Chapter 24: Unusual Poison Formulas

In the room, Gu He tightly shut his eyes, completely absorbed in absorbing the information within his mind.

Half an hour later, Gu He's eyelids twitched slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes, revealing a hint of astonishment. Originally, Gu He hadn't been interested in concocting poisons.

However, after receiving the information recorded in the Scroll of Myriad Poisons, his perspective suddenly shifted. It seemed that becoming a poison master was quite intriguing.

The Scroll of Myriad Poisons not only contained various methods for concocting unique poisonous substances but also many secret techniques of the poison path.

If he mastered the content within, he could effectively kill without leaving a trace, rendering opponents defenseless.

Good stuff!

Thinking of the various unusual poison formulas and secret techniques within his mind, a smile tugged at the corner of Gu He's mouth. Three days flew by, and soon, the flying beast arrived at the imperial capital.

As they neared the capital, Gu He didn't wait for the "landing." He directly carried Xiao Yi Xian and headed toward Yun Lan Sect.

Yun Lan Sect was situated atop Yun Lan Mountain, which was only a few dozen miles away from the capital. The two were quite close, resembling two massive entities relying on each other.

Carrying Xiao Yi Xian, Gu He flew toward the snowy white mountain peak that seemed to pierce the sky. For Gu He, a distance of several dozen miles was just half an hour's journey.

"Disciple, we have arrived at Yun Lan Sect." In the sky, Gu He looked down and said to Xiao Yi Xian, who was in his embrace. At his words, Xiao Yi Xian's beautiful eyes turned downward.

What greeted her gaze were the green stone steps that extended from the foot of the mountain to the horizon, looking like a ladder to the heavens.

"Wow, such a tall mountain!" "This is Yun Lan Sect!"

Seeing the Yun Lan Mountain that soared into the sky, amazement flickered in Xiao Yi Xian's eyes, and she couldn't help but exclaim. Gu He carried Xiao Yi Xian and flew directly toward Yun Lan Mountain.

At the end of the winding stone steps, amidst the mist and clouds, lay a vast square paved entirely with giant stones, exuding an atmosphere of antiquity and grandeur.

In the centre of the square, stood a massive stone monument, towering tall. It recorded the names of all previous sect masters and individuals who had made significant contributions to the sect.

"Hey, look, who's that?" "Who dares to fly above Yun Lan Sect?"

"That seems to be Elder Gu He!" "Oh, then it's fine!"

Carrying Xiao Yi Xian, Gu He soared directly above Yun Lan Sect, naturally drawing the attention of many and sparking a wave of discussions.

Deep within Yun Lan Sect, on a loft, Yun Yun gazed at the white figure in the void with a hint of puzzlement in her beautiful eyes.

"Elder Gu He returned to the sect after a month." "Moreover, he brought back a girl?" "What is the identity of this girl?"

Tap, tap, tap! Just then, a faint sound of footsteps came from behind Yun Yun.

"Teacher, what's going on?"

Following a melodious and ancient-like laughter, a figure in a graceful moon-white gown approached Yun Yun from behind.

The woman wore a moon-white robe with wide sleeves and a tight waist, accentuated by a delicate silver belt that perfectly showcased her slender waist.

With delicate hands and skin like supple fat, she possessed exquisite facial features and a charming smile that carried a hint of ethereal elegance.

Her seemingly gentle smile also bore a touch of distant aloofness. Adorning her tender earlobes were a pair of green jade pendants

that swayed gently, producing soft tinkling sounds akin to a melodious tune played by a mountain stream and a reef.

"Elder Gu He has returned." Upon hearing the voice, Yun Yun turned her head to glance at the woman behind her. "Yan Ran, the Gathering Qi pill used for the annulment of the engagement was personally refined by Elder Gu He. Tomorrow, I will take you to personally thank Elder Gu He."

The sudden appearance of the woman was none other than Yun Yun's direct disciple, Nalan Yan Ran. "Yes, I understand, Teacher." At her words, Nalan Yan Ran's beautiful eyes turned toward the white figure in the sky, her gaze carrying a trace of respect.

As the Direct disciple of the sect master, Nalan Yan Ran had received numerous cultivation elixirs from Gu He's hands and naturally held him in high regard.

"Oh!" Suddenly, a soft exclamation sounded. Nalan Yan Ran looked at the girl in Gu He's arms with surprise. "Why is Elder Gu He carrying someone?"

"Perhaps she's a new disciple recently accepted by Elder Gu He." Yun Yun speculated inwardly. If that were the case, then they might need to prepare a proper welcome gift for this visit.

"Yan Ran, how has your recent progress in cultivation been?" Once Gu He's figure vanished into the sky, Yun Yun shifted her gaze to the girl by her side.

At her question, a smile graced Nalan Yan Ran's beautiful face, and she replied in a sweet voice, "Teacher, I've broken through to a four-star Dou Practitioner."

"A four-star Dou Practitioner? Not bad." Satisfaction appeared in Yun Yun's eyes, but she still offered guidance. "Since you've made a three-year agreement with Xiao Yan, as the Junior Sect Master of Yun Lan Sect, in the battle three years from now, you must only win and not lose!"

As she spoke, Yun Yun's tone grew slightly serious. Hearing this, determination flashed across Nalan Yan Ran's stunning face.

"Teacher, you can rest assured. In the battle three years from now, I, your disciple, will definitely not tarnish the reputation of Yun Lan Sect."

The girl's voice was resolute, filled with confidence as she thought of the exceptional talent displayed by the young man she was no longer engaged to.

Xiao Yan, three years from now, I will make you admit defeat willingly!

"Yan Ran, rest assured. Just focus on your cultivation, and you don't need to worry about resources. I will prepare everything for you."

Yun Yun looked at her confident disciple, a satisfied smile gracing her beautiful face. "Yes." Nalan Yan Ran nodded. As the Junior Sect Master of Yun Lan Sect, she never lacked cultivation resources.

...

"This is where I live." Deep within Yun Lan Mountain, Gu He carried Xiao Yan and stopped at his own courtyard. "Teacher, will I be living here from now on?"

Xiao Yi Xian looked at the refined and tranquil courtyard before her, excitement shimmering in her eyes. "It's up to you."

Gu He replied casually, "You can choose another residence if you'd like, or you can pick a room in this courtyard. It's quite spacious."

"Then, disciple will definitely stay with you, Teacher." Xiao Yi Xian spoke without hesitation. In Yun Lan Sect, she only knew her teacher, so staying elsewhere wouldn't suit her.

Moreover, living with her teacher would facilitate seeking guidance. "Hehe, as you wish. As long as you're happy." Gu He ruffled Xiao Yan's hair affectionately.

"Teacher, Teacher!" Just then, from outside the courtyard, a few calls could be heard.

In the next moment, an excited young man dashed into the courtyard. "Teacher, you're back?"
