"Seven-Colored Poison Scripture..."

Gu He carefully flipped through the scroll in his hand.

It was a poison scripture dedicated to concocting poisons.

It seemed the owner of this cave's treasure had been a Poison Master.

"Teacher, what are you looking at?"

At that moment, Xiao Yi Xian moved closer to Gu He and curiously looked at the seven-colored scroll in his hand.

Hearing this, Gu He turned to look at Xiao Yi Xian. After hesitating slightly, he smiled and said, "This is a poison scripture that teaches people how to concoct poisons."

"A poison scripture?"

Xiao Yi Xian's eyes lit up as she curiously looked at the seven-colored scroll in Gu He's hand. "Teacher, can I take a look at this poison scripture?"

Gu He smiled faintly and handed the seven-colored scroll to Xiao Yi Xian. "This poison scripture is useless to me. If you want it, it's yours."

"Thank you, Teacher." Xiao Yi Xian narrowed her eyes happily as she took the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture from Gu He.

Gu He smiled without saying anything.

Just then, the system's notification sounded in his mind.

"Ding! Detected that the host has bestowed the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture upon Second Disciple Xiao Yi Xian. Congratulations, the Ten Thousandfold Return has been triggered. You have obtained the Myriad Poison True Scripture!" "The Myriad Poison True Scripture has been distributed to the System Space. Please check and claim it."

Hearing the notification in his mind, Gu He was briefly stunned before frowning slightly.

This could trigger the system's return mechanism too?

Could the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture be considered his possession as well?

To be honest, Gu He had no interest in concocting poisons.

Triggering the system's return mechanism this time had been a bit of a loss.

But now that it had happened, Gu He could do nothing about it.

Watching Xiao Yi Xian happily leaf through the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, Gu He shook his head and opened another treasure chest.

As Gu He's voice fell, the tightly shut stone box slowly opened.

Under the illumination of the Moonlight Stones in the stone chamber, everything inside the box was clearly revealed beneath Gu He's gaze.

"Another scroll?" Gu He raised an eyebrow at the black scroll placed inside the box.

Reaching out to take the black scroll from the box, Gu He examined it closely. At last, his gaze settled on the small words along the side of the scroll. "Mysterious-tier Advanced flying Dou Technique: Eagle's Wings?"

Seeing Gu He open another treasure chest, Xiao Yi Xian curiously came over again and looked at the scroll in his hand. "Teacher, what is this one?"

Gu He explained with a faint smile, "It is a flying Dou Technique."

"A flying Dou Technique? What's that?"

Hearing this name for the first time, Xiao Yi Xian blinked in confusion. She had heard of offensive Dou Techniques, defensive Dou Techniques, movement Dou Techniques, and so on, but this was the first time she had heard of a flying Dou Technique.

"As the name suggests, this Dou Technique allows people to fly through the sky," Gu He continued.

"Fly? Isn't that an ability only Dou Ling experts can barely possess?" Xiao Yi Xian was first startled, then her face filled with confusion.

On the Dou Qi Continent, only experts above the Dou Ling realm could possibly fly for short distances off the ground. Once one reached the Dou Wang or Dou Emperor realm, they could use released Dou Qi to condense a pair of energy wings behind their backs, allowing them to break free of the earth's restraints and soar into the clouds.

This so-called flying Dou Technique was a rather strange secret art. It allowed those who cultivated it to extend two small auxiliary meridians from the channels in their backs. As long as those two auxiliary meridians extended, even if their strength had not reached the Dou Wang level, they could still condense a pair of wings and fly through the air.

Flight was a temptation enough to make countless people's hearts pound. In pursuit of that temptation, many experts rushed forward one after another, striving to break through to the unattainable Dou Wang realm. Under such circumstances, a flying Dou Technique that allowed one to take a shortcut was naturally extraordinarily precious.

"What, do you like it?" Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's curious expression, Gu He smiled and handed her the flying Dou Technique. "Since you like it, I'll give it to you. Consider it the third gift from your teacher."

"Really?" Xiao Yi Xian froze slightly, then excitement appeared on her pretty face.

Ever since she was young, she had envied those birds that could soar freely through the skies.

Now, this flying Dou Technique could give her the ability to fly as well. How could she not be happy?

"It's only a flying Dou Technique. Is it really worth being this happy over?" Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's excitement, Gu He rubbed her little head and smiled. "Cultivate well. In the future, you'll have the ability to fly on your own too."

"Yes, this disciple understands." Xiao Yi Xian nodded repeatedly, though her mind was entirely occupied by the flying Dou Technique in her hands.

Gu He smiled, then opened the final treasure chest.

Inside this final chest was still a scroll.

Upon opening it, Gu He immediately discovered that it was a Mysterious-tier Advanced Dou Technique.

Raging Lion's Chant.

Gu He flipped through the scroll in his hand, but felt no interest in it. He casually stored it in his Storage Ring.

Then Gu He swept his gaze around the cave. Finding nothing else, he said to Xiao Yi Xian.

"Disciple, let's go."

"We're leaving? Oh... alright, wait for me..." Xiao Yi Xian froze for a moment, then tucked the two scrolls under her arm and jogged toward the flower bed.

Soon, Xiao Yi Xian returned with more than a dozen jade bottles in her arms, an excited smile on her pretty face. "Teacher, let's go."

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's arms piled full, with two scrolls still tucked beneath her arm, Gu He's mouth twitched slightly.

Then he smiled helplessly, took out a Storage Ring, and handed it to Xiao Yi Xian. "Look at you, fumbling around like that. Here, put all those things inside."

"This is... a Storage Ring?"

Looking at the Storage Ring in Gu He's hand, Xiao Yi Xian's beautiful eyes lit up. She excitedly accepted it from him.

Storage Rings were extremely valuable items on the Dou Qi Continent.

Even ordinary Da Dou Shi might not possess one.

"Wow, what a huge space!" Xiao Yi Xian sank her consciousness into the Storage Ring and immediately cried out in surprise.

Naturally, the Storage Ring Gu He had given her was no ordinary item.

In fact, with his status as the Dan Emperor, he would not carry ordinary items on him.

Then, with a thought, Xiao Yi Xian stored everything on her person inside the Storage Ring.

"So fun... it's so fun."

Excitement filled Xiao Yi Xian's pretty face as she put the jade bottles into the Storage Ring, then took them back out again, finding it all incredibly novel.

"..."

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian playing happily like a child, Gu He's mouth twitched as he interrupted, "Alright, Disciple, it's time for us to go."

"Oh..." Only then did Xiao Yi Xian stop. She then followed Gu He out of the cave.
