110: Chapter 110 On Qinghan Peak, Master's Reward

Leaving the bustling Zongwu Hall square, Zhao Ruoan and his party directly rose into the air, flying towards the cloud-enshrouded Qinghan Peak.

Along the way, the two little girls Qiuyin and Xiamo chattered endlessly, their little faces flushed with excitement.

"Young Revered Master! You were so handsome just now!" Xiamo hugged a large pile of Storage Pouches, her eyes filled with little stars of adoration. "The Peak Master of Lieyang and Master of Tianjian Peak were so angry their faces turned green, hahaha! Served them right! Who told them to be so fierce just now!"

"Exactly, exactly!" Qiuyin chimed in, "Young Revered Master, you have no idea. When you were sparring inside just now, the outside was in an uproar! They all said you were cheating, and even said they wanted to cripple your Cultivate! But look at you now, aren't they still obediently begging you to treat their Disciples?"

The two little girls chimed in one after another, pouring out all the grievances they had suffered in the square earlier and their subsequent elation.

Hearing this, Zhao Ruoan merely smiled.

His battle achievements might be earth-shattering in the eyes of ordinary Disciples, but in his own view, they were nothing more than minor squabbles.

His target was never the tiny Qingxuan Sect.

He turned his head to glance at the silent Yun Qinghan beside him, discovering that Revered Master was quietly looking at him with those cold, clear eyes.

"Revered Master, why are you looking at me like that? Are there flowers on my face?" Zhao Ruoan asked cheekily.

"I was thinking that given your temperament, not tearing down the entire Wanshou Mountain Range during this Grand Competition can already be considered very low-profile." In Yun Qinghan's voice, there was a hint of a smile that was hard to detect.

"How could that be!" Zhao Ruoan said with a solemn expression, "Didn't you teach me, Revered Master, to keep a low profile as a person and act steadily? I was very restrained this time, just casually taking first place, casually taking in a few underlings, and didn't do anything else."

Yun Qinghan: "..."

Casually taking first place?

Sucking dry the Sect's Top-Grade Spirit Stone reserves accumulated over a hundred years, and almost making the Sect Master vomit blood from anger—is this also called restrained?

She found that she still underestimated the thickness of her Disciple's skin.

While speaking, the familiar mountain gate of Qinghan Peak had already appeared before their eyes.

Returning to this tranquil land that belonged only to their Revered Master and Disciple, Zhao Ruoan felt his entire body relax.

He dumped all the spoils of war looted from the square onto the stone table in the courtyard in one go, letting Qiuyin and Xiamo count and organize them.

Then, he followed Yun Qinghan and walked into the main hall.

Inside the grand hall, it was still as cold and elegant as ever.

Yun Qinghan sat down on the main seat, motioning for Zhao Ruoan to sit as well.

"You did well in this Grand Competition." Yun Qinghan looked at him, her cold, clear eyes finally carrying a hint of genuine praise, "With the Pulse Condensation Realm Cultivate, slaying a Spirit Pill Realm Yao Beast head-on, comprehending Fifth-Order Sword Intent, having a solid Foundation, and a fairly steady Heart-Nature. You didn't tarnish the reputation of my Qinghan Peak."

"Hehe, that is all thanks to Revered Master's brilliant guidance." Zhao Ruoan modestly replied.

"Stop running your mouth." Yun Qinghan gave him a sideways glance, and then with a flip of her jade hand, a jade bottle emitting a faint purple light appeared in the palm of her hand.

"This is your reward."

"Oh? Revered Master, you are going to give me a reward too?" Zhao Ruoan's eyes lit up, and he quickly leaned in, "What good thing is packed inside here? An Immortal Pill?"

"In your dreams." Yun Qinghan said impatiently, "This is called the 'Purple Mansion Nourishing Divine Pill', a holy medicine specially used to nourish and strengthen Divine Soul power. Your Physical Body and spiritual power already far surpass those of the same realm, but your Divine Soul Realm is still your shortcoming."

"Although your Fifth-Order Sword Intent is extremely powerful, every time you use it, the consumption of your Divine Soul is also huge. If your Soul Power cannot keep up and you force it to activate, at best it will cause splitting headaches, and at worst it will damage your Divine Soul and turn you into an idiot."

"There are three pills in this bottle of Purple Mansion Nourishing Divine Pill. Take them, consume one every day, and cooperate with the 'Nine Revolutions Spirit Refining Art' I taught you. It should allow your Divine Soul Realm to catch up with your Physical Body Cultivate in a short period of time."

Hearing this, Zhao Ruoan felt a warmth in his heart.

It turned out that Revered Master had already seen through his weaknesses long ago and had already prepared a solution for him.

Those rewards from the Sect, although precious beyond compare in the eyes of others, were simply a pile of trash compared to this bottle of Medicinal Pill given by Revered Master.

This was true care, truly thinking for his benefit.

"Thank you, Revered Master!" Zhao Ruoan solemnly took the jade bottle; this time, his gratitude came from the bottom of his heart.

"With Revered Master and Disciple like us, there is no need for thanks." Yun Qinghan waved her hand, then changed the subject and asked, "Regarding the future, what plans do you have?"

"Plans?" Zhao Ruoan was stunned for a moment.

"You are now the Sect's universally acknowledged number one Prodigy, unmatched in the limelight. Next, are you planning to stay inside the Sect to continue deep Cultivate, or do you have other thoughts?" Yun Qinghan asked.

Zhao Ruoan pondered for a moment.

To be honest, inside the Qingxuan Sect, he truly couldn't find any challenges anymore.

Those so-called Prodigy of various peaks made no difference to children playing house in his eyes.

As for those Elder and Peak Revered Masters, with Revered Master shielding him, they wouldn't dare do anything to him anyway.

Constantly staying in the Sect to idle and Cultivate, although comfortable, always felt like something was missing.

On the path of immortal cultivation, relying solely on closed-door self-cultivation won't do. True experts all grow through repeated life-and-death combats and trials.

Moreover, according to the information given by the System, the original owner of this body seemed to have some unfinished mortal ties.

"Revered Master, I want to... go down the mountain for trials." Zhao Ruoan raised his head and said with a resolute gaze.

Hearing this reply, Yun Qinghan did not seem surprised at all.

In her cold, clear eyes, a complex expression flashed by—there was gratification, but also worry.

"Very well." She nodded, "Fledglings will eventually leave the nest. Staying under my wings forever, you will never become a true expert."

"The world outside the Sect is far broader than you imagine, and far more dangerous than you imagine. There are no restrictions of Sect rules there; killing people for treasures and deceitful plotting are commonplace. Are you sure you are ready?"

"This Disciple is ready." Zhao Ruoan's reply didn't have the slightest hesitation.

Are you kidding? He was a Transmigration person with the System by his side, would he still be afraid of these?

The more chaotic the outside world was, the more opportunities there would be for him!

Those so-called noble clan Prodigy and hostile Sect Disciple, in his eyes, weren't they all moving experience packs and spoils of war?

"Since your mind is made up, I won't stop you." Yun Qinghan pondered for a moment, then took out a token that was pitch-black all over and engraved with intricate patterns, handing it to him.

"Take this 'Nether Shadow Token'. It is an immortal Magic Treasure I accidentally obtained when I was traveling in my early years, and it Seals a strand of my Divine Thought Incarnation inside."

"This Incarnation possesses the power of a full-strength strike from me. Unless it is an absolute last resort or a life-or-death moment, remember not to use it casually."

"On this trip down the mountain, be careful in everything. If you encounter danger that cannot be resolved, crush this token, and this Revered Master will naturally sense it."

Zhao Ruoan took the cold token, and a surge of warmth welled up in his heart once more.

Although Revered Master spoke of it so lightly, in her heart, she was still worried about his safety.

She even prepared a trump card for saving his life for him.

Having such a Revered Master was truly the greatest luck of his life.

"Revered Master, you can rest assured." Zhao Ruoan carefully put away the token close to his body and grinned, "I am so witty, who could kill me? I guarantee that when I come back, I will definitely bring you a bunch of good things as gifts!"

Looking at his carefree and heartless appearance, Yun Qinghan helplessly shook her head.

She stood up, walked to the entrance of the main hall, stood with her hands behind her back, and gazed at the rolling sea of clouds in the distance, her voice distant and ethereal.

"Go. Go see the scenery of this Cang Prefecture land, and go meet those so-called peerless Prodigy."

"Revered Master hopes that the next time I see you, you will already possess the qualification to stand side by side with me on this peak and overlook all living beings."
