CHAPTER 191: CHAPTER 108: THE ELUSIVE GAO XUAN (6K)_2

Zhou Qing shook his head, "Nothing much."

Then the two of them headed towards the Golden Sun Peak...

At noon, the Golden Sun Peak was bathed in scorching sunlight, with golden rays spilling over the peak, wrapping it in a brilliant armor.

When people heard that Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu from the Little Spirit Peak had come to visit, everyone was astonished.

Wasn’t he supposed to be at home recovering from his injuries? What is he doing here now?

Golden Sun Peak core disciples Du Kui and Luo Xue hurried over at once when they heard the news.

When they saw that it really was Zhou Qing, they were even more surprised.

After all, just yesterday when they visited him, Yan Xiaohu was carrying him on his back.

"Junior Brother Zhou, what brings you here so suddenly?" Du Kui and Luo Xue asked with concern as they approached him.

Zhou Qing felt genuine gratitude towards them; last time when they went out to look for the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect disciples, it was the two of them who arrived first and saved him and Lu Yaoyao.

Zhou Qing smiled, "The house felt a bit stuffy, so I thought I’d come out for a walk. I still remember last time I was here, Senior Brother and Senior Sister gave me some Thunder-Invoking Talismans."

Du Kui’s expression became complicated upon hearing this.

Indeed, the world is unpredictable.

Yan Xiaohu then added with a smile, "After so many years, there are few visits between the disciples of each peak. Since we had some free time, we thought of bringing Junior Brother Zhou to the Golden Sun Peak to take a look at the scenery. I hope Senior Brother Du and Senior Sister Luo don’t mind?"

The two of them smiled.

"It’s no trouble at all. But Junior Sister Luo is a bit busy, so I’ll be your guide!" Du Kui said.

The two of them expressed their thanks.

Luo Xue felt a bit embarrassed, "You guys go ahead and look around. I still need to visit the Divine Peak to deliver the runes needed by the Exchange Hall."

"It’s fine, Senior Sister, go ahead!" They cupped their hands in salute.

After Luo Xue left, Du Kui began, "Actually, each peak’s overall situation is quite similar, only the names and environments differ. Besides the main peak, our Golden Sun Peak has seventy-nine other peaks, home to varying numbers of True Inheritors and Inner Sect Disciples. As for the Outer Sect Disciples, they stay at the foot of the mountain..."

Then, Yan Xiaohu slowly pushed the wheelchair, while Du Kui walked ahead, proudly explaining.

Zhou Qing listened attentively, finding this a rare learning opportunity.

Du Kui also mentioned that the Peak Master of Golden Sun Peak, Gao Xuan, had five core disciples in total. Besides Du Kui and Luo Xue, there were three others who were rarely at home because they were either out training or had taken on tasks from the Task Hall.

Du Kui soon seemed to think of something and led Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu directly to another peak. It was the blooming season of the Spirit Flame Flowers, unique to the Golden Sun Peak, and the vast flower sea was breathtakingly beautiful, with a scent in the air that was rejuvenating, sure to lift anyone’s spirits.

One couldn’t help but be completely immersed in the flower sea, which had significant healing properties.

"By the way, is that Master Gao’s palace?" Zhou Qing, sitting in his wheelchair, pointed at the mountain top of the main peak.

Du Kui nodded, "Yes, that’s where my master cultivates and rests."

Zhou Qing was full of curiosity, "I heard that the Thunder-Invoking Talisman was created by Master Gao himself. It must be incredibly difficult to draw. Last time he gave me ten of them for free, I feel a bit embarrassed thinking about it."

Hearing this, Du Kui instinctively looked at Yan Xiaohu.

This thick-skinned guy almost tricked him into giving him two Explosive Flame Talismans.

Meeting Du Kui’s gaze, Yan Xiaohu couldn’t help but cough lightly, immediately turning awkwardly to look at the flower sea.

Zhou Qing said seriously, "Senior Brother Du, I heard that when the Resurrection Array was activated this time, Master Gao also exhausted himself to save me. Now that I’m here, I want to express my gratitude to him in person."

Du Kui smiled, "There’s no need to thank him. That night, other peak’s masters and uncle-masters also participated, so don’t worry about it."

"I still want to thank Master Gao in person for saving my life!" Zhou Qing said with gratitude.

Du Kui had no choice but to nod. His eyes fell on Zhou Qing in the wheelchair, filled with emotion.

It seems everyone hadn’t deeply understood Junior Brother Zhou before. A person so grateful and yet met with such a calamity - it is truly a pity.

Now, all the Peak Masters have learned the whole story from Uncle-Master Mo.

This time, Junior Brother Zhou merely accompanied Yan Xiaohu to Lingyun Mansion to seek a Nascent Soul Formation Pill and happened to come across the Soul Breath Immortal Grass, a very fortunate find. No one knows where he got the money to buy it.

Afterward, Qian Dafu grew greedy and, along with a mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivator named Ghost Daoist, ambushed Zhou Qing, leading to the destruction of his Golden Core.

A completely undeserved disaster.

However, no one expected that Junior Brother Zhou would actually break through to the Golden Core Realm, which is truly incredible.

Before, everyone focused on his "peeping tom" incident and completely overlooked his cultivation.

The three of them soon reached the peak, were announced, and entered.

The interior of the hall was unique, with rows upon rows of wooden shelves full of various books, and the air was filled with an increasingly rich scent of books.

At this time, Gao Xuan was reading a book. Seeing Zhou Qing being wheeled in, he revealed a warm smile.

"You kid, after just one day of rest, you’re running around already. Youth truly is great, so much energy!" Gao Xuan joked with a laugh.

Zhou Qing slowly stood up, saluted with Yan Xiaohu, "Greetings, Master Gao!"

Gao Xuan slightly raised his hand, and a gentle force slowly let him sit back down.

"No need for formalities. I heard from Du Kui you want to thank me? What gift did you bring me?" Gao Xuan said with a smile.
