Chapter 836 Twenty Years

The beautiful women did not know that the inn where the six people were staying was now the property of the Ma family. The shopkeeper had already sent a waiter to deliver a letter to Old Ma. The letter written by Old Ma himself was passed to the fisherman by the lake by the waiter who went out of the city to buy things every day. The fisherman rowed a small boat to the center of the lake and threw the letter into the lake. The envelope fell into the water, turned into a ray of light, and fell straight to the bottom of the lake.

The glimmer sank to the bottom of the lake. Suddenly, a small turtle the size of a palm jumped out from the mud, opened its mouth and grabbed the glimmer. It turned around and disappeared into the darkness at the bottom of the lake. "So... they really came here?"

Gu Shiyi looked at Lao Ma's handwriting in his hand and asked Pu Yanlan,

"Yan'er, do you think...can they find me?"

Pu Yanlan frowned.
"Although I don't know who is coming over there, I must have the ability to track them down. If the other party has any special means..."

She looked at Gu Shiyi and said seriously,
"Eleven, why don't you hide in Qianfeng Realm for the time being? I will call back Lao Ma and Wangyue, and let them all enter the secret realm!"

Gu Shiyi thought for a while and nodded.
"it is good!"

The next day, Old Ma, who had turned into a delivery boy, rode a carriage out of the city and arrived at the lake. He quietly got into the water when no one was paying attention. By the time the beautiful woman led people to search all over Liuguang City without success and expanded the search to a thousand miles outside the city, even the breath of Wangyue in the lake had completely disappeared!

The beautiful woman listened to everyone's report with a sullen face, and finally admitted in her heart that she could not find the girl from the dragon clan.

"Clan leader..."

Li Linfeng behind her looked anxious. The beautiful woman looked back at the people behind her and gritted her teeth.

"Let's go back!"

She is the head of the clan, and coming in person to look for someone is already an exception. If she delays too long, there might be changes in the clan. Now she has to return empty-handed!
Then he led everyone to fly up into the sky. Before leaving, he looked back at Liuguang City in the distance. The beautiful woman said bitterly,

"I'll be back!"

Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan received the news from Liuguang City, but they were afraid that the beautiful woman would make a surprise attack, so they still did not dare to go out. Everyone hid themselves, and even Wang Xuying was brought into the secret realm, where she practiced in seclusion with Pu Yanlan. Gu Shiyi brought Danzai into the Qianfeng Realm, and after handing Danzai over to Bai Yan, Gu Shiyi concentrated on practicing with the old loaches. Every day, the old loaches would take turns to come and teach her in different ways, and sometimes there would be several of them at a time.

Just like this, day after day, time passed like water. Except for Lao Ma who often went out to take care of his business, everyone was devoted to practice. In the blink of an eye, twenty years had passed.

Twenty years is just a blink of an eye for cultivators, and a new emperor has ascended the throne in Liuguang City. Lao Ma's business has been handed over to his son. This son, named Ma Degao, was picked up by Lao Ma from the roadside. Lao Ma told others that he was his biological son, and that his mother had died during childbirth.

Mr. Ma had only this one son. He was carefully trained by famous teachers since he was young. He learned a lot of economics and business knowledge. When he was eighteen years old, he was able to work independently and took over all of Mr. Ma's business within two years.

Mr. Ma was old and frail. One day, he caught a cold and was bedridden ever since. He was getting worse day by day. Ma Degao was waiting by his side. Seeing that Mr. Ma was barely breathing, he knew that he was dying. Ma Degao suppressed his grief, dismissed the servants, and waited by his bedside for the last moment. Suddenly, Mr. Ma came to life, sat up, and took Ma Degao's hand and said,

"Son, I have not accomplished much in my life. I have earned some property for you. There are hundreds of people who depend on us for food. I see that this is not going to work. I don't have any instructions for you. You just need to take good care of our Ma family's property and let the hundreds of people who depend on us live a stable life. You will not let me down!"

Then he took out a jade pendant from under the pillow.

"This item was given by an immortal. If our Ma family is in danger of survival, we can break this jade pendant and someone will come to rescue us!"

After handing the jade pendant to Ma Degao, Mr. Ma passed away. There is no need to mention how sad Ma Degao was and how the Ma family handled the funeral!
It's just said that it's in the secret place at the bottom of the lake...

Gu Shiyizhi squinted at the old horse who was lying on the ground teasing Danzai after taking off the rich man's silk clothes.
"You have so much wealth, if not enough to rival a country, then enough to rival a city. You don't want it anymore and give it all to your adopted son?"

Old Ma laughed and said,

"Isn't entering the world to cultivate one's mind? Whether you are rich enough to rival a country or a city, having a lot of money is just a number. It's meaningless. I have been a rich man in the world for once. That's enough!"

Gu Shiyi just laughed when he heard it, and kicked the egg boy who rolled to his feet away. The egg boy rolled away and knocked down a fur ball who couldn't dodge in time, and scared the other fur balls away. The egg boy was very happy and rolled after them...

Gu Shiyi laughed loudly, and suddenly something clicked in his heart. He turned around and saw the gate of the palace in the distance open. Pu Yanlan, who looked tired, walked out. Behind her followed Long Hun, who was also weak, and Wang Xueying, who also looked depressed.

"Yan'er, what's wrong?" Pu Yanlan smiled at her.
"After refining a furnace of Fushen Powder, the Nascent Soul Stage and the Spiritual Transformation Stage are indeed a qualitative leap. With my aptitude, I dared to refine pills at the Foundation Establishment Stage and Golden Core Stage. But now, even if I am in the late Nascent Soul Stage, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to refine pills for the Spiritual Transformation Stage!"

Moreover, she is a dual Nascent Soul cultivator, and her consumption of elixirs is higher than that of ordinary cultivators. It will be even more difficult for her to advance in the future!

"What is the Fu Shen San? Let me see it..."

Gu Shiyi asked, Pu Yanlan took out a bottle of pills and gave it to her. Gu Shiyi pulled off the cork, and saw that there was only half a bottle of powder inside. The color was light green, but the smell was very strong. Gu Shiyi rubbed his nose,
"How do you use this Fu Shen powder?"

Pu Yanlan said,

"This is for the Nascent Soul to eat. After the Nascent Soul is refined with the Infant Fire, it can strengthen the Nascent Soul and stabilize the soul!"

Gu Shiyi returned the pill to her.
"Fortunately... I don't need to take pills..."

In fact, except for the time when she was pregnant with Egg Boy and needed to eat a lot of monster meat, her true dragon body could usually absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth spontaneously and automatically. She didn't need to meditate or take pills like human cultivators, which saved her a lot of trouble!
"Well... Yan'er... it's been twenty years. Old Ma has already found out everything. He said that group of people have disappeared long ago. Can we get out now?"

With Gu Shiyi's personality, it was already very rare for her to stay here honestly for twenty years. Seeing that Yan'er had successfully refined the elixir this time, she began to think about going out for a walk!

Pu Yanlan thought for a while and nodded.

"It's better to be careful. Most of Lao Ma's men are ordinary people. I'd better go out and take a look first!"

Gu Shiyi nodded, and the next day Pu Yanlan led the king and Wang Xueying out of the secret realm and went out from the bottom of the lake. She came back a day later and said,

"I patrolled the area over ten thousand miles in one day, and indeed did not find anything unusual!"

Gu Shiyi was overjoyed when he heard that. Everyone was also thinking about taking action after a long period of silence. Even Jin Er and his wife, who were used to staying at home, went out together. Everyone entered Liuguang City, but the Liuguang City today was no longer the same as the Liuguang City of 20 years ago!
In the current Daqian Dynasty, the emperor is incompetent and corrupt officials are in power, making the once powerful dynasty a mess. Although Liuguang City is still prosperous today, the joy and peace of the past can no longer be seen on the faces of passers-by!

Everyone was sitting on the top floor of the Ma family's restaurant. Gu Shiyi sat by the window, looking at the street below. There were thieves running through the crowd, beggars on the street, and the rampant servants of the rich family.
"Tsk tsk tsk... It seems that the Daqian Dynasty will not be peaceful for a few days..."

Gu Shiyi shook his head, Pu Yanlan said calmly,
"The change of dynasties is a common sense in the world. The Duan family of the Daqian Dynasty has been in power for more than 300 years. It is time for a change of dynasty!"

Gu Shiyi smiled and thought of Duan Ruyan from the Duan family. She was a daughter of the royal family. She glanced at Wang Xueying who was sitting beside her.

"Speaking of which, should we go back to Tianyi Sect to have a look? Xueying hasn't been back to Tianyi Sect for a long time!"

Pu Yanlan thought for a while and nodded.

"I should go back and take a look..."

Before the retreat, Pu Yanlan had sent a message to Yan Rufeng. They had not been in contact for more than 20 years, and she didn't know what was happening with Tianyi Sect. She glanced at her disciple who was already in the middle stage of foundation building.
"Xue Ying has now reached the great perfection of the middle stage of foundation building. After returning to Tianyi Sect, she can strive for the late stage..."

Speaking of things like cultivation, there is indeed a huge difference between having a master and not having one. With her and Eleven's guidance, Wang Xuying's cultivation speed can be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds. With her huge supply of elixirs, if she was not afraid that her apprentice would advance too quickly and her state of mind could not keep up, it would not be impossible for Wang Xuying to achieve Golden Core and Nascent Soul now!

The group stayed in Liuguang City for a few days before setting off for Tianyi Sect. When they reached the Guiling Mountains, they saw a few disciples walking around in the mountains. Pu Yanlan saw them and said happily,

"It seems that in the past twenty years or so, the sect has accepted quite a few disciples..."

Gu Shiyi looked at the male and female disciples playing and fighting in the pool below with a smile and said with a laugh,

"Look, does it look like what happened to you guys in Tianyi Sect back then? A bunch of male and female disciples played around and ended up becoming Taoist couples!"

Pu Yanlan rolled her eyes at her.
"You are talking about yourself, right? When did I play with the male disciples? But you... you wandered around the mountains when you had nothing to do, and got to know a lot of brothers and sisters..."
