Hu Ting had a brilliant smile on his face, as if his grandson's achievement made him happier than the honor he had gained from establishing the Alchemist Guild. He said humbly, "No, no, it's all his own fault. He felt that everyone in Cuiyan Valley was too cautious with him because of me, and he couldn't get any training, so he took the initiative to leave Cuiyan Valley to train. As expected, the eagle still needs to be let out to grow. He has grown a lot outside these years. If he stayed in Cuiyan Valley, I'm afraid there would be no other way except to use spiritual materials and elixirs to help him reach the foundation-building stage in ten or twenty years."
"I know that the elders present here are all concerned about my child. When he is free to come back, I will let him come to meet the elders."
The elders knew that Hu Ting was unwilling to reveal the whereabouts of his grandson, so they smiled and passed by, saying that they were waiting to give his grandson a meeting gift.
They also had younger generations, and seeing that Hu Ting's grandson, who had the qualifications of the third spiritual root, had already established his foundation at this age,
how could they not be jealous in their hearts? They didn't know where he had experienced what kind of adventure, and they also wanted to have one for their younger generations.
The elders had never known that Hu Ting had such a funny side. They knew that you were showing off your grandson, but you had to consider their feelings. His grandson had already established his foundation at this age, but he was still not doing well in Hu Ting's words. What was their child like?
Forget it. Old Hu's life was not easy. He left behind a son who died before he knew it, and a grandson who suffered a lot in the past few years. Now let him be proud for a while.
The elders present did not keep it secret after returning. So the news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. The news that Hu Weicai had been training outside and had already established his foundation was passed back to Cuiyan Valley, shocking all the disciples in Cuiyan Valley.
In that deliberate guidance atmosphere, not many disciples liked Hu Weicai. Compared with the direct disciples of the then Valley Master Hu, he was really a far cry. Some disciples even blamed him for bringing shame to the Valley Master. His existence was simply a black spot and shame on the Valley Master.
But now, such a waste in the eyes of others has actually walked ahead of most people to build a foundation, and the two direct disciples who were admired by the disciples at that time have long been out of touch.
Without deliberate guidance, the reputation of Hu Weicai in the valley has gradually improved. When someone says something bad about him, the admirers of the Valley Master Hu will immediately jump out to defend him.
"You always say that the young valley master is so bad, but what did he do to anger everyone?
Did he bully men and women or cause trouble to our Cuiyan Valley? The descendants of the two elders before were much more arrogant and domineering than him, but they still got whatever they wanted in our valley, and they had a lot of lackeys following them. If the valley master hadn't suppressed them, who knows how arrogant they would be."
"That's right, if you look at it separately, the young valley master really didn't do anything to let everyone down. I remember that the young valley master used to be very quiet in the valley and rarely ran out to cause trouble. Instead..." "
On the contrary what?"
"I seem to remember that Senior Brother Sang and Senior Sister Wan always urged the Young Valley Master to cultivate hard and not let the Valley Master down. They also pointed out what the Young Valley Master did wrong. I don't know why, but as soon as they came forward to clarify something, it seemed to arouse public anger. The Young Valley Master was beaten by the disciples who supported them. Now it seems..."
"Could it be that they are jealous of the young valley master's status and are worried that the valley master will pass Cuiyan Valley to the young valley master and they will not have a share? This seems to make sense."
This statement gradually died down. Thinking of the final inference, everyone shut up in agreement. If it was really the two who deliberately targeted and suppressed the young valley master, then it was very suspicious that the two of them got into trouble one after another. However, if it was really them who did it, then it was understandable that the valley master abandoned them. They all reached out to the valley master's grandson. How much respect could they have for the valley master? Such treason and evil intentions deserved to go to hell.
To everyone's regret, the young master did not show up in Cuiyan Valley. The disciples in the valley speculated where the young master was now. It would be difficult to find such a young foundation-building monk after checking the entire mainland, so many disciples began to search secretly. There were so many young monks who had built their foundations recently, and they didn't look like anyone. They also felt that there were many suspicious people. Maybe the young master was not the one who showed up.
The news that the fat man next to Gu Yao had successfully built his foundation was also known to outsiders. It's not that no one suspected him, but what was the status of Tianfu Academy at that time? Would the young master join Tianfu Academy with such a reputation?
But then he thought about how Master Hu took care of Gu Yao. If the little fat guy was really Hu Weicai, why did Master Hu treat Gu Yao so well, better than his own disciples? There must be a reason.
The more he speculated, the more suspicious it seemed. The voice was heard by Jiang Yan and others through the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce, causing them to come to Jianfeng to curiously inquire about the person involved. They already knew that these people had a method of making masks that could resist other people's spiritual detection, so it was very likely that the little fat guy had been wearing a mask and never showed his true face.
The little fat guy was holding Liuli and was not very disturbed. He had no idea that his grandfather would be happy to expose it, causing people to doubt his identity, although he was the second-generation ancestor Hu Weicai.
Although the little fat man had established his foundation, he had been holding the crystal snake tightly, just to prevent others from forcibly pulling his skin. With the crystal snake around, who would dare to reach out and let go of Liuli!
"Brothers, you are too idle. Now the Qianxue Sect has not retreated from the Quqiu Mountains. Who knows when they will attack again? And the Alchemist Branch is also being established. Don't you pay more attention?" The little fat man said unhappily. "Is
it so difficult to admit whether it is true or not? Why don't you just answer it and we will leave immediately." Lu Hesheng said relentlessly. In fact, the promise was already very clear by now. He was still pestering this question just to tease the little fat man.
There really was something wrong with Cuiyan Valley back then, otherwise, as the grandson of the Valley Master Hu, why would the little fat boy end up staying with Gu Yao at Tianfu College? Gu Yao at that time was not very conspicuous and had never shown his talent. In addition, the little fat boy's temperament was not the same as that of the legendary second-generation rich man, so people never doubted his identity.
Gu Yao appeared at the door, looked at Lu Qiusheng who was joking and Jiang Yan who was watching the show, and said helplessly: "Two senior brothers, please let the little fat boy go. The little fat boy is just a little fat boy. What's the difference between him and you senior brothers?"
Lu Qiusheng reluctantly said "tsk", but in the end he gave Gu Yao face and didn't continue to think about it.
Jiang Yan smiled and said, Gu Yao, you are right, the little fat man is the little fat man. Qiu Sheng and I came here to
congratulate the little fat man on his successful foundation building. We have also specially prepared a gift. The little fat man should not be angry anymore.
In fact, when the words of Master Hu reached their ears, Jiang Yan determined the true identity of the little fat man. In addition to
other characteristics, the most important point is that he was in charge of the Ascension Conference at the time, but he was very clear about the little fat man's spiritual roots. At that time, he did not expect the little fat man to hide his identity and did not think about him at all. Now, after hearing this, he suddenly realized that the little fat man's spiritual roots were the same as those of the second-generation ancestor of Cuiyan Valley.
This is the best evidence.
Jiang Yan took out a jade box. The little fat boy certainly wasn't really angry with them. He thanked them and took the box. He curiously opened it and looked at it. When he saw the items inside, he uttered a sneer: "Brother, this thing is too precious."
Gu Yao also saw it. The things in the box looked very ordinary, just a piece of stone. However, this ordinary stone was extraordinary. It contained the marrow of the stone. It was very beneficial to cultivators with earth spirit roots. With the help of the marrow of the stone, the little fat boy could not only stabilize his current cultivation, but also improve it slightly, which was equivalent to several years of cultivation.
For cultivators with earth spirit roots, the marrow of the stone also had the function of cleansing the essence and removing impurities from the body. From this point of view, it was also beneficial to improve the purity of the spirit roots.
Jiang Yan laughed: "Qiu Sheng and I don't specialize in earth spirit roots. Although the stone marrow is good, it is of no benefit to us. It is better to leave it in the hands of more useful people. Take it and let Gu Yao refine more pills for us, so that we can exchange for better things."
The little fat man didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They had never asked Gu Yao to refine pills before, and Gu Yao would never disagree, but he didn't refuse. After receiving this kindness and feeling the pure earth spirit energy coming from the stone marrow, the little fat man couldn't wait to absorb it.
Gu Yao understood his psychology, waved at him, and told him to close the door quickly. The little fat man ran away in a flash, leaving the crystal snake to Gu Yao, so Jiang Yan and Lu Qiu Sheng watched a cat-snake battle and laughed.
Within two days, Master Hu sent a special caravan to deliver a batch of things to Gu Yao. Half of the things were for Gu Yao, and the rest were cultivation resources that Master Hu prepared for his grandson, which were suitable for foundation-building cultivators.
The Alchemist Guild branch in ±Fang City had been established. Similarly, a branch base was also set up in Tianshui Market. Although Tianhai Gate was still disturbed by small groups of beasts, Tianshui Market had been unaffected. The cultivators here still remembered the kindness of Master Hu and Gu Yao, so they welcomed this branch very much and worked together to build it.
So far, all branches are under construction or just completed, and there has been no attack or destruction. The only reason is that when the first branch was first established, it was besieged by unknown people, which caused other monks to unite and fight back angrily. At that time, only three or four of the dozen people escaped.
Since that lesson, no matter what kind of dispute, they tacitly avoid the guild, or regard the guild and its surrounding areas as a truce. As long as they come here, they can only have a war of words, but never use force, otherwise they will be the target of criticism.
This rule is not a mandatory rule, but a tacit rule of everyone. It has been consciously implemented by the monks on the mainland and continued for a long time.
Learning from the previous lesson, Jianfeng arranged a special patrol. Everyone patrolled the surroundings as usual. Suddenly, the aura of the entire Jianfeng seemed to become stagnant in an instant. Several people were shocked. Could something have happened?
Then the ground under their feet shook. They were even more shocked and quickly sent a message. At this time, several figures appeared above Jianfeng. The leader was Elder Yi. Elder Yi not only did not show any worry, but also stared at the direction of Jiange.
Gu Yao also came with his magic weapon and said excitedly: "Elder Yi, is it possible that our senior brother is coming out of retreat?" The monks below also heard it and immediately calmed down their panicked hearts. They were overjoyed. It turned out that it was Chi Changye who entered the Sword Pavilion who made the noise. The louder the noise, the better!
