is any force within the Central Continent Dynasty that ordinary cultivators would keep at a distance, it would be the Imperial Guard!
This is the first time someone has come to the Central Plains Dynasty, and they certainly have a big mouth.
Moreover, their heart is bigger than their mouth!
The waiter was a little worried that accepting his money might cause him trouble...
