Although Gu Yuan was the patriarch of the ancient clan, it was impossible for him to carry so many supplies with him. Fortunately, with his cultivation level, it wouldn't take him long to go home and back.

Not long after, Gu Yuan returned to the courtyard and handed a storage ring filled with cultivation resources to Lu Chen. Lu Chen also handed the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade to Gu Yuan.

The money and goods were settled, and everyone was happy.

After putting away the Imperial Jade, Gu Yuan looked at Lu Chen again, his eyes flickering for a moment before he spoke slowly:

"May I ask if you are from the Upper Realm?"

The rumors about the Upper Realm may be legends to others, but the ancient records of the eight ancient clans clearly document the story of their ancestor, the Dou Di, ascending to heaven.

Lu Chen, who appeared to be of low cultivation level, was able to produce a treasure that could threaten his life.

Most importantly, the energy within Lu Chen's body was clearly not the Dou Qi of the Dou Qi Continent, but a higher form of existence.

Upon sensing this unknown energy, two words instantly appeared in Gu Yuan's mind: "Origin Qi"!

All these signs led Gu Yuan to make some guesses about Lu Chen's identity.

I guess so.

Lu Chen smiled and gave an ambiguous answer.

After all, the world of "Covering the Sky" can indeed be considered the upper realm compared to the world of "Battle Through the Heavens," so Lu Chen wasn't lying.

"Young friend, would you like to visit the ancient world for a while?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's answer, a look of joy flashed across Gu Yuan's face, and he immediately extended an invitation.

As the patriarch of the ancient clan, Gu Yuan possesses many secrets about the Dou Qi Continent.

Since Emperor Tuoshe became emperor, the Dou Qi Continent has not seen a new Dou Emperor for nearly ten thousand years.

Gu Yuan was also very clear about the reason: the Dou Di Origin Qi on the Dou Qi Continent was insufficient.

Without the Dou Di Origin Qi, no matter how hard one tries, it is impossible to cross the threshold from Dou Sheng to Dou Di.

The reason why top experts like Gu Yuan paid so much attention to the cave of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe was because it was said that the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe had left a Dou Di Pill containing Dou Di Origin Qi in the cave.

But upon seeing Lu Chen, Gu Yuan saw another hope for breaking through to the Dou Di realm.

According to Gu Yuan's understanding, this so-called Dou Di Yuan Qi originated from the Upper Realm.

The reason why so many Dou Di emerged in ancient times was because there was a connection between the Dou Qi Continent and the Upper Realm at that time, and a continuous stream of Origin Qi would enter the Dou Qi Continent through the connection.

However, it is unknown when this passage connecting the two worlds was closed, which led to the decreasing amount of Dou Di Origin Qi on the Dou Qi Continent, until it is now almost exhausted.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Chief Gu, but perhaps next time."

Lu Chen smiled and declined Gu Yuan's invitation.

Soon, it will be the Yao Guang Holy Land's disciple recruitment ceremony, and Lu Chen will take advantage of this time to improve his cultivation.

Gu Yuan wasn't annoyed by Lu Chen's rejection. He exchanged a few more pleasantries with a smile and then left.

Seeing her father leave without even saying goodbye, Xiao Xun'er was stunned and stood there in shock.

She thought her father would definitely take her back to the ancient clan this time, but after completing the transaction with Lu Chen, her father seemed to have forgotten about his daughter and ran away!

Despite her confusion, Xiao Xun'er was very happy to be able to stay by Xiao Yan's side.

After completing the transaction, the next step for Lu Chen was naturally to "divide the spoils".

Lu Chen first distributed cultivation resources to Xiao Yan, Xu Qi'an, and Huang Rong, and then gave Xiao Yan the high-level Earth-rank cultivation technique.

After all, these things were obtained by exchanging the Xiao family's imperial jade, so naturally the Xiao family should also get some benefits.

Therefore, this cultivation method and fighting technique are exactly what Lu Chen specifically wanted for the Xiao family.

As for why they didn't directly ask for a Heaven-rank cultivation technique, it's mainly because Heaven-rank cultivation techniques are extremely rare even among ancient clans, and the requirements for cultivating them are extremely high. Even if they obtained one, probably no one in the Xiao family would be able to cultivate it, and it would only be kept as a lucky charm.

Lu Chen did not pass on the "Emperor's Seal Technique" to Xiao Yan along with the fighting technique; instead, he learned it and uploaded it to the group.

That way everyone can learn.

Otherwise, if we wait until Xiao Yan learns it and then uploads it to the group, who knows when that will be?

After dividing the filth, Lu Chen and the others did not linger and returned to their own worlds.

……

Cover the world.

Lu Chen returned to the courtyard from outside, where Weiwei and Xiaonannan were playing.

"Big brother!"

Upon seeing Lu Chen, the little girl immediately ran over and pounced on him, only to be swept into his arms by Lu Chen, who pinched her cheek and asked:

"Does my little girl miss me?"

"I've thought about it!"

"Nannan misses her big brother so much, and Sister Weiwei misses him too!"

The little girl pressed her face against Lu Chen's chest, rubbing against him like a kitten.

"Really? Senior sister misses me too?"

Lu Chen carried the little girl to Weiwei's side, leaned down and whispered in Weiwei's ear with a smile.

Weiwei gave Lu Chen a charming eye roll with a smug look on her pretty face.

Her shy demeanor stirred a surge of excitement in Lu Chen.

"Senior sister, I obtained a lot of cultivation resources on this trip."

"The Yao Guang Holy Land's disciple recruitment ceremony is coming up soon, so we need to improve our cultivation level further."

Lu Chen held the little one and embraced the big one, the three of them sitting together on the swing, leisurely swinging around.

"Junior brother is right, but little girl..."

After hearing Lu Chen's words, Weiwei nodded in agreement, then glanced at the little girl in Lu Chen's arms with some concern.

"It's alright, let's just send the little girl to Ye Fan and the others for a few days."

Lu Chen smiled and looked down at the little girl, saying:

"Darling, your sister Weiwei and I are going into seclusion to cultivate next. How about we send you to stay with those two brothers you met last time for a few days?"

"Uh-huh."

Although the little girl was very reluctant to part with Lu Chen, she knew that Lu Chen had important things to do, so she nodded obediently.

"My little girl is so good!"

Lu Chen gently ruffled the little girl's pigtails.

……

On this side of the Battle Through the Heavens world.

Xiao Xun'er had just returned to her room when Gu Yuan, who had already left, reappeared.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Xiao Xun'er was also surprised to see Gu Yuan return.

"Xun'er, I have a few questions I'd like to ask you."

Gu Yuan spoke in a gentle voice.

"Father, please speak."

Xiao Xun'er spoke softly.

"How much does Xun'er know about those people from earlier?"

Gu Yuan spoke directly.

Xiao Xun'er shook her head slightly and said:

"I had Elder Ling investigate. The origins of these people are very mysterious. All we know is that they are friends of Brother Xiao Yan."
