Chapter 145 Planning a Breakthrough

  "Your master's prestige is mighty and his every move could potentially wipe us out, I have to be on guard!" Guo Fei said with a faint smile.

  "Young man, that space of yours is quite strange. After I entered, the consumed yuanqi can be quickly replenished. What kind of place is it?" Miao Yu spoke up for the first time, unexpectedly asking such a question.

  "Elder brother asked, I don't dare not answer, but I myself also don't know, really sorry!" Guo Fei said sincerely.

  "You young man are quite sincere, not like a demonic cultivator. As someone who has been through it, I warn you, never fall into the demonic path. Once you enter, it's hard to turn back." Miao Yu said calmly.

  "Why does everyone say I'm a demonic cultivator whenever they see me? Does Senior have a deep grudge against the demonic clan?" Guo Fei's face sank, and he said with some embarrassment.

  "Because of your physical constitution, this is an excellent physique for cultivating demons. With a golden body and a dark body, the demonic path will definitely try every means to persuade you to join them. The decline of the demon clan is precisely because it's hard to find suitable candidates, so they won't easily give up on you now that they've found you. As for whether the demon clan is good or evil, I've only read about it in books and it shouldn't be unfounded. Their cultivation methods are quite unorthodox."

  It is said that the Ling tribe led the human army and the demon clan to fight a great war in the north, and the last battle was fought in the Wan Ku Mountains. From then on, the demon clan disappeared without a trace." Miao Yu said sincerely.

  "Senior, if you don't take action against us, I think that since you've reminded me, I can loosen your bonds and make you more comfortable. Until the day I leave Beiyuan, I'll restore your freedom. I haven't provoked anyone, yet I'm being hunted down with no way to escape, so I have no choice but to resist. If I've offended you, please forgive me." Guo Fei said with a bow.

  "Haha, I was born and died for the Tang Empire, but I never expected them to treat me like this. One million spirit stones and they sold me out, it's truly laughable. In the past, I earned them tens of millions of spirit stones. If that's how they're going to treat me, why should I continue to serve them? You and I have no grudges or grievances, this is all my own doing," Miao Yu said with a bitter smile.

  "Seniors are so just and righteous, it really moves me! I thought I was helpless and bullied by others, with no place to seek justice, this world is so unfair!" Guo Fei waved his hand at the ghost soldiers, letting them untie their ropes.

  "Thank you. I don't know what your plans are for the future." Miao Yu looked at Guo Fei and asked warmly.

  "The road stretches far and wide, I will search up and down. Forced to such a sorry state, can only think of ways to leave Beiyuan." Guo Fei looked up at the dark space with a hint of desolation.

  "Yes, I've offended the Ling tribe's Jiang family, so I can only leave Beiyuan. I've also lost confidence in the Tang Empire and don't want to stay in Beiyuan anymore. Why don't we leave together and go to Zhongzhou? Zhongzhou is the largest state on the continent, with many powerful cultivators, humans, and demons living together. I've long wanted to travel there and study the Taoist arts to improve my cultivation. I've been stuck here for many years now. You can also temporarily avoid the Jiang family's wrath and settle down in Zhongzhou." Miao Yu said sincerely.

  "That's great, thank you, I really didn't know the way. Fortunately, someone guided me, and now I'm at ease. You can rest well here, if there's anything you need, just tell Xiaoyue." Guo Fei smiled and bowed to Miao Yu before leaving the cave.

  "Master, are you really going to let her go like this? Her cultivation is terrifyingly high! Once she makes a move, we'll be trapped in this underground cave with no place to hide!" Hu Xiaoyue said in a low voice.

  "Don't worry, because in the cave, she didn't dare to make a move, and I observed that this person is not what you think. Her jade staff should not be given to her yet, without it, she has not cultivated her five-element spiritual body, and the yuan energy inside her is not enough to pose a threat. Moreover, I have an ace up my sleeve, so I'm not afraid of her. Just let Jin Ying pay attention in secret, and everything will be fine." Guo Fei smiled lightly, having previously forced Miao Yu to agree, he had put her into the soldier symbol space, and after letting her out, Guo Fei did not withdraw the soldier energy from inside her body, so as long as she made any unusual move, the soldier energy inside would be enough to severely injure her, therefore Guo Fei was fearless.

  "Now, it's time to take the Yuanyuan Dan and break through the source boundary. As long as we reach the Yuanyuan realm, start cultivating the Golden Body, and we can quickly upgrade our military rank." Guo Fei thought for a moment, explained the situation to Hu Xiaoyue, and had her arrange for everyone to continue searching for a way out while he went into seclusion to cultivate.

  "Master, let the Giant Spirit Battle Team protect you!" Hu Xiaoyue listened and immediately fell into thought.

  "Don't bother, let them find their own way out, this space is not big, are there any enemies, safety!"

  "Master, protecting the law is important, finding the way is secondary! Listen to me." Hu Xiaoyue said in a gentle voice.

  "Hmm!" Guo Fei wasn't that kind of stubborn person. In his heart, the loyalty of the ghost soldiers came first, and second was Hu Xiaoyue. For safety's sake, Guo Fei thought what Hu Xiaoyue said made sense - if he lost his life, everything would be for nothing.

  Hu Xiaoyue personally chose a secluded cave for Guo Fei to retreat and cultivate in. Inside the cave, Hu Xiaoyue arranged a large number of Golden Spirit Stones, making the entire cave shine with golden light and filled with golden elemental energy. In the center of the cave, she also set up a bed for Guo Fei to sit and meditate on. Ghost soldiers guarded the cave day and night. Moreover, Hu Xiaoyue instructed the ghost soldiers that no one except herself was allowed to approach the cave.

  "Master, Tang Yi wants to see you!" On this day, Guo Fei carefully examined various books about cultivating the origin realm in the cave, preparing for taking the Bieyuan Dan and impacting the origin realm. Hu Xiaoyue came forward to report.

  "Please come in!" Guo Fei nodded and let Hu Xiaoyue lead her in.

  "Thank you for releasing my master, I have nothing to repay. During the Tang Empire, I memorized the three volumes of my family's 'Tianyi Shenjing' which can help people cultivate to the state of enlightenment. I am willing to write it down." Tang Yi said softly.

  "Ah!" Guo Fei's expression changed, The Tianyi Kidney Scripture was something Guo Fei had naturally heard of. It was the highest cultivation method for humans to cultivate water attributes and was a secret that the Tang Empire did not pass on. In his own military division, the only thing holding back his cultivation advancement was his physical quality, and the only way to improve his physical quality was to advance his cultivation.

  This "Tianyi Kidney Classic" is the supreme Taoist scripture for water-attribute cultivators to improve their cultivation, and Guo Feiyan cannot help but want it. Moreover, as a water-attribute cultivator, Liang Tiejun is stuck at the Great Perfection Realm of Qi Refining, and needs this classic to advance to the Vessel Realm and increase his physical strength.

  "Oh, thank you so much. Tang Yu, if you feel wronged by staying with me, after we arrive at Zhongzhou, you can leave with your master. I don't want to force anyone against their will." Guo Fei said calmly.

  Tang Yi's face lit up with joy, and she nodded at Guo Fei before retreating.

  "The master really intends to let her go!" Hu Xiaoyue said in a low voice after watching Tang Yi leave.

  "Of course, if he is disloyal, what's the point of keeping him!" Guo Fei said in a deep voice.

  Soldiers must be of one mind with their general if they are to achieve unmatched combat effectiveness. This is the insight that Guo Fei gained from his experience as a soldier in Hei Wa, and recruiting soldiers requires having its own principles.

  "What happened to Cold Blade?" Guo Fei had kept Cold Blade with him since he received it and only took it out after entering this place.

  "He's very disciplined. I arranged for him to find his way, he's very diligent and responsible, apart from that, he's been practicing hard all the time! He never speaks!" Hu Xiaoyue said in a low voice.

  "Oh, let her read books and take Pei Yuan Dan to improve her cultivation." Guo Fei waved his hand lightly, letting Hu Xiao Yue leave.
