When it was dark, Gu Yao finally emerged from his room. Tian Feirong had stayed behind, but he sent someone home with a message while waiting here.
Chi Changye had his own matters to attend to and couldn't keep him company all the time. Tian Feirong poured himself glass after glass of water.
Gu Yao placed the pills in the storage bag that originally held spirit herbs and tossed it over. "In addition to the detoxification pills, there are also healing pills I refined in these days. See if they are useful. If it exceeds my abilities, then I can't do anything about it."
Tian Feirong nodded eagerly, "It will definitely be useful. Thank you, Gu Yao. I'll take these back home for now, and I'll come to thank you another day."
After saying that, he quickly took the life-saving pills and went home. This time, they owed a lot to Gu Yao and Chi Changye. Not only did Gu Yao's pills play a significant role, but Chi Changye's talismans also enhanced the fighting power of the Tian family's team. Without them, the Tian family wouldn't have been able to save so many people, even with the protection of his aunt.
Chi Changye briefly explained the situation of the Tian family, surprising Gu Yao. "So, the Tian family hid a Foundation Establishment cultivator. I didn't expect that. Now, both the Gu and Lu families must be regretting. However, the Tian family kept this information well hidden. No hint of it leaked out before."
Chi Changye smiled, "The Tian family, rising to prominence later and becoming a prominent cultivation family alongside the Gu and Lu families, wouldn't lack background."
Gu Yao was quite curious about the battles between Foundation Establishment cultivators, wanting to know the spectacular scenes. However, for the sake of his own life, it was better to stay quietly in the town. Just thinking about how many cultivators lost their lives this time made his scalp tingle. It was better to honestly refine his body and enhance his cultivation.
The medicines Tian Feirong took back indeed played a significant role. Due to the protection of the talismans and the presence of Tian Ru with the team, the people of the Tian family who were stung by the golden ring bees had relatively mild symptoms. After taking the detoxification pills refined by Gu Yao, their conditions greatly improved.
Now, besides the ancestral ancestor, Tian Ru had the highest cultivation level in the Tian family. This status was significantly different. She also went to see the injured and poisoned cultivators, examined the pills, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"The quality of these pills surpasses those from the Gu family. This detoxification pill seems a bit unusual. How old is Gu Yao? What is his cultivation level? How did Feirong manage to recruit a cultivator like him?"
The head of the Tian family explained Gu Yao's situation and his connection with the Feng siblings, which was related to the Longevity Sect token. Tian Ru finally had some impression, having left Far阳 town early. She didn't have much impression of Gu Zhiming, a fellow of the Gu family:
"The Gu family has always been short-sighted, and they actually pushed such a talented person forward. Father, you don't need to worry about the Longevity Sect token. If Gu Yan is exceptionally talented, he might receive attention when entering the Longevity Sect. However, with his current state, he won't last more than a few years. Father, watch and see unless he has some other fortuitous encounter."
"But Gu Yao, a cultivator at the Fourth Layer of Qi Refinement, can produce such high-quality pills? Even our sect's alchemists can't compare to Gu Yao," this surprised Tian Ru greatly. When alchemists in the sect were at Gu Yao's cultivation level, they could, at most, refine some basic pills, and the best they could achieve was a medium-grade quality. Gu Yao, on the other hand, could produce high-grade quality even for intermediate-level pills. "What kind of spiritual root does he have? If possible, why not bring him into our sect?"
It was also a way to attract a talented alchemist for the sect.
The head of the Tian family shook his head with regret. "Too bad, he has a Four Spirit Root."
Tian Ru was also surprised to hear this. She thought Gu Yao was abandoned by the Gu family, so his aptitude shouldn't be good. However, she didn't expect him to have a Four Spirit Root aptitude. With such aptitude, without resource support and fortuitous encounters, becoming a mid-level Qi Refining cultivator would be the limit. As her father said, it's a pity. Even with excellent alchemy talent, it's useless. The matter of bringing him into the sect was bypassed and not mentioned again.
"This time, the Gu and Lu families are damned. Fortunately, Father informed me early to quietly return, otherwise the Tian family would have suffered heavy losses!" Tian Ru was furious.
The father of the Tian family was equally angry. "Presumably, the Gu family had discovered this alchemist's ancestral tomb long ago. However, because it's too dangerous inside, they didn't venture deep. This time, they used it as a trap—first, to exploit those eager for wealth, using them as cannon fodder to clear obstacles inside; second, to set a trap to kill us, the Tian family. If it weren't for... we, the Tian family, wouldn't have fallen into such a situation! The Gu and Lu families are truly outrageous!"
Fortunately, with the collaboration of his daughter and the ancestral ancestor, they managed to kill some members of the Gu family in retaliation. However, with the Gu and Lu families joining forces, even with two Foundation Establishment cultivators, the Tian family could only barely contend with them. So, after returning to Far阳 town, they had to maintain a facade of peace among the three families.
Although the Tian family didn't deliberately publicize it, due to the presence of many cultivators at the time, those who survived spread the news. The news was that the Tian family had a new Foundation Establishment female cultivator. It was thanks to her that the Tian family managed to escape unscathed in this ancestral tomb expedition.
The deaths of those outside caused a momentary sigh and regret among the townspeople. However, they were quickly drawn to this news. In such a world where the strong prey on the weak, people have a psychology of admiring strength. They are deeply attracted to powerful Foundation Establishment cultivators. It was said that this cultivator was the daughter of the head of the Tian family, and just in terms of age, she surpassed the ancestral ancestors of the three families, showing even more potential and future prospects.
