Chapter 159: Chapter 158: Yang Spirit Overlord Qin Hongxiao!

This Peach Blossom Fairy, herself at least at the level of Yin Spirit, what matter is there that she cannot accomplish, yet requires Gu Yuan, who doesn’t even count as a cultivator, to assist her?

“You seem puzzled as to why I’m certain you can help me?”

Seeing Gu Yuan’s confusion, Qin Hongxiao calmly said:

“You don’t actually need to be so puzzled.”

“What I want you to do has little to do with the strength of cultivation; the cultivation technique you practice is rather special and meets my requirements.”

“Moreover, an elder of mine is skilled in divination and determined that a person with the surname Gu would significantly aid me in overcoming my three trials, thus I offer you the Taiyin Spirit, hoping you won’t disappoint me.”

Faced with Gu Yuan, Qin Hongxiao slowly revealed some matters without much concealment.

She always had a calm and carefree nature, indifferent to some matters and never shrouding the truth. Even if she did conceal, she’d straightforwardly bring it up without any treachery.

It turns out that it’s predicted I might help her… Gu Yuan suddenly understood, yet his heart tightened in fright.

The three trials Qin Hongxiao mentioned weren’t related to the Golden Core or Yin Spirit level, but the three phases of the Dragon Gate Yang Spirit.

The Dragon Gate Realm is derived from the carp leaping over the dragon gate, transforming from the mundane into immortality, the carp’s metamorphosis into a True Dragon represents transcendence.

Once one surpasses the Dragon Gate Realm, one can prove the Dao of longevity, refine the Primordial Spirit, and achieve the Dao Fruit of True Immortality!

To achieve longevity, one must overcome various tribulations: human tribulations, emotional tribulations, demonic tribulations, heavenly tribulations, thunder tribulations, and more.

Since Qin Hongxiao speaks of surpassing the three tribulations, it implies she is at the current Dragon Gate Realm, a Yang Spirit power, having one foot into longevity, preliminarily refining the Undying Primordial Spirit!

All she needs is to transcend the three trials, then the Yang Spirit can transform into the Primordial Spirit, achieving longevity and immortality!

Such a level of existence, Gu Yuan doubts, even places like Medicine King Mountain and the Star River Sword Sect might not have many individuals.

“Fairy, rest assured, I will do my utmost when the time comes. Feel free to instruct me wherever I can be of use!”

Gu Yuan made a promise, genuinely grateful to the Peach Blossom Fairy before him.

This was already the second time she had helped him greatly.

At the same time, it was hard to avoid having the notion of clinging to her for benefit.

“Alright.”

Qin Hongxiao calmly nodded, seeing Gu Yuan’s sincere response, she was very pleased.

Who wouldn’t appreciate someone who knows gratitude and repays it?

Gu Yuan’s performance proved that the Taiyin Spirit she offered was not wasted.

Gu Yuan recalled that he had just taken out the Wood Talisman, and not long after activating it, Qin Hongxiao appeared before him, so he directly asked: “Since the Red Dragon Immortal Palace is about to open, Fairy has been appearing near frequently, is it also for that Red Dragon Immortal Palace?”

“Red Dragon Immortal Palace?”

Qin Hongxiao wrinkled her charming, delicate nose, shaking her head: “The Red Dragon Elder holds five mansions, this is merely one of his subsidiary halls, the items inside are good, but they are of no use to me.”

“Unless it’s his main palace, I’d be interested in exploring somewhat. However…”

Qin Hongxiao boasted impressively, referring even the Red Dragon Taoist as “Red Dragon Elder”, clearly very familiar with him.

Speaking of this, she shook her head and said: “This elder has deep machinations, a heart with mountainous dangers, richly cunning, and would never aimlessly release opportunities for people to take advantage.”

“Moreover, given his extraordinary talent, it’s unlikely that he could have achieved True Immortal Primordial Spirit and yet unexpectedly die the chance encounter without specific cause? This certainly involves a mystery.”

Gu Yuan widened his eyes, incredulously saying: “Fairy’s meaning… is that the emergence of the Red Dragon Immortal Palace likely involves traps set by this Red Dragon Taoist? Concealing some scheme? Perhaps, he might not even be dead?”

“This is possible.”

Qin Hongxiao did not deny, adding: “But even if the Red Dragon Elder has schemes, what he seeks or the person he targets is undoubtedly extraordinary, thus this time the Immortal Palace opens, remains a rare opportunity for ordinary cultivators.”

As she said this, she glanced at Gu Yuan: “If you get the chance, you might as well go in and explore.”

“The Red Dragon Elder is a Red Flood Dragon who became a Taoist, acquiring the remains of ancient immortals, mastering the Fire Dao, though a demon dragon, he practices Immortal Daoist Techniques rather than Demon Dao.”

“Therefore, he doesn’t have much violent demon energy, rather he likes to transform into a white-haired immortal elder, gifting common people some opportunities. Within his Immortal Palace, albeit dangerous, as long as one speaks well, shows respect, and abides by its rules, he wouldn’t trouble you, and may even grant you some benefits.”

“Of course, respect must be sincere, otherwise you’ll only cause trouble and provoke greater disasters.”

Gu Yuan couldn’t help but ask: “Fairy knows so much about the Red Dragon Taoist, could it be…”

Qin Hongxiao naturally knew what Gu Yuan wanted to ask, before he could finish, she said: “The Red Dragon Elder is an old friend of my master, it turns out I should call him uncle master.”

What more could Gu Yuan say?

All he could say was the elder is impressive!

To outsiders, the mysterious and elusive, the Red Dragon Taoist who left the Red Dragon Immortal Palace, was merely a former elder in Qin Hongxiao’s eyes.

And the information she revealed to those seeking treasures and immortals within the Red Dragon Immortal Palace, would undeniably become invaluable intelligence, worth thousands of Spirit Stones.

No doubt, at this moment, Gu Yuan was indeed tempted.

Previously, Gu Yuan did not wish to venture into the Immortal Palace to explore because he had True Daoist Technique, and had joined Medicine King Mountain, gained a master, possessed a Top-grade Magical Artifact Flying Sword.

Coupled with perceiving the danger within, he was unwilling to take risks.

But…

With Qin Hongxiao’s recent words to him, the situation now is evidently clear.

As long as he follows her advices, then proceeds cautiously, gathering some benefits safely seems entirely feasible.

Who would dislike having plenty of Spirit Elixirs, Magical Artifacts, spiritual materials, or Daoist Scriptures for cultivation?

After obtaining the Millennia Moon Clam Pearl, Gu Yuan perceived the benefits of investing in cultivation.

Not only did it save much time and effort, but also increased efficiency!

Moreover, desiring to cultivate some Divine Techniques, certain cultivation resources, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are indispensable.

Furthermore, Gu Yuan is raising five Spirit Pets, and they certainly consume excessively.

Currently Ah Huang, Big Mouth, Ao Da, and Ah Wu, the four little ones, are still in the Yunmeng Mountain Range.

Though asking them to avoid the swarming cultivators, it’s mainly since Gu Yuan cannot afford them, thus had to let them fend for themselves, finding food in the mountains.

To sum up, if an occasion arises, venturing the Red Dragon Immortal Palace could be worthwhile, but best to follow Qin Hongxiao’s method for minimizing risks.

Of course, even if moved, Gu Yuan would prioritize caution.

At least he should wait until breaking through to the Celestial Human Realm, mastering one or two sharp Divine Techniques, acquiring enough strength for self-preservation, before delving, otherwise, he decisively refuses to take the wager.
