The dazzling golden light shot straight up, brilliantly glowing, almost blinding Gu Yuan’s eyes with its intense brightness.
A golden legend!
Gu Yuan never expected that just a slight turn of his head would reveal such a magnificent scene.
Pure golden specks, without a trace of impurity, quietly suspended in the depths of the Great River, carrying a peculiar charm.
"There are golden specks!"
"This is an opportunity to defy the heavens and change fate!"
Gu Yuan couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.
He sought refuge, joined the Daoist School of the South Mountain Domain, and formed bonds with a Golden Core Ascendant, but it was just silver tinged with a hint of gold. Yet here, a pure golden opportunity lay before him—what kind of fortune could this be?
Could it be, directly benefiting from the Daoist Embryo and joining the Daoist Embryo Sect as a Direct Disciple?
Or is there a unique treasure or Immortal Seal that can defy the heavens?
Thoughts surged in Gu Yuan’s mind, his imagination running wild.
He hadn’t lost control of his heart and spirit like this in a long time.
After taking several deep breaths, Gu Yuan finally calmed his turbulent emotions and then frowned.
"The location of the golden opportunity... seems too deep?"
Although Cloud Cliff Shell Field borders the Nine Rivers Marsh, it is also a vast area in itself. In Gu Yuan’s sight, this golden speck was hidden extremely deep, seemingly penetrating the ground and delving into the earth’s depths.
The distance is indeed far-reaching.
Gu Yuan silently speculated, and an ominous feeling arose in his heart.
"It seems to have passed through the Shell Field, now in the water vein’s depths?"
If it were just within the Shell Field, Gu Yuan might still have a chance. But if it’s in the depths of the water vein, even the water pressure alone could crush a Qi Refining Cultivator; it is not an area ordinary people can enter.
"Hoo!"
Gu Yuan exhaled deeply, suppressing his anxiety, and continued to observe.
Within the Shell Field, there were numerous white specks of light, and the deeper it went, the brighter the specks became.
Among the countless white specks, there were also hints of azure light, very striking.
Gu Yuan knew these were the pearls that could enhance cultivation.
In the Shell Field, ordinary pearls could enhance a month’s worth of cultivation, hence they were white, while the King Pearl, capable of realm-breaking, was azure.
But soon, Gu Yuan made a new discovery.
Among the myriad specks of light, there was a silver glint, dazzlingly vibrant, showing a mystical hue.
Although all the specks were suppressed by the brilliant golden light, this silver light still captivated the heart and spirit.
"There is actually a half-silver speck?!"
"Is the Shell Field so abundant with opportunities?"
Looking at the scene before him, Gu Yuan couldn’t help but murmur to himself.
So rare, for both golden and silver opportunities to appear together.
"Hoo!"
As the effects of the Stone Liquid faded, the world before Gu Yuan’s eyes returned to normal, and the distant Great Marsh and Great River were invisible to the naked eye.
Yet the dazzling scenery just witnessed lingered in his mind.
If it were ordinary white or azure opportunities, Gu Yuan would surely stay on the mountain to cultivate, as it was more stable.
But for such an opportunity, how could he not go and see?
"No need to say more, Cloud Cliff Shell Field, here I come!"
Gu Yuan made up his mind, without hesitation, mounted the Cloud-Stepping Shuttle, and once again returned to the Hidden Flood Dragon Hall, leaving his name on the Red Gold Jade Register.
...
...
Three days passed in a flash.
In the Cave Mansion on Bailu Island, Gu Yuan sat cross-legged, in front of him were two copper furnaces.
One furnace emitted a fragrant aroma, with steaming hot, creamy-white fish soup that was visually and aromatically appealing, making one’s mouth water.
In the other copper furnace, gray-white powder accompanied by black Evil Qi bubbled and rolled, emitting a pungent smell.
"Glug, glug, glug!"
With a pale, balanced hand infused with Spiritual Qi, he grasped the delicious fish soup, drinking it down in one go.
The fish meat was like water, melting in the mouth, without a single bone, the scalding, delectable broth transformed into flowing mana within the Dantian, Gu Yuan’s face flushed red, and after a long time, he regained his composure.
"Senior Brother Ding is indeed generous; these three Silverfish, all of high grade, equal two months of arduous cultivation."
Feeling the surging mana within, Gu Yuan couldn’t help but smile.
