Chapter 3: Seventh-Grade Alchemy!

"What position do you place me, your husband, in?"

"We are already married, yet you cannot restrain your own heart!"

Gu Fei's voice was low and harsh.

Xun Er looked up, gazing at the indifferent Gu Fei.

She wanted to explain, but she could not say a single word.

In many things, Gu Fei was right.

Since she had married, she should have automatically distanced herself from other men.

It was just that she had been too willful and had not considered Gu Fei's feelings at all.

Or rather, it was not that she had not considered them.

It was that she had never cared.

【Ding, Xun Er experiences panic and emotional breakdown, Emotion Value +300】

"That's enough, no need to say more, let's just divorce!"

"Since you are unwilling to give your body to me, then I will set you free!"

Gu Fei watched Xun Er before him quietly, saying this without a ripple of emotion.

"I..."

Xun Er opened her mouth; she had almost wanted to say "I can give my body to you" at that moment.

However, the words reached her lips, but for certain reasons, she stopped.

"Am I really that unworthy of your trust?"

Looking at the resolute Gu Fei, Xun Er's face turned pale, and she felt a wave of distress in her heart.

【Ding, Xun Er experiences sadness, pain, and shame, Emotion Value +300】

"What about you is worthy of my trust?"

Gu Fei retorted with a question.

"I... I..."

Xun Er felt as if her brain had short-circuited; she could not utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"Fine... let's part on good terms, don't make things awkward for each other. Tonight, I will move out of here..."

Gu Fei had no heart to continue entangling himself with Xun Er. Leaving these words behind, he turned around, prepared to walk downstairs.

This residence belonged to Xun Er.

Previously, Gu Fei had complied with Xun Er in everything, so even when they married, when Xun Er said she wanted to remain in her own residence, Gu Fei had agreed without hesitation.

Now that the two had reached this point, there was naturally no need for Gu Fei to continue staying here.

"No... you can't! You are my husband, you cannot separate from me!"

Realizing the severity of the situation, Xun Er hurriedly turned her head and said stubbornly to Gu Fei.

"Since you won't let me leave, then I ask you: will you consummate our marriage tonight?"

Hearing Xun Er's words, Gu Fei frowned, his eyes filled with unspeakable disgust, and he asked this final question.

"I..."

Xun Er was speechless.

She had thought about this before.

It was just that, right now, she was not yet prepared.

"Fine, tomorrow morning, I will go and explain this matter to the Clan Leader..."

This time, Gu Fei's pace as he left the Bamboo Building was very firm; no matter how Xun Er tried to hold him back from behind, he did not stop for even half a step.

At this moment, it was already late; the night covered the entire earth, and the cool moonlight poured down from the horizon, shrouding the entire mountain range in a layer of faint silver gauze.

In the center of the mountain range, clusters of palaces stood one after another.

Under the moonlight, they were like ancient beasts, exuding wisps of ancient aura.

And Gu Fei stood alone on a mountain peak far away from these ancient palaces.

At this moment, the surroundings were exceptionally quiet, just as calm as Gu Fei's heart.

"From now on, I will never again put all my energy into pleasing Xun Er."

Gu Fei let out a long breath, feeling a sense of relief in his heart.

This mountain peak held his residence from before he was married; come to think of it, he had not been here for half a year.

As he walked slowly toward his residence, Gu Fei began to ponder his future plans in his mind.

This was the Dou Qi Continent, where the lifelong wish of countless people was to become the legendary Dou Di powerhouse, and Gu Fei was no exception.

Ten years ago, Gu Fei activated the Emotion Upgrade System, which allowed him to rise from someone with ordinary talent to the current prodigy of the Ancient Clan.

Emotion Upgrade System!

The system's function was very simple.

By stimulating people of great destiny—either directly or indirectly—to experience emotional fluctuations, Gu Fei could collect Emotion Value.

And Emotion Value could be used to upgrade his various abilities.

In this world, almost all those with great destiny were people around Xiao Yan from the original story. As the "future" Flame Emperor, Xiao Yan's destiny was naturally far beyond that of ordinary people.

Besides Xiao Yan, other people with great destiny were mostly concentrated in the Northwest Continent.

In previous years, Gu Fei's attention had been almost entirely focused on Xun Er.

In order to bring Xun Er back to the Ancient Clan, he had cultivated extremely diligently within the Ancient Realm. Coupled with the fact that there were some people with minor destiny within the Ancient Clan, Gu Fei had been able to advance by leaps and bounds.

In order to bring Xun Er back to the Ancient Clan, he cultivated extremely diligently within the Ancient Realm, and with the addition of some people within the Ancient Clan who possessed minor fortune, Gu Fei was able to advance by leaps and bounds.

However, the Emotion Value gained from triggering emotions differs vastly between those with low destiny and those with high destiny.

For example, if Gu Fei stimulates an ordinary person directly or indirectly, he might only harvest 0.1 or 0.5 Emotion Value, whereas stimulating a person of destiny like Xun Er can earn him several hundred.

Therefore, if Gu Fei wants to collect more Emotion Value, he needs to gather those people of destiny from the Dou Qi Continent together.

【Emotion Value: 4000】

The next moment, a panel visible only to Gu Fei appeared before his eyes.

Gu Fei remembered that before he proposed the divorce to Xun Er, his Emotion Value was only a little over two thousand, but now, it had reached four thousand directly.

"Having saved up Emotion Value for so long, it is time to upgrade my attributes!"

A thought flashed through Gu Fei's mind.

The attribute panel was instantly presented before his eyes.

【Host: Gu Fei】

【Age: 16】

【Cultivation: Seven-Star Dou Zong】

【Aptitude: Level 101 (90—100 is Ten-Star Dou Di Bloodline aptitude)】

【Physique: Level 78 (comparable to a Seventh Tier Late Stage Emperor Grade Bloodline Magical Beast physique)】

【Soul: Spirit Realm Initial Stage】

【Cultivation Method: Great Flame Heart Sutra (Heaven-tier Primary)】

【Battle Technique: Flame Devouring Cage (Earth-tier Advanced), Sun Finger (Earth-tier Intermediate), Heavenly Star Step (Earth-tier Advanced movement Battle Technique)……】

【Alchemy: Grade 6】

The System Panel is very concise, and Gu Fei is very familiar with it.

"System, upgrade Alchemy!"

Gu Fei issued an order to the system.

【Ding, the host's current Alchemy level is Grade 6; upgrading to Grade 7 requires consuming 3999 Emotion Value, starting upgrade now】

"Hum!"

The next moment, a massive amount of information instantly flooded into Gu Fei's mind.

Some knowledge regarding alchemy took root and stabilized in his mind.

Alchemy is a profound and vast field of study.

Even what the system input into his mind was only the tip of the iceberg.

Gu Fei browsed through the alchemy knowledge in his mind in detail, completely immersed in it.

He certainly knew how difficult it is to become a top-tier Alchemist.

But as long as the system is in his hands, it is not impossible for him to become an Alchemist who can stir up the entire continent in the future.

He was completely immersed in the System Panel, and since he was at the mountain peak where his residence was located, Gu Fei did not pay attention to the outside world.

Not far away, a beautiful young girl of the Ancient Clan was standing there, quietly watching Gu Fei.
