The Peacock King looked at Gu Sheng, his eyes flashing with a hint of admiration. He nodded slowly and said, "You are quite gifted. Your future is promising. Cultivate well; do not disappoint me."
As he finished speaking, he placed the Demon Emperor's heart into his Storage Ring. Then, with a wave of his finger, he left all the remaining Divine Spring Immortal Herbs and Spirit Pills in the cauldron to Gu Sheng.
"These are yours now. I hope they can assist you in reaching greater heights," the Peacock King said with a smile. Then he turned around, transformed into a dazzling peacock light shadow, and vanished from the spot.
Gu Sheng watched the Peacock King depart, his heart filled with gratitude and respect. He took a deep breath and began refining the treasures within the cauldron.
The cultivation materials were numerous, each containing powerful energy. Gu Sheng focused his thoughts and released the Grass Vine Demon Soul, instructing it to quickly corrode the treasures.
