CHAPTER 72
Dominate Zhenshan County
The news of the Gu Clan had spread like wildfire throughout the entire Zhenshan County. The Su Clan, a clan that was close to being an overlord, had been annihilated in a single day. All warriors of the Black Rank and above had died. This news was almost unbelievable.
If it weren't for the fact that the Su Family's businesses were filled with the guards of the Gu Family, everyone would have thought that this was just a joke.
After annihilating the Su Clan, the Gu Clan's reputation had reached an unprecedented peak, even surpassing the Su Clan by several times. Among the new five major clans, the Gu Clan was not on par with the Qin Clan and the Liu Clan. Instead, they were considered to be on the same level as the Marquis's Mansion and the Beichen Trading Company.
Although they were both ranked third, the gap between the two levels was not small. With such a status, the development of the Gu Clan would be smooth sailing. They might even be the first to become a major force that could take over a few counties. After all, although the Marquis's Mansion and the Beichen Trading Company had a higher status, they were unable to continue expanding due to their special circumstances.
"Xuan 'er, if you want any of these treasures, just take them." Gu Tian Mo led a group of carriages back to the Gu Family. Slowly, these carriages carried the treasures that the Su Family had accumulated over the years.
This was the foundation of the Su Clan, and they had never been willing to use it. Originally, they had planned to use it to establish a second power in the neighboring county, but now, the Gu Clan had benefited from it.
Gu Tian Mo chuckled. These treasures were a few times more than what the Gu Clan had.
Thus, he was not stingy with Gu Xuan. Even if it were some rare treasures that Gu Xuan fancied as toys, he would not have any objections. After all, it would not be excessive to say that those treasures were obtained by Gu Xuan.
"Yunxi, are there any special treasures here?" Gu Xuan asked in a low voice.
"How can there be so many special treasures in the world? Do you think treasures are all picked up from the streets?" Yun Xi said in a somewhat exasperated tone, "Finding that beast fire and that Spirit Crystal treasure was already a great stroke of luck. Even if my detection abilities are strong, there shouldn't be so many treasures."
Gu Xuan smiled embarrassedly. He had thought too simply. As long as there were treasures, Yun Xi could find them easily. However, there were not so many treasures in the world. The two treasures that they had found before could be said to have been accumulated over tens of millions of years. It was still easy to find a few treasures that had not been discovered by others. However, Gu Xuan had basically searched through all of them. It was undoubtedly impossible to find new treasures.
Gu Xuan took a glance and only took a few dozen Spiritual Crystals.
"This brat, is he only taking out the expensive stuff?" Gu Tian Mo scolded with a smile, but he didn't mind. It was only a few thousand gold coins. For the current Gu family, it was just a drop in the ocean.
Gu Xuan arrived at the back of the mountain and sat down in the lotus position. A hint of a smile appeared in his eyes. "In seven days, the Imperial College's recruitment will begin. I'll be able to see Yue 'er again."
"Hey, Gu Xuan, who is Yue 'er?" Yun Xi couldn't help but ask.
"Yue 'er? She's my sister. "Gu Xuan smiled and said.
Gu Xuan's thoughts went back to the past. Yue 'er had always followed behind him like a shadow, calling him "Brother Gu Xuan" without getting tired of it.
Although they hadn't seen each other for many years and their identities were worlds apart, Yue 'er's feelings for him hadn't decreased at all.
"Yue 'er was already a five-star Xuan Grade warrior half a year ago. I'm afraid she's already a seven-star Xuan Grade warrior now. I'm a little embarrassed." Gu Xuan rubbed his nose and laughed self-deprecatingly.
Yue 'er, who had been protected by him since she was young, had already reached such a level. However, he was only at the peak of the Spiritual Grade. It had to be said that this was quite a blow.
However, in seven days, Gu Xuan had to go to the Imperial College. In this short period of time, Gu Xuan couldn't gather so many Spiritual Crystals to break through.
"Forget it. Let's not think about this. Let's refine the Spiritual Crystals first. Even if I don't break through, the power of the flame is stronger. It'll be more beneficial for the test later." Gu Xuan grabbed a handful of Spiritual Crystals and directly controlled the Icy Soul Cold Flame to refine them.
After about a month of adaptation, Gu Xuan's devouring speed was also much faster than before.
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. When dawn came, Gu Xuan stopped cultivating. He stood up and walked to the meeting hall.
Gu Tian Mo and Gu Sen were already waiting there. They looked concerned.
The Imperial College was the top college in the Great Barren Dynasty. Those who graduated from there could almost all reach the Honorable Grade. Those who were slightly more talented could even reach the King Grade.
Ever since the Gu Clan declined, there hadn't been such a genius.
Therefore, Gu Xuan's participation in the Imperial College's recruitment was also a grand event. Under normal circumstances, when participating in the test, it wouldn't be publicized. However, the Imperial College only required the strength of a three-star Xuan Grade warrior to pass. Gu Xuan's victory over Su Chen meant that he would pass the test.
"Xuan 'er, the Imperial College can't be compared to Zhenshan Prefecture City. There are many geniuses there. There are even many geniuses who reached the Honorable Grade before graduation. You must be careful in there. Don't be arrogant." Gu Tian Mo patted Gu Xuan's shoulder and reminded him seriously.
Gu Sen frowned and looked at Gu Tian Mo with displeasure. "Tian Mo, what are you talking about? Although there are many geniuses in the Imperial College, is Xuan 'er lacking? I think that other than the so-called top geniuses, there might not be anyone who can suppress Xuan 'er. "
"Uncle is right. However, Xuan 'er has no one to rely on outside. It's better to be careful." Gu Tian Mo said again.
"Yes." Gu Sen nodded and warned: "Xuan 'er should focus on cultivating in the Imperial College. As for the battles, it's best to avoid them. I heard that the Imperial College has a Mountain River List. Those who can enter the top 30 will have a title for their family. Sigh, it's too early for you to say this. If you work hard, you can do it in five years. However, my old bones might not be able to see that day."
The families in the Imperial College could also have titles. Some of the stronger families could be conferred the title of Marquis Family and obtain a city. Some families could even become King Family and obtain land.
Gu Sen didn't dare to dream of becoming a King Family. However, the Gu Family still had the resources to become a Marquis Family. However, in the Great Desolation Dynasty, there were many families with the same strength as the Gu Family. However, there were very few who could obtain a Marquis Family title. They had to make a great contribution or have a peerless genius appear in their family.
All of these could only be achieved by Gu Xuan.
