Li Zhouhe couldn't understand the hidden meaning in it.

Especially when Yan Yanyan blushed slightly, showing a hesitant expression.

"You thief! You've gone too far!"

When a person is extremely angry, they will lose their rationality.

This time, even the honorifics were gone, and he directly called him a thief.

Li Zhouhe's face turned red with anger, his eyes filled with rage. With a "clang," he drew his sword from his waist and was about to rush forward to fight Gu Chi to the death.

If it weren't for this old ancestor who came out of nowhere, would Yan Yanyan have changed her mind?

He didn't know that forcing something would not be sweet, he only knew that he would never share the same sky with the person who took his wife.

"Smack!"

Without Gu Chi saying a word, Li Jiu slapped Li Zhouhe and his sword out of the hall. Then, he bowed to Gu Chi in fear and said, "Old ancestor, my grandson is not very smart and often speaks nonsense. He must be having another episode now. Please spare his life, and I am willing to take his punishment."

"It's fine, you may leave." Gu Chi waved his hand.

"Thank you for your mercy, old ancestor!" Li Jiu bowed and quickly followed out of the hall to find his disobedient grandson. The slap he gave was not light at all. If Gu Chi hadn't intervened, it wouldn't have been as simple as just getting injured.

Outside the hall, the Sect Master of Disorderly Sword Gate, Qi Bai, had a slightly dark expression.

Since the sect had to "contribute" to someone else, he naturally had to come and see. If it weren't for Elder Li Jiu, who had sharp eyesight and had described the opponent as powerful, Qi Bai might have acted before Li Zhouhe.

Li Zhouhe was a disciple of Disorderly Sword Gate. If Gu Chi bullied Li Zhouhe, it was equivalent to bullying Disorderly Sword Gate.

"If Sect Master Qi can't swallow this anger, then go and try it yourself." Yan Qianxi said. He had already advised Qi Bai, and if Qi Bai didn't listen and died at the hands of Gu Chi, it had nothing to do with him.

Qi Bai's expression changed uncertainly, but in the end, he suppressed the impulse to find out Gu Chi's true strength. He said in a calm voice, "Are you planning to keep him as your ancestor forever?"

"What kind of words are these, Sect Master Qi?" Yan Qianxi said indifferently, "An ancestor is an ancestor, there is no need to use the word 'keep'."

Qi Bai was choked by this answer and remained speechless for a while. After a long while, he snorted coldly and turned away, leaving with a flick of his sleeve.

Yan Qianxi had no expression on his face. "No need to see him off."

After Qi Bai left, a complex expression appeared on Yan Qianxi's face.

As Gu Chi had expected, Yan Qianxi had actually broken free from the shackles of memory the next day.

The spiritual power of a Transcendent Realm cultivator was incredibly strong. Without the assistance of Speech Spirit Technique, Gu Chi couldn't even hypnotize, let alone create dreams.

Yan Qianxi was just pretending to be ignorant.

He had thought about inviting the Demon-Hunting Bureau to deal with Gu Chi, as the four Sub-authorities were all Transcendent Realm powerhouses, and perhaps they could defeat this fake ancestor.

But there was one thing that made Yan Qianxi hesitate - his Life Lamp was in Gu Chi's hands.

Yan Qianxi didn't know if Gu Chi would be killed by the four Sub-authorities, but he would definitely die. And if he died, what use would it be for Fuyan Sect to take it back?

It was truly unpleasant to be choked by someone... In the past, he had always used the Life Lamp to control others, but he had never thought that he would have such a day. Perhaps this was karma.

Yan Qianxi sighed in his heart. At this point, he had no other choice but to pretend that Fuyan Sect really had such an ancestor.

As long as he wasn't embarrassed, it would be others who were embarrassed.

Moreover, Yan Qianxi had personally witnessed Gu Chi's strength. If the other party could protect Fuyan Sect at critical moments, even if he didn't call him ancestor, what difficulty would there be in calling him grandfather?

This was how cultivation was. Whoever had the stronger fist had the right. Without reaching the top, one could only struggle to survive. Sometimes, face was more important than anything else. And sometimes, it was no different from a piece of toilet paper used to wipe one's butt.

That's it...

Yan Qianxi stopped thinking. If he continued, he was afraid that his thoughts would become muddled.

Meanwhile, inside the hall.

Gu Chi began to study diligently again.

When he had nothing to do, he would take a closer look at some good cultivation techniques. These were all materials for his dreams.

Gu Chi was very quiet when reading... In fact, even without reading, he didn't speak much. Qing Chan had already gotten used to it.

On the other hand, Yan Yanyan's delicate face was filled with a conflicted expression. She had been thinking for a long time, but in the end, she couldn't hold back and looked at Gu Chi's handsome profile. With slightly flushed cheeks, she called out, "Ancestor..."

Gu Chi glanced at her. "Hmm?"

Yan Yanyan fidgeted with her clothes and said in a soft voice, "Now that Yanyan doesn't have to get married, can she stay by the ancestor's side and serve the ancestor?"

Gu Chi thought for a moment and said, "I have a peach here."

【Dao Yun -1】

As he spoke, he really produced a plump and tempting peach in his hand and handed it to the girl.

"Here, have a peach."

Yan Yanyan: "..."

Gu Chi continued reading.

These past few days, he had been studying Speech Spirit Technique. He had already grasped the rules of Dao Yun consumption.

Every time he used Speech Spirit Technique, it would consume at least 1 point of Dao Yun. That was the first rule.

The second rule was that the more the effect of Speech Spirit Technique went against common sense, the greater the consumption.

For example, when he immobilized Yan Qianxi with the lion-headed ghost shadow, it cost 3 points of Dao Yun. But when he used "turn" and "go," it only cost 1 point, because the most illogical step had already been completed during the "immobilize" phase, and the remaining steps were just a matter of course.

This also depended on the quality, level, and realm of the target.

If the lion-headed ghost shadow was a higher-level magic, "immobilize" would have cost more than 3 points.

In terms of power, 5 points of Dao Yun were enough to summon a qualified Three Realms magic, and 10 points might be able to instantly kill a Three Realms cultivator. However, the opponent could use magic treasures to resist or rely on their body movement technique to dodge, so it might not actually cause any damage. Therefore, to kill a Three Realms cultivator, a minimum of 15 points of Dao Yun was needed, and 20 points was the safest.

For Transcendent Realm cultivators, even more Dao Yun was needed. 35 points definitely wouldn't be enough, doubling it would probably be close.

Hmm, it was just an estimate.

This thing was quite difficult to calculate. The skill didn't display any numerical values, just like a girl's thoughts. Gu Chi could only rely on his feelings to grasp it.

As for the specifics, he would have to try it out to know.

Late at night.

Gu Chi returned to his guest room and took out the Spirit Stones sent by Disorderly Sword Gate, starting his "cultivation."

【Current number of Spirit Stones: 500, absorb all?】

Yes, only 500.The Disorderly Sword Gate definitely didn't bring out all the Spirit Stones, but they probably didn't hide much either. After all, he only found around 800 after draining the Fuyan Sect dry.

Gu Chi wasn't sure about the effect of Spirit Stones on the indigenous people, but for him, one Spirit Stone could only provide one experience point.

However, it was enough for him to advance to the First Realm.

【Cultivation Gained: 500】

【Realm Upgraded!】

Gu Chi felt a warm current slowly flowing within his body, as comfortable as taking a hot bath.

He then opened his personal panel.

As expected, the limit of Dao Yun became 40.

He could continue learning skills.

There were quite a few First Realm cultivation methods from the Fuyan Sect and the Disorderly Sword Gate, plus the ones from the Mountain Ghost Sect and those found on the people from the Demon-Hunting Bureau, Gu Chi suddenly increased the number of skills to 136.

And that wasn't all.

Before Gu Chi came to the Fuyan Sect, he had already negotiated a big deal with the shopkeeper of the Qiantong Commerce in Shanghuai City, using a pile of gold and silver jewelry to buy those "martial arts" that had been phased out.

Everyone was now cultivating, so the previous martial arts naturally didn't have much use, but they were still considered as "abilities" by the system.

Gu Chi wouldn't forget to pick up such a big loophole.

Gu Chi planned to stay in the Fuyan Sect for a while longer before going to Shanghuai City to collect the goods, giving Qiantong Commerce more time to gather more martial arts secrets.

Time passed like this for seven days.

On the eighth day, a piece of news caught his attention.

On the "Frontier State Chronicle" issued by the Junzi Pavilion, the title led by "Holy Maiden of Qihuang Mountain" was shining brightly.

There was a lot of content, but Gu Chi didn't read much. He just noticed two words—

Marriage Proposal.

"It is said that the Holy Maiden of Qihuang Mountain is graceful and unparalleled in beauty......"

Being so beautiful, she should be able to gain a lot of reputation, right?

......
