Several hours passed in a flash. Under Jiang Qingcheng's guidance and with the support of a peak Emperor level expert, Gu Changqing's disciple quickly became proficient and his foundation became more solid.

Seeing this, Gu Changqing was quite pleased. After explaining some things to Bai Xue and Sisi, he took Jiang Qingcheng back to the sect.

“Husband, the children are your disciples now. It’s not a long-term solution for them to live here. Logically speaking, since you are a disciple of the Qingyun Sect, your disciples should also be disciples of the Qingyun Sect and should live in the sect.” Jiang Qingcheng said with a faint smile.

“What you said makes sense, but let’s leave it at that for now. It would be safer to wait until the sect leader comes out of seclusion before I tell her about it,” Gu Changqing said with a slight smile.

It doesn’t seem right to always bypass the sect leader. Anyway, we have a place to stay and there’s no rush. Why not wait a little longer?

"Yes, perhaps I was overthinking it, or perhaps my husband is very thorough," Jiang Qingcheng said with a calm smile.

Before long, the two returned to the sect. Gu Changqing felt bored and had nothing to do, so he went out to have some fun by himself, without even taking Jiang Qingcheng with him.

Gu Changqing flew leisurely in the sky on his sword, feeling quite at ease. After flying for a while, Gu Changqing suddenly sensed a special aura emanating from the depths of the dense forest below.

Gu Changqing was a little curious and thought to himself, "Could it be some kind of treasure?"

Without saying a word, he headed straight for that mysterious aura.

From a distance, the mountain forest appears lush and verdant, full of life and vitality.

Upon arrival, one realizes that the deep mountains and forests are overgrown with weeds, withered branches and fallen leaves everywhere, and flocks of dark crows occasionally fly in large groups, creating a terrifying and eerie atmosphere.

However, none of this terrified Gu Changqing. He had seen this scene countless times on a certain TV station, and now he was already at the Great Perfection of the Transcendent Realm. Even people from the Upper Realm would have to avoid him. In short, he was incredibly powerful.

It seems that few people come to this place; there is no trace of human presence.

Following the aura, Gu Changqing ventured deeper into the forest. The further he went, the stronger the aura became, which greatly piqued his interest. He grew increasingly excited, convinced that there must be treasures inside.

Reaching the deepest part of the forest, Gu Changqing saw a place emitting white smoke from afar. Gu Changqing couldn't help but feel excited, because this place had the strongest aroma. Without saying a word, Gu Changqing immediately went forward.

It turned out that the place emitting white smoke was an ancient well. This well was an abandoned, long-abandoned dry well, and its surface was covered with all sorts of terrifying and frightening strange animals that no one could name. Looking closely into the well, it was bottomless, dark, and you couldn't see anything. Moreover, there was no water in it. So why was it emitting wisps of white smoke? There was definitely something strange about this.

Without saying a word, Gu Changqing jumped down.

Good heavens, this well is really deep, probably about a thousand meters deep. If an ordinary person fell in, they would probably be smashed to pieces. Even if they survived, they would be badly injured.

After a few breaths, Gu Changqing finally landed safely and smoothly. But as soon as he lifted his foot, he felt something under his feet. He looked down and saw that it was a piece of human bone. It seemed that, just as he expected, someone had indeed died here, never to see the light of day. Their end was truly tragic.

Gu Changqing didn't think too much about it and looked around. Sure enough, he found that there was a hidden world under the well. On the surface, it looked like a well, but at the bottom of the well was a long tunnel. Gu Changqing continued to walk forward and found a lot of human skeletons along the way, which made Gu Changqing feel puzzled.

What is inside this place that attracts so many people to come here, only to perish here? And why did they die? Did they kill each other? Or was there some other reason?

With these questions in mind, Gu Changqing continued walking and discovered a small house that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. Could the treasure be inside the house? Gu Changqing immediately wanted to push open the door.

Strangely, the house couldn't be pushed open, as if it were under some kind of restraint. Gu Changqing's doubts deepened, making him very certain that there was definitely a treasure inside the house.

"You think everything will be fine now? I have plenty of ways to solve this," Gu Changqing sneered.

Without saying a word, he pointed his finger at the door and touched it.

Suddenly, a loud "bang" was heard, and the door was instantly smashed into pieces. In an instant, the scene inside the house appeared before his eyes, which made Gu Changqing slightly stunned.

The house was filled with countless top-grade spirit stones, as well as all sorts of treasures: top-grade spirit stones, excellent weapons, armor, gems, spirit fruits, magic treasures, divine pills... a wide variety of things, everything imaginable, a veritable windfall. He was so happy he couldn't stop smiling, completely absorbed in the sight.

"No wonder the aura here is so strong. It turns out this place is filled with so many spirit stones and treasures," Gu Changqing muttered to himself.

Gu Changqing was overjoyed and smiled smugly. Without saying a word, he took all the top-grade spirit stones in the house and put them into his pocket.

He scanned the area with his divine sense and found that there were over 50 billion top-grade spirit stones alone. He was about to become rich! Hahaha, and with other things added, the value was even more immeasurable.

"No wonder there are so many human skeletons here. So many priceless treasures were hidden inside. These people must have come here to search for treasure, right?" Gu Changqing muttered to himself, suddenly realizing.

This is so awesome! Who wouldn't want a free treasure? Only a fool wouldn't. And Gu Changqing is no fool.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Changqing took all these treasures without hesitation, looting them clean and leaving not a single hair behind, and then threw them all into the system space.

The countless top-grade spirit stones and treasures astonished and disbelieved Gu Changqing. He never expected that such a desolate place would hide so many treasures.

This harvest is far more than what I got from going to the Upper Realm for free before. It's so awesome! It's like the heavens are helping me. I am the chosen one! Hahahaha, I am awesome!

After collecting all the treasures here, Gu Changqing, in high spirits, decided to leave in a carefree manner.
