Red Packet Drop! Taishang Bestows Treasure, Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir!

After thinking for a moment, Qin Mu looked at the two fierce but adorable little acolytes with an amused expression.

"Hm?"

Seeing this, Golden Horn Boy lifted his chin and said, "What are you looking at! We two are the acolytes under Lord Taishang's seat!"

Before Qin Mu could respond, Silver Horn Boy added, "If you know what's good for you, state your name quickly!"

Qin Mu held back a laugh and replied, "Oh? Then do you know who I am?"

Hearing this, Golden Horn Boy and Silver Horn Boy exchanged a glance.

Then, Silver Horn Boy spoke first: "Who cares who you are! Without the Lord's permission, no one gets in! Hurry up and say—who are you?"

Qin Mu stopped teasing the two little boys and revealed his identity: "I am the senior disciple under the Three Pure Ones, the great disciple of Shangqing Tongtian—Qin Mu!"

Upon hearing Qin Mu's words, Golden Horn and Silver Horn were taken aback.

"The Three Pure Ones are taking disciples?"

"The great disciple of Shangqing Tongtian?"

"If that's the case, doesn't that make him Senior Uncle-Master's nephew?"

Silver Horn Boy exclaimed in surprise, unable to help taking a few more looks at Qin Mu.

At the same time, Golden Horn Boy said, "You say it, so it's true? Words are empty—why should we believe you?"

Silver Horn Boy nodded repeatedly upon hearing this and chimed in, "That's right, do you have proof?"

Qin Mu was caught off guard by Golden Horn Boy and Silver Horn Boy's sudden challenge.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from within Shouyang Mountain: "Golden Horn, Silver Horn, don't be rude! Qin Mu is here—come on up!"

Hearing this voice, Qin Mu quickly bowed slightly toward Shouyang Mountain and replied, "Yes, Senior Uncle-Master!"

With that, he glanced at Golden Horn and Silver Horn and said with a smile, "Believe me now?"

Hearing this, Golden Horn and Silver Horn both pouted in unison.

Qin Mu didn't mind and proceeded straight up the mountain.

Even though Taishang had already given the order for Qin Mu to ascend, the two little ones, Golden Horn and Silver Horn, were still uneasy.

They flanked Qin Mu left and right, their eyes darting around.

Their expressions made it look like they were afraid Qin Mu might do something untoward inside Shouyang Mountain.

"Hey, don't go wandering off!"

"Shouyang Mountain isn't a place just anyone can stroll around!"

As they walked, Golden Horn Boy put his hands on his hips, acting like a little adult.

Silver Horn nodded in agreement: "That's right, that's right! Last time, a demon sneaked in trying to steal the immortal herbs on the mountain, and Lord Taishang sent it flying to the East Sea with a single slap!"

Qin Mu couldn't help but chuckle at this and deliberately teased the two little boys: "Then you'd better keep a close eye on me! What if I steal Senior Uncle-Master's pills?"

Golden Horn Boy's eyes went wide at Qin Mu's words, and he scolded, "You wouldn't dare!"

Silver Horn Boy stared at Qin Mu nervously, not blinking, as if to keep him under tight watch.

Seeing the two little boys' expressions, Qin Mu was thoroughly amused and continued forward with a hearty laugh.

He had barely walked any distance when the system prompt suddenly rang out in Qin Mu's mind:

[Ding!]

[Top-tier blessed land discovered: Shouyang Mountain.]

[Red packet dropped.]

[Proceed to collect?]

"Proceed!"

Hearing the system prompt, joy surged in Qin Mu's heart.

After leaving Kunlun Mountain, he hadn't headed straight for Jin'ao Island in the East Sea; instead, he chose to visit Shouyang Mountain to pay respects to Taishang.

He was here precisely for the dropped red packet.

"I wonder what kind of red packet will drop?"

Qin Mu anticipated silently, while also noticing that the drop location was right on the mountain.

Before long, accompanied by Golden Horn Boy and Silver Horn Boy, Qin Mu had already reached the mountainside.

From a distance, he spotted a large red packet floating atop a rocky outcrop not far away.

[Ding!]

[One large red packet detected.]

[Collect?]

With the system's prompt, Qin Mu didn't overthink it and directly chose to collect.

"It's actually a large red packet!"

Earlier on the road, he had been wondering what kind of red packet he would obtain on Shouyang Mountain.

Originally, Qin Mu thought a medium red packet would be decent enough.

He never expected a large one.

After all, the rarer the red packet, the better the reward.

Previously, at Heaven Pillar Summit on Buzhou Mountain, he had collected a large red packet.

Upon opening it, he not only gained a million years of cultivation power but also obtained the "Lin Zi Secret," one of the Nine Secrets.

It was a truly bountiful harvest!

Qin Mu didn't rush to open the large red packet; instead, he chose to first pay his respects to Taishang.

Soon, he arrived at Taishang's meditation site.

Focusing his gaze, he saw Taishang seated beneath an ancient pine tree, his entire being radiating Daoist rhythm, appearing as if merged with heaven and earth.

Seeing Taishang, Qin Mu quickly bowed with reverence:

"Disciple Qin Mu pays respects to Senior Uncle-Master."

Hearing this, Taishang nodded slightly, his gaze lingering on Qin Mu for a moment before he said calmly:

"Mm, not bad."

"Having wandered and trained in the outside world these past years, your cultivation has advanced considerably—you've already reached the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level."

"Your foundation is solid, your Dao heart clear and bright."

Though Taishang's tone was flat, it wasn't hard to hear the satisfaction in his words toward Qin Mu.

"Senior Uncle-Master, this disciple merely encountered a small stroke of fortune outside," Qin Mu replied humbly.

Taishang didn't dwell on it and shifted the topic:

"You've been to Kunlun Mountain?"

Qin Mu nodded and softly acknowledged:

"Yes, disciple has just come from Kunlun Mountain."

"I originally intended to go directly to Jin'ao Island to pay respects to my master, but I thought since it had been so long since I last saw Senior Uncle-Master, it was only proper to come and offer my greetings."

Hearing Qin Mu's answer, a glint of approval flashed in Taishang's eyes. He smiled slightly and said:

"You are thoughtful indeed."

With that, Taishang swept his wide sleeve, and a beam of golden light flew straight down to land before Qin Mu.

Looking closely, Qin Mu saw that within the swirling golden radiance floated a round, lustrous elixir.

"This is the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir. I have refined three in total. This one I bestow upon you—it will aid your current cultivation."

Qin Mu's heart trembled with shock upon hearing this.

"It's actually the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir!"

Others might not know, but Qin Mu understood all too well.

The Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir represents the highest level of Taishang's alchemy.

Beyond that, the refining process of this elixir is extremely complex and arduous, requiring Taishang to invest a vast amount of time and energy.

And refining the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir must go through nine rounds of extraction, each one demanding precise control of heat and timing.

With the slightest mistake, all previous efforts would be wasted.

Of course, the effects of the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir are nothing short of heaven-defying.

For ordinary living beings, a single Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir can achieve immortality, ascend with rosy clouds, and enter the ranks of Immortals and Gods.

For cultivators like Qin Mu, who have already achieved success in the Dao, the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir can further elevate their cultivation and even help break through cultivation bottlenecks.

Qin Mu never expected that Taishang would be so generous as to gift him the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir.

"Thank you, Senior Uncle-Master!"

Shocked, Qin Mu quickly accepted the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir.

Taishang's gaze remained as usual, and he asked again:

"In your cultivation, are there any doubts?"

Hearing this, Qin Mu nodded lightly, naturally not letting this opportunity slip.

Next, he asked Taishang, raising some perplexing problems that had troubled him for a long time.

After hearing them, Taishang answered Qin Mu one by one.

His words were concise yet struck directly at the essence of the Great Dao.

Time flew like a shuttle, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred years had passed.
