Chapter 51

Becoming a consecrator of the Huang family seemed like a good choice.

Cultivation itself was an extremely costly affair, especially after reaching the Divine Realm. To maintain the rapid growth of one's strength, a large amount of resources was unavoidable.

This was why most cultivators had sects to rely on. Usually, only a cultivation sect could support such a huge expenditure.

As a possessor of the Mighty Empyrean Bone, Gu Chen could tell how astonishing the resources he needed were when he was in the Physical Body Realm. Now that he had left the sect and become a rogue cultivator, resources had become an urgent problem.

Besides, he needed a new identity to hide himself.

This Huang family seemed to be quite powerful. It would be helpful for him to gather information in an unfamiliar place.

"I'll consider it."

Gu Chen did not refuse directly.

Huang Fei was overjoyed and quickly took out a bottle of medicinal pills.

"This is a very important matter. Of course, Senior needs to consider it carefully. This is a Yellow Grade medicinal pill, the Golden Embryo Pill. Consider it a gift for you in advance. "

Gu Chen accepted the Golden Embryo Pill, his heart filled with joy.

On the Kunlun Continent, medicinal pills could be divided into five grades: Mortal, Yellow, Profound, Earth, and Heaven. They corresponded to the physical body, Divine Ability, Nirvana, Longevity, and Celestial Being realms. (Weapons, materials, and so on.)

Mortal Grade medicinal pills were only effective for the physical body realm. For example, the Qi and Blood Pill and Fierce Tiger Pill that Gu Chen had taken were both Mortal Grade medicinal pills.

Cultivators tempered their bodies in the physical body realm, and from the Divine Ability realm onwards, elemental energy cultivation became the most important.

The stronger one's elemental energy cultivation, the more powerful the Divine Ability and Dharma Spells.

Mortal Grade medicinal pills mainly tempered the body, while Yellow Grade and above medicinal pills focused on increasing elemental energy.

This Golden Embryo Pill was one of the better Yellow Grade medicinal pills. It was probably a Medial Grade Yellow Grade medicinal pill, and was very useful for Gu Chen.

Gu Chen accepted it without hesitation. It seemed that Huang Fei was sincere.

Seeing that Gu Chen accepted it, Huang Fei was finally relieved.

That bottle of Golden Embryo Pill was originally a reward for Taoist Lin. Since Gu Chen had saved them, it was not a big deal to give it to him.

Furthermore, she was afraid that Gu Chen was the kind of cultivator who would kill and rob others. After all, there were many people like that in Baijing Prefecture.

Not only did he gain a favorable impression of the Huang Clan by giving it to him first, but it also brought a potential worshipper to the Huang Clan. This was killing two birds with one stone.

Both parties were very satisfied. Huang Fei hurriedly helped Liu Yi and Liu Er heal their injuries. Gu Chen sat by the side and cultivated while observing the three of them.

Two hours later, the two bodyguards' injuries were much better. As agreed, Gu Chen and the white ape left the taboo forest.

…

Because it was bordered by the Central Plains Empire, the Eastern Wastelands, and the Southern Mountains, Baijing Prefecture was a place where all sorts of people gathered. It was difficult for the major forces of the continent to completely infiltrate it. It was a famous no-man 's-land.

In this prefecture that was ten times the size of Feng Lin Manor, there were many small powers and cities of all shapes and sizes scattered all over the place.

The Ravenous Wolf City was a medium-sized city in Baijing Prefecture, and the Huang Family was once the most powerful force in the Ravenous Wolf City.

This was what Gu Chen had heard from Huang Fei when they were in the carriage heading to the Ravenous Wolf City.

Based on his previous understanding of Baijing Prefecture, Gu Chen judged that it was a good place to live in seclusion.

Because it was a no-man 's-land, many criminals who had offended people in the Central Plains Empire, the Southern Mountains, or the Eastern Wastelands liked to escape to this place.

After a long time, the evil forces in this place joined forces and did not allow the major forces to intervene legitimately. Thus, order was always in chaos.

In a place like this, there were people of dubious identities everywhere. Even if the Underworld God Palace wanted to investigate him, they would be powerless.

Baijing Prefecture had three characteristics: chaos, black market, and fight if one was disobedient.

Gu Chen already understood the chaos. As for the black market, it was said that because this place was located at the throat of the three major regions, trade was especially developed.

In particular, some treasures that could not see the light of day were especially popular in the black market.

As for the third, fight if one was disobedient, it referred to the law of the jungle, where the strong preyed on the weak. This was a product of chaos.

In Baijing Prefecture, kindness was out of the question. Only killing and viciousness could win respect.

Gu Chen closed his eyes along the way. As he listened to Huang Fei's description of Baijing Prefecture, he had a rough idea of the place.

"Senior Chen, we've arrived at the Ravenous Wolf City."

After a bumpy journey, the Ravenous Wolf City was finally within reach. Huang Fei said excitedly.

Chen Gu was the pseudonym Gu Chen had given himself.

Hearing that they had arrived at the city, Gu Chen only nodded slightly.

Huang Fei was used to it. Along the way, she had more or less understood Gu Chen's temperament.

Although he looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, she had a deep impression of his temperament and shrewdness. Moreover, he was cold and taciturn.

Such a person must have a story that no one knew about.

Baijing Prefecture was full of people with stories like this. Huang Fei had no interest in finding out.

After entering the Ravenous Wolf City, the two alighted from the carriage. Liu Yi and Liu Er returned to the Huang Residence ahead of time to report.

Huang Fei accompanied Gu Chen as they walked unhurriedly through the city. Feeling the crowds and the loud cries of the vendors, Gu Chen's expression was one of caution.

He had already observed along the way. The Underworld God Palace's bounty did not exist.

Moreover, this was the chaotic Baijing Prefecture. His appearance had changed a little over a month ago. It was extremely difficult for the people of the Underworld God Palace to recognize him.

He was basically out of danger, but the caution he had developed during this period made him extremely sensitive to everything around him.

Compared to him, White Ape never knew how to spell the word "caution."

This was the monkey's first time in a human city. It looked around and touched everything. When it came across a tanghulu seller, it even snatched a few skewers for a taste.

Fortunately, Huang Fei followed behind it and gave money everywhere. Fortunately, no one came looking for trouble.

Before long, they arrived at the Huang Residence.

A large group of people gathered at the entrance. It seemed that all the elders of the Huang Family had arrived. When they saw Huang Fei, they turned to look at Gu Chen. Many of their faces darkened.

"Fei 'er, you finally know that you're back. I've heard about it from the Liu brothers. I told you long ago that Lin is unreliable, but you still went to him for help!"

"If something happens to you, where will our Huang Family put our face?"

The middle-aged man in the lead said with a cold expression.

He clearly already knew that Huang Fei had almost been gang-raped by Taoist Master Lin and his gang. However, compared to her safety, he seemed to care more about his reputation.

"That's right, Xiao Fei. Do you think that the Ghastly Ruins is a place that just anyone can enter? Only you are naive enough to believe that Lin can help you. "

Another middle-aged man mocked.

Huang Fei's joy at returning home immediately disappeared when she saw the two men.

"First Uncle, Second Uncle, you think that it's useless, but have you ever done anything? You're just sitting around in the Huang Residence, waiting to die. You're not even willing to try. "

Huang Fei retorted sharply with a wave of her hand. "I can't be bothered to waste my breath on you. Let's talk inside. I'm sure you already know that I've invited High Official Chen back from outside."
