After seeing Gu Yuan off, Kelu's expression gradually became serious.
For Kru, the City Lord's Mansion is definitely a dangerous place.
Not to mention the already strict defense of the City Lord's Mansion, His Royal Highness the Prince and the Princess now also live in the City Lord's Mansion, so you can imagine that the defense there will be improved by several levels.
"This is the first mission given to me by Master Yuan. I must complete it even if it means risking my life!"
Having made up his mind, Kru returned to the restaurant. He wanted to use the elixir to break through to the realm of spiritual disciple.
In the room, Kru sat cross-legged, adjusted his state, and swallowed the pill in one gulp.
He immediately circulated his spiritual energy, and the light gray spiritual energy surrounded his body like mist. The elixir turned into a hot current and rushed towards the spiritual vein. Kru calmly used the spiritual energy to guide it to extend to his limbs.
Gradually, the suction force around him became stronger and stronger, the light gray mist gradually became thicker, and finally the spiritual energy turned into a black torrent that rushed into Kru's body.
Kelu frowned. This was the spiritual energy infusion before the breakthrough. On the one hand, it could cleanse the body of impurities and strengthen the physique. On the other hand, it expanded the spiritual veins and increased the upper limit of its spiritual energy storage.
After an unknown amount of time, the black torrent gradually slowed down, and a peaceful look appeared on Kru's face.
At a certain moment, the spiritual energy outside the body was completely absorbed by the body. Kru slowly opened his eyes, clenched his fists, and felt the exponentially increased spiritual energy capacity in the spiritual veins. Kru felt very fulfilled.
"Now that I have reached the spiritual realm, it's time to prepare."
After leaving the restaurant, Kru headed towards the north of the city.
“Ding… Ding…”
In the iron shop in the north of the city, an old man lowered his head and focused on hammering the iron on the table.
"Old Wang, you're still busy."
The old man didn't even raise his head. While hammering the iron, he said, "Kru, where have you been playing again?"
"Hey, I didn't go anywhere. Something happened."
"What can you possibly do? Hey, little Kru, you're not a kid anymore. Your parents passed away a long time ago, and it's only me, your old friend, who's looking after you. Don't mess around all day. I'm old, too, and I don't have any children anyway. If things really don't work out, you can take over my iron shop. At least you won't starve to death!"
Old Wang raised his head, wiped the sweat from his face, and spoke earnestly.
"Okay, okay, forget it. I don't want to be a blacksmith for a living all my life!"
Kru waved his hands hurriedly. He didn't want to be a blacksmith all his life.
Old Wang put down the hammer and said sternly, "What else can you do if you don't work as a blacksmith? Practice? Can you compare to those disciples from the clans and sects?"
"Old Wang, I know you're doing this for my own good. But I'm not willing to be an ordinary person. I want to be a strong man, someone respected by others."
"Forget it, whatever you want!"
Old Wang interrupted Kru and swung his hammer to continue forging iron. He had heard these words so many times that his ears were callused.
"Hey, Old Wang, there's a reason why I said that. I met a noble person today. Look, I'm a spiritualist now!" Kru stepped forward, hugged Old Wang's shoulders, and said with a smile.
"Hey? A distinguished person? Did he help you break through?" Old Wang asked in surprise. He knew that Kruka had been in the spiritual disciple realm for more than a year.
"Hehe, otherwise why would you say he is a noble person."
"Good boy, I was wondering why you were so reluctant to take over my iron shop. It turns out that you met an important person and he doesn't think much of my iron shop." Old Wang sighed and said.
"Tsk, I'm not unwilling to do this for just one or two days, okay? I won't talk to you anymore, I have to go first."
Patting Old Wang on the shoulder, Kelu quietly bowed to him and murmured, "Old Wang, thank you for taking care of me all these years. If I don't die this time, I will honor you well when I come back."
"What are you talking about? Why don't you get out of here?"
"Okay, I'll get out of here."
Kru smiled and left happily.
…
At the city gate, Gu Yuan looked at the two teams of soldiers checking the people leaving the city one by one, touched his face, and couldn't help but sneer.
"Hey! It's your turn. What are you looking at?"
Gu Yuan quickly caught up and was questioned by the soldiers.
The soldier held a portrait in his hand and kept comparing Gu Yuan with the person in the portrait.
Gu Yuan took a quick glance at it, and it turned out that the painting looked quite like him. Unfortunately, he had changed his face now, and the soldiers couldn't recognize him.
"Okay, get over there. Next one!"
"etc!"
Just as Gu Yuan turned around and prepared to leave the city, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.
I was shocked. Was I discovered?
Gu Yuan remained calm, slowly turned around and looked at the man.
It was the general I met at the city gate last time.
"What's your name?" asked the general.
"Yuan Hao." Gu Yuan answered honestly.
The general took the portrait, looked at it for a few seconds, and then handed it to the soldier.
"The surname Yuan? It's a bit rare."
"Haha, it's a bit little." Gu Yuan said.
"Okay, let them go." The general said to the soldiers.
Gu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to head out of the city.
The general looked at the back, frowned slightly, but said nothing more.
"I thought I was discovered." Gu Yuan murmured.
The outskirts of the Black Demon Mountains.
Dozens of teams are resting and preparing to enter the Black Demon Mountains again.
Gu Yuan felt a little excited as he would be spending the next few days here.
After spending tens of thousands of gold coins to exchange for some recovery pills and some insect repellent and mosquito repellent powder, Gu Yuan walked inside alone.
"Let's find a cave first and master our spiritual skills first."
