Chapter 58 Human Heart and Human Nature

Mo Yu smiled indulgently and put the items into his storage ring.

Gu Shihan smiled, waved her hand and took out a few more items, saying with a smile, "Senior brother, just accept these. There are many good things in Lost Valley. This is also a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk and a ten-thousand-year-old silk bamboo. You get one, and I also prepared one for Master! And this egg is said to be a fire unicorn, which is just right for you."

"A fire qilin? For me? Junior sister, you also have a fire spirit root, why don't you form a contract with it yourself!"

"Senior brother, I already have the Fire Phoenix, I don't need it anymore. If I give it to you, you'll form a contract with it. Once you become stronger, I can hide behind you and enjoy the good life..."

Gu Shihan smiled and looked at Mo Yu. Seeing that his eyes were clear and there was no greed in them, she breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that her senior brother was indeed of good character.

"Junior sister, what are you doing..." Mo Yu was shocked by Gu Shihan's generosity and thought to himself, "This junior sister has truly recognized me. It's just that I, as her senior brother, have done too little for her. I must work harder to protect her in the future!"

"Senior brother, stop being so wishy-washy. Just accept what I'm giving you. You're my dear senior brother, who else would I give it to if not you?"
“Alright! Junior sister, I accept this. From now on, your affairs are my affairs, Mo Yu’s affairs. No one can bully you, including myself!” Mo Yu said earnestly.

"Ten Thousand Year Silk Bamboo? This is just in time! I'm looking for materials to forge my natal sword, and this can be used as a sword blank. Thank you, Xiao Han!"

The senior and junior disciples chatted for a while longer before Venerable Danhua returned to Danjian Peak, and the three of them gathered in the main hall of the peak.

"Master! I'm back safely!"

"Yes, it's good to be back! Your cultivation is solid, and your spiritual energy is condensed and abundant. You can start preparing to form your core!"

"Yes, Master!" Gu Shihan took out a jade box containing a ten-jin bottle of ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk, nine Enlightenment Tree leaves, and ten ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs.

"Master, are these gifts from your disciple to show my respect?" Gu Shihan asked with a bright smile and a sweet voice.

"Xiao Han, do you know the value of these things?" Venerable Danhua asked with a serious expression.

“Master, Xiao Han knows what value it is to give to you. Besides, I have already left enough for myself.”

Venerable Danhua opened the jade boxes one by one, his eyes drawn to the few black and white leaves inside. He exclaimed in surprise, "Enlightenment Leaves?!"

"Yes, Master. Your disciple found an Enlightenment Tree in Lost Valley. I picked some of the mature leaves from the tree, but the quantity is limited."

Gu Shihan thought for a moment, then took out a jade box and handed it to Mo Yu: "Senior brother, this is for you. I originally planned to give it to you when your cultivation level was higher, but I'm giving it to you today as well!"

"I have one too?! This is a rare and precious item, and it won't be easy to come across it again. Junior sister, you should keep it!" Mo Yu didn't take it, but instead advised her.

"I'll keep it! I'll accept it if you give it to me! Master, please accept it! I can't refuse my filial piety."

"Alright! Master accepts it! Mo Yu, since it was given to you by your junior sister, you should accept it." Venerable Danhua smiled and put everything on the table into his storage ring.

He rummaged through his storage ring, took out ten jade bottles, and handed them to Gu Shihan, saying, "These pills are relatively uncommon. It's good that you don't need them, but I'm giving them to you in case you need them."

After thinking for a moment, Venerable Danhua took out another storage bag and placed it in Gu Shihan's hand. It was full of spirit stones, numbering no less than a million. He said calmly, "Buy whatever you want. If you run out, just ask your master for more!"

Gu Shihan didn't hesitate and obediently accepted it. "Xiaohan, have any strange things happened in the Xuan Tian Secret Realm? And what's the situation with that Gu Yufei?"

“Master, I was teleported into the Xuan Tian Secret Realm from the Yangqi Mountains. By the way, the place where I landed is said to be the Green Demon Land. I obtained some crystals there, but I don’t know what they are or what they are used for.”

Gu Shihan took out more than a dozen green crystals and placed them on the table. Danhua Venerable and Moyu examined them carefully.

After pondering for a moment, Venerable Danhua said, "This thing should be Green Demon Crystal, the main ingredient of the Exorcism Pill. Xiaohan, how much of this did you collect? The sect urgently needs this. If possible, I will use it to exchange for contribution points for you."

"Master, what is the main ingredient of the exorcism pill? Have any demons appeared?" Gu Shihan asked curiously.

"Yes, traces of demons have been found in several places, and many people have been crippled by demonic energy. Exorcism pills can effectively control the entry of demonic energy into the body, and all major sects are actively stocking up on them."

However, Green Demon Crystals are extremely rare; our Five Flowers Sect has fewer than ten in total, enough to refine approximately a thousand Exorcism Pills.

"I see! Master, I didn't get many, only about a thousand!" Gu Shihan didn't hesitate and took out the jade box containing the green magic stones, which contained a full thousand stones.

"A thousand green magic crystals? That's wonderful! That's wonderful!" Venerable Danhua laughed heartily, the heavy weight that had been pressing on his heart for the past few days was instantly lifted.

"Mo Yu, Xiao Han, I'll go and refine a batch of demon-repelling pills for you two later, just in case! Alright, Xiao Han, what do you think about Gu Yufei's matter?!"

“Master, there is a soul beside Gu Yufei that has been helping her all along. It is estimated that he taught her the seductive arts.”

"In the secret realm, many cultivators died protecting her. She's very wicked and seems to harbor a deep resentment towards her disciple. She even tried to harm him, but I was lucky enough to escape danger," Gu Shihan said selectively.

"How do you know about the existence of the soul?" Venerable Danhua asked, frowning.

Gu Shihan casually picked up the little white fox and said with a smile, "My contracted beast Xingbai sensed it!"

"A nine-tailed celestial fox cub?!" Venerable Danhua had a sharp eye and immediately noticed Xingbai's difference. He was shocked. Wasn't his little disciple's luck too profound?! It would be a bit unreasonable to say that she wasn't a chosen one.

Thinking of this, Venerable Danhua's mind became even more focused. He was determined to protect this disciple and prevent him from dying halfway through his journey.

"I understand. Don't take the matter of the black mist today to heart. Your luck is very good. Some evil people have the ability to observe luck. Most of the people they kidnap have strong luck. Gu Yufei's luck is quite good."

"I have a spell here that can adjust and conceal the color of one's aura. Take it back and study it carefully; being targeted by the black mist is not a good thing. Go back and cultivate in seclusion to improve your cultivation!"

Venerable Danhua waved to dismiss Moyu and his sister, and the two bid farewell and left the main hall of the peak.

"Senior brother, I'm going back to seclusion now!"

"Alright! Senior brother will wait until you form your core, then I'll take you on some training!"

"Alright!" Gu Shihan waved her hand, then rode her sword straight into the sky, heading towards the summit of Danyun Peak.
