I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

Gu Yuan barely had time to react before he felt a beam of golden light swiftly enter his dantian.

”Rustle!”

The mana moved automatically despite Gu Yuan’s lack of control, rushing madly toward the Golden Seal, striving to refine it.

Everything fell into place smoothly.

The Golden Seal carried its own mysteries, and with Gu Yuan’s blood drop imprinting it and reciting a spell, this seal completely belonged to him. Unless he died, no one could take it away from him.

A cool feeling reverberated within his body, and a sense of wonder surged in Gu Yuan’s heart.

The world before him remained unchanged, yet in Gu Yuan’s eyes, everything seemed clearer.

An inexplicable, profound sense of enlightenment seemed to fill his mind.

Gu Yuan closed his eyes for introspection, feeling that the Dharma Seal he had forged before was too crude, the Dao Patterns not smoothly delineated. If he were to try again, he could succeed instantly even without the Shadow Wall Stone.

Such a Qi Refining Stage Dharma Seal, what difficulty is there?

”Three hearts, one thought, break illusions and gain clarity!”

”With this Golden Seal, from this day forth, I too shall be among the ranks of geniuses...”

Sensing the extraordinary power within the Golden Seal, constantly improving his aptitude, Gu Yuan couldn’t help but open his eyes, revealing a look of joy.

Root Bone and insight are the most important supports on the path of cultivation.

Though he had previously caught up on the gap in aptitude through a wealth of resources, progressing rapidly in his cultivation, the later stages require much higher insight, and those with dull talent struggle.

Fortunately, today, he has successfully changed his destiny!

”Although I didn’t obtain powerful techniques, a Body Seal is more precious than thousands of techniques. The Three Dharma Sect left this Golden Seal presumably to nurture descendants, ensuring a perpetual lineage of talents, yet ultimately I am the one to benefit...”

Feeling the Golden Seal in his dantian, Gu Yuan grew increasingly delighted, taking several deep breaths to calm his excitement.

Then he turned his gaze to the storage bag on the stone table.

Gu Yuan knew this storage bag’s value could not surpass the Golden Seal, yet the Three Dharma Daoist was at the Foundation Establishment Peak upon dying, and his last legacy was certainly not ordinary.

With Spiritual Sense flowing out, Gu Yuan easily refined the storage bag.

The contents of the storage bag were not numerous, only seven jade scrolls, two or three jade boxes, and a letter filled with small characters. Apart from these, there was no artifact or spirit stone.

The writing on the letter was graceful and free-spirited, full of uninhibited aura.

”Kid, I sold my whole life’s collection to convert them into fighting power, to ambush Shao Xiaoyang, leaving only seven Secret Techniques in the bag; four for Qi Refining and three for Foundation Establishment, which were my capital for roaming the East Mountain Realm. Since you obtained the Three Heart Seal, you can surely master them, so rejoice secretly!”

”But I’ve had countless enemies in my life, not knowing how many cultivators I’ve intercepted and killed, hehe, if these cultivation techniques are recognized by others, beware!”

”Apart from that, there are several spiritual materials with an unusual origin, I’ll just give them to you!”

”The Three Dharma Sect is extinct, yet the Dao Lineage shouldn’t disappear silently. If you die, remember to find a suitable successor for the Three Heart Seal...”

”Alas, how sad, without achieving Golden Core, how can the sect be revived?”

”Left by Zhongg Gaohan, an unworthy disciple of the Three Dharma Sect!”

The final signature was the last stroke of the Three Dharma Daoist, filled with regret.

Gu Yuan also sighed softly, then briefly scanned the jade scrolls, turning to open the three jade boxes.

Each jade scroll contained techniques for refining Dharma Seals. Even with the Three Heart Seal, Gu Yuan couldn’t instantly craft them without Dao Pattern Spiritual Materials to enhance combat power, so he decided to check the spiritual materials first.

The first jade box contained a curious Jade Grass emitting specks of golden light, resembling golden stars.

Yet, Gu Yuan couldn’t recognize the origin of this grass.

The second jade box housed an odd jade-like Jade Fruit, crystal-clear like a gem, within which two faint shadows seemed to move, glowing softly.

”This is...”

Gu Yuan’s heart stirred, sensing he had seen this fruit somewhere before.

”Roar roar roar!”

Before he could react, a strong craving emanated from the Spirit Beast Bag at his waist, with a small figure inside eagerly pounding to get out.

Without hesitation, Gu Yuan immediately opened the Spirit Beast Bag.

”Roar roar roar!”

Instantly, a small, ice-blue miniature elephant flew out, landing on the Jade Fruit, chomping down with great zeal.

”This is... the Dragon Elephant Fruit!”

Seeing the Star Spirit’s enthusiastic feasting, Gu Yuan suddenly realized.

The Dragon Elephant Fruit was a rare prize that could greatly accelerate the growth of the Cold Rhinoceros Dragon Elephant Star Spirit.

He had long searched for this fruit and the Ice Soul Cold Rhinoceros Jade, but they were exceedingly rare; after years of searching, he nearly gave up. Unexpectedly, he found them here today.

”Chomp chomp!”

Meanwhile, the Star Spirit was eating with such joy that in just a few blinks, it devoured the Dragon Elephant Fruit that was larger than its body.

Then its small form, like being drunk, staggered and fell into the jade box.

With loud snores, it drifted into sleep.

Yet its tiny figure exuded a strange Spiritual Light, seemingly growing larger, and the Dao Patterns flowing on it more brilliant.

”Good good, at this rate, in about half a day, it will be completely absorbed, and by that time...”

Gu Yuan gently stroked the Star Spirit’s little belly, sensing its speed of absorbing the Jade Fruit, a smile of joy surfaced on his face.

Carefully placing it back in the Spirit Beast Bag, he opened the final jade box.

The last jade box held neither a Dragon Elephant Fruit nor the anticipated Ice Soul Cold Rhinoceros Jade, but a verdant green seed.

The seed glowed with a peculiar halo around it, exceptionally beautiful.

Yet, Gu Yuan didn’t recognize it and carefully set it aside.

Then, he sat cross-legged, quietly contemplating.

He avoided Bian Chuyao and came to this cliff alone not only to seize the Three Heart Seal but also for another important reason.

He wanted to use the Stone Liquid in this secluded place.

In the Daoist School, he had used Stone Liquid many times, but the opportunities seemed exhausted; only in such secret realm perilous lands could he hope to find some benefits.

”The Three Dharma Daoist’s legacy is already extremely rich, even if no chance appears this time, it’s no matter.”

”But since I’m here, I must take a look.”

”Though should I seek Foundation Establishment Spirit Qi or Secret Technique Golden Seal?”

At present, Gu Yuan’s thoughts fixed on these two things, matching his circumstances.

Both were crucial for enhancing his power.

Yet, in just a moment, Gu Yuan made his decision.

”Foundation Establishment Spirit Qi is vital for me, but without comprehending Techniques, even if Spirit Qi appeared before me, I couldn’t see or gather it, rendering it useless; only seeking Secret Technique Golden Seal fits best, as this place has scattered secret techniques extensively, in case there’s a hidden Golden Seal, that would be grand...”

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan hesitated no longer, directly pouring the Stone Liquid, looking towards Cloud Mist Mountain.

The Star River reversed, revealing all things clearly as points and lines, appearing before Gu Yuan’s eyes.

Countless white points sparkled, scattered across the entire Spirit Mountain.

Even the number of green points was not small.

But Gu Yuan’s gaze fixed firmly at the center.

Within the deep, ancient valley, a silvery point carrying hints of gold burst forth with blinding brilliance, reflected in Gu Yuan’s eyes.

Silver with gold, this is a fortune rivaling those within the Demon Star Cave!

A presence capable of altering fate!

What place is Zhongshan Secret Ruins, harboring such abundant opportunities?

Gu Yuan’s heart pounded furiously, without any hesitation, he rose immediately and rushed toward Bian Chuyao’s direction.

”Junior Sister Bian, I’m on my way, hurry to Cloud Mist Valley!”
