Tln: Just know there are some complex chinese words that were used in this novel but you will still get the over all plot line at the end..
"Haha, those who used to speak based on Gu Yao Dan Shi's Four Spiritual Roots qualification have all been proven wrong now. They used to say that no matter how talented Gu Yao Dan Shi is in alchemy, his spiritual roots will hold him back. What level of cultivation do those people who said these things have now?""Senior Brother Chi is also very good. Senior Brother Chi built his foundation early and I heard that he didn't even use a Foundation Building Pill when he did it. Senior Brother Chi might be a genius with a single spiritual root. It's really enviable.""But Senior Brother Chi chose to stay by Gu Yao Dan Shi's side, which shows that Gu Yao Dan Shi is still superior!" The speaker is clearly a brainwashed fan of Gu Yao, standing on his side without any principles.
"In fact, Tian Feirong and Wei Zhengfei, who are by Gu Yao's side, are also very good. Their cultivation speed is much faster than ours. No wonder so many people want to get close to Gu Yao. I guess now that Gu Yao has spread the word that he wants to take on followers, there are also many people rushing to join.""So it can be said that Gu Yao is the number one among young alchemists. This statement is not an exaggeration.""That's right, Hu Gu's two disciples were never able to compare to Gu Yao, let alone now. They have become useless. Not to mention alchemy, even cultivation is a problem for them. I never expected such a thing to happen in Cuiyan Valley. These two are really unlucky.""That's right, they had a bright future ahead of them, but who would have thought it would end halfway? But Gu Yao has great respect for Hu Gu, so let's not mention this matter."When Gu Yao came out of seclusion, he heard many people discussing the situation in Cuiyan Valley. Hu Gu's two disciples had become useless? Gu Yao was surprised to hear this. Was it really just bad luck and an accident?Gu Yao went to the Star Moon Trading Company and happened to run into Lu Qiusheng, who had just returned from outside. He was also relying on his senior brother Jiang Yan, following him wherever he went."Little Junior Brother Gu, you're here. Did you run out of those spirit herbs again? Just let me know how much you need, don't bother Senior Brother." Lu Qiusheng saw Gu Yao come in and lazily waved his hand. Gu Yao noticed that Zhou Li was pushed aside and forced to do menial tasks. As long as Lu Qiusheng was around, he could forget about having a peaceful life."No, I..." Gu Yao wasn't surprised by this situation and smiled, "I came to inquire about the situation in Cuiyan Valley. I think the information here would be the most comprehensive."Before Lu Qiusheng could reply, Zhou Li became excited and immediately approached, saying, "I know, I know, Master Gu, let me tell you.""What business do you have here? Go do your own work," Lu Qiusheng chased him away.
"Good, let Zhou Li stay. When you go out later, bring Zhou Li along after he has finished his training." Jiang Yan patted Lu Qiusheng's head, and the latter immediately obediently agreed, reluctantly following his senior brother's suggestion to let Zhou Li stay. However, Zhou Li felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. Should he really follow Lu Qiusheng outside for training? Is Senior Brother Jiang really doing this for his own good? He thought helplessly, wondering if he still had a chance to come back alive.After comforting Lu Qiusheng, Jiang Yan turned to greet Gu Yao. Without Zhou Li having to speak, Jiang Yan explained the recent changes in Cuiyan Valley to Gu Yao."Hu Gu's eldest disciple, Sang Shuo, learned that an extremely rare treasure had appeared in a dangerous place. Sang Shuo didn't trust anyone else to go, and the treasure had to be used immediately after being picked, or else its medicinal properties would be lost. So he went personally. Cuiyan Valley also arranged for many people to protect him, but unexpectedly, Sang Shuo was attacked by a monster during the struggle for the treasure. After bringing him back to Cuiyan Valley, they discovered that his dantian was shattered. Not only could he no longer cultivate alchemy, but his original cultivation base couldn't be sustained either. His spiritual power was constantly leaking, and he would eventually become an ordinary mortal.""Coincidentally, not long after Sang Shuo had an accident, Hu Gu's second disciple, Wan Siqing, accidentally exploded a furnace while refining pills. When they rescued him, they found that his injuries were not in the dantian, but in his divine consciousness and sea of consciousness. If these injuries cannot be healed, his situation may not be much better than Sang Shuo's. This news has spread outside, and people are saying that Hu Gu has had bad luck, with both of his disciples having consecutive accidents. However, there are still many people who want to send their own children to Cuiyan Valley to become Hu Gu's disciples.""This..." Gu Yao's face showed a shocked expression. "It's really unfortunate."Of course, there is a possibility of healing these two types of injuries, but for cultivators, especially those on the Tianlin Continent, the faint hope they bring is more like despair. The medicinal pills that can treat these injuries are all at least eighth-grade pills, and even if they can be gathered, it is uncertain whether Cuiyan Valley and the forces behind them are willing to pay such a high price for them.Jiang Yan also felt great sympathy. "Yes, it's really unfortunate. If it was just one, it would be fine, but both of them have suffered irreparable injuries. Hu Gu has nurtured them for so many years, but unexpectedly, it all ended like this." Gu Yao couldn't suppress the strange emotions in his heart and took his leave after inquiring about this news.Jiang Yan watched Gu Yao's hurried figure and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. Did Gu Yao's junior brother feel that the changes in Cuiyan Valley were abnormal? If it wasn't an accident, then someone intentionally targeted those two disciples, wanting to destroy them? Who made the move? Was it directed at Hu Gu or...
The next thought made Jiang Yan dare not think about it. If it was the latter situation, he didn't know what bottom line these two people had touched with Hu Guzhu. As for Hu Guzhu's character, anyone who has had contact with him knows that he can be considered a good person.Gu Yao had just returned to the courtyard and saw Tian Feirong and Xiaopangzi coming out. Now they were both at the seventh level of Qi refining, advanced Qi refining cultivators. However, Xiaopangzi seemed a bit reluctant, and Tian Feirong said something to him, but he looked confused and obviously didn't hear what the other person was saying."What's wrong with you?" Tian Feirong looked curiously at Xiaopangzi. He seemed carefree most of the time, but occasionally he would have some strange situations that left people puzzled.Xiaopangzi twisted his fingers and said, "There are some things I can't figure out. Ah, there's no point in telling you, you wouldn't understand. Gu Yao is back, I need to find him for something." Xiaopangzi said and ran off, leaving Tian Feirong behind, grinding his teeth. He really didn't know how to appreciate good people. What does he mean by saying that Tian Feirong wouldn't understand? Nonsense!"Gu Yao..." Xiaopangzi hesitated and looked at Gu Yao.Gu Yao shook his head helplessly and said, "Come with me." After entering Gu Yao's room, Gu Yao poured two cups of tea, placed one in front of Xiaopangzi, and continued the previous topic, "Are you worried about the situation in Cuiyan Valley? I just went to the Star Moon Trading Company to ask Jiang Shixiong and learned some information."Gu Yao truthfully relayed the information he had heard from Jiang Yan: "... Outsiders all say that those two are unlucky, but I feel that something is off. Xiaopangzi, don't you want to go back and take a look? If it wasn't for our Tianfu Academy being far from Cuiyan Valley, maybe we could gather more information and help you make a judgment.""There's actually something I didn't tell you. When Hu Guzhu came to our academy, after I finished talking to him about alchemy, I mentioned something about Hu Shaogu's situation. Even if I didn't know you, I felt that many rumors about Hu Shaogu were just hearsay and exaggerated. Perhaps Hu Guzhu took it to heart and went back to investigate."Xiaopangzi didn't expect this, he stood up suddenly, but then sat back down. After tossing back and forth a few times, he still couldn't make up his mind whether to go back and take a look.In fact, when he heard that those two were crippled, Xiaopangzi felt extremely satisfied. When he was in the valley, he was seen as a waste in the eyes of others. Now these two geniuses had fallen even lower than him. He really wanted to go back and see their current appearance.
But he still didn't like the atmosphere of Cuiyan Valley. As long as he was in Cuiyan Valley, he couldn't change his identity as the junior valley master. Those disciples and elders always looked at him with picky and disdainful eyes. However, the past two years at Tianfu Academy were the most relaxed years for him. No one knew his identity, no one looked at him with special eyes, and he was extremely relaxed and comfortable. Thanks to Tu Guyao, his cultivation level had also improved rapidly.If he stayed in Cuiyan Valley, he would never have experienced all of this. Xiao Pangzi was very clear about this, and now he was even more calm in his mindset.Xiao Pangzi also hoped that his grandfather would find out the truth for him and punish those two people for him, but he was afraid that he was thinking too much. However, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. He thought for a moment and said, "Actually, there is a way to see if my grandfather was involved. Do you know why I left Cuiyan Valley in the first place? It was because of a woman. Her family reported me to my grandfather, and combined with the fact that the elders of Cuiyan Valley thought I had bad conduct, my grandfather punished me."At that time, he didn't even try to defend himself because he knew that even if he did, no one would believe him, including his grandfather. They all believed that he was a bad person. It was also because of this incident that he had a stronger desire to leave Cuiyan Valley.If his grandfather believed him, he should investigate this matter. So as long as he checked the woman's situation, he would know the truth. Thinking of this, Xiao Pangzi's heart beat faster.Tu Guyao agreed, "Yes, we should investigate this. Otherwise, the family wouldn't have reported it to us. After all, they are not as important as the two disciples of Hu Gu master. You can investigate this yourself. If you need anything, just tell me. Hu Gu master has taught me without reservation, and I also hope to do something for him."Xiao Pangzi blinked and turned his head to cover up the warmth in his eyes. Tu Guyao didn't need to explain so much. If it wasn't for him, Tu Guyao wouldn't have said those words in front of his grandfather. He was so lucky to have met Tu Guyao when he left Cuiyan Valley."It's just strange why it took so long for them to take action," Tu Guyao said curiously.
