Chapter 197

Maybe it was bad luck, or maybe their standards were too high nowadays, they wandered around for a long time but didn't come across anything that caught their eye. In the meantime, some people dared to sell them their so-called unknown treasures from some ancient mansion, but unfortunately they were all fake. At one stall, Gu Yao bought a few seeds with a strange expression on his face, but those seeds looked like they had been stored for too long and almost lost their vitality. He didn't even bargain much, and casually threw a few spirit stones to the stall owner who recommended them to them. The stall owner took the spirit stones and turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

"What kind of seeds are these?" Tian Feirong asked curiously, not thinking that Gu Yao was fooled, but feeling that his luck was bad. Even if there were good things in front of him, he probably wouldn't recognize them.

Gu Yao pinched a seed that was almost petrified and said, "This one is the seed of the Wood Dwelling Fruit. With this, this trip to Xiongtou Fort was not in vain."

Chi Changye raised his eyebrows, he could feel a very weak vitality inside, and it might be a waste seed in the hands of others, but Gu Yao was different. When he cultivated the Wood Dwelling Fruit and took it with the Fire Dwelling Fruit, it would be very beneficial to Gu Yao.

It was a great opportunity for wood and fire dual-element cultivators to encounter these two kinds of spirit fruits and take them together.

Gu Yao took the whole Fire Dwelling Fruit tree from the Yan Clan's secret realm into his space. When the fruits were ripe, he picked a few for Tian Feirong, who didn't ask where the tree went with Xiao Pudgy.

Tian Feirong and Xiao Pudgy also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they had some gains, as for whether these seeds could grow, did they need to say?

Gu Yao had the ability to turn decay into magic, they just believed in Gu Yao.

They also bought two things casually, and then left the black market with Gu Yao. In fact, there were a few slightly valuable things mixed in a pile of miscellaneous items, but unfortunately they were only useful for cultivators who had not yet built their foundation. The two of them thought about it and didn't make a move, maybe some other lucky cultivators could get them and get some improvement.

After leaving the black market, there were still various eyes following behind them. Several attempts in the black market seemed to coincidentally pass by Gu Yao and the others, which also made the people behind them more cautious.

Soon, a mansion with a style that was quite different from the environment here entered their sight. It was not only tall and neat, but also relatively luxurious, well, the kind of luxurious that was golden.

Xiao Pudgy pointed to the mansion and asked, "The owner of this place has an extraordinary identity?"

Zhao Dagou said with a trembling heart, "The person living inside is Jin Lao Da, the boss of Xiongtou Fort. He has a lot of men under him. Anyway, after I came here, Jin Lao Da was already here, and his position has not been shaken by the other two bosses for many years."

Xiao Pudgy chuckled, "Jin Lao Da? No wonder he used so much gold to decorate the facade."

The four of them had no intention of finding out the details of this mansion, and planned to leave directly from the front, but at this time some familiar voices behind them made Gu Yao's footsteps pause slightly, and Tian Feirong also looked back with some surprise.

Inside Jin Lao Da's mansion, a few people were walking outside, and one of them said eagerly, "Please help us to say a few good words for our Gu family, we will be very grateful. Here are a few bottles of pills, you can use them first, and if you need anything, just send us a message."

He said and stuffed a few jade bottles into the hands of those people, and the cultivators accepted them with a smile, and their faces became more smiling after getting the benefits, "Alright, our boss often mentions your Gu family's old ancestor, saying that he hasn't seen him for a long time. By the way, our Jin Lao Da also admires the genius of your Gu family, who is famous throughout the Tianlin Continent. In fact, if you really have something, you can go to him and he will surely solve any problem for you. I won't lie to you, steward, that bottle of Yun Ling Dew is our Jin Lao Da's treasure."

The steward smiled bitterly, "Well then, I'll come back to bother you next time, I'll leave first, you stay."

"Goodbye."

The people parted at the gate of the mansion, and the cultivators from Jin Lao Da's house watched the Gu family's people go away, with a mocking look on their faces.

One of them took out a jade bottle and opened it, and said, "This time the Gu family really spent a lot of money on us brothers, usually they wouldn't sell such pills, now they are sending them to our hands for free."

"Yeah, the Gu family used to be so arrogant, but now? They really brought it on themselves, didn't you see how embarrassed the steward's face was when we mentioned the Gu family's genius, wasn't he the one they pushed out themselves? Now the Gu family has fallen into the worst family in Yuanyang Town."

"What does the Gu family want the Xia Ling Dew from our boss for?"

"Don't ask, this kind of thing has nothing to do with us, we just do our own thing, let's go, let's go back."

No one noticed the few people who were staying not far away, Zhao Dagou was originally scared and his legs were trembling, was Jin Lao Da's house's corner so good to listen to? But he didn't expect that they just stood here, and no one noticed them, including the Gu family members who had just walked past them in a hurry.

"Xia Ling Dew? Jin Lao Da has Xia Ling Dew in his hands?" Gu Yao asked Zhao Dagou curiously.

Zhao Dagou hurriedly said, "It's the recent rumor that Jin Lao Da got more than a dozen drops of Xia Ling Dew in his early years. It is said that Xia Ling Dew is a spiritual thing of heaven and earth, and it only condenses one drop in a specific time and place every hundred years, and this Xia Ling Dew is also a good thing for healing internal injuries."

"Someone from the Gu family was injured? Even their own pills didn't work? Is it the Gu family's master or the old ancestor who often closes himself up?" Gu Yao became more curious, he had also heard of Xia Ling Dew, but it was not so rare to him, although it had some miraculous effects, but it was not irreplaceable, and he could refine the best pills, which were better than Xia Ling Dew.

Zhao Dagou shook his head, "I haven't heard of it, I guess even if someone was injured, this news wouldn't reach our ears, right? Jin Lao Da dares to mock the Gu family, but we don't dare, do we?"

The Gu family still had a deterrent effect on these low-level cultivators, they could only watch the Gu family's jokes behind their backs, but they didn't dare to do anything in front of them.

Chi Changye looked at Gu Yao, "Do you want to go and see?"

Gu Yao hesitated slightly and said, "Okay, let's go and see, anyway, we have to go there to find someone, it's on the way." Then he waved his hand to Zhao Dagou and said, "You can go, this time you met us, you were lucky, next time you may not be."

"Yes, yes, I will change in the future, I will roll now!" Zhao Dagou ran away, wishing to get away from these people as far as possible, he didn't expect to have a chance to survive, and when he ran far enough, his legs were still weak.

Gu Yao and the others flew out directly from the air, and along the way they saw the Gu family's people below riding on scale-horned horses. The Gu family's steward had a solemn face and was heavy-hearted. Gu Yao didn't stop and flew past.

But the steward felt something and looked up at the sky, but there was nothing in the air except the birds flying by. He thought he was being paranoid, and thought there was something in the air staring at them.

"Steward, will Jin Lao Da agree to our Gu family? Or… should we try to find Gu Yao Young Master?" The person who came out with the steward to do things was also the master's confidant guard, and no one else dared to say such things. In the current situation, they also had some grievances and regrets towards the Gu family master and the second branch. They didn't pay much attention to Gu Yao back then, otherwise they might have been able to get Gu Yao Young Master's help. Didn't they see that Tian Feirong, the second young master of the Tian family, had always followed Gu Yao and built his foundation with that kind of aptitude.

The steward shook his head and sighed, "You only hear outsiders say how good Gu Yao Young Master's temperament is, and how generous he is, but that's for those who haven't offended Gu Yao Young Master. Have you forgotten the days when Gu Yao Young Master left the Gu family and hadn't left Yuanyang Town yet? The people who went to the Gu family were all slapped in the face by Gu Yao Young Master and sent back."

"If there was really a chance to make up, I believe the master would be willing to kneel down to Gu Yao Young Master, but unfortunately…" Unfortunately what? Unfortunately, there was a deadlock between Gu Yao and the Gu family, and they offended him badly, and Gu Yao Young Master was not a person who valued blood ties and family.

Unless Gu Yao's biological mother was still alive, there would be a glimmer of hope.

Now who doesn't say that the Gu family has a short-sighted vision, Gu Yao is a rare talent in a thousand years, and they missed it, and now they can only rely on Gu Yao's surname to prevent others from reaching out to the Gu family. The Gu family was laughed at by others, but they also got some benefits, but they just couldn't raise their heads outside.

"What about Gu Yang, the eldest young master?"

The steward shook his head, he had been gone for ten years, and there was no news at all. Even the master was getting more and more disappointed. He seemed to be unable to make a name for himself, otherwise he would have found a way to come back at the last Ascension Conference.

"What about Gu Chen, the young master?"

The steward's face sank, and the others shut their mouths. They were the master's confidants, but they didn't even know where Gu Chen Young Master was. They didn't know where the master had sent Gu Chen Young Master, but they hoped he didn't do anything stupid.

They were still on the road, but Gu Yao and his three companions had already entered Yuan Yang Town. The chubby one looked around curiously. Among the four of them, three had left from here. He thought that this inconspicuous town should have become famous in the whole Tian Lin Continent by now.

The chubby one was indeed right. For a while, there were many foreign cultivators in Yuan Yang Town. Some were curious, and some wanted to bask in the glory of the geniuses. But they were disappointed when they came. The cultivation environment here was too bad. The spiritual energy was scarce, and the resources were poor. To cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage here, they probably had to pile up the resources of the whole family. To produce Gu Yao and his few fellows, it was simply luck that exploded to the extreme.

And when they learned about the situation of the Gu family, the foreign cultivators were even more disappointed. So they left one after another, which made the townspeople very sad, because they could do more business with the foreign cultivators.

Gu Yao stopped and asked, "Shall we go to the market first and look for Boss Dong? Or shall we split up? Brother Tian Er, do you want to go back to the Tian family and have a look?"
