My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 503 - 183: [First Update]

Si Lin took the lead, and the others followed behind him, walking toward the light circle together.

As they approached the light circle, it remained very calm. Although Si Lin stayed very alert, he felt slightly more relaxed inside.

Just when Gu Qingqing and the others reached the side of the light circle, a sudden change occurred.

A tremendous suction emerged from within the light circle, and Gu Qingqing and the others, caught off guard, were pulled directly into it. Everything around them spun, and they quickly lost consciousness.

After they were sucked in, the light circle suddenly shrank and eventually disappeared.

The surroundings returned to calmness, and except for the bonfire not far away, it seemed as if nothing had happened.

...

When Gu Qingqing woke up, she found the surroundings very quiet. Except for her, everyone else was gone. She quickly sat up from the ground and frowned as she examined her environment.

This was a training room, with a meditation cushion not far from her, seemingly meant for meditation. In front of the cushion was a low table, on which an incense burner was placed, and beside it, there was a box made of purple sandalwood.

On her left, there was a shelf with quite a few jade boxes on it. Each jade box had a small seal, indicating that the contents were likely quite precious.

On her right was a wall with three paintings hanging on it.

The one in the middle was a landscape painting. Gu Qingqing glanced at it and felt it looked familiar. Upon closer inspection, she finally recalled from her memory that it resembled the Immortal Secret Realm she had visited before.

The one on the left was a portrait, and the person in it looked exactly like Venerable Red Flame whom Gu Qingqing had seen in the Secret Realm.

The one on the right was another portrait of a woman. The woman was incredibly beautiful, the most beautiful Gu Qingqing had ever seen, and she bore a striking resemblance to her, only appearing more mature.

Looking at the portrait, she couldn’t help but think of what Venerable Red Flame had said back then.

He had been so kind to her because he thought she resembled someone he knew. Now, upon seeing the portrait of the woman, Gu Qingqing finally understood what Venerable Red Flame meant.

Behind her was a stone door.

She stood up and walked to the stone door, trying to push it open. No matter how much strength she used, she couldn’t open it, and she couldn’t help but frown.

She searched around the stone door, hoping to find some mechanism to open it but found nothing after a long search. The wall beside the stone door was bare, without anything on it.

Realizing that escaping soon seemed unlikely, she thought quietly and then went to the table.

Her gaze swept over the incense burner. She didn’t know what incense was burning inside, but even after so much time, she could vaguely smell it. The pleasant fragrance filled her nose, and her previous agitation from failing to find an exit vanished instantly. She felt very calm at that moment. The unusual feeling intrigued her about the incense inside the burner.

She didn’t rashly inspect the incense burner. Instead, she considered it briefly and took out a pair of Ten-thousand-year-old Ice Silkworm Silk gloves from her storage ring. These gloves were immune to water and fire and also had a protective effect against poison. Mu Chen had them specially crafted by Si Lin for gathering herbs, and since there were extra materials, a pair was made for her too. She didn’t expect them to be useful at this moment.

After removing the incense burner lid, she discovered that the incense inside had indeed burned out, leaving only some ashes.

Having anticipated this, she wasn’t too disappointed and placed the incense burner lid back, turning her attention to the purple sandalwood box beside it.

From a distance, she could only discern that the box was made of purple sandalwood. But upon closer inspection, she realized that the purple sandalwood had been around for hundreds of years, with excellent wood quality, considered top-notch. Even in the Immortal Realm, such a piece of purple sandalwood was rare and valuable.

Whatever was stored in such a box undoubtedly wouldn’t be of low value!

She glanced at the incense burner next to her, a guess forming in her mind, and carefully opened the box.

As soon as the box was opened, a rich fragrance filled her nostrils, making her feel even calmer, as if her mind had been cleansed, becoming exceptionally clear.

Inside the box was a slow fill of incense, with a beautiful pale red color that was pleasing to the eye and had a lovely scent. Gu Qingqing hesitated for a moment, closed the box, and stored it in her storage space.

Afterward, she stood up and moved to the shelf with the jade boxes.

She counted, finding a total of twelve jade boxes on the shelf, with four at each level. The boxes varied in size and had seals on them, making her wonder what treasures could be inside.

To open a jade box, she needed to unravel its seal. Gu Qingqing first picked up a rectangular jade box, about the length of her forearm and an inch wide, with a fine texture indicating high-quality jade material.

She inserted a wisp of immortal power into the seal on the jade box, carefully sensing its shape and structure. After a short time, she opened her eyes, wiped the sweat from her brow, and meticulously opened the jade box.

A green glow emanated from the jade box, and she instinctively closed her eyes. Upon reopening them, she found the box filled with Ten Thousand Years Jade Marrow.

Jade Marrow was a precious item, with an entire jade mine only producing one piece of it. The older the Jade Marrow, the better the effect on people, and the more energy it contained. Like the substantial amount of Ten Thousand Years Jade Marrow in her hand could advance her cultivation to a higher level!

A glimmer of awe appeared in Gu Qingqing’s eyes. She closed the jade box and stored it in her storage space.

Her gaze then shifted to the next jade box.

Just as before, she infused a wisp of immortal power into the jade box’s seal and closed her eyes, carefully examining the seal’s condition. After gaining complete control, she unraveled the seal, taking nearly a quarter of an hour longer than the previous box.

She opened her eyes, her face showing a hint of paleness, but her eyes were bright. She cautiously opened the jade box.

This time, inside the jade box was a palm-sized flower.

The flower was a delicate pale pink with twelve petals, and its stamen was white. The whole flower looked stunningly beautiful. As soon as the flower appeared, she felt a surge in her internal immortal power suggesting that the flower contained significant energy!
