Refining Ruins Cauldron

When Master Qinggu spoke up, Old Ancestor Xuedao also stepped forward.

"If you want to fight, I'll fight you to the bitter end."

As soon as he finished speaking, a wave of fighting spirit surged forth, demonstrating the terrifying power of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Even from a great distance, Gu Qingyun could feel a sense of suffocation.

He had no doubt that once they started fighting, with his Foundation Establishment cultivation, he might not even be able to withstand the aftershocks of the battle.

Liuli Zhenren's expression was solemn, his eyes fixed on the two Nascent Soul cultivators before him. Despite his deep resentment, he dared not make any further moves.

In a one-on-one situation, she might not be afraid of anyone.

But now, facing two opponents alone, even if she were incredibly stupid, she knew she had no chance of winning.

It's not worth risking your life and fortune for a junior member of a sect!

"Good! Very good! I will remember what happened today!"

"One day, with interest, I'll make you all cough it all up!"

After uttering these harsh words, Master Liuli snorted coldly and then led the remaining members of the Liuli Sect away.

In the blink of an eye, they vanished without a trace.

Seeing this, Blood Blade Ancestor finally had time to turn around, his gaze falling on Qiu Wentian, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Where is the spirit fruit?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Wentian immediately fell silent, and after a moment he took out a Daoist Spirit Fruit.

Crystal clear, the spiritual fruit shimmers with seven colors under the sunlight, making it exceptionally eye-catching.

Blood Blade Ancestor showed a look of joy, but it was only for a moment.

His gaze shifted to the other disciples, watching them each take out a spiritual fruit from their treasure bags, totaling four.

At this moment, Blood Blade Ancestor couldn't help but laugh heartily, feeling incredibly happy.

"Excellent! Excellent! Heaven is truly helping our Blood Blade Sect! Heaven is indeed helping our Blood Blade Sect!"

The four Daoist Spirit Fruits represent the Blood Blade Sect's potential to produce four more Golden Core experts in the future!

This is an incredible opportunity!

With this assistance, the overall strength of the Blood Blade Sect will surely reach a new level!

"A century! We've waited a full century! It's time for the Blood Blade Sect to finally hold its head high!"

Blood Blade Ancestor's smile vanished, and he made no attempt to linger. He led his disciples away, quickly disappearing into the horizon.

Qiu Wentian was the last to leave, and before he left, he clasped his hands in a fist salute to Gu Qingyun.

These four spiritual fruits were naturally a gift from Gu Qingyun.

According to the bet, the Blood Blade Sect should not have received a single item.

However, the disciples of the Longevity Sect who entered the secret realm with him only received four of them. Gu Qingyun gave the rest to Qiu Wentian and the others as a favor.

As for himself, the entire spirit tree had been refined and integrated into his body, so the spirit fruit was no longer of much use to Gu Qingyun.

Even if you eat it, it's just like any other fruit; there's no need to.

With the departure of the two major sects, only the group from the Longevity Sect remains in the canyon.

Since that was the case, Master Qinggu did not intend to linger. He summoned the flying boat again and led everyone away.

Once outside the canyon, the surrounding air seemed to become much fresher, and with each breath, Gu Qingyun felt incredibly relaxed.

Besides Gu Qingyun, only four people survived the secret realm this time.

Although it's much better than the last time, the casualties are still quite heavy.

Gu Qingyun found a quiet corner, held her breath, and tried to calm her thoughts.

Xu Qingran appeared beside him without him noticing.

"What, is there anything else you're worried about?"

In those bright eyes, there was only Gu Qingyun's figure at this moment, as if everything else had become dispensable.

Gu Qingyun slowly opened his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him, bathed in the sunset, who was so beautiful that she was beyond compare. For a moment, he was also a little lost in thought.

The two of them, when they were seated there, were a perfect match, making others envious.

Gu Qingyun hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke out what was on her mind.

"Thirty-five, these casualties..."

Gu Qingyun did not continue speaking, and his expression became more serious.

Xu Qingran knew exactly what he was trying to say, and looked at the horizon with a complicated expression: "Cultivating immortality is going against the will of Heaven. Since they have chosen to embark on this path, they have already made mental preparations."

The desire for immortality always comes at a price, sometimes even costing one's life.

Gu Qingyun let out a long breath, looked ahead with a complicated expression, and said no more.

The flying boat was extremely fast, speeding along the way, and it would arrive at the Changsheng Sect's mountain gate in about a day.

"What are your plans after you return?"

Xu Qingran spoke again, as if she had thought of something, and a name came out of her mouth.

"Wei Qianbo?!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of coldness flashed in Gu Qingyun's eyes.

Originally, the grudges between him and Ziyan should have been wiped clean after Ziyan's death.

But Wei Qianbo was relentless, even going so far as to collude with Bai Feng and use any means necessary to kill him.

Gu Qingyun's conscience would not be at peace until he avenged this grudge.

Seeing his silence, Xu Qingran had already guessed what was going on.

"So, do you need me?"

Gu Qingyun slowly shook his head: "I will resolve the grudges between him and me."

Wei Qianbo is no ordinary person. Even though he is punished with confinement, he is still the head of the Enforcement Hall and the Golden Core Elder with the best chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future.

He had been operating within the Longevity Sect for many years, and his resources were vast.

Gu Qingyun was already at a loss as to how to deal with the situation, so how could he possibly involve Xu Qingran?

Therefore, Xu Qingran did not dwell on it any further.

She simply stood silently beside Gu Qingyun, quietly keeping him company.

Perhaps this is the only thing I can do right now.

Although they had only known each other for a short time, they had actually been through life and death together.

The young man before her was neither as handsome as Pan An nor had he ever dominated the world, but he had left an indelible mark on Xu Qingran's heart.

That feeling was buried deep in my heart, like a seed waiting to sprout, silently absorbing nutrients.

"Qingyun".

Just then, the voice of Master Qing Gu rang in his ears. Gu Qingyun was startled, then bid farewell to Xu Qingran and walked towards his room.

Gu Qingyun took a deep breath, trying to conceal the aura of the Dao Foundation Spirit Wood as much as possible, and integrated it into his limbs and bones.

He didn't know what Qing Gu Zhenren was thinking. Dao Foundation Spirit Wood, even a Nascent Soul expert would be tempted by it, right?

However, Gu Qingyun would not simply hand it over.

Even if it's his master, he has to give it a try!

Putting aside all distractions, I pushed open the door and entered.

As soon as the door opened, a fragrant aroma wafted out—a subtle scent of tea that was simply delightful.

Gu Qingyun looked into the room and saw that Master Qinggu was meditating on a futon with a small tea table in front of him. The tea had already been brewed and was probably waiting for him.

"Come."

Master Qinggu gestured for Gu Qingyun to sit opposite him.

This time, the latter was not as relaxed as before; her body was slightly tense, but she still did it.

Gu Qingyun remained calm and met Qing Gu Zhenren's eyes without flinching.

That posture was like a tiger cub poised to pounce, baring its teeth and guarding its precious possession.

Upon seeing this, Master Qinggu was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Why are you so nervous?"

"Do you perhaps think that I would be tempted by the Dao Foundation Spirit Wood, and therefore order you to hand it over?"
