With the blessing of the "Nine Nines Returning to One Formation," the crystal box naturally rose into the air, spinning rapidly, releasing more and more black energy, which Tuantuan devoured with great pleasure. As more and more black energy was purified, Ming Yuyan's strength rapidly declined, and she was soon captured by Ye Hui and his men. Tao Xian and Xing Xian also stopped their attacks.
Gu Can and Ji Jinfang immediately organized the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages to replace each other in an orderly manner to avoid excessive spiritual power loss that would damage their foundation. Except for Gu Can, everyone else could be replaced without disrupting the formation, because the crystal box was activated by Gu Can using the power of the mountain god, and Gu Can was the core of the formation.
For seven days, Baihua City, aided by various cultivators, regained its former prosperity. The crystal box finally ceased emitting dark energy. Gu Can unsealed it, and a transparent bead, half the size of a baby's fist, rose from it and flew into the sky. The crystal box itself dissipated into smoke. Tuantuan, overfed, went back to sleep.
"Cancan!" also fainted. Gu Changming caught him, and Gu Can slept for three days before waking up. Seeing Gu Can come out, the anxious people gathered around to ask about his well-being. After a long conversation, Gu Can rested for two more days before leisurely going out for shopping. It was a pity for Taoxian and Xingxian. It was so difficult for plants and trees to become spirits. It took ten thousand years for them to get the chance to transform.
The resentment of the entire Baihua City was purged, and two small seedlings sprouted in the place where the peach and apricot trees had once stood. Gu Can, with the benevolence of heaven, discovered a trace of the true spirit left by the Peach and Apricot Fairies. He carefully implanted it into the saplings and set up a protective formation in their place, hoping for their speedy return.
"City Lord?" Gu Can was stunned by the news. Due to Gu Can's outstanding performance this time, and the strong support of Mingyi Sect represented by Ye Hui and Lishan Sect represented by Han Hao, Baihua City belonged to Luoxue Sect, and Gu Changming became the new City Lord of Baihua City.
"No, Baihua City is too far away from Luoxue Sect and it is not easy to manage." Gu Can said.
"So we negotiated and made an exchange with Lishan Sect. Lishan Sect gave us Luocheng, which is near Luoxue Sect, and also gave Luoxue Sect twenty drops of night-blooming clematis flower dew every year." Gu Changming replied.
"This is a good idea. Luocheng is remote, not as prosperous as Baihua City, and lacks any local specialties. However, it's close to the Luoxue Sect, making it easier to manage. Furthermore, with our Luoxue Sect's strength, we can protect it. Unlike Baihua City, we'd be like a child holding a gold brick, which wouldn't be appropriate." Gu Can nodded. Ji Jinfang and Gu Changming weren't greedy either. Their primary mission now was to survive and develop the Luoxue Sect.
The family of three reunited and spent a few days together, sharing what they had learned. Then they went their separate ways to travel and experience the wonders of the world of cultivation.
During the second year's sect competition, Chu Yan and his companions were particularly excited. Tian Jiu and other influential figures who had brought in funds to join the sect almost all came out to Mingyi Sect. This sect competition was indeed different from the previous small-scale competitions. Gu Can fully witnessed the style of the disciples from various sects. However, she found it a little strange that everyone had to pass by her and greet her with a smile. She didn't know any of them.
Aren't the disciples of the Sword Sect and the Medical Immortal Valley, in particular, notorious for their aloofness? Fortunately, after the competition, everything returned to normal. Tianjiu and the others returned to the Luoxue Sect to instruct the disciples and build the sect. Gu Changming and Ji Jinfang had been traveling extensively and had encountered a few individuals with auras, but they easily dealt with them and brought them back to the sect as disciples.
Gu Can and Chu Yan's four-man team also traveled the continent, entering numerous secret realms, large and small. The four of them in the Changyue Secret Realm of Yaya's Changyue Dynasty also reaped rich rewards. Gu Can became the first of the four to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and later, at the age of 150, he broke through to the Spiritual Transformation stage, making those so-called geniuses seem somewhat eclipsed.
"Senior Brother, Luoxue Sect is handed over to you. You must also work hard to become a god as soon as possible. We will be waiting for you in the Holy Land!" After Gu Can broke through the God Transformation stage, she decided to go to the Holy Land with her parents. Moreover, Gu Changming and Ji Jinfang are now at the peak of the Fusion Stage, just to wait for her to go to the mysterious Holy Land together.
"Don't worry, we will find you soon." Chu Yan smiled.
"That's right, the people in the Holy Land are very difficult to get along with. You must stay close to your master and mistress, and don't get fooled by them." Xiao Ming also warned.
"Also, I must be the best to you!" Ye Qingyan pulled Gu Can and repeatedly asked Gu Can to promise that he must always be the best to her.
"Yes, yes, I promise." After comforting a group of fellow junior brothers and sisters represented by Yaya, Gu Can finally set off for the Holy Land with Gu Changming and Ji Jinfang, taking Lao Huang who was determined to keep up with them.
"Old Huang, what kind of breed are you? You can really survive." Gu Can touched Old Huang's ear, puzzled.
"Woof (Mind your own business)" Old Huang yelled, turned around, faced his butt towards Gu Can, and lay down to sleep.
"Pfft." Ji Jinfang and Gu Changming watched in amusement. Gu Can had been agonizing over this question for over a hundred years. It looked like a Chinese pastoral dog, but it didn't look old. You could say it was a unique breed or had a high level of cultivation, but it couldn't even transform or speak.
This Old Huang has lived for at least two hundred years. He has eaten a lot of spiritual food and fruits. He has become intelligent. Even if he is a pig, he should have some cultivation. But this Old Huang has no other ability except the ability to survive!
"Okay, if something really happens to Old Huang, won't you be the one who suffers the most?" Ji Jinfang said while pulling Gu Can.
"I wouldn't," Gu Can said, shaking his head proudly. He soon forgot about it and cuddled up with Old Huang, chatting and laughing. The family then slowly sailed on the spirit boat. Until that day.
