Ji Canghai seemed to discern Gu Yuan's thoughts and was aware of his concerns. He smiled and said, "Rest assured, friend. Although I hail from the Primordial Nether Sect, I have never engaged in any misdeeds, nor committed any wrongful acts. On this point, I can swear by my Dao Heart, or else I shall forever fall into the Nine Netherworld."

"As for your apprehension regarding my identity, it's unnecessary. Due to my unique status, I have never been involved in the affairs of my sect, and I can invite you to explore the Red Dragon Immortal Palace strictly in my personal capacity."

"Invite me?"

Gu Yuan was genuinely surprised this time and couldn't help but say, "Ji, are you joking?"

Ji Canghai shook his head, "I would never joke about such matters."

Gu Yuan furrowed his brow, "Then why doesn't Brother Ji go explore the Red Dragon Immortal Palace now?"

"To be honest, friend, I once stumbled upon an opportunity. Besides obtaining a Red Dragon Order, I also acquired a map."

Ji Canghai walked leisurely with his hands behind his back, coming to stand before Gu Yuan, his gaze calm and far-reaching:

"The inside of the Red Dragon Immortal Palace is said to be a cave mansion, but in reality, it's a small world. This map records part of the layout of the Red Dragon Immortal Palace. If it were only that, it wouldn't matter much; the key is that this map marks some special places."

"What special places?"

Gu Yuan also became slightly interested.

Standing before him was Ji Canghai, a figure comparable to Li Changsheng, and even now, he couldn't discern whether the other was a Celestial Human Realm cultivator or a Golden Core Great Cultivator.

To engage the interest and scheming of such a person, the object must be extraordinary!

"Black Mud Swamp... Thousand Flame Mountain... Kuiling Valley..."

Ji Canghai listed out several place names, saying:

"These places are marked on the map, indicating the presence of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, as well as relic treasures of the Red Dragon Taoist."

"Ordinary spirit medicines and treasures are one thing, but among them are supreme spirit medicines like the Purple Blue Twin Lotus, Thunder Tribulation Vine, Earth Yellow Pearl, and even treasures at the level of magical artifacts, not to mention spiritual materials of the Nine Great Divine Gold level."

At this point, Ji Canghai chuckled and said, "Therefore, I didn't travel with my fellow sect members this time, to avoid being watched by them."

The Great Immortal Sect, like Medicine King Mountain, are rife with open and hidden struggles, with fierce competition that feels like life and death battles, let alone in a Demon Dao sect like the Primordial Nether Sect.

The Demon Dao always encourages competition among its many disciples, and even if disciples kill each other, resulting in bloody carnage, they are completely indifferent, adhering to the law of the jungle, much like breeding venomous creatures. The ultimate goal is to cultivate a Gu King from amidst the multitude.

If what Ji Canghai says is true, Gu Yuan can understand why he doesn't want to travel with his fellow sect members.

Once the information about the map in Ji Canghai's possession is leaked, the first not to spare him will be the other disciples within the Primordial Nether Sect.

However, what caught Gu Yuan's attention was not Ji Canghai's explanation, but the mention of the Purple Blue Twin Lotus and the Nine Great Divine Golds.

Most spirit medicines in the world have diverse effects; one spirit medicine can heal wounds and also replenish Primordial Qi.

However, the Purple Blue Twin Lotus, a supreme spirit medicine, has only one effect, which is to enhance cultivation!

While spirit medicines that enhance cultivation are not uncommon, they often offer limited improvement, and overconsumption can lead to drug resistance and even impurities and side effects.

But the Purple Blue Twin Lotus is different!

This spirit medicine is said to absorb the essence of heaven and earth and is born of the world's creations. It requires no refinement into a pill, just direct ingestion.

Moreover, the longer its maturity, the greater the improvement in cultivation.

And it leaves no hidden dangers!

And that is the most important aspect!

Who wouldn't be tempted by such a treasure?

Of course, even this spirit medicine is not entirely without limitations. It is effective for those below the Yin Spirit Realm, with its effects most pronounced for Celestial Humans! For Golden Core Great Cultivators, the effects are much less.

But Gu Yuan also understood that the Purple Blue Twin Lotus wasn't just beneficial for people; it was equally effective for Spirit Pets like Xiao Qing, Ah Huang, Ao Da, and Big Mouth.

Take Xiao Qing, for instance; its growth stage has already reached 60%. To achieve full maturity, Gu Yuan speculated, it might take several centuries and a massive accumulation of resources.

Not just Xiao Qing, but Ao Da, Ah Huang, Ah Wu, Big Mouth, all grow slowly as well.

But with the Purple Blue Twin Lotus, they could grow to maturity in one leap, allowing Gu Yuan to spend Dao Rhyme Points to enable their transformation and continue to gain their talents.

Improving one's talents seems like a great option for Gu Yuan, possibly as good as raising his cultivation. And if he can achieve both, even better.

Additionally, besides the Purple Blue Twin Lotus, the Nine Great Divine Golds also caught Gu Yuan's attention.

Once a cultivator reaches the Entering Saint Golden Core Realm, they must consider forging a Lifebound Magical Artifact, and many begin doing so in the Celestial Human Realm.

The longer the forging process, the higher the quality, and the greater the power, making it more compatible with the cultivator's being, allowing for ease of use.

Legend has it that the famous spirit treasures in ancient times were the lifebound instruments of certain Great Divine Technique practitioners!

As such, the Lifebound Magical Artifact, being something a cultivator carries for life, is obviously of utmost importance, often regarded as more important than spouse or disciples by many cultivators.

However, many Magical Artifacts, due to material limitations, do have limits.

The divine techniques of Gu Yuan primarily involve swordsmanship, and while the Silver Flood Dragon Sword is of excellent quality, it is not something he forged himself.

Therefore, Gu Yuan intends to find some precious materials to reforge it.

The spiritual materials of the Nine Great Divine Gold level are naturally quite suitable.

Thus, Gu Yuan was genuinely moved.

However, regardless of how tempted he was, certain issues had to be clarified.

"I am very curious."

Gu Yuan fixed his gaze on Ji Canghai and said:

"I am merely an ordinary person with shallow cultivation and minor fame. Why would Brother Ji invite me? Surely Brother Ji could go alone?"

Ji Canghai shook his head: "I checked the sect's records; the internal situation of the Red Dragon Immortal Palace is unique, and unless one is a Primordial Spirit True Immortal, anyone entering it faces restrictions. The higher the cultivation, the greater the restrictions. That's why I plan to find more helpers."

"I have learned about your situation, your clean identity, which is very important to me."

Ji Canghai's bright eyes seemed to see through everything: "As for you saying your cultivation is shallow, haha, while your cultivation may be somewhat shallow, perhaps this means you won't face too many restrictions within the Red Dragon Immortal Palace. This is a good thing for both of us."

"I see... there's one more question."

Gu Yuan looked at him: "Brother Ji, with your unique status, which you must be well aware of, can you give me a reason to trust you?!"
