Gu Changhuan's small face flushed.
Why does Great Grandfather always undermine him?!
After thanking him, the three couldn't wait to take a small sip.
After a mouthful of spiritual wine, regardless of its taste, Gu Changqing felt that the Spiritual Qi in his Dantian had become much more abundant.
It truly lived up to its reputation as spiritual wine from a Foundation Establishment Stage expert!
The three praised it in their hearts simultaneously.
The delicious wine and exquisite dishes made them all eager to eat, though Gu Wanhao only ate a few bites.
He had already reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, and eating was merely to satisfy his cravings; the spiritual meals prepared in the Gu Family's dining hall were of no benefit to his Cultivation.
The table of people ate lively, and although the several half-grown teenagers came from decent Family backgrounds, they rarely ate such a lavish meal.
After the meal, they were all stuffed, and the teenagers returned to their residences holding their bellies; this was a belly full of Spiritual Qi, which was beneficial for Cultivation!
Gu Changhuan also patted his belly, feeling very full!
However, there was a meat dish on the table just now that was truly delicious! It was a pity his appetite was small, and he couldn't eat anymore after a few pieces of meat!
"Great Grandfather, I feel like I don't need to eat dinner tonight," he said, feeling incredibly full.
Gu Changhuan said, feeling a bit embarrassed.
He had tried his best to control himself, but he still ate too much.
He could feel a lot of Spiritual Qi in his body now, just waiting for him to refine it!
Gu Wanhao was not surprised; spiritual meals made by Cultivators were often much more delicious than those of Mortals, and because spiritual meals contained Spiritual Qi, a rich spiritual meal was usually enough to keep a Cultivator full for two or three days.
"Spiritual meals are beneficial for Cultivation, so eating more is fine, as long as you don't overstuff yourself," Gu Wanhao said with a smile.
He transferred a thousand contribution points to Gu Changhuan's identity jade token.
As the Family's Alchemist, he was actually not on Bifeng Mountain for most of the time but was stationed in Nine Serenity Market.
"Great Grandfather will be stationed at our Gu Family's shop in a couple of days.
Changqing, if you need anything, you can go find Great Grandfather or the Clan Chief.
Great Grandfather has transferred a thousand contribution points to you, Changqing, so you can buy whatever you want to eat.
Changqing can read all the books in Great Grandfather's study, and Changqing must also remember to interact more with the Clan members.
I don't think anyone would be so foolish as to bully you, and Great Grandfather will leave the control jade token for the courtyard Formation with you.
Remember to check the Formation when you go out in the morning and evening."
Gu Wanhao admonished.
In fact, there was basically no danger on Bifeng Mountain, but this habit had to be cultivated.
"How long will Great Grandfather be gone?" Gu Changhuan asked, reluctant to part.
He had just left his parents, and now the only familiar relative by his side was his Great Grandfather.
In fact, a Cultivator's life is full of partings and deaths, but Gu Changhuan was still young and had experienced too little to understand.
"It won't be long," Gu Wanhao said.
Unfortunately, he was too busy to teach Gu Changhuan, so it was best for Gu Changhuan to stay on Bifeng Mountain.
The grandfather and grandson walked back to the courtyard.
Gu Changhuan returned to his room, while Gu Wanhao suddenly received a communication spiritual talisman from Gu Wanchang.
After reading the content of the spiritual talisman, his expression tightened, and he turned and left the courtyard to go to Gu Wanchang.
Gu Changhuan sat cross-legged, gradually clearing his mind; he wanted to refine the Spiritual Qi brought by the spiritual meal as quickly as possible.
The Spiritual Qi within him circulated, and as time passed, the Spiritual Qi in his body grew stronger.
After about half an hour, Gu Changhuan finished his Cultivation.
Although the Cultivation process was tedious, he enjoyed the feeling of seeing results from his efforts, which gave him greater motivation to Cultivate.
On the other side, in the Gu Family's deliberation hall, Gu Wanhao and Gu Wanchang both looked troubled.
After a long while, Gu Wanhao finally said, "Since the news comes from the Fang Family Old Ancestor, it's likely not false.
However, with the Family's current situation, I'm afraid..."
"I've thought it through carefully.
This Yao Beast tide is just a small Yao Beast tide stirred up by a Zifu Stage Yao Beast.
Moreover, there's still time to prepare, so it shouldn't cause irreparable losses to the Family."
Gu Wanchang sighed.
Just now, the Fang Family sent a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator to inform Gu Wanchang that the Fang Family Old Ancestor had sent a message saying that the Nine Serenity Mountain Range would experience a small Yao Beast tide in the coming years, urging the Gu Family to prepare.
The reason was that a Golden Horned Rhinoceros in the Qianlong Mountain Range, adjacent to the Nine Serenity Mountain Range, had broken through to the third rank in the territory of the Purple-Eyed Wolf pack.
The Golden Horned Rhinoceros has a massive build, resembles a rhinoceros with golden horns, and has a gentle temperament.
It is one of the prey of the Purple-Eyed Wolf, which is only a second-rank High Grade Yao Beast.
This Golden Horned Rhinoceros that broke through to the third rank might be a mutated Yao Beast.
Shortly after the Golden Horned Rhinoceros broke through, it led its own clan to begin a territorial dispute with the Purple-Eyed Wolf pack.
However, having just advanced to the third rank, it was no match for the Purple-Eyed Wolf pack, and after not long, the Golden Horned Rhinoceros fled in disarray.
A Yao Beast entering the third rank must find a third-rank Spiritual Vein to maintain its Cultivation.
However, the third-rank Spiritual Veins in the Qianlong Mountain Range are all occupied.
Wherever this group of Golden Horned Rhinoceros goes, they will inevitably have to contend for territory.
In the end, there will definitely be one third-rank Yao Beast without territory.
Third-rank Yao Beasts have already developed some intelligence.
If they encounter setbacks and losses multiple times, they are very likely to set their sights on the Nine Serenity Mountain Range!
Also, some low-rank Yao Beasts will be affected by the territorial disputes and leave their original territories.
Although these Yao Beasts' Cultivation won't be very high, they are lethal to Mortals.
The Gu Family had just recovered from the last major Yao Beast tide and then discovered Gu Changhuan, a Spiritual Body user.
Just as they were about to push for further advancement, they encountered a small Yao Beast tide.
What ill Luck!
It is likely that over the next few months, or even one or two years, the Gu Family's territory will be frequently attacked by Yao Beasts.
The Nine Serenity Mountain Range, where the Gu Family is located, is adjacent to the Yao Race territory, and strictly speaking, it is considered a buffer zone between the Human Race and Yao Race.
Qingzhou, where the Nine Serenity Mountain Range is located, is adjacent to the Yao Race.
To expand the Human Race's territory, Haoran Sect, the largest School in Qingzhou, strongly supports Loose Cultivators establishing Family Schools in the buffer zone.
And the Nine Serenity Mountain Range is even a gateway in the southeast of Qingzhou.
For many years, if not for the frequent Yao Beast incursions, the Gu Family would have long been able to Cultivate Zifu Stage Cultivators.
However, the current situation is that among the four Families in the Nine Serenity Mountain Range—Gu, Fang, Yu, and Zhang—there are only two Purple Mansion Stage Cultivators.
One of them, the Fang Family Old Ancestor, is an Elder of Haoran Sect, and the other, the Zhang Family Old Ancestor, is stationed in the Nine Serenity Mountain Range, deterring Loose Cultivators and the Yao Race.
The two Old Ancestors working together, internally and externally, have protected the peace of the Nine Serenity Mountain Range for nearly a hundred years.
Blessings and misfortunes are intertwined.
Although the four Families in the Nine Serenity Mountain Range find it difficult to produce Purple Mansion Stage Cultivators due to the Yao Beasts, they also uniquely occupy several spiritual mountains, primarily Bifeng Mountain, due to their special location, and their territory is several times larger than other Foundation Establishment Stage Families in Qingzhou.
Although their income from spiritual items is much higher than other Families in Qingzhou, their annual losses are also astonishing, and these various aspects are not to be spoken of to outsiders.
"To deal with this matter, the Zhang Family Old Ancestor will hold an exchange meeting in Nine Serenity Market to facilitate mutual exchange among the four Families.
The Zhang Family Old Ancestor will also bring out some Yao Beast Materials."
Gu Wanchang said, with a hint of emotion.
The first-generation Zhang Family Old Ancestor was only in the Purple Mansion Middle Stage, the lowest Cultivation among the four Old Ancestors who jointly established the Family at that time, and he did not have an impressive Legacy.
However, the Zhang Family had good Luck.
The direct descendant of the first-generation Old Ancestor, who is the current Zhang Family Old Ancestor, Zhang Wen Dao, has a wind-attributed mutated Spiritual Root.
With the full support of the Zhang Family, he advanced to Purple Mansion Stage.
Mutated Spiritual Root Cultivators are usually good at fighting, so it is not surprising that the Zhang Family Old Ancestor has High Grade Yao Beast Materials.
