Chapter 346 People from the Ancient Clan
A few days later, the ancient people finally arrived.
Sensing spatial fluctuations, Li Muyang put down his fighting techniques and said to the three people and three monsters who were still training, "We have guests. Please stop."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er were the first to realize what was happening, while Nalan Yanran was the first to understand: "Mr. Li, have people from the Gu Clan come?"
Li Muyang nodded, and a spatial rift opened in the sky. Two figures rushed out from it. One was Ling Ying, Gu Xun'er's guard, and the other was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man in a simple, plain robe. His peaceful gaze seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.
Upon seeing the middle-aged man, Gu Xun'er and Nalan Yanran were both taken aback. Yao Chen initially felt that the man looked familiar, but quickly remembered who he was. He was stunned and speechless for a moment, never expecting that he would come in person.
Xiao Zhan, who was on the other side of the Xiao family, also saw the figure appearing in the sky and hurriedly ran towards the courtyard where Li Muyang and the others were cultivating.
He naturally recognized the middle-aged man as well. It was he who had entrusted his daughter, Gu Xun'er, to the Xiao family to raise, keeping her away from the intrigues and power struggles of the Gu clan.
It was Gu Yuan, the patriarch of the ancient clan, one of the few peak Dou Sheng and half-step Dou Di in the Dou Qi Continent.
Like the Soul Emperor, he was only one wisp of Origin Qi away from breaking through to the Dou Di realm!
Li Muyang naturally guessed Gu Yuan's identity the moment he saw him, because it wasn't hard to guess. Gu Yuan didn't hide his peak Dou Sheng aura at all, but openly displayed it.
In this Dou Qi Continent where the source of energy has been severed, the peak Dou Sheng is the strongest, and Gu Yuan has the confidence to do so.
Similarly, Li Muyang is the same.
As soon as Gu Yuan stepped out of the spatial rift, his gaze fell on Li Muyang.
(It really is the aura of a peak Dou Sheng... But why does it feel like he's stronger than me?) Gu Yuan was also a little surprised for a moment. The aura of the realm was indeed that of a peak Dou Sheng, but for some reason, he always felt that Li Muyang was more than just a peak Dou Sheng! Or rather, he felt that Li Muyang could step into Dou Di at any time.
The bottleneck of becoming a Dou Di that they cannot break through, the barrier that cannot be broken without source energy, seems completely unnecessary to Li Muyang.
The moment of contemplation was short, and Gu Yuan had already brought Ling Ying to the courtyard. Gu Xun'er immediately threw herself into her father's arms, acting cute and charming, "Dad~ why did you come in person?"
Gu Yuan chuckled and gently pinched Gu Xun'er's nose, teasing her in a doting tone, "Didn't I miss my precious Xun'er? If I didn't come to see her soon, she might have been kidnapped by some wild boy!"
Xiao Yan, standing awkwardly to the side, was just picking his toes; he was the wild boy Gu Yuan had mentioned.
These kinds of words might have worked to coax a child before, but now that Gu Xun'er has the memories of her rebirth, they definitely won't work anymore. She rolled her eyes and complained, "Dad, all you know how to do is say nice things. You only came all this way for Mr. Li, didn't you?"
Gu Yuan didn't deny it, and continued with a gentle smile, readily admitting, "Yes, it's because you told me, little girl, that you encountered a peak Dou Sheng from outside the Dou Qi Continent, so of course your father had to come and see."
After saying that, he released Gu Xun'er from his arms and bowed to Li Muyang: "Gu Yuan, the patriarch of the Gu clan, greets you, sir."
"Li Muyang greets Clan Chief Gu Yuan." Li Muyang also bowed respectfully, as he couldn't be lacking in this respect.
Seeing Li Muyang, who was so young yet already possessed an extraordinary temperament and handsome appearance, and who was gentle and calm in his dealings with people and things, without being arrogant or impatient, and who had pride but no arrogance.
Gu Yuan couldn't help but admire him; this young man definitely came from an excellent family! He couldn't possibly be some kind of eccentric!
At this moment, Xiao Zhan also ran over, and upon seeing Gu Yuan, he politely bowed and greeted him:
"Mr. Gu? I never expected it would be you in person! Xiao Zhan is so sorry for not welcoming me properly!"
Facing Xiao Zhan, whose strength was pitifully weak, Gu Yuan did not put on the airs of a peak Dou Sheng. Instead, he greeted him with a calm attitude: "Brother Xiao, it's been a long time. There's no need for such formalities. I've just come to see my daughter and deliver the items for the transaction to Mr. Li. Over the years, Xun'er has caused you a lot of trouble. I should apologize to you."
Xiao Zhan quickly waved his hand, smiled, and said, "How could that be? Mr. Gu, how could such a sensible girl as Xun'er cause trouble for the Xiao family?"
After exchanging pleasantries, Li Muyang wasn't in a hurry. He leisurely brewed some tea and said, "Clan Chief Gu Yuan, Uncle Xiao, let's sit down and chat."
The group then took their seats.
There were four seats at the stone table. Gu Yuan naturally took a seat, with Gu Xun'er and Ling Ying standing beside him, and Li Muyang opposite him. Nalan Yanran was pulled behind Li Muyang, and Xiao Zhan naturally sat down as well. After all, this was the Xiao family, and no matter how strong they were, he was the master. Xiao Yan stood behind him, and Yao Lao, although in his soul form, also sat opposite Xiao Zhan.
"This is... young friend Yao Chen? How did he become like this?" Gu Yuan looked at Yao Chen's soul form and pondered for a moment. He remembered that he had seen Yao Chen in the Yao Clan, but he never expected that Yao Chen would become like this.
When Gu Yuan asked Yao Chen about it, he could only smile bitterly: "Alas~ Clan Chief Gu Yuan... it's all just fate playing tricks on us~"
Gu Yuan chuckled lightly: "What's past is past. Young friend Yao Chen has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel."
Having taken on a disciple at the peak of the Dou Sheng realm, Yao Chen's situation has actually turned from bitter to sweet!
Yao Chen looked at Li Muyang with deep affection, and was about to say that was indeed the case, when Li Muyang turned away with obvious disgust, pouted and said, "Teacher! Please have some self-respect! I'm not interested in men, don't look at me like that, it scares me! I have to be worthy of the girls in my family!"
Yao Chen was so angry that he glared and puffed out his beard: "You unfilial disciple! I have more female confidantes than you!"
Li Muyang rolled his eyes: "Are you sure?"
Thinking of Li Muyang's group of demons, Yao Chen choked for a moment. It seemed that he really didn't have as many as Li Muyang...
"Hahaha!" Gu Yuan didn't mind the interaction between master and disciple at all. In fact, he liked Li Muyang's behavior even more! If it were a completely mature and steady young man, Gu Yuan would find it boring.
Follow the rules when you should follow them, and have fun when you should have fun.
"Ahem, Clan Chief Gu Yuan, let's get back to business." Seeing Yao Chen's embarrassment, Li Muyang coughed lightly and refrained from making any rash moves, giving his teacher some face in front of outsiders: "Did you bring everything?"
Gu Yuan waved his hand and handed over a storage ring: "Of course it's ready, please inspect it, sir."
As Li Muyang took the ring, he handed over a medicine bottle: "There are five pills inside. Each one can create a divine bloodline. Clan Chief Gu Yuan, please take a look."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan almost trembled. He suppressed his excitement and took the medicine bottle with trembling hands to examine it. He almost couldn't help but exclaim in surprise!
Because they were all Grade Nine Profound Pills! The pills had even taken human form! You must know that the Pill Tower Ancestor's true form was a Grade Nine Profound Pill!
However, when Gu Xun'er saw the pills Li Muyang handed her, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, because... these things seemed... not as strong as the pills Li Muyang had given them during this period.
Well, Gu Xun'er, Nalan Yanran, and even Yao Chen didn't understand how Li Muyang managed to concentrate and control the effects of the ninth-grade golden pill, allowing it to be slowly refined and absorbed over time and with the user's cultivation, instead of overwhelming a person at once.
At this moment, Gu Xun'er, Nalan Yanran, and even Xiao Yan suddenly realized that among the pills Li Muyang had given them over the past few days, there seemed to be a ninth-grade golden pill!
The problem is, doesn't refining a ninth-grade pill require undergoing a tribulation? And it's not just any ordinary lightning tribulation, so how come they didn't sense anything at all?
Li Muyang: What the hell? A lightning tribulation? Don't you know how to cherish things?! Do you think I'd let such a precious resource be wasted on pills?
He swallowed them all.
Well, every time Li Muyang refines pills, the commotion is too great, so he naturally changes the location to refine them. In most cases, he goes to the starry sky of the Dou Qi Continent to refine them. If a lightning tribulation appears, he basically swallows it.
As a result, the Heavenly Dao of the Dou Qi Continent dared not send any more lightning tribulations to Li Muyang! Whatever came was swallowed up! In the end, they would only strike once symbolically and then be gone.
In other words, most of the materials used by Li Muyang were not from the Dou Qi Continent itself, and the origin of the Creation Divine Power was also Li Muyang's own, so the Heavenly Dao didn't bother to care!
Don't even think about taking away a tiny bit of the essence from me!
But there's another secret that Gu Xun'er and Nalan Yanran don't know! There's a saying that all medicines have some toxicity. Generally speaking, the cultivation system in the Dou Qi Continent doesn't rely too much on pills. They're usually only used for breakthroughs or for special purposes.
There are no people who cultivate themselves entirely through drugs!
But in the instant Gu Yuan hugged her, he also checked Gu Xun'er's body. Apart from noticing a pill that had not been fully consumed and was slowly enhancing Gu Xun'er's strength, he did not notice any adverse effects on Gu Xun'er's future cultivation.
In other words, the pills refined by Li Muyang have eliminated the toxicity and side effects of pills!
The Shennong Beast's purification and healing abilities are truly divine! This level of side effects is no problem at all!
As for Gu Xun'er and Nalan Yanran, thanks to Li Muyang's pills, their future achievements will definitely be higher than before! After all, Xiao Yan has already gained a cheat code, if the two of them are too bad, they will fall behind!
"Mr. Li, may I ask what the name of this pill is?" Gu Yuan could feel the thirst for this pill in his bloodline, and he really couldn't believe it. He had a divine bloodline, how could it still have an effect?
Li Muyang calmly shrugged: "It was a sudden inspiration, and I haven't named it yet. Why don't you help me think of one, Clan Chief Gu Yuan?"
Gu Yuan did not refuse. After pondering for a moment, he suggested, "Since this pill can create a divine bloodline, let's call it the Emperor Blood Divine Grade Pill."
"Alright! That's the name! Simple yet grand!" Li Muyang praised without changing his expression, "The Gu Yuan Clan Chief is truly talented!"
"Hahaha... Sir, you flatter me..."
