"Your cultivation is still shallow. The higher your cultivation, the more you can help me. Cultivate well."

Seeing that Gu Yuan took her words to heart, Qin Hongxiao did not wish to stay longer and her figure gradually faded, disappearing within the training room.

The lingering fragrance remained, unwilling to dissipate for a long time.

Ding-a-ling! Ding-a-ling!

It was at this moment, that the bell at the door made a crisp sound.

This sound carried a sense of peace and did not disturb, clearly indicating someone was at the door of the training room, asking if Gu Yuan could let them in.

Gu Yuan hurriedly went forward, and upon opening the door, he saw He Ling True Master standing there.

"Master, please come in."

Gu Yuan quickly made way, inviting He Ling True Master inside, and then proceeded to prepare tea.

"No need to trouble yourself."

He Ling True Master waved his hand and spoke of his purpose: "I came here actually to tell you something..."

But before he could finish, his voice paused as he caught a whiff of the lingering fragrance in the air.

Then, He Ling True Master's expression became somewhat complex.

He sighed lightly and spoke earnestly:

"Ah Yuan, you are my only disciple, and I have high hopes for you. I only wish that you can inherit my legacy and further our sect. If one day, you can forge a top-grade Golden Core or even cultivate into a Yin Spirit or Yang Spirit Dao Fruit, I would rest easy even if I were to die right away."

"However... although my Daoist Swordsmanship doesn't mind the body being pure, indulging in carnal desires can wear down your spirit. You must know that women are gentle competences but also hero's grave; right now, your Sword Dao is not achieved, not even at a small success. Being infatuated with women will only delay your cultivation and squander your resolve."

"Master, you misunderstand, this disciple is not indulging in carnal desires. I just..."

Gu Yuan's face was full of black lines, what in the world is this!

"Enough!"

Before Gu Yuan could finish his sentence, He Ling True Master interrupted with a serious expression: "I was young once too and understand your young people's thoughts!"

"If you have a girl you fancy, I won't stop you nor will I break you apart, but you secretly brought a girl to the training room to act wildly, that's going too far!"

"The training room is a place for cultivation and seclusion, how can you be so reckless here..."

"Master, please watch your words!"

Cold sweat dripped down Gu Yuan's face as he hurriedly interjected: "Things are not like that, the girl just now wasn't my... she was a fairy I invited to discuss important matters..."

However, before he could finish his words, a strand of faint green thunder light appeared out of nowhere.

This thread of thunder light was as thin as hair and agile, striking He Ling True Master with lightning speed.

He Ling True Master activated his protective sword qi, forming barriers around his body.

Even a flying sword treasure that could cut mountains and overturn rivers could be blocked for three to five breaths of time.

However, this green thunder light easily pierced through the layers of sword qi barriers, landing on He Ling True Master.

He Ling True Master's face changed, then his entire body began to twitch as if in an epileptic fit, and faint smoke emerged from his body, accompanied by a burnt smell...

His world-shaking Swordsmanship for slaying demons was utterly ineffective at this moment.

Gu Yuan lowered his head, not daring to look any longer, fearing He Ling True Master's embarrassment.

Clearly, Peach Blossom Fairy had shown mercy, otherwise, she wouldn't have just sent out such a small thread of thunder light.

Despite He Ling True Master's impressive strength that was admired as an immortal who could traverse the skies and enter the blue heavens, he was no match for Peach Blossom Fairy.

The gap between their abilities was larger than the gap between He Ling True Master and Gu Yuan as master and disciple!

It is known that after reaching the Golden Core stage, one is no longer considered human.

Having surpassed the ordinary, possessing certain "immortal" qualities, a long life span, and formidable divine techniques.

Beyond Golden Core, each step requires multiple times more effort and dedication.

In major cultivation sects like Medicine King Mountain, Gu God Sect, and Star River Sword Sect, and even some cultivation families, Golden Cores, while considered high-level power, are not rare.

Above Golden Core, Yin God Giants are exceedingly rare.

Often even among thirty or fifty Golden Cores, there might not be one Yin God Giant born.

Yang Spirit beings are naturally even fewer; they have initially cultivated an undying primordial spirit, nearing the state of immortality.

Such beings are top figures in the entire world.

Only those with great fortune, opportunities, outstanding enlightenment, and exceptional talent can achieve this.

Peach Blossom Fairy, after all, is a great figure in the Dragon Gate Realm. Any further progress, and she will be a Primordial Spirit True Immortal, far beyond comparison with He Ling True Master.

So, it's fortunate Peach Blossom Fairy is not a ruthless person; otherwise, today, He Ling True Master might not have gotten away unscathed.

"Master..."

Seeing He Ling True Master wavering and unsteady, Gu Yuan quickly rushed to support him.

Being so close, he couldn't help but catch a whiff of an enticing meaty aroma, causing Gu Yuan to instinctively swallow, only to get a stern look from He Ling True Master.

"Explain, what exactly happened just now?!"

He Ling True Master spoke with a somewhat unfriendly tone.

He wasn't a fool; this thunder light, plus what Gu Yuan stated, immediately made him realize things were not as he initially thought.

Gu Yuan braced himself and explained, "Master, that fairy just now is actually an acquaintance of mine, Peach Blossom Fairy of Lankao Mountain. I invited her here to request a piece of Taiyin Spirit to cultivate divine techniques, and for no other reason."

He roughly explained the sequence of events.

When the terms "Lankao Mountain" and "Peach Blossom Fairy" were mentioned, He Ling True Master's eyelids twitched, his face twitched, and his gaze towards Gu Yuan changed immediately.

"Good lad... You do have capabilities, even knowing such a fairy..."

After all, he was a high-ranking Ninth Elder of Medicine King Mountain and had naturally heard of Lankao Mountain and Peach Blossom Fairy's reputation.

She was a top-tier loose cultivator known across Qinzhou and even the entire Six States of the Southern Border. More accurately, she was a famous loose female cultivator in the Southern Border.

Her cultivation level was so high that even the two revered Supreme Elders of Medicine King Mountain were just about the same.

He never imagined that his treasured disciple actually knew Peach Blossom Fairy, and seemed to have a positive relationship with her.

No wonder he got struck by a divine thunder just now.

Given Peach Blossom Fairy's esteemed status, not to mention a single strike of divine thunder as a minor punishment, even if she had killed him on the spot, it would not be excessive.

Taking a hit from the divine thunder was already a leniency for him.

Who could blame him for being careless with his words and offending this fairy.

Even in front of Medicine King Mountain's two Supreme Elders, they might not be able to say anything.

Understanding the cause of the matter, He Ling True Master's anger gradually subsided.

Truth be told, this matter couldn't entirely be blamed on Gu Yuan; it was just his own bad luck.

Of course, He Ling True Master wouldn't dare hold anything against Peach Blossom Fairy either.
