Tantai Bingtang reveals to Tantai Xueling that their mission involves finding a "key"—a descendant of the Nether River ghost and a Saintess—who may hold the secret to breaking Venerable Ming River's seal. In exchange for Xueling's help, Bingtang promises to reveal the location of a crucial item. Meanwhile, Gu Sheng helps Gu Yuanyuan disperse her cultivation using a Nine-Striped Dispersing Pill, only to have her immediately begin cultivating a new ancient technique, the Mixed Element Qi Scripture, with the help of an Ice Soul Pearl and a Glazed Heart, rapidly rebuilding her strength.

"Activate the Cultivation Technique, absorb the medicinal power!"

Gu Sheng shouted in a low voice, simultaneously forming seals with both hands, unleashing the True Yuan within!

An invisible force instantly enveloped the entire Alchemy Room, forcibly gathering and compressing the surrounding dense nature’s spiritual energy, injecting it toward Gu Yuanyuan!

At the same time, he waved his large sleeves, and dozens of High-grade Spirit Stones with a crystalline luster flew out, hovering around Gu Yuanyuan!

The True Yuan at his fingertips flickered like sharp blades, instantly crushing those Spirit Stones one by one!

The exceptionally pure spiritual energy exploded out like a breached flood!

Mixing with the nature’s spiritual energy gathered by Gu Sheng, forming an even more imposing energy tide, wildly surging into Gu Yuanyuan’s body!

Gu Yuanyuan felt like her body was a bottomless pit, greedily devouring this massive amount of energy!

Nourished simultaneously by the Glazed Heart and the surging spiritual energy, her aura soared once more! The bottleneck at the Peak of the Spirit Martial Realm instantly loosened!

A powerful wave of aura erupted from her body! Sect Realm!

Just as her aura was about to break through the First Level of the Sect Realm, continuing to climb—

"Stop!"

Gu Sheng’s voice exploded in her Sea of Consciousness!

Gu Yuanyuan’s body jolted fiercely, forcibly suppressing the surging True Yuan within, halting the momentum of her breakthrough.

She slowly opened her eyes, confusion and exhaustion reflected in them.

"The realm is elevating too quickly, the foundation is unstable, endless future troubles."

Gu Sheng looked at her, his tone serious.

"The First Level of the Sect Realm is already the limit. Next, you need to stabilize the realm, refine the True Yuan, and only after the foundation is completely solid should you proceed with further breakthroughs."

He paused for a moment, then continued.

"Once your realm is stabilized, I will impart a Secret Technique to help you open a second Sea of Consciousness."

"Second Sea of Consciousness?!"

Gu Yuanyuan’s eyes widened at the words, filled with incredulous shock!

Opening a second Sea of Consciousness? Such a Secret Technique, unheard of! Master’s methods are simply unbelievable!

"Yes."

Gu Sheng nodded.

"Additionally, in the depths of Linyin Pavilion’s Scripture Pavilion, some fragments of Ancient Secret Techniques are stored. In the future, you must often go to comprehend them, and record your insights in detail to hand over to me."

"Yes, Master! Disciple understands!"

Gu Yuanyuan suppressed the shock in her heart, nodding forcefully.

She understood that this was her master’s trust in her, and also a form of tempering.

"Alright, that’s enough for today. Go back, rest well, and stabilize your realm."

Gu Sheng waved his hand.

"Yes, Master!"

Gu Yuanyuan respectfully saluted. Though physically exhausted, her spirit was exceptionally invigorated.

She turned, stepping lightly as she left the Alchemy Room.

Gu Sheng also followed out of the Alchemy Room.

Just stepping out of the underground layer, Shadow’s figure appeared in front of him, presenting a Jade Scroll with both hands.

"Master, the inventory of items within the Qiankun Wooden Box gifted by Nangong Qingyue has been completed."

Shadow’s voice was flat and emotionless.

Gu Sheng took the Jade Scroll, his Divine Sense probing into it. The Jade Scroll detailed the items within the wooden box: various rare Spiritual Medicines, ores, Artifact Refining materials, Jade Scroll Cultivation Techniques... a dazzling array, of considerable value.

Among them was a crystal of glazed color, emitting a rich life aura—Glazed Heart! Almost identical to the one gifted by Elder Bai Yu!

Gu Sheng’s eyes gleamed. The Nangong family’s secret collection is indeed extraordinary! Even treasures like the Glazed Heart are among their collection!

"Inform Nangong Qingyue."

Gu Sheng put away the Jade Scroll, his voice calm.

"I have accepted her commission. Tell her to send that trace of the enemy’s aura to Linyin Pavilion’s Intelligence Hall. I will have someone start investigating."

"Yes!"

Shadow accepted the order, his figure flashing as he disappeared.

Gu Sheng strode out of Linyin Pavilion’s doors. The night was deep, the Underground City streets still ablaze with lights, though the pedestrians had significantly thinned.

Not far after walking out, he saw a cool figure approaching, it was Tantai Xueling.

She seemed to have just returned from outside, with a subtle fatigue on her face, but her gaze was still clear.

The blood-colored vine wrapped around her right arm glowed eerily under the lamplight.

"Xueling."

Gu Sheng halted his steps.

Tantai Xueling, upon seeing Gu Sheng, paused slightly, her cool gaze landing on him, nodding slightly.

"Yes."

"Yuanyuan has re-cultivated after dispersion, making good progress."

Gu Sheng said.

"In a few days, I plan to send her out for training. Qingxuan, that girl with an adventurous nature, also needs tempering. At that time, I will trouble you to take them both out."

Tantai Xueling was surprised at the words, then nodded.

"Alright. I will arrange it."

She paused for a moment, seemingly wanting to say something, but hesitating.

Gu Sheng saw her hesitation, his eyes carrying a teasing hint, suddenly said.

"Yuanyuan, that girl, lively mind, speaks with no reservations. Her calling you ’Master’s Wife,’ you need not take to heart."

"You!"

Tantai Xueling’s cool face flushed with two rosy blushes, extending all the way to her ears!

Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, she looked at Gu Sheng with embarrassed annoyance, the blood-colored vine on her arm slightly twisting due to her emotional fluctuation.

"Who... who would care! You... you stop speaking nonsense!"

Seeing her rare display of shyness, Gu Sheng’s lips imperceptibly curved into a subtle arc.

Just as the atmosphere grew delicate—

Suddenly, change erupted!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sharp, piercing sounds of air being sliced through suddenly echoed!

Hundreds of Poison Needles, as thin as ox hair and glowing with eerie blue light, shot out without warning from the shadows of both sides of the street, the rooftops, and even gaps in the ground!

Their target, directly at Gu Sheng and Tantai Xueling!

Each Poison Needle contained terrifying penetration power capable of piercing through a Sect Realm’s Protective True Essence!

Furthermore, they emitted a heart-palpitating sickly sweet scent, clearly laced with deadly poison!
