The seven Peak Lords left.
Only Su Yuan and Sect Leader Gu remained on the spot.
Sect Leader Gu glared at Su Yuan: "You brat, don't you understand the rules? How can you talk about the division of profits openly?"
"Oh, I was afraid you'd go back on your word," Su Yuan whispered.
"Am I that kind of person?" Sect Leader Gu pretended to be angry.
Su Yuan remained silent for a full ten breaths.
Silence, deafening!
Sect Leader Gu's face darkened, and he threw a ring to Su Yuan.
"Take a look, the True Disciple Token, thirty million Spirit Stones. Don't say I don't have credit!" Sect Leader Gu snorted coldly.
Su Yuan took the Storage Ring and curiously probed his spiritual sense into it. Inside was an extremely large space, containing several sets of True Disciple robes, a True Disciple Token, and a pile of Spirit Stones. A rough count showed there were indeed thirty million stones!
Su Yuan hesitated and said, "I estimated that the final profit should be one billion Spirit Stones. If it's thirty percent, it should be three hundred million..."
Sect Leader Gu glared at him: "You brat, don't you understand the rules? Half has to be handed over to the Sect! Of the remaining five hundred million, Spirit Stones also need to be distributed to the Disciples who did the work, and there are various invisible expenses that you brat can't see at all. Moreover, that Storage Ring is worth a spirit treasure. Be content!"
Su Yuan said leisurely, "If I remember correctly, the Scripture Depository has records stating that this ring is standard issue for True Disciples."
Sect Leader Gu's expression stiffened, and he looked at Su Yuan with a strange gaze. What kind of weird books did you read? Is this something a little Qi Refining Cultivator like you should know?
"Don't give it back to me!" Sect Leader Gu said.
"Yes, yes, thank you, Sect Leader, for the reward!" Su Yuan bowed respectfully.
Sect Leader Gu chuckled dumbly: "You brat, quickly go to the main peak and find a cave mansion to live in! You can choose a third-tier cave mansion! Do you know where the Elemental Pool is? You can enter with the True Disciple Token! You can cultivate for a period each day, or cultivate for a long continuous period; it's up to you. The total time is ten years, use it well."
"Okay!"
Su Yuan said goodbye and left.
Gu Qingzhu stroked the ring in his hand with a relaxed expression: "A small profit of 970 million Spirit Stones, sigh, how should I spend it? So troubled, so troubled."
Sect Leader Gu put on a troubled look, but unfortunately, no one saw it.
Su Yuan arrived at the Immortal Profound Hall on the main peak and chose a third-tier cave mansion there. It was also in a relatively secluded location. The spiritual energy concentration in a third-tier cave mansion is enough to satisfy the cultivation of a Golden Core True Person, so for Su Yuan, it was definitely more than sufficient!
Afterward, Su Yuan returned to his cave mansion on Profound Absolute Peak, buying a fish tank artifact along the way.
When Su Yuan returned to the small courtyard, a splashing sound immediately came from the pool, and a group of spirit fish poked their heads out to look.
Little Rainbow directly jumped into the air, happily wagging his fish tail in the air, drawing a beautiful three-colored rainbow light.
Su Yuan casually threw over dozens of Spirit Stones, saying grandly, "Are you hungry? Eat whatever you want, there are plenty of Spirit Stones!"
A group of spirit fish began to peck at the Spirit Stones, wagging their tails, all looking very happy.
Su Yuan sat by the side watching, and unexpectedly found that the spirit fish around Little Rainbow had somehow developed some three-colored spots on their scales, as if they had been dyed with Little Rainbow's own color.
Su Yuan scooped up a spirit fish to examine it and found nothing unusual inside its body. On the contrary, the spiritual power within its body seemed to have become richer and purer.
The spirit fish opened its eyes, one eye looking innocently at Su Yuan, while the other eye kept glancing at the Spirit Stones being fought over. Its eager little appearance made Su Yuan want to laugh.
Su Yuan directly fed it a piece of broken Spirit Stone and then put it back in the pool.
After waiting for a moment, he saw that they were all full.
Only then did Su Yuan conjure an artifact in the shape of a fish tank.
Profound True Qi was injected into it, and the artifact immediately expanded. Then, Su Yuan activated his spiritual power, and the 49 spirit fish, along with Little Rainbow and the pool water, were all swept into the fish tank.
The 50 fish stayed quietly in the fish tank, curiously observing Su Yuan and their surroundings, seemingly wondering what Su Yuan was doing.
"Let's go, to our new home!"
Su Yuan laughed loudly, stepped on the Seven Star Steps, and in the blink of an eye, he was in mid-air. A Shaking Light Sword followed closely behind his feet, then carried him rapidly towards the main peak.
After settling the spirit fish.
Su Yuan returned to Profound Absolute Peak.
The Scripture Depository.
Su Yuan walked in with a calm expression, wearing his True Disciple robes.
The moment the Scripture Depository steward saw the purple Daoist robe, his expression immediately changed, and he quickly rose and bowed respectfully. Just as he was about to perform the full courtesy, he saw Su Yuan's face and was immediately surprised: "It's you? What's with your robes?"
Su Yuan was a regular, the steward had recognized him long ago!
Su Yuan calmly took out a True Disciple Token: "I remember the Scripture Depository has duplicates, pack them up for me, I'll take them all!"
"Huh?" The steward looked at the True Disciple Token, then at Su Yuan's face, and then listened to Su Yuan's words.
Large question marks appeared in his mind.
When he expresses doubt, it's not that he has a problem, but that *you* have a problem!
"Is there a problem?" Su Yuan pointed at the True Disciple Token again.
"Uh, can I check it?" the steward said.
"Here!" Su Yuan casually handed it to him for inspection.
The steward placed it on a specialized artifact for testing, and lines of text appeared.
Then he looked at Su Yuan with a strange expression: "Main Peak True Disciple, Su Yuan? This name is really yours! This is... cough cough, True Disciple Su, I took good care of you during this time, didn't I? When you become successful in the future, please take care of me!"
"Uh..." Su Yuan was caught off guard by the steward's change in attitude.
He still didn't know the steward's name yet.
"Uh, easy to say, easy to say. Can this service be processed? I want to borrow the Scripture Depository duplicates," Su Yuan asked again.
"Yes, yes, my name is Yin Jiuzong, Senior Brother, please remember it. By the way, Senior Brother Su, what kind of book duplicates do you want?" the steward asked.
"All of them!" Su Yuan said.
"All? This..." Yin Jiuzong was dumbfounded.
"Is that not allowed? I feel it's too troublesome to come back and borrow them again and again!" Su Yuan sighed.
Yin Jiuzong's eyes lit up, and he said, "Senior Brother Su, this is indeed difficult to handle. No one has ever been able to borrow so many duplicates at once. Let me check. With the authority of a True Disciple, you can borrow ten thousand books at a time, with no time limit. However, to borrow more next time, you have to return the previous ones first."
"That troublesome?" Su Yuan frowned.
Yin Jiuzong immediately put on a thinking expression, then suddenly clenched his right fist and struck his left palm: "I've got it, I have a way!"
"Oh?"
"Senior Brother Su just doesn't want to bother going back and forth. Just leave it to this Junior Brother. When True Disciple Su finishes reading, send me a message, and I will personally deliver the new duplicates to you immediately!"
Yin Jiuzong said enthusiastically.
Su Yuan looked speechlessly at Yin Jiuzong. The abacus beads were practically hitting him in the face.
It's just that for the next ten years, he was ostensibly to receive punishment and had to "meditate in seclusion", so he could only stay on the main peak. Going back and forth would indeed be a bit troublesome. In any case, it was just a small matter.
"Alright, I'll trouble Steward Yin then!" Su Yuan said.
"Haha, it's nothing, nothing!" Yin Jiuzong said quickly.
"One matter shouldn't trouble two masters. I wonder if you can help me borrow books from the Scripture Depositories of the other peaks?" Su Yuan asked again.
Upon hearing this, Yin Jiuzong immediately said, "No problem, as long as you have your token, I can borrow them on your behalf!"
Su Yuan was very satisfied upon hearing this and nodded. He immediately borrowed ten thousand duplicate books from the Scripture Depository here on Profound Absolute Peak.
Then he rose on his sword and drifted away.
Yin Jiuzong clutched the sound transmission Jade Slip in his hand, a smile on his face. He had somehow inexplicably established a connection with a True Disciple. The True Disciples of the Seven Absolutes Sect are basically Golden Core Cultivators, and even if they aren't now, they will be in the future. This was a great opportunity.
"Seeing how much True Disciple Su likes reading miscellaneous books, the scriptures in this Scripture Depository won't last long. I noticed before that he doesn't seem to have any particular requirements for the books he reads; as long as they have some substance, he reads any category! Since that's the case, why don't I mobilize the power of my Family to collect books from outside and continuously send them to True Disciple Su? Only then can this relationship last."
Yin Jiuzong's eyes grew brighter and brighter. His Yin Family was most adept in this area. Many Yin Family members were in places like Scripture Depositories, book towers, and academies, making the collection of these books extremely convenient!
Su Yuan evidently hadn't yet realized the weight of being a "True Disciple."
When he flew through the air wearing the purple True Disciple robes, he was seen by quite a few Disciples.
And now, Su Yuan's reputation was considerable; many Disciples recognized him.
Thus, the news of Su Yuan's promotion to True Disciple spread rapidly!
Many people were shocked, clearly unable to believe the authenticity of this news!
Su Yuan was flying in mid-air, intending to return to the main peak, when two figures ascended from a peak and flew towards him.
Su Yuan saw two "acquaintances," the two lecturers from Immortal Seed Valley back then.
Su Yuan saluted and said, "So it's Senior Brother Zhuge and Senior Sister Nangong! Su Yuan greets you!"
Zhuge Jian quickly waved his hand: "True Disciple Su, you humble me. You are now a True Disciple, with authority equal to an Elder. I cannot address you as Senior Brother anymore, otherwise, if an Elder hears it, I'll be beaten!"
Su Yuan smiled upon hearing this: "Brother Zhuge, is there something important?"
Zhuge Jian smiled: "There is a private matter, but can we find a quiet place?"
"In that case, let's go to my cave mansion!" Su Yuan nodded.
"Good!" Zhuge Jian naturally had no objection.
On the other side, Nangong Huoyu was observing Su Yuan, seemingly trying to figure out what was so extraordinary about him that he could directly become a True Disciple!
The three of them flew towards the main peak together.
Upon reaching the main peak, Zhuge Jian also became more reserved.
Many Foundation Establishment Disciples and Golden Core Elders resided on the main peak, and Zhuge Jian didn't dare to act presumptuously.
Descending from mid-air, they walked along the main path and soon arrived at Cave Mansion number 369 on the main peak.
Su Yuan hosted the two, and the three sat beside a small lake inside the cave mansion, drinking tea and admiring the spirit fish swimming in the lake, enjoying a different kind of leisure.
