Chapter 12 Master's Wife, Master, Can I Lend You My Hand?
Gu Yunzhou planned to take Liu Yan to the secret realm to seek opportunities.
Yunfeng lost all face in the Qingyun Sect, and was even refused when he tried to take on a few disciples.
Several sect elders felt that he was incapable of teaching disciples, and that promising disciples had been ruined in his hands.
Even the sect leader said that he already has enough disciples and was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take care of them all, so he wouldn't let him take on any more disciples.
He wanted his disciples to prove themselves, but Yunfeng couldn't obtain cultivation resources for ten years, so he decided to go outside to seek opportunities.
Although no particularly special secret realms have emerged yet, Liu Yan is a Qi Refining stage disciple, and he was worried that she might get hurt in a secret realm that was too dangerous.
So he decided to first explore the ordinary secret realms.
When the other disciples of Yunfeng learned that their master was going to take Junior Sister Yan on a trip, they all wanted to go along.
The disciples of Qingyun Sect look down on them now. If their master leaves, they won't have a good life here.
Finally, Gu Yunzhou left with all the disciples on Yunfeng Peak.
The secret realms that Gu Yunzhou visited were the same ones that Jiang He had visited before.
However, all the great opportunities inside were taken by Jiang He, and they could only encounter some ordinary spiritual herbs and kill some demonic beasts.
Their cultivation levels did not improve much.
A secret realm has emerged in the cultivation world, attracting disciples from all major sects to explore it, as well as various independent cultivators who also hope to seize an opportunity.
The Qingyun Sect also decided to send its disciples there for training.
Jiang He knew that it was in this secret realm that Gu Yunzhou and Liu Yan broke their master-disciple relationship and even cultivated together in the cave.
Jiang He and another sect elder, Elder Lu, led the team together.
Jiang He is the sect leader's daughter, and she is already at the Nascent Soul stage, while Elder Lu is at the late Golden Core stage. Therefore, Jiang He is in charge of the team, with Elder Lu assisting her.
"Elder Jiang, we have arrived at the location of the secret realm. Should the disciples explore separately or together?"
"Elder Lu, this is the first time we've explored this secret realm, and the safety situation inside is unknown. I still prefer to explore it together."
Jiang He planned to show everyone Gu Yunzhou and Liu Yan their shameful behavior and spread their scandalous affairs throughout the entire cultivation world.
Elder Lu nodded: "This time, cultivators from various sects have come, so friction is inevitable. For the safety of our disciples, let's explore together."
Elder Lu agreed with Jiang He's words, saying that if there really were some rare and precious treasures, it would be more likely to be obtained by having more people.
If you are scattered, although the chances of encountering rare and precious materials are greater, you may not be able to withstand them even if you do.
Upon entering the secret realm, they unexpectedly encountered Gu Yunzhou and his disciples.
Elder Lu saw that Gu Yunzhou was also there and went to invite them to come along.
Although he didn't think much of Gu Yunzhou, they were all disciples of the Qingyun Sect outside, so naturally they should stand together against a common enemy.
Unfortunately, Gu Yunzhou didn't appreciate it.
If they were to travel together and acquire any rare and precious materials, those would belong to the Qingyun Sect and would certainly not end up in his hands.
He might as well go find it himself; whatever he gets will be his.
Moreover, this time Jiang He is leading the team, so don't even think about him listening to Jiang He.
He has made up his mind that once he breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, he will dissolve his Daoist partnership with Jiang He in front of everyone.
Jiang He, she doesn't deserve it.
"let's go."
"Master, are we really not going to go with them?"
"Of course not, Yan'er, do you want to give away the rare and precious materials you found? Your teacher can't bear to do that."
“That’s right, Junior Sister Yan, you always manage to find spiritual herbs and go with them, which just benefits them.”
The secret realm they had visited before had been trodden by countless cultivators. It was still quite remarkable that Junior Sister Yan was able to find resources there, even though they weren't particularly precious.
This secret realm has not yet been explored by anyone. They believe that Junior Sister Yan will definitely be able to find some excellent resources, and perhaps even obtain the inheritance of a powerful being or a lost cultivation technique.
"Yan'er will listen to Master." Liu Yan certainly didn't want to be with anyone else; she only wanted to be with her Master.
Gu Yunzhou left with his disciples.
"Elder Jiang, Elder Gu is unwilling to come with us."
"Then let's ignore them."
Jiang He chose a direction and led everyone off.
The secret realm contains many ancient spiritual flowers and herbs, which are rare and valuable resources.
So the disciples were searching the surrounding area for any spiritual flowers or herbs that they could pick.
After leading her disciples on a month-long tour of the secret realm, Jiang He calculated that Gu Yunzhou and Liu Yan should be almost there.
Then he led the people toward their destination.
Gu Yunzhou and Liu Yan were fleeing for their lives.
They found a thousand-year-old Dragon Flame Fruit in the secret realm. A hundred-year-old Dragon Flame Fruit can enable a cultivator with no cultivation to directly establish their foundation.
Not to mention the Thousand-Year Dragon Flame Fruit.
If taken, a Qi Refining cultivator might be able to directly reach the Golden Core stage, or even the Nascent Soul stage.
Those powerful cultivators who have been stuck at a certain realm for too long might be able to break through directly after consuming this Dragon Flame Fruit.
Gu Yunzhou was determined to obtain the Dragon Flame Fruit.
Perhaps this is the greatest opportunity in this secret realm.
They had to get their hands on it before anyone else could find it.
Gu Yunzhou thought that such a rare and precious treasure would surely be guarded by a powerful demonic beast, but he did not expect the demonic beast to be so powerful.
Even Gu Yunzhou was no match for them, and several of his disciples were either killed or injured.
Gu Yunzhou himself was also injured, and in the end he only managed to escape with Liu Yan and the Dragon Flame Fruit.
The two accidentally stumbled into a cave.
"Master, are you alright?" Liu Yan carefully helped Gu Yunzhou sit down, looking at the wall.
"Don't worry, Yan'er, Master is alright," Gu Yunzhou comforted Liu Yan.
"I wonder about my senior and junior brothers..."
"Yan'er, the situation just now was too dangerous. Even your master was no match for that monster. Your master only had time to get you away. The others can only wait for their fate."
"Master, I know, I know you have done your best. You even took the Dragon Flame Fruit away to lure away the demon beasts, hoping that my fellow disciples could turn the danger into safety."
"Yan'er, it's good that you understand your master."
Gu Yunzhou sat down to regulate his breathing.
He was badly injured, and he didn't know if the monster would suddenly come after him.
If he were to eat the Dragon Flame Fruit now, he could not only recover from his injuries but also break through to the Nascent Soul stage, making it easy for him to deal with that demonic beast.
However, this Dragon Flame Fruit was obtained by him for Liu Yan. After eating this fruit, Yan'er could go directly from Qi Refining to Golden Core. A Golden Core cultivator at the age of twenty-two would definitely shock the entire cultivation world.
However, the Dragon Flame Fruit has a strong medicinal effect. Yan'er is only at the Qi Refining stage. If she were to absorb so much cultivation power all at once, she would explode and die. Someone must clear her meridians to help her absorb it.
Gu Yunzhou originally intended for him to protect her.
But he's injured now and can't do it at all.
Gu Yunzhou told Liu Yan about his concerns.
“Master, since this Dragon Flame Fruit can help you recover from your injuries and improve your cultivation, then please eat it.”
"This was originally obtained by Master." After hearing Gu Yunzhou's words, Liu Yan urged Master to eat the Dragon Flame Fruit.
Since she couldn't eat it, her master ate it instead.
Otherwise, if that demonic beast or other cultivators come looking for them, they won't be able to protect the Dragon Flame Fruit, and their lives will be in danger.
Gu Yunzhou was deeply moved when he heard Liu Yan say this.
If it were anyone else, they would surely be tempted by such a treasure, but Yan'er didn't care at all. She only hoped that her master would be alright and willing to give her the Dragon Flame Fruit.
Whatever they found in the secret realm, Yan'er would give it to him immediately. His Yan'er, her heart and eyes were always with him.
"Yan'er, then I'll take this Dragon Flame Fruit. Once I recover, I'll definitely find something even better for you." Gu Yunzhou decided to eat the Dragon Flame Fruit.
“Master, it doesn’t matter to me. I know I have poor aptitude. Meeting you is the greatest luck of my life.”
Yan'er hopes her cultivation level will be higher, but that's only so she can stay with her master a little longer. Liu Yan looked at Gu Yunzhou with deep affection.
Gu Yunzhou looked at Liu Yan, feeling touched.
He understood what Yan'er meant. Time would tell, and how could he not know Yan'er's feelings for him?
He used to only know how to cultivate, and even after becoming Daoist partners with Jiang He, they still cultivated separately.
Since he brought Yan'er back from the mortal world, his life has become much more colorful.
He loved this kind of life and hoped that Yan'er could stay with him for a long, long time.
