Chapter 475 Get out of the way, I can't hold it in anymore, I'm about to break through!
At Jade Maiden Peak, Daoist Xingchen brushed away the fallen leaves on the stone steps for the third time.
For the past three months, he has walked up these stone steps more than a dozen times a day, from the first light of dawn to the starry night.
"Why isn't that little rascal back yet..."
He gazed at the distant sea of clouds and murmured to himself.
Just then, Qinghe Daoren appeared out of thin air, still dressed in a disheveled manner, holding a wine gourd in his hand, and taking a sip.
He had always loved wine, even to the point of being addicted, but at this moment he found this top-grade Starry Brew utterly tasteless.
He wiped his mouth and sighed, "You brat, stop spinning me. It's making me dizzy. You know that girl is tough."
"Resilient?" Daoist Xingchen turned his head, his eyes filled with worry. "She's only at the peak of Foundation Establishment. What if she encounters a Nascent Soul cultivator? What if she stumbles into some ancient forbidden area? What if..."
"What if, what if? There are no 'what ifs'!" Qinghe Daoist interrupted him, but his own hand gripping the wine gourd tightened unconsciously. "Didn't this girl say before she left that she'd be back in two months at most? It's only been a little over three months now..."
His voice trailed off at this point. The two fell silent.
Shen Rugo is their lifeline. Anyone else in the Star Palace can be harmed, but Shen Rugo absolutely cannot be harmed. She is the only hope for the sect's rise.
The mountain breeze rustled through the ancient pines in front of the hall.
"Wait three more days. If she doesn't come back in three days, I'll go out myself and find her no matter what!"
"Qinghe Daoist said through gritted teeth."
Before he could finish speaking, his expression shifted, and he abruptly turned to look at the western horizon.
Almost simultaneously, Daoist Xingchen also sensed it.
"Ru Ge, this little darling is back!"
The two spoke in unison, their faces breaking into smiles.
The figure moved with lightning speed, shooting straight down from the clouds, leaving a blue trail in the air, and landing precisely on the summit of Jade Maiden Peak.
With her dress fluttering and long hair flying, who else could it be but Shen Rugo?
"You're back, my child!"
Qinghe Daoist was overjoyed and disappeared from the spot in a flash.
Xingchen Daoist was quick as well, appearing in the sky above Jade Maiden Peak in the blink of an eye.
The two landed in front of Shen Rugo almost one after the other.
Just as Qinghe Daoist was about to ask about his experiences over the past three months, Xingchen Daoist opened his arms, wanting to give his obedient disciple a hug.
"Uncle-Master Qinghe! Master! What are you doing?"
"Get out of my way! Don't disturb me. I need to go into seclusion to break through to the Golden Core realm!"
Shen Rugo took two steps back, shouted repeatedly, and looked at the two of them with a strange expression.
"what?"
The two of them were stunned at the same time.
The Star Daoist remained in the posture of having his arms outstretched, his expression frozen on his face.
Qinghe Daoist quickly realized what was happening and stared at Shen Rugo from head to toe: "You, you're going to break through to the Golden Core stage? Weren't you only at the peak of Foundation Establishment four months ago?"
"It's too late to explain!"
Shen Rugo spoke rapidly, already pulling out an array plate from her hand, "I'm really about to break through, I can't suppress it anymore!"
Before she finished speaking, she flicked her wrist, and the array plate in her hand flew out, forming a complex array in the air before crashing down around Jade Maiden Peak.
Amidst the flashing golden light, a layer of light curtain rose up, enveloping the entire Jade Maiden Peak and forcibly pushing Qinghe Daoist and his companion out.
"Wait!" Daoist Xingchen exclaimed anxiously, "At least explain what's going on!"
Shen Rugo didn't even turn her head. She took out seventy-two more runes and added them to the great formation, causing it to shine brightly. "I don't have time to explain now. You must help me block everyone out and not let anyone disturb me!"
"Like a Song!"
Qinghe Daoist tried to step forward, but was blocked by the array's light barrier.
The third floor, the fourth floor, the fifth floor...
As if by magic, Shen Rugo took out all sorts of array materials from her storage ring, including spirit stones engraved with runes, array plates made of ancient animal bones, and even several bronze array flags.
Her hands moved swiftly, layering arrays upon arrays. In just ten breaths, she had set up nine arrays!
When the final layer of the formation was deployed, the entire Jade Maiden Peak trembled.
Nine-colored light shot into the sky, completely enveloping the mountain peak, so much so that even divine sense could not penetrate it.
Qinghe Daoist and Xingchen Daoist stood outside the formation, looking at each other in bewilderment.
"These array materials seem incredibly valuable to me..."
Xingchen Daoist swallowed.
As the head of the Star Palace, he does have some insight.
Qinghe Daoist's expression turned solemn: "These are no ordinary items. Where did she get them?"
The two looked at each other and saw shock and worry in each other's eyes.
But soon, the worry was replaced by another emotion: ecstasy!
"Is this little darling really about to break through to the Golden Core stage? How old is she? How long has she been in our sect?"
The Star Daoist's voice trembled.
Qinghe Daoist took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down: "You brat, stop talking nonsense. She said she couldn't suppress it anymore, so she has no choice but to break through. This little ancestor is a rare genius, a prodigy, a monster, and a prodigy. How can you judge her by ordinary standards?"
"We'll stay here and wait until she's finished her breakthrough before asking her. We absolutely cannot let anyone disturb us."
"Yes, yes, yes, we're guarding this place. It's so important for her to break through from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Golden Core stage! It's just a pity that I haven't told her how to break through to the Golden Core stage or how to condense a Golden Core yet."
The Star Daoist was so excited that he kept rubbing his hands together.
As the two were talking, there was no more movement within the formation.
Inside the cave on Jade Maiden Peak, Shen Rugo let out a long sigh of relief.
"I'm finally back..."
She patted her chest, a look of lingering fear on her face. "If it had been half a day later, I'm afraid I would have broken through on the way."
"Gah! Your Highness, you're amazing! You're about to break through to the Golden Core stage so quickly!"
Zhao Cai's eyes lit up as he stared at the things Shen Rugo had taken out.
"Stinky fortune teller, stop flattering me! I haven't caught up with you yet!"
Shen Rugo emptied out everything from her storage bag.
Wow!
Spirit stones poured out like a waterfall, instantly filling half of the cave.
Low-grade spirit stones, mid-grade spirit stones, high-grade spirit stones, and top-grade spirit stones are all available.
But this is only the beginning.
Immediately afterwards, various jade bottles, jade boxes, and treasure chests flew out one after another.
Shen Rugo casually opened a jade bottle, and a rich fragrance of elixirs immediately filled the entire cave. Taking a breath made her feel that her cultivation had improved slightly.
Opening another jade box revealed a thousand-year-old purple ginseng, its whiskers resembling dragons, its spiritual energy transforming into swirling purple clouds.
Then there are ores: Crimson Iron, Frost Jade, Stardust Sand, Geng Metal Essence...
In less than half an incense stick's time, the entire cave was filled with treasures.
Spirit stones were piled up into small mountains, elixir bottles were arranged to form walls, ores were laid out on the ground, and magical artifacts and treasures were hung all over the walls.
The concentration of spiritual energy within the cave increased at a visible rate. Soon, the spiritual energy became so dense that it turned into mist, slowly flowing through the cave.
"We're rich! We're rich!" Zhao Cai plunged into the pile of spirit stones, splashing around happily. "Your Highness, we've really struck it rich this time!"
Shen Rugo's eyes lit up as she watched.
Although she already knew the harvest would be plentiful, seeing so many treasures piled up in front of her still made her heart race.
