Gu Liangyuan's face lit up with joy, "Is there news about the Glazed Immortal Crystal?"

  Song Head nodded excitedly, "I spent a hefty sum to have a senior brother from Heavenly Secrets Peak calculate it, and the direction points straight east."

  "So I followed this lead and indeed found out that at the end of this month, the Treasure Pavilion – Ghost City Branch will hold an auction."

  "Although the specific auction list hasn't been released, the highlight is a High-Grade Spirit Treasure, and it's said that many Great Ascension Cultivators are flocking to it."

  "I thought, at such a grand auction, the Glazed Immortal Crystal should appear. Who knows, there might even be Primal Chaos Qi."

  Upon hearing this, Gu Liangyuan lightly tapped his forehead, "I forgot to have someone from Heavenly Secrets Peak divine it earlier."

  Saying that, he waved his hand, and a Heaven-Grade Magical Artifact floated in front of Song Head, "You did well on this matter, here's your reward."

  Song Head looked at the Heaven-Grade Magical Artifact, his grin nearly reaching his ears, "Thank you, Martial Uncle."

  Gu Liangyuan patted Song Head's shoulder, "Continue to work well for me, and you won't be shortchanged."

  "Later, inform Wang Defa to select some disciples and have fifty Inner Disciples ready before I return."

  "Got it, Martial Uncle, you can count on me."

  After Song Head left, Song Xian'er blinked her bright eyes, "Master, what is the Glazed Immortal Crystal? It sounds so familiar."

  Gu Liangyuan smiled slightly, "You have the Glazed Immortal Physique, but it hasn't been activated. The condition to activate it is the Glazed Immortal Crystal."

  Song Xian'er knew that Gu Liangyuan had been inquiring about the Glazed Immortal Crystal for some time. From bits and pieces, she guessed it was extremely precious and saw how much Gu Liangyuan cared about it. But she didn't expect it was all for her. Although she had no concept of the Glazed Immortal Physique, it didn't stop her from being moved. Her master had thought of everything for her. From childhood to now, she seemed never to have met anyone who treated her so well.

  Looking at Gu Liangyuan's jade-like face, an inexplicable emotion arose in her heart.

  Gu Liangyuan, not dwelling on other thoughts, calculated that there were less than half a month until the auction began. And Ghost City was 800,000 miles away from here, so preparations had to be made quickly.

  As for how to travel... Of course, it would be the Double Dragon Jade Chariot! Having just acquired this flashy ride, how could he not take it for a spin? As for the teleportation array, even a dog wouldn't sit in it!

  In the following two days, Gu Liangyuan began a frenzy of disciple recruitment returns, then turned the returned magical treasures into cash, causing his wealth to skyrocket. Until his wealth reached two million Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones, the system suddenly showed a 0.1 times return, shocking Gu Liangyuan into stopping this behavior immediately. If there were several consecutive 0.1 times returns, his assets would shrink drastically.

  Through long-term use, he roughly understood the system's pattern. Apart from the increased chance of high returns when first recruiting disciples, the fewer things he usually bestowed, the higher the return multiplier seemed to be. Conversely, the more he bestowed, the lower the return multiplier. Gu Liangyuan lamented this and resolved not to lavishly reward in the future, to bestow sparingly, and only with supreme-grade items.

  With two million in hand, Gu Liangyuan also greeted Lv Qingmei and borrowed two old monsters of the same generation as him. Lv Qingmei was somewhat speechless about Gu Liangyuan borrowing the Supreme Elders. Since Gu Liangyuan reached the Nascent Soul stage, he had left the sect twice, and each time he called on the Supreme Elders. She initially worried that Gu Liangyuan, upon enlightenment and reaching the Nascent Soul stage, would become arrogant. Now it seemed that Gu Liangyuan's caution exceeded her expectations!

  Regarding his three disciples, Gu Liangyuan initially only wanted to take Song Xian'er, but then thought it was a good opportunity to let Mo Chen distance himself from Liu Shuang for a while and focus on practicing the Scripture of Emotionlessness. Then, having taken two disciples, leaving one behind seemed inappropriate. It was also a chance for Qian Qiu to gain some experience. So, he decided to take them all.

  On this day, the sun was shining brightly, and the sky was clear! A gentle breeze blew, rustling the leaves on the seven peaks of Taishang, creating a pleasant atmosphere. Within the seven peaks, elders and disciples came and went. A young man in white, surrounded by Sword Qi, flew on his sword. A drunken old man rode a gourd upside down, speeding through the sky. Some rode dragon elephants, others drove celestial cranes; some sang wildly, others danced with wide sleeves. A scene of a Great Immortal Sect, full of auspicious signs!

  At this moment, two high-pitched dragon roars echoed from Emotionless Peak. Everyone paused, looking up to see two white dragons, with claws and teeth bared, soaring into the sky from Emotionless Peak! The wind follows the tiger, and the clouds follow the dragon! Wherever the white dragons went, clouds formed instantly! Amidst the vast white clouds, a white jade chariot, adorned with mysterious patterns, shimmered and floated, appearing and disappearing. Amidst the gasps of the crowd, the two white dragons suddenly straightened their bodies, accompanied by the sound of a sonic boom from their tails, turning into a stream of light and shooting forward, disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

  Long after the stream of light vanished, an elder regained his senses, "My goodness, if I didn't see wrong, that's a flying spirit treasure!"

  Someone chimed in, "And not a low-grade one at that. Judging by the momentum, it's much stronger than our Sect Master's Phoenix Chariot."

  "I knew Martial Uncle Ancestor was generous with his disciples, but I thought he was saving up by living frugally. Now it seems Emotionless Peak truly has its treasures!"

  "When Song Head was transferred there, I was gloating, thinking he'd have no future. Now it seems the joke's on me?"

  "Indeed," the elder beside him confirmed.

  The elders reacted this way, and the disciples below were even more amazed.

  Inside the jade chariot, Gu Liangyuan watched everything with satisfaction. This was the feeling, just right.

  Outside, due to the high-speed flight, the wind was fierce. But inside the chariot, it was as steady as a mountain, without the slightest shake.

  The two Supreme Elders Gu Liangyuan borrowed sat opposite him, looking around with envy, "Junior Brother, I didn't expect Emotionless Peak to have such a treasure. The previous peak masters hid it well, not a word leaked."

  Clearly, they also believed this was a spirit treasure left from earlier years at Emotionless Peak.

  Gu Liangyuan was happy to let them think so and said, "Even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Why don't you two come to Emotionless Peak?"

  "Whatever Qingmei gives you as a monthly stipend, I'll double it!"

  The two smiled at Gu Liangyuan's words and said no more.

  Gu Liangyuan lamented; if he could recruit these two, his sense of security would be complete. But no rush, since they were already borrowed, they wouldn't escape.

  Return them? Why should I return what I borrowed with skill?

  Did Liu Bei return Jingzhou? Did the straw boat return the arrows? Zhuge Liang didn't return the east wind either!
