Ti flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the second day.
Inside the cave, Gu He took out the package that Xiao Yi Xian had given him before leaving.
Opening the package, he found so pastries inside.
Xiao Yi Xian's culinary skills were always good, and these pastries were obviously made with care, exquisite and appetizing.
Gu He picked up a pastry and tasted it.
Mmm, it tasted good.
Gu He couldn't help but eat a few more.
Then, Gu He looked at Yun Yun, who was still lying on the ground, and walked over with a few pastries in hand.
Hearing Gu He's footsteps, Yun Yun subconsciously opened her eyes.
"How do you feel?" Gu He squatted down, a smile on his face as he asked with concern.
Feeling the concern in Gu He's words, a smile appeared on Yun Yun's pretty face, and she said, "Much better."
Gu He raised the pastries in his hand and said, "These pastries were made by Xiao Yi Xian. Would you like to have so?"
Yun Yun had not eaten for a day and night, so she was naturally hungry. Upon hearing Gu He's words, she nodded slightly and replied, "Yes."
Then, Gu He reached out, helped Yun Yun sit up, and handed her a pastry.
He picked up a piece of pastry, handed it to Xiao Yi Xian's mouth, and said gently, "Eat, it tastes good."
Watching the pastry being handed to her mouth, Yun Yun's face blushed slightly. After giving Gu He a glance, she gently took a small bite.
Watching Yun Yun's red lips move as she chewed slowly, Gu He asked with a gentle tone, "How is it?"
"Good." Yun Yun swallowed the pastry in her mouth and nodded lightly. Thinking of Xiao Yi Xian's cute appearance, a hint of fondness appeared in her eyes. "That girl's cooking skills are really good."
"As long as you like it." Gu He smiled at her words, then picked up another pastry and handed it to Yun Yun. "I'll go out later to catch a few fish for you to replenish your strength."
Yun Yun's body was too weak at the mont, and she couldn't eat anything greasy. She could only supplent her nutrition with so fish.
Yun Yun took a small bite of the pastry and looked at Gu He, nodding slightly.
One piece of pastry, Yun Yun took four or five bites to finish.
At the last small bite, Yun Yun's red lips even touched Gu He's fingertips, making Yun Yun's cheeks even more rosy.
"Have another one."
Seeing Yun Yun licking her red lips, Gu He picked up another piece of pastry and offered it to her.
Yun Yun didn't refuse and opened her mouth again.
After a while.
"I can't eat anymore."
When she reached the fourth piece of pastry, Yun Yun shook her head, indicating that she was full.
"Then don't eat anymore."
With a slight smile at Yun Yun's words, Gu He looked at the remaining half piece of pastry that Yun Yun didn't eat, casually threw it into his mouth.
This was the carefully made pastry by his precious disciple; he couldn't waste it.
Watching Gu He eat the pastry she had left, Yun Yun was slightly stunned. Then a hint of shyness flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"Sect Master, why did you co to the Magic Beast Mountain Range this ti?"
Gu He, however, did not notice the change in Yun Yun's expression and continued to pick up another pastry, putting it into his mouth. He casually asked, "And why did you have a fierce battle with the Crystal Winged Lion King?"
Hearing this, Yun Yun was brought back to her thoughts. After a mont of contemplation, she said softly, "The purpose of my coming to the Magic Beast Mountain Range this ti is for the Purple Spirit Crystal."
Gu He naturally knew the purpose of Yun Yun coming to the Magic Beast Mountain Range. What puzzled him was why she wanted this Purple Spirit Crystal.
Thinking of this, Gu He asked again, "The Purple Spirit Crystal, what do you want to do with it? This is the treasure of the Crystal Winged Lion King. If you want it, it will naturally fight you to the death."
Thinking about her actions this ti, Yun Yun also felt that she had been a bit reckless.
She thought that breaking through to the Five-Star Dou Emperor realm would allow her to easily deal with the Crystal Winged Lion King.
However, she did not expect that the Crystal Winged Lion King still had a move called the Purple Crystal Seal as a trump card.
If Gu He had not appeared in ti, she might have already perished at this mont.
With a bitter smile on her lips, Yun Yun said slowly, "The Purple Spirit Crystal is for Yanran."
"I obtained an ancient scroll that recorded a fifth-grade pill called the Purple Crystal Pill. After consuming it at the Grandmaster Dou Master level, one can directly break through three realms without any side effects."
"And the main ingredient of the Purple Crystal Pill is the Purple Spirit Crystal."
"Purple Crystal Pill?"
Upon hearing this, Gu He was slightly stunned, and then information about the Purple Crystal Pill flashed in his mind.
He inherited the mories and insights of a Ninth-Grade Alchemist, and there was indeed a record of the Purple Crystal Pill in those mories.
It was considered a rather special and extraordinary pill.
Turning around to look at Yun Yun, Gu He said, "You're preparing this for Yanran even though she hasn't broken through to the Dou Master level yet. Isn't it a bit early?"
Yun Yun whispered, "You don't know. There was news from the Wu Tan City that the young man from the Xiao family, who divorced Yanran, after being divorced by her, for so reason, not only did his talents recover, but even surpassed his previous state. In just a few months, he has broken through to the Dou Practitioner level. This makes sowhat worried."
"The three-year agreent between Yanran and that young man from the Xiao family not only involves Yanran's future but also affects the reputation of the Cloud Mist Sect. Therefore, in the three-year agreent, Yanran must win and cannot lose." At this point, a trace of seriousness appeared on Yun Yun's pretty face.
Clearly, she attached great importance to this three-year agreent. After all, the recent divorce of the Cloud Mist Sect was a direct affront to Xiao Yan, already impacting the sect's reputation considerably. If, in three years, Yanran, the pride of the Cloud Mist Sect, were to lose to Xiao Yan—soone she had once despised—the consequences would be even more severe. The Cloud Mist Sect's hard-earned good reputation would likely be tarnished in an instant.
Gu He's face showed a slight surprise upon hearing Yun Yun's words. Indeed, the Cloud Mist Sect, as the number one sect in the Gamma Empire, had swift ans of gathering information, even about the Xiao family in Udan City. Yun Yun's decision to take the risk and obtain the Purple Spirit Crystal suggested that Xiao Yan had exerted significant pressure on her.
Unbeknownst to Gu He, Yun Yun's early visit to acquire the Purple Spirit Crystal was connected to him. In the original tiline, Yun Yun did co to the Magic Beast Mountain Range for the crystal, but her visit was delayed by over half a year. The accelerated schedule had two main reasons. Firstly, Yun Yun's confidence in her strength had surged after taking the Emperor Pill. Secondly, concerns about Nalan Yanran's recent setbacks led her to expedite her plans, hoping that the Purple Crystal Pill might restore Yanran's confidence.
In the cave, after Yun Yun shared her worries, Dou Ancestor Gu He considered a potential solution. After a mont of silence, he proposed, "Master, I have a suggestion that might help you."
Upon hearing this, Yun Yun looked at Dou Ancestor Gu He with curiosity.
Dou Ancestor Gu He got straight to the point. "It's very simple. Let Yanran accept as her master."
"Accept you as a master?" Yun Yun looked stunned, sowhat incredulous. "Do you want to take Yanran as your disciple?"
Dou Ancestor Gu He nodded seriously. "As long as Yanran accepts as her master, I can guarantee that by the ti of the three-year agreent, her cultivation will be at least at the Dou Emperor level."
These words reflected Dou Ancestor Gu He's confidence. With the system's support rewarding a thousandfold for teaching disciples, he considered himself the best teacher. Making Nalan Yanran his disciple would render the three-year agreent with Xiao Yan a re joke, as Yanran would surpass Xiao Yan dominantly.
"Emperor?" Yun Yun's beautiful eyes froze, and she looked at Dou Ancestor Gu He. "Elder Gu He, are you serious?"
"Does the Master not trust ?" Dou Ancestor Gu He maintained a smile. "If you don't believe , how about we make a bet?"
Yun Yun's eyes flashed. "A bet?"
"On the day of the three-year agreent, if Yanran has not broken through to the Dou Emperor level, then I will agree to a condition of your choosing," Dou Ancestor Gu He proposed.
Surprised, Yun Yun asked, "Are you so confident?"
Evidently, Yun Yun didn't fully believe Dou Ancestor Gu He's words. While he was already a Dou Ancestor powerhouse, it only represented his personal talent. With two years left until the three-year agreent, Yun Yun might have faith if Dou Ancestor Gu He could guarantee that Nalan Yanran would reach the Dou Spirit realm.
Moreover, Yun Yun considered Xiao Yi Xian's progress. If Nalan Yanran could achieve similar speed, reaching the Dou Spirit realm in three years might be plausible. However, this was only the Dou Spirit realm, still far from the Dou Emperor realm that Dou Ancestor Gu He ntioned.
Dou Ancestor Gu He smiled. "Since I dare to make a guarantee, naturally, I have this confidence. How about it, Master? Do you dare to accept this bet?" Dou Ancestor Gu He's mouth revealed a hint of mockery as he looked at Yun Yun.
Yun Yun didn't imdiately agree but asked, "What if I lose?"
"If you lose..." Dou Ancestor Gu He thought for a mont, his lips slightly lifted, and his gaze swept over Yun Yun's pretty face. "It's simple. Let that girl Yanran change her way of addressing you a bit."
"Change her way of addressing ?" At these words, Yun Yun showed a puzzled expression. "Change what way of addressing?"
A hint of amusent flashed in Dou Ancestor Gu He's eyes. "If Yanran successfully breaks through to the Dou Emperor level on the day of the three-year agreent, then let her address you as... Master, how about that?"
