Chapter Nine Three Years Later
"This disciple wishes to refine the Cloud Departure Pill and the Nine-Turn Divination Pill, but my strength is too weak, and I am afraid I cannot control the heat. Therefore, I will have to trouble Master." Han Wei looked at Gu Qi pitifully.
Gu Qi smiled and asked, "What are the benefits of helping you refine pills?"
Han Wei: "..."
Benefits? You want more benefits? Isn't this what you, as a master, should be doing?
Han Wei smiled and said, "Shall I play a piece for you on the zither?"
Gu Qi: "I want to live a few more years."
Han Wei: "..."
Although Gu Qi was reluctant, he eventually helped Han Wei refine the pill. The two, master and disciple, though outwardly harmonious, managed to live peacefully on the island for three years.

Three years later.
"Second-grade antidote pills are on sale for only one hundred spirit stones. First come, first served!"
"A magical artifact, a defensive magical artifact, capable of withstanding attacks from level three demonic beasts. Fellow Daoist, please take a look!"
Han Wei walked through the bustling city, surrounded by the sounds of vendors hawking their wares.
Tianqi City is a well-known city in the Southern Region where cultivators gather. In the past three years, Han Wei has frequently come here to trade. Sometimes she comes alone, and sometimes she comes with Gu Qi. On this day, Han Wei, as usual, disguised herself as an ordinary person and came to the market in Tianqi City to trade materials.
After exchanging the materials she needed, Han Wei went to a teahouse to rest.
Han Wei picked up a cup of spiritual tea and overheard several cultivators nearby talking about the Red Deer Mountain Secret Realm.
A burly man in blue asked the young man in black beside him:
"Brother Chen, are you guys planning to go now that the Red Deer Mountain Secret Realm is open?"
“This secret realm only opens once every hundred years, so of course I have to go,” the young man in black replied.
"Senior brother, every time the secret realm opens, the battles inside are extremely fierce. Less than 40% of the people can come out. Are you really going?" The beautiful girl next to the black-clad youth asked with a frown.
"My aptitude is not good. If I don't go in and fight, how will I have a chance to form my core?" the young man in black said, holding his cup.
After the young man in black finished speaking, everyone at the table fell silent for a moment.
Red Deer Mountain is a place of inheritance left over from ancient times. No one knows which family this place of inheritance belongs to. All that is known is that each time it is opened, only cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages can enter through the twelve gates to seek opportunities.
While the secret realm holds many opportunities, it is also fraught with danger. Disciples from various sects fight fiercely for these opportunities, sometimes even more brutally than the monsters within. Therefore, every time it opens, countless people want to enter, while others are too afraid to go in.
Han Wei overheard this and realized she already had plans regarding the Red Deer Mountain Secret Realm. In her previous life, when the secret realm opened, she was imprisoned in a cell at the Qingyun Sect. By the time she escaped, the opening time had already passed. This time, she was determined to go and see what was going on.
Han Wei sat for a while, then got up and left, walking onto the street.
As they walked, they saw a man and a woman walking towards them from the crowd on the street. The man was handsome and dressed in fine clothes, looking like a noble young master.
The woman was dressed in a light green dress and looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. Her long, black hair was styled into a loose bun and adorned with two pearl hairpins. Her small, delicate face was exquisite and endearing, and she exuded a graceful and charming allure. As soon as she appeared, all the male cultivators around her couldn't help but stare at her.
Although the green-clad woman's cultivation level was only at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, the man beside her was at the early stage of Core Formation. When the man's cold gaze swept over them, everyone around lowered their heads and dared not look again.
These two people were Song Xuan and Su Rumei.
Han Wei brushed past the two men. Song Xuan and Su Rumei both saw her, but in their eyes, Han Wei was just an ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment female cultivator and didn't pay much attention to her.
Han Wei listened as Su Rumei asked Song Xuan in a sweet voice, "Senior Brother, are you leading the team to the Red Deer Mountain Secret Realm this time?"
After walking a long way, Han Wei turned around and looked at them, her eyes flashing with murderous intent.
If it weren't for Song Xuan, a Core Formation stage cultivator, accompanying Su Rumei, she would have definitely killed this woman. But, once inside the secret realm, would she really have another Core Formation stage cultivator accompanying her?
————
"I want to go to the Red Deer Mountain Secret Realm!"
Han Wei returned to Chang Le Island and said this to Gu Qi.
Gu Qi was making tea. He elegantly picked up the teapot and said without looking up, "Then you can go!"
Han Wei looked at him and said, "Master, the secret realm is so dangerous. Shouldn't you give your disciple some magical treasures for self-defense? What if something happens to me?"
The man smiled and looked up: "Then it proves you're not good enough. I'll find another apprentice."
Han Wei: "..."
That miser!
Her Wood Spirit Body was so rare; she didn't believe this guy would really let her perish in the secret realm. She continued:
"Fine, if you don't want to give it to me, then don't. Life and death are predestined. If anything happens to me, it's my fate."
After saying that, he sighed, turned around, and left.
As she walked, she silently counted in her mind: one, two, three...
"etc!"
Han Wei smiled and turned to look at the man who had put down his teacup.
With a wave of his hand, Gu Qi saw a dazzling array of colors, and a five-colored celestial robe, mainly in shades of cyan, accented with red, blue, green, and gold, appeared in Han Wei's field of vision. The robe was embroidered with phoenix totems, adorned with sparkling gemstones, and embroidered with the feathers of twelve kinds of spirit birds. It was so beautiful that it immediately caught Han Wei's eye.
Han Wei carefully examined the celestial robe. Besides the radiant glow and spiritual energy surrounding it, the robe was also adorned with several pieces of jewelry, including a gemstone crown, a silver hairpin, earrings, a necklace, and bracelets, all part of the five-colored celestial robe.
“This five-colored celestial robe is made from the feathers of a thousand-year-old azure silkworm and twelve kinds of spirit birds. Wearing it, there shouldn’t be anything in this secret realm that can harm you,” Gu Qi said.
Han Wei reached out and touched the embroidery on the Heavenly Robe, which was a spiritual treasure.
The magical treasures of all the heavens and myriad realms can be categorized from lowest to highest as follows: mortal artifacts, magical artifacts, magical treasures, spiritual artifacts, spiritual treasures, heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, immortal artifacts, immortal treasures, divine artifacts, innate supreme treasures, and chaotic supreme treasures. Besides these, there are also some high-level imitations of magical treasures, such as pseudo-spiritual treasures and pseudo-heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, as well as some secret treasures and exotic treasures that cannot be classified into any particular category, such as demonic weapons and demonic tools.
In the small interface, you can rarely see spiritual treasures; even in the medium interface, spiritual treasures are rare.
Where did this guy get this? Is he really a cultivator from the upper realm?
With a smile, Han Wei cast a spell, and the five-colored celestial robe appeared on her. Gu Qi looked at her, his eyes filled with amazement.
Han Wei was naturally beautiful. At the age of eighteen, she was as beautiful as a newly opened lotus in a pond. This heavenly robe on her was like a golden cloak, making her look even more exquisite and peerless.
Han Wei was so focused on her clothes that she missed the look of amazement in Gu Qi's eyes. She stretched out her arms and smiled at Gu Qi, saying:
"Master, is this the only one?"
Her smile was so beautiful it made Gu Qi's heart flutter. He suddenly looked away and asked, "What else do you want?"
"Of course, the more magical artifacts you have, the better," Han Wei said.
Gu Qi thought for a moment, then raised his hand and threw a brick to Han Wei.
Han Wei took it subconsciously. She looked at the brick in her hand, blinked, and saw that the grayish-blue brick was heavy. However, after scanning it several times with her divine sense, she couldn't see anything special about it.
