My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 401 - 81: [Second Update]
After no one else came out of the Secret Realm, Immortal Venerable Hao Lan and several others withdrew their immortal power, glanced at the disciples, encouraged them briefly, and then allowed them to leave.
Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu, Mu Chen, and Nan Hua went to their respective mentors to report on the events that happened in the Secret Realm.
"It’s good that you are unharmed. Let’s head to my place first," Immortal Venerable Hao Lan assessed Gu Qingqing, noticing not only was she fine, but her cultivation had also improved. He instantly smiled and spoke with a cheerful expression.
"Yes, Master." Gu Qingqing naturally had no objections. She nodded and followed respectfully behind Immortal Venerable Hao Lan.
The two arrived at Immortal Venerable Hao Lan’s cave abode, where a servant brought tea for Gu Qingqing and Immortal Venerable Hao Lan before carefully retreating.
"Tell me, how was your experience in the Secret Realm?" Immortal Venerable Hao Lan asked Gu Qingqing after taking a sip of tea.
Gu Qingqing recounted her general experiences in the Secret Realm, including her and Jun Wu entering a secret space where their cultivation improved, which surprised Immortal Venerable Hao Lan. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"That indeed is a stroke of luck for you and Jun Wu," he nodded, "You’ve already advanced to Taiyi True Immortal. Very good."
Gu Qingqing smiled, also feeling that her and Jun Wu’s fortune was quite favorable.
"Just in time, I have prepared something for you that can now be put to use." Immortal Venerable Hao Lan said, as an item appeared in his hand, "This is a seven-color stone I prepared for you. It perfectly enhances the quality of your Mixed Immortal Silk."
He tossed the seven-color stone to Gu Qingqing, his expression very amiable.
Gu Qingqing caught the seven-color stone with surprise, "Master, this is too valuable. I can’t accept it."
Seven-color stones are considered rather precious materials in the Immortal Realm. When added to weapons, they can elevate the quality of the weapon. Gu Qingqing had previously wanted to find one and didn’t expect Immortal Venerable Hao Lan had already prepared it. However, she felt she hadn’t done anything substantial, and receiving something from Immortal Venerable Hao Lan felt somewhat inappropriate.
Immortal Venerable Hao Lan waved his hand dismissively, "This is prepared for you by your master, just take it."
Gu Qingqing looked at Immortal Venerable Hao Lan, seeing his smile but firm attitude, she reluctantly accepted it, thinking to herself that she must show more filial piety to Immortal Venerable Hao Lan in the future.
"Do you need me to help you find Peak Master Rong?" Immortal Venerable Hao Lan asked with a deepened smile seeing Gu Qingqing accept it.
"No need, Master, Ah Wu is quite skilled in artifact refining, he can assist me." Gu Qingqing shook her head and replied.
Immortal Venerable Hao Lan thought for a moment; he had indeed heard Peak Master Rong mention that Jun Wu also knew artifact refining, feeling he had received a valuable disciple. And he was aware of Jun Wu’s relationship with Gu Qingqing, so he didn’t bring it up further.
"Alright, you just emerged from the Secret Realm, and you must be exhausted, so take a rest for now." Immortal Venerable Hao Lan felt that everything necessary had been discussed, and as Gu Qingqing had just exited the Secret Realm, he didn’t keep her any longer, gesturing for her to leave.
"Yes, thank you, Master. I shall take my leave." Gu Qingqing didn’t refuse and immediately left.
Upon returning to the cave abode, Jun Wu and the others were already there.
The cave abode was well cared for by the servants, very clean. Seeing Nan Hua and the others, Gu Qingqing knew they must be there because of the events after she and Jun Wu had vanished. She glanced at Jun Wu, who shook his head, and sat down beside him.
"Third Senior Brother, after the four-winged Blood Python self-destructed that day, I managed to escape disaster due to the bracelet Master gave me and was caught in a spatial fissure with Ah Wu. When we woke up, we found ourselves in a place with very dense Immortal Qi, where there were many spirit flowers and herbs. After collecting some, we found a pool of Ten Thousand Years Immortal Liquid. Ah Wu and I cultivated there for several days and directly advanced our cultivation to Taiyi True Immortal Low Level. I also brought some Ten Thousand Years Immortal Liquid for you all, later you can take it back and enter closed-door cultivation for diligent practice." Saying this, Gu Qingqing waved her hand, and two large bottles of prepared Ten Thousand Years Immortal Liquid appeared before them.
Nan Hua and Mu Chen exchanged glances, having anticipated some encounter of fortune for Jun Wu and Gu Qingqing but not expecting such a remarkable experience. The elusive Ten Thousand Years Immortal Liquid was indeed a serendipitous encounter, prompting them to marvel at Gu Qingqing being favored by the Heavenly Dao!
Seeing that Gu Qingqing had also prepared Ten Thousand Years Immortal Liquid for them, both were deeply moved, which is why they always pamper Gu Qingqing—she always keeps them in mind, never forgetting them when she finds something good, just as they never forget her!
Without unnecessary fuss, both accepted the Ten Thousand Years Immortal Liquid offered by Gu Qingqing.
"We’ll enter closed-door cultivation soon," Nan Hua accepted the bottle containing the Ten Thousand Years Immortal Liquid and said to Gu Qingqing.
"Once you all are out of closed-door cultivation, let’s find First Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, and Fifth Senior Brother, and give them the Ten Thousand Years Immortal Liquid as well." Gu Qingqing nodded, seriously discussing the next step of the plan.
"Alright, everything will go as Qingqing suggests." Nan Hua nodded, looking indulgently at Gu Qingqing.
Gu Qingqing returned with a sweet smile.
With the Ten Thousand Years Immortal Liquid, Nan Hua and Mu Chen were eager to elevate their cultivation, and after speaking briefly to Gu Qingqing, they left her cave abode.
After seeing them off, Gu Qingqing returned to her room with Jun Wu.
"Phew, finally out of the Secret Realm. Although I was only there for ten days, it feels like such a long time has passed, I’m so tired." Gu Qingqing lay down on the bed directly, stretched lazily, and murmured languidly.
"Really?" Jun Wu lay beside Gu Qingqing, turned toward her, wearing a faint smile, "I felt fine, just a bit unaccustomed to having you out of sight."
Unexpectedly, Jun Wu said such a thing, leaving Gu Qingqing momentarily stunned, she turned her head back, poutingly glanced at Jun Wu, "Why mention that suddenly?"
"Nothing much, I just missed Qingqing a bit." Jun Wu turned over, his hands supporting either side of Gu Qingqing’s head, he lowered his head, gazing at her passionately.
Gu Qingqing too looked at Jun Wu, their eyes met, and she felt like there were whirlpools within Jun Wu’s eyes, drawing her directly in, unable to look away.
The warm breath from Jun Wu fell upon Gu Qingqing’s face, causing her cheeks to quickly turn red, her heartbeat raced, the surrounding temperature seemed ever-rising, and in her eyes, everything vanished, leaving only Jun Wu’s silhouette.
Seeing Gu Qingqing flushed, gazing at him with moist eyes, Jun Wu’s barely contained desire fully lost control, he finally couldn’t help but lower his head, kissing the red lips he had longed for.
