When King Tota's subordinates heard their boss say this, they felt relieved.

"Brothers! Escape quickly!"

At a command, King Tota and his dozens of men all withdrew.

Ji Ziyue watched the people who were chasing them leave and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally left..."

Ji Ziyue closed her eyes slightly, and a feeling of fatigue immediately surged into her heart.

"Miss Ziyue, are you okay?"

The Ji family warrior who was leading the way came forward and asked with concern.

"fine……"

Ji Ziyue replied.

"Oh, by the way, Patriarch Ji Hui is not far ahead, follow me."

The leading Ji family warrior pointed to the rear and said.

"Ah."

Ji Ziyue responded: "Gu Sheng, come with us."

"Is this...is this appropriate?"

Gu Sheng was a little hesitant.

Ji Ziyue just said clearly that the Ji family's Great Void Technique is the Ji family's secret technique.

Now I am practicing this method for some special reasons, which is unjustifiable in any way.

Seeing that Gu Sheng was a little hesitant, Ji Ziyue stepped forward and asked, "Why are you standing there? Let's go?"

"Um... Ziyue, should I not go?"

Gu Sheng stood there with an awkward smile on his face.

"What? Aren't you afraid that the Pagoda King will cause trouble for you again?"

Ji Ziyue frowned slightly, somewhat confused about Gu Sheng's decision.

"It's okay. I should... should be able to handle it."

Gu Sheng nodded and said.

"No, you must come with me today. If there is any problem with the ancestor, I will solve it. Don't worry."

Ji Ziyue was determined and walked up to Gu Sheng, grabbing his hand and preventing him from leaving.

The Ji family warriors standing by were stunned upon seeing this.

It is said that men and women should not touch each other, but the intimate state of the two people when they entered the venue really surprised them.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll go. Is it okay for me to go?"

Gu Sheng reluctantly pushed Ji Ziyue away to avoid other people gossiping.

"That's pretty much it."

Only then did Ji Ziyue smile with satisfaction.

Soon, the Ji family warriors took Ji Ziyue and Gu Sheng through several jungles and arrived at the residence of ancestor Ji Hui.

Along the way, Ji Ziyue seemed very happy.

But Gu Sheng felt a little uneasy.

Because Gu Sheng didn't want to meet the ancestor of the Ji family at all, but wanted to get rid of the current situation as soon as possible.

"Ancestor, Zi Yue is back."

The Ji family warrior reported respectfully.

The door slowly opened, and the figure of Patriarch Ji Hui appeared at the door.

Gu Sheng noticed that Ancestor Ji Hui was an old woman.

Her dress and temperament have a simple yet gorgeous feel, which shows that she must not have been an ordinary person when she was young.

She had sharp eyes and saw at a glance that Ji Ziyue looked a little embarrassed.

Then, the old ancestor frowned, concern welling up in his heart.

"Xiao Ziyue, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

Patriarch Ji Hui seemed very concerned.

But it’s also true that if the elders see their younger generations like this, they would be lying if they say they are not worried.

Ji Ziyue didn't care about her own embarrassment, she directly took Gu Sheng's hand and eagerly introduced him to Ji Hui: "Ancestor, this is Gu Sheng. If he hadn't helped me, I might not have been able to come back."

Elder Ji Hui's gaze swept back and forth between the two of them.

She saw the unusual relationship between the two. Their intimate actions and nervous expressions seemed to reveal a hint of love.

"Gu Sheng, is that so?"

Patriarch Ji Hui's voice was very calm.

"Yes."

Gu Sheng nodded.

"You saved Ziyue, I'm very grateful, please come in."

As the old ancestor spoke, he pulled Ji Ziyue over and walked inside with everyone else.

Coming to the living room, the old ancestor gently brushed off the dust on Ji Ziyue's body, muttering to himself.

"Xiao Ziyue, Xiao Ziyue, you really make me worry..."

"Ancestor, I'm fine. Look, I'm fine, aren't I?"

"You said you were fine, but I heard that you were missing a while ago, and I also heard that the Ji family was in trouble. How can I not be worried?"

"Ancestor, I'm sorry... I made you worry."

An old man and a young man were chattering in front of Gu Sheng.

Such a scene suddenly made Gu Sheng feel homesick.

"Go wash up and dress up."

The old ancestor said with a smile.

"Ah."

Ji Ziyue responded and said to Gu Sheng: "Gu Sheng, wait for me here first, I will be there soon."

"Well, you go."

Gu Sheng nodded.

After Ji Ziyue left, the old ancestor sent the others away.

"Gu Sheng, right?"

After the two of them sat down, the old ancestor asked Gu Sheng with the same smile.

"Yes."

Gu Sheng nodded again.

"I want to know, what is your family background?"

Suddenly, the old ancestor's voice changed.

That feeling made Gu Sheng very unhappy.

It was as if he owed her Ji family 2.58 million.

"Ancestor, I am not from a famous family in the Eastern Wasteland. I am just an independent cultivator."

Gu Sheng made up a random name.

Patriarch Ji Hui nodded slightly, as if he had guessed the result.

"Well, I basically know all about the famous families in the Eastern Wasteland. I'm just curious as to why Xiao Ziyue is with you."

The ancestor became serious.

Gu Sheng didn't say anything, but he was secretly muttering in his heart: "What on earth does your ancestor want to do?"

Seeing that Gu Sheng remained silent, the ancestor spoke again: "Gu Sheng, how did you practice the Great Void Technique?"

"Ziyue taught me."

Gu Sheng didn't dare to hide anything and told everything.

"Oh? Why?"

The ancestor asked.

"At that time, someone was chasing us. I had no choice but to use the Mother Energy of All Things to protect her body, and she used the Great Void Technique in exchange to escape the chase."

Gu Sheng replied.

"Oh... So that's it."

The old ancestor nodded gently, and then said: "The Great Void Technique is the unique secret technique of my Ji family. Outsiders are not allowed to practice it. I think you should understand what I mean."

Hearing this, Gu Sheng reacted immediately.

"Understood, understood. If you have anything to say, please speak up. I, Gu Sheng, will certainly obey."

Gu Sheng stood up and clasped his hands together.

"Well, young man, that's refreshing!"

The old ancestor nodded with satisfaction and said, "I ask you not to use the Great Void Technique, otherwise, I will not forgive you!"

Gu Sheng was really frightened by the harsh tone.

This power doesn't sound like it came from an old woman's mouth.

However, Gu Sheng didn't care about this at all.

"Okay, I promise!"

Gu Sheng nodded.

Seeing that Gu Sheng agreed so readily, the old ancestor's expression calmed down a little.

"But then again, my Ji family won't let you work in vain. Tell me, what do you want?"

The ancestor said calmly.

"Grandmaster, I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need any reward."

Gu Sheng smiled slightly and shook his head.

As a person who traveled through time from the 21st century, what could be so strange about this place?

The old ancestor raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't expect Gu Sheng to refuse so straightforwardly.

"Young man, you know that my Ji family never owes favors to anyone. Since you helped us, we naturally have to repay you."

"Forehead……"

Gu Sheng was silent for a moment.

He could clearly sense a hint of contempt in the old ancestor's words.

After a brief thought, Gu Sheng decided to make a request.

This request was not only to prove his own worth, but also to give the ancestor a "surprise".

"If the ancestor insists on giving it to me, then I have a request." Gu Sheng said slowly.

A hint of curiosity flashed in the old ancestor's eyes, and she nodded.

"tell me the story."

"I want the immortal secret book of the Bronze Immortal Palace."

Gu Sheng said in a calm voice.

"you……"

The old ancestor's expression suddenly became somewhat embarrassed.

She shook her head. "Young man, your request is too much."

"how?"

Gu Sheng asked with a smile.

"Everyone who has seen the Bronze Immortal Palace is basically dead. You are making things difficult for me by making this request."

The old ancestor smiled and said.

"Grandmaster, I am not being unreasonable. The reason I made this request is because I want to know whether there are immortals or not."

Gu Sheng said seriously.

"Alas... young people are still young people after all."

The old ancestor sighed, and then said: "Gu Sheng, you should be more practical."

Gu Sheng smiled slightly, knowing that his chance had come.

"Since the ancestor said so, then I will say it directly. What I want is the so-called 'Yuan'."

"'Meta'? You mean..."

There was a flash of surprise in the old ancestor's eyes.

She didn't expect Gu Sheng to make such a request.

"Yes, it is the 'Yuan' that can transform a person and even allow him to reach the path of immortality."

Gu Sheng replied.

The old ancestor pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay, I can promise you, but you have to know how powerful 'Yuan' is."

"I see."

Gu Sheng nodded.

The old ancestor looked at Gu Sheng's determined eyes and knew that this young man's determination would not change.

Moreover, compared to "Yuan", the secret book of becoming an immortal in the Bronze Immortal Palace is more difficult to obtain.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

After saying that, the old ancestor waved his hand and said, "Ji Ren, take him there."

"Yes!"

The servant named Ji Ren responded and said to Gu Sheng, "Please follow me."

"Ah."

Gu Sheng nodded and bowed deeply, "Thank you, ancestor."

Afterwards, Gu Sheng followed Ji Ren towards the back hall.

Although Ji Ren, who led the way, was a servant, he was not young considering his age.

According to seniority, Gu Sheng should at least call him uncle.

"Senior, where are we going?"

Gu Sheng asked as he followed Ji Ren.

"Go get the 'yuan' you requested."

Jiren replied calmly.

"Oh."

Gu Sheng responded and followed closely.

"Hello housekeeper."

"Hello, Butler Ji."

Gu Sheng, who was following behind Ji Ren, heard that the other servants were very respectful after seeing Ji Ren, and affectionately called him "steward".

In addition, the servants looked at Ji Ren with evasive eyes, as if they were afraid of something.

"Butler Ji? Are you the butler of the Ji family?"

Gu Sheng asked casually.

"good."

Ji Rendu did not respond either.

In this way, Ji Ren took Gu Sheng through the many courtyards of the Ji family and came to a seemingly ordinary wall.

Gu Sheng was a little puzzled and didn't understand why Ji Ren brought him here.

"Huhuhu..."

Suddenly, a powerful divine power emanated from Ji Ren.

He stretched out his palm and gently pushed against the wall.

Under the push of divine power, the wall slowly disappeared, revealing a hidden small door.

"what!"

Gu Sheng opened his eyes wide in surprise.

He didn't expect Ji Ren's strength to be so powerful that he could use his divine power to open the small door hidden under the wall.

This kind of skill is simply not attainable by ordinary practitioners unless they have practiced for thousands of years.

"This...isn't this amazing?"

Gu Sheng looked at Ji Ren in surprise.

"come in."

Ji Ren withdrew his divine power and said calmly.

Then he took the lead and walked into the small door.

Gu Sheng followed closely behind and entered through the small door.

In an instant, Gu Sheng's eyes were immediately attracted by the scene before him.

This is a huge secret room, with all kinds of rare treasures placed around it.

Agarwood chariot, wilderness beads, Hailing coral...

However, what attracted Gu Sheng's attention most were the three suspended light balls in the center of the secret room.

These light balls emit a soft glow, and they are exactly the "Yuan" that Gu Sheng is pursuing.

"There are actually three 'Yuan' here?"

There was a hint of trembling in Gu Sheng's voice.

He stepped forward and slightly summoned his divine power.

In an instant, these "elements" responded with powerful force.

"Yes."

Ji Ren nodded, "These 'Yuan' are accumulated by my Ji family over the generations, and each one is priceless."

Gu Sheng's eyes swept back and forth between the three "yuan".

He could feel that every "element" was unique.

One of them glows red, representing power.

The other is purple light, representing wisdom.

The last one emits golden light, representing Yuanli.

"You can choose one."

Ji Ren's voice interrupted Gu Sheng.

"call……"

Gu Sheng took a deep breath, slowly walked towards the three "Yuan", and observed them carefully.

Then, Gu Sheng closed his eyes and felt his body's desire for these "elements".

Finally, he opened his eyes and pointed at the golden "Yuan".

“I choose this.”

Gu Sheng's voice was firm and powerful.

Ji Ren glanced at the "Yuan" that Gu Sheng pointed to and nodded slightly.

"You have good vision. This 'Yuan' contains powerful vitality, which is suitable for your physique."

A smile appeared on Gu Sheng's face, "Thank you."

Then, Ji Ren took the "Yuan" and handed it to Gu Sheng.

"Keep it well."

Ji Ren said casually.

"These are all mine, so of course I have to keep them well. You can't go back on your word, can you?"

Gu Sheng said half-jokingly.

Ji Ren didn't reply, but just smiled and said, "Let's go, we should leave."

"Ah."

Gu Sheng nodded and followed Ji Ren out of the small door.

The moment he walked out of the small door, Gu Sheng suddenly felt that this golden "Yuan" was a little strange.

"Fizz!"

Waves of power seemed to be drilling into Gu Sheng's body.

Gu Sheng stood there in a daze, looking at the "Yuan" in his hand.

"What...what's going on?"

Gu Sheng asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"This 'element' sensed that there are parts of your body that need repair, so it is repairing your body for you."

Jiren explained expressionlessly.

"Ah? So good?"

Gu Sheng was surprised and felt the healing effect of "Yuan".

When he glanced at Ji Ren, he found that there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes. (End of this chapter)
