Refining Pills on Dragon Island; The Fire Spirit's Advantage

"Senior Xiao Xuan, thank you for looking after me these past few months. Xun'er takes her leave..."

At this moment, Gu Xun'er's pretty face bore a heartfelt smile, like spring flowers blooming, carrying a touch of relief and a touch of joy.

For no other reason than the item inside her Storage Ring...

"No need for formalities."

Xiao Xuan smiled gently. His gaze fell upon Gu Xun'er as though he were looking at a junior he found satisfactory. "I hope you have not forgotten our agreement."

"Please rest assured, Senior!" Seemingly understanding the meaning behind Xiao Xuan's words, a bashful flush also rose on Gu Xun'er's exquisite cheeks.

She lowered her head slightly, her voice soft yet resolute. "I will certainly deliver it safely!"

"Good!"

Xiao Xuan nodded, then said, "Pass a message to Gu Yuan for me. When the Heavenly Tomb opens eight years from now, I want to see a Xiao Clan junior there. That little fellow called Xiao Yan will do!"

"Yes." Gu Xun'er hurriedly nodded, though joy welled up within her heart.

Undisguised appreciation appeared in Xiao Xuan's eyes as he looked Gu Xun'er over. "Though you are only a Three-Star Dou Zong now, do not be impatient in your cultivation. You must advance steadily. Compared to raising your cultivation, nurturing your bloodline is your foremost priority."

He paused, his tone carrying a trace of instruction. "As descendants of the Dou Di Bloodline, we have ample time to cultivate. The power of our bloodline is the foundation of our cultivation. If the foundation is unstable, then even the highest cultivation is merely a castle in the air. You must not neglect it!"

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior!" Gu Xun'er nodded lightly and solemnly clasped her hands in a bow.

"Alright, the time is nearly up.
