By the time night fell, Gu Zheng had already finished refining all five sets of medicinal ingredients. Several scarlet pills were placed in a bottle. While he was at it, he woke up the two siblings.
He was going to give them pills to remove some of the acquired impurities in their bodies as much as possible.
On the other side, Shuang 'er also heard the commotion and woke up from her meditation. Even though Gu Zheng asked her to go back and rest, she still wanted to guard at the side.
Gu Zheng had no choice but to let her watch over them. He asked Ah Shou and Lan Lan to sit down in order and then let each of them swallow a pill.
In theory, a pill was enough to let them be reborn. One must know that Gu Zheng had added some immortal herbs to it, which greatly stimulated the medicinal effect.
Very quickly, the two of them started to turn red, and their bodies started to heat up.
"Steady your mind. No matter how painful it is, don't give up." Gu Zheng said deliberately. Although the process would cause a lot of pain, it was far less frightening than what Gu Zheng said.
On the other hand, white light surged in Shuang 'er's hands. She was fully prepared.
Two days passed by very quickly. After two days of continuous cleansing, the two of them had completely changed.
Before, they could still vaguely see the mortal aura of the other party. Now, there was an ethereal aura on their bodies. If they dressed like this and said that they were the children of a rich family, no one would not believe it.
At this time, all of them were ready to leave this place because they would leave in a while. Now, they first went to the place where the caravan was.
Ah Shou and Lan Lan looked at the dilapidated house reluctantly. They had already informed the kind-hearted uncle that they were taken away by Gu Zheng as attendants and left them a lot of money.
They had already finished packing. In fact, there was not much left. There were only some things that were worth keeping in their memories. The other things like clothes were all left here.
"Let's go."
Gu Zheng knew how they felt and did not rush them. After waiting for a while, he looked at the time and said.
The two of them turned their heads and followed behind Gu Zheng. They left the home that they had lived in for several years.
When Gu Zheng and the others arrived at the merchant's location, they were still packing their things.
Considering that they still had to meet up with the large caravan, they came a little earlier.
Seeing Gu Zheng's group, the merchant's eyes lit up. He hurriedly left his work of packing and hurriedly came forward to greet them.
"I was worried that you wouldn't come." He spoke his mind, because he really did not know where Gu Zheng lived. However, since Gu Zheng was so rich, it was impossible for him to lie to him, so he was not too worried.
"How could that be? This is your reward. Take a look and see if it's enough." Gu Zheng tossed him a small bag.
"Enough, definitely enough. There's even more." When the merchant opened it, a smile bloomed on his face. The meager amount of flesh on his face was squeezed together.
"You don't have to give it to me. Just give me some stuff when you get back. You can count the rest as travel expenses," Gu Zheng said when he saw that the other party wanted to return the money.
"Okay, okay, no problem. It's definitely the best thing in the world." That hand retracted again at an extremely fast speed. The other party agreed readily, as if he had been waiting for this moment.
"Madam, Miss, and Young Master, please get on the carriage. It's all ready, "the merchant said with a smile, but he was calculating in his heart. This time, he really made a huge profit. He knew that the other party was not short of money. Fortunately, he had rejected the guests brought back by another group of merchants. Even if there was a slight gap between him and the other party this time, it was definitely worth it.
When Shuang Er heard the merchant's words, her face instantly turned wine-red. Even the back of her ears turned red for a long time. She stuttered as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she did not say anything.
Seeing that Gu Zheng still had his back to her and did not seem to be paying attention to them, she hurriedly led Xiao Lan and Ah Shou, who did not know what was going on, away from the side.
The two children did not think much of it because they had always thought that Shuang Er was Gu Zheng's wife. It was just that they were used to calling Shuang Er elder sister. In addition, she was still so young and beautiful, so they did not change the way they addressed her.
The merchant did not know that his words had caused such a big reaction. He was still praising Gu Zheng. "Young Master, you're really lucky to have such a beautiful wife and a pair of children. You're really blessed."
These words were carried by the wind to Shuang Er's son, causing her face to begin to heat up even more. She felt that her face could be on fire.
How could Gu Zheng not know Shuang Er's current situation? She would definitely be embarrassed. Although she had been misunderstood by others, he did not expose them. He did not know Shuang Er's current expression, but he had once told Shuang Er his goal. He did not have any desire to marry and have children. He only wanted to reach the highest peak.
Because at that time, she wanted Gu Zheng to marry Sister Xue 'er. At that time, Gu Zheng had said these words to her.
"By the way, when are we leaving? Is there anything I can help with?" Gu Zheng laughed and changed the topic.
The merchant revealed a look of understanding and said, "We're leaving now. Young Master, you can rest. Leave everything to us."
"Mm, okay. If there's anything, let me know." Gu Zheng turned and prepared to leave.
"Ah, Young Master, I thought of something that I need to tell you." The merchant came in front of Gu Zheng again and looked around. It was currently early in the morning, and it was very cold. There were only a few people who were preparing to leave, packing their goods.
"Young Master, I suggest that your wife does not come down if there's nothing important. After all, your wife is too beautiful. I'm afraid that it will cause unnecessary trouble," the merchant said in a low voice.
"Don't worry. If there's no need, I definitely won't come down." Gu Zheng understood the merchant's worries and reassured him.
"That's good. At this time, it's too chaotic. Young Master doesn't have any guards by your side. No matter how good your skills are, there will always be people who are stronger than you. Keep a low profile." The merchant said kindly again and turned to leave.
To him, it was fine. He had already done what he could do.
Looking at this kind-hearted merchant, Gu Zheng smiled and did not take his words to heart. However, in order to reduce trouble, he still had to impart some knowledge to them. It was better to listen to this kind-hearted merchant.
When Gu Zheng arrived at the carriage, there was already a clever-looking worker standing beside him. He was deepening his relationship with the two strong horses. When he saw Gu Zheng coming over, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Young Master, I'm your coachman. Madam and the others have already gone up. We'll be leaving soon."
Gu Zheng Dian nodded and strode in as well.
This carriage was twice as big as an ordinary one. Otherwise, there would not be two horses pulling the carriage. The interior was covered with an unknown animal skin that was made into a soft carpet. It was very comfortable to walk on.
In the middle, there was a small wooden table. Exquisite snacks and tea were already placed on it. A faint fragrance of Zen could be faintly smelled.
On the other hand, Shuang Er had already calmed down. There was no abnormality on her face. When she saw Gu Zheng coming over, she squeezed to the side again to make room for him in the middle.
Xiao Lan and Ah Shou sat on both sides. They opened the curtains on both sides and looked outside curiously. For them, this was the first time they had left their hometown. It made them very excited.
They did not have to wait for too long. As the carriage moved gently, the whole group began to move slowly. They first had to meet up with the large caravan before leaving the city together.
Gu Zheng did not worry about imparting knowledge to them at this time. He would wait until the journey was stable. He closed his eyes and took a nap. He was thinking about how to impart knowledge to them when the time came.
After traveling for the time it took to burn a stick of incense, the carriage stopped again.
"How imposing. Look, there are so many people over there." Ah Shou's surprised voice sounded in his ear.
Although Xiao Lan did not say anything, she also looked outside with great interest and listened to the chatter outside. For them, everything was new.
As time passed, the noise and shouting became louder. Many small caravans that were temporarily attached to the large caravan had already arrived.
"Shopkeeper Li, I was wondering why you didn't let me use this carriage. It seems like there really is someone here." A strange voice sounded from the side and entered Gu Zheng's carriage.
"Oh, Great Butler Zheng, what kind of wind has blown you here again? My family's things, I can give them to whoever I want. Who do you think you are to butt in? Let your master come up first. Who do you think you are?" Merchant Li, who had just returned from the large caravan, said disdainfully.
The other party was also a small caravan, but the scale was indeed larger than his. However, one of the other party's nephews had a cultivation level of Level Five, so he looked down on the other small caravans.
Indeed, most of the guards in their small caravan were only at Level Two or Level Two, and they were not enough to fight against one person. However, Merchant Li would not be nice to a steward who was staring at him.
"Hehe, it's true that I'm not worthy of your attention, but you've offended some people this time. You'd better pray for yourself." Manager Zheng's face was filled with a malicious expression as he chuckled.
"I am not scared. If you have any tricks, feel free to use them." He, who had traveled extensively, was not scared. If the other party was so capable, they would have done it long ago. Why would they work so hard to earn a lot of money like him?
The reward given to him by the Young Master this time was almost close to his profits. Even if he did not run after this trip, he could not give it to the other party.
Anyway, the situation was turbulent. He wanted to rest for a few years and see the situation first.
"Okay, actually, I don't have anything to say. It's just that Master, Mr. Du, ordered that if you give in at this time, then everything will be fine. If you don't give in, there will definitely be a noble who will find trouble with you. At that time, don't blame us for not informing you in advance and saying that we deliberately oppressed you." Steward Zheng cupped his hands and immediately turned back.
Seeing the other party's resolute look, Merchant Li was also stunned, but then he threw it to the back of his mind. Could it be that the other party also had a noble guest? But in any case, he would not give in.
Besides, looking at the noble young master's momentum, the status behind him was probably not low. Maybe he did not need to do anything and the other party would settle it himself.
Thinking of this, Merchant Li threw the problem to the back of his mind and began to continue to call everyone to hurry up and get on the carriage. The whole team was about to set off.
Gu Zheng, who was in the carriage, did not hear it, but he was still indifferent. The other party had not come to provoke him yet. If they came to provoke him, then it would be a good opportunity for them to practice.
Soon, the team set off again. The mighty team moved for a full half an hour before they were completely lined up. They walked out of the city gate one by one and headed in the direction of the Lan Kingdom. Almost all of these caravans were going to Feng City. Basically, except for a city on the way to replenish their supplies, they had to travel day and night.
From here to Feng City, it would take about a month. There were too many people in the caravan, and there were so many goods. Even if they sped up, the speed was limited.
The carriage was very sturdy. It was almost impossible to feel the shaking of the carriage in the carriage. Looking at the two who were still in high spirits, Gu Zheng coughed and immediately attracted their attention.
"Ahem, you don't have to look. There will be plenty of opportunities later. From now on, I will teach you some taboos in cultivation and some basic knowledge. Then I will help you cultivate."
Looking at Ah Shuai and Xiao Lan who were once again respectfully sitting down, Ah Shuai could not help but nod his head. In his heart, Ah Shuai was even fantasizing about his mighty body in the future.
"Shuang 'er, come and listen. You basically don't know anything now. This way, if anything happens, you will know what to do." Gu Zheng said to Shuang' er who was next to him.
"Okay." Shuang 'er blinked her big eyes and said. Actually, she also understood her own shortcomings. However, who told her to be so muddle-headed with her current cultivation? Moreover, Young Master Qi only told her some anecdotes in order to make her not understand anything.
"Well, first of all, you have to understand one thing …"
Gu Zheng gently flicked his finger, and a layer of invisible light shot into the carriage. There was nothing. Except for Gu Zheng, no one could hear the noise outside.
At the same time, their conversation could be heard outside. Even if one listened carefully, they could not hear clearly. After making sure that no one found anything unusual inside, he began to explain in detail.
For Gu Zheng and the others, except for when it was necessary to eat, they spent all their time in the carriage until night time.
Gu Zheng had already taken out pills for them and let them start to slowly gather Qi according to their respective cultivation methods.
Although Gu Zheng could not give them specific guidance on some barriers, their own cultivation methods had been explained by the Heroic Spirit on the stone tablet. At least before they reached the Celestial Immortal stage, they would not have too many doubts and difficulties.
As for some other small problems, Gu Zheng could also solve them.
In just five days, they had made rapid progress and all of them had entered the First Stage. In terms of hidden combat strength, ordinary Second Stage cultivators were no match for them.
With Gu Zheng's pills as well as his care, this kind of progress was more than just lightning speed. This was especially true for Xiao Lan. She could actually condense strands of cold energy in her palm. Although it was very sparse and almost useless, it clearly showed that her comprehension was excellent.
On this day, after dark, after everyone had set up camp and finished eating, Gu Zheng and the others got down from the carriage. A tent had already been set up. It was brightly lit and a burst of delicious food wafted from inside.
"Master, Madam, please." Li Shang said cheerfully. Every time, Li Shang personally tidied up everything for them and provided them with good food and drink. Even if they did not rest much, he was happy every day.
If they served the other party well, they might be rewarded with something. Every time he thought of this, Li Shang felt a burst of excitement because he had already received a huge reward when he specially prepared these things for them. Even with such a large daily expenditure, it was enough for them to eat for half a year.
Basically, every day at this time, Gu Zheng and the others came down. If Xiao Lan and Ah Shou did not have to eat something, it would not be so troublesome.
At this time, Shuang 'er's expression had returned to normal. She opened the curtain and called the two of them in.
"Well, after you finish eating tonight, go back and practice again. Try to reach the third rank before we reach Feng City." Gu Zheng said to the two of them.
It was not that Gu Zheng was deliberately pursuing speed, but it was because they could only survive in this chaotic world if they reached the third rank. He could not care less about spoiling things through excessive enthusiasm. At worst, he would let them stay in peace for more than ten years and lay a solid foundation.
"Yes, Master." After the two of them agreed, they began to eat again. Gu Zheng chose to drink some tea and think about other things.
Xiao Lan, who was eating, suddenly heard something. She stopped what she was doing and whispered to Gu Zheng.
"Master, someone is peeping at us from a distance."
"Is there someone? Why didn't I know? " When Ah Shou heard his sister's words, he also stopped what he was doing and held his breath. However, the surroundings were quiet. There was no other sound except for the vague sound of scolding floating in the distance.
Gu Zheng nodded and gave Xiao Lan a look of appreciation.
In fact, on the first day, Gu Zheng found that someone had been trying to peep at them from a distance. He wanted to know who was in the carriage. Unfortunately, Gu Zheng was on guard, so how could he know?
However, the other party was just a small fry. Gu Zheng was too lazy to care about him.
He did not expect that the other party had bribed the waiter today and was so close to them. Perhaps someone was very interested in them.
Because there was only one such luxurious carriage here, it was estimated that the whole camp would know about them by the third day.
"Xiao Lan, go and drive him away." Gu Zheng ordered. The other party was just an ordinary person. Although Xiao Lan was young, she still knew the importance. If Ah Shou went, the other party might be scared away before they could find him.
Xiao Lan stood up silently and walked out of the camp.
"I want to go too." The short cultivation in the past few days had made his strength soar. He felt that he could beat a dozen of himself now. Of course, he wanted to show off.
"When did you become so vigilant? You don't even know when someone is next to you. How can I teach you?" Gu Zheng glanced at him and snorted.
"It's not because I'm relieved when you're next to me." Ah Shou felt wronged. However, in his usual studies, his sister Xiao Lan was indeed a level higher than him. However, what could he do about his sister?
"You still need to polish yourself." When Gu Zheng saw him like this, he thought that it seemed to be caused by his previous experience. Although he did not have any bad intentions, he wanted to show off. He was a little too impatient.
On the contrary, his sister Xiao Lan's performance was more outstanding.
