“What?” What did Gu Lingzhi mean?

Gu Lingzhi did not explain herself but instead directly sealed his spiritual energy and threw him into the Inheritance Space. There were many kids from the Spirit Tribe. She believed that they would teach him a good lesson.

“Will this really work?” Seeing her throw Hunting Cat into the Inheritance Space, Qin Xinran tilted her head and asked.

Gu Lingzhi laughed lightly, “He is not stupid, it is just that it is difficult to change what he has believed in for so long. His condition now is best for brainwashing. For the beliefs that he has gone by for so long, the negative emotions that he would feel when his beliefs crumble will be stronger than his animosity towards us.”

If not for Zhuo Rong, who happened to bring up Hunting Cat and told them not to be too harsh on him when they seek their revenge and create unnecessary trouble, they would not have known that the famous Hunting Cat in all of Juluan City was the son of the Chief Imperial Bodyguard of the Deity King. In the past years, the reason why he kept on catching the wanted criminals and maintaining the peace of the Realm of the Gods was all because he wanted to become an Imperial Guard for the Deity King.

When Gu Lingzhi heard this, she immediately thought of how they could get near to Pan Luo. When she started questioning Hunting Cat, she found out several interesting things.

This cold hunter was still a passionate youth and hated evil. He had never killed an innocent person and anyone who knew him would always praise him. Zhuo Rong was no exception.

What a joke that a hypocrite like Pan Luo could actually have such a worshipper. With this information, they were resolved to use Hunting Cat to their advantage in order to get closer to Pan Luo.

It was just that they were unlucky and before they could think of how to initiate meeting Hunting Cat, he had come up to find them.

For the time being, they were going to put off changing Hunting Cat’s impression of them. On the other hand, the poster that they had advertised in the Feixing Pavilion has been effective.

Within a week of them posting their poster, there were ten over Ascension Members that found them. Gu Lingzhi had simultaneously slowly let out the people in her Inheritance Space. They ranged from Martial Students to Demigods and they all pretended to arrive after seeing their poster in the Feixing Pavilion.

At the same time, several nearby residents had heard of them taking in disciples and asked all their children who had Spiritual Roots but had yet to pledge their loyalty to any clan to join the Gui Yuan Clan. As of now, the Gui Yuan Clan resembled and functioned like an actual clan. Slowly, in this desolate region near the Thousand Mountains Range, the Gui Yuan Clan slowly became known.

Although the Gui Yuan Clan had not been established for a long period, the number of True Gods in it was equivalent to an old third-rated clan that has been established for years. Those who heard about their situation were all pretty curious as to how the Gui Yuan Clan which was just a small clan managed to get so many True Gods in such a short period of time.

It was only after they heard about Zhuo Rong’s involvement behind the scenes of the Gui Yuan Clan that they got rid of all suspicions.

With the support of the second biggest conglomerate in the entire Realm of the Gods, it was not surprising that they progressed so quickly.

At the same time, Zhuo Rong, who was seen as Gui Yuan Clan’s backing, was facing other problems.

“The Qionghua Clan and Feihong Clan have rejected continuing to work with us?” Zhuo Rong’s eyebrows knitted together as he knocked on the table top.

“Mmhm.” Lu Gang tilted his head downwards as he did not dare to look at Zhuo Rong’s face, “Elder Zhu and Elder Li who are in charge of negotiations said that currently their disciples are not making a lot of Spiritual Medicine or Weapons and can’t provide us with any products. They asked us to look for someone else.”

“They are not making much Spiritual Medicine or Spiritual Weapons?” Zhuo Rong sneered. Did these two clans think that his scouts that were spread all over the Realm of the Gods were all dead?

In the past few days, the Tianbao Store, which was the biggest conglomerate in the Realm of the Gods, had bought a lot of Spiritual Medicine and Spiritual Weapons from these two clans. These two clans still told them that they did not have enough resources - anyone could guess what was going on. Zhuo Rong’s expression immediately changed. Eventually, he gritted his teeth and swiped his hand, “Do they really think that my Yinyang Store wouldn’t be able to operate without them? Forget it if they don’t want to work together. It is not only their two clans that know how to make Spiritual Medicine and Weapons!”

“But...” Lu Gang held back.

It was true that there was more than just the Qionghua Clan and Feihong Clan that could make Spiritual Medicine and Weapons, but they were the most famous. It was not just an empty title that they were the top Clans specializing in Alchemy and Weapon Forging in the Realm of the Gods.

“No buts.” Zhuo Rong spoke slowly, “Since they said something like that, they won’t continue working with us anymore. There is no point talking to them.”

Lu Gang could not say anything more and left the room with a bitter look. He prepared to break off the agreement with the Qionghua Clan and Feihong Clan. Thereafter, he had to choose the next best people in the Realm of the Gods that cultivated medicine and forged weapons to collaborate with.

After all, the Yinyang business had stores all over the Realm of the Gods and could not stop distributing goods.

With a bitter look, he had just turned the corner when he bumped into Zhuo Haotian. Seeing the unhappy look on Lu Gang’s face, Zhuo Haotian asked him what was going on. When he heard that the Qionghua Clan and Feihong Clan who had always been doing business with the Zhuo Family had actually rejected continuing their partnerships, he stomped his feet unhappily, “Do they really think our Zhuo Family is so easy to step over? You don’t have to find new business partners, I already have someone in mind.”

“Someone in mind?” Lu Gang was curious, “Who?”

“The Gui Yuan Clan.” With these three words, Zhuo Haotian made his way towards Zhuo Rong in anger.

In the past, the Spirit Tribe was renowned for their Alchemy techniques and was the leading standard for quality.

When Zhuo Rong went up to the Gui Yuan Clan to ask for a collaboration for them to produce one-third of the Spiritual Medicine and Spiritual Weapons for the Yinyang business, Gu Lingzhi agreed without another word.

The Gui Yuan Clan had just been established and they needed god stones desperately. The bag of god stones that Zhuo Rong had given them initially was about to be depleted. They also could not simply ask Zhuo Rong for more without doing anything back. Hence, this collaboration was mutually beneficial.

When some people waited to see Zhuo Rong become a joke after hearing that the Qionghua Clan and the Feihong Clan had stopped producing Spiritual Medicine and Weapons to the Yinyang business, they realised that Zhuo Rong had a plan. Zhuo Rong had managed to obtain a batch of Spiritual Medicine and Weapons from somewhere and be it quality or performance, it was not lacking in either way.

A few people had recognised the weird-looking but surprisingly useful Spiritual Weapons. They were even more surprised to realise that it was made by the same person that produced the unique weapon that appeared in the Feixing Pavilion before.

Since when did such an expert Weapon Forger appear in the Realm of the Gods? How did Zhuo Rong manage to get them? How did no one have heard of them?

After investigating further, everyone found the source. They realise that the items that Zhuo Rong was getting came from a small clan - the Gui Yuan Clan.

Although there were few people from that clan, they were not any worse off than any old third-rated clan. There were numerous Weapon Forgers and Alchemists in there.

They were definitely a dark horse that appeared in the Realm of the Gods. There were a few rumors that even said that in a few years, the Gui Yuan Clan would be the main clan in the Realm of the Gods.

In a flash, everyone’s attention was on the Gui Yuan Clan.

With so much attention on them, Gu Lingzhi was not at all worried that people would link the Gui Yuan Clan to the Tianyuan Continent. After all, no one would be so stupid and bring so much attention to themselves when they were wanted.

Things were also as Gu Lingzhi expected. Perhaps at the start, there were a few that questioned the origins of the Gui Yuan Clan, but eventually they denied the possibility by themselves.

It was because the Gui Yuan Clan was so open and they did not seem to be hiding anything. If it was really started by Ascension Members from the Tianyuan Continent, how would they dare to be so open?

As the Gui Yuan Clan became more and more famous, Ascension Members all over the Realm of the Gods also found their way to the clan. The leader and vice-leader’s names of the Gui Yuan Clan told them that no matter what others thought, the Gui Yuan Clan was definitely set up by Ascension Members.

In the top clan of the Realm of Gods, the Tianyan Clan...

Seeing his servant deliver news regarding the Gui Yuan Clan, a handsome looking man smiled. The person across him stared dreamily at him as he looked like flowers that bloomed after the winter snow melted. Staring blankly, “Junior, you look really handsome when you smile!”

The man hesitated and stopped smiling, returning to his calm and cold state, causing the woman across him to internally stomp her feet, “Junior, can’t you give me a little more emotions? After all, I am your savior!”

The man’s cold expression stiffened, “Sorry, I am used to it.”

“Forget it.” The woman waved her hand, “It was worth it seeing you smile. But what’s so special about the Gui Yuan Clan? Why are you so concerned about them?”

The man did not reply to the woman but instead stroked the letter in his hand gently as if it was a letter from his lover. It caused a small pain to go through the woman’s eyes.

On the other hand, the true leader of Gui Yuan Clan, Gu Lingzhi had just made a good batch of Spiritual Medicine and was about to get someone to send it to Zhuo Rong. She was going to bring Rong Yuan and Tianfeng Jin into the Thousand Mountains Range once again.

As the Gui Yuan Clan more or less became official, the people inside her Inheritance Space had been let out and placed in different areas of the clan according to their interests. They each took charge of their duties and did not need any supervision.

The Thousand Mountains Range was a good place to train. Gu Lingzhi had only gone there for a year and she already felt a big improvement in her cultivation. Of course, the people that had the greatest improvement were the Martial Sages and Demigods that she had brought in for experience. Almost every day, they would experience an astounding change in their bodies. It was no wonder that the Thousand Mountains Range were rumored to be terrifying and very little people would go in to try their luck.

In the fifth month that Gu Lingzhi entered the Thousand Mountains Range, there was a change in her Inheritance Space. Gu Lingzhi raised her brows as she sensed the change in it. Delight shone on her face as she greeted everyone and went into the Inheritance Space.

In the corner of the space, Hunting Cat’s eyes were red as he stood still. His soul seemed to be detached from his body as his eyes could not focus. When he sensed Gu Lingzhi near him, he asked in a raspy voice, “Is what they said...true?”
