731: It's a pity that my handsome face has delayed my talent.

“Sect Master, please save my child's life.”

Qi Ruilin flashed to the outside of the cave. She didn't ask the Celestials because she knew it was impossible.

The Celestials are majestic, sacred, and inviolable.

Xiao Houzi wasn't beaten to death on the spot only because this was Starry Sacred Mother's cave.

If it were anywhere else, Xiao Houzi would have long turned to ashes, and perhaps even she, his mother, would have been implicated.

Therefore, the only one who could save Xiao Houzi was Gu Qing.

However, interrupting Gu Qing's seclusion was an equally unforgivable sin.

But she couldn't care about that much anymore.

Qi Ruilin knelt down with Xiao Houzi in her arms, her voice urgent and mournful.

This was the monkey she had conceived after countless years of effort and collecting countless treasures. If the monkey was gone, she wouldn't want to live either.

The eyes of the Celestials flickered, letting Qi Ruilin wail.

“Come in.”

Gu Qing's calm voice came out.

The moment Qi Ruilin called out 'Sect Master,' he was startled awake, feeling a bit annoyed.

However, seeing her as a mother, Gu Qing found it hard to blame her.

Fortunately, after a hundred years of seclusion, he had already broken through to the eleventh realm.

After glancing at Starry Sacred Mother, who was cultivating with her eyes closed, Gu Qing quietly left the room and entered a palace.

“Thud.”

“Disturbing the Sect Master's seclusion is a sin punishable by death, but please, Sect Master, save my child.”

“Greetings, Master!”

“Junior Brother, where is Master?”

...“Get up. As a mother, whatever you do is not excessive.”

Gu Qing smiled, waved his hand, and a force lifted Xiao Houzi in front of him. He raised his hand, and a stream of magic power dispelled the residual power in Xiao Houzi's body.

Immediately after, he used a secret technique to reassemble Xiao Houzi's shattered soul.

“Phew!”

“Thank you for your great kindness, Sect Master.” Qi Ruilin cried tears of joy; her monkey child was saved.

As for his foundation, if it was Wasted, then so be it, as long as he was alive and healthy.

“It was just a small effort.”

Gu Qing shook his head, took out a billion drops of Chaotic Origin Fluid, and with a thought, a furnace appeared in the void, helping Xiao Houzi reshape his foundation and refine his bloodline.

This Xiao Houzi and Qi Ruilin's origins were extraordinary, possessing the bloodline of a Chaotic Demonic Ape, with unparalleled combat power.

With proper cultivation, he might become a Celestial with unparalleled combat power.

“This…” Qi Ruilin's beautiful eyes widened.

“Gulp!” Fang Jixuan secretly swallowed his saliva.

Chaotic Origin Fluid… Gu Qing actually gave Xiao Houzi so much Chaotic Origin Fluid. Fang Jixuan immediately felt jealous.

He was Gu Qing's disciple, but Gu Qing only gave him 100 million drops, while giving an outsider ten times more than him.

Who exactly was Gu Qing's disciple?

If he could get a billion drops, his physique would definitely improve further.

The more Fang Jixuan thought about it, the more fervent he became.

“Master, Master…” Fang Jixuan rubbed his hands and said with a fawning expression, his eyes full of longing.

“Still at God Emperor Triple-realm?”

Gu Qing glanced at him, his expression slightly cold, and scolded, “A hundred years have passed, and you've made no progress. Such a good-for-nothing is unworthy of being my disciple.”

Fang Jixuan's face turned pale: “I… Master, I just wanted to solidify my foundation.”

“Heh, a good-for-nothing is a good-for-nothing. When I was in the God Emperor realm, I could break through two major realms in a hundred years.”

Gu Qing shook his head with some disappointment: “If in another hundred years you cannot break through to the Fifth-realm, I can only expel you from the sect.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Jixuan was so angry he wanted to curse.

Did he really think the God Emperor realm was a mortal realm, where one could break through just by saying so?

A hundred years wasn't even enough time to stabilize one's realm.

This was clearly an intention to expel him from the sect.

Though he thought this, Fang Jixuan saw Gu Qing's cold expression and dared not refute a single word: “Yes, Master, rest assured, I will definitely break through.”

After speaking, he looked at Gu Qing with expectant eyes.

The meaning was self-evident.

However, Gu Qing didn't bother to give him another glance, and also ignored the angry and dissatisfied expressions of the Celestials, looking at Xiao Houzi, liking him more and more.

Under the investigation of his Dao Pupil, Xiao Houzi turned out to be a destined protagonist, and his character was pure and kind, without the violent, demonic nature of a Chaotic Demonic Ape.

If he helped Xiao Houzi's bloodline return to its ancestral state, he might even break through to become a Master God.

Seeing this, Fang Jixuan's expression stiffened for a moment, and a look of resentment flashed in his eyes.

He wanted him to break through realms, yet didn't give him treasures or cultivation methods. He was simply unworthy of being a master.

Without Gu Qing's help, it would be impossible for him to break through five realms within a hundred years.

“Although the Sect Master is a bit mischievous, arrogant, and domineering, he is truly good… My child is valued by the Sect Master, his future is limitless…” Qi Ruilin thought excitedly.

She had originally prepared to die with her child, but she never expected Gu Qing not only to not blame her but also to use Chaotic Origin Fluid to help the monkey reshape his foundation.

She glanced at Fang Jixuan, taking in his changing expression, and sneered in her heart: “As expected of a cuckoo's offspring, only knowing how to take, not how to repay kindness. He deserves to die.”

“Hiss~”

“The Sect Master is too arrogant and domineering, isn't he? Can't he at least say a few perfunctory words to the Celestial mighty ones…”

As time passed by, minute by minute, Qi Ruilin suddenly felt immense pressure.

Even though the dozen or so Celestials didn't reveal any aura, a single thought could change heaven and earth.

The faces of the dozen or so Celestials grew increasingly gloomy, and the hall was filled with a murderous aura. Even as a Ninth-realm Saint, she felt immense terror and was filled with apprehension.

In this world, perhaps only Gu Qing dared to ignore Celestials, apart from the Master God.

“Alright!”

After refining Xiao Houzi, Gu Qing withdrew his divine abilities and looked at the golden-glowing Xiao Houzi with a smile.

“Mother!” Xiao Houzi's eyes were sparkling with golden light. The moment he came out, he jumped into his mother's arms, looking frightened, but also couldn't help but look at the Celestials out of curiosity.

“Don't be afraid, my child.”

The stern-faced Qi Ruilin showed motherly tenderness on her face, dotingly stroking the monkey's head.

“It was the Sect Master who saved you. Go quickly and thank the Sect Master for his life-saving grace.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Houzi immediately turned to look at Gu Qing. Seeing his kind expression, Xiao Houzi scratched his ears and cheekily giggled.

“Thank you, Sect Master, for saving my life.”

“Idiot, have you forgotten how Mother taught you to kneel and thank for great kindness?”

Qi Ruilin's expression changed, and she was about to press Xiao Houzi to kneel.

“No need for formalities.”

Gu Qing waved his big hand, swept Xiao Houzi over, and lifted him by his monkey tail with one hand.

Tsk, his monkey tail was quite long, almost as long as his entire body.

“Hehe…” Xiao Houzi was extremely happy, immediately swaying and making faces at Gu Qing, not at all shy.

Qi Ruilin's mouth twitched, and she hesitated to speak.

“Xiao Qi, does Xiao Houzi have a name or a Daoist title yet?” Gu Qing asked with a smile.

Feeling that this monkey was quite fun, he immediately had the idea of taking him as a disciple.

“Replying to the Sect Master, he only has a nickname.”

Qi Ruilin was overjoyed and immediately replied.

Actually, Xiao Houzi did have a name, but if she said he did at this moment, she would be a fool.

In the past, he was indeed an unruly fool, but now she was a shrewd monkey who understood human relations.

“Since he doesn't, how about I give him a name?”

“To receive a name from the Sect Master is an honor for our mother and son.” Qi Ruilin bowed.

“Hmm!”

Gu Qing hummed, stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, then said: “His mortal name shall be Qitian, meaning to be level with the heavens.”

“His Daoist title shall be Wuzhen Zi, meaning one who comprehends the true Dao, sees through illusions and falsehoods, and grasps the true meaning of the Great Dao.”

“Qitian, Wuzhen Zi…”

Qi Ruilin murmured, her eyes bursting with light, her excitement evident.

“Good, good, good, this name and Daoist title are excellent! My son will surely comprehend the true Dao. Thank you, Sect Master, for bestowing the name.”

Qi Ruilin was overjoyed, looking at Gu Qing with adoration.

These cultivators of theirs were so focused on cultivation that they often lacked culture.

She had originally thought Gu Qing was the same, but to her utter surprise, Gu Qing was so talented.

“What a good name…” Fang Jixuan thought to himself, admiring Gu Qing's naming ability from the bottom of his heart.

Even the Celestials present now really wanted to claim the Daoist title Wuzhen Zi for themselves.

After all, who wouldn't want to comprehend the true Dao?

“Hahaha.”

Gu Qing laughed heartily, recalling past events, and sighed: “I was a genuine top scholar, but unfortunately, my incomparably handsome face overshadowed my talent. I took the imperial examinations four times, only becoming a top scholar once and a Tanhualang (third-place scholar) three times.”

Qi Ruilin: “...”

Fang Jixuan: “...”

All the Celestials: “...”

Starry Sacred Mother, secretly peeking: “...”
