Chapter 43 repeatedly refreshes the worldview.
“She possesses a quasi-divine artifact, and it was because of this quasi-divine artifact that Gao Zhizhi captured Xiaoxiao to threaten Ruan Qi.” After saying this, Yun Qingyi secretly glanced at Ci Gui and found that he still looked normal.
"Master, aren't you shocked? Even a slight surprise would be fine, that's a quasi-divine artifact!"
"Then take out that quasi-divine artifact and let me see it," Ci Gui said with a light laugh.
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyi felt somewhat embarrassed and stammered, "I didn't ask her for that quasi-divine artifact."
Ci Gui raised an eyebrow, seemingly somewhat surprised: "She asked you for help, telling you she had a quasi-divine artifact, but didn't use that quasi-divine artifact as a bargaining chip?"
"No, no," Yun Qingyi quickly shook her head.
“She wanted to give it to me, but I didn’t take it. That quasi-divine artifact was the last thing her loved ones left her. I thought of my family and couldn’t bear to take it.”
After listening to the lyrics, he smiled and said, "But you seem a little disappointed."
"Of course, it is a quasi-divine artifact after all. It's a bit of a pity that we could have obtained it but didn't." Yun Qingyi finished the last piece of pastry, took a sip of tea, and said seriously.
“Come here.” Ci Gui stood up and extended his hand to Yun Qingyi.
"Where are we going, Master?" Yun Qingyi asked, pulling his hand in confusion.
Ci Gui didn't speak, but closed his eyes, and with a thought, the surrounding scenery changed.
“This is a little world I’ve created,” Ci Gui explained.
Yun Qingyi: !!!
"Master, how many more surprises do you have that I don't know about?" Yun Qingyi looked around excitedly.
Butterflies fluttered, streams murmured, and not far away sat a small bamboo garden. In front of the garden was a lush bamboo grove, and further away, besides blooming flowers, there were also fields of medicinal herbs.
Waaaaah! This is the place where cultivators should live! It has such a wonderful atmosphere!
"You seem to really like it here?" Ci Gui smiled.
Yun Qingyi nodded excitedly. It was quiet, full of spiritual energy, and a place that no one else could possibly find. Her sense of security was immediately maximized.
"Then you can come often in the future."
"Hmm?" Yun Qingyi wondered why he came so often. She couldn't possibly come to see her master every time she wanted to, that would be too much trouble.
Seemingly understanding Yun Qingyi's confusion, Ci Gui took out a jade pendant from somewhere and tied it around her neck.
"This is the key to this little world. With it, you can come here anytime without having to come looking for me."
"Really? Thank you, Master!" Yun Qingyi happily accepted the jade pendant.
With a smile, Ci Gui said, "If you want to thank me, you can do so later."
Yun Qingyi: ?
After saying that, Ci Gui continued to hold Yun Qingyi's hand and walked into the bamboo garden.
Bamboo Garden was different from what Yun Qingyi had imagined. It didn't look big from the outside, but it was actually a hidden paradise inside. After passing a hot spring and going through a bamboo corridor, they arrived at an ancient wooden door.
The wooden door has intricate flowing patterns, which seem to be some kind of seal.
Ci Gui used his right hand to draw several patterns in front of the wooden door with his spiritual power, and soon the seal on the door was broken.
The moment she pushed open the door, Yun Qingyi was shocked again.
What's this!!
The enormous room was filled with rare and precious materials, and some treasures that would be priceless outside were casually thrown on the ground.
Now Yun Qingyi was completely convinced that Ci Gui had lived for over 13,000 years; without that much age, he really couldn't have accumulated all these treasures in the house.
"Do you still like it?" Ci Gui asked with a smile.
"I love it!" Yun Qingyi said without hesitation, her eyes crinkling. Who wouldn't love a room full of rare and precious herbs?
"If you like, you can take anything you want from here, but what I really want to give you is not in this pile of things in front of you."
Bypassing those rare and precious materials, Ci Gui led Yun Qingyi into a deeper passageway. After passing through the passageway, four treasures of different shapes floated on a huge, indistinct black jade stone.
The treasure was surrounded by a dazzling array of colorful lights, which made the crystal passageway look absolutely stunning.
“This is…” Yun Qingyi turned her head to look at Ci Gui. Although she had a vague idea of the answer in her heart, she still couldn’t believe it.
"These four treasures are called the Nine Yang Furnace, the Phoenix Zither, the Sumeru Fan, and the Nuwa Stone. They are all at the level of divine artifacts. This Nuwa Stone is a relic from ancient times and has the power to bring the dead back to life."
The Nine Yang Furnace can not only be used to refine elixirs, but also to forge magical artifacts, effectively improving the quality of both.
This phoenix harp was made by me from phoenix feathers. When played, it can unleash the fiery power of the feathers and also provide a protective shield.
Finally, this Sumeru fan possesses the power to teleport, allowing it to traverse thousands of miles in an instant.
After introducing them one by one, Ci Gui smiled at Yun Qingyi and asked, "Which one do you want?"
Just as Yun Qingyi was recovering from the shock of all the artifacts being divine, she heard Ci Gui say that he wanted to give her one.
"Huh?" Yun Qingyi was stunned, pointing at the four divine artifacts shimmering in the light before her: "Master, are you really going to give me one of them?"
Ci Gui chuckled helplessly, "When have I ever lied to you?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyi looked excitedly at the four treasures in front of her: "Speaking of which, Master, this Sumeru Fan looks just like your teleportation technique."
"The teleportation technique was developed by me by imitating the Sumeru Fan, but it is far inferior to the Sumeru Fan. It can only be used by those at the Nascent Soul stage or above, and it has too many restrictions. Only those who have reached the Tribulation Transcending stage can use it without any restrictions," Ci Gui explained.
Yun Qingyi: ...So you're the only one in the entire sect who really enjoys it.
Word Return: ...
After much deliberation, Yun Qingyi finally selected the artifact she wanted.
"Are you sure you want this Phoenix Zither?" Ci Gui took the Phoenix Zither down and wiped away his mark on it.
"Yes! I'm sure." She prefers offensive weapons to support weapons. This Phoenix Harp is exceptionally powerful, and it was made by her master, which makes it all the more special.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh, "Master, you know so many things! You make musical instruments, you write cultivation techniques, it seems like there's nothing you can't do."
Ci Gui couldn't help but chuckle: "Having lived a long time, one naturally wants to do something."
"Master, do we have to drip blood on it to recognize its master?" Yun Qingyi asked excitedly, holding the Phoenix Zither and feeling its heavy weight.
"Hmm, I remember there's a spirit inside. You can give it a name."
Yun Qingyi condensed a drop of blood and dripped it onto the phoenix zither in her hand. Instantly, a bright light flashed, and a golden light shot out from the zither.
"Who dares to form a contract with this artifact spirit! They're utterly courting death! You have three seconds to find a way to break this damned contract..."
The little figure in the golden light rubbed his eyes groggily until he saw Ci Gui standing next to Yun Qingyi, at which point his words stopped abruptly.
"S-Sir?!"
