The Orchid Mountains.

The Jiuli bronze flying boat soared through the air.

After the exit of the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm was closed three times, Elder Zhang, who was leading the team, finished counting the disciples who came out and recording the relevant information. Then, Elder Zhang controlled the Nine Li Bronze Flying Boat to fly back to the Taiyi Sect.

Despite the overwhelming momentum, no foolish creatures dared to block the way in the Youlan Mountains.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Dazhao Mountain is not located deep in the Youlan Mountains, plus the great sense of oppression given by the Jiuli Bronze Flying Boat.

There are no powerful creatures in the outer area of ​​the Youlan Mountains, because this area is the territory of the Taiyi Sect, and any powerful creatures there have long been dealt with by the Taiyi Sect.

Even if some creatures were to appear, they would find it difficult to linger in the vicinity for long.

"Junior Brother Shi Yi, it seems your experience in the secret realm was quite exciting!"

Su Junyou stood next to Shi Yi and said with a smile.

After he emerged from the secret realm, he saw Qin Yao and the disciples of Qianya Peak not far from Shi Yi.

Meanwhile, Shi Yi and Qin Yao were still talking.

Before entering the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm, he knew that Shi Yi did not know Qin Yao or any of the disciples of Qianya Peak.

They're chatting now, so they must have met in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm and have a pretty good relationship to be doing this.

"Well, it's fine if Senior Brother Su says so."

"This trip to the secret realm was somewhat complicated. After returning to the sect, I will need to report on the matter to Master Gu."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi sighed and slowly said.

After reporting the events in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm to Elder Zhang, who was leading the team, the matter was not yet over for Shi Yi.

When the time comes, Qu Sheng will be handed over to the Enforcement Hall for processing, and as a witness, he will need to cooperate with the Enforcement Hall.

It wasn't that Shi Yi was asked to help investigate Qu Sheng, but rather that he needed to report again on what he had seen and heard in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm, which would be overseen by high-ranking members of the sect.

Not only Shi Yi, but Qin Yao was the same.

This is also the way things are done within the sect; it's not simply a matter of arresting someone and calling it a day.

As for the interrogation of Qu Sheng and related matters, that was none of Shi Yi's business. However, at that time, it would require the intervention of the higher-ups of Gu Yue Peak behind him, and even Gu Qianqiu would need to take action.

This matter involves a sect elder, which is a major problem, and the elder surnamed Zeng involved may also get involved.

He didn't know how far things would go, but Shi Yi knew very well that this was not something he could interfere with.

Therefore, he did not tell Qin Yao and Elder Zhang about this matter, and pretended not to know for the time being.

"We are too far apart on this trip to the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm. Otherwise, if you had met us, Junior Brother Shi Yi, the trip would have been much smoother."

When Su Junyou returned, he overheard some conversations, but he didn't know the details of the matter.

Not only him, but almost everyone else felt the same way, knowing that something big must have happened, otherwise Elder Zhang, who was leading the team, would not have spoken to Shi Yi and the others alone.

At that time, the others flew back to the airship, but it wasn't that they didn't see that Shi Yi and the others didn't follow back to the airship; they were waiting there.

However, Su Junyou did not ask in detail, because there were some things that no one had said, which meant that they could not be said for the time being, or that he was not qualified to know for the time being. Elder Zhang and the others might have made requests.

If he knew, Shi Yi would probably have told him on his own initiative.

Now that Shi Yi has mentioned informing Gu Qianqiu, it's clear that he's not qualified to know for the time being.

Therefore, Su Junyou was quite sensible and did not ask about the matter in detail, but instead changed the subject to other things.

"The location where we land after entering the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm is random; no one can arrange it!"

"It's wonderful that we can all leave this world safe and sound."

Shi Yi understood Su Junyou's words of comfort and replied.

He didn't pay much attention to what was happening in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm.

Although the whole process seemed somewhat dangerous, it was entirely under his control.

In his view, Qu Sheng was not a great threat.

Although he used his teleportation ability once in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm, no one else witnessed the entire process.

Furthermore, no one could have guessed that he could do this.

It can tear through the void and walk through it; only a very powerful Tribulation Immortal master can do that.

No one in the entire Taiyi Sect has ever been able to achieve this.

As for Shi Yi, a disciple whose Daoist cultivation was at the peak of the Object Manipulation realm, it was impossible for others to have done this, so they basically did not doubt it.

In contrast, his words to Qin Yao about preparing misleading tracking methods in advance seemed more authentic.

He had made preparations in advance, and with the secret technique of concealing his breath, this was in line with Shi Yi's current level of Daoist cultivation.

Sometimes, the truth that people are willing to believe is the truth that people accept, while the truth itself is something that no one believes.

In the sky, the Jiuli bronze flying boat moved very fast and traveled without hindrance.

Ancient Moon Peak.

After the Nine Li Bronze Flying Boat returned to the Taiyi Sect, Shi Yi did not go directly back to his residence in the inner courtyard, but instead went to Guyue Peak with Su Junyou and the others.

He needed to report the events in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm to Gu Qianqiu as soon as possible.

After returning to Guyue Peak, Shi Yi parted ways with Su Junyou and the others. Su Junyou and the others were to hand over some of their spoils from the secret realm, while the rest would be used to exchange for sect contribution points, pills, and other items.

Shi Yi went directly to the Chengming Palace. He did not have any of the spiritual herbs or materials from the secret realm on him, which was obvious because the aura of these items was very strong.

Without storage treasures, there's no way to conceal it.

Shi Yi had been to Chengming Hall several times and was quite familiar with it.

After the gatekeeper of the main hall finished announcing his arrival, Shi Yi easily made his way into the Chengming Hall.

"Disciple Shi Yi, I pay my respects to the Master."

Shi Yi entered the main hall, where Gu Qianqiu was still cultivating.

Since he came to Chengming Hall several times, Gu Qianqiu had been cultivating. Even when he saw him, he only used one thought to communicate with him, and the rest of his thoughts were used to cultivate in the center of the hall.

It seems that cultivation has become a daily routine for a Taoist master like Gu Qianqiu.

"Hmm, not bad. Since returning from the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm, your aura has become more robust, and you've also gained more Heavenly Fire Yuan Qi!"

"This trip should be quite fruitful."

Gu Qianqiu glanced at Shi Yi and then slowly nodded.

He could sense the aura of Heavenly Fire Yuan Qi on Shi Yi's body, which was also a state of absorbing these attribute Yuan Qi but failing to refine them in time.

Those with weak Taoist cultivation might not be able to see it clearly, but for Gu Qianqiu, it was very clear.

He had also absorbed the Heavenly Fire Qi and used it to condense his Yuan Dan, breaking through to the Solid Core realm in one fell swoop, so he was far more familiar with it than others.

He understood Shi Yi's situation very well, and he did not disappoint his expectations.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master. I have collected enough Heavenly Fire Qi in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm during my trip."

"After I continue to refine my Yin Spirit for a period of time and further condense it, I can try to break through to the Yuan Dan realm."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi replied. His Yin Spirit had also absorbed some Heavenly Fire Qi within the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm, which served as his backup option.

If he fails to condense a golden core using the power of the world, then Shi Yi will use this heavenly fire energy to break through, since Shi Yi is not absolutely certain that he can condense a golden core using the power of the world.

He needs to have backup options in mind so as not to affect his future cultivation.

At the same time, the celestial fire energy that he displayed was something he deliberately revealed.

He had read the relevant records in the book, which naturally mentioned that when a Yin Spirit absorbs elemental energy but fails to refine it completely, it will reveal the aura of the relevant elemental energy on its body.

Those who practice the same cultivation method will have a more pronounced perception of this.

Therefore, he needed to subtly reveal this situation so that Gu Qianqiu would know.

"That's right. When you break through to the Object Manipulation Realm and condense your Yuan Dan, you shouldn't be too hasty."

"First, let the Yin Spirit condense to its own limit. This condensation process can take a long time. Don't be too hasty. After all, cultivation is not something that can be accomplished overnight."

"Once you've prepared the other necessary items for your breakthrough, then we can consider the breakthrough itself."

"Maintaining a good mindset is crucial when making a breakthrough."

Gu Qianqiu looked at Shi Yi and said slowly.

Shi Yi had asked him about matters related to breaking through to the Yuan Dan realm before, but he didn't say much at the time.

At this time, Shi Yi had already collected enough Heavenly Fire Qi, and had the foundation to break through to the Yuan Dan realm.

In addition, Shi Yi's overall performance was also quite good, so he specifically talked more about the details of the breakthrough, so that Shi Yi could avoid some detours.

As his mentor, he wouldn't interfere in everything Shi Yi did; he would only guide Shi Yi at crucial moments.

This is also the philosophy of his followers.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master. I will keep it in mind."

"I have something important to report to my master on this trip."

Shi Yi listened attentively and kept Gu Qianqiu's words in mind.

The breakthrough insights of masters in the Silent Meditation Realm are more detailed and more worthy of reference than those recorded in the books in the Transmission Pavilion.

After listening, Shi Yi finally revealed his purpose.

His trip here seemed to be just to report on the events in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm, but after getting to know Gu Qianqiu's personality, he guessed that there would be other gains.

Gu Qianqiu's insights into cultivation breakthroughs are excellent proof of this.

However, Shi Yi hadn't yet done what he wanted to do, and he only brought it up after Gu Qianqiu finished speaking.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Gu Qianqiu said upon hearing this.

He originally thought that Shi Yi had come to express his gratitude and also wanted to know more about breaking through to the Yuan Dan realm, but now it seems that he had misunderstood!
However, this also made him even more curious about what Shi Yi was going to mention.

"After entering the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm this time..."

Shi Yi repeated what he had said to Qin Yao and the team leader before.

The whole story was explained very clearly.

After finishing speaking, Shi Yi did not stop.

There are some things he still needs to report, and he only needs to report to Gu Qianqiu.

"In addition, there is something else that I haven't told Elder Zhang and the others before."

"I also overheard the conversation between the two disciples from Yulan Peak. They mentioned an elder surnamed Zeng, who seemed to be the elder who led the previous secret realm."

"The matter of that disciple from Yulan Peak collecting the thousand-year-old fire lotus is also related to this in his words."

"I have only heard a few words about this matter and do not know the specifics."

Shi Yi then told Gu Qianqiu about the conversation between Qu Sheng and Gu Qianqiu.

This matter involved the sect elders, so Shi Yi had not mentioned it to Qin Yao and Elder Zhang beforehand.

Because this could be a big problem, and if not handled properly, it could affect him.

It was only when he returned to Guyue Peak that he told Gu Qianqiu about this.

Shi Yi was well aware of Gu Qianqiu's status within the Taiyi Sect: one of the twelve guardian elders of the Taiyi Sect, and the peak master of Guyue Peak—each of them was extraordinary.

They are naturally qualified to get involved in such matters, and may even be in charge of them.

"I am aware of this matter. You have done well."

"When the people from the Enforcement Hall come to find you, just repeat what you said before to them. As for the rest of the matter concerning Elder Zeng, you don't need to worry about it or tell the people from the Enforcement Hall about it. Just leave it to your master to handle."

"The rewards that the sect is obligated to give you will be delivered to you in due time."

"As your teacher, I also look forward to your early advancement to the Yuan Dan realm, passing the elite disciple assessment, and entering the Ancient Moon Peak for cultivation."

After hearing this, a strange light flashed in Gu Qianqiu's eyes.

He never expected that Shi Yi would encounter such a thing in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm.

He could sense the danger throughout the entire process.

Given Shi Yi's current peak cultivation level in object manipulation, it was quite surprising that he could do such a thing.

As for Shi Yi's exaggerated claims, he never doubted them, because Qu Sheng, the person involved, has now been brought back to the Enforcement Hall.

Meanwhile, Qin Yao, another witness, also returned to her sect!
Therefore, it's easy to see through someone's boasting at this time, so there's no need for it at all.

At the same time, Gu Qianqiu mentally raised his evaluation of Shi Yi to a new level.

In Gu Qianqiu's eyes, Shi Yi is now not only very talented in cultivation, but also does extremely well in dealing with people and fighting.

Even those senior elite disciples probably wouldn't have handled things as well as Shi Yi when faced with a situation like this. This ability is also an important factor for a cultivator to go further on the path of cultivation.

As for the elder surnamed Zeng that Shi Yi mentioned later, he was very clear about it. Before this, they, the higher-ups of the sect, had already taken notice of him because he was old and involved in quite a few things.

However, he did not let Shi Yi get involved, because with Shi Yi's current cultivation level, getting involved would not be of any benefit to him.

Furthermore, the fact that Shi Yi reported to him privately clearly showed that Shi Yi trusted him, and Shi Yi's attitude made him very happy.

After all, Shi Yi's behavior clearly showed that he already regarded himself as a disciple of Guyue Peak and as his disciple.

"Yes, Master, I will certainly live up to your expectations."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi replied with a solemn expression.

He could also sense Gu Qianqiu's attitude, which was a good thing for him.

Gu Qianqiu's statement implies that there are unlikely to be any unexpected events in his time in the Heavenly Fire Secret Realm!

Even when he mentioned Elder Zeng, he specifically looked at Gu Qianqiu's expression and aura, only to find that Gu Qianqiu's performance was normal, as if nothing had changed.

He had some guesses about this, but he wisely refrained from bringing them up.
