Chapter 273

I do not know how much time had passed when a golden light quietly emerged from the thunderclouds, shooting straight toward the Qingluan in the storm.

The next moment, the thunder dissipated, and the Qingluan let out a cry toward the sky.

Its form expanded rapidly.

Dozens of meters, hundreds of meters, thousands of meters...

Finally, it transformed into a massive creature.

The feathers on its body grew back, shimmering with flowing light, resembling a piece of exquisite green jade.

Its pair of eyes were even more vibrant, containing wisps of thunderous Qi.

Its tail feathers became increasingly long and brilliant; from afar, it looked just like a green phoenix.

Jiang Yan was astonished and remarked with emotion:

"This little fellow actually possesses a trace of phoenix bloodline..."

"A phoenix?"

Seeing that the Qingluan was now in excellent condition, Miss Ganyu set aside her worries and asked out of curiosity.

Jiang Yan nodded slightly.

"Perhaps in the ancient era, one of the Qingluan's ancestors was a phoenix."

"Now, having consumed spiritual medicine and undergone the tempering of the Lei Jie, a trace of its faint phoenix bloodline has been activated."

"Although it is very weak, it is still a phoenix, one of the true divine beasts of heaven and earth in the cultivation world."

"In layman's terms, the Qingluan will become much stronger."

Upon hearing this, Miss Ganyu was overjoyed and looked at the Qingluan with anticipation.

After successfully crossing the tribulation, the Qingluan was clearly in a very good mood.

Its chirping revealed endless pride and arrogance.

It circled in the sky, and the clouds drifted and flowed along with the Qingluan.

It appeared to have gained a touch of holiness.

After a long while, seemingly satisfied with showing off, the Qingluan pinpointed Miss Ganyu's location and arrived in an instant, transformed into a green light.

Its form gradually shrank, and by the time it reached Miss Ganyu, it was about the same height as Xiang Keli.

The green light shook and dissipated, and the Qingluan successfully took human form.

Looking at the delicate and pretty little girl before them, she looked as exquisite as a doll.

She wore a pale green Daoist robe, and there was an exquisite green flower mark between her brows.

Instantly, all the ladies present were captivated by the transformed Qingluan.

Even Lady Ningguang could not help but let a look of affection bloom in her eyes, wishing she could pick up the Qingluan and give her a kiss.

"Sister Ganyu! Brother Sect Master! Qingluan has transformed! Is Qingluan super amazing?"

The Qingluan leaped up and jumped into Miss Ganyu's arms.

Miss Ganyu's maternal instincts were instantly triggered, and she gave her a fierce kiss.

"Qingluan is truly wonderful! Did it hurt during the tribulation just now?"

"It didn't hurt! Qingluan is super amazing!"

The Qingluan raised her head proudly.

Jiang Yan poked her nose with amusement.

"You little fellow, you dare to eat anything. You didn't even think about the fact that you were at the peak of Refining Essence into Qi and about to cross the tribulation, yet you still dared to eat indiscriminately."

"That was just the most basic heavenly tribulation. Next time, when the tribulation of Refining God into Void descends, if you are still this reckless, there is no guarantee that something won't go wrong."

The Qingluan stuck out her tongue, feeling a bit guilty, and said:

"I know! Brother Sect Master! Qingluan will be careful in the future!"

Jiang Yan did not continue to scold her; after all, the Qingluan was essentially just a child.

Looking at Miss Ganyu, Jiang Yan said softly:

"Since the Qingluan has taken human form, she can also practice some techniques. Later, you should take the Qingluan to the Scripture Pavilion."

Miss Ganyu nodded happily.

"Thank you, Sect Master."

"Go back now; the guest you brought is still waiting."

Jiang Yan glanced at Miss Yae Miko, and Miss Ganyu immediately felt a bit apologetic.

"I'm sorry, Sister Miko, you just arrived and I didn't entertain you, but instead let you waste quite a bit of time following me here."

Miss Yae Miko covered her mouth and chuckled, shaking her head:

"Sister Ganyu, what are you saying? I should be thanking Sister Ganyu for letting me see so much."

Miss Ganyu still felt a bit guilty; after all, Miss Yae Miko was not a cultivator and had followed her to watch the Lei Jie for so long.

She knew very well what it felt like for an ordinary person to be near a Lei Jie, and she assumed Miss Yae Miko must have been significantly affected by the aura of the tribulation.

Miss Ganyu thought for a moment. Since Miss Yae Miko was here to join the sect, and Jiang Yan happened to be here, she simply brought it up.

"Sect Master, Sister Miko came at my invitation specifically to join the Shushan Sect. Now that she has watched the Lei Jie, her mind must have been quite impacted."

"... Could she temporarily rest at the Shushan Sect for one night and go for the assessment tomorrow?"

Upon hearing this, Miss Yae Miko's heart stirred, and she looked at Jiang Yan with some anticipation.

In just this short while, she had already felt the magic of the Shushan Sect. Just staying here made her feel refreshed, and her strength was constantly improving.

Staying for one night...

She imagined the effect would be even better.

Jiang Yan glanced sideways at Miss Yae Miko, his gaze shifting.

As expected, this was a genius.

Although not comparable to the divine bodies of Miss Ying and Paimon, Miss Yae Miko's constitution was not weak at all.

"Heavenly Charm Body..."

"A special constitution? Is it a divine body?"

Miss Ganyu's heart stirred, and she looked at Jiang Yan with anticipation.

Miss Yae Miko was also quite excited. Just now, on the way here, Miss Ganyu had told her quite a bit about the power of special constitutions.

Especially the divine bodies of Xiang Keli and the others.

Miss Yae Miko had fantasized about whether she might also have a divine body, and now it seemed she actually did.

Jiang Yan, however, laughed dumbly and shook his head.

"A divine body might not appear even in millions of years. Having three divine bodies in Teyvat now is already unheard of."

"If divine bodies were so common, they wouldn't be called divine bodies."

Upon hearing this, Miss Yae Miko felt a bit disappointed.

"However, the Heavenly Charm Body is also a very strong type among special constitutions."

"The Heavenly Charm Body excels in the Dao of enchantment. When the Heavenly Charm Body reaches perfection, every move and gesture is soul-stirring."

"Those with the Heavenly Charm Body naturally have a divine sense several times stronger than other cultivators."

"They are top-tier geniuses for practicing techniques of divine sense."

"However..."

Jiang Yan hesitated for a moment, which immediately made Miss Yae Miko feel anxious.

She stared tightly at Jiang Yan, fearing he would say something bad. After a long while, Jiang Yan shook his head.

"It's not a big problem, it's just... the cultivation world has always held a special view regarding the Heavenly Charm Body."

"All of this is because of a not-so-pleasant past in the Immortal World."

"In the past, there was an immortal dynasty in the Immortal World called Shang Tang. Emperor Di Xin of Shang Tang had a concubine who possessed a perfect Heavenly Charm Body. Her name was..."

"Su Daji."

Upon hearing this, the others were confused, but Miss Alice suddenly perked up, as if she had found some earth-shattering gossip.

She transformed into a top-tier gossip enthusiast, looking at Jiang Yan with excitement.

"Su Daji?!"

"The nine-tailed fox demon from the legendary Xuanyuan Tomb, sent by the Great Goddess Nuwa to take revenge on Shang Tang?"

"The origin of the idiom 'to help a tyrant do evil'?"

"The one who caused the death of Empress Jiang, invented the punishment of the bronze pillar, and bewitched King Zhou into digging out the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart of the loyal minister Bi Gan?"

"The one who built the Deer Terrace and the Wine Pool and Meat Forest?" ===== CHAPTER 274 =====
