My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 482 - 162: [First Update]

The familiar aura that Gu Qingqing felt was coming from this wooden box.

She reached out her hand, pointed at the wooden box, and asked the stall owner, "Boss, may I take a look at this?"

Upon hearing her voice, the stall owner glanced her way. After seeing what Gu Qingqing was pointing at, he just nodded slightly and withdrew his gaze, no longer looking in that direction.

Gu Qingqing thought the stall owners around here were quite individualistic. However, the most important thing at the moment was this box; she needed to know what was inside that gave her such a familiar feeling.

Once she had the box in her hand, she found it to be very lightweight. She shook it gently but heard no sound, which made her even more curious about its contents.

Fortunately, there was no array or similar mechanism on the box. She easily opened it and saw a jade token inside. It was carved with the character "Chi," looking quite ordinary, and the jade quality also appeared common.

At the moment she saw the jade token, Gu Qingqing immediately remembered why it felt familiar to her.

The aura of this jade token was exactly the same as the one they encountered in the Immortal Secret Realm on the Xuantian Continent. At that time, she met Venerable Red Flame there; since her talents weren’t suitable for inheriting his legacy, the Venerable’s inheritance was given to her senior brother Mu Chen. However, Venerable Red Flame gave her a great gift, which was his treasure house.

As an alchemist, and one of Immortal Venerable rank, the collections of Venerable Red Flame were imaginable.

Due to the passage of time and the many experiences she had been through, this matter had almost slipped her mind. It was only now, encountering this jade token, that she recalled it.

Most importantly, if she remembered correctly, this jade token was the key to one of the treasure houses.

With the impending catastrophe, they needed to improve their cultivation quickly. It’s conceivable that there might be something in Venerable Red Flame’s treasure house to help with that. Even if not, a treasure house of an Immortal Venerable would still be worth a visit!

With this in mind, she closed the lid and looked at other items on the stall, finally focusing on the Spirit Rhinoceros Flower, a fifth-grade immortal herb.

"How much for this Spirit Rhinoceros Flower?" she pointed to the flower and asked the stall owner.

"Ten thousand immortal currency," the stall owner swept a glance and replied in a slightly hoarse voice.

"And what about this box?" Gu Qingqing shook the box in her hand and asked casually.

"Five hundred immortal currency," the stall owner glanced at Gu Qingqing, thought for a moment, and said.

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Gu Qingqing’s eyes. She didn’t hide her fondness for the box; she expected the other party to seize the opportunity to increase the price. Although five hundred immortal currency was still expensive, it was much better than she anticipated. She bought it without a second thought, then placed the Spirit Rhinoceros Flower and the box into her storage space together.

After that, she lost interest in shopping and pulled Jun Wu back to their cave abode.

"Geng Geng, why did you buy this box?" Upon seeing Gu Qingqing take the box out as soon as they returned, Jun Wu asked curiously.

Although the patterns on the box were indeed unique, Jun Wu didn’t think the box was worth five hundred immortal currency. But Gu Qingqing bought it anyway; while at the workshop, he refrained from asking due to the potential of others overhearing. Now back at the cave, he could naturally inquire.

"Do you remember the Immortal Secret Realm we entered on the Xuantian Continent?" Gu Qingqing opened the wooden box, took the jade token out, and asked Jun Wu.

"I remember," Jun Wu thought for a moment and quickly recalled that realm, nodding.

"The master of the Secret Realm was an Immortal. While inside, I received a gift from him. He informed me of his treasure house’s location and gave the entire treasure house to me. However, after we ascended to the Immortal Realm, our cultivation was too low to go there. Later, I forgot about it, but just now, I felt the same aura from this jade token as in the Secret Realm." Gu Qingqing, of course, didn’t hide this from Jun Wu and explained slowly.

"So, this jade token is related to that Immortal’s treasure house?" Jun Wu immediately caught on and asked a bit surprised.

"Exactly, this is the key to one of the treasure houses." Gu Qingqing nodded, looking at the jade token in her hand.

After speaking, she directly placed the jade token on her forehead. Instantly, a series of texts appeared in her mind, giving her more knowledge about the treasure house.

"The location of the treasure house was already told to me by that elder, and this jade token also records a map. The collection of an Immortal Venerable should be quite abundant. We can go take a look." Gu Qingqing put away the jade token and said to Jun Wu.

"When shall we go?" Jun Wu was also somewhat interested in this treasure house and asked.

"Once our fourth senior brother comes out of closed-door training. Our fourth senior brother is also considered that elder’s disciple, bearing his legacy. He might be of use then." Gu Qingqing considered and replied.

"Alright." Jun Wu had no objections and agreed directly.

...

This time, Mu Chen’s closed-door training lasted quite a while. It wasn’t until a month later that a powerful aura emanated from his cave abode, indicating that he had successfully promoted.

When he emerged from the cave, his cultivation had progressed from the Golden Immortal Middle Stage to the Mid-stage Daluo Golden Immortal Realm.

"Congratulations to our fourth senior brother on the promotion!" Gu Qingqing, who was waiting outside the cave, was the first to speak upon seeing Mu Chen come out.

Mu Chen’s lips curled into a slight smile, very satisfied with his current state. Upon hearing Gu Qingqing’s words, he looked at her and said, "It’s all thanks to you, Geng Geng, for giving me the Tree Heart; otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to advance to the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm so quickly."

"This is wonderful. All of our cultivations have reached the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm now, neatly in line." Nan Hua shook his fan, happy for Mu Chen.

Si Lin and Yue Zhao nodded in agreement with Nan Hua’s statement.

After Mu Chen’s promotion, he first went to visit his master. That evening, the group gathered at Mu Chen’s cave abode.

"It’s been so long since we’ve gathered like this." With a wine cup in hand, Nan Hua took a sip, put down the cup, and said with emotion.

Since ascending to the Immortal Realm, they’ve had different experiences. To quickly enhance their cultivation, they were either in closed-door training or out on missions, making it indeed hard to get together. The last time was more than a year ago.

"Yesterday, Geng Geng told me about the treasure house. What do you all plan to do?" As the senior brother, Si Lin thought of the matter regarding Venerable Red Flame’s treasure house that Gu Qingqing mentioned and looked at the others.

"What’s there to plan? Now that Mu Chen has finished his training, let’s leave as soon as possible. Besides, we recently progressed in our cultivation rapidly. We need battles to refine and stabilize it." Nan Hua said directly."Third senior brother is right, we do need to properly hone our cultivation to prevent any instability."
