Chapter 39: There’s a Shadow on the Fox, Everyone Sets Off

Only then did Shen Tianyi say, “We’re about to set off for the capital. Pack up and gather at the sect gate.”

Originally, he had only wanted to see why Gu Xi was absent, but he had not expected to be so surprised. He probed, “I remember that when I came to Sanqing Peak earlier, it wasn’t like this. It has changed greatly.”

“It seems that even the mountain peak has become much taller. Where did so much spiritual energy come from?”

Looking at the mountain peak that towered into the clouds, Shen Tianyi was puzzled. Could it be that these peaks had grown on their own? He was sure that the previous Sanqing Peak was not so tall, and the spiritual energy had not reached this level.

Gu Xi was already prepared for everyone’s questions. After all, the changes in Sanqing Peak were so obvious that only a blind person would not be able to see it. He used an excuse that he had thought of long ago.

“This is all thanks to Elder Wu, Elder Xie, Elder Qian, and the others...” Gu Xi mentioned several elders in one breath. They were all Peak Masters with extraordinary statuses.

“What does this have to do with them?”

“If they hadn’t given me things like the thousand-year-old Pine, the ten-thousand-year-old Jade Pool, the Little Breath Soil, and the Spirit Stone Jade Marrow, how would Sanqing Peak have become like this?”

Almost all of the treasures that Gu Xi mentioned were treasures of the Peak Masters of each peak, and they were rarely shown to others. No one knew what kind of methods Gu Xi used to get all of them to Sanqing Peak.

When everyone heard this, they were shocked, “What! Even Elder Qian, that stingy old man, gave you the Spirit Stone Jade Marrow.”

Hearing this, the elders were very impressed. Some Peak Masters were not easy to get along with, but Gu Xi did not miss anything and robbed almost every peak. It could be said that he had quite the means.

“The young people nowadays are really amazing. The Sanqing Peaks is now almost the best place for cultivation.”

“Not only that, even Purple Cloud Peak seems to be inferior to it now.”

“Sect Leader, you’ve taken in a good disciple and occupied such a good fengshui treasure ground.”

The elders all revealed envy through their words. Although they were envious, it was not worth fighting with a junior for territory. Otherwise, it would be too disgraceful. Not to mention that Gu Xi was Shen Tianyi’s personal disciple and had his backing.

Shen Tianyi’s expression was a little complicated when he heard the elders’ praise. He still had some doubts.

Even if these things were extremely precious and were considered rare treasures, could they really bring about such a huge change to Sanqing Peak?

He had a feeling that there were other things that he did not know. However, Gu Xi did not say anything more.

They were about to set off, so they could not delay their journey. Otherwise, they might miss the auction.

Shen Tianyi did not want to dwell on it. Gu Xi had a lot of secrets, so it was not surprising. As long as he was loyal to the sect, it would be fine.

After everyone was done packing, they set off under, with Wu Huaqing and a few other elders leading them.

There were not many people on the team. There were only a dozen or so people, but they were the elites among the elites of the sect. They were all personal disciples and could be said to be core figures, the pillars of the sect in the future.

It was not an exaggeration to say that the next Sect Leader and Peak Master were most likely chosen from among them. Other than Gu Xi, Leng Yun was also among them. Other than that, there were also a few female disciples, however, Gu Xi did not know them.

He came late and missed the chance to mingle around. In addition, after he was accepted as a personal disciple, he spent most of his time building the Sanqing Peak or going into seclusion. Naturally, he was not very familiar with the disciples of the Peak Masters.

“In the past, didn’t Elder Xie, Elder Li, and the others always lead the team? Why did elder Wu participate this year?”

“It’s all because of that pill. Alchemists from all over the world have rushed to the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce to see it. Elder Wu is naturally no exception. Perhaps he can use this opportunity to raise his strength.”

“I really don’t know what kind of super faction is able to buy that pill. I really want to see what the legendary pill looks like.”

“Don’t even think about our sect. But it’s good to broaden our horizons. I think this year’s Dao Conference will be even more difficult than before.”

Everyone was conversing there. Gu Xi heard a few words and could not help but mutter, “Could it be that they’re talking about my pill?”

The others had been accepted as personal disciples a long time ago, so they were quite familiar with each other. However, Gu Xi did not have anyone to talk to. Instead, it seemed as if he was isolated.

There was nothing he could do. He was the prodigy who came out of nowhere. It was said that he was very powerful, but no one saw him make a move. Moreover, his whereabouts were extremely mysterious, and no one ever saw him in the sect. Therefore, everyone was very curious, they also discussed it in private.

“I wonder how powerful he is. I wonder if he is better than Senior Brother Leng Yun?”

“Senior Brother Leng Yun should be stronger. Senior Brother Leng is the first disciple of the Heavy Sword Peak. His strength is extraordinary and he is well-known. Everyone knows that he killed a powerful demonic beast with one sword strike. He could easily crush his peers. He could be called the number one battle force in the sect.”

Many people had heard of Leng Yun’s name, and they held him in high esteem. The disciples of the Heavy Sword Peak had always been the core battle force of the sect, and Leng Yun was the best among them.

“In any case, I have never seen this Gu Xi make a move, but I think the Sect Leader’s judgment is not wrong. Perhaps he has some outstanding power.”

“I still think that Senior Brother Leng is more powerful. No one can shake his position. So what if he is the Sect Leader’s personal disciple? When the time comes, we will be able to see the truth during the capital’s Dao Conference Competition.”
