Transmigration: The Peerless Immortal Husband

When night fell, Gu Yao finally came out of his room. Tian Feirong still hadn’t returned, but he had sent word back home. Gu Yao stayed there waiting.

Chi Changye had his own matters to attend to and couldn’t stay by his side talking all the time, so Tian Feirong drank glass after glass of water on his own.

Gu Yao placed the pills into the storage bag that had originally held the spirit herbs and casually tossed it over: “Apart from the detoxifying pill, here are some healing pills I made in the past few days. See if they’re useful. If it’s beyond my ability, I won’t be able to help.”

Tian Feirong nodded eagerly, like a chick pecking at grains: “They will definitely be useful. Thank you so much, Gu Yao. I’ll take these back home first, and I’ll come to thank you properly another day.”

After speaking, he hurriedly took the life-saving pills and returned home. This time, Tian Feirong owed a great favor to both Gu Yao and Chi Changye. Not only did Gu Yao’s pills prove helpful, but the spirit talismans Chi Changye had drawn also greatly enhanced the Tian family’s fighting capabilities. Otherwise, the Tian family wouldn’t have survived with so many people, even with his aunt’s protection.

Chi Changye briefly explained the situation of the Tian family, and Gu Yao was taken aback: “So the Tian family has been hiding a Foundation Establishment cultivator? I really didn’t expect that. It looks like the Gu family and the Lu family underestimated them. But the Tian family kept this secret really well—there wasn’t even a hint of news before.”

Chi Changye smiled: “For the Tian family to rise and surpass the Gu and Lu families, becoming a cultivation family on par with them, they surely must have some deep roots.”

Gu Yao was quite curious about the battles between Foundation Establishment cultivators and wanted to know what kind of earth-shattering scenes they might involve. However, considering his own life, it was better to stay quietly in the town. Thinking about how many cultivators had lost their lives this time made his scalp tingle. It was safer to honestly focus on body refining and cultivation.

The pills that Tian Feirong brought back indeed proved to be quite effective. With the protection of the spirit talismans and Tian Ru accompanying the team, the Tian family members who were poisoned by the golden-ringed bees’ stingers suffered relatively mild symptoms. After taking the detoxification pills Gu Yao had crafted, their symptoms were greatly alleviated.

Now, aside from the family’s ancestors, Tian Ru had the highest cultivation level in the Tian family, and this naturally placed her in a much higher position. She went to check on the injured and poisoned cultivators, picked up the pills, and examined them. A strange look flashed in her eyes.

“The quality of this pill surpasses that of the pills produced by the Gu family. This detoxification pill also seems somewhat unusual. How old is Gu Yao? What’s his cultivation level? I can’t believe Feirong was able to recruit a cultivator like this.”

The head of the Tian family explained Gu Yao’s background to his daughter, mentioning the matter with the Changxian Sect’s token and the connection to the Feng siblings. Tian Ru finally recalled something. She had left Yuanyang Town long ago and didn’t have a clear impression of Gu Zhiming, who was of the same generation as her from the Gu family.

“The Gu family has always been superficial. To think they’ve produced someone like him. As for the Changxian Sect’s token, Father need not worry. If Gu Yan had particularly good talent, he would have been noticed by the Changxian Sect after entering, but someone like him will sink without a trace in just a few years. Just wait and see, unless he has some fortuitous encounter.”

“But Gu Yao, at just the fourth level of Qi Refining, can craft pills of such high quality? Even our sect’s alchemists can’t compare to him,” Tian Ru said, astonished. In their sect, even the alchemists at that stage of cultivation could only refine basic pills, and the best they could produce were medium-quality pills. But Gu Yao was already capable of refining pills of superior quality, even at the intermediate level. “What kind of spirit root does he have? If possible, it would be best to recruit him into our sect.”

It would be a great way to recruit an alchemist for the sect.

The Tian family head shook his head with regret: “What a pity. He has four spirit roots.”

Tian Ru was taken aback upon hearing this. She had originally thought that Gu Yao had been abandoned by the Gu family and that his talent wasn’t that impressive. But she hadn’t expected him to have four spirit roots. Such talent, without resources or a fortuitous encounter, would only allow him to become a mid-level Qi Refining cultivator at most, just as her father said. It was such a pity. No matter how great his alchemy talent was, it would be useless. If they were to recruit him into the sect, it was better not to mention it further.

“This time, the Gu family and the Lu family deserve to die! Fortunately, Father notified me early and had me return quietly, otherwise, the Tian family would have suffered tremendously!” Tian Ru was furious.

The head of the Tian family was equally angry: “The Gu family must have discovered the alchemist’s inheritance site long ago. But because it was too dangerous inside, they never ventured in. This time, they used it as a trap. One, to exploit those cultivators desperate for wealth, using them as cannon fodder to clear out the obstacles inside. And two, to lure us into a trap and kill us. If it weren’t for that… how could the Tian family have fallen to such a state? The Gu and Lu families are truly overstepping their bounds!”

Fortunately, with the combined efforts of his daughter and the ancestors, they managed to kill some of the Gu family members to vent their anger. However, with the Gu and Lu families joining forces, even though the Tian family had two Foundation Establishment cultivators, they could only barely hold their ground. Thus, after returning to Yuanyang Town, the three families still had to maintain the appearance of peace.

Although the Tian family didn’t actively spread the word, many cultivators were present at the time, and those who survived spread the news. The message was that the Tian family now had a new female Foundation Establishment cultivator. It was because of this that the Tian family was able to retreat unscathed from the alchemist’s inheritance site.

The deaths of those outside were met with some sighs and regrets from the townspeople, but soon, the news of the new Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Tian family caught everyone’s attention. In such a world where the strong prey on the weak, people naturally admire power. They were all drawn to the idea of the mighty Foundation Establishment cultivator, and it was said that she was also the Tian family head’s daughter. Just her age alone surpassed the ancestors of the other two families, making her seem even more promising and full of potential.
