Gu Yao briefly explained the situation in the canyon and asked the other cultivators what they planned to do. He and Chi Changye had offended many cultivators from the Longxian Sect, so they would not stay here and let those guys gather to cause trouble.
The killing below was earth-shattering and intense before, and the cultivators above were not unaware. They were glad that they stayed honestly above because of Chi Changye. If they followed down, they might have become the nourishment for that spirit tree. Even if they just followed to drink the soup, it was not so easy to drink. Therefore, they decided to leave immediately after hearing Gu Yao's words, so as not to be angered by those Longxian Sect people.
The cultivators from the Tianlin Continent who gathered here dispersed and flew in different directions with their magic tools. Chi Changye and Gu Yao also took Tian Feirong and others away for the time being, looking for a hidden place to rest.
After opening a simple cave, Gu Yao first called out the crystal snake of the little fat man. Its wounds were not treated by the kitten, and it didn't know how long it would take to heal by itself, because those were burns left by the black flame. Now the crystal snake was not the enemy of the kitten, but the spirit beast contracted by the little fat man. It could play a big role in this place.
The kitten reluctantly waved its paw at the crystal snake after Gu Yao promised a lot of benefits. Although it was reluctant in its heart, it did it for the sake of food. There was gray-black smoke rising from the crystal snake.
As the smoke dissipated, the spots on the crystal snake's body really eased a lot. The little fat man immediately fed it a healing pill, and its wounds recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The crystal snake initially restrained its desire to escape and was very careful when facing the kitten, making Gu Yao laugh. He described the "heroic deeds" of the crystal snake in the valley to the little fat man and Tian Feirong, making them surprised and amused. They didn't expect it to be such a snake.
The little fat man knew that the crystal snake had a purpose and actively contracted with him, but he was still very happy. This was a big gift that came to him voluntarily. With the crystal snake, he couldn't sweep the entire secret realm like Chi Changye, but it was enough for him and Tian Feirong to protect their own safety.
The little fat man happily stretched out his hand and touched the crystal snake's head. The crystal snake didn't mind that its master's cultivation was weaker than it, and also rubbed back happily.
Tian Feirong was jealous. Why didn't a powerful demon beast throw itself into his arms? The little fat man's luck was too good.
The kitten showed its teeth and grinned at the crystal snake, extremely unhappy. The crystal snake snorted and drilled into the little fat man's sleeve.
Gu Yao pulled the kitten's ear and told it not to bully the snake anymore. He comforted Tian Feirong, who was envious and lost: "Brother Tian, if it was a fire attribute demon beast, it would definitely look for Brother Tian to contract. Brother Tian, don't be discouraged. Without the crystal snake's help, the little fat man is not your opponent."
The little fat man didn't care. He was in a good mood at the moment and didn't mind these words at all.
Tian Feirong was slightly comforted by that, but he also knew that this kind of opportunity was hard to come by, and besides, the brotherhood between him and the little fat man was not something that a little snake could provoke.
When the crystal snake first pounced, the little fat man rushed out to block him. Although he was pulled away, the crystal snake also shifted its target. It scared him out of a sweat at that time, but fortunately the result was good.
Knowing that Chi Changye had taken two blood lapis fruits by himself, Tian Feirong and the little fat man were also happy for him and Gu Yao. In their view, with these blood lapis fruits, Chi Changye might be able to successfully form a core without the heavenly essence pill, relying on his talent and strength. He was the person who successfully built the foundation without even using the foundation building pill.
Chi Changye handed over the blood lapis fruits to Gu Yao for safekeeping, and Gu Yao sent them into the pill pavilion, where there was a place to isolate the spiritual energy and block the breath.
He had seen it, and there was no seed in the blood lapis fruit. That is to say, it was almost impossible to cultivate a blood lapis tree under the current conditions. Even in the memory left by the spirit race predecessor, he didn't find any information about cultivating the blood lapis tree.
This also made Gu Yao realize that although the interstellar world's technological civilization had its own uniqueness, it was not omnipotent. When the blood lapis fruit matured, he saw that the spirit tree itself was slowly withering. The mission of this spirit tree seemed to end here.
Maybe there is nothing left there now, but he doesn't know whether the environment there can breed another blood lapis tree in hundreds or thousands of years.
In the past, when he saw the records of those natural treasures in the books, he found it hard to understand how rare and difficult they were to cultivate. This time's personal experience made him understand a bit, which made him feel that even if he didn't get the blood lapis fruit, he wouldn't regret having such a glimpse.
After resting, the four people and two beasts set off again. The crystal snake always cautiously looked at Gu Yao, but was immediately glared back by the kitten, making Gu Yao feel like he was carrying two children, because they were always fighting and noisy, very childish.
They had seen a lot of demon beasts in the secret realm, but few were as smart as the kitten and this crystal snake. He guessed that this crystal snake's bloodline and spiritual intelligence were not low, and it still had some room for growth in the future.
The performance of the crystal snake in the next few days made them admire it. It actually took the little fat man and Gu Yao to sweep several places. Needless to say, they were all places it had visited before, making their gains increase greatly. In the end, even Tian Feirong looked at the crystal snake with extreme affection.
Only the kitten became more and more irritable. Damn it!!
It only knew how to show off everywhere, and even abandoned its beastly nature. Not only did it flatter and please its own master, but also came to please other cultivators. If those big demons knew that there was such a crystal snake that disgraced the face of the demon beasts, they would definitely tear it apart.
After being irritable, it became very depressed. Doesn't this show that it is useless? Sure enough, this snake bastard was cunning and hateful! Thinking about it, it was not relieved, and the kitten glared at the snake bastard again.
In this way, the few points marked on the map were bypassed, and the role of the crystal snake was greater than that of the map. Gu Yao muttered to Chi Changye secretly, if he had known that it was so useful, he would have caught a demon beast and contracted it as soon as he entered.
Of course, this was just a joke. He dared to say that there were not many demon beasts with the ability of the crystal snake, and few people could match the speed of the crystal snake when it sprang up.
That day, they ran into a few cultivators who were chased by a group of flying birds and saved them by the way. Because they were far away, Tian Feirong found out that one of them was his big brother, and the other companions were also cultivators from the Tianhai Sect, who had seen them in the Tianshui Market last time.
It was not Chi Changye's turn to take action, and Gu Yao and the others killed them all. The birds saw that they couldn't get any benefits, and flapped their wings and ran away.
They were not far from the Cangkun Palace, and their destination was the same, so they went on the road together.
Compared with Tian Feirong, his big brother and the other Tianhai Sect cultivators looked much more embarrassed, but they were grateful and respectful to Gu Yao and Chi Changye. If it weren't for Chi Changye's warning and action, they wouldn't dare to venture into such a deep place.
Along the way, the harvest was quite big. After digesting these gains when they went out, their strength could rise a big step forward, which was worth at least ten years of hard work.
Tian Feirong expected that his big brother would not miss this opportunity to improve, and he would definitely enter the secret realm. But the secret realm was so big that it was not easy to find his big brother, so he had been worried about his safety. Now he finally met him, and his hanging heart finally fell back to its original place.
After the joy of reunion, Tian Feirong felt a bit embarrassed, because he remembered his identity. Although his original situation was caused by Tian's mother, he was able to live well thanks to the whole Tian family, which made him unable to hate Tian's mother.
After all, if his aptitude was really detected, the family would definitely focus on cultivating him among him and his big brother, and the resources that his big brother could enjoy would be relatively reduced. From Tian's mother's perspective, how could she let a non-biological son affect her biological son's future.
When he was resting, Tian Feiyang came to talk to his second brother, and he had a lot of questions in his stomach when he met this time.
"Second brother, what's wrong with your spiritual power?" He noticed it when Tian Feirong took action. The original light blue flame power had turned into fiery red. "Is it because of the change caused by the advancement?"
Seeing the worry and concern in his big brother's eyes, Tian Feirong made a decision in his heart. This matter never had to let his big brother know. They grew up together, and his big brother took care of him a lot. They were brothers.
With this in mind, he felt much more relaxed, and his brows stretched out. He replied: "It's not advancement, but using a special technique to hide my original appearance. Thanks to my big brother's letter, I learned that my physique is special…"
Tian Feirong told Tian Feiyang about his recessive Qingyan body, and also briefly mentioned some of the origins of the Tian family. The purpose was to make his big brother more vigilant. He heard that there was something to do with the Extinction Organization that was exposed some time ago. Fortunately, he reminded him in time. If he was targeted by those people, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Fortunately, you are fine, second brother. So it turns out that you didn't make much progress in your cultivation before, because of your physique. Do you have any corresponding cultivation techniques?" Tian Feiyang guessed.
"Yes," Tian Feirong said with a smile, "You don't know how fast I progress now when I practice. It was harder than dragging a cart by an old cow before. How could I practice then? Big brother, let's work hard together from now on. We don't have to say that we will restore the glory of our ancestors, but at least we have to make our Tian family not be easily bullied by others."
Tian Feiyang was also happy for his second brother, and punched him on the shoulder: "You are right, big trees are easy to attract the wind. As long as we have a place for our Tian family on this Tianlin Continent, that's enough."
Tian Feirong also punched his big brother, and the two brothers looked at each other and laughed.
