nBai Yao had wanted to use the Gu hand to push him.

nBut when their lips touched, that electric shock assaulted her, and she could not help but fall back down.

nAnyway, they had kissed for so long...

nThere was nothing wrong with another kiss...

nHalf a day later, Fang Yuan left the Scarlet Flame Mystic Realm alone.

nThere was no need to explore the depths.

nHe did not have the strength or energy to do so.

nThere were not many talismans on him anymore.

nOther than the Heaven Suppression talisman and the divine escape talisman, most of the other talismans had already been used up in the ruins.

nIt was time to return to the sect.

nOn the way back, Bai Yao's face often appeared in Fang Yuan's mind.

nHe had thought it through during this period of time.

nAlthough Bai Yao appeared to be frivolous, in reality, she was someone who had never experienced anything between a man and a woman.

nHe just had to treat her like a girl.

nIt was just that she had gained a new cultivation base and was a little arrogant.

nAfter all, her status in the Gu Demon Sect was not low, and it was understandable for her to be pampered all year round.

nEven though her methods were terrifying, she was not a bad person. She was not a bloodthirsty person.

nHmm?

nWait...

nWhy was he talking about Bai Yao's good points?

nHe could not help but sigh in his heart. Beauty was indeed a hindrance to one's cultivation.

nFang Yuan focused on calming his mind, getting rid of distracting thoughts.

nCultivation!

nCultivation was what he loved the most!

nWomen would only affect the speed at which he cultivated Gu!

nBut after this dual cultivation, he had accumulated a large amount of Yin-Yang Qi in his body.

nDuring the time he spent searching for a way out of the ruins, he had used most of it to nurture his Gu worms, and the results were obvious.

nAlthough they had not broken through to rank four yet, their overall cultivation progress had already increased by a lot.

nHe had also secretly taken back the Soul Capture Gu from Bai Yao's side, and its cultivation efficiency was close to zero, so he could only wait and find another opportunity to refine a Gu slave.

nOther than that, the Sunlight Gu made him feel extremely comfortable.

nIt actually used the Yang Qi in Fang Yuan's body as its main cultivation resource, so there was no need to worry about it.

nMore importantly, it could help Fang Yuan produce more Yang Qi, and then its own cultivation efficiency would increase further.

nThis was repeated endlessly, and it was simply an existence that violated the law of conservation of energy.

nUnfortunately, the Sunlight Gu was still very weak. It was still in its larval stage, only at rank one strength.

nIt did not even have any skills.

nNourishing Yang Qi was only its attribute's effect.

nFang Yuan could not help but look forward to it. He had already gathered two of the three talented Gu.

nHe still needed the last Starlight Gu to merge them into one and upgrade them to a higher quality.

nWho knows, it might become his second Gold quality Gu worm.

nOr perhaps Platinum?

nAnything was possible.

nAs he traveled quickly, Fang Yuan finally arrived at Fanshu City before dark.

nHe planned to rest here for the night and return to the sect by horse carriage tomorrow.

nSince he had arrived here, he did not need to rest anywhere else and went straight to the Xu Manor.

nAs a guardian, there was naturally a place for him to stay in the manor.

nHowever, when he arrived at the Xu Manor, he discovered that it was heavily guarded, both within the gates and outside, surrounding it tightly. It could be said that the posts were all three steps away from each other.

nBefore he reached the entrance, he was stopped by them half a street away.

n

"Stop! Outsiders are not allowed to enter the Xu Manor's territory!

"

nFang Yuan said in a deep voice,

"I am Fang Yuan, the Xu family's guardian. What happened here?

"

n

"Guardian? Do you have any proof?

" The soldier did not answer but asked a question instead.

nFang Yuan used his mind to search through his storage space. Only then did he realize that when he became the Xu family's guardian, it was a spur-of-the-moment idea. He did not have anything to prove his identity.

nSeeing that he had searched for a long time without taking out anything, the other party immediately waved his hand impatiently.

n

"If you don't have anything, then hurry up and leave! This is not a place for you to stay!

"

nFang Yuan was silent. He turned around and left.

nThere was no need for him to get into a conflict with the Xu family.

nHe would first go to the city to gather information and think of a way to contact Vice City Lord Xu or Xu Zhiyu.

nAfter all, he had taken so many of their resources. When it was time to help, he still had to help.

nThe fastest way to get information was to go to the local tavern.

nThere were all kinds of people there.

nWith just one gold coin, those local ruffians and hooligans who roamed around the city every day would follow your lead and tell you everything they knew.

n

"Hey, sir, please come in, what would you like to drink?

"

nFang Yuan was dressed in a black robe, he threw a small spirit stone in the waiter's hand and found a window seat in the corner.

n

"So you are a Lord Gu master. Our shop has a good ten year wine, I will take it out for you to taste.

"

nThe waiter was shocked, and even his voice became respectful.

"If there is anything else you need, just mention it, I will serve you alone today.

"

nFang Yuan was like a spring breeze, wasn't this waiter too good at kissing his shoes?

nBut thinking about it carefully, he felt relieved.

nAlthough this world was full of people refining Gu, not everyone had the aptitude to refine Gu. It was just that the threshold was relatively low, so anyone could try it.

nThose who had no hope of breaking through to the Qi Refinement Realm all year round could only return to the secular world and do some ordinary business to maintain their livelihood.

nAlthough they had a bit of cultivation and knew a little about using Gu, compared to a real Gu master, they were not just a bit inferior.

nWhether it was the secular world or the sects and empires, there was a saying.

nIf one did not enter Enlightenment Realm, one would not become a Gu master.

nIt meant that if one did not reach the Enlightenment Realm, one would not become a real Gu master.

nThis was the consensus.

nThe waiter was also someone who had cultivated before, and had interacted with people all year round. Seeing that Fang Yuan's temperament was extraordinary, he naturally would not look down on him.

n

"There is no need for anything else, I am here to gather some information.

" Fang Yuan said lightly.

n

"Lord Gu master, please ask away, I will tell you everything I know.

"

n

"What happened to Xu Manor recently? Why are there so many people guarding it?

"

n

"Are you asking about Vice City Lord Xu's clan?

"

n

"That's right.

"

n

"Then... you are here to... seek revenge?

" The waiter asked carefully.

nFang Yuan raised his brows,

"What do you mean?

"

nThe waiter immediately had a plan in mind. Knowing that Fang Yuan was only asking for information, he began to explain.

n

"This matter has to start from the last time when the guardians rebelled in front of Xu Manor and tried to devour the master.

"

n

"In that battle, Xu Manor's nineteen guardians were all killed by a young man. The news spread, and even the capital was shaken.

"

n

"But the life and death of a Gu master is not punishable by murder, so no one was sent to investigate this matter.

"

n

"But those guardians' families din't think so.

"

n

"All of a sudden, their close friends and relatives died without any explanation, so no one would be happy about it.

"

n

"Thus, they signed a petition, asking for an explanation from Vice City Lord Xu.

"

n

"Vice City Lord Xu did not even meet them, so they went to the dark and hired assassins to force him to reveal the killer's identity in public.

"

nSpeaking up to this point, Fang Yuan almost understood what was going on.

nTo put it bluntly, it was just that those family members whose Gu master had died wanted to seek revenge on him, but Vice City Lord Xu blocked the attack.

n

"He is truly courting death.

"

nFang Yuan snorted coldly.

nHe was not afraid of these secular Gu masters.

nEven if Vice City Lord Xu told them his identity, what could these people do?

nCould they kill their way into the Gu Immortal Sect?

nAlthough it did not affect him, Fang Yuan still remembered the kindness of Vice City Lord Xu.

n

"I'll help him get rid of the trouble before leaving, half a day is enough.

"

nFang Yuan's mind sank, and he had an idea.

n
