Purple Intelligence: The Great Void Secret Realm!

Changsheng Peak.

Two streaks of light pierced the sky and respectfully landed in front of the cave entrance.

It was the Azure Dragon King and the Heavenly Fire True Lord who went to clean up the battlefield.

Their faces were flushed, and their eyes shone with barely concealed excitement.

Especially the Azure Dragon King, who had more than a dozen bulging high-level storage bags hanging from his waist, and walked with a swagger.

"Greetings, Master."

The two knelt down in worship.

"Get up." Lu Yuan sat cross-legged at the head of the table, his expression calm.

The Azure Dragon King stepped forward first, offering the dozen or so storage bags with both hands in a fawning manner: "Master, we have not failed you. The treasure troves of Beast King Valley and Heavenly Sword Mountain have been emptied by us."

In addition, two fourth-tier spiritual veins were also forcibly extracted of their spiritual essence by the little demon using his supernatural powers. Although some spiritual energy was lost, it was still able to be brought back to nourish our sect's spiritual veins.

Not to be outdone, True Monarch Tianhuo presented his spoils: "Master, these are all the cultivation techniques and secret manuals in the Heavenly Sword Mountain Scripture Pavilion, as well as the beast-taming inheritance of Beast King Valley. In addition, I have a favor to ask."

Lu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly: "Speak."

True Lord Tianhuo took a deep breath, touched his forehead to the ground, and said with utmost sincerity: "Now that I have submitted to you, Venerable One, Burning Flame Valley no longer needs to exist independently."

"This junior wishes to lead the tens of thousands of disciples of Burning Flame Valley to submit to the Azure Cloud Sect. From this day forward, Burning Flame Valley will be a vassal of the Azure Cloud Sect, refining pills and forging weapons for our master for generations, seeking only our master's protection."

This was an extremely wise decision.

True Monarch Tianhuo knew that with the destruction of the two major Nascent Soul sects, the landscape of the cultivation world in Zhao Kingdom had been completely rewritten.

The Qingyun Sect is all-powerful; how can it tolerate others snoring beside its bed?

Rather than waiting to be slowly devoured in the future, it's better to surrender now and gain merit by following the emperor.

Lu Yuan gave him a deep look and nodded slightly: "Approved. From today onwards, Burning Flame Valley will be renamed Burning Flame Hall, and you will still be in charge of it, specializing in alchemy and artifact crafting."

"Thank you, Master." Heavenly Fire True Lord was overjoyed.

After dealing with personnel matters, Lu Yuan began to inspect the spoils of war.

His divine sense swept over the mountain of storage bags, and even with his Nascent Soul stage perspective, he couldn't help but nod slightly.

The two Nascent Soul sects, with a history spanning nearly ten thousand years, truly possess profound foundations.

There are thousands of top-grade spirit stones, hundreds of thousands of high-grade spirit stones, and hundreds of millions of mid- and low-grade spirit stones.

As for various fourth-tier spiritual materials, they were piled up like mountains.

He did not take all of these things for himself.

He used his divine sense to summon Gu Qingxue.

Before long, Gu Qingxue's graceful figure appeared inside the cave.

Today, she wore a moon-white palace dress, exuding a noble and elegant temperament. The newly formed Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul aura added to her otherworldly charm.

"My husband," she called softly, her eyes filled with adoration.

With a wave of his sleeve, Lu Yuan pushed the mountain of resources, except for a few fourth-order Five Elements treasures that were useful for his cultivation of the "Great Five Elements Chaos Technique," to Gu Qingxue.

"Put these resources into the sect's treasury," Lu Yuan calmly instructed. "Now that the Qingyun Sect has reached the Nascent Soul stage, the treatment of its members should naturally be improved."

"By my decree, effective immediately, the monthly stipends of all disciples and elders of the Qingyun Sect shall be increased tenfold."

"Each outer sect Qi Refining disciple will receive one thousand low-grade spirit stones and three bottles of Qi Condensation Pills per month."

"Each inner sect Foundation Establishment steward will receive 10,000 low-grade spirit stones and one bottle of Gathering Yuan Pills per month."

"Each Golden Core Elder will receive 100,000 low-grade spirit stones per month and may freely use third-grade spiritual materials from the sect's treasury."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingxue's beautiful eyes widened, her small mouth slightly agape, and she was completely stunned.

"Husband... this is too much." She stammered, "Even the ten major immortal sects might not be able to match this treatment. Distributing it like this will strain the sect's expenses..."

"It's alright." Lu Yuan waved his hand, his tone exuding an air of domineering control: "The wool comes from the sheep's back. These resources were originally obtained by robbing. Once they're used up, we can just rob more."

As long as I am here, the Qingyun Sect will never lack resources. The only right path is to transform resources into strength.

"Yes, disciple will take care of it immediately." Gu Qingxue took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

On this day, the Qingyun Sect was in an uproar.

When the new monthly salary system was announced, countless disciples wept with joy and frantically kowtowed in the direction of Changsheng Peak.

This treatment instilled in them a sense of belonging, a feeling that they would rather die in the Qingyun Sect than give up their lives there.

……

The night is deep and quiet, and midnight is approaching.

Lu Yuan sat alone in the cave, his mind immersed in the system.

[Ding, daily intelligence update.]

[White Intelligence: Ye Chen, the leader of the Taiyi Sect and the chosen one of destiny in the neighboring country of Zhao, the Great Yan Kingdom, has heard that the Qingyun Sect will be holding a Nascent Soul Ceremony.]

He had prepared a lavish gift, which was actually an ancient bell, symbolizing a final farewell. He planned to have the younger generation of disciples from the Taiyi Sect challenge the disciples of the Qingyun Sect at the ceremony, thus humiliating Gu Qingxue and publicly mentioning their past engagement, forcing her to recall their old feelings, disrupting her Daoist resolve, and attempting to conquer Gu Qingxue spiritually.

[Purple Intelligence: The Wanbao Tower in the capital of Zhao will hold an auction today at 9:00 AM. Among the auction items is a tattered ancient painting called "The Map of Mountains and Rivers". It was mistakenly identified by the appraiser as a high-grade Xuan-level ornamental magic weapon and will be released as the final item before the auction.]

In fact, this painting is a legacy left by Venerable Taixu five thousand years ago, and is the key to unlocking a secret realm of Taixu.

This secret realm is restricted to those under sixty years of age and with a cultivation level of Foundation Establishment or below. It contains an opportunity to transform into a Nascent Soul cultivator. Xiao Fan, the chosen one, having been reminded by the old doctor, now knows the true appearance of this painting and intends to spend everything to acquire it.

[Blue Intelligence: The final item at the Wanbaolou auction is claimed to be a piece of unknown, ten-thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood.]

In reality, this object is the root of the legendary Soul-Nourishing Wood, a supreme treasure of the Soul Path.

It possesses miraculous effects in nourishing the soul and repairing remnants of the soul. Xiao Fan is determined to obtain this item, intending to use it to repair the remnants of the Medicine Venerable's soul.

After reading these three pieces of information, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile with amusement.

Ye Chen.

Sending off the bell disturbs the mind!

This chosen one of destiny has certainly played his cards right.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that Gu Qingxue was no longer the helpless girl she once was, but a Nascent Soul cultivator and a Yin Body cultivator who had transformed into a Divine Transformation Daoist partner.

As for Xiao Fan...

The smile in Lu Yuan's eyes deepened.

"If I hadn't released you beforehand, I probably would have missed this opportunity."

The key to the Taixu Secret Realm: Soul-Nourishing Wood.

Both of these items are priceless.

Especially the Taixu Secret Realm, since it was left behind by a Nascent Soul Venerable and its cultivation level is restricted, it is obviously used to cultivate future generations.

It can be used as a training ground for future disciples of the sect.

As for the Soul-Nourishing Wood, it is a supreme treasure for repairing the soul.
