My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 481 - 161: [Second Update]

"Senior Brother Four has already come out of seclusion, do you want to go see him?" Jun Wu rested his head on Gu Qingqing’s shoulder, asking softly.

"Really? When did Senior Brother Four come out of seclusion?" Gu Qingqing’s face immediately lit up with a surprised smile, she hurriedly asked.

"He came out last night." Seeing Gu Qingqing in a good mood, Jun Wu couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smile, stood up, and said softly.

Gu Qingqing paused for a moment, immediately recalling what she was doing last night, her gaze shifted, and her face flushed a bit. She quickly stopped thinking and then stood up, heading out.

"I want to go see Senior Brother Four, just so I can give him the stuff." She said while walking out, and by the time she finished speaking, she was already at the door.

"I’ll go with you." Jun Wu called out, his figure appearing beside Gu Qingqing.

When the two arrived, in Mu Chen’s cave, Si Lin and the others had already arrived and were talking to him about matters in the Secret Realm.

"Senior Brother Four, I’m here to see you." As soon as Gu Qingqing saw Mu Chen, she couldn’t help but speed up her pace, stopped in front of Mu Chen, and smiled as she spoke.

"Let me have a good look at you too," Mu Chen’s complexion seemed paler than before, almost transparent, he smiled looking at Gu Qingqing, "Haven’t seen you for a year, Gu Qing has grown a bit."

Gu Qingqing, still very young, was quite happy about growing a bit, and couldn’t help but deepen her smile.

Mu Chen’s current cultivation is at the Golden Immortal Middle Stage, which would have been quite impressive if it was before Gu Qingqing and the others entered the Secret Realm. However, since they emerged from the Secret Realm, each of their cultivations reached the Mid-stage Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, making Mu Chen seem somewhat left behind.

"It’s okay, Senior Brother Four, look, I brought you something good that will definitely make you catch up with us in no time." Gu Qingqing noticed Mu Chen’s slight disappointment, winked at him, and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Si Lin and the others were somewhat curious. Although they all entered the Trial Space, it wasn’t interconnected, so only they knew what they encountered. Now hearing Gu Qingqing’s words, it seemed she brought something for Mu Chen.

Under everyone’s gaze, Gu Qingqing opened her hand, revealing a heart-shaped fruit the size of a baby’s fist, emitting a milky white glow.

"Gu Qing, what is this?" Nan Hua, having never seen such a thing, observed for a while but couldn’t recognize it, simply asked Gu Qingqing directly.

"This is the Tree Heart of the Qilin Tree, containing the essence of Qilin Wood, very useful for an Elixir Cultivator like Senior Brother Four. As long as he absorbs this, he’ll soon be like us, maybe even surpass our cultivation." Seeing others curious, Gu Qingqing couldn’t help but explain a bit before handing the item to Mu Chen.

Giving items between fellow disciples was common, even treasures had been exchanged more than once, so there was no need to be polite.

Mu Chen took the Tree Heart and immediately felt the extremely pure energy within it, just as Gu Qingqing described, very beneficial to him. His body involuntarily started absorbing it, and he couldn’t help but smile.

So, shortly after emerging from seclusion, Mu Chen went back into seclusion. However, this time it wouldn’t be long, as he only needed to absorb the Tree Heart.

Fortunately, Gu Qingqing and the others had just advanced to the Mid-stage Daluo Golden Immortal Realm and were not yet familiar with their cultivation, needing time to acclimate, so Mu Chen’s seclusion didn’t affect anything.

Si Lin and the others were cultivation fanatics, especially knowing that Outer Heaven Demons might come again soon, making them feel pressed for time, cultivating even harder. Only Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu could afford to be a bit more leisurely.

With nothing else to do, Gu Qingqing dragged Jun Wu to wander around the workshop within Langya Immortal Sect.

The workshop was set up for disciples of Langya Immortal Sect to exchange cultivation supplies, most of the stall owners there were Langya Immortal Sect’s own disciples.

As one of the four great Immortal Sects in the Immortal Realm, Langya Immortal Sect had many disciples, so even though the workshop was just for the sect’s disciples, it was quite large.

Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu arrived at dusk, the workshop situated halfway up the mountain. They strolled into the market, and neither was wearing the attire of a Direct Disciple but dressed as Inner Sect Disciples instead.

Nevertheless, their outstanding appearance still caught many people’s attention. Of course, there were also disciples who had entered the Secret Realm with them and recognized them, but most just presumed they were Inner Sect Disciples.

"Wow, the stuff in this workshop is quite comprehensive." Gu Qingqing browsed through the stalls, noticing all sorts of items for sale.

Elixirs, herbs, weapons, and more—everything you could think of was for sale here.

It was evident that some items were crafted by the disciples themselves, while others were treasures they had acquired outside.

Although Gu Qingqing was somewhat lacking in Immortal Coins when she first ascended to the Immortal Realm, after others ascended and especially after joining Langya Immortal Sect, she no longer lacked them, and she would buy things whenever she fancied them—though she would haggle for fun.

After walking for a while, she had already purchased quite a few things, most of which were useful.

When she reached a stall in the deep corners, she suddenly stopped, noticed something, and crouched down to closely examine the items.

The vendor, wearing Inner Sect disciple robes, appeared indifferent, only raising an eyelid to glance at Gu Qingqing when she squatted down, not sparing her another glance afterwards.

Unlike other stall owners, he didn’t try to introduce his items to Gu Qingqing and appeared as if he weren’t interested in selling at all.

Gu Qingqing, accustomed to meeting various types of people, felt nothing special towards such vendors and casually browsed through the stall.

She stopped because she sensed a very familiar aura from the stall, though she couldn’t immediately place it, she knew a familiar item was present, prompting her to crouch down.

The stall had a limited collection, featuring some sixth-tier Immortal Rank Vermilion Flow Flowers, fifth-tier Immortal Rank Holy Flame Fruit, fifth-tier Immortal Rank Cloud Ascending Pills, and other items sourced from powerful spirit beasts—not many, but precious.

Gu Qingqing’s eyes swept over them and finally settled on a black box tucked in the corner.

The box, made of wood, was likely crafted from resilient wood and bore several ornate arrays carved into its surface.
