As soon as the ten-day period arrived, Gu Yao and his four companions returned to the cliff. Liu Qin, the Liu surname cultivator who reminded them of Di Feng's identity, also came back with them. He was rescued from the eye of the storm by them and was very grateful to Gu Yao and his group.
The people who came back were obviously fewer than those who went down. Almost all of those who did not come back died in the Black Wind Cliff. Gu Yao and his four companions did not know if they had a chance to survive if they were in that narrow mountain crevice, but none of them wanted to personally verify this possibility.
The four of them returned to the inn to rest. Liu Qin moved in with them because he was abandoned by his companions. He knew that Gu Yao and his group came here for the first time and taught them a lot of useful common sense.
"How did you get into trouble with Di Feng, the ghost who scares people?" After getting familiar with them, and with the gratitude of saving his life, Liu Qin asked about this matter with concern.
"Ghost who scares people? This name is quite apt," Tian Feirong got along well with Liu Qin, and there was no need to hide this matter from others, so he said, "Where did we go to provoke him? This kind of person doesn't reason at all. The thing is, we stayed in Jiangyun City for a while…"
Tian Feirong told them the story of their four people and the Mu family's grudge. The only one who had a feud with them was Mu An. And since Mu An and Di Feng belonged to the Tai Luo Sect, they could guess without evidence that Di Feng came for this reason. And Tian Feirong also told them about the incident of being attacked by Di Feng at the bottom of the cliff. Liu Qin didn't expect that the four of them came out intact like this, and he couldn't help but admire them greatly.
It was very rare to be able to fight back when Di Feng was staring at them, otherwise where did Di Feng's reputation of being a ghost who scares people come from?
"I have heard of the Tai Luo Sect's Mu An, who just formed his core. I didn't expect him to be such a person, a gentleman on the surface, but behind the scenes he colluded with someone like Di Feng. It's really disgusting." Liu Qin expressed his indignation.
Gu Yao and his group noticed the changes in their bodies after they came back from the Black Wind Cliff. They could achieve the effect of refining their bodies, which they noticed when they were at the bottom of the cliff. There was also another benefit, that was, the spiritual power in their bodies actually got refined and became more pure.
This made them surprised and curious at the same time. What was the strange energy in the black wind? It didn't leave any bad effects on the cultivators after infiltrating their bodies. On the contrary, it could refine and purify their spiritual power, which was faster and more efficient than their own hard work. Even Xu Chen, who they asked, didn't understand. There were many weird and strange places in the cultivation world, and even the great experts might not be able to master them all.
Anyway, this was a good thing for them, especially since there was a Di Feng with a huge plan outside. The four of them simply stayed in the Black Wind Town for a while longer.
The interval of the black wind weakening was very regular. Every month, there was a ten-day weakening period. So the four of them used this month to consolidate what they had gained from the Black Wind Cliff. A month later, they continued to go down the Black Wind Cliff when the black wind weakened.
In this way, they not only felt that the spiritual power in their bodies became more pure and refined, but also felt that the spiritual power increased. The most noteworthy thing was that the bottom of the cliff restricted the use of spiritual power, but it became a great place for Chi Changye to hone his sword skills. He was steadily moving towards the next stage.
Also because of the improvement of Chi Changye's sword skills, the extremely dangerous bottom of the Black Wind Cliff became much safer for them. If they met Di Feng again, Chi Changye dared to guarantee that he would not come back. But half a year passed, and they didn't meet Di Feng again, and they didn't see his figure in the Black Wind Town either.
In the past six months, Gu Yao has also made a name for himself in Black Wind Town. He spent some spirit stones to buy the recipes of special pills such as Yijing Pill, and then refined and sold them. They were sold privately by Tian Feirong and Xiaopangzi to the cultivators who needed them. They were very popular among the cultivators, because Gu Yao's pills were of better quality than those in the shops.
The owners behind those shops were very resentful of Gu Yao for taking their business, but Gu Yao was not the only one who gained fame. There was also Chi Changye, the sword cultivator. Their performance at the bottom of the cliff was witnessed by more than one person. So those who wanted to trouble Gu Yao had to pass Chi Changye first. Those people learned that Di Feng wanted to deal with these four people, and they hoped that Di Feng would act quickly.
On the one hand, they hoped that Di Feng would act, and on the other hand, they also investigated the origins of these four people. Because Gu Yao and his group never concealed their identities and origins, it was easy to find out about Jiangyun City and the very sensational auction there. This made the owners behind the shops wipe their sweat with relief. Fortunately, they hadn't acted against them yet.
They didn't expect that Yao Dan's pill technique was so amazing. He didn't set up a shop in Black Wind Town to sell pills, which was very kind to them. Otherwise, with his pill technique, as long as he bought a lot of raw materials and sold pills in large quantities, could they still sell the pills in their shops?
Looking at their actions in Jiangyun City, it was obvious that Black Wind Town would not be their long-term place. So they just turned a blind eye to their pill selling behavior. They wouldn't stay here forever, and it wouldn't affect their future business.
Half a year later, Gu Yao and his group decided to leave Black Wind Town. The environment at the bottom of the Black Wind Cliff was becoming less and less helpful for their improvement. There was also another important reason. That was, some cultivators came to him for pills when they learned that Gu Yao was in Black Wind Town. It was unrealistic to turn away all these pill seekers. It was impossible to meet all their demands. That would delay his own cultivation time. Gu Yao had been so busy with cultivation that he hadn't been able to study his pill technique well.
Another flying magic weapon came to Black Wind Town. The passers-by and resident cultivators glanced at it and withdrew their eyes. Needless to say, it was another one who went to Yao Dan's residence to ask for pills. At first they were interested in watching, but they got used to it after a long time. They still did what they had to do.
Of course, there was envy. Which of these pill seekers didn't bring a generous gift? The spirit stones alone would not be few. Some people said that Di Feng would stare at these four people, maybe he was going for the spirit stones in their hands. The pill seekers who came and went during this period of time made them guess how rich Gu Yao was.
Hearing the noise outside, Liu Qin came out and saw the several cultivators in front of him and said, "You are here to see Yao Dan, right? I'll help you see if Yao Dan has any time. Yao Dan usually spends most of his time in closed-door cultivation."
The four of them worked hard to cultivate, which made Liu Qin admire them very much. They were clearly outstanding among their peers, but they were not arrogant, and they never relaxed for a moment. This momentum made Liu Qin work harder in the past six months, and he had to say that his progress was quite big.
"Thank you for helping us pass the message. We are from…" One of them stepped forward and politely said to Liu Qin.
Liu Qin nodded, then pushed with his hand, and the door of the courtyard where Gu Yao and his group rented was pushed open. After entering, Liu Qin found something wrong. The formations and restrictions that had been set up before had disappeared. He hurried to the main hall, where it was clean and refreshing. There was only a letter and a jade bottle on the desk.
Liu Qin was shocked and opened the letter first. He had a hunch when the outside restriction disappeared. These people were afraid that they would leave without saying goodbye. The content of the letter was indeed so. It said that they were annoyed by the cultivators who came from far and near to ask for pills, and that the environment of the Black Wind Cliff was not very helpful to them. So they decided to leave here and look for opportunities elsewhere. They hoped to see Liu Dao again someday. They left a bottle of pills and hoped that it would be helpful to Liu Qin.
Liu Qin had a good time with Tian Feirong and his group during this period of time, and he was able to exchange for the pills he needed for cultivation. Now that they suddenly left, Liu Qin couldn't help feeling a bit sad. But he also knew that this was normal for cultivators. He and Yao Dan's four people were just strangers. If it wasn't for his kindness to remind them to be careful of Di Feng at the Black Wind Cliff, he wouldn't have spent half a year with them.
Liu Qin put away the pills and walked out with the letter. He told the visitors that Gu Yao and his four companions had left Black Wind Town. As long as they released their divine sense, they would know that there was no one in the yard, so there was no possibility of Liu Qin deceiving them. The group of cultivators had to leave with regret.
The news spread quickly, and the merchants in the town finally breathed a sigh of relief. But most people were sorry, because the quality of the pills they sold was much higher than those in the shops.
Some people were glad that they had just hoarded some, but they kept silent. They had to save these pills, and they wouldn't sell them even if the outsiders offered a higher price. Those who hadn't had time to buy them regretted it.
Gu Yao and his four companions were already on a flying magic weapon far away from Black Wind Town. They also changed to a new one, because the previous one was too obvious and easy to be found. And they also had to guard against Di Feng, who was hiding in the dark and didn't know where he was. With Di Feng's temperament, no one would believe that he would give up. Just the fact that Chi Changye wounded him was enough to make him hold a grudge.
Gu Yao came out of the cabin, and Chi Changye and his three companions were outside looking at the scenery and studying the map. Gu Yao gave each of them a bottle of pills.
Tian Feirong opened it and exclaimed, "Is this a limb regeneration pill?" There were two round and milky white pills in the jade bottle, which looked different from other pills.
"Yes, I finally refined it. Two pills for each person, one for self-defense, and one for unexpected situations. Keep them well.
"Although he still had some, he couldn't guarantee that the four of them wouldn't separate, so some life-saving pills would be stored on each of them.
"Thank you?" Tian Feirong and Xiaopangzi happily accepted them without refusing. This thing was not much different from the life-saving pill. If they lost their arms or legs, it would have a great impact on their combat power. The most terrible thing was that it would also affect their future cultivation.
Chi Changye also accepted it without saying anything. They left Black Wind Town, and they didn't want the breath of this pill to leak out a bit, so they were all refined by Gu Yao on the flying magic weapon.
