Sooner or later, I'll catch you for a mount!

Li Shi'an felt reassured and laughed, "It's just a child who's a little over a year old; it won't cost much."

The three chatted for a while longer before Li Shi'an and Ji Dai got up to take their leave, saying they were going down the mountain to handle various matters and that the Exotic Object collected in the storehouse would be delivered as soon as possible. They would return to the Mountain three days.

This time, when the two of them descended the mountain, Gu Yuanqing did not use Spatial Method again, but Front Mountain path on his own.

Looking at North Spring Mountain, which was noticeably larger than before, Li Shi'an was amazed. It was truly astonishing that a mountain could grow so large without harming anything within Mountain.

Upon arriving outside the mountain, Ji Dai cupped his hands and said, "Your Prince, we are truly fortunate to have had the opportunity to cultivate in the Mountain this time."

Li Shi'an laughed and said, "This is just your opportunity; there's no need to thank me."

Ji Dai said, "When you mentioned the Spirit Spring earlier, I could tell from Young Master Gu's expression that he was worried for you. I wonder which junior member of your Li Family is worth you bringing this up at this time?"

Li Shi'an smiled but did not answer directly, "We must find a good future for the descendants of the Great Qian Creation."

He glanced back at North Spring Mountain, thinking to himself, "The Emperor still hasn't made up his mind whether to tell Gu Yuanqing about this. We can't let this delay the child's cultivation, lest Gu Yuanqing hold a grudge if this matter is exposed later."

Thinking of this, he let out a soft sigh.

Ji Dai, "Today is an incredibly good day for your Great Qian Heaven, so why are you sighing?"

Li Shi'an laughed loudly, "Brother Ji is right. I am preparing to return to the Imperial Dynasty immediately. Would you like to come with me?"

Ji Dai waved his hand and said, "Forget it, what would I do there? I'd rather stay here at the foot of the mountain and wait for you to come."

Gu Yuanqing's decision stirred up another undercurrent within the Great Qian.

Entering the mountains to cultivate oneself is considered Immortal Destiny to become an immortal, and there is fierce competition and infighting within the Imperial Family for this position. People outside the Imperial Family also rush to the palace upon hearing the news.

Even the emperor had to balance these relationships.

Li Shi'an and Li Haotian stayed in the study, and all the people in the palace were dismissed. Only Xu Lianying stood guard outside the door to prevent anyone from disturbing them.

"Your Majesty, what are your plans regarding Chengyi? Gu Yuanqing's cultivation is becoming increasingly profound. If this matter is not handled properly, there may be hidden dangers in the future."

Li Haotian smiled wryly and said, "Grand Uncle, let me think about it some more. Besides, Chengyi is still young, and Gu Yuanqing is all alone on the mountain. He won't be able to take care of the child. We can't just send the child up the mountain now, can we? Since you got the Spirit Spring Water from him, it won't delay the child's cultivation. Let's wait a little longer."

Li Haotian was truly unwilling to change the child's surname to Gu, and even less willing to hand him over to Gu Yuanqing. After Li Miaoxuan left, this was his only direct bloodline, and he did indeed have the idea of entrusting the Li Family's empire to her.

However, as Gu Yuanqing's cultivation level increased, he began to have some doubts. The path of Immortal Path and longevity was obviously a better future than the throne of a secular Imperial Dynasty.

"Forget it, I won't try to persuade you. Think about it carefully yourself, and don't let this make things awkward for everyone in the end."

Li Haotian snorted coldly, "So what if I don't tell him? This is Miaoxuan's child. He's just a kid... what does it have to do with him? Even if his cultivation is high, what can he do? Can he kill me?"

After arranging the work of forging the Divine Platform, Gu Yuanqing felt much more at ease and resumed his focus on cultivation.

However, at this moment, his comprehension of the Physical Body, spirit, and Dao Resonance has reached a bottleneck, and he can no longer make rapid progress as usual. Instead, he needs time to hone his skills to the point of Perfection.

His daily practice schedule became regular again.

Morning exercise not only strengthens the body through martial arts practice, but also brings a better harmony between Vital Essence, and vitality.

Then, at sunrise, one absorbs the energy of Heaven and Earth, seeking the dynamic Qi of Yin-Yang.

In the morning, one studies classical texts or enters the Spiritual Mountain Trial, deducing the changes in Cultivation Method. Afterwards, one will take a walk in the Mountain, personally interacting with all things in the Spirit Mountain to cultivate one's mind and character.

In the afternoon, I put the long-dormant Heavenly Fishing Method back on the agenda. While fishing, I sensed the changes in my true Primordial Spirit thoughts under the Heavenly Fishing Empowerment, and comprehended the Dao Resonance mysteries of the changes in the Xuanji.

At night, he would often immerse himself in the Mountain Observation, contemplating the Dao Resonance of all things, and at the same time, he would be empowered by the Empowerment to control Object Control, experiencing the application of the Tao.

Around midnight, one would begin to practice the Cultivation Method, sinking into the Dao Embryo to internally sense the Dao Resonance within oneself, transforming the insights gained during the day into one's own Dao practice.

Three days later, Li Shi'an returned, bringing with him the materials for Divine Casting Platform from the Inner Treasury of the Great Qian Dynasty. He also presented a list of those who intended to enter the mountains for cultivation, asking if it would be possible to change the personnel every six months or a year.

Gu Yuanqing only glanced at the list and saw that Li Changyan, Zhang Zhuo and others were listed, as well as two members of the Gu Family, including Gu Yuanying.

He nodded and smiled, "I'll only be responsible for the 100 spots; as for the rest, you can arrange them yourself, senior."

Li Shi'an also brought some Jade Stone, most of which had already been carved into artifacts.

With a thought, Gu Yuanqing sent a stream of water flying through the air from the Spirit Pool and into the various objects. Then, Gu Yuanqing made a hand seal, and the objects floated into the air. He created countless afterimages that appeared beside these objects.

Even with his eyes wide open and his Divine Sense activated, Li Shi'an could not see Gu Yuanqing's true location.

In a short time, one seal after another sealed the Spirit Spring Water within the artifact.

With a thought, Gu Yuanqing caused the containers filled with Spirit Water to land smoothly on the ground.

He then extracted a portion of the Spirit Spring Foundation Water, sealed it in Jade Bottle, and handed it to Li Shi'an, saying with a smile, "These are the things I promised; please take them back, Senior."

Li Shi'an thanked him with a broad smile and took his leave.

Along with them up the mountain were some eunuchs from the Great Qian, each with a cultivation level of at least the Profound Martial Middle Rank. These people carefully packed away the items.

He then used his True Qi to protect himself and followed Li Shi'an down the mountain.

A few days later, the Minister of Ministry of Works of the Great Qian Dynasty personally came here, bringing with him a master craftsman who was well-versed in feng shui and construction to plan and build the site at the foot of the mountain.

The goal is to make these buildings as perfectly arranged as possible so as not to detract from the beautiful Mountain scenery.

A few days later, the craftsmen entered, and the area at the foot of North Spring Mountain suddenly became lively.

Of course, all of these measures were approved by Gu Yuanqing.

In less than a month, the area at the foot of North Spring Mountain had undergone a dramatic transformation.

Afterwards, a group of cultivators arrived at North Spring Mountain North Spring Mountain. Before entering the mountain, they bowed to it together.

Gu Yuanqing glanced at them and found that most of these people were at the Profound Martial Middle Rank Realm, nearing a breakthrough, and held high positions in the Great Qian Dynasty.

I've seen many of the other younger generation before; they were all people who rose to fame in the capital and were exceptionally talented.

The other member of the Gu Family was also a junior, named Gu Yuanfeng. He was a direct descendant of the Gu Family and his relationship with Gu Yuanqing was not particularly good, but it was still fairly good.

Gu Yuanqing had no intention of coming down the mountain to meet them; ultimately, he didn't feel much of a sense of belonging to the Gu Family.

Gu Yuanying's qualifications should not be among these categories. She is only here because she is closest to Gu Yuanqing, and her wedding with Li Changyan is approaching. She probably won't stay at the foot of North Spring Mountain for long.

At this time, North Spring Mountain was a thousand feet high, and could be called a majestic Great Mountain. The Motion and Stillness at the foot of the mountain could not be heard on the mountain.

Gu Yuanqing only glanced at it before turning his attention back to his cultivation.

He sat on the Cliff, fishing, when he suddenly turned his head and glanced at something, not the Floating World, but the Demon Realm.

The newcomer was Heavenly Micro Divine General of the Heavenly Human Sacred Hall. He stared in astonishment at the vanished North Spring Mountain, then released his Divine Sense to investigate before departing in a flash of light, still puzzled.

Gu Yuanqing smiled wryly, feeling that the best thing he had done was to hide North Spring Mountain in the Void, which saved him countless troubles.

The Demon Realm Human Celestial Person dared not trespass into the territory of the Iron-Eating Tribe, and the Void Heaven Realm couldn't find him at all, so North Spring Mountain finally settled down.

As he was thinking about something, he suddenly felt the Fishing Line sink, and an invisible force struck his Divine Sense. The Fishing Line snapped again, and the Fishing Bait fell into the mouth of a Unicorn Beast with wings on its back.

Gu Yuanqing's remaining Divine Sense could still see it squinting its eyes after eating the bait formed from the Dao Resonance, looking quite pleased with itself, and he couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

At this moment, the strength of his Fishing Line was incomparable to that of before. Gu Yuanqing believed that even Divine Platform Realm could not easily cut it, yet he was still helpless against the Strange Beast. His strength was extraordinary, at least at the Void Heaven Realm.

This creature's origins are unknown, but it moves incredibly fast, seemingly able to travel through the air. It's truly mystical, and it always finds you when you're fishing.

At first, Gu Yuanqing was a little annoyed, but now he's used to it and looks at the Strange Beast like he's looking at his own pet.

"Keep eating, keep eating. One day I'll capture you and use you as my mount."

Gu Yuanqing changed his fishing spot again, but this time, not long after, he saw a Ape clad in Battle Armor and wreathed in Demonic Flame suddenly appear in front of his Fishing Line.

It reached out and grabbed the Fishing Line. With a forceful pull, Gu Yuanqing felt an overwhelming force. Even with the Empowerment of the Green Mountain, he was almost pulled headfirst and fell off.

Before the Fishing Line snapped, a force traveled along Fishing Line, piercing through the Void, but it was quickly extinguished by the ethereal Cloudmist.

"Heavenly Human Great Demon!"

Gu Yuanqing was startled. He had fought against Cultivator in the Void Heaven Realm and had some understanding of the Void Heaven Realm. This Ape's aura and strength were clearly above that of the Void Heaven Realm.

"Judging from its shape, it should be a member of the Demon Ape Clan! Fortunately, the Cloudmist formed by the Rules North Spring Mountain can prevent the aura of the Demon Realm from entering. Otherwise, if that power had followed my True Essence, I would have suffered a great loss. If I had really been pulled into the Demon Realm..."

Thinking of this, Gu Yuanqing felt a chill run down his spine. It seemed that his previous fishing trips had gone too smoothly, and this time he almost got into trouble.

He put down his Fishing Rod, stood up, and suddenly remembered the few Spirituality prey he had caught at the beginning, and rolled them up from the Heaven and Earth Pool.

A small fish left the pool and transformed into a snow-white Little Fox, falling into Gu Yuanqing's hands.

Gu Yuanqing held it by the scruff of its neck and examined it closely. He saw that the Demonic Qi in its body had completely disappeared, its blood-red eyes had turned golden, its vertical pupils had turned black, and its fur was very soft and felt very comfortable to touch.

Its eyes were somewhat panicked, and its gaze towards Gu Yuanqing held a hint of fear. Then it opened its mouth and made a threatening sound.

It's so small, its canine teeth haven't even grown in yet, so it doesn't look intimidating at all.

"It looks much more comfortable this way than before."

Gu Yuanqing wore a smile, but inwardly he wondered, "Could this fox be a Celestial Fox Clan? Should I kill it to prevent future trouble?"

Perhaps sensing Gu Yuanqing's sudden murderous intent, the Little Fox became even more panicked, whimpering as if begging for mercy, displaying remarkable Spirituality.
