Chapter 133: Master, I Admire You So Much!

Bai Xiaoyue, Tu Xiaomeng, and Songta'er ran outside and saw Master Qingxu and Yan Chixia appearing on the lawn in front of the Qingxu Temple, walking toward them with great vigor. They hurried forward to greet them, eagerly asking questions with joy.

"Master, Brother Yan, we have been waiting so long for your return!" Tu Xiaomeng beamed. "How was it? Master, Brother Yan, your trip to the Mysterious Island must have been a fruitful one, right?"

Before Master Qingxu could speak, Yan Chixia replied with a radiant smile, "Xiaomeng, you are right! Today, Master and I gained so much from our trip to the Mysterious Island! Every bit of the cultivation resources that belong to us has been brought back, not one piece missing!"

Hearing this, Bai Xiaoyue smiled enchantingly and said, "In that case, Master, Brother, you must have had a tiring journey!"

"Not at all!" Master Qingxu said, filled with joy. "Mingzi, Congzi, Chizi, you have stayed up all this time, waiting for our return with such longing; you are the ones who have truly worked hard! Haha, at this moment, I know you have many questions, and I have much to tell you as well. This is not the place for talk. Let us go to the living room and sit down."

"Yes, Master!" Bai Xiaoyue, Tu Xiaomeng, and Songta'er replied in unison, following Master Qingxu and Yan Chixia into the living room with brisk steps.

In a blink of an eye, everyone entered the living room. Once Yan Chixia, Bai Xiaoyue, Tu Xiaomeng, and Songta'er were seated and looking at him expectantly, Master Qingxu began:

"Mingzi, Congzi, Chizi, Danzi and I had a very successful trip to the Mysterious Island today! We entered the ancient ruins and not only gathered many precious herbs in the Hundred Herb Garden, but also obtained numerous 'Seven-Colored Spirit Stones,' the priceless 'Sea Soul Robes,' the essence of 'Spirit Veins,' and the water from the 'Spirit Spring'! These rare cultivation resources will play a crucial role in advancing everyone's cultivation realm."

"Furthermore, in the ancient ruins, we encountered a 'split spirit' left behind by an ancient immortal. After hearing the words of this immortal's spirit, I realized even more clearly the importance of walking the righteous path of the human world, which has further solidified my determination to practice this path!"

"Danzi, Mingzi, Congzi, Chizi, I must solemnly reiterate: no matter how arduous the path of cultivation may be, you must never fear hardship and must remain steadfast in practicing the righteous path of the human world!"

Master Qingxu’s words were resolute and powerful. Yan Chixia, Bai Xiaoyue, Tu Xiaomeng, and Songta'er replied in unison, "Yes! Master, we will surely keep your earnest teachings in mind!"

"Good!" Master Qingxu said with great satisfaction. "Mingzi, Congzi, Chizi, I shall now display the resources we have gathered so that you may broaden your horizons."

With a wave of his hand, the 'Seven-Colored Spirit Stones,' the 'Sea Soul Robes,' the two white jade bottles containing the essence of 'Spirit Veins' and the 'Spirit Spring' water, and the thousand-year-old herbs from the Hundred Herb Garden all emerged from his storage space, landing on the brick floor of the living room in a dazzling array.

"Ah!" Bai Xiaoyue, Tu Xiaomeng, and Songta'er exclaimed in wonder. They stood up and gathered around, touching the 'Seven-Colored Spirit Stones' and 'Sea Soul Robes' with immense joy, deeply moved by their breathtaking, magical luster.

Master Qingxu and Yan Chixia joined them, smiling as they answered questions about the treasures. Tu Xiaomeng, after marveling at the stones and robes, picked up the two white jade bottles. Weighing them carefully, she asked, "Master, are these the essence of 'Spirit Veins' and the water from the 'Spirit Spring'? Hehe... since they are so precious, why didn't you collect more while you were at the ancient ruins? These two small bottles seem so little!"

Before Master Qingxu could answer, Yan Chixia explained, "Xiaomeng, you don't know that these white jade bottles refined by Master are super magical artifacts! Don't be fooled by their small size; they are not even the size of your palm, but their internal capacity is as large as five rooms!"

"Really?" Tu Xiaomeng looked at Master Qingxu with wide eyes. "Master, you are amazing! You can refine not just magical tools, but also magical artifacts! Master, I admire you so much!"

"Haha..." Master Qingxu chuckled. "Congzi, do not be surprised. My ability to refine these items is the result of many years of diligent cultivation. When your cultivation reaches my level in the future, you will naturally be able to refine them yourselves."

He glanced at the sky outside and said, "It is getting late; it is time to rest. Danzi, Mingzi, Congzi, Chizi, as it seems you do not yet know how to utilize the robes, the essence of the veins, the spring water, or the herbs, I will distribute five 'Seven-Colored Spirit Stones' to each of you. Store them in your 'storage rings' for now."

Yan Chixia, Bai Xiaoyue, Tu Xiaomeng, and Songta'er agreed, happily reciting the incantations to store the five stones in their rings. They had already used up all the 'Five-Colored Spirit Stones' that Yan Chixia had previously brought back from the 'Valley of Despair.'

Seeing that everyone had secured their stones, Master Qingxu instructed, "Very well, the night is deep. Go and get some rest."

They all replied, "Yes," and returned to their rooms. However, buoyed by the excitement of their new treasures, none of them could sleep. They quietly got up and began to practice with intense focus in their respective rooms.

Master Qingxu did not rest either. With such abundant resources, he intended to make full use of them. In his joy, he decided to perform a "body tempering" for Yan Chixia, Bai Xiaoyue, Tu Xiaomeng, and Songta'er immediately.
