286 Fortunately, the leader of Tianshui Sect never had any shame
Under the leadership of Wu Tianqing, Jiang Yichen successfully avoided various traps in the Wu clan's territory and came to Wu Chu's residence.
As the clan leader, Wu Chu lived on a separate small island within the territory.
There is a not-so-wide strait between the Wu clan's main island and the small island where the Wu Chu live.
The sea surface looks calm, but in fact there are turbulent undercurrents, hiding many poisonous insects and formations.
Anyone who trespasses without Wu Chu's consent will be attacked.
Wu Tianqing walked to the edge of the main island and stopped, shouting to the small island: "Patriarch, Sect Master Jiang is here."
The calm sea surface began to ripple, and wide green kelp emerged from beneath the water and spread out on the surface, forming a floating path leading to a small island in the blink of an eye.
"I can go there by myself, you go and do your work." Jiang Yichen sent Wu Tianqing away, gathered his energy, and stepped onto the floating road.
There are water droplets remaining on the kelp that make up the path, reflecting brilliant light under the sun.
As Jiang Yichen stepped forward, the duckweed road floated back and forth in the water, as if it would disintegrate at any time.
Jiang Yichen walked steadily on it the whole time, without being affected by the undulating "road surface" under his feet.
Wu Tianqing stood on the shore and saw this scene, feeling admiration.
Ordinary people might not be able to see it, but as a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage, Wu Tianqing could tell at a glance that this duckweed road made of kelp was full of stagnant spiritual power.
Every step forward by the person walking on it requires him to use his own body as a blade to break through the huge spiritual power that is like a mountain in front of him.
This is one of the protective measures arranged by Wu Chu. Especially when he is refining Gu, these protective measures will be enhanced to the extreme.
Normally, anyone who enters the small island at this time will have a violent collision with the spiritual power on the duckweed road. In severe cases, it may be difficult to move.
Not only was Jiang Yichen not obstructed at all, but he did not even cause the slightest impact on the outside world when he broke through the solidified spiritual power. This shows how profound his cultivation is and how accurately he controls the spiritual power.
It was not until Jiang Yichen successfully stepped onto the small island and felt the solid land under his feet that a spiritual power storm arose behind him.
The sea water was rolled up thousands of feet high. Jiang Yichen casually waved a spiritual power backwards, and the tall and turbulent waves were defeated. The broad-leaved kelp that formed the duckweed road was broken by the sword energy, turning into countless fragments and flying in all directions.
Jiang Yichen didn't care much and walked towards the cabin in the center of the island.
Wu Tianqing watched him go away with a smile on his face. He used his spiritual power to roll up the kelp floating on the sea, then turned around and left in a happy mood.
These kelps are high-level spiritual plants cultivated by Wu Chu. Low-level cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage can increase their cultivation by at least several decades by eating a bite.
However, kelp is usually hidden deep in the seabed and is difficult to harvest.
I got a big bargain today and had kelp soup tonight!
Great tonic!
…
The small wooden house in the middle of the island may not look big, but it is actually a different world inside and is as spacious as a large palace.
Jiang Yichen walked to the door of the wooden house and stopped, his eyes fixed on the mottled doorpost beside it.
A slight buzzing sound came from the old doorpost, and a moth that had merged with the wooden pillar fluttered its wings slightly and fluttered in front of Jiang Yichen.
"I thought you would go straight in like last time." The moth laughed foolishly.
Jiang Yichen sneered: "I'm not blind. This deadly moth is standing right at the door. How can I not see it?"
The last time he ignored the poisonous insects guarding the door was purely because Wu Chu tricked him and told him not to pay attention to these poisonous insects.
In fact, these poisonous insects will indiscriminately attack anyone except Wu Chu. Unless the visitor stops at the door and obtains further permission from Wu Chu, he can enter the house safely.
Jiang Yichen has superb skills and can easily face hundreds of deadly moths attacking him at the same time. Not only did he escape easily, but he also killed all the deadly moths that attacked him with one sword.
The problem was that Wu Chu took the opportunity to extort money, demanding a high price for every deadly moth he killed.
Fortunately, Jiang Yichen, as the leader of Tianshui Sect, is shameless and will not pay back a penny of the debt.
Anyway, his cultivation level is high, and Wu Chu can't beat him or rob him. The Dark Sea Islands are a lawless place, not subject to any laws, so there is no place to file a complaint even if one wants to.
The death-killing moth turned and flew into the house, leading the way for Jiang Yichen.
The wings flapped at high speed, making tiny sounds. Wu Chu chatted with Jiang Yichen through the deadly moth: "You Tianshui Sect have been very quiet recently. I haven't heard of you making any big noise for a long time. It's a bit boring."
"Our Tianshui Sect is a famous and upright sect, not an evil sect. How come we always get into trouble?" Jiang Yichen said righteously.
Wu Chu sneered and cursed, "How shameless."
"That's because you have a deep misunderstanding of Tianshui Sect. All of our disciples in Tianshui Sect are good cultivators who abide by the law." Jiang Yichen replied casually, carefully looking at the decorations and items in the wooden house.
Wu Chu is not in the Wu clan for many years, and the furnishings in the house are not much different from when Jiang Yichen visited last time.
In addition, the tone and content of Wu Chu's chat with him were similar to before, and it didn't seem like someone was impersonating him.
It couldn't be that the Wu Chu he first met and interacted with was a fake, right?
This thought flashed through Jiang Yichen's mind, and he frowned slightly, trying not to show it.
As he was talking, the deadly moth leading the way stopped in front of a wooden door.
The wooden door was entangled by countless vines. As Jiang Yichen approached, these vines twisted and retreated like chains, hiding in the narrow gaps around the door frame.
The wooden door creaked open, and the room was dark.
Such pure darkness cannot cause any effect on the vision of a cultivator in the fusion stage. Jiang Yichen can clearly see various bottles and jars placed in the room, and can sense various kinds of poisonous insects stretching their bodies or fighting ferociously in the bottles and jars.
Wu Chu stood in the deepest part of the room, fiddling with a half-man-high celadon pottery jar and sprinkling medicinal powder into it.
Jiang Yichen stepped into the house, and the wooden door closed automatically behind him. The vines hidden in the gap of the door rushed out and quickly wrapped around the door layer by layer, making this Gu refining room merge into one with the wall.
Some Gu worms cannot see the light, so Jiang Yichen did not light a lamp and walked towards Wu Chu in the dark: "You are so mysterious, what kind of Gu are you refining?"
"Guess." Wu Chu turned around and gave him a strange smile.
Jiang Yichen glanced into the half-human-high celadon pottery jar in front of him. There was a formation drawn on the bottom of the jar, and it was filled with the corpses of poisonous insects and precious spiritual plants that had not been eaten yet. Only two wounded poisonous insects were still confronting each other in the sea of corpses and blood.
Even insects have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. The two poisonous insects were too badly injured to dare to launch another round of attack.
However, when raising Gu, only the most powerful last Gu worm can be kept. If one cannot fight until the last moment before the formation and spiritual plants become ineffective, the Gu refining will fail.
The medicinal powder that Wu Chu just added can heal the wounds on the two poisonous insects, so that the insects can launch the next round of attack as soon as possible.
Jiang Yichen knew nothing about the art of Gu-making, so how could he tell at a glance the Gu-making techniques of a top Gu-making master like Wu Chu: "If I could guess, I would be the leader of your Wu clan."
He looked around and found that the furnishings in the Gu-making room were almost the same as when he visited here a hundred years ago, and he became more and more confused.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yichen decided to change the subject to test Wu Chu: "Last time you said you were going to the Hehuan Sect to find the Hehuan Fairy, why are you back now?"
