I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 703: Starting Anew

However, no matter how conflicted Gu Yun was, he was still unwilling to accept it.

His presence was insignificant compared to Yunshang, who had just saved the day, not only saving them but also the Little Xuantian Realm and extending its life.

"Everyone, please go back and recover from your injuries. The Demon Realm will not let this go so easily."

"What follows is likely to be a series of fierce battles."

Yunshang gently reminded them, without offering further explanation. After all, these people knew her, and there was no need to say anything irrelevant. She also didn't intend to reveal the origin of the painting. However, the Little Mystic Realm must make preparations to deal with the upcoming crisis.

The invasion of the demon realm is inevitable; driving away a few demon lords is nothing.

At least for the Demon Realm, the Demon Lord could indeed take dozens, hundreds, or even several hundred cultivators whenever he wanted. They weren't exactly cheap, but they were certainly not few either.

The most crucial issue now is the Immortal Realm. They certainly won't sit idly by and let the Demon Realm invade so easily.

Upon hearing this, the group of half-step immortals immediately took their leave.

Unknowingly.

They have already regarded Yunshang as the new leader who will replace Guyun.

"Humph!"

Seeing the group leave, Gu Yun was naturally unhappy, but there was nothing he could do. He could only snort coldly and leave without saying goodbye.

"..."

Yunshang silently watched the direction Gu Yun left in. She didn't care that the old dragon was having an epileptic fit. Qin Yiyao had said more than once that she had to take Gu Yun's life, and she absolutely did not want anyone else to take the initiative to help her avenge the grudge that she should have done herself.

Since that's the case, Yunshang doesn't need to pay attention to the attitude of a dying person.

At most, I'll spit on his corpse after he dies to show my contempt.

If the ancient meteorite had not been reduced to ashes.

……

Qin Yiyao stayed at Gu Heng's place for a week.

She didn't do much this week. Back in Yunling City, Gu Heng ran a clinic, so she, as his apprentice, had some work to do.

But now.

It's fair to say that a life of eating and sleeping all day, chatting and confiding in her master until her mouth was dry, wasn't really suited to her. At first, it was fine, but Qin Yiyao wasn't the type to endure loneliness. Having acquired skills, she felt she had to do something about them, and her master didn't object; he always said, "With skills, you should do great things..."

Qin Yiyao wasn't sure if he considered her capable.

But anyway.

It's time to go back to being the empress again.

"Oh my, Manager Jin Qian's cooking skills are as good as ever."

In the courtyard, Qin Yiyao patted her belly and laughed.

The master and disciple had just enjoyed a sumptuous meal at an inn, which was their usual practice. Every time they came and left, the master would take her there to eat, as if afraid she would go hungry while she was away...

Older men always show a unique kind of concern from very subtle and strange angles.

"Things aren't very peaceful outside right now, but I don't need to tell you, I'm sure you understand. Also, take this with you."

Gu Heng took a package and handed it to Qin Yiyao.

When she opened the bag, her eyes widened in surprise.

There are four rainbow fruits inside!

It was the fruit of that Seven Realms Sacred Tree, the one that made her strength soar to the Immortal Lord level after she ate just one petal!

She had never heard of such a thing before, nor did she expect that her master would grow such an incredible plant in the courtyard, but Qin Yiyao truly enjoyed the benefits.

When she returned last week, Gu Heng cut a rainbow fruit to share with her, but in the end she ate almost the whole thing.

Qin Yiyao's current strength has broken through to the sixth level of Immortal King!

Eating just one petal would be enough to ascend to heaven on the spot, let alone the whole thing. She dared not even think about it. When she broke through to the Immortal King realm, she didn't cause any unusual phenomena in the heavens and earth. Now she guessed that it might be because of Gu Heng... Perhaps there was some strange power surrounding him that blocked all unusual phenomena.

of course.

Qin Yiyao wasn't sure if her guess was right, but it was definitely related to Gu Heng. She had already broken through to the Immortal King realm, and her power was so strong that even she couldn't imagine it, yet Gu Heng still made her succeed so easily.

"Master, are you planning to give me all these fruits?"

She looked up, her face full of confusion.

What is Master planning to do by entrusting me with such a top-tier natural treasure?

"These fruits are ripe, but I don't want to eat them. However, I can't just leave them hanging on the tree. If they bear fruit but I don't eat them, it's the same as not bearing fruit at all. So I'm leaving them to you to handle."

"You can eat it yourself or share it with acquaintances, it's up to you."

Gu Heng spoke lightly, but Qin Yiyao was utterly shocked. Master must have had ulterior motives!

Could it be that……

Was he planning to make all the cultivators he had connections with quickly become stronger so that they could deal with the invasion of the demon realm?

Although Master spoke lightly and this fruit probably didn't improve him, it was still a top-tier treasure that was almost impossible to find in the Xuan Tian Realm, so Master must know that.

But if she were to handle it like this, Qin Yiyao would definitely think it through more carefully.

Right.

After all, those he was familiar with were all qualified to become stronger, so that they wouldn't be unable to move forward during the invasion of the demon realm.

Qin Yiyao wasn't sure if she was right to interpret her master's intentions this way. It was also possible that he simply thought it wasn't really a family heirloom, so he gave it all to her, whatever.

Based on her understanding of Gu Heng, she felt that either possibility was possible, with the latter being more likely... "Alright, I will not let Master down."

Qin Yiyao put the seven-colored fruit away.

Although there are only four fruits, they can be divided into many portions, and she decides who eats how much.

"By the way, what do you think of the sword I forged for you?"

Gu Heng said.

"This one?"

Qin Yiyao drew her sword; the ice-blue blade gleamed in the sunlight, creating a beautiful, crystalline effect.

"It works well, thank you for the wonderful gift, Master."

She casually twirled her sword a few times, laughing happily.

Xiao Bai personally delivered this sword, and Qin Yiyao fell in love with it the moment she received it.

Not to mention, this is the culmination of Master's "hard work".

"I'm glad you like it. Use it often. I don't put this much effort into forging weapons for myself." Gu Heng was very happy that his work was recognized by his apprentice. Even if the little girl might not be able to use it perfectly, she would still say that just to show her appreciation.

Very good, he, as the master, is very pleased.
