The sound seemed to be coming from the direction of the Jade House.

He hurriedly walked towards the jade house, wanting to see what was going on.

Arriving at the Jade House, Su He pushed open the door and went inside.

Inside the jade house, thousands of gold-devouring insects were wriggling on the stone platform, making a noisy noise.

These gold-devouring insects are now completely different from what they used to be.

They were twice as big as before, and their shells had become harder, shimmering with a black-gold luster.

Their mouthparts have become sharper, exuding a fierce aura.

Su He carefully examined the gold-devouring insects and felt that their aura had become even stronger, indicating that they had undergone another transformation.

Moreover, judging from the aura emanating from them, this transformation is clearly more thorough than any of the previous ones.

Su He was overjoyed, knowing that the strength of these Gold-Eating Insects was probably no longer what it used to be.

As he was thinking, he suddenly sensed a powerful aura rapidly approaching.

Su He was slightly taken aback, then realized that this aura belonged to Juechenzi.

He hurriedly stepped out of the jade house and saw that Juechenzi had already landed outside Qingxuan Valley and was walking quickly toward him.

Upon seeing Su He, Juechenzi smiled with satisfaction.

He strode forward and carefully examined Su He, only to find that Su He's aura had become even stronger, clearly indicating that his cultivation had improved again.

"Congratulations, Su He. It seems you've gained a lot from your seclusion this time."

Juechenzi said sincerely.

Su He smiled and nodded.

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Sect Leader. I have indeed gained a lot from this seclusion."

As Su He spoke, he took out a Green Bamboo Peak Cloud Sword from his storage ring and handed it to Juechenzi.

"Senior Brother Sect Leader, this is the Azure Bamboo Peak Cloud Sword that I forged during my seclusion. Please take a look."

Juechenzi took the sword and examined it carefully. He felt that the sword was entirely blue-green, with a long blade, a sharp edge, and an aura of fierceness.

On the blade of the sword, there were also some mysterious runes engraved, shimmering with golden light.

Juechenzi couldn't help but marvel, praising Suhe's craftsmanship endlessly.

"What a fine sword! What a fine sword! I didn't expect your skills to have improved so much. The quality of this sword would probably be considered top-tier even in ancient times."

Su He was overjoyed to hear Juechenzi's praise.

He quickly took out the remaining 71 Green Bamboo Peak Cloud Swords and placed them in front of Juechenzi.

"Senior Brother Sect Leader, during this seclusion, I forged a total of 72 Green Bamboo Peak Cloud Swords. Each one has undergone repeated tempering and polishing, and is of superior quality."

Juechenzi looked at the 72 Green Bamboo Peak Cloud Swords in front of him with admiration.

"By the way, Senior Brother Sect Leader, my Gold-Eating Insects seem to have undergone another molt. I wonder if you would be so kind as to take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Juechenzi's face lit up with delight.

"Okay, let's go take a look."

The two arrived at the Jade House together.

Juechenzi couldn't help but marvel at the gold-devouring insects inside the jade house.

"This is truly remarkable. The size and aura of these Gold-Eating Insects are several times stronger than before."

"It seems their potential far exceeds my expectations."

Su He was also overjoyed. With these gold-devouring insects, his strength would surely reach a new level.

Juechenzi thought for a moment.

"Su He, your current cultivation level has reached the peak of the seventh level of Martial Saint. If you want to break through to Martial Saint, you will need some high-level demon beast inner cores to consolidate your cultivation."

"Why don't you take this opportunity to hunt some high-level demonic beasts in the nearby mountains and forests, collect their inner cores, and prepare for breaking through to the Martial Saint realm?"

Upon hearing this, Su He quickly nodded and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother Sect Leader. I will make preparations now and set off to hunt monsters on another day."

Juechenzi gave Suhe a few more instructions before taking his leave.

Just as Su He was about to leave Tianjian Mountain, he suddenly heard someone call his name from behind.

He turned around and saw a young disciple walking quickly toward him.

This disciple, named Jin Tianxiang, is an outer disciple of Tianjian Mountain. He enjoys traveling around in search of opportunities.

Jin Tianxiang walked up to Su He and greeted him with a smile.

"Senior Brother Su, where are you going?"

Su He smiled.

"I plan to hunt monsters in the nearby mountains and forests and collect the inner cores of some high-level monsters in preparation for breaking through to the Martial Saint stage."

Upon hearing this, Jin Tianxiang's eyes lit up.

"Senior Brother Su, although these demon beast cores you mentioned are helpful for cultivation, their grade is limited after all. I'm afraid they're not enough to break through to the Martial Saint stage."

Su He nodded upon hearing this.

"You're right, but it's better than nothing."

Jin Tianxiang smiled mysteriously, leaned closer to Su He, and whispered, "Senior Brother Su, I know a place with treasures that are definitely enough for you to break through."

Su He's interest was piqued, and he asked, "Oh? Where?"

Jin Tianxiang said, "It's the remains of an ancient cultivator, located on a nearby deserted island."

"Although the magic array there is very strong, once it is broken, you can freely search for the treasures inside."

Upon hearing this, Su He couldn't help but feel a little tempted.

But then he thought about it again and shook his head.

"No, that is the remains of ancient cultivators. The magic array inside is probably extraordinary. If we rush in, we might be in danger."

Jin Tianxiang didn't take it seriously.

"Senior Brother Su, you're being too cautious."

I've already found two friends; the three of us going together should be enough to handle the magic array there.

"Besides, the treasures inside are definitely worth more than their price, making it worth the risk."

Su He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"No, I'd better go hunt monsters first, and then I can explore that ruin later when I have the chance."

Jin Tianxiang was not discouraged when he saw that Su He remained unmoved.

He continued to persuade him, "Senior Brother Su, think about it. If we can find enough treasures in that ruin, then your breakthrough to Martial Saint will be just around the corner."

"At that time, you will be famous throughout the entire cultivation world, and you may even obtain more opportunities and resources, which are all good things for cultivation."

Su He was somewhat tempted after hearing Jin Tianxiang's words.

If I can find enough treasures in those ruins, my cultivation will advance further, and I will be able to stand tall in the cultivation world.

Thinking about this, Su He couldn't help but feel a little restless.

He looked at Jin Tianxiang and asked, "What are the cultivation levels of those two friends you mentioned? Are they reliable?"

Jin Tianxiang quickly said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Su. They are both my good brothers. Their cultivation levels are around the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining, and they are both truly talented."
