Chapter 64: Parting and Returning to Mount Tai

  Gu carried a big string of lanterns.

  All sorts of shapes, including phoenix-shaped, lotus leaf-shaped, tangerine-shaped, watermelon-shaped, dragon-shaped, pagoda-shaped, and so on.

  The lights shine brightly, attracting attention.

  The people around were all discussing Gu Chao, this Gu Chao was not only good at martial arts but also literary.

  Gu Chao looked at Gu Momo beside him and found that Gu Momo was secretly sizing up the phoenix lantern in his hand. Gu Chao understood why Gu Momo had come to guess lantern riddles, it turned out that she had taken a fancy to this phoenix lantern. Looking again at the phoenix lantern in his hand, it was quite small and exquisitely made. The candle was placed inside the lantern, and through some modifications to its shape, it gave the feeling that the entire body of the phoenix was burning. What a beautiful burning phoenix!

  Gu Chao also found that Gu Mo had noticed him and immediately turned his head away, deliberately not looking in his direction, this proud little girl.

  Gu Chaohaha smiled and walked over, handing the phoenix lantern to Gu Momo: "Here, it's yours."

  Gu's small face immediately flashed with surprise, but the surprise quickly disappeared: "Why would I want your lantern?"

  This is really a stubborn little girl, obviously liking it very much in her heart, but she doesn't admit it. Gu Chao raised the lantern in his hand: "It's tiring to hold so many lanterns in my hands, can you help me carry some of them?"

  Gu Momo nodded after hearing this: "Then I'll help you carry it." She got the Phoenix Lantern and was overjoyed, seemingly unable to contain her excitement. However, she suddenly stopped in her tracks: "I'm leaving." She disappeared quickly, as if afraid that others would see through her insincere words.

  Alas, this little girl.

  Gu shrugged, but there was nothing she could do about it - after all, she was her own sister, and a biological one at that.

  Guchao set off with a big pile of lanterns, playing along the way. This kind of lantern festival was also held on Earth in the past, but it didn't have the exotic atmosphere of this place. However, here it has a feeling of ancient China, so it feels especially good. Along the way, Guchao also bought some fragrant and delicious rolled pancakes, which were extremely tasty, but he didn't know what they were made of.

  At this time, dozens of red silk balls were also thrown onto Gu Chao's body.

  This is the tradition of this world, different from the Lantern Festival in the previous life.

  In this world, unmarried women can go out to play the Lantern Festival with red balls, and if they like them, they will throw the red balls. If the man is willing, it becomes a good thing. Many girls threw embroidered balls at Gu Chao with a smile, and many people liked Gu Chao.

  This is the world.

  I have been living in this world for eight months now.

  Among the dazzling lights, Gu Chao raised his eyes to look at the sky, where the stars shone brightly.

  Suddenly, an ancient super felt a sense of drifting away.

  The Lantern Festival finally came to an end.

  Today is the sixteenth day of the first month, Gu Chao sat cross-legged in his own cauldron house, applying the last half bottle of the ten bottles of Inner Elixir he had bought to his body, starting to condense his inner energy. Gu Chao's current inner energy was at the sixth layer of the Post-Heavenly Realm, the Pulse Realm. After these days of cultivation, with the effect of the Primordial Qi and the three hundred taels of Inner Elixir, he had already cultivated to the peak of the sixth layer of the Post-Heavenly Realm.

  Now, after applying half a bottle of ointment on his body, he only felt his whole body burning with fever.

  The inner energy of the wood of Yuan Qi is also being continuously absorbed, and the surrounding heavenly Yuan Qi seems to be absorbed even faster.

  In the meridian of Daimai, the inner energy is increasingly full and piled up.

  Due to the effect of Lian Nei Gao and Yuan Qi's wood, there is a continuous flow of heavenly yuan qi transforming and entering, accumulating in this meridian. Finally, with a loud bang, the last critical point of this meridian burst open, and Gu Chao's internal force rapidly surged into the next meridian, which is the Chong Mai.

  Rushing pulse, originating from the cell center, going down to the back, starting from the Qi Street Department and running parallel with the Foot Shaoyin Meridian, beside the navel up to the chest, dispersing into the thoracic cavity, reaching the throat, encircling the mouth and lips.

  The inner energy has rushed into the meridian, which means that one's internal strength has already reached the standard of the seventh layer of the acquired realm.

  It's not easy, finally reached the standard of the seventh layer of the Post-Heaven Realm.

  Gu Chao returned home this time, participated in a family competition, and also improved his strength a lot. At least he practiced the Gale Knife Technique to the small success realm, and pushed his internal power to the seventh level of the acquired realm.

  On January 17th, by the seventeenth day, the New Year's atmosphere had dissipated a lot.

  And this day was also the day when the 16 family members of the Gu family left their homes.

  At home it's New Year's, after passing the year everyone has to cultivate themselves separately.

  At this time, the sixteen disciples of the Gu family, Gu Chao, Gu Mo, Gu Yu, Gu Ping, Gu Guang, Gu Yongfeng, Gu Ling, Gu Lang, Gu Qiaoqiao, Gu Qi and others, all stood in front of the Gu family's gate, each carrying a sword or knife, leading their horses, and gazing at each other.

  Gu Chao carried the long red copper knife on his back: "Everyone, goodbye."

  Gu Yu nodded and smiled: "In the future, we will cultivate in various sects, there is Yue Nu Jian Zong, Lu Shan Pai, Meng Shan Pai, Tai Shan Pai, Cang Shan Pai, Yan Zi Men, Ju Jing Men and so on. However, our hearts are all the same, we all want to become stronger, and work together to revive the ancient Gu family."

  "Good." All the old family members laughed.

  Yes, we are all members of one family. A family is not for internal strife, but for unity and moving forward together.

  Bid each other farewell, say a word of "mountains are high and waters are far", the sixteen people mounted their horses one by one, riding towards different directions, everyone went to different places.

  ……

  "Drive!"

  "Drive!"

  Gu Chao rode his horse, galloping all the way. He had been away from Gu's house for more than a day, and in front of him, the majestic shadow of Mount Tai Sect had already appeared. After staying at Tao Fang County Gu's house for about a month, he was finally going to return to Mount Tai Sect to continue his cultivation.

  Mount Tai, I'm back.

  Gu Chao arrived at the foot of Mount Tai, just as he was about to reveal his identity token. To enter Mount Tai, one must show their identity token. He noticed a chubby figure in front of him and exclaimed, "Isn't that Luo Tao?" Gu Chao immediately gave Luo Tao a bear hug. Luo Tao regained his composure and excitedly said, "Gu Chao, it's you!"

  Lu Tao burst out laughing: "This time I've really brought a lot of seafood, absolutely delicious, and even managed to get some rare deep-sea white fish fins." White fish fins were something Gu Chao had only heard Lu Tao mention before, supposedly much tastier than regular fish fins, but extremely scarce, found only in the depths of the ocean.

  "You two are one step ahead of me." A voice suddenly came, and Gao Ren flipped down from his horse and put the horse in the horse farm at the foot of Mount Tai. There is a free horse farm at the foot of Mount Tai to raise horses for all disciples of the Mount Tai sect, making it convenient for many disciples to travel.

  Gao Ren burst out laughing and hugged Gu Chao and Luo Tao together.

  One generation, three brothers.

  Three friends in a dormitory got together again after New Year's Day.

  After the three showed their identity jade cards, they entered the Tai Shan Sect and on the way to the new Xue Shan Villa in Zhong Xi Peak, Luo Tao talked about his experience during the New Year's time. He actually went to Dong Hai for a trip and stayed on the boat for more than ten days, practicing sea training. Gao Ren ran into the deep mountains and stayed there for a long time to practice, indeed, although it was said that the New Year is a holiday to go home and play, everyone was still practicing.

  On the road of martial arts, no one wants to be surpassed or pulled down by others.

  Gu Chao's gaze turned sharp.

  Others are nothing to worry about, but what about his greatest rival, Murong Ying? How much has she improved her strength?

  And what about the ten great masters among the outer door disciples? How far have they progressed?

  The second update is out, back to Mount Tai.
