Knowing that Gu Yao's second uncle left him an important message, Tian Feirong and the others were happy for Gu Yao. Gu Yao said he wanted to stay here for a while and cultivate in seclusion, and they also supported him. Not to mention Gu Yao, Xiao Pangzi also felt a sense of urgency, and this place was suitable for cultivating in seclusion.
Tian Feirong also needed time to adapt and polish the spiritual power that grew in his body. His need for spiritual energy was reduced to the lowest.
Dong Lao Da and Ding Da Li's opinions were not that important, and they couldn't wait to stay here. Gu Yao didn't drive them away, but he circled a range for them. He didn't let them touch some spiritual materials. Those things would only attract people's attention if they were taken out, and they might expose this place.
Dong Lao Da and Ding Da Li were ecstatic in their hearts. They followed the right person this time. They didn't feel that Gu Yao's request was excessive. On the contrary, they were happy like mice that fell into a rice jar. They almost forgot their homeland.
So Dong Lao Da and the others stayed outside the purple bamboo forest, while Gu Yao and the four of them moved into the bamboo building. There were still traces of Gu Yao's uncle's life here, as well as a few items that Gu Yao's uncle left for him, a map and a few talismans.
Tian Feirong and Xiao Pangzi had already gone into seclusion. Gu Yao and Chi Changye stood in front of the bamboo table and looked at the map. The place shown on the map was several times larger than the Tianlin Continent, and one of the marked power ranges let the two of them know where the terrain was. It was the continent where the Changxian Sect, the other end of the teleportation array, was located.
Obviously, the Changxian Sect was just one of the sects on the opposite continent. What kind of position it occupied among the various sects, perhaps they would have to wait until they went there to understand, but one thing was clear, that was, the Changxian Sect was not the only dominant sect, and the people of the Tianlin Continent only knew that there was the Changxian Sect on the opposite side and did not know the others.
"Big Brother Ye, do you think the cultivators of the other sects know about the existence of our Tianlin Continent?" Gu Yao asked curiously.
Chi Changye shook his head: "Maybe they know, maybe they don't, but the latter possibility is not high. After all, it has been a long time. It is hard to believe that they can keep the secret for so long."
The sects that had competitive relationships with each other would all bury nails in each other. How many things were not clear to each other?
The two of them memorized the map and then Gu Yao collected it. Compared to the others, except for the teleportation array, the two of them felt that this map was the most important. Otherwise, they would be blind when they went to the other side. With this map, the two of them had a little more confidence in their hearts.
The few talismans were all top-grade talismans. Chi Changye also let Gu Yao collect them: "It seems that Xiao Yao's uncle has an extraordinary talent in making talismans, just like Xiao Yao's talent in alchemy. Except for the thunder talismans, I am far inferior to Xiao Yao's uncle in the others."
He initially made talismans relying on his soul control power from his original golden core cultivation. Now if he made seven-grade talismans, the quality of the talismans would drop a lot. And if he hadn't gained something in the Cangkun Secret Realm, it would be a troublesome thing to make seven-grade talismans. He didn't have the ability to deduce seven-grade talismans by himself.
"Big Brother Ye is a sword cultivator. Comparing your talisman making skills with a talisman master is putting the cart before the horse." Gu Yao corrected.
Chi Changye smiled and stretched out his hand to rub Gu Yao's hair.
There was also a special pill room here. A few jade bottles were scattered on a table. The pills in the jade bottles could still be distinguished as the ones made by the original owner, but they were all low-grade and medium-grade pills, leftovers that were left behind. It seemed that Gu Yao's uncle could also refine pills, but his alchemy skills were inferior to his talisman skills. But for most cultivators, this was considered versatile.
After figuring out the situation here, Gu Yao began to cultivate in seclusion. He left the outside to Chi Changye. As for the wood spirit that the kitten was obsessed with, the two of them didn't deliberately look for it. After a long time, they guessed that it would come out on its own, because Gu Yao felt a curious gaze several times when he walked around the purple bamboo forest. This was a curious little thing.
After a wave of searching for Gu Yao and Chi Changye's whereabouts on the Tianlin Continent, although there were occasional voices, they were all proved to be unfounded. Gradually, everyone's life returned to normal. These two people seemed to have lost their traces on the continent.
"President, has Gu Dan Shi not contacted you yet? The cultivator who brought out the body refining technique came to ask again." Hu Ting sighed and smiled: "This is a reward posted by Gu Dan Shi himself. Whether it meets the requirements or not, it has to be appraised by Gu Dan Shi himself. If Gu Dan Shi doesn't show up, we have no way. Maybe Gu Dan Shi is in seclusion somewhere. He will show up naturally when he comes out." Hu Ting was recently asked by many people about Gu Yao's whereabouts, but he really didn't know. Some people even guessed that he had followed Chi Changye to find another way to leave the Tianlin Continent, and he was no longer on the continent. Hu Ting found it funny. He still knew that the few of them were still on the continent and they were all alive and well.
"The president is right. This technique is only interesting to Gu Dan Shi. Which other alchemist would bother to look at it more." The alchemist who came to ask also laughed. Most alchemists had limited talents and needed to spend a lot of time in alchemy. And body refining was also time-consuming and energy-consuming. Which alchemist would be willing to waste time and energy on this?
Hu Ting's thoughts were different. He had experienced the golden core heavenly tribulation. If it weren't for the formation of the Tianfu Academy's secret land to help him, he would be very dangerous in the heavenly tribulation with his strength and physical strength. Just look at Chi Changye's heavenly tribulation. The better the talent of the cultivator, the stronger the thunder tribulation that descended. Others thought that Gu Dan Shi was unpredictable, but in his opinion, Gu Yao was looking far ahead and worked hard on body refining, instead of just pursuing the lifespan of hundreds of years in front of him.
In a blink of an eye, a year passed. Dong Lao Da and Ding Da Li sat by a small stream, holding spirit fruits in their hands and gnawing. If they saw such spirit fruits outside a year ago, they would cherish them and hide them. How could they gnaw so casually? They would feel tasteless after gnawing too much. Sometimes they roasted the fish they caught from the stream and squeezed the juice of the spirit fruits on them. If the guys in Yuanyang Town saw this, they would surely scold them for wasting.
Ding Da Li was happy: "Boss, when do you think we can build the foundation?"
In fact, being able to cultivate to the sixth or seventh level of Qi Refining in an environment like Yuanyang Town was not considered too bad in terms of talent. So now that they were in such a cave heaven, their cultivation level rose rapidly in this year. The two of them experienced a taste of happiness.
Dong Lao Da thought more deeply: "We need to prepare a few more Foundation Establishment Pills for our situation. After all, our foundation is not solid, and we have delayed for so many years. We can't compare with Tian Er Shao and the others. It is much more difficult to build the foundation." Even if they reached the peak of Qi Refining, it wouldn't work.
Ding Da Li thought more simply: "We didn't dare to think about it before, but now that we have this opportunity, we have to try it. Even if we can't build the foundation in the end, I, Old Ding, will be satisfied in this life. When we go back to our Yuanyang Town, except for those few old guys, and of course the boss, I, Ding Da Li, can also be considered a master."
Dong Lao Da was a little more greedy than Ding Da Li. If he couldn't build the foundation at this step, he would be more desperate. He knew that Gu Yao and the others had no shortage of Foundation Establishment Pills on them, but he also understood that they were allowed to stay here and cultivate, and they were not forbidden to touch the things here. They were very generous to them. So if they wanted Foundation Establishment Pills, they had to find another way.
Seeing a flash of silver at the end of the stream, Dong Lao Da quickly jumped up and said, "Quick, get ready, the silver-scaled fish are here!"
"Are they here? Great, it's not in vain that we waited for a few days!" This stream was connected to an underground river. Every once in a while, a small silver fish the length of a finger would swim out. Because they were too small, no one paid attention to them at first. But Chi Changye accidentally discovered them once, caught a net and brought them back to make soup. Just by smelling the fragrance, they knew it was a good thing. They were so small that they threw them aside and ignored them.
The two of them seized the opportunity and caught all the silver-scaled fish that came out this time. They brought the silver-scaled fish in the bucket to the outside of the purple bamboo forest. This time, they saw Gu Yao, who rarely showed up in this year, and were overjoyed.
Gu Yao made a gesture, and the two of them walked into the bamboo forest. The spiritual energy in the bamboo forest was more dense and pure than the outside.
"Gu Dan Shi, these are the silver-scaled fish we caught. We give them to Gu Dan Shi." Dong Lao Da handed over the wooden bucket.
Gu Yao had eaten the fish soup made from these fish once, and it was delicious. He couldn't forget it after eating it once. The key was that these silver-scaled fish had some special effects. They were a kind of medicinal fish, so he was happy to see these fish.
He reached out and took it: "Thank you for your trouble. I see that you are also close to building the foundation. I happen to have a few Foundation Establishment Pills on me. They are useless to me anyway, so I'll give them to you."
Dong Lao Da and Ding Da Li almost shed tears of gratitude. They quickly took the jade bottle with both hands: "Thank you, Gu Dan Shi. Thank you, Gu Dan Shi."
Gu Yao waved his hand and turned back to the bamboo building. The two of them also had the sense to leave the bamboo building and ran back to their temporary residence.
Chi Changye naturally saw the situation outside. He smiled helplessly at the incoming Gu Yao: "You are making their appetite bigger and bigger."
Gu Yao smiled: "This is also fate. The animal skin and the iron piece were obtained from them. Staying with them and helping them build the foundation is a kind of repayment. They are not like the other three families. They have no foundation. With them here, the ordinary cultivators in Yuanyang Town can also have a shelter."
It was not good to have one family alone. It was better to have more forces competing with each other. Although Dong Lao Da had his own selfishness in his actions, he and Chi Changye did benefit from it. Compared to others, Dong Lao Da still had some sense of measure.
Chi Changye didn't say anything more. He took the fish and processed it. Finally, he boiled these silver-scaled fish into a pot of fish soup. The fish soup was snow-white, and the fish meat almost melted in the soup. Tian Feirong and Xiao Pangzi were tempted by the fragrance and came out of their rooms. They shared the fish soup.
