After finishing all the Dan medicines, Tian Feiyang felt numb in his heart, feeling a sense of rarity.
When they came out together, the senior brothers and sisters were sitting together, speaking. Among the newly-entered disciples, there was only Tian Feiyang. These old disciples both tried to win him over and subconsciously exclude him, not daring to suppress him openly, after all, Tian Feiyang had a senior in the Foundation Building Period.
But this time, they warmly greeted Tian Feiyang.
"Junior Brother Tian, I heard that there is a Dan genius appearing at our Ascension Conference? I heard that this Dan genius didn't choose Cuiyan Valley, not choosing to be the direct disciple of Master Hugu, but instead entered the Tianfu Academy? I heard that many beauty and skincare Dan medicines have emerged from the Tianfu Academy, which were researched by that Dan genius, is it true?"
"I heard that this Dan genius is even selling Ninth Grade High-Level Dans at the Tianfu Academy, and they are all top-grade Dans, is it true?"
For a while, everyone was talking at once, and Tian Feiyang didn't know which one to respond to. Although he didn't know much, he could boldly speculate that the Dan genius they were talking about should be Gu Yao himself, and the Dan medicines he obtained were from Gu Yao.
In this case, the Dan Master who secretly sold top-grade Bihua Dans in the Ten-Faction City that they were all looking for should also be Gu Yao. He felt a sense of honor and at the same time some embarrassment. His vision was not as good as his second brother's. He had always thought that he had already esteemed Gu Yao highly enough, but now he realized that if this doesn't count as a genius, then no one can live up to this title.
"I'm not very clear either, I only found out after listening to the senior brothers and sisters talk about it. You know, it's all among the newcomers, I've been trying to get to know them earlier," Tian Fei Yang said with a smile.
"That's true. If it were me, I would also try to get to know a future alchemy master. This is an opportunity that cannot be sought after. Anyone who knows this alchemy master will truly have luck!" The disciple speaking had a look of envy and longing, which made Tian Fei Yang couldn't help but tap the storage bag on his body. In it were pills personally refined by the future alchemy master.
Tian Fei Yang thought to himself, wondering if this kind of news would spread back to Yuan Yang Town. And would the people of the Gu family in Yuan Yang Town know that this alchemy prodigy is Gu Yao? If it did spread, it would be quite interesting.
The Gu family had missed a great opportunity that could have propelled the entire family to greatness.
Tian Ru called Tian Fei Yang over and asked, "The alchemy prodigy they are talking about... might it be that young man from the Gu family?"
She thought about it. Among the newcomers that Tianfu Academy had accepted, it seemed that only Gu Yao's alchemy skills were exceptional. But she also wondered if she was guessing wrong because Gu Yao had a four-spirit root aptitude.
After a slight hesitation, Tian Fei Yang said, "Nephew doesn't know, but Gu Yao's cultivation has reached the sixth level of Qi Condensation."
Tian Ru waved her hand and said, "Never mind, it's pointless for me to ask now. You go and rest." "Yes, aunt."
Tian Fei Yang took his leave, consciously keeping the matter of the pills on his person hidden. He could tell that his aunt still didn't quite believe in Gu Yao's potential and talent, so it was best for him not to meddle. Besides, Gu Yao had already entered Tianfu Academy, which was now a certainty for the Tian Hai Sect.
Tianfu Academy.
Late at night, after finishing his meditation and cultivation, Gu Yao climbed into bed.
Upon _ opening his eyes again, Gu Yao found himself in a fog. The mist resembled cotton clusters, different from the mist created by the ghostly mist insect he had previously encountered. Intuitively feeling no harm, he continued to walk forward in a certain direction, and a path of blue stones spread beneath his feet.
The view gradually became clear, and at the end of the blue stone path, four scaled black pillars appeared. Just as Gu Yao curiously wanted to take a closer look, a huge beastly head suddenly loomed above him, making him feel as though the gaping mouth could blow him into the sky with a single breath.
Startled, Gu Yao hastily stepped backward. It was then that he realized the four black pillars were the creature's four limbs. "You... what kind of creature are you?" he asked.
In the next moment, the distance between him and the creature infinitely increased. The blue stone path vanished beneath his feet, and both he and the creature were standing in the void. Flames surrounded the creature's four legs, propelling it toward him, its mouth gaping open.
"Child of ignorance, humble two-legged creature, I am the Black Nightmare Beast, unparalleled in every realm. Why have you not prostrated yourself before me?" the creature declared.
"The Black Nightmare Beast?" Gu Yao muttered to himself, "Does it really look like what Chi Changye described? Did I dream about it because he mentioned it during the day?" Eventually, he dismissed the beast from his dream, instructing it to leave and not disturb his sleep.
Enraged, the Black Nightmare Beast scorched the surroundings and threatened to harm Gu Yao.
Suddenly, Gu Yao was startled awake by a cat's meows. It was a dream, and Gu Yao couldn't believe he had felt pain in it. He rubbed his forehead and laughed at the absurdity of it all. He proceeded to describe the dream to Chi Changye, finding humor in the similarity of the beast to a teenage fantasy.
Noting a strange wave within the dream, Chi Changye had come to the rescue. He realized that the cat, which was in his hands, was behind it all.
| "Did you think that daydreaming leads to dreaming at night?"
"Really? Is that not the case?" Gu Yao was surprised.
Chi Changye shook the black kitten in his hands and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be related to this little one. It can be confirmed that it has some connection with the Black Nightmare Beast, and it seemed to be controlling your dreams, but it didn't seem to have had much effect."
Believing that without his presence, the black kitten would not be able to achieve its goal, Chi Changye didn't want to leave it unattended.
"It?" Gu Yao pointed at the black kitten, thinking of what Chi Changye had said about the Black Nightmare Beast. Could it really be true?
Gu Yao felt that the situation he had experienced was bewildering enough, but he hadn't anticipated that a cat could enter a person's dreams and converse with them, seeming to have a rather haughty and proud demeanor.
Chi Changye's eyes flickered with a hint of danger as he asked the cat, "Shouldn't we establish a contract? I won't leave you with Gu Yao without it. What do you say?"
Stunned, the black kitten hesitated before reluctantly crawling towards Gu Yao and bit his finger, marking the beginning of their unique bond.
Chi Changye gave a full explanation, disregarding the cat's angry gaze. It was a balanced contract, ensuring the cat did not cause harm and allowing it to stay by Gu Yao's side.
Blushed, Gu Yao bid the black kitten to leave if it did not wish to be constrained. Chi Changye's gaze towards Gu Yao grew softer, and he could see that Gu Yao was firmly standing by his side. Those unrelated events and people from the past were not as important as he thought.
