My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

[System Space]

[Ordinary Spirit Plants +566, Ordinary Weapons +1023]

[Gold +12,000 taels]

[Silver +98,000 taels]

...

The merchant's treasure trove naturally had more common items like these.

But Gu Lan didn't mind.

After all, in this world, all resources could be obtained with money. There was no concept that gold and silver would be as worthless as dirt if the realm was high. Who would complain about having too much money?

Gu Lan covered his face with a veil, and with the Primordial Sword at his feet flickering with light, he quickly headed back to Langzhou City.

At some point, he suddenly felt a gaze on him.

Although the gaze didn't carry any hostility, being noticed at such a time undoubtedly indicated a powerful figure.

Gu Lan reached a conclusion in his mind, not wanting to stir up trouble. He pretended not to notice and continued on his way.

However, the gaze continued to follow him.

Until...

A timely shout came from beside an old locust tree below: "Fellow Daoist, please stay! I've been waiting here for a long time!"

Gu Lan, hearing that someone was waiting for him, stopped and looked back.

Two Daoist priests, one old and one young, walked over together. The young one curiously looked at Gu Lan, while the old one wore a joyful expression.

Gu Lan first observed their cultivation.

Goodness!

This seemingly ordinary old Daoist had already reached the peak of the Immortal Realm! The young Daoist, at such a young age, had the strength of a King!

Taking a look at the whole world, except for himself, there were probably few who could match these two Daoists.

Such powerful individuals should not be from the Jing Nation... Gu Lan pondered, speculating on the origin of these two Daoists.

Suddenly.

He noticed that the old Daoist's pupils were faintly bright, evaluating him from top to bottom.

This seemed to be a unique secret technique introduced in the original work...

After a moment.

Gu Lan's heart moved, and the starry eyes shimmered as he guessed, "Tianji Pavilion, Qi-Insighting Technique?"

Hearing that, both the old and the young Daoists were stunned!

Few people in the world knew about this secret technique!

And someone who could recognize them at a glance and remain calm was definitely not an ordinary person!

"Fellow Daoist can discern our origins with just a glance. You are indeed an extraordinary person!" The old Daoist praised with a smile.

"Then, I won't hide it. Let me introduce myself first. I am Yunlong Daoist, the current Head of Tianji Pavilion."

"This is my apprentice Zhongren... quickly greet Fellow Daoist!"

The young Daoist obediently walked to Gu Lan.

Thinking he was going to bow, Gu Lan didn't expect him to directly kowtow, saying, "apprentice Zhongren pays respects to Fellow Daoist!"

The corner of Gu Lan's mouth twitched, thinking that the etiquette for making friends in Tianji Pavilion was quite sufficient. But hearing the names of these two Daoists, he was somewhat surprised.

Yunlong Daoist, the Head of Tianji Pavilion, was known for calculating everything under the heavens with flawless strategies.

Apart from his peak Immortal Realm strength, his Qi-Insighting Technique, which could calculate the flow of Destiny in the world, was sought after by countless people. Although he was an outsider, the Head of Tianji Pavilion had always been an object that major dynasties and forces desperately wanted to win over!

In the original work, the protagonist later got to know the Head of Tianji Pavilion through chance encounters with Outer Sect apprentices, establishing a connection with him...

However.

Why were they waiting for me here?

Gu Lan looked at the two of them in confusion and said indifferently, "I've heard of Yunlong Daoist's name. May I ask what brings you here today, waiting for me?"

"Fellow Daoist, I want to ask for your help in saving my apprentice's life!"

Yunlong Daoist looked at Gu Lan with sincere eyes, getting straight to the point.

Gu Lan was taken aback for a moment, looking at the young Daoist in front of him with surprise.

The young Daoist also looked at him, his face showing a carefree smile, as if he had already accepted this matter.

It was hard to imagine that this was a child with a short lifespan and an early death!

"Yunlong Daoist, someone of your stature being helpless, I'm afraid I can't help either..." Gu Lan tried to decline.

This was not about refusing to save a life.

Rather, he was afraid that letting someone have hope again and then crushing it would be even more cruel!

"Fellow Daoist, in this world, there are few who can save my apprentice. You happen to be one of them. This is not about cultivation but destiny." The old Daoist shook his head, explaining,

"My apprentice Zhongren has a special constitution. He is the chosen successor of my sect, but the act of calculating the heavens is often envied by fate. If there is no person with great Destiny by his side, his life expectancy will not exceed fifteen years."

Upon hearing this.

Gu Lan understood.

He suddenly remembered that after integrating with the Marvelous Yang Immortal Body some time ago, he had gained another boost of 1,000 points in Destiny! He directly transformed from the white-grade Destiny of an ordinary person to the green-grade.

Destiny, coupled with his peerless cultivation, could shield the person from heavenly tribulations, concealing the destined calamities.

"So, that's the reason." Gu Lan nodded. As he was contemplating, Yunlong Daoist thought he was hesitating and hurriedly added, "Fellow Daoist doesn't need to do much. Just bring my apprentice with you when you go to the capital for the imperial examination next spring."

"With Fellow Daoist's Destiny and the dragon energy of the Great Jing Capital, it will surely obscure the heavenly tribulations."

"As long as Fellow Daoist agrees, my Tianji Pavilion will be your eternal support, and any request from Fellow Daoist will be granted..."

Although favors from Tianji Pavilion were something countless people in the world desired, Gu Lan didn't wait for him to finish and waved his hands, "Daoist, you may have misunderstood. I won't participate in the imperial examinations, nor will I go to the capital next year."

Gu Lan was certain that he would not participate.

Because in this year's Autumn Examination, he planned to submit a blank paper!

That would be safer.

By not getting involved in the struggles of the capital and avoiding the probability of encountering the protagonist, he could stay with his wife in Langzhou City year after year.

Year after year, the Autumn Exams fall short.

Upon hearing this, Yunlong Daoist frowned, counted on his fingers as if calculating something, and then suddenly stopped.

His brows immediately relaxed, and he smiled meaningfully at Gu Lan's puzzled look, "Fellow Daoist, destiny cannot be violated..."

"???" Gu Lan was even more confused by these words. Did destiny differ from my intentions?

"Can Daoist explain in detail?" Gu Lan asked.

Unexpectedly, the old Daoist shook his head and said seriously, "Fellow Daoist, heavenly secrets must not be revealed."

Tianji Pavilion peeked into the heavenly path, calculating the fates of people. It was not uncommon to calculate the lives of a few mortals, but if one were to calculate the fate of a high-level expert and pry into heavenly secrets, it would bring corresponding backlash.

So at this moment, Yunlong Daoist dared only to calculate a few bits of Gu Lan's fate recently and did not dare to speak it out.

The world's setting was quite complete, but it was a bit annoying to only say half of it. Gu Lan nodded helplessly to express his understanding.

"I can agree, but I also have a few things I'd like Daoist to help me solve."

Gu Lan spoke frankly. Since he intended to help them, and they were such a formidable force, merely accepting verbal promises was naturally insufficient.

This way, he wouldn't be at ease.

"Fellow Daoist, please speak!"

Yunlong Daoist felt much more at ease hearing this. He patted his apprentice's hair bun and said generously, "As long as Fellow Daoist is willing to save my apprentice, even if you want the Sea Dragon Scales of the East Sea Dragon King, I am willing to go pluck them for you!"

It was evident that this old Daoist really cared about his apprentice.

"No need for that."

Gu Lan smiled, "I have a prescription on hand. I've heard that Tianji Pavilion is also a gathering place for renowned alchemists in the world, so I'd like to ask Daoist for help."

"No problem!" Yunlong Daoist nodded, "Fellow Daoist, I will personally refine it for you."

Tianji Pavilion was originally a place where both the heavenly path and alchemy were cultivated. Each generation's Head had profound skills in alchemy.

However, because few people in the world could move them, they rarely acted personally.

The Head refining pills...

It was much stronger than an alchemist from any random sect!
