Three Pure Ones Dote Excessively, Qingqing Loves Excessively

"Here, Qingqing, your Chaos Gourd. Your Second Master refined it in full according to our agreement."

Having just left Penglai Island, Zhou Qingqing saw her Second Master casually toss over the fully refined Chaos Gourd, without withholding anything.

"Thank you, Second Master."

Zhou Qingqing's eyes brimmed with tears.

Conscientious masters like this were truly too rare. As expected, her Second Master had not touched anything inside the gourd.

Jade Pure Yuanshi's eyelid twitched.

Since all three brothers could hear Qingqing's thoughts, he did want to see what was on Penglai Island, Fangzhang Island, and Yingzhou Island.

But if he truly dared to do that—

His eldest brother and third brother's spittle would surely drown him.

Even if he wanted to, he absolutely did not dare.

Moreover, he was inherently the best master to his disciples, something Zhou Qingqing herself had personally certified. He would never do anything that would damage his divine reputation.

After receiving the gourd, Zhou Qingqing immediately began refining the Chaos Gourd.

Unlike Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures such as the Western Plain White Cloud Boundary Flag and the Eastern Azure Lotus Precious Color Banner, which shared the same origin as her and only needed to be refined a little to feel naturally assimilated, this Chaos Gourd had ultimately been plucked from the Innate Gourd Vine and required her to circulate her primordial spirit and refine it properly.

With nothing else to do, she calmed her mind and began refining the Chaos Gourd.

Just as I expected, the Yellow Center Plum is inside the Chaos Gourd too. Once we return to Eastern Kunlun, I'll plant it beside me.

A Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Root of the Primordial World like the Yellow Center Plum was unlike ordinary spiritual roots and could not remain inside the Chaos Gourd forever.

Naturally, Zhou Qingqing intended to take it out and transplant it onto Mount Kunlun as well.

Hearing that Zhou Qingqing's first thought upon waking was to transplant the Yellow Center Plum to Eastern Kunlun rather than Golden Turtle Island, Jade Pure Yuanshi was so moved he nearly cried.

Refining this gourd for Qingqing had truly not been in vain.

She had thought of her Second Master when it came to the best thing on Penglai Island. The gourd had not been given away for nothing.

He lowered his eyelids.

"Speaking of which, Eastern Duke has reestablished the Purple Mansion Immortal Court. He has calculated well enough."

Supreme Pure Laozi and Upper Pure Tongtian exchanged glances.

They had learned this news while on the road.

Since Jade Pure Yuanshi brought it up now, he was naturally saying it for Zhou Qingqing to hear. They both understood.

Purple Mansion Immortal Court. Eastern Duke sure changes his name often. Second Master even reminded you at the end and wanted you to give up on establishing an Immortal Court. Was Second Master just making eyes at a blind man?

What did she mean, making eyes at a blind man?

Jade Pure Yuanshi's head stiffened slightly.

With his thick brows and large eyes, he could not do something like making eyes at someone.

Still, I thought we were returning to Eastern Kunlun, but the Three Pure Ones Masters directly changed course southward. They're clearly going to help me find the Southern Ground-Severing Flame Light Banner.

Upon hearing about the Purple Mansion Immortal Court, Zhou Qingqing noticed that she and her three masters had not turned back home, but had instead arrived in the southern region.

What else could her three masters be doing in the south? It went without saying.

So this is what it feels like to be the First Disciple being doted on? I really hope this can continue forever. If I could add a time limit to this affection, I hope it would be forever.

Sadly, my hopes are useless. I can only hope the day the Three Pure Ones split up comes later. Just thinking about it makes me a little sad...

Had someone mentioned the Three Pure Ones splitting up when Zhou Qingqing had first transmigrated here, she would have felt nothing, perhaps even found it amusing. She would only have wanted the Calamity to arrive sooner and leave rivers of blood in its wake.

But after spending so much time in the Primordial World and enjoying the treatment of being the First Disciple of the Three Pure Ones, Zhou Qingqing naturally hoped that the day the Three Pure Ones fell apart would come as late as possible.

If she could choose, three times the happiness was naturally better than one.

Listening to Zhou Qingqing's thoughts, Supreme Pure Laozi smoothed his silver hair, Jade Pure Yuanshi adjusted his sleeves, and Upper Pure Tongtian brushed his sword-like brows.

They had now completely grown accustomed to Zhou Qingqing's way of speaking.

Everything began in universal joy.

Everything ended in wistful sorrow.

And she even dealt them a blow to the heart.

Even when Zhou Qingqing made them happy, she never let them be completely joyful. This suspended, unresolved feeling was truly irritating.

Going to the southern Undying Fire Mountain had been Supreme Pure Laozi's decision, and everyone had agreed.

There was still some time before the Purple Cloud Palace's second lecture.

The cultivation of the Three Pure Ones remained at the perfected Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm. Even if they returned to Eastern Kunlun, there would be little room for improvement, so they might as well take this opportunity to gain experience.

Helping their disciple obtain the Southern Ground-Severing Flame Light Banner, which gathered the Five Qi, became one of their objectives.

In any case, even after their cultivation improved, they would still have to go there. Going later was no better than going earlier.

That was why they ultimately changed course southward and arrived at the Undying Fire Mountain range in the south of the Primordial World, as Azure Dragon had described.

Wow, so this is a real volcano range? It's truly spectacular.

It's far more magnificent than that Flame Mountain supposedly formed when Eldest Master's pill furnace fell.

Supreme Pure Laozi felt slightly depressed.

When had his pill furnace ever fallen and formed Flame Mountain?

At his level of cultivation, how could he possibly let a pill furnace fall? If such a thing truly happened, it would certainly have been intentional.

Yes.

It definitely had nothing to do with him.

If he truly set fire to something, it would at least have to be on the scale of the Undying Fire Mountain range before them.

This southern Undying Fire Mountain was once suppressed by Primal Phoenix. Without that suppression, perhaps the entire south would have become a world of flames.

Hearing Zhou Qingqing mention the Phoenix Clan's chieftain once more, the Three Pure Ones finally stopped communicating through divine sense.

During the Dragon-Han Calamity, Ancestor Dragon, the leader of the strongest Dragon Clan, and the leader of the comparatively weaker Qilin Clan had both died.

The Qilin Cliff formed from the former's body had already been moved by Jade Pure Yuanshi back to his Eastern Kunlun, while Azure Dragon, left behind by the latter, had already been able to honor Tongtian as his superior in exchange for the chance to rise again.

Only Primal Phoenix had continued living.

And the final price she paid was merely suppressing the Undying Fire Mountain.

Compared to the overlords of the other two clans, Primal Phoenix was certainly no simple figure.

It's so hot I could fly. Even though I'm an innate supreme treasure, without the Southern Ground-Severing Flame Light Banner, I can still feel these heat waves.

The three Masters must be careful not to get burned by the flames of the southern Undying Fire Mountain.

The Three Pure Ones froze slightly.

Supreme Pure Laozi decisively brought out the Heaven-and-Earth Mystic Yellow Exquisite Treasure Pagoda.

At that very moment, scorching magma suddenly erupted beside them, and by sheer chance, it was blocked by the Mystic Yellow aura.
