A few days ago, Bao Datong revealed to Gu Yuan that the Taiyin Spirit, a top-grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, is extremely rare and often unavailable for sale.

Once it appears, it is swiftly snatched up by buyers.

Even with Gu Yuan's current status, it is difficult to find such a treasure, let alone afford it.

However, this Taiyin Spirit is very popular among female cultivators because it nourishes the female body, maintains eternal youth, and enhances appearance.

Besides the Taiyin Immortal Palace, several top-tier female cultivators often possess this item.

The Taiyin Immortal Palace is a great ancient Immortal Dao sect, revering the Taiyin moon, renowned for its Taiyin Daoist Skills.

Compared to Medicine King Mountain, Star River Sword Sect, and Gu God Sect, this sect's heritage is far more ancient.

It stands on the same level as the Primordial Nether Sect as a Cultivation Sacred Land.

Such ancient sects have incredibly profound foundations, seated with Primordial Spirit True Immortals, and even have Spirit Treasures to suppress their fortune, making them naturally abundant in Taiyin Spirits.

However, given Gu Yuan's status, he cannot currently access such ancient forces.

On the contrary, Gu Yuan happens to know a top-tier female cultivator.

She is none other than Qin Hongxiao from Lankao Mountain, known as the Peach Blossom Fairy.

Gu Yuan has some connection with this Peach Blossom Fairy; his Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly was obtained from her.

In fact, Gu Yuan's ability to become apprenticed to He Ling True Master is largely thanks to the Peach Blossom Fairy.

Without her giving him a Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly Egg, Gu Yuan would not have developed the Sword Heart Talent and naturally would not have gained the favor of He Ling True Master.

Moreover, according to Bao Datong, this Peach Blossom Fairy likely has a Taiyin Spirit in her possession.

Thus, Gu Yuan intends to contact her.

As to whether it will work out, he must try first.

Infusing a stream of True Qi into the Wood Talisman, Gu Yuan feels the talisman has mystically connected with another Wood Talisman.

"What do you need me for?"

Just as Gu Yuan was about to speak, a gentle voice sounded behind him.

Turning around, he realized that an extraordinarily beautiful and unmatched figure had appeared behind him without him knowing.

It was the Peach Blossom Fairy, Qin Hongxiao!

"Greetings, Fairy Qin!"

Gu Yuan was somewhat surprised at her prompt appearance, then respectfully clasped his hands and said somewhat awkwardly:

"To be honest, Fairy, I'm about to break through to the Celestial Human Realm and just happen to need a Divine Technique requiring a Taiyin Spirit to cultivate. I accidentally learned that you might have a Taiyin Spirit, so…"

This Peach Blossom Fairy is always straightforward, saying and doing things without beating around the bush, he acknowledged, speaking forthrightly.

"I indeed have a few pieces of Taiyin Spirit, but as you know, it's incredibly valuable. What will you offer in exchange?"

Qin Hongxiao calmly looked at Gu Yuan with clear and affectionate eyes, speaking directly.

Gu Yuan's expression froze, then he chuckled wryly: "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, Fairy. Other than a Flying Sword gifted to me by my master and a few methods to rear Spirit Beasts and Spiritual Insects, I have nothing worth mentioning."

Qin Hongxiao's eyes gently scanned Gu Yuan, her red lips lightly parted: "No, you have."

"I have?"

Gu Yuan was momentarily stunned.

Aside from the Silver Flood Dragon Sword and the Spirit Pet System he possessed, as well as the Sword Formulas and Daoist Scripture he practiced, Gu Yuan truly didn't have anything of value.

At least Gu Yuan didn't think he possessed anything that would impress Qin Hongxiao.

"When I last saw you, you hadn't made your name, but this time, you've clearly transformed, and your talent and physique have undergone a metamorphosis. It suggests you've obtained some rare opportunity."

Qin Hongxiao's clear eyes were distinctly black and white, calm as water, as if perceiving many things:

"Because of this, you were able to join Medicine King Mountain and be accepted as a disciple by the Golden Core Sword Cultivator there; that is indeed worthy of celebration."

"Fairy overpraises me."

Gu Yuan was also amazed at her perception, even suspecting that the Peach Blossom Fairy before him might have deduced something.

She simply did not point it out because of her gentle and kind nature.

"The Daoist Scripture you're currently studying seems greatly mystical; the True Qi it cultivates is pure and vibrant, potentially capable of cultivating one or two resurrection Divine Techniques. Furthermore, Medicine King Mountain has several Alchemy Masters, not to mention grandmaster-level experts."

Qin Hongxiao spoke calmly: "Given this, soon, there might be something I'll need your help with."

"By then, whether it's you personally or by seeking the help of an Alchemy Master, as long as you can help me solve a problem, it will be as if nothing is owed between us. How does that sound?"

Although Gu Yuan was unsure of what help Qin Hongxiao needed, he perceived another layer of meaning in her words, and he was both surprised and delighted, quickly saying:

"Fairy, rest assured, I'll certainly do my utmost to help solve the problem when the time comes."

"Very well."

Qin Hongxiao lightly nodded, her exquisite face and tender skin soft and smooth, giving off a dreamy sensation.

She extended her hand, dazzlingly clear as mutton fat jade, and with a simple touch on the table beside her, a thing as pure as mutton fat jade suddenly appeared.

It was the Taiyin Spirit!

This piece of Taiyin Spirit was pure white jade, neither quite jade nor quite iron, larger than a fist and irregular, a peculiar substance.

Upon its appearance, it emitted rings of creamy white radiance, and even the moonlight outside was drawn in, converging on the Taiyin Spirit, transforming into strands of silver-gray Moonlight Power, wrapping and condensing.

"It's truly the Taiyin Spirit!"

Holding it in his hand, Gu Yuan felt that while this Taiyin Spirit appeared light, it was extraordinarily hard, seemingly having some mysterious connection to the bright moon above.

"This Taiyin Spirit's purity should be enough to refine a Treasure Mirror."

Though Gu Yuan was usually composed, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of excitement at this moment.

The grade at which a Golden Core is forged has significant connections to the cultivator's own Dao Foundation and the level of Divine Techniques practiced.

The Taiyin Spirit is crucial to the Top-Grade Divine Technique, "Void Moon Reflected Sword Formulas."

With this item, there's a chance to cultivate this Top-Grade Divine Technique, almost allowing Gu Yuan to step into the ranks of top-grade Golden Core cultivators.

It can be said that this Taiyin Spirit concerns a part of his chance to achieve the Dao, giving him ample reason to be excited.

However, amidst the joy, a ripple stirred in Gu Yuan's heart.

The Peach Blossom Fairy before him seems to treat him quite well indeed.

How precious is the Taiyin Spirit?

Yet the Peach Blossom Fairy straightforwardly produced it, merely to exchange for one time of Gu Yuan's assistance.

Although Gu Yuan had joined Medicine King Mountain and had a Golden Core as a master, what virtue or ability did he have to exchange this favor for such a treasure?

Furthermore, it was given first before the help, showing high regard for him indeed.
