Above all spirits

Chapter 154 A Brief Peace (Part 1)

There is no barrier or isolation like that of the Seraphim Temple.

Gu Yun quickly found the mark he had left on Bai Qing'er before they parted.

He looked down for a moment at the secluded courtyard located on the outskirts of the imperial city, near the mountain.

Gu Yun smiled slightly.

This place is quite nice, far from the central vortex area.

It's truly remarkable that they were able to find such a luxurious mansion and book it when so many powerful figures gathered in the Crimson Flame.

Think about it too.

With Shang Wenqing around, there shouldn't be any worries about money.

With Su Xiaoqian around, there shouldn't be any worries about power.

With enough money and connections, you can find any kind of accommodation.

Folding its wings together.

It slowly landed in the open space of the courtyard.

His toes hadn't even touched the ground yet.

A whooshing sound suddenly came to my ears.

A dagger, accompanied by a violent black current, was thrown towards his back.

Such speed would be considered top-tier by most people in the lower realms.

Even for those with a Saintly Body.

And very few people can avoid this.

at the same time.

A dark figure moved swiftly through the field of vision like a phantom.

It attacked him with a fierce and relentless force.

Although attacked from both sides.

But Gu Yun's face only showed a puzzled expression, without a trace of panic.

With a powerful downward flap of its wings, it was instantly propelled into the air by a massive gust of air.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized the blind spot.

They quickly shed their assimilation.

He revealed himself in familiar black clothes and with black hair.

explained.

"it's me."

The dark figure that had been rushing straight up with Gu Yun stopped almost at the same moment the sound fell.

And it removed the slightly blood-red black aura that enveloped its body.

Just as Gu Yun had predicted.

It was none other than the Shadow Guard.

"Gu Moshi".

The shadow guard stared blankly at Gu Yun.

He then bowed slightly apologetically to Gu Yun, but the doubt and wariness in his eyes had not completely disappeared.

Gu Yun standing before me.

I feel much more unfamiliar with myself than I did yesterday.

But the aura that made people feel as if they were standing on the edge of an abyss remained unchanged.

"Where are Qing'er and Ji Ning?"

Gu Yun naturally didn't care about any of that, and went straight to the point, explaining nothing to the shadow guards.

"Please come with me."

After confirming Gu Yun's identity, although he had some concerns, he immediately led the way for Gu Yun.

that's it.

The two, who were very sparing with words, quietly arrived at the next hall, one after the other.

The shadow guard's taciturnity was trained.

Gu Yun's calm silence was simply a reflection of his temperament.

Oh.

Another point.

He probably had a bit of tinnitus from being bothered by Xiaotian, who was just as noisy as a gossip, and now he really wanted some peace and quiet.

After bringing Gu Yun to his destination, the shadow guard bowed and withdrew.

Step inside.

What comes into view is a peaceful and serene scene.

Shang Wenqing and Su Xiaoqian were cracking sunflower seeds and eating fruit while talking about something.

Bai Qing'er sat on Ji Ning's lap, listening intently to Ji Ning's explanation.

Notice the jade slip placed to one side; it must be explaining the mental cultivation method to him.

Xiao Li sat alone in a corner, resting his chin on one hand on the table, while his other hand moved constantly in the air, undoubtedly fiddling with his system.

next moment.

Everyone turned to look at the black figure outside the door, and all of them showed joy on their faces.

"Gu the Demon Envoy!"

"Brother Gu!"

"elder brother!"

"Big brother!"

"Big brother!"

Gu Yun chuckled.

A golden aura spread out, pressing everyone who wanted to rise to greet them back to their seats.

He then casually found an empty chair and sat down, pulling up his clothes.

"What's going on? Is it a leadership inspection?"

"Sit down, everyone."

"Ji Ning, Xiao Li, what did Qing'er do during her cultivation? How is she doing?"

Ji Ning smiled knowingly, with a hint of pride, and said.

"It's been a while since I've seen my older brother, so I feel a little unfamiliar with him, hehe."

"Qing'er cultivates the Pure Water Heart Sutra, which should have been extracted from my Ji family. It's a low-grade Saint-level cultivation technique, not bad."

"The cultivation methods that the big brothers of the Crimson Flame Empire imprinted on you are mostly quite intense, since they are all fire-related cultivation methods. Unless a girl has the bloodline of the Crimson Flame like the Third Princess, they are really not suitable for girls to cultivate."

"As for this Pure Water Heart Sutra, my aunt practiced it a few years ago. It mainly focuses on using softness to overcome hardness, and the Qi is as inexhaustible as spring water, with a strong recovery ability. Not only that, with this mental technique as a foundation, the consumption will be reduced when learning and using various techniques or soul arts in the future."

"Unfortunately, my aunt is a bit old and her talent is only average, so she stopped at the peak of the Overlord Body."

"But don't worry, brother. This doesn't mean the technique is bad. I've suffered quite a few losses at the hands of my aunt before, so I have some experience with it."

Gu Yun didn't care.

"That's secondary. Different mental techniques will naturally have different effects. Don't take these minor auxiliary measures too seriously. Don't put the cart before the horse. The main purpose of mental techniques is to enhance the soul."

"Choosing the right mental method for yourself will make your spiritual cultivation twice as effective."

Ji Ning answered quickly.

"That's for sure, brother!"

"Let me tell you, Qing'er has a real talent for cultivating the Pure Water Heart Sutra. In just half a day while you were gone, she has already become a first-level mortal cultivator!"

"You may have just entered the realm and the Qi sensation is too weak for you to feel yet."

"But it is a fact that we have truly succeeded in communicating with each other's souls!"

"Eight years old! His future achievements are limitless!"

Although Gu Yun had expected this, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

This already far surpasses those of his peers.

He nodded in agreement.

"Good, then focus on your cultivation. Qing'er, if there's anything you don't understand, just talk to Ji Ning or ask Xiao Li. You'll definitely encounter all sorts of problems at the beginning."

Qing'er's eyes sparkled with a little starlight as she received Gu Yun's praise. She nodded heavily and said...

"Okay, Qing'er will try her best."

"Ji Ning, you yourself..."

Ji Ning seemed to have known what Gu Yun was about to say, and quickly patted her chest to assure him.

"Don't worry, brother. I will definitely not slack off in my cultivation. I have realized that my cultivation level may be good enough to show off among my peers, but it is really not enough to stand out when I go out into the world."

"Me! Me! Me! I'll try my best too!"

“Master Gu, I’ve thought it through and made my decision. Let the Shang family follow you. We’ll share the same fate, whether it’s prosperity or ruin.”

"I trust my intuition; businesses in the future will surely thrive because of this."

Hearing Su Xiaoqian and Shang Wenqing interrupt.

Especially regarding Shang Wenqing's words.

Gu Yun raised an eyebrow; this was somewhat unexpected.

After all, Shang Wenqing is not like Xiao Li, who is all alone.

He carries the weight of the entire business on his shoulders.

To know.

Even Ji Xiao, his relationship with him was merely a cooperative one, a win-win situation.

Although the specific reason is hard to guess, it's probably not just a simple intuition.

But Gu Yun didn't think Shang Wenqing would dare to deceive her.

Pick up the freshly brewed tea.

He gestured to Shang Wenqing.

It indirectly expresses one's meaning.

Shang Wenqing immediately understood and his face lit up with joy. He quickly filled his teacup.

He picked it up with both hands and drank it all in one gulp.

A long-lost sense of peace and joy permeated the air among the crowd.

but.

Except for Xiao Li.

It's often said that the more you know, the more troubles you have.

That's absolutely true.

Amidst his forced laughter, his eyes darted back and forth between Gu Yun and the screen.

perhaps.

Until he hears Gu Yun's explanation, he's unlikely to feel relieved.

He was eager to ask a question immediately.

But they couldn't bear to break this brief peace.

He never dared to speak.

what.

So annoying.
