"Haha, those who used to talk about Master Gu Yao's four spiritual roots have been slapped in the face now. They also said that no matter how talented Master Gu Yao is in alchemy, he will be held back by his spiritual roots. What is the current level of cultivation of those who said these things?"
"Senior Brother Chi is also very good. He built his foundation very early. I heard that he didn't even use foundation-building pills when he built his foundation. Maybe Senior Brother Chi is a genius with only a single spiritual root. It's really enviable."
"But a genius like Senior Brother Chi also chose to stay with Master Gu Yao, which shows that Master Gu Yao is still better!" The person who said this is clearly a brain-dead fan of Gu Yao, standing on Gu Yao's side without any principles.
"In fact, Tian Feirong and Wei Zhengfei beside Master Gu Yao are also very good. Their cultivation speed has left us far behind. No wonder so many people want to get close to Master Gu Yao. Now that Master Gu Yao has spread the word that he wants to recruit followers, there must be a lot of people rushing to join him."
"So it is not an exaggeration to say that Master Gu Yao is the number one among young alchemists."
"That's right. The two disciples of Master Hu were not as good as Master Gu Yao to begin with, let alone now that they are useless. Not to mention refining pills, even cultivation has become a problem. I never thought that such a thing would happen in Cuiyan Valley. These two people are too unlucky."
"That's right. It had a bright future, but who would have thought it would end in the middle of the journey? However, Master Gu Yao respects Master Hu very much, so let's not talk about it any more."
As soon as Gu Yao came out of retreat, he heard many people talking about Cuiyan Valley. Did Master Hu's two disciples get into trouble and become useless? Gu Yao was very surprised. Was it really just bad luck and an accident?
Gu Yao ran to Xingyue Chamber of Commerce and happened to meet Lu Qiusheng who had just returned from outside. He was also staying with his senior brother Jiang Yan. He was like Jiang Yan's tail. Wherever Jiang Yan went, he followed.
"Little Junior Brother Gu, you are here. Have you used up those spiritual herbs again? Just tell me how many you need. Don't bother me." Lu Qiu Sheng saw Gu Yao coming in, and he sat there and waved lazily at Gu Yao. Gu Yao saw that Zhou Li was driven aside and did hard labor without saying anything. Anyway, with Lu Qiu Sheng's family around, he couldn't expect to have a peaceful life.
"No," Gu Yao didn't think it was strange, and smiled and said, "I came to inquire about Cuiyan Valley. I think the information here is the most comprehensive."
Before Lu Qiu Sheng could reply, Zhou Li came over and said, "I know, I know, Master Gu Dan, let me tell you."
"What do you want to do? Go and do your thing." Lu Qiu Sheng drove him away.
"Be good, let Zhou Li stay. Next time you go out, take Zhou Li with you to train." Jiang Yan patted Lu Qiusheng on the head, and the latter immediately became obedient. He reluctantly followed his senior brother's suggestion and kept Zhou Li. However, Zhou Li's scalp was numb. Go out with Lu Qiusheng to train? Is Senior Brother Jiang really doing this for his own good? He wanted to cry but had no tears. Is there still a chance for him to come back alive?
Jiang Yan comforted Lu Qiusheng, and then turned around to greet Shang Guyao. Without Zhou Li saying anything, Jiang Yan told Guyao about the changes in Cuiyan Valley.
"Sang Shu, the eldest disciple of Hu Valley Master, learned that a very rare natural treasure had appeared in a dangerous place. Sang Shu was worried about letting others go, and that the natural treasure must be used as soon as it was picked, otherwise the medicinal properties would be lost, so he went there in person. Cuiyan Valley also arranged a lot of people to protect him. But unexpectedly, Sang Shu was attacked by a monster during the fight. After he was brought back to Cuiyan Valley, it was discovered that his dantian was broken. Not to mention practicing alchemy
, he could not even maintain his original cultivation. His spiritual power kept leaking out, and sooner or later he would become an ordinary mortal."
"Coincidentally, not long after Sang Xie's accident, Master Hu's second disciple Wan Siqing accidentally exploded her furnace while refining pills. When she was rescued, it was discovered that it was not her dantian that was injured but her spiritual consciousness and sea of consciousness. If this injury cannot be healed, her situation may not be much better than Sang Xie's. This situation spread outside, and everyone said that Master Hu had bad luck, as his two disciples had successively met with accidents. However, there are still many people who want to send their children to Cuiyan Valley to worship Master Hu."
“This…” Gu Yao was stunned, “It’s so unfortunate.”
These two injuries can certainly be cured, but for cultivators, especially those from Tianlin Continent, the slim hope brings nothing but despair. None of the elixirs that can be used for treatment are lower than the eighth-grade elixirs. Moreover, Tianlin Continent may not be able to gather all those spiritual materials. Even if it can, will Cuiyan Valley and the forces behind them be willing to pay such a huge price for them?
Jiang Yan also felt sympathy: "Yes, it's too unfortunate. If it was just one person, it would be fine, but both of them have suffered such irreparable injuries. Master Hu has nurtured them for so many years, but he didn't expect them to be destroyed in an instant." Gu Yao couldn't suppress the strange emotions in his heart. After finding out the news, he said goodbye and left.
Jiang Yan looked at Gu Yao's hurried back, with a thoughtful look on his face. Did Junior Brother Gu Yao think that the changes in Cuiyan Valley were abnormal? If it was not an accident, then someone deliberately targeted those two disciples and wanted to destroy them? Who did it? Was it for Master Hu or...
Jiang Yan didn't dare to think about the next thought. If it was the latter, he didn't know what bottom line these two people had touched. As for what kind of person Master Hu was, anyone who had met him knew that he could be called a good person.
Gu Yao had just returned to the yard when he saw Tian Feirong and the little fat man coming out. Now they were both at the seventh level of Qi Refining, high-level Qi Refining cultivators, but the little fat man looked a little reluctant. Tian Feirong said something to him, but he looked confused, obviously he didn't hear what the other party said clearly.
"What's wrong with you?" Tian Feirong looked at the little fat man curiously. He seemed to be heartless at ordinary times, but from time to time, something would happen, which made people confused.
The little fat man snapped his fingers and said, "There are some things I can't figure out. Oh, even if I tell you, you won't understand. Gu Yao is back. I have something to talk to Gu Yao about." The little fat man left Tian Feirong and ran away. Tian Feirong was left standing there and could only grit his teeth. He was really ungrateful. What do you mean he won't understand even if you tell him? Nonsense!
"Gu Yao..." The little fat man looked at Gu Yao, hesitant to speak.
Gu Yao shook his head helplessly and said, "Come with me." After entering Gu Yao's room, Gu Yao poured two cups of tea, one of which was placed in front of the little fat man, and continued the previous topic, "Are you worried about the situation in Cuiyan Valley? I just went to Xingyue Chamber of Commerce to ask Brother Jiang and learned some information."
Gu Yao told the news he heard from Jiang Yan truthfully: "... Outsiders all say that those two people are unlucky, but I think it's a bit strange. Little fat man, don't you really want to go back and take a look? If our Tianfu Academy is not far away from Cuiyan Valley, maybe we can find out more information and help you judge."
"Actually, there is one thing I didn't tell you. When Valley Master Hu came to our academy, after I finished talking to him about alchemy, I mentioned a little more about the situation of Young Valley Master Hu. Even if I didn't know you, I felt that the rumors about Young Valley Master Hu were mostly just hearsay, and seemed a little exaggerated. Maybe, Valley Master Hu took it to heart and went back to investigate."
The little fat man didn't expect there would be such a part. He stood up suddenly, but sat back down. After several times of this, he couldn't make up his mind whether to go back and take a look.
In fact, after hearing that the two people were useless, the little fat man felt very happy. When he was in the valley, he was a waste in the eyes of others. Now these two geniuses have fallen into people who are more useless than him. He really wants to go back and see their faces now.
But he still didn't like the atmosphere of Cuiyan Valley. As long as he was in Cuiyan Valley, he couldn't change his identity as the young master of the valley. The disciples and elders always looked at him with picky and disgusted eyes. However, the two years in Tianfu Academy were the most relaxing two years for him. No one knew his identity, and no one looked at him with special eyes. He was extremely free and relaxed. Moreover, thanks to Gu Yao, his cultivation level improved rapidly.
If he stayed in Cuiyan Valley, all this would be impossible. The little fat man was very clear about this point, and now his mentality was much calmer.
The little fat boy also hoped that his grandfather would find out the truth for him and punish the two men, but he was afraid that he was overthinking. However, he still had some hope in his heart. He thought about it and said, "Actually, there is a way to see if it was my grandfather who did it. You know why I left Cuiyan Valley. It was because of a woman. The family behind her reported it to my grandfather, and the elders of Cuiyan Valley all thought that I had a bad character, so my grandfather punished me."
He did not make any excuses at the time, because he knew that even if he said it, no one would believe him, including his grandfather. They all believed that he was a criminal. It was because of this incident that he deepened his desire to leave Cuiyan Valley.
If his grandfather believed him, he would investigate the matter, so he could find out something by just checking the woman's situation. Thinking of this, the fat boy's heartbeat quickened.
Gu Yao agreed. “That’s right. We have to check it out. Otherwise, no matter what happens in that family, it will never be reported to us. After all, they are not as important as the two disciples of Valley Master Hu.” If those two people were not the direct disciples of Valley Master Hu, their news would not have been spread so widely. No one would pay attention to other insignificant little people. “You go and check it out yourself. Just tell me what you need. Valley Master Hu has taught me without reservation, and I also hope to do something for him.”
The little fat man blinked and turned his head to hide the heat in his eyes. Gu Yao didn’t need to explain it so specifically. If it wasn’t for himself, why would he say those words in front of his grandfather? He was so lucky to meet Gu Yao and his party when he left Cuiyan Valley.
"It's just strange, why did it take so long to cook it?" Gu Yao said in surprise.
