Ji Yuefei and Yan Xiaoling were not the types to be greedy, so when they heard Gu Yuan’s words, they nodded in agreent without any objections.
The three soon left the Artifact Refining Pavilion and headed straight for the main hall in the distance.
On the way, Gu Yuan encountered his acquaintances, Ji Canghai and Su Qiuyue.
Seeing the two smiling broadly, seemingly in a good mood, Gu Yuan couldn’t help but say, "It seems you two have made quite a gain."
By this ti, the Red Dragon Cave had already been mostly explored, so there was no need to hide his relationship with Ji Canghai or Su Qiuyue anymore.
Besides, the relationship between the three was not much of a concern, at most, they just agreed to explore the Red Dragon Immortal Palace together, which wasn’t a big deal.
"Indeed, Brother Ji and I have gained a little, but I dare say, Brother Gu, you must have quite the harvest as well?"
Ji Canghai had yet to say anything when Su Qiuyue replied first.
As she spoke, her beautiful eyes skimd over Ji Yuefei and Yan Xiaoling, with a hint of unusual color in her eyes that made the two girls a bit uncomfortable.
They both looked at this woman with a trace of hostility hidden in their gaze.
The two of them were not fools and naturally understood what Su Qiuyue’s gaze ant—clearly, she thought they had so unclear relationship with Gu Yuan.
Of course, whether they did or not was sothing they were aware of; it was a simple misunderstanding that could be easily explained or simply ignored.
However, they didn’t want to waste words on it—the key issue was that Gu Yuan seed to know this woman quite well, which was what truly irked them.
They hadn’t known Gu Yuan for long, but during this ti, they had witnessed Gu Yuan’s various performances with their own eyes.
To be frank, Gu Yuan’s divine techniques, his talent, and even his swordsmanship and alchemy were all extrely outstanding; among the younger generation in the Southern Border Cultivation Realm, there were probably very few who could match him.
Soone like this has boundless prospects, with the potential to reach the Yang Spirit or even the Primordial Spirit; even the two of them couldn’t help but be moved.
The path of cultivation is tough and filled with hardships; to achieve sothing, even with good talent, strong roots, and sufficient opportunities, is not always enough.
Lest we forget, many cultivation geniuses from major sects lack neither opportunities nor resources, and achieving the Yin Spirit is already considered impressive, with many having failed to even form a Golden Core.
As for Gu Yuan, after these few days, his various performances had completely impressed the two of them.
Of course, Yan Xiaoling might let it slide, but Ji Yuefei was definitely not going to admit it.
She clearly rembered that her own Mountain Master was evidently acquainted with Gu Yuan...
"Hehe, small gains, small gains..."
Gu Yuan responded with a few words, and the five of them walked ahead together.
Seeing Gu Yuan casually chatting with Ji Canghai and Su Qiuyue, Ji Yuefei and Yan Xiaoling understood that Gu Yuan indeed knew them, but they weren’t particularly close.
This made the two girls quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
Yet, upon learning their identities, the two were still quite surprised.
Ji Canghai and Su Qiuyue were both outstanding figures of the younger generation in the Southern Border Cultivation Realm and were among the most famous and exceptional individuals.
They had naturally heard of these two individuals.
Initial surprise was followed by brief contemplation by the two girls.
These two were extraordinary, but so was Gu Yuan. Judging by his performance, he was even stronger than the others, so it was only natural for them to know each other.
As the saying goes, dragons do not mingle with snakes; Gu Yuan, being such a prodigy, being friends with absolute geniuses like Ji Canghai and Su Qiuyue was the most natural thing.
"Brother Gu, I might need your help with sothing later."
As they walked, Ji Canghai said to Gu Yuan.
"Oh? What kind of help?"
Gu Yuan asked curiously.
Ji Canghai smiled with a sowhat aningful look and said, "I can’t say for sure right now; I just hope you’ll be able to help when the ti cos. Of course, I’ll definitely repay you well when it happens."
Hearing this, Su Qiuyue said nothing, seemingly aware of sothing.
Gu Yuan gave him a look and nodded slightly, agreeing.
In truth, he had a vague suspicion in his heart that the help Ji Canghai might need was probably related to the Fla Dragon Jade Seal.
This is the Red Dragon Cave, the cave mansion of the Red Dragon Daoist, and the Fla Dragon Jade Seal is very likely here.
The Fla Dragon Jade Seal is a top-tier treasure, not only possibly a Spirit Treasure itself but also likely a central treasure controlling the entire Red Dragon Small World, through which one could control the entire realm.
It’s normal for Ji Canghai and even Su Qiuyue to be tempted by such a treasure.
It’s just that Ji Canghai spoke nicely, but in reality, Gu Yuan suspected that this fellow was also guarding against him in the dark.
After all, faced with a treasure like the Fla Dragon Jade Seal, anyone would be tempted, and Ji Canghai surely wouldn’t dare reveal related information, hence speaking so vaguely and unclearly.
Gu Yuan didn’t mind; if the opportunity wasn’t there, then so be it. But if it presented itself, he would naturally take action.
When the five of them arrived at the last main hall, there were already so people waiting there.
Among them was Gu Yuan’s acquaintance—the thin, old man, also known as the Three Corpses Old Demon.
As soon as Gu Yuan saw him, the Three Corpses Old Demon seed to sense sothing too, shifting his gaze over. The two exchanged a look; the Three Corpses Old Demon’s gaze was wooden and cold, while Gu Yuan’s was calm and indifferent.
"What’s going on? Why are these people stopped here?"
Gu Yuan frowned.
Seeing so many people stopped there, Gu Yuan initially found it strange as to why these people remained stopped here without going in.
But when he saw that the door was tightly closed, radiating a Restriction Spiritual Light, he imdiately guessed the reason.
It was obvious that the door hadn’t been opened, and these people simply couldn’t get in.
Ji Canghai seed unsurprised and began explaining to Gu Yuan and the others, "This is the cave mansion, or rather the residence, of the Red Dragon Daoist. To enter it, we need those Five Elents Elental Pearls."
"The Five Elents Elental Pearls are not only the key to opening the Red Dragon Cave but also the key to unlocking this main hall."
"I see..."
Gu Yuan nodded. He had also made similar guesses about Ji Canghai’s words.
However, Ji Canghai spoke with such confidence, indicating that he must be quite knowledgeable about the Red Dragon Cave and the Red Dragon Daoist. It’s just unclear how he obtained such information.
As he ca forward to the main hall, Gu Yuan could see the three large characters above it: "Red Dragon Hall."
"Fellow cultivators, this is the abode of the Red Dragon Daoist. To open it, we need our Five Elents Elental Pearls, so I ask that everyone cooperate."
Seeing Gu Yuan and the others approach, the Three Corpses Old Demon’s eyes flashed, and he suddenly spoke up.
"Exactly, there must be the legacy of the Red Dragon Daoist inside the Red Dragon Hall, and there might be other treasures. I ask fellow cultivators to temporarily set aside any grudges; any disputes can be resolved later. For now, let’s work together to open this door first."
A plump middle-aged cultivator beside him also voiced his agreent.
