Mortal: Starting with the Falling Cloud Sect, I proved my Dao through gacha pulls.

After carefully putting away the bottle of Nourishing Essence Pills, Su Mu turned his attention to the other cards.

【Golden Elixir (Green)】

[Note: This product originates from the world of Xian Ni. Consuming it can purify one's true essence, stabilize the dantian, and increase the success rate of core formation.]

He already possessed Snow Spirit Water, Heavenly Fire Liquid, and Dust-Subduing Pill, and now with the addition of a Golden Core Pill, his breakthrough to the Golden Core realm was virtually guaranteed.

【Humanoid Fruit (Blue)】

[Note: Originating from the world of Shrouding the Heavens, nurtured by earth vein stones, its fragrance can nourish one's essence and aid in breakthroughs. When made into an elixir, it can extend one's lifespan by a hundred years.]

The fruit was about the size of a pigeon egg, its entire surface pink and glossy, with a delicate fragrance reminiscent of orchids and musk slowly wafting through the air. Su Mu only took a light sniff, and he felt every pore on his body relax, as if his very essence was being gently nourished.

He dared not delay and immediately took out a jade box, carefully sealing the Human Essence Fruit inside.

The medicinal properties of this fruit lie in its aroma, while the flesh is highly poisonous. Only jade can preserve its medicinal properties for a long time.

"There are so many life-extending treasures in all the heavens and myriad worlds. It seems I won't have to worry about my lifespan anymore."

【Dreamy Ring (Purple)】

[Note: From the world of Stellar Transformations, this is a top-grade spatial ring with an inner space exceeding ten thousand meters in length, width, and height. It can be bound to a master by blood, isolating spiritual energy and spatial fluctuations, and shielding against divine sense detection.]

The ring was entirely bronze in color, plain and unadorned, appearing quite ordinary. Yet, when Su Mu held it in his palm, it felt warm and smooth like jade.

His fingertips clenched slightly, forcing out a drop of his essence blood to fall onto it. The Dream Ring glowed faintly with a red light, then vanished without a trace. With a thought, it could be freely integrated into his body.

He put the ring on his right index finger, his eyes filled with undisguised amazement. He had thought that the three thousand square meters of space in the Empty Crystal Ring was already quite spacious, but compared to this dreamlike ring, it was truly insignificant.

But the most powerful feature of this ring is not its ability to store things, but its ability to conceal and shield.

Su Mu's heart stirred slightly, and he quietly activated his ability to conceal himself.

In an instant, his aura, spiritual energy fluctuations, and spatial traces all vanished. He was clearly standing in the same spot, yet he seemed to have merged with the void, leaving no trace whatsoever.

"My darling!"

With this item, future safety will be greatly enhanced.

He immediately moved all his most precious treasures into the Dream Ring, while leaving his ordinary items in the Empty Crystal Ring.

The original three thousand square meters of space in that spatial ring was more than enough for him.

But the space inside this dream ring is comparable to an entire mountain range. Su Mu couldn't even imagine how many treasures would be needed to fill it.

After counting and moving the cards, his gaze fell on the last card.

【Derivation Stone (Purple)】

[Note: Originating from the Immortal Qin Empire, this technique can be used to advance a cultivation method to a higher level. The more materials used in the technique, the greater the probability of its transformation.]

Su Mu immediately thought of the "True Word Nirvana Technique" he cultivated. This technique is limited to the Nascent Soul stage and excels at rapidly restoring spiritual power and healing injuries; it is a technique that emphasizes survival.

In the future, I can use the Dao-Evolution Stone to push this technique to a higher level. However, judging from the description of this item, it seems that the more techniques I collect, the easier it is to trigger the transformation of the technique.

It seems I need to collect more cultivation techniques and manuals in the future. Fortunately, the Luoyun Sect already has a large number of cultivation techniques stored within it. Once he successfully forms his core, he can use his sect privileges to access and read them.

After checking all the received goods, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Then, Su Mu took out the Qiankun Disc.

On the jade plate where black and white energies intertwined and flowed, several beams of white light flickered silently.

In addition to the coordinates of the Luoyun Sect and the Yue Kingdom's teleportation array, Tiantai Island and Shuangfeng Island have also been recorded.

As for the coordinates of Tianxing City, they have not yet been established. He has not yet purchased a cave dwelling in the city. In addition, there are many cultivators around Tianxing City. It would be easy to cause trouble if he rashly set a location. It would be better to wait until things settle down before adding it.

His gaze fell on the light spot marking the Falling Cloud Sect, his eyes gleaming with barely concealed anticipation and excitement.

"Alright, let's go home and form our core!"

......

Tiannan, Luoyun Sect.

Beneath Fire Cloud Peak, numerous sub-peaks are scattered about, and on one of these sub-peaks lies Su Mu's cave dwelling.

In the quiet cave, ripples suddenly appeared in the space, and a figure appeared out of thin air from the ripples.

Su Mu steadied himself, quickly scanned his surroundings, and only after confirming that it was a familiar cave did he finally relax and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness, it seems that last time was indeed an accident."

Once he confirmed that he had returned to the sect, Su Mu's spirits immediately relaxed. He had only been away from the sect for two years, but the experiences of those two years were far more exciting than ordinary arduous cultivation.

Especially during the months spent hunting demons in the outer seas, he dared not relax for a moment. Now, returning to his familiar cave, a sense of warmth welled up within him. He stretched and used a hand seal to clean the cave thoroughly.

After doing all this, he found the stone bed, lay down, let down his guard, and fell into a deep sleep.

After several days of sound sleep, Su Mu woke up refreshed. Instead of immediately choosing to go into seclusion to form his core, he left his cave and headed towards Fire Cloud Peak.

"Oh, Senior Brother Su, you've emerged from seclusion?"

"Congratulations, Senior Brother, your cultivation has improved again."

"I heard that some treasures have recently appeared in Fengri City. Senior Brother Su, would you like to go and have some fun?"

......

Along the way, disciples from Fire Cloud Peak kept greeting him, all assuming he had just emerged from seclusion. This was understandable; when Su Mu left the sect, he only informed Duan Gu and Song Yu, and everyone else thought he had been in seclusion in his cave.

After responding to each of them, Su Mu quickly arrived at Duan Gu's cave. Before he could even send a telepathic message, he heard hearty laughter coming from inside the cave.

"Haha, good disciple, I sensed you just now, come in quickly!"

He smiled and stepped into the cave.

"How was your travels? You're back after only two years. It must be so comfortable in the sect, right?"

As soon as Su Mu entered the cave, he heard Duan Gu's teasing voice.

He looked up and was slightly taken aback.

Duan Gu's complexion was rosy, his white hair had mostly disappeared, his wrinkles were much shallower, and his blood and energy were unusually vigorous.

"What, are you stunned? Can't you see any change in your master?"

Duan Gu spun around in front of him triumphantly, his face beaming with undisguised joy.

Su Mu chuckled inwardly. Knowing the old man's temperament, he quickly straightened his face and bowed respectfully.

"Congratulations, Master, on advancing to the late stage of Core Formation! The path to Nascent Soul is within reach!"

Duan Gu quickly waved his hand to help him up and coughed lightly.

"Alright, alright, thanks to the spring water you gave me, the effect is amazing. I owe you a huge favor. Just let me know if you ever need anything!"

Su Mu blinked, suppressing a laugh, and pretended to mention it casually.

"Master, there is something I would like to trouble you with."

Duan Gu stroked his beard, waved his hand confidently.

"Just say it, and I will definitely do it for you!"

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I'm preparing to form my core."

Duan Gu was stunned upon hearing this, staring wide-eyed at his disciple.

Su Mu nodded earnestly, his tone utterly sincere:

"That's right, I'm about to form my core."
