Could it be that Old Man Huo De really had a way to help Gu Qingfeng cultivate again?
That's impossible!
The reason why a mutated body was called a useless Foundation Establishment Body was because the failure of the Foundation Establishment would cause both the Spirit Root and Dantian to collapse. It was impossible to cultivate again. Even if one forcefully took pills and converted them into Spirit Qi, that was all there was to it. Without a Dantian, the Spirit Qi was like having no home. It would run amok in the meridians.
Heavens!
How could I be so stupid to believe Old Man Huo De?
Looking at the disappearing figures of Elder Huo De and Gu Qingfeng, Ouyang Ye became more and more regretful. Suddenly, she realized another suspicious problem.
She clearly remembered that Gu Qingfeng said that he knew Elder Huo De and that they had a good relationship. He even said that they knew each other from gambling. But … but just now … Old Man Huo De didn't know him at all!
Damn it!
This damn liar actually lied to me again!
"Gu Qingfeng, you damn liar! Hmph! I was worried about you just now. I didn't expect you to lie to me again … "
"I was going to ask Old Man to let you go. Now! Hmph! Just you wait! Just you wait to test the formation for Old Man. When the time comes, you won't even be able to cry. Let's see if you dare to lie to me again! "
"Damn liar!"
… …
Yunxia School was very big. It was known as the Three Mountains, Six Halls, Nine Peaks, and Twelve Courtyards. Elder Huo De led Gu Qingfeng to one of the peaks and entered a cave residence.
The cave residence was very spacious, like a large hall. There were many stone rooms around the large hall. Usually, a cave residence like this was called a refining cave. It wasn't used for secluded cultivation. Instead, it was used to refine pills, refine formations, and refine magic treasures.
Gu Qingfeng looked around. Sure enough, this small cave was filled with array formations. Moreover, many of the array formations were incomplete and very unstable. It was obvious that this was the place where the old man Huo De used to refine array formations.
Reverend Huo De casually performed an incantation gesture, then a lotus-like formation appeared in the middle of the hall. Looking at Gu Qingfeng, who was looking around, the old man grinned and said, "Kid, stop looking around. Hurry up and stand in there. I'll use the formation to check your condition."
"Didn't you already investigate outside?"
"The situation in your body is rather complicated. I can only get a rough idea of what's going on with my consciousness. If I use the Nine Luminaries Cloud Essence Formation, it'll be different. I'll be able to see the situation in your body clearly."
There was a lot of delicious food in the cave, including wine and meat. Gu Qingfeng walked over and poured himself a cup of wine. He sat on a chair and took a sip. Looking at the formation on the ground, he smiled and said, "Tell me again, what kind of formation is this?"
"Nine Luminaries Cloud Essence Formation!" Huo De said very seriously, "What? You don't trust me?"
"Hahahaha!"
Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh. His laughter made Reverend Huo De frown. The old man also felt a bit guilty and asked, "Kid, what are you laughing at?"
"Huo De, oh Huo De … I haven't seen you for many years. Your ability to fool people has been cultivated to the point of perfection! You've reached the realm of lying with your eyes wide open? Pointing at the Nine Luminaries Cloud Essence Formation, you dare to point at the Nine Luminaries Cloud Essence Formation? "
Hearing this, Reverend Huo De couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't think that this kid in front of him would know about formations. Moreover, he could see that this was a Nine Diagrams Formation.
Wait!
What did he say?
Not seen for many years?
Hmm?
Reverend Huo De's eyes gradually narrowed. His expression also became very serious. His eyes were full of doubt as he asked, "Kid, who are you?"
"Take a guess …"
Gu Qingfeng wasn't in a hurry. He sat on a chair with his legs crossed and slowly drank his wine.
Guess?
Reverend Huo De looked at him again. At the same time, he seriously tried to recall. After thinking for a long time, he was very sure that he didn't know this kid in front of him.
Seeing the old man's doubtful expression, Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but want to tease him, so he said, "If I remember correctly, you've been cultivating for around seven hundred years, right? You're an orphan, right? You've been wandering in the Qingyang Region since you were young. Later, you met your master and entered the Yunxia School. Your aptitude and Spiritual Root are good. Plus, you're smart. Very quickly, you made a name for yourself in the Yunxia School. However … you've been wild since you were young. You like to steal chickens, touch dogs, dig holes, and trip things … Especially when it comes to digging caves, you have a special liking … "
Gu Qingfeng drank his wine and spoke slowly. The more Reverend Huo De listened, the more shocked he became. The more he listened, the more his eyes widened. He couldn't believe that this kid in front of him knew so much about him. Not only did he know that he was an orphan, but he also knew how he entered the Yunxia School!
Gu Qingfeng talked about a lot of Reverend Huo De's private matters, including the scandals between the old man and some women.
Reverend Huo De was stunned. He looked at Gu Qingfeng in horror, as if he couldn't even speak clearly. "You … How did you know … You!"
Shocking!
Reverend Huo De was a little confused now. He had never told anyone about his private matters. No! To be exact, he had only told one person, and that person was King Chixiao, Gu Tianlang. He still clearly remembered that he and Gu Tianlang had gone to dig a very mysterious ancient cave. In the end, they had been trapped inside for a long time. In order to pass the time, they had talked about a lot of things.
But … How did Gu Tianlang know about the things he had told him?
Wait a minute.
Reverend Huo De remembered that on the lawn outside, this kid had said that his surname was Gu. He seemed to be called something like Gu Qingfeng. Could it be …
"You're the descendant of Gu Tianlang, that kid?"
"What? Descendant? "Gu Qingfeng shook his head and laughed. He scolded jokingly," Since when did I have a descendant? "
Reverend Huo De thought about it carefully. Indeed, he had never heard of Gu Tianlang, that kid, having any descendants.
Hmm?
What did this kid call himself?
Father?
He had asked him if he was the descendant of Gu Tianlang, and he had said something like 'Since when did I have a descendant?'
Reverend Huo De seemed to have thought of something, but it was so shocking that he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. He stared at Gu Qingfeng, took a deep breath, and asked.
"You … You can't be … You can't be saying that you're that kid, Gu Tianlang, right?"
"What?" Gu Qingfeng raised his wine cup to his lips and looked at him with a smile. He said, "You don't believe me?"
Reverend Huo De shook his head subconsciously. He really didn't believe it. He asked in a deep voice, "Why do you want me to believe that you're Gu Tianlang?"
"Why? Haha, Huo De, when we first met, we were playing dice, right? When you lost, not only did you not admit it, but you also lied to me, saying that you'd help me improve my cultivation. In the end, you made me test the formation for you … "
Gu Qingfeng told him everything that had happened in Yunxia School, but Reverend Huo De didn't believe him.
"The rumors about that kid, Gu Tianlang, have been circulating for three hundred years. You can grab any kid on the street and find out."
"Fine, then do you remember that time when we went to steal a magic treasure from Carefree Palace, we were chased everywhere. You were f * cking chased for hundreds of miles, and that time …"
Gu Tianlang told him about the shady business the two of them had done together. This time, Reverend Huo De was completely confused.
In his opinion, Gu Tianlang's deeds had been circulating all over the world, so it wasn't strange for this kid to know about them. However, it was impossible for other people to know about the shady business he and that kid, Gu Tianlang, had done.
Could it be that this kid was really Gu Tianlang?
That was impossible!
But if this kid wasn't him, then how could he know so many things?
The more Reverend Huo De thought about it, the more confused he became. However, he still couldn't believe that this kid in front of him was Gu Tianlang.
This was because three hundred years ago, he had personally witnessed Gu Tianlang being judged by the Immortal Dao. At that time, the Immortal Dao had sent down a total of eighty-one Immortal Dao judgments, and then … then Gu Tianlang had disappeared …
Some people said that Gu Tianlang's soul had been completely destroyed by the Immortal Dao's judgment.
Others said that Gu Tianlang had always been mysterious and unfathomable, so it was impossible for his soul to be completely destroyed. He had only disappeared temporarily …
As for whether Gu Tianlang was dead or had disappeared temporarily … no one knew.
Reverend Huo De didn't know either. Although he had been present at that time, the situation had been too chaotic. He hadn't been able to see anything, and he hadn't dared to use his divine sense to investigate. However, he believed that Gu Tianlang shouldn't be dead.
Yes.
Probably.
He wasn't sure.
Reverend Huo De still clearly remembered that after Gu Tianlang had disappeared from the Immortal Dao's judgment, he had heard Gu Tianlang's farewell. There were only a few words: "Old friend, I'm leaving."
Reverend Huo De had thought about these six words for three hundred years. Even now, he still couldn't understand what Gu Tianlang's last farewell meant. Was he dead? Or was he really gone?
Thinking of this, Reverend Huo De asked again: "If you really are that kid Gu Tianlang, then you should remember that three hundred years ago, after you had been judged by the Immortal Dao, you said something to me. If you answer, then this old man will believe you!"
"Let me think …" Gu Tianlang closed his eyes and reached out to pat his forehead. He murmured: "When I was judged by the Immortal Dao, due to the urgency of the situation and the fact that I was very weak, I didn't say much. I only told you that I was leaving, right?"
As his voice fell, Elder Huo De sat on the ground with a thump. His entire body seemed to have been struck by lightning. His face was full of shock, and he looked even more terrified than if he had seen a god. His eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't. He opened his mouth several times, but the voice that came out was either hoarse or sharp. He took a few deep breaths, but he still couldn't suppress the shock in his heart. Even the arm that was pointing at Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but tremble violently.
"I say, Huo De, don't be so exaggerated. I'm not an Evil Asura, how could I eat you …"
