Chapter 225 Enlightenment, Dream
Besides Immortal King Huo, Immortal King Yao Guang and Immortal King Chong Hua also frequently visit this place; all three have directly proposed marriage. Immortal King Chi Tian of the Great Sun Golden Crow clan also comes often. Chi Tian's visit isn't because he's fallen in love with Gu Yan—though he does like her—but more so because he wants to bring her back to the Great Sun Golden Crow clan to raise her.
Shouldn't such a powerful descendant, possessing the bloodline of the Great Sun Golden Crow, remain within the Great Sun Golden Crow clan?
Besides them, immortal kings like Xiao Yu would also come to bother them from time to time.
Revlon must be quite tired of dealing with these guys every day.
Upon hearing Mulan's words, Gu Yan paused in drawing the talisman.
"Don't worry, young master, Master will take care of them," Mulan said with a smile.
Zhou Ting and Xie Wan'er came in from outside, one carrying tea and the other carrying snacks, both with smiles on their faces.
"Young master, here's your tea."
"Young master, please try some of the snacks I made."
Gu Yan glanced at them and smiled, "Put it down."
Just as Zhou Ting and Xie Wan'er put down their tea and snacks, two figures entered from outside: Xue Mengqi and Lü Wei. Lü Wei was carrying a food box, while Xue Mengqi was holding a pot of withered flowers.
Upon seeing the two of them, Zhou Ting, Mulan, and Xie Wan'er hurriedly called out, "Senior Sisters."
"Young master, I don't know why my flower has withered and died. Can you take a look and see if it can be saved?" Xue Mengqi placed the flowerpot on the table, looked at Gu Yan, and asked expectantly.
Gu Yan extended his slender, fair fingers and touched the flower's leaves. A faint green light emanated from his fingers, and in an instant, the withered flower regained its vitality. The yellowed leaves turned emerald green, and flower buds sprouted, eventually blooming into pure white blossoms. As soon as the flower opened, its fragrance filled the room, and its white petals were truly beautiful.
"This flower shouldn't be watered with too much spiritual liquid, so please be careful in the future," Gu Yan said to Xue Mengqi.
Xue Mengqi looked at Gu Yan and said shyly, "I understand."
Mulan and Xie Wan'er, who were standing nearby, secretly rolled their eyes. They didn't believe that Xue Mengqi didn't know that this pot of intoxicating lilies couldn't be watered with too much spiritual liquid. It was clearly Xue Mengqi who deliberately killed it and then used it as an excuse to see Young Master Gu.
"Young master, I made some desserts. Would you like to try them and see if they're good?" Lü Wei smiled as she opened the food box, her cheeks flushed, and presented the plates of pastries she had made.
Lu Wei's skills were superior to Xie Wan'er's; her exquisite pastries completely outshone Xie Wan'er's plate of osmanthus cake. Xie Wan'er pouted, but since Lu Wei was her senior, she didn't dare complain, though she couldn't help but mutter a few curses about her in her heart.
Gu Yan forced a smile as he looked at the girls surrounding him.
He's exhausted from dealing with all these girls every day.
Gu Yan was truly exhausted, so he went into seclusion.
He told Revlon that he was going into seclusion.
He hadn't considered going to the Wood Spirit Palace, but he feared the situation there wouldn't be much better. After thinking it over, he decided to seclude himself in the Heartless Palace for a while, and then go straight home.
Once his cultivation reached the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he went home.

a few days later.
The secret room—this is the secret room that Revlon prepared for Gu Yan.
Inside the secret chamber, the white-robed youth sat on a large futon, a golden fruit floating before him. This fruit was the Bodhi Enlightenment Fruit that Gu Yan had obtained from the Five Elements Mountain Secret Realm. Qing Xuanzi forbade him to take pills, but he didn't say he couldn't eat fruit.
Gu Yan picked up the fruit in front of her and started taking crunchy bites.
It's sweet, the texture is amazing...
It tastes a lot like eating a pear.
After consuming the Bodhi Enlightenment Fruit, Gu Yan entered a meditative state. He closed his eyes, formed hand mudras, and was enveloped in a faint green light. Unlike his previous meditations, this time Gu Yan was immersed in a memory…

chaos……
In the midst of chaos, Gu Yan found himself transformed into a cloud of air, unable to make a sound. Suddenly, the scene changed, and he saw a desolate mountain.
"Waaaaah..."
The sound of a baby crying echoed through the desolate mountains. A young woman, her face filled with reluctance, placed the baby in her arms onto a huge rock.
The young woman looked to be in her early twenties. Although she was beautiful, she looked haggard. Her hands were rough and covered with small scars. Her clothes were stained with pudding and had faded from washing.
Beside the woman stood a young man, dressed in a brown short-sleeved shirt, his skin dark, his trousers patched, and the tattered parts of his clothes unrepaired. He looked at what appeared to be the woman's husband, and upon seeing the crying baby, his face also showed pain and pity.
The woman looked at her child and wept bitterly.
"Child, don't blame your parents. Your parents are poor and can't afford to raise you. Don't be born into a poor family in your next life."
As she spoke, two streams of tears rolled down her face.
The infant, only a few months old, was wrapped in a tattered rag. He seemed to know his parents were about to abandon him, and he cried loudly. His cries were so heartbreaking, yet no one could change his parents' decision. The young couple looked at the crying baby, their hearts breaking, but thinking of their other children, they ultimately turned and left without looking back.
The baby was left alone here, crying incessantly, his tears soaking his swaddling clothes. The baby was exquisitely beautiful, but his eyes were lifeless and unfocused; he was born blind.
The already heavy burden of raising another child for impoverished parents was compounded by his blindness. Even if they wanted to give him away, no one would take him. So, they had no choice but to cruelly abandon him in the desolate mountains to fend for himself.
Gu Yan's consciousness looked at the crying baby and suddenly realized that this was himself, and the two people who left were his biological parents from his previous life. His master had told him that he was an orphan and that his parents had died.
It turned out that his master was lying to him. He was not an orphan. In his previous life, he was not an orphan. He was just abandoned by his parents because he was born blind.
He didn't feel sad and quickly accepted the fact, after all, he already had loving parents in this life.
The baby's cries attracted wolves. A male wolf came looking for food and saw the baby.
The male wolf approached the infant, and just as the baby was about to perish, a beam of azure light suddenly descended from the sky. When the light dimmed, an aged Taoist priest stood there. This priest had white eyebrows and white hair; although he looked very old, he possessed an extraordinary air, exuding an air of otherworldly wisdom and the demeanor of a reclusive sage.
Master...
Gu Yan tried to shout, but he couldn't make a sound.
The old Taoist priest simply swept his whisk lightly, and the male wolf fearfully took a few steps back before walking away on its own.
The old Taoist priest picked up the crying baby, and the adorable little baby stopped crying as soon as he was held.
The old Taoist priest looked at the baby in his arms. The baby was very cute, but its eyes were lifeless. He could tell at a glance that the baby was born blind. Looking at the tattered swaddling clothes wrapped around the baby, and then at the baby's eyes, he immediately guessed why the little one had been abandoned.
For a poor family, raising a child is difficult enough, let alone a child born with a disability.
