Yang Wu didn't expect that he would suddenly become a permanent guest of the Mount Heng School's Sunset Peak. He didn't know what this meant, but he knew that it was something to be happy about. The other party had rewarded him with three small sacred medicines, a hundred heavenly medicines, and a thousand king medicines. This was definitely a big deal, but to the Sunset Peak, this was nothing more than a drop in the ocean.
Permanent guests were different from ordinary guests. The former could ask the Sunset Peak for help in times of danger, and the Sunset Peak would fully support them. The latter, on the other hand, wouldn't receive such treatment.
When Gu Qing told him the benefits, Yang Wu understood that this reward was really good.
After the Sunset Peak Peak Lord's holy words, Yang Wu and Gu Qing went to the Peak Lord's Pavilion to meet the Sunset Peak Lord and receive their reward.
The Sunset Peak Lord's Pavilion was built in an ancient style and had an extraordinary style. There was a huge cauldron burning incense in front of the door, and an ancient tree that towered into the sky to provide shade. Layers of stairs extended into the interior, and there were king-level guards standing guard. There were also Heavenly Fish Realm and even Dragon Transformation Realm warriors secretly guarding the place. It could be said that the security was very tight.
Gu Qing led Yang Wu inside and wasn't stopped. The guards on the left and right all had a respectful attitude. This was a young talent that the Peak Lord had personally bestowed upon him, and there was only envy in their eyes.
After walking up the green stairs, they came to a door with two vermillion pillars. Looking inside, they could vaguely see a spacious hall inside.
When they walked in, they realized that the hall was very large. It was at least forty meters tall, fifty meters wide, and sixty meters long. It was as if they had come to a small space, and it couldn't be compared to an ordinary hall.
At the center of the hall sat an old man. He wore a grey robe, and his body was bent. His old eyes were filled with age spots, and the most conspicuous thing was the special emblem embroidered on his chest. It was shaped like a pill emitting flames, and there was an oval dark blue line circling it in the middle, which represented a special meaning.
This was the Peak Lord of Sunset Peak, and also the one with the most seniority among the nine main peaks of the Mount Heng Sect. The Peak Lords of the same generation as him had either died or retreated behind the scenes, passing the position of Peak Lord to the new generation of Saints. He was the only one who still firmly held the position of Peak Lord.
It was not that he yearned for the position of Peak Lord, but that his successor had not appeared yet. Three years ago, he had announced that whoever could become a Saint Alchemist within ten years would be able to take over the position of Peak Lord. If no Saint Alchemist appeared within ten years, then the position of Peak Lord would be handed over to someone from the Weapon Forging Pavilion, and the Pill Pavilion would no longer be able to compete for the position of Peak Lord.
This old Peak Lord had said this to encourage the pharmacists of the Mount Heng Sect to reach a higher level. Unfortunately, no one had become a Saint Pharmacist, leaving him greatly disappointed.
Gu Qing was his grand-disciple. His talent was extremely outstanding, and he had personally given Gu Qing pointers. Gu Qing's comprehension abilities were extraordinary, and he became an outstanding talent among the younger generation of pharmacists. Unfortunately, it was still quite impossible for him to become a Saint Pharmacist in the remaining seven years.
Who knew that Gu Qing would invite Yang Wu to discuss the Dao of Pill Refinement, which would lead to an anomaly in the Dao of Pills, helping all the pharmacists of the Sunset Peak gain something. Perhaps someone really would break through and become a Saint Pharmacist in the next seven years.
This was also the reason why he had given Gu Qing and Yang Wu a reward through divine speech.
"Greetings, Peak Lord!" After Gu Qing arrived in the hall, he knelt down and greeted Chu Qingzhuang.
Gu Qing being able to have his current accomplishments was definitely related to this Sacred Expert.
Yang Wu also bowed deeply towards Si Qingzhuang to show his respect to the Saint.
"Rise, bestow!" Si Qingzhuang said in an aged voice. Immediately afterwards, a Universe Ring flew towards the two of them.
The rewards of Saints were all stored in Universe Objects. In the eyes of others, Universe Objects were very precious, but they were nothing in the eyes of Saints.
After receiving the Universe Ring, Gu Qing bowed deeply towards his master again. This reward was even more abundant than what he had gained from cultivating for over twenty years. He had completely basked in Yang Wu's glory.
After receiving the Universe Ring, Yang Wu did not even look at it. He directly stored it away in his Universe Space. He would slowly study what kind of herbs were in there after leaving this place.
At this moment, Si Qingzhuang's gaze landed on Yang Wu. Yang Wu felt like his entire body had been seen through by that pair of old eyes. He murmured inside, "None of these Saints are to be trifled with. There are basically no secrets before them."
"Yang Wu, may I ask where your master is?" Si Qingzhuang asked.
Yang Wu answered honestly, "My master is from the Celestial Palace."
He had already said this to the Spectral Elder in the Thousand Mountains Pass, so he obviously could not change it.
In reality, apart from the Daemon Taming Medallion, he had not received any other legacies from the Heavenly Palace. His cheap master was far too stingy.
"The Heavenly Palace!" Si Qingzhuang's expression changed slightly. A while later, he sighed gently, "It's been a while since I've heard of that name, but it seems like only that place can create a monstrous genius like you."
Yang Wu didn't dare to answer and just listened obediently. Gu Qing, on the other hand, showed a trace of doubt, as if he had never heard of the Heavenly Palace.
Just when Si Qingzhuang was about to say something else, someone rushed in from outside. Si Qingzhuang stood up and said, "Welcome, sect master."
"Haha, elder Si, don't be like that. I've only come to see my future son-in-law," a loud, clear voice rang out.
Yang Wu and Gu Qing looked back. It was the sect master of the Mount Heng sect, Shu Yucheng, and his daughter, Shu Yujun.
Gu Qing tugged at Yang Wu and bowed towards Shu Yucheng again. Yang Wu could sense that the middle-aged man before him was extraordinary, so he copied Gu Qing and bowed towards him.
Shu Yujun's gaze shifted towards Yang Wu. Traces of affection leaked out from her beautiful eyes. Even a fool would be able to sense it.
Yang Wu did not think too much of it. He thought, "Is Gu Qing the sect master's son-in-law?"
"Has Yujun taken a liking to this kid?" Si Qingzhuang glanced at Yang Wu and asked.
Before, he had wanted to bring Gu Qing and Shu Yujun together, but their personalities did not seem to match. Neither of them was willing to accept his feelings, so he did not force it.
Obviously, he could guess Shu Yucheng's intentions from what he had said earlier.
"You have sharp eyes," Shu Yucheng said with a smile. Then he looked towards Yang Wu and revealed a hint of admiration. "As expected of the youth that my daughter has taken a liking to. He's not bad, but his cultivation level is still a bit too tender. However, if he is polished for another hundred years, he will definitely be able to shine brightly."
Yang Wu was completely confused by Shu Yucheng's gaze. He pointed at his own face and asked, "Are you talking about me?"
"The lucky kid is talking about you. Hurry up and greet your father-in-law," Shu Yucheng said unhappily when he saw Yang Wu's appearance.
Shu Yujun could not take it anymore.
Even though she was a straightforward and straightforward girl, her face burned fiercely when her father said this in public. She stomped her feet and said angrily, "Dad, don't talk nonsense. You'll scare Yang Wu to death."
Yang Wu was indeed scared to death.
Did they want him to be their son-in-law?
Gu Qing patted Yang Wu's shoulder and said with a smile, "Congratulations, brother. We'll be a family from now on."
Yang Wu came back to his senses and looked towards Shu Yujun, saying, "Miss Shu, we've only just met. Can you tell me if this is true?"
Shu Yujun rolled her eyes at Yang Wu with a red face and said, "If you think it's not true, then it's not true."
Her little girl appearance had seduced Gu Qing's soul. He swallowed his saliva and said, "When did Senior Sister become so alluring? If I had known earlier, I would have agreed."
Yang Wu rubbed his face and said, "Miss Shu, can we stop messing around? I'm timid and can't take any provocation."
Shu Yucheng frowned and said, "Kid, could it be that you don't like my daughter?"
Instantly, Yang Wu felt the pressure increase. It was as if if he said the word "no", his blood would splatter on the spot.
Yang Wu braced himself and said, "Honorable Sect Leader, I didn't mean that. Miss Shu is beautiful and capable. As long as you're a man, you'll be moved. But I've only just met her. We don't know each other very well. This isn't too appropriate."
"Hehe, if I say it's appropriate, then it's appropriate. Could it be that you're looking down on our Heng Mountain Sect?" Shu Yucheng said with a smile, but his tone left no room for doubt. His body was bursting with an aura that made people not dare to look directly at him. Who below the Saint Realm would dare to resist?
A thin layer of sweat appeared on Yang Wu's forehead. He felt the pressure increase. The other party was clearly forcing him to marry. If he objected, he would not have a good ending. The other party was a dignified Sect Leader who had come personally. He had already given him enough face.
Zhu Qing pursed his old eyes and did not speak. Gu Qing lowered his head and did not dare to make a sound. Shu Yujun looked nervously at Yang Wu, afraid that Yang Wu would refuse. Only Shu Yucheng looked as if victory was already in his hands.
He thought to himself, "It's rare for my daughter to take a fancy to a man. As her father, of course I have to help her."
No matter how high Shu Yucheng's position was, he valued his daughter very much. He did not want to wrong his child at all. He was a qualified father.
Yang Wu gently wiped the sweat off his forehead. He met Shu Yucheng's gaze and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Honorable Sect Leader. I already have a fiancée."
When Shu Yujun heard this, the red flush on her face faded and was replaced by a pale white.
"A fiancée is not a true wife," Shu Yucheng said coldly.
"But in my heart, she's already my official wife," Yang Wu said firmly.
"Kid, this is Heng Mountain, not some other place!"
"I know. I just want to pass through here."
"Do you think you still have the chance to pass through?"
"Then I can only leave!"
"Hmph, you still want to leave? If you don't agree to this Sect Leader's request, you'll die right now!" Shu Yucheng said angrily.
He was the Sect Leader of a first-rate faction and sat on a large piece of territory. He was an overlord who kept his word. He did not believe that he could not take care of this kid in front of him.
"Dad, forget it. Don't make things difficult for him. We were too reckless." Shu Yujun took a deep breath and said to Shu Yucheng.
"Daughter, he doesn't know how to appreciate favors. I must kill him," Shu Yucheng said sternly.
"Dad, you have to have confidence in your daughter. He really doesn't know me that well. As long as I have some time, I believe that he will know what to choose." Shu Yujun said with a confident smile. Then she looked at Yang Wu and said, "Yang Wu, this young lady is determined to pursue you!"
