Qi Guze frowned, clearly disapproving of the old man's act of sending him away. The old man sat on the ground and chuckled twice, "I didn't expect you to be so greedy in this world, not taking advantage of the opportunity."
Qi Guze pursed his lips, remaining silent as he watched the old man.
At the same time, for some unknown reason, several more spirit beasts appeared. These were on a completely different level from the spirit beasts that had surrounded them before. He drew his sword and dealt with all of them in a few moves.
The old man watched in disbelief. For him, dealing with these spirit beasts was not a problem, but it was certainly not that simple. In other words, the young man's cultivation level was definitely above his own.
He had never seen Qi Guze make a move before, and now that he had, the shock in his heart lingered for a long time.
After dealing with the spirit beasts, Qi Guze took out their crystals and weighed them in his palm. The old man asked curiously, "Who are you? Why have I never seen you in this area before?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Guze looked at the old man, thought for a moment, and then said without lying, "I come from another world. I've only been here for a few days, so naturally you wouldn't know."
The old man's eyes widened, his shock clearly visible. "Just a few days? You've already mastered the art of using spiritual power so skillfully? And it seems your strength is quite considerable."
The old man was very shocked and made no attempt to hide it.
Qi Guze smiled and said, "It's just good luck; I got a bit of an opportunity."
Before arriving here, Qi Guze had already begun learning the cultivation methods here. After arriving, he made rapid progress, and no one could compare to him.
Moreover, he has a powerful mentor behind him.
After exchanging a few words, Qi Guze put the crystal he had obtained back into his pocket and asked, "Have you thought it through? What do you need my help with?"
The old man didn't speak at first, thinking that Qi Guze was about the same age as his disciples and couldn't possibly accomplish anything for him. But now it seems that he underestimated the strength of the man in front of him.
After a moment of internal struggle, he said, "I can't remember for the time being. Why don't you come with me back to the sect I established and see my disciples?"
“There’s food in the sect, so you don’t have to eat these unhealthy things all day long.” When the old man said this, there was a hint of disgust in his eyes, and he even looked like he wanted to vomit.
Qi Guze found it amusing and explained, "I don't only eat this. It's just that I've been in the wild the whole time, and these things are easier to preserve, so I prepared a lot. I didn't expect we would be trapped for three or four days."
Qi Guze felt it was acceptable, probably because his mind was never on eating; he was focused on improving his cultivation.
The old man didn't care about anything else. He simply invited Qi Guze to his sect's headquarters to ask for his help in the future. The timeframe wouldn't be long, within a month, and it would involve a trip to Qingcheng Academy.
Qi Guze initially didn't want to agree, intending to give something as a reward, but when he heard that the destination was Qingcheng Academy, he surprisingly didn't refuse.
His destination was also in the direction of Qingcheng Academy, so he didn't mind traveling with them for a while. It would just mean staying a few more days and cultivating here for a couple more days. "Okay."
Qi Guze agreed. On the way back, the old man suddenly thought of something and asked, "What's your name? It's been so long and I haven't asked you your name yet. We're about to arrive at the sect, and I need to give everyone an explanation."
Qi Guze thought for a moment and then made up a name on the spot, "Shi Zhi Yu".
"It's a nice name, just like you, refined and cultured." Qi Guze smiled but didn't say anything.
And so, Qi Guze was brought into the sect by the old man. Yu Er fell in love with him the moment she saw him. She had never seen such a handsome man in this place, and his temperament was unlike that of an ordinary person. He was someone even Jin Nan, the senior brother, could not compare to.
Thinking about it this way, the light in Yu Er's eyes flickered, but it was all love for Qi Gu Ze.
During his time at the sect, Qi Guze used his healing skills to directly secure the position of senior disciple. This was mainly because the old man wanted to take advantage of him and make him his disciple, so that he would feel proud when he talked about having such an awesome disciple.
After much thought, it wasn't a good idea to make Qi Guze a junior disciple. It was enough for him to enjoy this benefit alone. If others got involved, and they were angered, it would be a loss for him.
So the old man had this in mind, which is why he made Qi Guze the senior disciple of the sect. Jin Nan was a quiet person who could not express himself and could only respond. When the old man brought up this matter, he felt a little uncomfortable, but he never expressed it, as if his thoughts were not important.
The old man didn't notice anything unusual about his eldest disciple, and happily continued to improve his cultivation. This was entirely because he had felt utterly ashamed under Qi Guze's gaze during those days in the scroll.
Therefore, he wanted to improve his cultivation level and make the space in his scroll more abundant.
During his time at the sect, Qi Guze was taciturn and often went out to cultivate, and he didn't interact much with the others.
He happened to encounter Yu Er in danger outside and helped him out. The group became more familiar with each other, and everyone dared to talk to him, especially Yu Er.
In Qi Guze's eyes, Yu Er was nothing more than a callow girl, almost like his own child. He had never had any improper thoughts about Yu Er, and he was also ten years older than her.
So he assumed that Yu Er also treated him like an older brother. Later, he realized something was wrong and wanted to distance himself from Yu Er, when he happened to meet Xu Yuehuai.
At that time, the time he had agreed upon with the old man had arrived, and he was about to set off. He found it quite amusing that he now had several tails following him.
As he traveled, several tails followed him. He had originally found a place to rest and wait for them to come.
This was also the old man's instruction, saying that they should play around with the little things along the way, and that they should just consider it practice. All that was needed was Qi Guze's help to get through the Ghost Realm.
Qi Guze, annoyed that they were walking too slowly, went ahead and waited for them outside the Ghost Domain.
But unexpectedly, she met the person she had been longing for day and night.
Fortunately, he was in disguise at the time.
From the moment he came into this world, he knew that Xu Yuehuai was very close to him, but at that time, he didn't know how to face Xu Yuehuai or how to tell her about what happened back then. Just thinking about the look in Xu Yuehuai's eyes before she died made his heart ache.
