The Su Family's ultimatum
Returning to the clan, Gu Xuan saw that the Gu Clan had changed. High walls had been reinforced outside, and every ten steps, there would be a strong warrior patrolling. Behind the walls, one could faintly see hidden arrows, knives, and spears.
"It seems that Father has made ample preparations." Gu Xuan smiled. Previously, under the hands of Gu Duanchen, the Gu Clan had gradually declined. Now, it was completely different.
However, this was just a deterrent. For an expert like him, even if the security was ten times tighter, it would still be useless. The most important thing for a family was still a Xuan Rank expert.
"Young master, the patriarch wants you to gather at the clan's plaza." A clan member bowed and said when he saw Gu Xuan.
"What's going on? Did he only call me, or is there someone else? "Gu Xuan asked with a frown.
"Not only the Young Master, but all of the Mystic Rank experts in the family have gone. The Grand Elder has also come out of seclusion. As for what happened, it's not something a Spirit Rank clansman like me can know." The clansman said respectfully.
"Gather everyone?" Gu Xuan's heart sank as he sensed the severity of the matter. He circulated the power of fire through his legs and flew towards the clan's square.
At this moment, there were already 29 Mystic Rank experts gathered in the Gu Clan's square. Gu Sen and Gu Tian Mo stood at the front with cold faces.
"What's going on?" Gu Xuan landed on the square and asked with a frown.
"Xuan 'er, you're here. Take a look at this letter." Gu Sen circulated his strength and pushed his palm forward. A piece of paper flew straight into Gu Xuan's palm like a wooden plank.
Gu Xuan only took a glance and his face became gloomy, "The Su family actually wants the Gu family to hand over 100% of their resources. Are they trying to push the Gu family to a dead end?"
"Hmph! Su Zhenqian, that old dog, wants to take advantage of the situation and take away the Gu Clan's property. It's just that he doesn't have any reason, so he wants to force the Gu Clan to take action. "Gu Tian Mo also sneered.
"Then, Father and Second Grandpa, what do you mean?" Gu Xuan looked at the two of them.
"How can the Gu Clan submit to the Su Clan? Today, I've gathered all the experts of the Gu Clan to fight the Su Clan to the death!" Gu Sen said in a deep voice.
"If we were to fight now, it would be no different from striking a rock with an egg." Gu Xuan shook his head.
"Xuan 'er, even if we don't make a move now, the Su Clan will make a move sooner or later. At that time, we will be in an even more passive position. Now is the best time to evacuate the younger generation. You are the hope of the Su Clan.
Gu Tian Mo said with a serious face.
"In my opinion, the Su Clan will take action at least a few months later. Father, why don't you wait for a few months? I have a special method that can help the clan's warriors increase their strength. At that time, you will have more confidence," Gu Xuan advised.
"A warrior's cultivation is calculated in terms of ten years. How much can a few months do?" Gu Sen shook his head.
Gu Tian Mo also sighed. It wasn't that he didn't want to protect the Gu Clan. However, he had no choice now.
Gu Xuan glanced at the two of them and muttered to himself for a while. "What if I can guarantee that in two months, all the Profound Rank martial artists in the family will be greatly improved?"
"How big is it? The gap between the Su family and the Gu family is not something you can imagine. " Gu Tian Mo shook his head. He knew that Gu Xuan was quite capable, but the gap between the two clans was too big to measure.
Seeing the two of them losing interest, Gu Xuan's lips curled into a smile. "Other than the two of you, everyone will increase by five stars!"
"What did you say?"
Gu Sen and Gu Tian Mo's expressions froze as they felt their ears buzzing.
"I mean, other than the two of you, I can increase the fighting power of the other clansmen by five stars in two months! In the family, there will be an additional twenty-seven Profound Rank martial artists of six stars and above. "
"Gulp!"
Gu Sen and Gu Tian Mo both swallowed their saliva and looked at Gu Xuan blankly.
If someone else said this, they would only think that the person was crazy. However, the person who said this was Gu Xuan, an existence with countless secrets.
"Xuan 'er, are you serious?" Gu Sen couldn't help but take a step forward and grabbed Gu Xuan's shoulder.
"Absolutely. However, you will have to wait for two months. Moreover, all the family assets will be arranged by me." Gu Xuan nodded. As an alchemy master, he knew about some forbidden pills. For example, the Dragon Elephant Pill that Gu Duanchen took back then was a forbidden pill.
However, the pill that Gu Xuan needed was called the Restriction Breaking Pill. It was a third-grade pill, but the side effects were far less severe than the Dragon Elephant Pill. After a Profound Rank martial artist took it, his strength would increase by three stars, but he would never be able to improve again.
The Gu Clan's martial artists had basically exhausted their potential. It was impossible for them to improve even if they wanted to. Therefore, taking the Restriction Breaking Pill was nothing.
"Alright!" Gu Sen's aged face seemed to have become younger by a few decades. He waved his hand and signaled the clan's martial artists to disperse.
Gu Tian Mo also walked up. "Xuan 'er, are you really confident, or are you just trying to change our minds?"
"I am 100% confident. However, I will need two months to prepare. Father and second grandpa can sell the Gu Clan's assets for as much gold coins as possible."
Gu Sen and Gu Tian Mo looked at each other and nodded at the same time. They believed in Gu Xuan unconditionally. Moreover, the Gu Clan was already in a desperate situation. If Gu Xuan could give it a try, there would at least be a glimmer of hope.
The two of them didn't dare to waste any time. After discussing for a while, they split up to organize the Gu Clan's assets.
Although the Gu Clan was in decline, the Gu Clan's assets couldn't be underestimated. It wouldn't be easy to convert these assets into gold coins as soon as possible.
"Now, I have to cultivate as soon as possible!" Gu Xuan felt the pressure.
If he wanted to cultivate, help the Gu Clan, and help Yun Xi buy treasures to recover her soul, he needed a large amount of gold coins.
If he wanted to obtain these gold coins in a short period of time, he could only rely on the mysterious treasure at the bottom of the Blood Deity's Lake. If he could fill an interspatial ring with Spiritual Crystals, everything would be easily solved.
However, the prerequisite for all of this was that he had to possess a Profound Rank combat ability as soon as possible.
Moreover, there wasn't much time left until the Imperial Academy's enrollment. If he didn't increase his strength as soon as possible, the gap between him and Yue 'er would be too big. It would be difficult for him to raise his head.
After returning to his room, Gu Xuan began to refine pills for a long time. With a certain amount of Spiritual Crystals as insurance, Gu Xuan bought more than a dozen kinds of supplementary first-grade pills this time in addition to the materials for the Spiritual Core Pill.
For a warrior's cultivation, the higher the quality of the pills he took, the better. It was more important to match the medicinal effects. A reasonable combination could increase the speed of cultivation by 30%. However, the cost was twice as much as before. If it weren't for the support of the large number of Spiritual Crystals that he had unexpectedly obtained, Gu Xuan wouldn't have been willing to squander like this.
Previously, with Yun Xi's help in cultivation, Gu Xuan had been promoted to the peak of the seven-star level.
As Gu Xuan refined pills, he swallowed pills to cultivate at the same time. In just half a month, he felt a trace of inspiration. The power of flames condensed into a diamond, and the 32nd chakra was successfully broken through. Gu Xuan's strength also naturally reached the eight-star level of the spiritual grade!
"Eight-star level of the spiritual grade!" Gu Xuan's face revealed a trace of emotion. When Gu Xingyun first became his disciple, he was still a 14-year-old boy, and his realm happened to be at the eight-star level of the spiritual grade.
Now, he had also reached the eight-star level of the spiritual grade.
"Back then, with my help, Gu Xingyun broke through to the Profound Rank in two months. Since I set him as my goal, the speed of my breakthrough can only be faster than his." A trace of sharpness flashed in Gu Xuan's eyes.
After spending half a day stabilizing his realm, Gu Xuan walked out of the Gu family and headed to the training field.
