Refining Ruins Cauldron

The voice of Master Qinggu came from inside the flying boat, and everyone in the entire Changsheng Sect could hear it clearly.

Although you can't see the person, you can hear their voice.

The crowd stood still, their eyes filled with reverence.

"After today, I intend to go into seclusion to comprehend the Dao. During this time, all affairs will be arranged by the various peak masters. Unless absolutely necessary, please do not disturb my meditation."

As soon as he finished speaking, the flying boat disappeared, along with Master Qinggu.

As they watched the sect leader depart, Nalan Feixue and the other elders who had walked alongside him turned back to look at the disciples who had set off on this expedition, their gazes carrying a profound meaning.

"This trip to the Taiyi Secret Realm has been very fruitful. After returning, I must carefully reflect on it and digest it properly, so as not to waste this opportunity."

One of the elders spoke, and then flew away, disappearing into the horizon.

The path of spiritual practice depends mainly on the individual. If you don't care, no matter how much others talk to you, it won't help.

"Gu Qingyun, come to the main peak of Tiandu."

Nalan Feixue left after saying a few words.

The remaining elders simply looked at the group with satisfaction, nodded slowly, and then disappeared into the sky as well.

They remained where they were, with only Gu Qingyun and a few others, and it took them a long time to recover.

"Thank you for your help, Junior Brother Qingyun."

Li Wei was the first to speak, clasping his hands in a respectful gesture towards Gu Qingyun.

The Daoist Spirit Fruit was originally taken by Gu Qingyun, so even if it wasn't shared with them, Li Wei wouldn't utter a single complaint.

But Gu Qingyun took out all these treasures, keeping none for himself.

Li Wei admitted that he couldn't do that.

As soon as he said that, the others followed suit.

"Indeed, without Junior Brother Gu's presence, how could we have obtained the spiritual fruit?"

"Junior brother, if you need anything in the future, just come to us. We will do our best to help you."

The group clasped their hands in greeting, bowed slightly to Gu Qingyun, and greeted him with smiles.

The path of cultivation is mostly one of survival of the fittest, but it also contains a great deal of affection.

Looking at the group, Gu Qingyun didn't show much emotion. He simply clasped his hands in return.

The spiritual fruit was of little use to him, so sharing it with others wouldn't make much difference.

"You're too kind, gentlemen. We're all from the same sect. A few Daoist Spirit Fruits are nothing to mention."

These words, spoken by Gu Qingyun, were as casual as the spiritual fruit that countless Foundation Establishment cultivators scrambled for, or the wildflowers by the roadside, which could be found everywhere.

The more composed he appeared, the deeper everyone's admiration for Gu Qingyun became.

They never believed the saying "treating spirits like dirt" until they met Gu Qingyun.

Such magnanimity and spirit truly make him the foremost figure among the younger generation.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they all left.

Xu Qingran stayed until the end; she wasn't in a hurry to leave.

Today, she wore a light yellow dress that showed off her beautiful figure, simple yet dignified.

Like a lotus flower in the mud, it evokes admiration even from afar.

Xu Qingran didn't say much, but just looked at Gu Qingyun with a flickering gaze.

After a long while, he slowly nodded, the smile on his lips becoming more and more pronounced, before finally turning and leaving.

That smile speaks volumes more than any words could express; it conveyed the emotions in my heart.

Gu Qingyun watched the other person leave, watching that beautiful figure gradually disappear into the distance until it vanished at the end of the mountain gate before he withdrew his gaze.

He let out a slow sigh. No matter how calm he was, how could Gu Qingyun remain completely unmoved?

Unfortunately, given the current situation, there will ultimately be no outcome.

……

Tiandu Peak is where the main peak is located.

As we walked along, the mountain mists were so close yet so far, yet impossible to grasp.

A gentle breeze rustled the branches, the clouds drifted with the wind, and Gu Qingyun was the only one on the mountain path.

At this moment, Nalan Feixue stood in the forest, seemingly having been waiting for a long time.

"The sect leader is looking for you; it must be no simple matter."

Let's get straight to the point.

Gu Qingyun remained silent for a moment before finally giving a brief account of what had happened.

"Five Elements Spiritual Objects?!"

Nalan Feixue murmured to herself, her willow-leaf eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if she had thought of something.

"So, you still need to gather the other four types of spiritual items? What about the extra Daoist Spiritual Fruits? Are you going to use them to exchange for spiritual items?"

Gu Qingyun shook his head: "I have already sent out all the spirit fruits."

His words were so startling that Nalan Feixue thought she had misheard.

The Daoist Spirit Fruit might not mean much to her, but to Gu Qingyun, who had not yet formed his core, it was a top-grade spiritual object that could help him achieve that.

Any one of these would be enough to cause countless Foundation Establishment cultivators to scramble for it!

And yet, this kid actually gave them all away?!

Has he lost his mind?!

However, the next sentence...

"This disciple has subdued the Dao Rhyme Tree."

"!!!"

Even with Nalan Feixue's composure, her pupils shrank, and she came to her senses, looking at Gu Qingyun in disbelief.

She knew about the Dao Rhyme Tree, but she had never heard of anyone being able to subdue it!

Are you sure?!

Nalan Feixue even wondered if Gu Qingyun was hallucinating.

"Sure!"

At this moment, Nalan Feixue took a deep breath, and even she couldn't help but breathe more rapidly.

Nalan Feixue had always been aloof, and Gu Qingyun had never seen any other expression on her face.

The expression on the Heavenly Capital Peak Master's face at this moment was far more interesting than ever before!

If you subdue the Dao Rhyme Tree and handle it properly, it will ripen once every hundred years, and each harvest will be an incredible opportunity!

To put it boldly, it could even help the Longevity Sect cultivate Golden Core seeds stably!

Even Nalan Feixue found such exaggeration somewhat unrealistic.

She quickly calmed down and looked nervously at Gu Qingyun.

"Who else knows about this? Qiu Wentian?!"

"This disciple has ordered all members of the Blood Blade Sect to swear an oath to Heaven that they must not reveal a single word of this matter to anyone."

Gu Qingyun told the truth.

"As for the fellow disciples who accompanied me, they only know that I have acquired the Dao Rhyme Tree, but they do not know its true name, let alone the secret of its spiritual core. Apart from them and Master, there is only you, Peak Master, now."

Upon hearing this, Nalan Feixue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But when he looked at Gu Qingyun again, his gaze changed.

On the surface, Qiu Wentian is the strongest prodigy to enter the secret realm this time.

But Gu Qingyun was able to get them all to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, which means that his own strength is enough to crush everyone.

Just a few months ago, Gu Qingyun was a newcomer to the sect, an insignificant servant, as insignificant as an ant!

Now, it has grown to such an extraordinary level!

Keep in mind, it hasn't been that long!

No matter how talented someone is, who can grow as fast as Gu Qingyun?

Once she calmed down, Nalan Feixue's thoughts became much clearer.

"So, you killed the people from the Glazed Tile School too?"

Gu Qingyun did not deny it, and nodded openly.

"Good! Very good! Excellent!"

Nalan Feixue looked at Gu Qingyun with satisfaction; things were developing much better than she had expected.

It was watertight and flawless.

Such a young age and such a spirit, his future is limitless!

"This must not be told to anyone, not even Xiaomei."

Nalan Feixue reminded me.

"Yes."

Gu Qingyun nodded, having no objection.

In fact, Gu Qingyun would not have said it to anyone else, not even Qing Gu Zhenren.

Nalan Feixue saved him from life and death time and time again; this kindness deserves to be cherished.

Not to mention now, he still needs to ask others for his help.

"Peak Master Nalan, this disciple has another request..."
