Tian Feiyang scanned Gu Yao and said in astonishment: "Fifth level of Qi Refining!"
As for Chi Chang Ye, he seemed to be about the same as the last time he saw him with his aunt.
Tian's father, who came to see him off, was also a little surprised. The qualification of the Four Spiritual Roots was equivalent to a death sentence in the eyes of cultivators. How could he advance so quickly?
Tian Ru glanced at them and said calmly: "Don't forget, they have plenty of spirit beads and elixirs, so they can pile up their cultivation. However, with such qualifications, it will be more difficult for them to advance in the future, so you don't have to be surprised."
"Yes, aunt." Tian Feiyang restrained his expression, but he was still curious in his heart. After all, Gu Yao had been in the Gu family for so many years, but he was only at the second level of Qi refining. As a result, he made rapid progress as soon as he left the Gu family. I believe this result is very embarrassing for the Gu family, and the Gu family members are the ones who can't understand it the most.
He glanced at the Gu family team a few times, and found that the expressions on their faces were either surprise or embarrassment.
After Gu Yao and Chi Changye arrived here, Tian's father arranged a better position for them, and his youngest son was happy to get along with them. He could also take care of his youngest son more along the way. Gu Yao and Chi Changye thanked Tian's father and Tian Ru, and two other elders from the Tian family accompanied them for protection.
When they joined the Tian family's team in front of the Gu family, some people in the Gu family looked as ugly as if they had eaten shit, especially when everyone else looked like they were watching a good show, which made the Gu family hate Gu Yao even more for not knowing what was good for them. They would rather follow the Tian family who was against the Gu family than accept the olive branch thrown by the Gu family.
"This idiot has brought shame to the Gu family in front of the whole town! Humph, although I don't know how he advanced to the fifth level of Qi Refining, how far can he go with his qualifications? If he leaves Yuanyang Town, he will be eaten to pieces by others!" an elder said angrily. "
I think it is probably because his good uncle secretly left some good things, which allowed him to advance so quickly, but it is too wasteful to use them on a little Qi Refining cultivator like him." Someone said sourly that if they had known that he had good things, they should not have let him leave the Gu family's territory. They didn't expect Gu Yao to be so scheming at such a young age, and he didn't show any of it in the Gu family.
"I want to see if the danger really happens, will the Tian family care about them or their own people."
"Let's go!"
The team of hundreds of people moved slowly and embarked on a journey far away from the town. The people who saw them off turned back to the town only when they could no longer see the team.
The same thing happened to Tian's father. His two sons had left, and he was a little uncomfortable without the noise of his youngest son.
When he met Boss Dong, he bowed and said, "Boss Dong, are you here to see us off too? Or are you here to join in the fun?"
Boss Dong was riding on a horse and laughed heartily, "Just to join in the fun. Maybe there are some outstanding people among these young people. I think the young people in your Tian family are all good."
"I hope Boss Dong will give you good wishes." Tian's father smiled.
After the Tian family left, Manager Fu beside Boss Dong said, "Boss, Chi Changye just left like that. Could it be that he didn't figure out the secret of the map at all?"
They had been sending people to keep an eye on Chi Changye, but they found that he had no intention of leaving and now he followed the Tian family directly to the Ascension Conference.
Boss Dong said with a gloomy face, "Maybe that guy thought the map was just a piece of torn leather and didn't take
it seriously. Or maybe he figured it out but knew his strength was limited and was very patient. Fortunately, there is more than just his piece. I guess these two pieces of leather should be indispensable."
At this time, Boss Dong had another piece of torn leather in his hand that was similar in texture to the one in Chi Chang Ye's hand. He tried his best but couldn't make this piece of torn leather change. The more he thought about it, the more hope he had. If a map can be drawn with such precious leather, the things hidden in this map cannot be ordinary. Thinking of this, his eyes became hot again. As long as Chi Chang Ye could figure it out one day, he would come to find it sooner or later.
In the Tian family's team, Chi Changye in the carriage took out a piece of torn leather from the storage bag. It was exactly the one that Boss Dong and Manager Fu were talking about.
Gu Yao asked curiously: "Why did you take this out? Why don't you try to restore this piece of leather to its original state
?"
Chi Changye explained with a smile: "Some spiritual herbs are too special. I haven't found them in the market several times. Maybe I can find them outside. I was thinking that now that I have left Yuanyang Town, maybe I will come back because of this piece of leather in the future."
He felt that this piece of leather had a connection with this place. It's not that he hadn't thought about asking the Tian family to collect those special spiritual herbs, but he knew that Dong Lao Da and his people had been keeping an eye on him. After thinking about it, he decided to give up and make plans in the future. If he missed the opportunity, it would mean that his connection with them was too shallow.
Gu Yao nodded: "Safety comes first."
Seeing a foundation-building alchemist's mansion caused such a big commotion, if this piece of leather was of great importance, it would not only attract Dong Laoda's group, but also the Tian family. He and Chi Changye would be like lambs to be slaughtered.
After setting off, Gu Yao huddled in the carriage. It was not that he was unwilling to go out, but he would be pointed at as soon as he showed up. Instead of that, he would rather stay in the carriage to read and study, and then come out to move around when the team camped, collecting plants and spiritual herbs that appeared on the roadside.
In the past, he read books in his room. The books in the Dan Pavilion had never been shown to Chi Changye. However, the journey would take at least a month, and he couldn't just sit there doing nothing. After trying once and finding that Chi Changye didn't ask him what book he was reading, Gu Yao started to read openly, seizing every opportunity to study.
Usually when Gu Yao was reading, Chi Changye would be outside controlling the horned scale horse. Because they were traveling with a large group, the trained horned scale horse would not walk around by itself, so Chi Changye often sat in front of the carriage with his eyes closed to rest. However, the second young master Tian often came to chat with Chi Changye.
After dark, the team would camp and rest, and then continue on their journey after daybreak. Although the large team moved together, each team had its own small groups, and they did not interfere with each other. Of course, the distance between them was not too far, so they could see what other teams were doing.
The Lu family camping site.
"That's Gu Yao. I don't think he's much worse than Gu Yan. I heard that Chi Shao, who was with him, was very good at talisman techniques. The thunder talismans used by the Tian family were all drawn by him. You see, he's really nice to Gu Yao. He sends the delicious food to Gu Yao first."
"That's right. I think Gu Yao has turned a disaster into a blessing this time. Some people look down on Gu Yao, but Gu Yao has a lot of people who like him. Some people think they are great and look down on Gu Yao. They talk about cousin Gu Yan all the time, but in the end, the cousin is going to enter the Changxian Gate, so how can he care about his cousin, hehe."
Knowing that Lu Minzhu could hear the noise outside in the carriage, several young ladies of the Lu family were wantonly
communicating with each They didn't care about Lu Minzhu's face at all, and they joked that she lost the sesame seeds and didn't even pick up the watermelon, but instead made a big joke.
They didn't really support Gu Yao, but used Gu Yao to step on Lu Minzhu.
Lu Minbai came over and scolded, "Shut up! All you do is gossip all day long. Do you behave like a young lady from the Lu family?" After silencing those people, she got into the carriage with food and comforted her sister, "Don't listen to their nonsense. They are jealous of you, my sister. You have lost weight."
Lu Minbai knew that the family had wronged his sister during this period, but as the family's interests were involved, he could not seek justice for his sister. He had just received a mid-grade detoxification pill from the Gu family some time ago, and he could not go to Gu Yan to say anything in a righteous manner.
Lu Minbai leaned against the carriage with a cold look on his face. He revealed a sarcastic look when he heard this: "I know what they want. They want to step on me to grab the opportunity of marriage with the Gu family. Whoever wants that marriage can take it. Do you think I would care about it?"
"Sister, you..." Lu Minbai knew that the Gu family and the Lu family were going to continue the marriage to strengthen the relationship between the two families. Originally, the candidate for marriage decided by grandfather was still my younger sister, but she and mother rejected it outright. He knew in his heart that his sister and mother could not let go of the matter of Gu Yan.
"What? Do you think that the only way for a daughter of my Lu family is to marry a man from the Gu family? Didn't Tian Ru from the Tian family also stay unmarried but still be respected? Even my grandfather had to respectfully call her 'senior' when he saw her. I also want to become a cultivator like her!" Lu Minzhu clenched her fists, with a determined light in her eyes. She would never compromise this time. Why should her daughter's whole life be manipulated by those men? So she tried her best to fight for the opportunity of this Ascension Conference, even at the cost of the grievances she had suffered.
Lu Minjue didn't expect his sister to think like this. Gu Yan's matter had such a big impact on his sister.
He stammered: "This road is not easy to walk..."
"If men can walk, why can't girls? Senior Tian Ru walked out, and walked better than many men! Brother, you don't need to persuade me anymore. I have made up my mind and will not change it." Lu Minzhu insisted. As long as she thought of what Gu Yan said to her, Lu Minzhu's determination was firm.
In the past, she gave her heart to Gu Yan. Maybe she will not be able to catch up with Gu Yan's height in the future, but she will not regret her choice. She does not want to marry other men according to the wishes of the family, just to give birth to descendants with spiritual roots.
Lu Minbai sighed, left the food and got out of the carriage. From a distance, he saw the high-spirited Gu Yan and the girls surrounding him. He felt resentful towards him. He
looked towards the Tian family camp and frowned unhappily. With Gu Yao around, he would always remind others of his sister's engagement with Gu Yao, and people would use it to make fun of his sister. So why did Gu Yao go on the road with her?
Tian Feirong turned around and came back to Gu Yao and Chi Changye. He lowered his voice and looked at Gu Yao and said, "I just found out that Lu Minzhu is here too, but the twins from the Gu family didn't come. It seems that Lu Minzhu is having a hard time in the Lu family. Even a concubine dares to laugh at her."
Gu Yao finished eating the dry food he brought and drank a sip of spiritual tea brewed with boiled water. He looked at Tian Feirong, who was excited about the show, speechlessly and said, "Second brother Tian, why are you concerned about these? What does it have to do with us whether they come or not?"
Tian Feirong was waiting for Gu Yao to speak. When he heard this, he clapped his hands and said, "It matters a lot. Don't you know that those girls from the Lu family will bring up you and..." He pointed at Chi Changye on the side,
"Brother Chi, bring it up and have a say."
"Tsk, they are using me as a shield, how can they really think I'm good?" That's why he was too lazy to get out of the carriage during the day. He also received the hostile looks from the Gu family, which was really confusing.
Tian Feirong touched his chin and said, "Yes, I heard that the two families are going to form an alliance, I guess they all want to marry into the Gu family. But Lu Minzhu seems to have changed a lot, she hasn't been seen out at night. Gu Yan is really a nobody, but so many girls are praising him." He
didn't think about it, it was Gu Yao who gave up that opportunity, what is there to be proud of.
Gu Yao shook his head. What's the point of arguing with these people? No matter whether it was Lu Minzhu or Gu Yan, he felt that he wouldn't have many opportunities to meet them in the future. Of course, if there was a chance in the future, he would still settle the account with Gu Yan. He owed it to his predecessor.
When we first left Yuanyang Town, the road was relatively safe, and the young people in the team seemed to be quite active. However, as we got further and further away from the town and deeper into the wilderness, the active atmosphere began to fade. One day, a few young men and women were hunting nearby, and one of them was almost dragged away by a demon vine. Although they were rescued by the elders of the tribe, they were still quite frightened and no longer had the mentality to go out and play.
Before they went out, the elders in the family warned them that there were many dangers in the wilderness, but they still didn't take it seriously. After experiencing it once, they realized that they underestimated the dangers outside.
When camping at night, the roars of the monsters around us made it impossible to fall asleep, and some of the young people even regretted it.
"Come on, we are about to enter the Xiongju Pass, where the terrain is complex and monsters are everywhere, and there are evil spirits lurking. Everyone, be careful not to fall behind, and immediately warn others if there is any emergency!"
