At this moment, Gu Yuan suddenly deeply felt the world's malice towards a poor nobody like him!

It could only be said that poverty is a person's original sin.

After a moment of silence, Gu Yuan asked:

"What is the value of the inheritance information of a Earth Tier Upper Grade Daoist Scripture?"

To cultivate a sufficiently miraculous, stable, and potentially strong Dao Foundation, ordinary Earth Tier Lower or Middle Grade Daoist Scriptures are not enough.

At the very least, it would have to be an Earth Tier Upper Grade Daoist Scripture to have some possibility.

Gu Yuan was keen on advancing further in the path of cultivation, aiming for immortality, so he must find a way to acquire a Superior Daoist Scripture!

Otherwise, it would be a waste of his Spirit Pet System, and a disregard of his past hard work and efforts in martial arts.

Bao Datong was silent for a moment, then said: "The information on the inheritance of an Earth Tier Upper Grade Daoist Scripture requires at least ten thousand Spirit Stones, and that's only the information. To truly acquire it, you need to personally go and obtain it yourself. Our Celestial Secret Pavilion, in most cases, only provides clients with reliable information, not actual precious items!"

"Understood."

Gu Yuan nodded slowly.

Ten thousand Spirit Stones, even if he sold himself, he couldn't afford it.

And this was only just the related information.

Thus, it seemed impossible to obtain a suitable Superior Daoist Scripture through the Celestial Secret Pavilion; he had to think of a way through Medicine King Mountain or that woman named Qin.

...

The sky gradually brightened, and the sun rose.

Gu Yuan bid farewell to Bao Datong and the others, and headed along the mountain path towards Beiliang City.

Before setting off, Bao Datong had shared an important message with him for free.

The Red Dragon Immortal Palace seemed to have appeared in the world but was actually still hidden in a separate space, self-contained and able to move within the world.

Thousands of years ago, the Red Dragon Immortal Palace had descended into the world, not in the Yunmeng Mountain Range, but in the Western Desert.

Over these millennia, it has opened several times, although the location is unpredictable, the timing can be traced.

Based on previous occurrences, the day of the solar eclipse in five months should be the day when the Red Dragon Immortal Palace opens!

Bao Datong shared this important information with Gu Yuan, clearly to repay a favor and to establish a good relationship with him.

The Red Dragon Immortal Palace contains countless rare treasures and Daoist Scriptures. If Gu Yuan can enter, obtain many treasures or Daoist Scriptures, he naturally wouldn't worry about finding the True Daoist Technique he needed.

However... the day the Red Dragon Immortal Palace opens will inevitably attract many powerful figures, and many disputes will arise.

Whether entering to seek fortune is good or bad is still unknown.

How to choose is all up to Gu Yuan himself.

Gu Yuan accepted Bao Datong's goodwill and understood his intentions.

As for whether to venture into the Red Dragon Immortal Palace, he had no such thoughts for the time being.

Not to mention that entering it requires the Red Dragon Order.

Even if he had the Red Dragon Order, Gu Yuan would never join the excitement.

The True Daoist Technique is important, but his life is more important!

If Gu Yuan became a Celestial Human Realm Cultivator and had some self-preservation ability, perhaps he might be tempted to go.

But now he is just an Innate Martial Master, going would be courting death, only a fool would risk their life.

Gu Yuan continued on his way, checking the newly acquired Storage Pouch.

Most of the items inside were trivial, miscellaneous items, but there were also some gold, silver, and jewels, as well as a few weapons of decent quality.

Other than that, there was nothing else.

Gu Yuan didn't really mind since the Storage Pouch itself was already a good find for him.

By noon, the sun became intensely hot.

After walking another stretch along the main road, as he passed through a canyon, Gu Yuan suddenly halted, fixing his gaze on the ground.

The ground was slightly shaking, causing some pebbles and dust to be occasionally jolted up.

In the distance, there came indistinct rumbling sounds, resembling thunderous crashes, as if a fierce beast was roaring.

With a light tap of his toe, Gu Yuan agilely ascended the rock face, soon reaching the top of a nearby low peak.

Then, following the sound, he looked out into the distance and saw two terrifying figures engaged in a magical battle within the mountains ahead!

One of them was a gigantic toad.

The toad was immense, towering over a hundred meters, its entire body dark green, covered in repulsive, bulging warts of various sizes, each seeming to hold an explosive power!

The toad exuded an extremely potent and terrifying aura, frightening all birds and beasts within a dozen miles away in a frantic scatter.

On its back, from head to tailbone, was a shimmering golden thread, dazzling under the sunlight, emitting an indescribable, dreadful aura!

Upon closer inspection, a short, rotund old man stood atop the toad's head. Although his aura was restrained, the fact that he stood on such a terrifying toad was evidence of his extraordinariness.

Opposite this figure was a handsome young man floating in the air. His long hair reached his waist, emitting a strange purple-blue radiance, while a cloud of auspicious light was beneath his feet.

Around him, seven brilliant beams of purple-silver starlight formed the Beidou Formation, emanating a stringent and domineering killing intent!

Each beam of starlight resembled a supreme Immortal Sword, radiant and emitting an unrivaled sharpness!

Working in unison, they formed a tightly-knit array.

The battle between the two with the toad involved intense magical exchanges, with starlight scattering and golden poisons pervading the air.

Even the aftermath merely scraped away a thick layer of ground, leveling the surrounding mountains, shredding vegetation, and sending countless fragments flying, corroded by poison and reduced to ash by starlight!

Gu Yuan even saw a snake demon, over ten meters long, emerge from a cave as if startled, its aura more fearsome than that of the notorious Ghost Mourner.

Yet in the next moment, a faint starlight descended, crushing most of its body into pulp.

"Such divine techniques, could it be a Celestial Human Dao Foundation? Or a Saint-Entering Golden Pill?"

Witnessing this terrifying scene, Gu Yuan's eyelid twitched, and without a word, he turned to flee.

This kind of commotion should definitely not be observed from too close, lest he be caught in the crossfire.

Behind him, voices of the two could be faintly heard.

"Baochan True Master, you scattered countless blood larvae into rivers while secretly cultivating the Blood Refining Mosquito Gu, harming many humans and beasts after absorbing their essence blood and emerging as blood mosquitoes. You must not have imagined that the common mortals you treated as ants back then would come seeking revenge now, right?"

"Revenge against me? Duan Chen, I heard you joined the Star River Sword Sect, becoming its True Inheritance, using formations as your Dao and mastering the Seven-Star Immortal Slaying Array. Seeing it now, you indeed seem a rare cultivation seed… but you still lack the caliber to kill this old man; talk to me again when you've created a Golden Core!"

"Whether I can or not isn't up to you! Baochan Old Monster, I've long heard that your Golden Threaded Treasure Toad is an exotic gu, possessing a trace of the Heaven-Swallowing Toad's lineage, painstakingly cultivated using the Gu God Sect's secret methods. Today, let me witness your skills with the Seven-Star Immortal Slaying Array..."

"..."

The voices behind gradually faded, yet Gu Yuan didn't stop running.

He ran for five or six hours until he looped back into Beiliang County's territory, only then did Gu Yuan breathe a sigh of relief.
