Chapter 84 Offering Up Treasures
"Oh? She actually broke my restriction. Could it be that she caused the commotion just now? Impossible. With such a big commotion, her cultivation level should be above mine. There's no reason for a mere Foundation Establishment disciple like her to have such ability."
Feeling the restriction on Tao Tao disappear, Gu Hanshuang slowly opened her eyes. Her expression darkened slightly, but a smile appeared on her face. "It seems she still has many secrets."
"What should we do? What should we do? These are all spirit bamboos that our grandmaster specially cultivated. How can you just destroy them like this? Do you think she will let you off the hook?"
Song Chaofeng was so anxious that he spun around in place, having long forgotten the terrifying power he had just experienced, his mind filled only with Gu Hanshuang's frightening face.
He was anxious but helpless. She had no idea that Lingzhu would die. In that emergency, she could only think of herself.
"How about we run away?" Tao Tao suddenly suggested. As soon as he said this, Song Chaofeng's eyes widened. "Run away? Where do you want to run to? The entire Yanhan Sect knows what kind of temper our master has. Even if we run to the ends of the earth, they will find us."
"Then..." Tao Tao was also a little melancholy. The reason she wanted to fuse with the essence of the Azure Phoenix was simply to refine the spiritual marrow as soon as possible. But now that she had killed the Luo Cuiyu Marrow Bamboo, refining the spiritual marrow seemed to have little meaning.
Thinking of this, she first glanced at Bai Yan, then whispered, "Should I go apologize to my master?"
"Are you out of your mind?" Song Chaofeng was so frightened that he quickly stopped him, knowing that this was not a good idea.
"At worst, I'll just give her a piece of fruit."
She brought back a lot of fruits from the divine realm, which are not found in the human world. They are all more precious than Luo Cuiyu Marrow Bamboo.
Song Chaofeng didn't know what fruit she was talking about, and his mouth dropped open in surprise. "Huh?"
"Don't worry, senior brother, I know what I'm doing." Tao Tao patted her chest, looking unusually confident. Song Chaofeng didn't believe her, but since Tao Tao said so, she must have a plan and wouldn't put herself in danger, so he nodded with some doubt.
In the blink of an eye, Tao Tao left the bamboo forest and headed to the place where Gu Hanshuang was in seclusion. He was stopped by the disciples of Cuizhu Peak as soon as he arrived at the gate.
"Our master is in seclusion; unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter."
"Senior brothers, I have something to discuss with our grandmaster."
Tao Tao tried to explain, but the other party wouldn't let her in. This was where their master was in seclusion; how could just anyone enter?
Just as Tao Tao was pestering her relentlessly, Gu Hanshuang's voice broke through the air, "Let her in."
Since even Gu Hanshuang had spoken, the disciples naturally dared not obstruct them any longer. They made way for Tao Tao, who grinned, thanked them, and skipped inside.
As soon as she entered, she was pulled by a force and brought directly to Gu Hanshuang. At this time, Gu Hanshuang was not in seclusion and was pouring tea and drinking it alone. She did not expect Tao Tao to come.
This little guy is quite bold. The first thing he did after the restriction was lifted was to come find her instead of running away. He probably knew that running away would be useless.
"Grandmaster." Tao Tao bowed respectfully, looking extremely well-behaved. It was truly impossible to find fault with her. She was already adorable, and with a soft, cute smile on her face, even if someone was angry, it would completely dispel their anger.
Gu Hanshuang slightly raised her eyes, glanced at her, and coldly asked, "What are you doing here? Did you come here to die because you couldn't make the bamboo shoots grow again?"
"No, no, this disciple is only here to present a treasure."
"Oh?"
Gu Hanshuang was somewhat surprised that she would say that, but what kind of treasure could a Foundation Establishment cultivator like her have?
Seeing that Gu Hanshuang seemed to have taken a little interest, Tao Tao quickly stepped forward and took out a fruit from his storage bracelet. The fruit was emerald green all over, making people's mouths water. In particular, the spiritual power contained in it was really strong. Even Gu Hanshuang had never seen such a spiritual fruit.
"This is..." As an elder of the Annihilation Cold Sect, Gu Hanshuang naturally knew that Tao Tao had been chosen by the True Dragon Ancestor to be taken to the God Realm. She knew that a fruit containing such pure spiritual power should not exist in the human realm.
Gu Hanshuang felt a pang of envy and trembled as she reached out her hand. She couldn't believe that Tao Tao would give her the fruit; it was something she had never even dared to dream of.
"It's called Qinglan Fruit. Ah, cough cough, I heard that eating it can improve one's cultivation level, but since my cultivation level is low, it won't be of any use to me. My master will definitely be able to use it."
Tao Tao cheerfully handed the Qinglan Fruit to Gu Hanshuang. Taking the fruit, Gu Hanshuang unconsciously swallowed hard. "Of course it's useless for you. Don't even mention you, I wouldn't dare take a single bite, lest I explode and die..."
"Does Grandmaster still want it?" Tao Tao asked tentatively. Upon hearing this, Gu Hanshuang quickly stuffed the fruit into her arms and said irritably, "Yes, of course I want it. Even if I can't eat it, just keeping it here and absorbing the spiritual energy inside every day is enough to increase my cultivation level considerably."
Knowing she would definitely accept it, Tao Tao nodded with relief, "That's good."
"You little rascal, you're quite sensible. This is more than enough to counter those spirit bamboos. You can go now. I won't keep you trapped on Green Bamboo Peak anymore, otherwise my senior brother will come looking for me, and I have no time to deal with him."
"Thank you, Master."
Tao Tao quickly bowed, turned around happily and left. After taking a few steps, she suddenly turned back, looked at Gu Hanshuang, and hesitated as if she wanted to say something.
Seeing that she still had something to say, Gu Hanshuang became a little impatient. "Speak quickly if you have something to say, I need to go into seclusion."
"Grandmaster, are you saying that it's more than enough to counter the Spirit Bamboo?"
"Of course, what, you want to take it back?"
The two of them were not on the same page. Gu Hanshuang was afraid that the little guy would go back on his word. After all, the fruit of the God Realm was a treasure among treasures. How could she bear to part with it? But as his elder, she couldn't just openly snatch it. The little guy had an ancestor behind him, and she couldn't afford to offend him.
"No, no, of course not. As long as Master is happy, then this disciple will take his leave."
"Go away, go away, don't bother me unless it's important."
Gu Hanshuang breathed a sigh of relief, waved her long sleeves, and sent Tao Tao out. As soon as they stepped out of the gate, Tao Tao immediately transformed into a small beast and soared into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye, much to the surprise of the disciples at the gate.
"This junior sister Yue is really amazing; even the patriarch personally received her."
“That’s their precious treasure from Immortal Spirit Valley, unlike ours.”
The other sighed softly, with a hint of envy.
Just then, a disciple rushed over, his face extremely pale. Before the two disciples at the door could speak, he hurriedly said, "I need to see my master! All of her Luo Cui Yu Sui Zhu bamboo has died of bitterness!"
"What!?"
This was quite a problem. The two disciples didn't dare to stop her and let her in. Gu Hanshuang was just about to sit down to meditate when she heard someone coming. So she scolded, "Didn't I tell you not to bother me if you have nothing to do? What, you don't even listen to me anymore?"
Her anger caused several disciples to feel a sharp pain in their internal organs, and they collapsed to their knees, their faces ashen and their voices extremely weak, "Please forgive us, Grandmaster. We really have something to report, otherwise how could we dare to disturb you?"
"Get out! I don't want to hear anything today!"
With a burst of violent force, the disciple was blasted away. The other two disciples were drenched in sweat and dared not utter another word.
