Chapter 117: Determining the Location

  After a while, Gu He gently rubbed the little head of Qing Lin and softly said, "If you want to bee stronger, will you diligently practid train with me iure?"

  Listening to Gu He's gentle voice, Qing Lin's heart gradually calmed down. She Gu He, and her emerald eyes were filled with determination. "Yes, Teacher, I will."

  However, Gu He's gaze remained ohree tiny emerald dots in Qing Lin's eyes. With the presence of the three emerald snake flower pupils, it wouldn't be too difficult for Qing Lin to achieve her goal iure.

  Then, Gu He began to guide Qing Lin in abs natural energy into her body, starting with the most basic step.

  To be ho, Gu He felt somewhat helpless in Qing Lin's case. With his current level of cultivation, if he were to directly transmit his energy to Qing Lin, it would likely pose a severe risk to her life. As for martial arts and teiques, Qing Lin had not eveered the stage of martial energy. Gu He could not teach her any martial teiques in her current state.

  Therefu He decided to postpone rewarding Qing Lin with the transmission of knowledge for the time being. At the moment, the best course of a was to increase Qing Lin's strength as much as possible.

  Under Gu He's guidance, Qing Lin slowly sat in a meditative posture on the bed, closed her eyes, and then made some strange haures. Subsequently, she began abs natural energy into her body gradually.

  Watg Qing Lin's meditation practice slowly proceeding, Gu He smiled slightly, expressing satisfa. He therieved a sheepskin map from his ste ring, which had been gifted to him by Hai Bo Dong. He carefully exami and murmured, "It seems like tomorrow, I o take Qing Lin to the eastern outskirts of the Tagre Desert."

  For the past two days, most of Gu He's time had bee searg for the whereabouts of the Blue Lotus Heart Fme. Acc to the sheepskin map, it indicated the eastern area of the Tagre Desert. However, this area was too vast, and sidering the Blue Lotus Heart Fme was located underground, it wasn't something he could find quickly.

  Gu He had grown impatient after two days of searg and decided that he would take Qing Lin to iigate the area tomorrow. Acc to his current timeline, he wasn't certain if the Blue Lotus Heart Fme had already fallen into the hands of Queen Medusa.

  However, he remained calm. Even if Queen Medusa obtaihe Blue Lotus Heart Fme, he believed he could recim it without any trouble. After all, Queen Medusa was merely a ar Dou Huang, and Gu He was a Three-Star Dou Zong – he was fident that he could handle her.

  ...

  The day,

  Gu He summoned Qing Lin and showed her the sheepskin map. He then poio the eastern location outside the Tagre Desert and asked, "Qing Lin, have you felt a unique presen this area retly?"

  Upon hearing this, Qing Lin's eyes lit up with uanding, and she nodded in agreement. She replied, "Yes, Teacher, about a month ago, I sensed aremely powerful preseside the Tagre Desert. This presence seemed to share some simirities with the bloodlihin me."

  Gu He's brow furrowed upon hearing this. If Queen Medusa had indeed appeared, it meant that she might have already obtaihe Blue Lotus Heart Fme.

  "It seems like we will have to make a trip to the territory of the Snake-People ," Gu He murmured in his heart.

  Qing Lin, notig the in Gu He's expression, immediately expressed her worries. "Teacher, please be cautious and don't take any risks. Even our squad leaders are much weaker pared to that presence, and..."

  Seeing Qing Lin's ed expression, Gu He couldn't help but smile. "Tell me, am I weaker or strohan that presence?"

  Qing Liated for a moment and then shook her head. "I 't sense your presence."

  Gu He fell silent for a moment upon hearing her response.

  Indeed, Gu He was at the Dou Zong level, and there was no way that Qing Lin, who had never practiced before, could sense his presence.

  Qing Lin's ability to sehe iy of Queen Medusa's aura was solely due to the simirity in their bloodlines, which brought about a racial pressure.

  "e, I will take you to a pce."

  Before Qing Lin could react, Gu He picked her up and, with a fsh, appeared in the eastern outskirts of the Tagre Desert.

  The sudden transition from indoors to outdoors left Qing Lin shocked, her emerald eyes filled with astonishment.

  She looked at Gu He and asked, "Teacher, what is this..."

  Gu He smiled gracefully and didn't expin further. He only said, "You'll get used to it iure."

  Although she was still puzzled, Qing Lin started to guess that her teacher was not as simple as he appeared on the surface, having witnessed his extraordinary abilities.

  Then, Gu He leaned down and asked, "Qing Lin, you sehe exact location where you felt that presence simir to your bloodline?"

  Even though the Blue Lotus Heart Fme had been taken by Queen Medusa, Gu He remembered that there were still two valuable treasures left underground: the Fme Seeding Lotus Seed and the Blue Lotus Seed Pouch. Although these items were no longer of use to him, they would be precious for his disciples iure. As the number of his disciples grew, he would want to ehat he could secure valuable items for them.

  "I should be able to. Even though a month has passed, her residual aura was incredibly strong, and I was able to locate it by relying orand of my bloodline. I should be able to find the exact location," Qing Lin replied with a slight dimming of her expression wheioning her bloodline.

  "Teacher, if you want to go, Qing Lin will do her best to guide you!" Qing Lily smiled.

  With that, Qing Lin closed her eyes and began to carefully sense her surroundings. After a moment, she opened her eyes, a glint of excitement in her gaze, and pointed in a dire, saying, "Teacher, it's over there!"

  Gu He nodded in uanding and, with Qing Lin in his arms, teleported to the indicated location.

  After several rounds of sensing, Qing Lin finally firmed the precise location of the presence. A few moments ter, in a ft desert area, Gu He and Qing Lin appeared.

  "Qing Lin, are you sure it's here?" Gu He sed the surroundings, which seemed to have nothing out of the ordinary, and he couldn't help but feel skeptical.

  After a careful re-sensing by Qing Lin, she nodded fidently and said, "Teacher, it's definitely here."

  Seeing Qing Lin's fidence, Gu He focused his attention oerrain once more. This pce appeared utterly ordinary, with ures that could attract attention. There were tless simir ft sandy areas in the vast desert. It was hard to imagihat su inspicuous pce could hide the trace of a "Spiritual Fire."

  However, since Qing Lin was certain, Gu He had no reason to doubt her.

  In the moment, his thoughts moved, and his spiritual power swiftly spread, fog on underground exploration.

  His spiritual power tinually probed deeper

  underground, inch by inch.

  Oer...

  Two meters...

  Three meters...

  After examining seven different areas, Gu He finally sensed a scorg heat.

  "I've finally found it."

  Feeling this scorg presence, Gu He's eyes lit up.
