Chapter 397: The Foundation of Yu

  "The tents of these three jade bottles are elixirs that improve one’s cultivation at the Dou Practitioner level. They should be very helpful to you!" Liu Ling expined gently to Qing Lin, describing the effects of the three elixirs.

  "Thank you, Senior Brother! You’re so kind!" Qing Lin accepted the elixirs with delight, not the least bit shy.

  After Liu Ling presented his gift, Xiao Yixian and Nan Yanran alsht out their gifts for Qing Lin in turn.

  The three then looked around and noticed Xiao Yin, Xiao Jin, and the Fme Dragon cultivating in the valley as well.

  ...

  "This treasure nd of the Yuheir foundation is inparable to the sects of the Chu Yun Empire!" Xiao Yixian thought to herself as she walked around the Rainbow Valley, filled with awe.

  Here, not only was the natural energy dozens of times strohan iside world, but there was also the Rainbow Sacred Lotus above the energy pool, which provided miraculous assistao one’s cultivation. She also saw a medial garden filled with seventh-grade spiritual herbs and, finally, eighteen venomous cicadas exuding a fierce aura.

  "These venomous cicadas don’t seem to be fully matured, yet their strength has already reached the sixth tier!"

  Seeing the power of the cicadas, Xiao Yixian couldn’t help but feel a surge of ay. Given a little more time, these eighteeures alone could likely sweep through the entire Chu Yun Empire.

  After they had toured the valley for a while, the barrier above the Rainbow Valley suddenly twisted. A figure in blue emerged from the distorted space.

  "Disciple greets Mistress!"

  "Greeting, Mistress!"

  Xiao Yixian had heard from Liu Ling and Nan Yanran about Gu He’s retionship with Yun Yun, so she respectfully greeted Yun Yun along with the others.

  "Ah, finally, you brothers and sisters are all together again!"

  Seeing her husband’s disciples gathering, Yun Yun’s face was filled with joy.

  But when she sehe aura surrounding Xiao Yixian, her expression showed a trace of surprise.

  It was a natural rea; Xiao Yixian’s strength, given her age, was truly extraordinary.

  "Xian’er’s talent is truly remarkable!"

  Yun Yun praised Xiao Yixian with a smile.

  "All my achievements are thanks to Master and Mistress. If anyone is extraordinary, it must be both of you!" Xiao Yixian replied with sincere respect.

  Yun Yun quickly waved her hand with a smile, saying, "Haha, you save those praises for your Master. I’m not all that remarkable!"

  "Mistress captured Master’s heart—that’s an achievement in itself!" Xiao Yixian teased, her shyness from a year ago long goer so much experience.

  At her words, Liu Ling, Nan Yanran, and Qing Lin all joined in with approving ughter.

  "You little rascals, you’ve grown bold, daring to joke with your Mistress!"

  Seeing Yun Yun’s faintly blushing face, Gu He feigned anger.

  "We wouldn’t dare, Master!"

  As Gu He’s voice fell, the four disciples quickly bowed their heads in mock apology.

  "Alright, each of you, return to your cultivatio month, I’ll be cheg your progress, and if there’s no improvement, expect punishment," Gu He said with a stern expression.

  "Yes, Master!"

  The four of them bowed deeply to both Gu He and Yun Yun before preparing to retreat.

  Just then, Gu He called out to Nan Yanran.

  "Yanran, stay. I have something to discuss with you."

  Hearing this, Nan Yanran stopped, turned calmly, and approached Gu He and Yun Yun.

  "Yun’er, remember our inal agreement? The goal was for Yanran to break through to the Dou King level before the three-year deadline, right?" Gu He looked at Yun Yun warmly, speaking in a soft tone.

  Hearing this, Yun Yun hen sighed, "Yes, that was the agreement. But now, Yanran has already reached the peak of the Dou Spirit stage. With her current strength, she should have no trouble dealing with that boy from the Xiao family. So, let’s say, husband, that you’ve won this bet!"

  Standing nearby and overhearing this exge, Nan Yanran hid a smile but kept silent.

  Gu He, however, seemed dissatisfied with Yun Yun’s statement of “let’s say you won.” He promptly decred with a strong sense of determination, "That’s not enough. I won’t just ‘sort of’ win… If I promised Yanran would reach the Dou King level within three years, then it will happen."

  With that, Gu He turned his gaze slowly toward Nan Yanran.

  "Yanran, tell me, am I the type of teacher to make promises I ’t keep?"

  "Ah!"

  Startled by Gu He’s question, Nan Yanra a jolt of panid immediately waved her hands, "No, not at all! Master’s word is as good as gold. You have never gone ba a promise!"

  "Exactly. So now, I’ll pass my energy to you one more time. You must do your best and break through to the Dou King level in one go!" Gu He stated firmly.

  Watg this versatioween teacher and student, Yun Yun couldn’t help but stifle a ugh. With her gaze fixed on them, she saw Gu He’s haly touan Yanran’s smooth forehead.

  As Gu He’s hand made taan Yanran’s aura began te rapidly. Withihan thirty seds, a deep rumble echoed from within her body.

  "She’s broken through to Dou King already—how incredible!"

  Sensing the distinct aura of a Dou King-level fighter from Nan Yanran, Yun Yun’s face revealed a fsh of astonishment once more.

  However, at that moment, Nan Yanran’s rapid aura surge began to stabilize, and as Gu He lifted his hand from her forehead, her power settled at the level of a three-star Dou King.

  "Three-star Dou King!"

  Receiving the energy transfer from Gu He, Nan Yanran opened her eyes, examining herself carefully. In the instant, a pair of three-meter-long azure wings spread from her back.

  With her Dou Qi wings unfurled, Nan Yanraedly soared through the space above the Rainbow Valley, reveling in the freedom of flight.

  "The duel with that Xiao family boy is set for the day after tomorrow… I hope Yanran ha well this time. Even if she wins, she shouldn’t humiliate that Xiao junior; after all, it was our Yuhat initiated this matter," Yun Yun murmured softly to Gu He as she watched Nan Yanran flying overhead.

  Gu He ed his arm around Yun Yun’s slender waist, gazing at her with a gentle look. "Yuhe disciples have all grown up now; they have minds of their own… As long as they don’t take things too far, we should let them deal with matters on their own."
