Chapter 064 The Unusual Gu Family
"I didn't expect that Brother Yan actually got the protagonist's script." Chu Yi flipped through his memories and sighed to Orange: "Based on the fluctuations in space, it should be a top-grade immortal weapon. But it shouldn't be..."
She frowned, touched her chin and fell into thought. She always felt that something was wrong. It doesn't mean that Gu Jiayan has a top-grade space-type magic weapon on him, but the grade of this magic weapon.
"What's wrong?"
Orange didn't understand why she thought there was something wrong. This world once had a cultivation civilization, so it was normal for one or two traditions to be passed down.
Seeing that Orange didn't understand, Chu Yi patiently explained to him, "It is normal for the inheritance to continue, and there is nothing wrong with inheriting a top-grade immortal weapon, but the grade is wrong. Think about it, Orange, the cultivation civilization of this world has been lost for thousands of years. Without energy replenishment, even if it is a top-grade immortal weapon, it should not be of the same grade as before."
"You should know that no matter what level of immortal tools, they are all made by cultivators, not innate spiritual treasures. If they cannot be replenished with energy for a long time, these tools will be downgraded. Even the legendary innate spiritual treasures will probably face a downgrade under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao."
After hearing such a detailed explanation, Orange seemed to suddenly understand.
"So Lingling, what you mean is that even though the space magic weapon that Brother Yan has was a top-grade immortal weapon in ancient times, after thousands of years of continuous consumption, its grade should be much lower now, instead of still retaining its original grade."
"Yes, that's what I mean."
So Chu Yi didn’t understand why the space magic weapon on Gu Jiayan’s body would become an exception.
There is a heritage left in the land of flower planting. When she was using the Dragon King vest, she sensed more than one abnormality. She once calculated that these places were the inheritances left by the monks. Some of them had been abandoned and had no usable resources, but some still had opportunities.
She didn't touch these things. When the time comes, the right person will appear.
However, no matter how high the cultivation level of the cultivator who left behind the legacy was, even the caves left behind by the immortals, many of the magic weapons inside had been downgraded, and quite a few of them had fallen to the level of spiritual treasures.
"If you are so curious, then Lingling, use the Dragon King's ability to figure it out." Why do you have to figure it out by yourself?
Chu Yi: "......"
Can she say that she forgot she had this skill again...
It turned out that it was not obtained through hard work and could not be used well. I have to pay more attention to these aspects in the future. The abilities of the vests are very powerful. The power exerted by her, the owner, when she wears them, is not as strong as the power of the vests themselves.
He closed his eyes silently and started to tell fortunes by counting on his fingers. With the help of Dragon King's skills, Chu Yi soon understood the whole cause and effect.
After opening her eyes, Chu Yi's expression was one of shock mixed with a hint of helplessness. It was obvious that the truth was a little beyond her expectations.
She held her forehead and sighed, "...I see, this is the reason. I guess I am just 'making things easier for others'."
"What's going on?" Seeing her like this, Orange's curiosity was piqued. It grabbed Long Jun's sleeve and started asking questions.
Rubbing his forehead, Chu Yi explained in a weak tone: "Brother Yan is a descendant of an ancient cultivation family. That family was once considered the best in the cultivation world. The most powerful cultivator from their family was a Daluo Jinxian, which was considered the top level even in ancient times."
"So this space magic weapon was refined by the Golden Immortal for his own family to use?" Orange made a reasonable guess based on this information.
"Yes, it is not only the treasure of the clan, but also the family head's ring. It is a treasure that only the family head can inherit."
"Wow~ Isn't Brother Yan really amazing?"
"Well, sort of."
Although Gu Jiayan was extremely talented and was considered a favored child of heaven in the ancient times when there were many talented people, the biggest reason why he was able to inherit this ring was probably because he was the only descendant left in their family at this generation.
This is not to deny his talent and charm, but I think in ancient times, if you want to inherit this ring, you will have to put in more effort.
"So why does this immortal weapon maintain its top grade without any reduction in quality?"
When it comes to this issue, Chu Yi wants to sigh. She never imagined that the biggest beneficiary of all her efforts in the ceremony would be Gu Jiayan.
She told Juzi with a distressed voice: "Because that ring absorbed most of the power of the dragon vein."
"Is that so?" Upon hearing this answer, Orange was also very surprised.
It thought that the Golden Immortal had come up with some method to preserve the immortal weapon, but it didn't expect that it actually absorbed the power of the dragon vein.
"So the ring has already been downgraded and is no longer a top-grade immortal weapon?"
"Well, if it hadn't absorbed most of the energy, the ring would be at most a low-grade immortal weapon now."
"Then Lingling, what are you sad about?" Chu Yi seemed to be in a low mood from the beginning. What was he sad about? Orange doesn't understand.
Chu Yi stretched out his voice in distress and said, "Because if Brother Yan hadn't done this, the number of geniuses I could have harvested during this Dragon Vein Marrow Cleansing would have been much greater than the current number."
Before, in order to be lazy, she used Dragon King Divination to calculate the number of geniuses that would appear this time. Although the number was still relatively large, it was still a little different from her previous speculation. At that time, she just thought it was fate. After all, it was a restart after a thousand years, and she was quite satisfied with having that little bit of genius.
However, she didn't expect that half of the energy of an entire dragon vein was absorbed by one ring, causing many people to absorb insufficient energy, which ultimately led to her failure to meet her expectations.
The only thing to be thankful for now is that the beneficiary of this incident is our own Brother Yan, and not other irrelevant people.
Otherwise, Chu Yi would probably want that person to give up the benefit. After all, no matter what, the benefit of one person cannot compare to that of a group of people.
"Okay, now that we've figured it out, let's go back." Chu Yi called on Orange to follow.
After working all night and finding out that it was one of her own people who committed the crime, she didn't want to pursue the matter any further.
Orange followed obediently.
Each of them closed their eyes and opened them again, and the next day came.
Chu Yi slept until she woke up naturally, but maybe because what she learned last night was too "explosive", her dreams were filled with all kinds of cultivation novels with Long Aotian plots, making her unable to get a good rest for the first time in a long time.
I woke up and looked at the time, and found that it was just past 7 o'clock, so it was still very early.
The orange beside the pillow was still sleeping, and she didn't wake it up. She gently touched it and took it back to the cabin. Then she got up and started washing and cleaning.
After picking out a warm and cute outfit in the closet, Chu Yi went to the balcony and sat down. He sent a message to Gu Jiayan, asking him if he had gotten up. After experiencing such a big thing yesterday, she estimated that Gu Jiayan would not be able to sleep for long.
Just as Chu Yi expected, Gu Jiayan in the next room woke up earlier than her. He had been thinking about things in the room for most of the day. After receiving Chu Yi's message, he also opened the glass door of the balcony and went out onto the balcony.
When I came out, I saw Chu Yi sitting leisurely in a small rocking chair, enjoying the sunrise.
The two smiled at each other and said good morning to each other tacitly.
Gu Jiayan pulled the chair on the balcony closer to Chu Yi and said to her in a brisk tone, "Excuse me, Senior Sister, do you have any plans for today?"
“Cough cough cough!”
Chu Yi was so frightened by the sudden sound that he started to cough.
After finally recovering from the shock, she quickly explained with a wry smile: "Hate it, Brother Yan, I was just joking~"
Gu Jiayan glanced at her with amusement and said nothing.
He was very well behaved today. I don’t know who danced like that yesterday.
The two joked for a while before getting down to business.
"Secretary Ye said last night that if we want to go home, he can arrange for someone to take us home."
Chu Yi looked refusal, she didn't want her original body to have to deal with them again.
Gu Jiayan obviously understood her temper very well. Before she could say anything, he comforted her directly: "Don't worry, I refused. I will drive you back later."
"Brother Yan is the best~" Chu Yi smiled happily.
It was already annoying enough for her to deal with official people under a pseudonym, and when using her own body, she really would rather avoid any intersection. Anyway, as she was the eldest disciple of Lord Long, no one dared to force her.
"Okay, stop flattering me. Pack up your things when you get home and give up the house. We will probably be staying in the academy for a long time from now on, so there is no need to keep a house outside."
"Yeah, got it. What about you, Brother Yan? Your lab can't do without you, right?"
Gu Jiayan set up his own laboratory, which is run with him as the core. If he goes to practice, there won't be much point in keeping this laboratory. I just don't know if he can bear to give it up.
Gu Jiayan didn't care as much as Chu Yi imagined about this laboratory that had consumed all his efforts. He said casually, "I will announce the closure of the laboratory after I return. Practicing takes up too much time, and I don't have that much energy to take care of it. Moreover, after the revival of spiritual energy, the elements are undergoing very drastic changes. All the previous data are useless, and there is naturally no point in conducting research based on that."
The reason why he had such a strong interest in elements was because he wanted to study cultivation. They knew that their family was once a top family in the world of cultivation, but after the spiritual energy dissipated, all of this became a legend. He was instilled with the idea of restoring the family's glory from a young age, and all his efforts were directed towards this goal.
Now that the spiritual energy has truly revived, he naturally has to devote all his energy to cultivation. The laboratory is no longer necessary.
"I see. That's true." Chu Yi didn't understand his real thoughts. As long as this was a decision from his heart, she would fully support it.
"Then let's go downstairs and eat now, and then we'll set off after dinner."
"Well, let's go."
Having made up their minds, the two of them simply packed their luggage and prepared to go to the restaurant to eat and then leave.
The two of them quickly finished their breakfast and set out on their journey home together. The journey back always feels shorter than the journey coming, and soon we arrived at Chu Yi's house.
She did not invite Gu Jiayan to go upstairs and sit with them. They simply said goodbye downstairs and went their separate ways to do their own things.
After Gu Jiayan's car disappeared from sight, Chu Yi snapped his fingers and put the suitcase into the system closet. The illusion barrier she had set up at home covered a very wide area, so there was no danger in using her abilities downstairs.
After putting away the props, she returned home feeling relaxed.
Cleaning the house became even easier. She only needed to put on any vest and cast a spell, and her own things would be put into the system closet.
From the time she entered the house to the time she finished cleaning up, it took no more than five minutes.
Standing in the rented house that had been restored to its original state, Chu Yi clapped his hands with satisfaction. Now all that was left was to notify the landlord. I casually edited a message and sent it to him, saying that I wanted to move out, and the rent and deposit would be given to him as penalty for breach of contract.
At the same time, a live video of the room was recorded to confirm that the original furniture was still there, nothing was missing, and there was no damage.
The landlord saw the message quickly and called her via video immediately.
Looking at the caller ID on the virtual screen, Chu Yi knew that the other party had not changed the bracelet yet, so a real-life conversation was temporarily unavailable. But it doesn’t matter, a normal video call can also let him see the current condition of the house.
Neither of them was the type to waste time, so they discussed it with each other and quickly handled the matter. The landlord was kind-hearted. After seeing that his house was cleaned up, he returned the remaining months' rent to Chu Yi, but withheld this month's rent and the original deposit.
Although Chu Yi didn't care about the money, he accepted the landlord's kindness. The two of them wished each other well in a friendly manner before breaking off contact.
After settling the house issue, Chu Yi went out and took a taxi to a nearby hotel. She apparently spent the next few days in the hotel.
After she booked a room in the hotel and went in to rest, Orange came out of the cabin rubbing her eyes in a daze.
It stumbled and landed on Chu Yi, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings and wondering: "Where are we, Lingling?"
"In the hotel near my home. I'm back to pack my things. After the test is over in a few days, the college will start, and I will have to live in the college. There is no need to continue renting here."
"Is the house tidied up yet?"
"Yes, it's already packed. Let's see where to go for fun in the next few days."
To be honest, she hasn't had a good look around Changlin City yet. Not long after she moved here, she met the Lord God, and then started her thrilling journey of world evolution. She hasn't even lived in her own home for a few days.
Orange didn't seem to like this suggestion. It looked at her with a slightly accusing look and said, "Lingdang, if you have time, why don't you go abroad? Since you left Qiulu in Fuso, you haven't paid attention to it, right? And you've never cared about the plans of other countries."
We should take some responsibility.
After understanding Orange's subtext, Chu Yi felt embarrassed.
It does seem a bit irresponsible...
