Chapter 160: Embryonic Form of the Sacred Ground


    In the rear mountain of the Yun Sect, Gu He, having departed from the Miteer Auction House, made his way directly to the valley.


    Upon reaching the location of the medicinal garden, Gu He carefully nted the seven strands of sixth-grade spirit herbs he had acquired.


    Bathed in the rich, nourishing world energy of the valley, the spirit herbs in the medicinal garden radiated astonishing vitality. The aromatic fragrance of the herbs pervaded the entire valley.


    The Crimson me Demon Dragon and the Golden Feathery Giant Eagle, lured by the enticing herbal fragrance, fixated their eyes on the several strands of sixth-grade spirit herbs in the garden, their gaze filled with a palpable eagerness.


    "Such a tantalizing sight," they mused.


    Despite feeling apelling urge to dash over and consume these herbs in one gulp, the Crimson me Demon Dragon and the Golden Feathery Giant Eagle, heeding Gu He''s prior warning, restrained themselves with considerable effort.


    Time surged forward rapidly; before long, seven days had psed.


    ...


    At the heart of the deep, cold pond, the Nine-Colored Sacred Lotus persisted in emitting a dense, nine-colored radiance.


    With every pulse of its radiant glow, a substantial amount of world energy was drawn together.


    The surface of the cold pond remained in a state akin to boiling, continuously releasing a multitude of bubbles.


    Hovering above the Nine-Colored Sacred Lotus, a silver figure would asionally sh by, subtly revealing the presence of a space force.


    During these seven days, the valley, through the continuous absorption of ster energy and its transformation into world energy, had amassed an incredibly dense concentration of energy.


    Even in the void, mist-like particles were discernible, indicative of the condensed, tangible form of world energy. Each of these particles was imbued with exceptionally pure world energy.


    This phenomenon was abined result of the activities of the Crimson me Demon Dragon and the Golden Feathery Giant Eagle, along with their considerable consumption of the spirit herbs. Were it not for their consumption, the concentration of the mist-like particles in the void would undoubtedly have been even more pronounced.


    At this moment, in the void of the valley, the massive form of the Crimson me Demon Dragon writhed, absorbing a multitude of mist-like particles with every inhtion.


    Near the edge of the cold pond, the Golden Feathery Giant Eagle stooped to drink directly from the energy-infused waters.


    After seven days, the water in the cold pond had almostpletely assimted with the world energy, bing richly saturated with it.


    "Not bad. At this rate, it won''t be long before all these spirit herbs advance," Gu He mused, observing the thriving spirit herbs in the medicinal garden with a contented expression.


    Having acquired seven strands of sixth-grade spirit herbs from the Miteer Auction House, and securing permission to obtain five more within the sect, Gu He had now amassed a total of twelve strands of sixth-grade spirit herbs in his garden.


    The garden also boasted dozens, if not hundreds, of fourth and fifth-grade spirit herbs.


    Gu He, however, showed no interest in collecting spirit herbs below the fourth grade.


    Gazing at the fully cultivated medicinal garden, a sense of aplishment filled him. Soon, he anticipated harvesting a considerable number of seventh-grade spirit herbs, reaching his initial goal of self-sufficiency.


    "Yiyayiya!"


    Perched on Gu He''s shoulder, Cai''er''s small hand yfully tugged at one of his hairs.


    Gu He responded by gently touching the tiny forehead of the little one, eliciting a disy of adorable indignation as she ced her hands on her hips.


    Then, Gu He retrieved a delicate jade bottle from his storage ring, uncapped it, and handed it to the little one, speaking softly, "Cai''er,e, it''s time to work."


    Cai''er, still childlike at heart, quickly forgot her annoyance upon seeing the jade bottle. Green light coalesced at her fingertips, and shortly, a green cylinder dropped into the bottle.


    Gu He sealed the bottle and stored it satisfactorily in his storage ring. This was the seventh one.


    For the past seven days, Gu He had Cai''er condense a Longevity Bead for him each day.


    Now, in his storage ring, Gu He had amassed a total of seven Longevity Beads.


    Subsequently, Gu He''s gaze swept across the valley, and he nodded slightly in satisfaction. The valley had already begun to manifest the embryonic form of a cultivation sacred ground. In due time, it would evolve into a true haven for cultivation, where practicing would be dozens of times more effective than outside.


    "Let''s see how that little girl is doing in her cultivation," Gu He thought.


    The next moment, he swiftly arrived at a corner of the valley. There, Qing Lin was seated on a cyan lotus tform, her hands forming a unique seal,pletely engrossed in absorbing the world energy around her.


    Gu He extended his soul power, sensing her progress. Qing Lin''s cultivation had impressively reached the ninth stage of Dou Disciple. In less than two months since she began, she had progressed from a novice to this advanced stage. Such a rate of cultivation, if known, would surely astonish many.


    However, Gu He, aware of the full context, recognized that Qing Lin''s natural cultivation talent was rtively modest. Her remarkable achievement in less than two months wasrgely due to an abundance of cultivation resources.


    These included various kinds of spiritual liquids, the elerated cultivation benefits of the cyan lotus tform, and the nurturing environment of the valley, which had begun to take on the qualities of a sacred cultivation ground.


    "This rapid progress means it''s time for Qing Lin to condense the Dou Qi Vortex and advance to a Dou Practitioner," Gu He observed with a satisfied smile. Despite Qing Lin''s cultivation speed not being extraordinarily rapid, her dedication and never-cking attitude pleased Gu He immensely. This level of perseverance was something even the diligent Little Doctor Immortal couldn''t rival.


    In the future, as Qing Lin mastered the Snake-Gathering Technique and fully harnessed the capabilities of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, her cultivation speed was destined for a qualitative leap. Although she had started a bitte, the potential for her to catch up was still very real.


    Watching Qing Lin diligently cultivating, Gu He chose not to disturb her, waiting quietly until she finished.


    Half an hourter, Qing Lin concluded her cultivation session. Upon seeing Gu He, her face lit up with excitement as she eagerly shared her cultivation progress.


    "Come, let your teacher take you out," Gu He said, gently rubbing Qing Lin''s head. Communicating with Cai''er to release her, he swiftly left the valley with Qing Lin. When they reappeared, they were back in Gu He''s courtyard.


    "Qing Lin, this is the Qi-Gathering Powder. Strive to break through to the Dou Practitioner Realm tonight," Gu He instructed, handing her a jade bottle from his storage ring.


    "Yes, thank you, teacher," Qing Lin replied, nodding obediently, her young face brimming with determination.


    After Qing Lin left, Gu He was about to return to his pavilion for tea when he suddenly paused. His soul power had detected a graceful figure standing not far outside the courtyard, staring nkly in the direction of the courtyard, her exquisite face showing some hesitation.


    "Why is she here?" Gu He wondered, his heart intrigued. With that thought, his figure disappeared from the courtyard.
