Gu Yao and his three companions completely disappeared in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and the Mu family sent more people into the mountain to search, but there was no clue. So the Mu family issued a reward to the cultivators inside and outside the city, and more cultivators entered the mountain, but they still found nothing.
"Those guys won't be gnawed by the monsters in the mountain, right? Otherwise, why are they so…"
Someone snorted, obviously not convinced by this statement. The person who said it jumped up to protest, and the cultivator who snorted said: "Just by killing the group of cultivators led by Hua Gu without leaving anyone alive, can't it prove that they are very powerful? So based on the current foundation-building cultivators who enter the mountain to search, they are impossible to find, and even if they are found, they are doomed to die."
"How should we find them? Are they really alive?"
"At least we have to send someone with the strength of a golden core to go in." The cultivator who snorted finished speaking and didn't care whether these people believed it or not. He walked out of the tavern alone, shaking his fan. He was also curious about this matter before, so he mingled in the crowd and went to see the scene. Who would dare to go into the deep mountain without this strength? They were going to enter the mountain before they offended the Mu family, clearly looking for a place to retreat and cultivate.
This cultivator was very curious, how would the Mu family solve this matter now? He just watched the fun.
Mu Quan wanted to call a golden core cultivator to go in, but even if he had a genius brother and a patriarch father, the golden core cultivator was not someone who could be ordered casually.
Half a year later, the people in Jiang Yun City almost forgot about the four cultivators named Chang Ye. At this time, Tai Luo Sect sent a message that Mu An of the Mu family successfully formed a golden core and advanced to a golden core cultivator. He would return to the Mu family after stabilizing his cultivation. The Mu family was overjoyed.
The other forces in Jiang Yun City had different reactions to this news, but undoubtedly the Mu family and Mu An became the most popular topics. As people discussed Mu An enthusiastically, some people brought up the matter half a year ago.
"Mu An is back, he will definitely avenge his younger brother, right? A few foreign cultivators dared to attack the Mu family, how could they have a good end?"
"Maybe these people have become food in the stomachs of the monsters in the mountain, where is it worth the young master Mu An's action?"
The usual voices that criticized the Mu family for being too domineering mostly disappeared, but there were also some people who did not comment, just watching the fun.
Yan family.
The Yan patriarch looked at Yan Xun and said: "I didn't expect Mu An to be so amazing. He was only a few years old and he had already formed a golden core. Do we really have to marry Yu Chen to him?"
In this half year, Yan Yu Chen had been in seclusion and did not come out. Mu Quan had taken several beautiful concubines, but he still said that he would not let go of Yan Yu Chen.
Yan Xun frowned. Half a year had passed, and there was no news from Chang Ye and his four companions. If he hadn't seen their combat power with his own eyes, he would have doubted that they had died in the mouths of the monsters. "The Mu family clearly wants to humiliate our Yan family. If we really let Yu Chen go, will the Mu family stop? Our Yan family will only become the vassal of the Mu family if we retreat step by step. Besides, Mu An may not be the youngest golden core cultivator."
Yan Xun sneered disapprovingly. After seeing Chang Ye, he was not so shocked by Mu An, although this matter was quite unexpected. The Mu family didn't leak any wind before.
He believed that Chang Ye's bone age was younger than Mu An, and obviously Chang Ye formed a golden core earlier than Mu An. As for the three young cultivators around him, maybe they would form a golden core at any time. What could Mu An compare with them?
The Yan patriarch thought about this situation and could only sigh. If Mu An continued to develop like this, the day when they became the vassal of the Mu family was not far away, so they had to strengthen the cultivation of the younger generation.
The younger generation of the Yan family was also talking about this matter. Yan Yu Yin was surrounded by several peers, and they were all chattering.
"What should Yu Chen do now? Mu Quan will definitely not let her go, right? This guy is too bad."
"If it were Mu An, you would definitely want to marry him right away, right? Such a young golden core cultivator, he has a great chance of becoming a nascent soul powerhouse in the future." Someone fantasized, but Mu An was such a genius that they couldn't imagine.
"Yu Yin, do you think that cultivator named Chang Ye is afraid? He hasn't come out yet, does Yu Chen have to stay in seclusion forever?"
Yan Yu Yin was also dissatisfied with the cultivator named Chang Ye. Yu Chen was in such a difficult situation, and Chang Ye was still not a man, how could he be so indifferent? She had applauded him when he killed the group of people led by Hua Gu, but she didn't expect him to be a coward.
"Who knows that guy, he has no guts, he doesn't even have the courage to protect a woman, what does he have to deserve Yu Chen?"
Gu Yao and his three companions were completely unaware of the various things in Jiang Yun City. They were surrounded by layers of monsters, either retreating and cultivating or fighting with the monsters. They had a happy life, but the monsters around them always couldn't help but move. Where did the trouble come from, hurry up and leave.
The mountain they were staying at was originally occupied by a tiger with the strength of a golden core. The tiger had scales on its limbs, and didn't know what bloodline it was mixed with. Before Gu Yao and his companions arrived, the tiger was the king of this area, so the spiritual energy of the mountain he occupied was the most abundant. It caught the eye of Chi Chang Ye, who didn't use a sword, and fought with the tiger with fists and feet for two days and two nights. In the end, the tiger retreated, reluctantly giving up the mountain.
The tiger was not reconciled to his failure, and gave up his cave to others. So after he recovered from his injury, he continued to look for trouble with Chi Chang Ye. As for the other three human cultivators, he didn't care about them. They were too weak, and he could blow them away with a breath. Bullying them would lose his tiger prestige.
But he didn't know that he was the cheapest or the one who actively came to practice with them.
Although the tiger's strength steadily increased in the setbacks, his opponent became more and more abnormal. Now he couldn't do much when he came to the door. Chi Chang Ye impatiently kicked him out with one foot. In the end, the tiger had to run away another monster with the same strength of a golden core, and moved his nest completely and settled down. It was just that occasionally on the night of the full moon, he lay on the top of the mountain and looked at the moon in the sky, and then roared at his original mountain unwillingly.
A flying bird with beautiful wings flew over from the air, and the tiger below roared a few times and startled the bird. It annoyed it and spit out a few fireballs and threw them down. The tiger hurriedly put out the fire, burning his tiger hair was not fun. Really, he just roared a few times, and that broken bird actually wanted to burn him to death. He just knew how to please a weak human cultivator, who could just make a few pills. Human cultivators were the most cunning.
Gu Yao, who lived halfway up the mountain, heard the pleasant chirping outside, and immediately knew who was coming. He hurried out from the temporary cave and saw the beautiful bird circling in the air and landing. He came to him and turned into a human form. She was a very beautiful woman, but there was a bit of sharpness between her eyebrows, which made people know that she was not easy to mess with.
"Gu Dan Shi," the woman saw Gu Yao but was very polite, this politeness even surpassed that of Chi Chang Ye, "This is the harvest of our clan in the recent period, Gu Dan Shi, see how many pills you can exchange."
Although she didn't know why Gu Yao ran to their demon cultivator's territory to mix, it didn't prevent this demon cultivator named Bai Qiu Yan from being happy, because Gu Yao was a very good pill master, as long as he helped him collect the spiritual herbs in this mountain range, he could exchange for pills that were very suitable for monsters from his hands. Many of them were top-grade pills, and they couldn't get them at ten times the price in the towns where human cultivators lived, so why not do it.
Bai Qiu Yan handed over a storage bag, Gu Yao took it and checked it, and then threw a few jade bottles over. Bai Qiu Yan was very happy to receive it. Seeing Chi Chang Ye who came out with a cold face behind him, he couldn't help but tease: "Gu Dan Shi, why don't you stay here with us? Whatever spiritual herbs you want, we can find a way to help you get them. Gu Dan Shi, such a cultivator, will be envied by them when he goes to the human cultivators. Didn't you come here like this before?"
The flying birds got more information than the ground beasts. At first, Gu Yao and his companions killed a group of cultivators when they entered the mountain. These flying birds knew about it. There were also many human cultivators who entered the mountain to inquire about the whereabouts of Gu Yao and his companions. Bai Qiu Yan's clan also knew about it, but they didn't care, because those who came in were not their opponents at all, so they didn't even have the idea of mentioning it.
"This is not a matter of concern for Daoist Bai. We have our own destination. As for Daoist Bai, who is like this, going to the human settlement, it is easy to be plucked by people and made into clothes." Chi Chang Ye retorted without politeness.
Bai Qiu Yan was not annoyed, but laughed loudly. After laughing, he didn't continue to provoke Chi Chang Ye. He also knew that Gu Yao and his companions couldn't stay for too long, so he waved his hand and said: "I see that Gu Dan Shi's body is full of blood and energy, and the spiritual energy is surging. It's better to retreat and form a golden core as soon as possible. I believe that soon, our mountain range will have one more, no, maybe three golden core cultivators." The other two human cultivators were not bad either.
"Thank you for your good words, Senior Bai. I do need to retreat, so I can't exchange pills with the Daoists in the mountains during this time."
Gu Yao said with a gentle face, but Bai Qiu Yan's face was stagnant. He watched Gu Yao finish speaking and turned back to the cave with Chi Chang Ye. Bai Qiu Yan regretted stomping his feet on the spot. Oh, just to stimulate Chi Chang Ye, this bastard who specializes in finding their golden core demon cultivators to practice, he actually annoyed Gu Dan Shi. Gu Dan Shi, don't go so fast, we still want to exchange some more pills, or wait for you to come out and exchange it.
Gu Yao really said that he would retreat and retreat. In fact, he was behind. Tian Fei Rong and Xiao Pang Zi had already retreated for a while, preparing to attack the golden core. Gu Yao spent longer time on body refining than the two of them in this half year. It was the two jade slips from Tian Lin Continent. Because of this, without deliberate preparation, he also reached the edge of forming a golden core and urgently needed to retreat.
