Gu Lan did not pay much attention to the old man's respectful gesture, quickly stating his purpose for being there. As Gu Lan spoke, the old man furrowed his brow in deep thought.
Seeing the man in contemplation, Gu Lan did not rush him. This decision indeed needed careful consideration.
After a moment, the old man slowly raised his head and glanced at Gu Lan. With a serious expression, he spoke:
"We shall stay here."
Gu Lan was not surprised by his decision. He nodded calmly, respecting the old man's choice.
"Very well."
With that, Gu Lan's hands moved, and several hundred cultivation methods appeared before the old man. The old man looked at them in confusion, while Gu Lan spoke slowly:
"I will leave you some methods to help with your cultivation."
"After I leave, I will set up a barrier in this secret place. If one day you wish to leave, you can open it."
