"Master, what's wrong with you?"
The next day, seeing Zhi Meng's gloomy face, Gu Qing couldn't help but ask her curiously.
"without!"
An awkward expression flashed across Zhi Meng's face.
She absolutely couldn't let Gu Qing know that she had been tricked by a scoundrel.
That's right.
Zhi Meng has confirmed that the person who stole her Xuanhuang Mother Qi is definitely a scoundrel.
Otherwise, there would be no reason not to continue stealing her primordial energy.
They must have known she was on guard and dared not make a move.
She, on the other hand, was terrified and fled in panic.
This is utterly shameful; his lifelong reputation is ruined.
Zhi Meng felt ashamed and embarrassed just thinking about it, wishing she could turn back time and go back to slap herself twice.
She vowed that she would never back down if she encountered something like this again.
"Oh!"
Gu Qing responded with an "oh," without giving it much thought.
Zhi Meng glanced at Bai Suying and smiled, "This is your Daoist partner, Bai Suying?"
"Su Ying greets the Goddess."
Bai Suying's heart tightened, and she bowed respectfully.
"No need to be polite."
Zhi Meng reached out and gently lifted Bai Suying up, saying with a kind smile, "Yin Yuan Glazed Body, not bad. I will accept you as a disciple, so that it will be convenient for you to cultivate in the Star God Palace."
Although she looked down on the Yin Yuan Glazed Body, Bai Suying was Gu Qing's Daoist partner, so she naturally had to pave the way for him.
Becoming her disciple by name puts one on par with a true disciple of the Star Temple.
You can earn a huge number of contribution points every month without having to do any tasks.
Furthermore, as long as you have enough contribution points, you can exchange them for any treasure in the temple.
"Thank you Master!"
Bai Suying was overjoyed, her excitement evident in her expression.
For her, gaining Zhi Meng's approval was a leap in status and a symbol of power.
From now on, she will be Gu Qing's proper Daoist partner.
Bai Wuyai, standing to the side, was also extremely excited, his expression beaming with pride.
His daughter has an unparalleled genius as her Daoist partner and a powerful expert at the Divine Fire Realm as her master. His daughter has received an immense blessing and has a chance to achieve immortality.
"Yes, this is the sacred artifact, the Seven-Colored Phoenix Skirt, which I'm giving to you."
With a wave of her hand, Zhi Meng presented Bai Suying with a seven-colored glass fairy dress.
"Hi~"
The father, daughter, and several concubines gasped.
Holy artifact!
This is a priceless treasure that countless people dream of but can never obtain.
Let alone possessing it, Bai Wuyai, as a Venerable Realm cultivator, had barely even seen it a few times before meeting Gu Qing.
They're giving it away now, just like that.
Too luxurious.
"I wish I could become Brother Gu Qing's Daoist partner!" Chu Ling'er stood behind Gu Qing, peeking out with her big, bright eyes filled with envy.
"Take it!"
Seeing Bai Suying at a loss, Gu Qing chuckled.
Upon hearing this, Bai Suying accepted the gift with trembling hands.
"Thank you Master!"
Zhi Meng nodded slightly, flicked her long sleeves, and swept up the group. She stepped into the boundless starry sky, shifted the universe, and crossed time and space. In a moment, she returned to the Star God Temple.
"From now on, you will live on Goddess Peak!" Zhi Meng looked at Gu Qing, a hint of a smile appearing in her usually cold and indifferent eyes.
"what?"
Gu Qing was startled and glanced at Bai Suying.
When he was all alone, living on Goddess Peak was fine.
But now he's married.
"You can all stay here together."
Cultivation knows no time; a period of seclusion can last for several years, or even longer.
They didn't have much time to spend together to begin with.
If Gu Qing moves out, they'll have even less time to spend together in the future.
Therefore, such a filial disciple should naturally live with her.
"it is good!"
Since Zhi Meng had said so, Gu Qing no longer declined, though he couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
From now on, even taking a hot spring bath will probably require activating a special formation.
"Greetings, Goddess."
At this moment, a Venerable Elder stepped forward and bowed in respect before Zhi Meng.
"Okay, take him to apply for the status of an inner sect elder."
Zhi Meng nodded.
"Yes!"
"Good work."
Bai Wuyai left Goddess Peak with his concubines, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
It's truly a case of "when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."
"My name is Zhang Yunxiang. May I ask how you should address me?"
Zhang Yunxiang looked at him with envy.
It should be noted that the inner elders of the Starry Sky Temple have few duties but great authority, and countless Venerable Realm experts would fight tooth and nail to become one.
After all, there's a specific role for everyone.
Without an elder position, those who reach the Venerable Realm can only serve as elders of the main peaks or as outer sect elders. The next best positions are elders of the various deacons.
He was the elder of the Hall of Inheritance, responsible for registering disciples and elders.
Bai Wuyai, on the other hand, is quite fortunate. An outsider, he has suddenly become an inner sect elder and is favored by Zhi Meng. His future looks very promising. He is truly blessed.
He couldn't help but be envious.
"My name is Bai Wuyai. I hope you will take good care of me in the future."
"Not at all, it should be me asking for your help, fellow Daoist."
……
"Let's go, I'll take you to see that old geezer."
Zhi Meng led Gu Qing into a grotto-world, and they walked straight into a magnificent palace with carved beams and painted rafters, and divine light flowing around it, just like a temple.
In the center of the main hall, there was a huge coffin.
It is made entirely of divine iron and rare materials, and can be kept away from the secrets of heaven.
"Venerable Realm..."
"It's only been a few years, and you've already broken through to the Venerable Realm."
The old ancestor glanced at Gu Qing, his excited voice breaking down.
Upon closer inspection, the old ancestor was utterly shocked.
Gu Qing possessed abundant vital energy and profound Daoist charm, exuding a sacred and transcendent aura.
Could it be that Gu Qing has prematurely transformed his original nature and reversed his acquired nature to return to his innate nature?
Even if it wasn't, Gu Qing definitely didn't improve through treasures.
Its foundation is so solid that it is unparalleled throughout history.
Even Jiang Yu and Zhi Meng back then couldn't compare.
The more the ancestor thought about it, the more excited he became.
Another unparalleled powerhouse will emerge from their lineage.
"Disciple pays respects to the Ancestor."
Gu Qing bowed in greeting.
"Alright, alright, no need for such formalities."
The old ancestor laughed heartily, making no attempt to hide his excitement.
"You're too attached to appearances, Ancestor."
"I said softly," Zhi Meng said.
Ancestor: ……
That’s a good reminder. Don’t remind me next time.
Ancestor: "Gu Qing, do you want to ascend to the Immortal Realm now? Going to the Star Dao Sect in the Immortal Realm will allow you to receive better resources for cultivation."
"How...how can this be?"
Gu Qing was stunned. Ascending to the Venerable Realm? That was simply too unbelievable.
"I can arrange for a Divine Fire Realm expert to undergo tribulation and ascend to immortality. At that time, I will seal you in a special magic treasure to avoid the secrets of heaven and ascend together with you."
The ancestor explained.
This isn't the first time they've done this; they're experienced and it's absolutely safe.
"This...I need to think about it."
Gu Qing was tempted, but not by much.
After all, he has no shortage of cultivation resources.
He didn't believe that the immortal energy in the celestial realm was superior to the primordial energy of Xuanhuang.
Furthermore, he has so many female confidantes; what will happen to them if he just leaves like this?
We can't just abandon them for the sake of our future, can we?
"Alright, once you've made up your mind, just let me know."
The old ancestor was somewhat regretful, and his tone towards Zhi Meng became unpleasant: "You should stop your seclusion and focus on teaching him. You'll reap the rewards."
He felt that Gu Qing was unwilling to ascend, mostly because she was tied down by her Daoist partner.
Otherwise, who would give up the opportunity to rise to the top in one step?
They entrusted the person to Zhi Meng, and not only did Zhi Meng not teach him properly, but she also caused Gu Qing to have some kind of entanglement. She was really too competent.
"Ancestor, what do you mean by this? Gu Qing has achieved such a feat, surpassing all previous Zhou Tian Star God Bodies. Is that still because he became my disciple?"
Zhi Meng was unconvinced and started spouting lies.
"You...forget it."
The old ancestor was too lazy to argue with her, and instead said to Gu Qing, "You are still young. Love is just a momentary pleasure. Don't get too caught up in it. Immortality and freedom are what we pursue throughout our lives."
"Disciple knows."
Gu Qing's eyes flashed, but he didn't argue. Instead, he said, "Ancestor, I want to collect the seeds of spiritual herbs from all the heavens and myriad realms. I wonder if it would be possible to have the temple collect them with all its might?"
"can!"
The old ancestor didn't even ask why Gu Qing was collecting seeds, since inquiring about other people's opportunities was a big taboo.
"Thank you, ancestor!"
Gu Qingxin thanked her happily.
He could have had the elders of the Star Temple collect it, but he said that it was completely different from the ancestor's order.
His orders were often met with feigned compliance but insincere disobedience, whereas the ancestor's orders could absolutely compel the Star Palace's experts to carry them out with all their might.
Gu Qing chatted with the ancestor for a while before leaving, satisfied.
As soon as they entered Goddess Peak, Chu Ling'er pounced on them.
"Brother Gu Qing..." Chu Ling'er clung to Gu Qing, her eyes smiling, her voice sweet and soft, like a little hook, making Gu Qing's heart itch unbearably.
He gave her head a hard pat, pinched her chubby cheeks, and asked, "What is it? Tell me."
