Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Liu, and asked in surprise, "Can the spirit vein be expanded?"
Zhang Liu nodded and said, "Yes, you heard it right. It's about expanding the spirit veins! That's why so many people come to this desert. Although the environment is indeed a bit harsh, if you are lucky enough, you can still get great opportunities."
"Tsk tsk tsk, Desert Ganoderma, a dual-attribute elixir. I'm really curious about what this thing looks like!"
Gu Yuan touched his chin and thought about other things as he walked.
"Hey, I've only heard of this kind of thing, and I don't know what it looks like. After all, although this thing is not rare, there are not many people who are lucky enough to pick it. This thing may depend on chance!" Zhang Liu said with a sigh.
"So that's how it is. By the way, does this thing's ability to expand the spiritual veins have any restrictions on the realm?" Gu Yuan suddenly asked.
"I really don't understand this. After all, this kind of thing is almost out of stock. How could I know so much about it?" Zhang Liu said with a smile.
"Okay then!" Gu Yuan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
On the other side, the housekeeper Eguting and the other person were discussing something.
"Okay, let them all stop here. According to the point marked on the map, our first destination should be ahead."
Gu Ting held a wool roll map in her hand, with several clear red dots marked on it.
The butler nodded and said, "Stop!"
When Gu Yuan and Zhang Liu in front heard the voice, they stopped immediately and turned to look at the housekeeper in confusion.
"Okay, let's stop here. What you need to do next is to guard here!" said the butler.
Everyone cast a puzzled look at him, but it was obvious that the butler had no intention of explaining.
"Miss, are you taking them both with you?"
The housekeeper looked at Gu Ting and said.
"Well! Don't worry, there shouldn't be any problems." Gu Ting said.
"But this is an oasis in the desert, and the patriarch clearly stated that there might be certain dangers here. I'm afraid that just the two of them..."
"There has to be someone presiding over this place, and the things inside cannot be known to others. You know this very well. We don't have more manpower now, so there's nothing we can do!" Gu Ting said with a helpless smile.
"Alas, it's all because of those elders in the family who insisted on making this rule. Otherwise, with just the clan leader, no one could compete with the young lady. Even that Gu Tian would have to stay out of the spotlight for a while!"
"That's not the case. Father, as the patriarch, certainly holds the family's power, but those elders are no pushovers either, especially those with ulterior motives. They're eager to find something to hold against Father and oust him so they can take over! At this point, we can't let Father give them something to hold against him, or it'll be a major issue."
The housekeeper nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, that's why the young lady can't get the help of the clan leader. Otherwise, who in the Gu family can compete with the young lady?"
The butler said with some regret.
The competition in the Gu family is fierce, but the elders are not allowed to interfere, nor are they allowed to use their own power or energy to help them cheat. Once discovered, they will be disqualified from running for the clan leader.
Of course, saying it is one thing, but actually doing it is another. If they really help with some small things, their elders will turn a blind eye. But if someone dares to use his or her own power to disrupt the balance, then someone must step forward to punish the person who destroys the balance.
This is also the reason why even Miss Gu Ting from the Gu family did not receive much external help.
"Now it seems that the people I have recruited who can be used are still a bit too few. It's really a pity that I haven't been able to cultivate my own foundation!" Gu Ting said with regret.
"It is said that the people under Gu Tian are very strong. They are all people he trained or recruited over the years. It's a pity that the young lady doesn't like this by nature. Otherwise, Gu Tian wouldn't be able to show off in the Gu family!" said the housekeeper.
"That's not the case. The fact that Gu Tian was able to defeat an elder shows that his strength is absolutely genuine. With such a high level of cultivation, it's obvious that the old guys who really make decisions in the family prefer him." Gu Ting shook her head and said.
"Ah! I hope that in the future, Miss can change her mindset and cultivate more of her own team, so that she can have a greater say in the family! And she also needs to prepare to seize the right to inherit the clan leader. The clan leader has sat in this position for so many years, there is no reason why Miss can't take it."
Listening to the housekeeper's words, a smile appeared on Gu Ting's lips.
"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this. Let's carry out our own tasks first. You just stay here and watch them, leading them to eliminate the dangers around them. If anything happens, I will give you a signal and you just rush over." Gu Ting said solemnly.
"Okay! Then miss, you should pay attention to your own safety."
The housekeeper looked at the two guards beside Gu Ting and reminded them attentively: "Remember, the young lady's safety is the first priority!"
The two guards beside Gu Ting nodded calmly.
"Okay, that's enough. Just follow the young lady and keep her safe. After the mission is over, the young lady will give some rewards to those of you who have worked harder. In short, you will never be treated unfairly!" the butler said loudly.
"Thank you, Miss!!"
"Alright, both of you follow me!"
Gu Ting waved her hand, then said to the others in the team, "Stand guard here. No one is allowed to come in. Even if it's a fly, you must kill it! Do you hear me?"
"Understood!" everyone said in unison.
Gu Yuan stood aside, discussing some irrelevant things with Zhang Liu.
"Do you think this Miss Gu will have many admirers?"
"I think so. After all, she is the daughter of the Gu family and is quite powerful. What's more important is that the Gu family is powerful. There is a reason why the Gu family is so powerful. From what I know, there should be some relationship between the Gu family and the four major forces. Just think about how powerful the four major forces are? And yet the Gu family is actually connected to them."
