"So the Blood Cry True Master has indeed taken action..."

On the other side, Gu Yuan, who had just escaped from Little Iron Cloud Island, seemed to sense something and glanced in the direction of the Blood Cry True Master, then continued to leave.

In fact, when he dealt with Xu Daozhen and Zheng Xingkong, he was using an avatar at that time.

As for Gu Yuan’s true body, it had always been hidden on Little Iron Cloud Island. It wasn’t until the Blood Cry True Master left that Gu Yuan found an opportunity to escape.

Compared to other people’s avatar techniques, Gu Yuan’s Phantom Avatar was clearly far more sophisticated. The avatar he condensed not only possessed all the strength and cultivation of his true body, but even if it was destroyed, it wouldn’t affect his true body in the slightest, and there were no flaws to be detected by ordinary people.

This was also the source of Gu Yuan’s confidence in conspiring with the Blood Cry True Master to deal with Xu Daozhen.

However, while such a method could fool ordinary cultivators and even Yin God Giants, if he were to encounter someone like Elder Chaotic Heaven, there might still be some clues discerned, so it’s best to stay as far away from Little Iron Cloud Island as possible.

He did gain quite a bit from his trip to Little Iron Cloud Island this time.

Not only did he avenge his martial uncle Zhang Kai, gaining some satisfaction, but he also had a pleasant surprise—obtaining an item like the Thousand-Eyed Spirit Pearl.

Gu Yuan flew tens of thousands of miles away before he finally stopped.

He found a deserted island nearby and excavated a temporary cave mansion.

However, to be safe, Gu Yuan did not settle inside but instead condensed an avatar to enter it.

As for his true body, it went deep underwater nearby and established another cave mansion before entering it.

Now the Blood Cry True Master and the Six Desires Demon Sect behind him, along with Elder Chaotic Heaven’s lineage, were surely going crazy looking for him, so Gu Yuan dared not be careless.

These two forces were not simple by any means.

Especially involving an item like the Thousand-Eyed Spirit Pearl, they would not easily let it go.

So being cautious was always the right move.

It was then that Gu Yuan took out the storage pouches of Xu Daozhen and Zheng Xingkong.

To be honest, Gu Yuan hadn’t had the chance to look closely at whether the Thousand-Eyed Spirit Pearl was inside earlier. He had just quickly scanned the inside of the two storage pouches with his Divine Thought and noticed a few rather special spirit pearls.

Now, it’s time to search.

Gu Yuan first searched through Xu Daozhen’s storage pouch.

This fellow, being a renowned Yin God Giant for many years, had a very rich accumulation in his storage pouch.

The spirit stones were hard to find inside, but Gu Yuan discovered many precious spirit medicines and exotic spiritual materials.

Compared to spirit stones, these things were truly valuable.

Just these items alone made Gu Yuan’s treasury swell once again.

Additionally, there were two magical treasures, one being a flying sword treasure, shrouded in demonic qi and chilling to the core, clearly a demonic treasure, although its grade was not even as high as Gu Yuan’s Blazing Carp Shuttle.

The other magical treasure was a shield treasure. However, although its quality was higher than the Blazing Carp Shuttle, it was damaged, with several holes of varying sizes.

Some holes were only as thick as a finger, while larger ones could be as big as a teacup.

This treasure was clearly wasted, and although there was a chance to repair it, for Gu Yuan, it was unnecessary.

It would be better to exchange it for some spirit medicines or other cultivation resources when the opportunity arises.

As for other items, the storage pouch wasn’t lacking either, like spirit pills, magical artifacts, and cultivation scriptures, among which were some quite precious ones.

There was no shortage of swordsmanship and array-related cultivation scriptures among them.

These things were a pleasant surprise and could enrich his foundation. In the future, when Gu Yuan comprehends the Five Elements Sword Dao Grand Array, they could come in handy. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

However, not long after, Gu Yuan discovered another surprise.

It was a turquoise gourd, about the size of a palm, exquisitely crafted, and overflowing with spiritual energy, making Gu Yuan feel somewhat familiar. It was clearly a Seven Mysterious Gourd, specifically the Green Wood Spiritual Gourd among the Seven Mysterious Gourds.

Together with the Red Fire Spiritual Gourd and the Earth Gourd, Gu Yuan had now collected three-sevenths of the Seven Mysterious Gourds.

He was nearly halfway to collecting all seven gourds.

"How does Xu Daozhen have a Seven Mysterious Gourd?"

Gu Yuan wondered, muttering to himself, "Could it be that this guy got hold of the Seven Mysterious Gourd near Little Iron Cloud Island?"

Back then, Profound Origin Daoist had told Gu Yuan about the whereabouts of two Seven Mysterious Gourds, of which Gu Yuan had already obtained the Earth Gourd.

As for the other Seven Mysterious Gourd’s whereabouts, it was located near Little Iron Cloud Island.

When he met Xu Daozhen and Zheng Xingkong earlier, Gu Yuan deliberately mentioned the ’Seven Mysterious Gourd’ to divert their attention, and their reactions showed they believed it to some extent.

This indicated that the Seven Mysterious Gourd he currently held was indeed obtained by Xu Daozhen from the vicinity of Little Iron Cloud Island.

"Truly, what one seeks is often within reach,"

Gu Yuan thought, feeling lucky as he carefully stored away the Seven Mysterious Gourd. Confirming that there was no trace of the Thousand-Eyed Spirit Pearl in Xu Daozhen’s storage pouch, he then took out Zheng Xingkong’s storage pouch and began to search.

Zheng Xingkong, being a clone of Elder Chaotic Heaven, had even more items in his storage pouch, and they were far more valuable.

Especially a magical treasure, a rare Middle Grade Magical Treasure, which was a copper seal treasure, square and dignified, with a tiger carved on it, exuding a fierce, domineering, and menacing aura.

Gu Yuan played with it for a while and discovered that it was called the Ferocious Tiger Seal. Its power was quite impressive, and he could refine it for regular use.

After putting away the copper seal, Gu Yuan decided to refine it later, planning to use it as a common attack method, and in critical moments, it might be useful for his avatar.

However, it wasn’t long before Gu Yuan found something.

It was a spirit pearl, about the size of a fist, jade white in color, smooth and round on the surface, with a black section in the middle, resembling a jade eyeball.

Gu Yuan pondered for a moment and then infused it with mana.

The next moment, the surface of the jade eyeball emitted a faint spiritual light and began to enlarge at a visible speed, hovering in front of Gu Yuan.

Now the jade eyeball had grown to the size of a head, containing an eerie and marvelous spirituality.

After a moment of contemplation, Gu Yuan moved it with a thought.

The next moment, the jade eyeball emitted a light that was neither gray nor white, like an arrow, piercing through the stone wall in front of him with a swish and burrowing deep underground.

Gu Yuan’s eyelids twitched with obvious surprise.

He clearly saw that the light beam didn’t bore a hole in the soil and rock but rather obliterated all the soil and stone it passed through.
