Step by Step Ascend to Immortality - Chapter 65 - 55 The way forward

Chapter 65: Chapter 55 The way forward

Gu Shanhe somewhat approved of Liu Suiyun’s act of asking for money: “No problem. Several hundred people’s daily expenses for food, drink, and other necessities are already unknown amounts. Moreover, this is to bring them back to Tianji Prefecture to settle scores with the Pang family. I don’t know how many weapons, spiritual pills, and talismans will be used. Due to my identity, it’s inconvenient for me to directly act. But providing assistance is definitely no problem.”

There was a kind of ruthlessness in his eyes. Huo Qianshu’s death probably caused great harm in his heart.

Therefore, Liu Suiyun was also not polite to him: “Okay, I still say that I need a lot, a lot of money. But…”

He changed the topic: “With the current strength of the Pang family in Tianji, actually I alone am enough!”

The Pang family in Tianji is an unrivaled behemoth. But that is based on the two Foundation Establishment cultivators, Pang Tianming and Pang Tianshan. For those who are not cultivators, it’s hard to imagine what a Foundation Establishment cultivator is.

You should know that Foundation Establishment is not something that anyone can achieve. Most cultivators are limited to the Qi Refining realm all their lives. Among a hundred casual cultivators, at most two or three can successfully establish the Foundation. Foundation Establishment is really precious.

According to Liu Suiyun’s understanding, the Pang family in Tianji Prefecture can be said to have mountains of gold and silver. There are countless shops and houses, mines and fertile fields all over the prefecture, and countless former disciples and acquaintances. They can casually reward thousands of mu of fertile land. But even for such a family, only two people in a generation can establish the Foundation.

The difficulty of Foundation Establishment lies in not knowing how many mountains of gold and silver have been thrown in and how many fertile fields and shops have been sold. For many small and medium-sized families, cultivating a Foundation Establishment cultivator is simply a high-stakes gamble. The rise and fall of the entire family for hundreds of years depends on whether a Foundation Establishment cultivator can be cultivated within the family.

Liu Suiyun has heard many stories of large families that were once extremely wealthy. They spent hundreds of millions of dollars on a certain cultivator and sold thousands of mu of fertile land. In the end, the cultivator failed to establish the Foundation, and the entire family declined as a result. It took hundreds of years to recover.

The Pang family can cultivate two Foundation Establishment cultivators in one generation. One of them has reached the realm of half-step Golden Elixir. It can be said that their background is extremely strong and has reached an extraordinary level. There is even hope of becoming a real cultivating family.

It’s just that they took a wrong step. Two Foundation Establishment cultivators fell one after another. Originally, they had ten points of strength, but now only one or two points remain. Not to mention that the cultivators and martial artists in the family have also suffered one devastating blow after another. It can be said that now it is like a beautiful exterior but a mess inside.

Therefore, Liu Suiyun feels that with his own strength and a sword, he is also enough to overthrow the entire Pang family in Tianji. But Gu Shanhe shook his head and said: “You underestimate the Pang family. They have been in Tianji Prefecture for three hundred years. Even on the path of cultivation, it has been five generations. The accumulation of five generations…”

Gu Shanhe had hidden meanings in his words. Liu Suiyun could hear the undertones. The accumulation of five generations. No matter what setbacks they have suffered, there are always hidden trump cards that outsiders don’t know. Whoever underestimates such a family will face a disaster.

Before Pang Tianshan died, he revealed such information. He said that there were still two priceless Foundation Establishment Pills hidden at home, as well as countless cultivation methods, secret manuals, spiritual artifacts, and talismans, not to mention that there are several real strong people standing behind the Pang family. There is even a Golden Elixir cultivator like Master Yunpeng.

Liu Suiyun’s single sword. To challenge a family with such accumulation is ultimately a bit too weak. That’s why Gu Shanhe asked him to go to the Heavenly Horse Plain to gather his old subordinates. With the help of these old subordinates who have a blood feud with the Pang family, Liu Suiyun really has a chance to overthrow the Pang family.

“Suiyun understands!” Liu Suiyun immediately replied: “Big brother, after reaching Yuanzhou, I will prepare to go to the Heavenly Horse Plain and settle this blood debt with the dog thieves of the Pang family.”

Gu Shanhe was inconvenient to directly act, but he immediately agreed to help as much as possible: “Very good. If you need anything, whether it’s weapons, money, or food, magical artifacts, talismans, or spiritual pills, just ask me. I won’t treat you unfairly. But after opening up the Pang family, I will take seventy percent!”

Seventy percent!

Liu Suiyun’s first instinct was that Gu Shanhe was really as ruthless as a little woman. He fought hard to open up the Pang family. He only provided logistical support but directly took seventy percent. He was even more ruthless than a woman!

Gu Yinghua had already bargained with Gu Shanhe: “Brother, this won’t do. Suiyun is fighting with his life to open up the Pang family in Tianji. How can you take seventy percent without lifting a finger!”

She remembered clearly. When Pang Tianshan was dying, he said that there were two Foundation Establishment Pills hidden in his family. If it was true, according to the black-hearted price in the market, one Foundation Establishment Pill is three thousand spirit stones. Two Foundation Establishment Pills are six thousand spirit stones! Not to mention the countless rare treasures accumulated by the Pang family for several generations.

As soon as Gu Yinghua thought of this, she spoke even more confidently: “Brother, for this first business, you have to take care of your brother-in-law. Otherwise, if you take only thirty percent when receiving the loot!”

“Taking only thirty percent. That’s not called receiving loot!” Gu Shanhe laughed: “Sister. Taking only thirty percent is called being a sucker.”

“You have to take care of your sister!” Gu Yinghua was being unreasonable and relentless: “Or, you are not willing to be a sucker for your sister?”

“Okay, okay!” Gu Shanhe smiled: “There are always people who are suckers for you, sister. I will only take thirty percent.”

He thought he was being cryptic, but Gu Yinghua understood his meaning immediately. The sucker he was talking about was not her but Liu Suiyun who became a real receiver of the price – although the truth was far from this.

Gu Yinghua couldn’t help but feel short of breath. Even her own brother didn’t believe what happened when she encountered the cyan giant roc on Yuehua Mountain. How could she convince her extremely old-fashioned master.

The matter of the two little loli babies on her body was really too shocking. And if their earth-shattering power was rumored, who knows how many top cultivators at the Nascent Soul and Deity Transcendence realms would be attracted. Maybe even immortals above the Deity Transcendence realm would act.

Although her master was a cultivator at the Nascent Soul realm and even had the hope of achieving Deity Transcendence, if the truth about these twin babies was rumored, even if she wanted to protect her, she would be powerless. Even Lingjing Mountain couldn’t be protected.

Therefore, last night when their love was deep, Gu Yinghua and Liu Suiyun had already agreed. The matter of these twins must not be leaked out even a little bit. Even people as close to Liu Suiyun as Xu Zhaori and as close to Gu Yinghua as Gu Shanhe and the Spotless Nun must not be greedy for a moment of pleasure and ruin the important matter.

But in this way, Gu Yinghua inevitably suffered. She couldn’t clear herself no matter what. Thinking of this, she gave Gu Shanhe a fierce look. Gu Shanhe pretended not to see it: “Brother-in-law, let’s talk in detail when we get to Yuanzhou!”

Liu Suiyun was just about to answer when Gu Yinghua had already given an order to send him away: “Okay, brother. You can go back to Yuanzhou first and wait for us. Just leave Xiao Yu behind!”

Gu Shanhe protested on his handsome face: “I brought Xiao Yu here specifically to pick you up!”

“So just leave Xiao Yu behind. Brother, if you have urgent matters, you can go and deal with them first. We will wait for you in Yuanzhou. I have agreed with Suiyun that we will go to Yuanzhou hand in hand!”

Looking at Gu Yinghua and Liu Suiyun’s sweet appearance, Gu Shanhe couldn’t help but sigh that women are really fickle. Although this Xing Ruyu is a prominent figure, he is still played around by his sister.

“Okay, okay!” Gu Shanhe had already jumped back on the golden eagle: “Xiao Yu will also come with me. If you don’t find me when you reach Yuanzhou, just wait for three to five more days in Yuanzhou. I will come back with Xiao Yu!”

Watching Gu Shanhe and the two spirit birds disappear into the sky, Gu Yinghua gently clapped her hands: “Okay, Uncle Huo’s feelings have been conveyed. His ashes have also been handed over to my brother. Fortunately… The eyesore has finally left!”

“Good!” Liu Suiyun didn’t expect Gu Yinghua to use such an interesting word to describe Gu Shanhe. But for their world of two, Gu Shanhe was indeed an eyesore.

“Good… Let me take one step at a time and carry you on my back to Yuanzhou. I just wish this journey would never end!”

“Um!” Gu Yinghua understood Liu Suiyun’s thoughts. Otherwise, why would she drive away Gu Shanhe, this eyesore: “We have a lot to talk about. But before that, I still have something to do…”

“What’s the matter?”

Gu Yinghua announced in a high-spirited manner: “In view of the fact that you, servant, are longing for the supreme Dao, this young lady announces that from now on, I will teach you the supreme Dao. Let you know what is the ultimate of the Dao.”

It was really unreasonable, but Liu Suiyun just smiled.

In terms of immortal cultivation, he is the most standard person from an unorthodox background. Almost all his skills are figured out by himself. Although Gu Yinghua comes from a Buddhist cultivation sect like Lingjing Mountain and is also a female cultivator. What she has learned is very different from Liu Suiyun. But stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade. Not to mention that Gu Yinghua is far superior to Liu Suiyun in both cultivation and knowledge.

In the next few days of traveling together hand in hand, perhaps it will be the period when Liu Suiyun makes the greatest progress in immortal cultivation. Therefore, Liu Suiyun smiled and asked: “If I learn well, does the young lady have any rewards?”

“Don’t be wild and unrestrained. No, don’t be wild in your thoughts…” Gu Yinghua’s earlobes were all red. She felt that her whole body was numb: “Even if you learn extremely well, it can only be at night…”

Liu Suiyun smiled again: “Not during the day?”

Gu Yinghua was lying beautifully on Liu Suiyun’s back. She said softly: “It really can’t be during the day. Even if you learn extremely well… Unless, unless you promise me three conditions.”

Liu Suiyun seemed to be ready to carry her back to the Heavenly Maiden Temple now: “What conditions? I promise all of them.”

“Um!” Gu Yinghua’s voice was barely audible, but she expressed her conditions: “First, after I return to Lingjing Mountain, no matter what, you must write to me often. I miss you so much.”

“Um, I promise!”

“After we part in Yuanzhou, we don’t know when we will meet again. I can’t control your being fickle. But even when you are fickle, you mustn’t forget me!”

“And, always be good to me. After I marry you and become your wife, you mustn’t hit me or our baby!”

Gu Yinghua had a sweet face.
