Hu Ting's smile was radiant, as if his grandson's achievements were more pleasing to him than the honor he gained from establishing the Dan Shi Guild. He modestly said, "Not at all, not at all. It was all his own reckless actions. He felt that everyone in Cui Yan Valley treated him too carefully because of my relationship, and he couldn't get enough training. So he voluntarily left Cui Yan Valley to go out and experience the world. Indeed, a young eagle has to fly out to grow. He has made a lot of progress in these years outside. If he stayed in Cui Yan Valley, apart from spending ten or twenty years trying to use spirit materials and pills to pile him up to the Foundation Establishment stage, I'm afraid there would be no other way."
"I know that the elders here care about my grandson. When he has time to come back, I will let him come and pay his respects to you."
The elders knew that Hu Ting did not want to reveal his grandson's whereabouts, so they just smiled and passed it off, saying that they were waiting to give him a gift when they met him.
They also had their own descendants, and they saw that Hu Ting's grandson, who had a three-spirit root aptitude, had reached the Foundation Establishment stage at this age,
How could they not envy him, and they wondered where he had gone through some adventures, and they also wanted to get one for their own descendants.
The elders never knew that Hu Ting had such a funny side, knowing that he was showing off his grandson, but he also had to consider their feelings, his grandson had reached the Foundation Establishment stage at this age, but in Hu Ting's mouth he was still not good enough, then what about their children?
Forget it, old Hu had not had an easy life, he lost his son without knowing it, and left a grandson who had suffered a lot in the previous years, now let him be happy for a while.
The elders did not hide anything when they went back, and then it spread from ten to a hundred, Hu Weicai's news of going out to practice and reaching the Foundation Establishment stage was passed back to Cui Yan Valley, causing the disciples in Cui Yan Valley to be shocked.
At the beginning, in such a deliberately guided atmosphere, not many disciples liked Hu Weicai, compared with the direct disciples of Hu Valley Master at that time, he was really far behind, and some disciples blamed him for losing face for the Valley Master, his existence was simply a black spot and a shame on the Valley Master.
But now such a waste in the eyes of others, actually walked ahead of most people and reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and the two direct disciples who were praised by the disciples before, had already disappeared.
Without deliberate guidance, the reputation of Hu Weicai in the valley gradually improved, and when someone said he was bad, there would immediately be admirers of Hu Valley Master jumping out to argue.
"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 harm our Cui Yan Valley? Before, there were two juniors of the elders who were more arrogant and domineering than him, but they were still able to get whatever they wanted in our valley, and later they followed a lot of lackeys, if it wasn't for the Valley Master to suppress them with all his strength, who knows how arrogant they would be."
"That's right, looking at it, the young Valley Master really didn't do anything to offend everyone, I remember that the young Valley Master was very quiet in the valley before, rarely ran out to cause trouble, but instead…"
"But instead what?"
"I seem to remember that the previous Sang Senior Brother and Wan Senior Sister always urged the young Valley Master to work hard on cultivation, not to let the Valley Master down, pointed out where the young Valley Master did wrong, I don't know what happened, as soon as they came out to clarify something, it seemed to anger everyone, the young Valley Master was beaten by the disciples who supported them, now it seems…"
"Could it be that they were jealous of the young Valley Master's identity, worried that the Valley Master would pass on Cui Yan Valley to the young Valley Master without their share? That makes sense."
This argument gradually faded away, thinking of the final inference, everyone closed their mouths in agreement, if it was really the two of them who deliberately targeted and suppressed the young Valley Master, then the two of them later had accidents one after another, it was not worth suspecting, but if it was really them who did it, then the Valley Master wasted them was also justified, they stretched their hands to the Valley Master's grandson, how much respect could they have for the Valley Master? Such a heinous crime, going to hell was also deserved.
What everyone regretted was that the young Valley Master did not reveal his identity and return to Cui Yan Valley, the disciples in the valley guessed where the young Valley Master was now, such a young Foundation Establishment cultivator, it should be hard to find out in the whole continent, so many disciples secretly started to look for him, there were only a few young Foundation Establishment cultivators recently, none of them looked like him, but there were also many suspicious people, maybe the young Valley Master was not the one who showed up on the surface.
The news of the little fatty next to Gu Yao reaching the Foundation Establishment stage was also known to outsiders, not that no one doubted him, but what was the status of Tian Fu Academy before? Would the young Valley Master join Tian Fu Academy with such a reputation?
But then they thought of Hu Valley Master's care for Gu Yao, if that little fatty was really Hu Weicai, why did the Valley Master treat Gu Yao so well, better than his direct disciples, there was also a reason for that.
The more they speculated, the more suspicious they felt, this voice was passed to Jiang Yan and others through the Star Moon Chamber of Commerce, making them come to Jian Feng curiously to ask the parties, they already knew that these people had a kind of method to make masks, which could resist the divine sense of others, so it was very likely that the little fatty had been wearing a mask all the time, and never showed his true face.
The little fatty hugged Liuli without knowing the trouble, he didn't know that his grandfather would reveal it in his happiness, causing him to be suspected of his identity, although he was indeed the second generation ancestor Hu Weicai.
The little fatty had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, but he always held the crystal snake tightly, just to prevent others from forcibly tearing off his mask, with the crystal snake there, who would dare to reach out, let go of Liuli!
"Senior brothers are too idle, right? Now Qian Xue Men is still not retreating from Qu Qiu Mountain Range, who knows when they will come back to fight, and the Dan Shi Branch is also being established, don't you care more?" The little fatty said unhappily.
"Just admit it or not, is it that hard? You just answer directly, and we will leave right away." Lu Qiusheng was persistent, in fact, by now he was already very clear, he still stuck to this question just to tease the little fatty.
There was indeed something wrong with Cui Yan Valley back then, otherwise the little fatty, as the grandson of Hu Valley Master, would not have to wander to Tian Fu Academy and follow Gu Yao, Gu Yao was not very conspicuous at that time, he did not show his great talent, and the little fatty's temperament was not in line with the legend of that second generation ancestor, so no one ever doubted his identity.
Gu Yao appeared at the door, looking at the playful Lu Qiusheng and the watching Jiang Yan on the side, helplessly said: "Two senior brothers, just spare the little fatty, the little fatty is just the little fatty, what difference does it make to you?"
Lu Qiusheng snorted unwillingly, but he still gave Gu Yao face and did not continue to argue.
Jiang Yan smiled and said: "Gu Yao, you are right, the little fatty is just the little fatty, I and Qiusheng came actually to congratulate the little fatty on his successful Foundation Establishment, we also prepared a gift, the little fatty don't be angry anymore."
In fact, when Hu Valley Master's words reached their ears, Jiang Yan had already determined the true identity of the little fatty, besides
Other features, the most important point was that, he, who was in charge of the Ascension Conference at that time, was very clear about the little fatty's spirit root situation, he didn't think that the little fatty would hide his identity, he didn't think much about it, now he heard this and suddenly realized that the little fatty's spirit root situation and the second generation ancestor of Cui Yan Valley were exactly the same?
This was the best evidence.
Jiang Yan said and took out a jade box, the little fatty of course would not really be angry with them, thanked them and took the box, opened it curiously, and exclaimed softly when he saw the contents: "Senior brother, this thing is too precious."
Gu Yao also saw it, the thing in the box looked very ordinary, just a stone, but this ordinary stone was extraordinary inside, it contained stone marrow, which was very beneficial for earth spirit root cultivators, with the help of this stone marrow, the little fatty could not only stabilize his current cultivation, but also improve it slightly, equivalent to several years of cultivation.
For earth spirit root cultivators, the stone marrow also had the function of cleansing the essence and marrow and removing the impurities in the body, which was also conducive to improving the purity of the spirit root.
Jiang Yan laughed: "I and Qiusheng don't mainly cultivate earth spirit root, the stone marrow is good, but it is useless to us, it is better to leave it to someone who needs it more, just accept it, let Gu Yao refine a few more furnaces of pills for us, better things can be exchanged."
The little fatty was speechless, they never asked Gu Yao to refine pills, Gu Yao would not agree, but he didn't refuse any more, accepted this favor, felt the pure earth spirit in the stone marrow, the little fatty couldn't wait to absorb it.
Gu Yao understood his psychology, waved his hand at him, told him to hurry up and close the door, the little fatty ran away in a puff of smoke, leaving the crystal snake to Gu Yao, so Jiang Yan and Lu Qiusheng enjoyed a cat and snake fight, laughing out loud.
In less than two days, Hu Valley Master entrusted a special caravan to send a batch of things to Gu Yao's hands, half of them were for Gu Yao, and the other half were carefully prepared by Hu Valley Master for his grandson, suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators to use cultivation resources.
The Dan Shi Branch in the city was also completed, and similarly, a branch base was also set up in Tian Shui City, although Tian Hai Gate was still harassed by small groups of beast tides, but Tian Shui City was always unharmed, the cultivators here still remembered Hu Valley Master and Gu Yao's kindness, so they welcomed this branch very much, and worked together to build it.
So far, various branches are either under construction or just completed, and there have been no more attacks and destructions, only because when the first branch base was built, it was attacked by unknown people, resulting in other cultivators uniting and angrily fighting back, at that time more than a dozen people only escaped three or four.
After that lesson, no matter what kind of disputes, they tacitly avoided the guild, or regarded the guild and its surrounding areas as a truce zone, as long as they came here, they could only fight verbally, but they could not use force, otherwise they would be the enemy of everyone.
This rule was not forcibly stipulated, but it was a tacit understanding of everyone, and it was consciously executed by the cultivators on the continent, and continued for a long time.
Learning from the previous lesson, someone was arranged to patrol on Jian Feng, that day everyone inspected the surroundings as usual, suddenly the aura of the whole Jian Feng seemed to stagnate for a moment, several people were shocked, could something have happened?
Immediately afterwards, the ground under their feet trembled, they were even more surprised, and quickly sent a message, and at this moment, several figures appeared in the air above Jian Feng, the leader was Elder Yi, Elder Yi not only did not
Show any worry, but stared closely at the direction of Jian Ge.
Gu Yao also stepped on a magic tool and came, excitedly said: "Elder Yi, is it that senior brother is going to leave the seclusion?" The cultivators below also heard it, and immediately calmed down their panic, and rejoiced, it turned out that it was the movement made by Chi Changye who entered Jian Ge, the bigger the movement, the better!
