Chapter 101: I, Wang Qinghe, Was Here First!

Very good.

Another gold coin dropped from his own body.

"Ancient Remnant," great historical pioneer—so, you're a collector of Gu Jiangming's relics, are you?

However, although the Taicang Sword is a relic left behind ten thousand years ago, Gu Jiangming has yet to discover any special use for it to this day.

Since Mie Changsheng rates it as a treasure, it naturally possesses the characteristics of a treasure.

It's just that I don't know what its use actually is.

But for the current Gu Jiangming, Long Xi having inadvertently helped him find a new use for the Taiyi Stone is already a bountiful harvest.

【You attempt to practice Dragon Aspect Heart Birth.】

【Dragon Aspect Heart Birth is, after all, a Dragon Race cultivation technique practiced by the Human Race; its main chapters detail how humans should utilize Spirit Qi to nourish the physical body, allowing one's body to undergo substantial changes and improvements.】

【Everything recorded in this cultivation method very much resembles the cultivation habits of the Dragon Race.】

【And from the content of Dragon Aspect Heart Birth, you seem to vaguely glimpse some events that occurred in the past.】

This is the perfect embodiment of "others are practicing martial arts, while I am cultivating immortality."

Therefore, the first stage of cultivation is very easy; one only needs to use the Spirit Qi within the Taiyi Stone to irrigate one's entire body's meridians and flesh, completing the Spirit Qi's flushing of the whole body to allow the physical body to receive the nourishment of Spirit Qi, enhancing its original quality and strength.

【You have completed the breakthrough of the first stage of "Dragon Aspect Heart Birth," and your physical body has seen substantial improvement.】

【At first glance, you did not perceive the rich emotions contained within; upon looking again, what you see is the silent effort made by a Dragon Race cultivator for a mortal.】

【When the first stage of "Dragon Aspect Heart Birth" cultivation succeeded, your physical body, through your Knowledge and cognition, already possessed the strength expected of an ordinary Great Demon.】

The first stage of leveling up is over.

Gu Jiangming clenched his fists, and his whole body let out a sound of relief.

The various heterodox techniques created by people of the current age were all forged to adapt to this "low Spirit Qi" environment.

Relying on the 【Taiyi Stone】 as support for infinite firepower, with spell cultivation and physical strength catching up one after another.

【From these words, you feel more than just a simple cultivation method.】

【Compared to the lack of ripples in your heart during the first cultivation, you see much, much more content beyond your field of vision.】

Gu Jiangming took a deep breath.

It was clearly forcibly besieged in an environment lacking Spirit Qi.

【Its thick and substantial cultivation notes are like a history etched into the heart.】

Conversely, Gu Jiangming can ignore this environment through the 【Taiyi Stone】, which is a natural advantage for him.

【This is your second time practicing "Dragon Aspect Heart Birth."】

【You realize that this is not an ordinary technique, but a story, a past, that existed many, many years ago.】

This information almost confirms that Gu Jiangming is completing a series of reincarnations through his own original body.

【This is an event that truly happened between the Dragon Race and the Human Race; it is not a story fabricated based on human imagination.】

And through the help of the Taiyi Stone, he avoided the biggest difficulty in practicing "Dragon Aspect Heart Birth"—the hurdle of 【massive Spirit Qi required to nourish the physical body】.

【Why one must practice this way, what the reason for practicing this way is, and how to avoid the huge differences between the Human Race and the Dragon Race during cultivation.】

Gu Jiangming's actual combat ability should have reached a new stage.

"For the Red Workshop to have such great influence under Guanzhong, if my guess is correct, it should be the Pei Family."

After deep thought, Gu Jiangming said to himself in his heart.

"How can one allow others to snore beside one's bed?"

"If it weren't the Pei Family's industry, how could the Red Workshop gradually expand its influence in what is theoretically the Pei Family's territory?"

"I can go and test the truth of the matter now."

"I wonder how much chance of winning I have if I run into Jiu Jiu now."

"How can a great man be content to live under others for long?"

"Always being in the position of woman-on-top, man-on-bottom—that's so embarrassing."

"At the very least, I must defeat my own wife."

Thinking of this.

Gu Jiangming began his actions unhurriedly.

【You have launched an investigation into the Red Workshop.】

【This is an event you triggered yourself—Red Workshop Exploration.】

【On one hand, you want to evaluate your gains from these days; on the other, you want to explore the situation in Guanzhong deeply, as you are currently at the center of the event's vortex.】

【The place where the Hundred Schools Rebellion will ultimately lead is bound to be inseparable from the land of Guanzhong.】

The small character representing Gu Jiangming finally began to move on the world map, no longer staying put in one place.

Wang Qinghe in Liangzhou had observed these four exquisite and delicate character avatars on the world map very early on.

Because the facial features of these four people were all clearly depicted.

For example, on Long Xi's small character, there are striking Dragon Horns on her head, while Jiu Jiu's cartoon character has white hair and a face full of arrogance and disdain.

Her own character, Wang Qinghe, always wears a smile and has faint blush on her cheeks; she should be the cutest of the three.

Gu Jiangming's small character is a bit special; he can change his outfit style and is not always the same appearance.

Previously, when seeing Gu Jiangming heading toward the Northern Wei Imperial Palace in Guanzhong, his small character was a mini version of the Dao Venerable of Mount Shu.

Now it has changed back to his daily look, only with an extra sword on his back, looking like the Taicang Sword.

As for the research on 【Mie Changsheng】, Wang Qinghe is the most attentive, because she has benefited a lot from it.

She increasingly realizes the huge benefits that 【Mie Changsheng】 can bring.

The reason why the Wang Family completed the counter-kill against the Yin Clan is entirely due to the information deduction ability of 【Mie Changsheng】.

In a short period of time, Wang Qinghe found the weaknesses, flaws, and operational problems of the Yin Clan.

With the information perfected, Wang Qinghe prepared a series of layouts, utilizing the imbalance between small clans and large clans to consolidate their power, successfully using the small to defeat the large.

Through the technique of Heavenly Gang Five Thunders, Wang Qinghe also bluffed the others, becoming the sole beneficiary in the series of riots in Liangzhou.

At this moment, Wang Qinghe developed new thoughts about Gu Jiangming in her heart.

The memories of over a thousand interactions were solid, and the details and memories of living together were likewise solid.

Here, when she first met Gu Jiangming, Wang Qinghe had considered fulfilling the union of Jiu Jiu and Gu Jiangming.

She had been very generous in her thinking at the time, but as time went on, Wang Qinghe discovered that she was just a silly roe deer.

Is a man something that can just be given away?

Especially after Wang Qinghe achieved some success, this emotion influenced Wang Qinghe more and more.

First, Wang Qinghe could not determine if she could still return to the present world.

If she fulfilled the union of Jiu Jiu and Gu Jiangming, then she would have to spend her life in solitude.

She was given a chance to return to the past, yet she had to witness Gu Jiangming spend his life with someone else; did she have some kind of illness?

Moreover, this time there were clearly new changes; even the dragon girl from ten thousand years ago who competed with her for her husband had come knocking.

Why should she be the one to yield?

Second, returning to the past meant changing the past; she had already changed so much history in Liangzhou.

Then why should she be constrained by historical results when it came to Gu Jiangming?

During that Reincarnation, she was as pitiful as one could be.

But who isn't a beautiful young girl, who isn't a great romantic; what regulation stipulated that Jiu Jiu must be Gu Jiangming's wife?

I, Wang Qinghe, was Gu Jiangming's legitimately wedded wife ten thousand years ago, a proper romantic connection.

I am the one who came first!

I am snatching my man from ten thousand years ago; there is nothing wrong with this line of thinking, right?

Wang Qinghe followed this line of thinking, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt it was right, the more she felt it should be so.

She couldn't really act like a female bodhisattva and live a life of widowhood just because of Jiu Jiu; Wang Qinghe didn't owe Jiu Jiu anything.

This is fair competition.

Completely legitimate fair competition.

【You have adjusted your action schedule and formulated a new main storyline goal.】

【Your currently planned main storyline goal is—to rule Liangzhou.】

【The side quest goal is—to manage the region and gradually enhance Liangzhou's competitiveness within the Nine Provinces.】

【At the same time, you have newly formulated a personal life goal—to become romantic partners with Gu Jiangming.】

According to the information organized by 【Mie Changsheng】, Liangzhou was truly a mess; not only was there a lot of ruined land, but the overall development of the cities was also rotten. More importantly, after resolving the Yin Clan, the common external enemy, the small and medium-sized clans that had previously allied together had once again become scattered sand, unwilling to fully obey her command.

Wang Qinghe had to deal with these problems one by one.

At the same time.

Gu Jiangming's infiltration plan at Qingmu Hall was basically declared a failure.

Since the plan had changed, he could only be forced to break in by force.

There is another update before dawn.

Jiu Jiu and Gu Jiangming's daughter—Gu Mingyue.
