Chapter 189: Mountain Dest and Mission

  Three days ter.

  In Gu He's courtyard.

  At this moment, Gu He was leisurely sitting in the pavilion.

  Outside the pavilion stood fures—Liu Ling, Xiao Yixian, Nan Yanran, and Qing Lin.

  "Master, why did you suddenly summon all of us? Do you have any instrus?" Liu Ling looked at Gu He in the pavilion and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

  Early this m, Gu He had called him to the courtyard, and upon arrival, he found the other senior sisters here as well. Faintly, Liu Lihat his master probably had some important annou.

  On the side, Xiao Yixian, Nan Yanran, and Qing Lin also looked at Gu He with curiosity and uainty.

  To be ho, since being disciples, such a grand gathering seemed to be the first time in history.

  They each specuted on what their master might instruct.

  Gu He gnced over them and, seeing that all his disciples were present, he slowly stood up.

  Looking at the four disciples in front of him, Gu He calmly said, "Starting today, all of you will go down the mountain."

  "Down the mountain?"

  Hearing Gu He's words, the four of them were all stuheir faces filled with fusion.

  "Master, why are we going down the mountain? Is there something you need us to do?" Liu Liated for a moment and asked.

  Gu He didn't beat around the bush and directly said, "From birth until now, none of you have experienced life-ah battles. Human potential erupts like a volo only when life is threatened. Your previous lukewarm cultivation will probably never make you true powerhouses!"

  "So, the reason I called you here is to let you go down the mountain for some time to gain experience."

  "Go down the mountain for experience?"

  Hearing this, the four were all puzzled, feeling that it came out of nowhere.

  Why would their master suddenly want them to go down the mountain for experience?

  "Master, our strength is still weak. Isn't it a bit dangerous to go out for experience?" Liu Ling spoke with a hint of worry.

  From childhood to now, he had never left the imperial capital, let alone gain experieside.

  In Liu Ling's mind, the outside world was full of tless dangers, with a slight carelessness leading to life-threatening situations.

  This made Liu Ling have a kind of fear towards the outside world.

  Now, with his master suddenly suggesting that they go down the mountain for experience, Liu Ling suddenly felt caught off guard and a bit scared.

  "Coward!"

  Seeing the fear and worry on Liu Ling's face, Gu He was somewhat dissatisfied, his face showing a dark expression.

  It seemed that he had protected these little guys too well, making them live too fortably.

  There was not a trace of the heart of a powerhouse in them.

  "For each of you, master has been dug special training every day. I didn't do this to let you cower in this small Jia Ma Empire for the rest of your lives."

  "Cultivators must possess the heart of a powerhouse."

  "Iure, I hope that all of you stand on your own, step out of the Jia Ma Empire, and go to the tral Pins where strong people are as numerous as clouds!"

  "Your performance has truly disappointed me!"

  "If you don't want to go down the mountain for experiehe lost! I, Gu He, don't need useless disciples like you!"

  This time, Gu He, rarely showed no merd went into a furious tirade against Liu Ling.

  Gu He's scolding made Liu Ling's body tremble involuntarily. He was genuinely scared. It was the first time he had seen his master this angry.

  "Master, disciple knows his mistake."

  Liu Ling's face showed a sense of shame, and he lowered his voiit his fault.

  Then, Liu Ling directly k down on the ground with a thump, his voice carrying a hint , "Master, please don't kick me out."

  "Liu Ling, as the senior brother, you must set an example and take responsibility!"

  Seeing this se, Gu He's face softened slightly, and he spoke in a deep voice.

  "In this uping mountain dest, you must take the lead."

  Upon hearing this, Liu Ling's face showed regret, and a hint of determination fshed in his eyes. "Yes, Master."

  Gu He hen looked at Nan Yanran and Xiao Yixian, and spoke more slowly, "What about you? Any objes?"

  Nan Yanran and Xiao Yixian shook their heads decisively, saying in unison, "Disciples have no objes."

  "I don't have any objes either."

  Just at this moment, a voice, obviously a beat slower, souimidly. It was Qing Lin.

  Seeing this, Gu He reized that Qing Lin, who was standing aside, had just been frightened by his sudden anger.

  Feeling a bit remorseful, Gu He softened his gaze and looked at Qing Lin, sayily, "Qing Lin, you're still young. This time, you will stay in the sect."

  Upon hearing this, Qing Lin looked somewhat disheartened. Her emerald green eyes blinked and g Nan Yanran and Xiao Yixian beside her, showing some reluce.

  "Master, I go down the mountain for experieh my sed and third senior sisters?" Qing Lin, with a hint of reluce, asked in a timid voice.

  Gu He shook his head, his expression being serious. "No, going down the mountain for experience is not child's py. You are still young, and your cultivation is too low. Following them will only be a burden."

  Seeing the disappoi itle girl's eyes, Gu He tio fort her in a geone, "You stay in the sed cultivate. When your cultivation breaks through to the Five-Star Dou Master realm, I will let you go down the mountain."

  Upon hearing this, Qing Lin nodded. With her current cultivation speed, it wouldn't be long before she broke through to the Five-Star Dou Master realm.

  Gu He then looked at Liu Ling, Nan Yanran, and Xiao Yixian again, saying mildly, "Sinone of you have objes, I will now assign you missions for the dest."

  Gu He's gaze then fell on Liu Ling, instrug, "Liu Ling, as the eldest senior brother, step forward."

  Without hesitation, Liu Ling got up and approached the pavilion.

  "This time, your mission will be iagreat Desert," Gu He said calmly.

  The Tagreat Desert had abundant fire attribute energy, making it the most suitable pce for Liu Ling. Gu He had this idea during their previous visit to the desert.

  "Tagreat Desert?"

  Hearing this, Liu Ling's heart shook. That was the territory of the Snake-People !

  With his current strength, how could he ensure his safety?

  Liu Li a bit afraid but dared not show it, fearing that Gu He would get angry again.

  Gu He tinued, "Your mission has three points. First, go to the Sto City aablish the rgest merary group. Sed, reach the Dou Spirit realm. Third, breakthrough to bee a fifth-grade alchemist."

  Liu Ling had never experienced bat with others, and flicts were almost unavoidable between different merary groups, whether between them or between merary groups and the Snake-People .

  Gu He's iion was to let Liu Ling grow through battles among the merary groups.

  Upon hearing this, Liu Ling was stunned for a moment, then responded without hesitation, "Disciple obeys!"
