Becoming famous in one battle has many benefits.
For example, when walking with Chi Changye again, there are fewer students who glare at him, and no one throws spirit stones to "buy" his followers. For example, Chi Changye's identity was changed very smoothly, and no one made things difficult for them. The identity card was changed to that of an ordinary student. For another example, the four of them didn't have to set up a stall. On the second day of the alchemy competition, Zhou Li sent the deed of the store to their yard.
The store was not rented by them, but was privately owned by them. Now it was transferred to Gu Yao's name. If such a store was put up for bidding, it would immediately make tens of thousands of spirit stones. After listening to Zhou Li's explanation, Gu Yao almost couldn't help but sell it. That was tens of thousands of spirit stones. How long would it take to earn that much by selling pills?
Of course, there are also troubles. When you go out, you will be greeted warmly by many students, almost all of whom are unfamiliar faces. The completely different attitude from before makes Gu Yao very troubled, and it also strengthens his determination to be a "home cultivator". Except for going to the Transmission Hall and the Collection Pavilion, he will not step out of the small courtyard where they live unless necessary. The store is completely handed over to Tian Feirong and the little fat man.
Zhou Li walked into the store called "Gu Chi". Every time he saw the name of this store, he was speechless. Was he too lazy or did he want to show off his close relationship to everyone?
On the first day after Gu Yao's shop reopened, the students who had come in for elixirs discovered that the shop not only sold elixirs but also talismans, and the quality of the talismans was equally high, and the talisman masters who drew them were no less capable than the alchemist Gu Yao. However, no talisman master was so arrogant as to challenge the talisman master behind the shop. The example of Danfeng was there. It was said that as soon as Li Shurong and Liu Lingpige returned to Danfeng, Danfeng announced that it would be closed, and they probably would not show up in the short term.
However, Zhou Li and others knew who the talisman master was. Who would have thought that Chi Changye, a swordsman, could draw talismans so well? Zhou Li didn't care much about the original intermediate talismans, but he bought a lot of high-level talismans when he first came here for self-defense.
"Are you the only ones here again? The other two are absent as usual?" Zhou Li asked with a smile.
The little fat man rolled his eyes: "Isn't this nonsense? Gu Yao and Chi Shao have always been impatient to deal with people."
Tian Feirong came over: "Brother Zhou, have you run out of pills? Are you going to buy more?"
It was Zhou Li's turn to roll his eyes: "I've almost used up all my spirit stones. I can't afford it anymore." Then he showed a gossipy look and said, "Have you heard that recently there is a rumor circulating in the outer courtyard. Didn't a mysterious person who sold top-grade Bihua Pills appear in Shifang City before, and let the grandson of Master Hu take the blame? Since the alchemy competition that day, some people said that the person who let the grandson of Master Hu take the blame was not someone else, but Gu Yao who was in Shifang City at the time. Do you think it's true?"
"Puff, cough, cough..." The little fat man spitted and coughed violently. He was planning to stop caring about this matter. Which bastard was so bored that he brought it up? He, the real owner, didn't say anything.
In fact, he had guessed it when the result of the competition came out that day. The person who made him take the blame was none other than Gu Yao. Before he could ask Gu Yao for confirmation, Gu Yao knocked on his door and confessed the matter. The little fat man couldn't blame Gu Yao. It wasn't Gu Yao who made the mistake, but those blind guys in Shifang City. Even if Gu Yao himself stood up and admitted that he was the alchemist, he would probably be regarded as a lunatic or a person with delusions.
Tian Feirong had not confirmed it with Gu Yao, but he felt that the man was most likely Gu Yao. Why? It was to collect spiritual stones for admission to Tianfu Academy. However, there was no need to explain this matter to his brothers in detail, not to mention that when he was in Shifang City, walls had ears. Who knows what would happen if others knew.
With Gu Yao's personality, it is better to have less trouble than more.
Tian Feirong raised his eyebrows: "What can this prove? Even if that person is Gu Yao, so what? What if he is not Gu Yao? Little Fatty, you think so, right?" He kindly patted the little fat man on the back, thinking that the little fat man was shocked.
Zhou Li replied as a matter of course: "Of course I am curious. That is the person that Master Hu said he would accept as his personal disciple. So although some people outside say that the person is Gu Yao, many people also hold opposing
views, thinking that it is impossible for someone to refuse to be Master Hu's disciple. But I have a different opinion.
"
"Oh? What is it?" The little fat man asked curiously after catching his breath.
Zhou Li affirmed, "Of course Gu Yao has another master, so he can't just take someone else as his master! What do you think will happen if this rumor gets out and other sects and people in Cuiyan Valley know that Gu Yao would rather choose our Tianfu Academy than enter Cuiyan Valley?"
Well, this person must be a person who is afraid of chaos in the world! Tian Feirong pushed him out: "It's definitely not our Gu Yao, don't join in the fun, we are all self-aware people."
Why didn't Gu Yao enter Cuiyan Valley? Tian Feirong guessed the reason. First, it was because Gu Yao's spiritual roots were too poor, so if he stood out, he would be rejected and end up in an embarrassing situation. Second, Gu Yao had his own inheritance and secrets. If the transformation drug was exposed, it would cause a huge shock.
Gu Yao had his own inheritance, so he naturally didn't want to worship Master Hu as his teacher, and he could keep a low profile. If it was exposed at that time, he didn't know whether he could leave Shifang City in the end.
After Zhou Li left, Tian Feirong and the little fat man looked at each other, and quickly took out a communication token to inform Chi Changye of the matter. Gu Yao was a person they had agreed needed special protection. After the news spread, they wondered if it would have any impact on Gu Yao. Was Zhou Li coming here to test their attitudes
? Zhou Li returned to Xingyue Chamber of Commerce and said to Jiang Yan with certainty: "It seems that the top-grade Bihua Dan in Shifang City was produced by Gu Yao. Gu Yao's choice is really unexpected."
Jiang Yan smiled and said: "This shows that Gu Yao is very sober and calm. You didn't hear the noise outside. Many people are talking about Gu Yao's spiritual root talent, saying that no matter how high his talent in alchemy is, he is still restricted by his spiritual root qualifications and
it is difficult for him to achieve great things. If he really enters Cuiyan Valley, it is hard to say whether he can still be valued by Valley Master Hu as always. Besides, Valley Master Hu couldn't even protect his own grandson and was forced to flee Cuiyan Valley. This shows that it is not a quiet place."
Jiang Yan thought that those who talked about talent were either jealous of Gu Yao or wanted to save face for Danfeng.
"Hu Weicai was forced to flee Cuiyan Valley? Someone is trying to harm Hu Weicai?" Zhou Li asked in surprise.
Jiang Yan glanced at him, what's so surprising about this: "Hu Weicai's reputation inside and outside Cuiyan Valley is not very good. Who can he threaten with his talent? He is actually known for stealing elixirs?" What a pity. I don't know if Master Hu is aware of the problems in Cuiyan Valley. Hu Weicai will never go back willingly until the problems are solved.
Zhou Li chuckled twice: "Brother, you said that Gu Yao has come to our Tianfu Academy, so this Hu Weicai will not come here as well, right? If that is the case, Cuiyan Valley and Master Hu will become the
laughing stock of the entire Tianlin Continent."
"It can't be such a coincidence." Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, but then he thought again, this is really a good place to hide. If Zhou Li hadn't said that, who would have guessed that Master Hu's grandson would come to Tianfu Academy? I'm afraid Master Hu would not have thought of this place even if he searched the entire Tianlin Continent.
Water, water, water
Gu Yao and Chi Changye came out of the Collection Pavilion together. Gu Yao asked curiously: "Brother Ye, there was a war that shook the world of cultivation hundreds of thousands of years ago? All races and cultivators were involved, and the entire face of the world of cultivation was greatly changed. Is this true?"
He had flipped through a book introducing the history of the world of cultivation in the Collection Pavilion before. Most of the books were recorded in the form of biographies and strange stories. The authenticity of the book could not be verified, and it was placed in a corner with no one paying attention to it.
Hundreds of thousands of years, for Tianlin Continent, it is unknown how many years have passed, because there are no powerful monks who can live as long as the heaven and earth, and can live for thousands of years. At most, a new generation will be replaced every few hundred years. The changes in history may have been lost in the long river of time, and no one can tell clearly.
However, Chi Changye should know more about the situation than the monks of Tianlin Continent.
Chi Changye nodded and said, "There is also such a legend circulating where I originally lived. It is said that those great wars caused drastic changes in heaven and earth, causing the cultivation environment of the entire world of cultivation to be lost. I think it is very likely to be true, because there are several places where we are located that are ancient sites, and such sites are likely to have a certain connection with the ancient times."
"It is said that those great wars caused drastic changes in heaven and earth, and the world of
cultivation was torn apart. This Tianlin Continent is very likely a continent that was split off at that time." Chi Changye had such a guess when he was stranded here as a child, because it was related to whether he could return to his original place. The Tianfu Academy Collection Pavilion has a rich collection of books, and the reason why he was willing to spend so much time reading various books with Gu Yao was also to find clues from them.
"Is it true that there were hundreds of races in ancient times? What races were they?" Gu Yao continued to ask.
Chi Changye shook his head and said, "It's not very clear, but it is said that the special physiques of some cultivators nowadays are related to the hundreds of races in ancient times. It is very likely that they are the blood of those races in ancient times, but they have merged with the human race long ago."
Just when Gu Yao wanted to ask further about what special physiques there were, Tian Feirong's message came. Chi Changye frowned slightly when he heard Tian Feirong's worried words.
"Brother Ye, what's wrong?"
Just as they were thinking about how to explain this to Gu Yao, a figure blocked their way. The two looked carefully and found that it was a thin old man with white hair and beard. He looked at Chi Chang Ye with burning eyes, and then wanted to glare at Gu Yao but reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
What a weird old man, Gu Yao muttered in his heart.
