"Ding, congratulations to the host for bestowing the Sword Orb, triggering a two-thousand-fold return. Return reward: Perfected Righteous Sword Intent."

  "Righteous Sword Intent: I cultivate my Primal Chaos Qi, nurturing a Righteous Sword Intent in my chest, capable of unleashing a powerful strike at a critical moment!

  On normal days, using Righteous Sword Intent in sword techniques will also provide a boost."

  "Ding, congratulations to the host for bestowing the Supreme Heaven-Grade Magical Artifact, the Hairpin Sword, triggering a three-thousand-fold return. Return reward: Mid-Grade Spirit Treasure: Earth First – Water Sword."

  "Ding, congratulations to the host for bestowing the special item, Glazed Immortal Crystal, triggering an eight-thousand-fold return. Return reward: Enlightenment Tea Sapling."

  Looking at these three return rewards, Gu Liangyuan was excited and even more certain of his thoughts.

  It seems that when it comes to bestowing disciples, quality is better than quantity.

  After finishing bestowing his disciples, Gu Liangyuan stayed at the inn for half a day, completely refining the Primal Chaos Qi before taking his three disciples and boarding the Double Dragon Jade Chariot again.

  The two Supreme Elders had somehow also appeared inside the chariot.

  Once ready, amidst the envious gazes of the cultivators below, the chariot soared into the sky, embarking on the return journey.

  Inside the chariot, Gu Liangyuan looked at the two silent Supreme Elders opposite him and directly cast a probe:

  Name: Wu Jiangtao

  Cultivation: Peak Void Refinement

  Spiritual Roots: Dual Wood-Fire Spiritual Roots

  Comprehended Law: Pure Yang Law

  Comprehension: Rare in a century

  Name: Li Daoyou

  Cultivation: Half-Step Unity

  Spiritual Roots: Supreme Fire Spiritual Roots

  Comprehended Law: Laws of Tea Dao

  Comprehension: Unremarkable

  Fate: Break and then establish

  Summary: A half-step Unity cultivator who failed Tribulation Crossing, unable to progress due to a Heavenly Dao Scar. Once healed, the cultivation path will be smooth.

  Gu Liangyuan's eyes gleamed as he looked at their attribute panels.

  Heaven helps me!

  Wu Jiangtao's cultivation problem is easily solved, and Li Daoyou's problem, which might have been difficult before, is now...

  Besides aiding in enlightenment, the greatest use of Enlightenment Tea is healing Dao injuries!

  With this, these two are at my disposal.

  As for Lv Qingmei... that can be dealt with later.

  The two felt Gu Liangyuan's intense gaze and looked a bit uneasy:

  "Junior Brother, what is this..."

  Hearing their inquiry, Gu Liangyuan snapped back to reality and said, "Senior Brothers, if I say I can help you advance further in your cultivation, would you be willing to join my Emotionless Peak?"

  The two frowned at first, then exchanged glances, seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

  Wu Jiangtao smiled at Gu Liangyuan, "Junior Brother, my potential is limited. Reaching this point is already my limit. To break through further..."

  Wu Jiangtao shook his head, "A fool's dream."

  Though he didn't say it outright, his words were full of rejection.

  Clearly, he didn't believe Gu Liangyuan could truly help him advance.

  Li Daoyou also shook his head with a smile, looking out at the rolling sea of clouds without speaking.

  Gu Liangyuan wasn't annoyed, speaking slowly, "Dao injuries are hard to heal, but not difficult for me."

  Li Daoyou turned his head sharply, "You can see my injuries?"

  Gu Liangyuan didn't respond, instead looking at Wu Jiangtao and speaking again:

  "It's not that your potential is limited, but that you haven't fully utilized it."

  Wu Jiangtao frowned, not understanding Gu Liangyuan's meaning.

  But as he pondered the words, he felt his mind stir, as if a fog was lifting.

  He had a premonition that breaking through this barrier would yield great rewards.

  So, he perked up his ears, waiting for Gu Liangyuan's next words.

  But at that moment, Gu Liangyuan smiled slightly, leaned back, and mimicked Li Daoyou's earlier posture, looking out the window without speaking.

  This made the two Supreme Elders anxious, with Wu Jiangtao being the first to lose patience, "Junior Brother, speak freely. If you can truly help me advance, joining Emotionless Peak is no issue!"

  Li Daoyou, however, thought more deeply, frowning slightly, "It doesn't matter where I go, but unlike Wu, I grew up in Limitless Peak. Moving to Emotionless Peak would be hard to explain to the Sect Master."

  Gu Liangyuan turned his head, "I was waiting for you two to say that. Don't worry about Qingmei, I'll handle it."

  Li Daoyou set aside his last concern and looked at Gu Liangyuan:

  "Then please, Junior Brother, tell us your method."

  Gu Liangyuan smiled confidently, flipping his hand to reveal a small sapling.

  The sapling was entirely green, enveloped in rich Dao Essence, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

  Just smelling it made the two feel clear-headed, as if on the verge of enlightenment.

  Li Daoyou stood up suddenly, exclaiming, "Enlightenment Tea Tree!"

  Hearing Li Daoyou's words, Wu Jiangtao also showed surprise.

  The Enlightenment Tea Tree is a legendary spiritual item.

  Throughout the Eastern Continent, only one is recorded, controlled by several Hidden Families, rarely seen outside.

  Even the Supreme Holy Land only receives three to five leaves annually, with many coveting them. Li Daoyou received even fewer.

  Over centuries, he had only collected ten leaves.

  Li Daoyou had calculated that to fully heal his Dao injury, he'd need at least one or two leaves, an impossible task even if he exhausted his lifespan.

  He had given up hope, never expecting Gu Liangyuan to have a whole tree!

  Gu Liangyuan spoke slowly, "Indeed, this is the Enlightenment Tea Tree."

  "Can this heal your Dao injury, Senior Brother?"

  Li Daoyou couldn't take his eyes off the tree, nodding excitedly:

  "More than enough, one or two leaves will suffice!"

  Seeing Li Daoyou's eagerness, Gu Liangyuan handed the Enlightenment Tea Tree to him.

  Li Daoyou hesitated, "Junior Brother, this is..."

  Gu Liangyuan said, "From now on, the Enlightenment Tea Tree is yours to manage. When it matures, keep half a tael each harvest as your monthly stipend."

  Li Daoyou didn't immediately accept it, instead looking intently at Gu Liangyuan:

  "Aren't you afraid I'll run off with the Enlightenment Tea Tree?"

  Gu Liangyuan looked at Li Daoyou seriously, "I trust you, Senior Brother!"

  Li Daoyou laughed heartily, "It seems I must go to Emotionless Peak!"

  With that, he accepted the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

  Gu Liangyuan also smiled. The tree produced two pounds annually, and half a tael a year was a small price to keep a promising half-step Unity cultivator.

  Most importantly, Li Daoyou had comprehended the Laws of Tea Dao, making him perfect for cultivating and caring for the tree.

  As for why he wasn't worried about Li Daoyou running away?

  The system's rewards were marked with his imprint, impossible to remove.

  No matter where in the world, finding it would be just a thought away.
