"Damn it, I told you to drive an off-road vehicle, yet you insisted on a sports car. Now you know what pain feels like, huh?"
"Co on, you didn't tell the road to your father-in-law's place was this rough. If I'd known, I wouldn't have driven my Sun God, not even for a Wuling Hongguang!"
"It's my first ti here too. How was I supposed to know? Otherwise, I'd have told you to fly a helicopter!"
Fang Jueyu, Wang Cong, and Chen nghan trudged along the winding mountain path. They'd abandoned Fang Jueyu's modified Sun God back along the road.
Fang Jueyu had assud the Chen family, like the Bai Family, would be in the middle of nowhere, but he expected the road there to be a bit smoother.
However, when Chen nghan ca to pick them up, it turned out there was a mountain behind her with an elevation of over two or three thousand ters, and the Chen family was nestled in a valley of that mountain. Even an off-road vehicle might struggle on this path, let alone a sports car.
"Hahaha, I don't mind. My martial arts protect . This mountain path feels like a flat surface to . It's you who'll be half dead by the ti we get there, right?" Fang Jueyu mocked.
"Hmph! When we get back, I'm crashing at your place for three to five days, eating and drinking for free every day to make up for the calories I've burned today!"
"Alright, alright, I've already helped you with your wife's issues this ti. Don't take advantage and act all coy. Let's get moving. You've been resting for twenty minutes. If we keep wasting ti, the sun will set!"
"Hmph! Damn you!" Wang Cong grumbled as he stood up and continued toward the valley where the Chen family was located.
"Looks like it's ti to modify the car again. Maybe install an anti-gravity system? Or go all out with a Solar Furnace? Would it be too shocking?" Fang Jueyu pondered.
The car could only drive on the ground, which was sotis quite inconvenient.
"Host, as long as we have sufficient materials, I can apply a layer of invisible material for you. Then you won't have to worry about anyone discovering the anti-gravity system or the Solar Furnace!"
"Alright, let's do that. I'll get to modifying it when we get back!" Fang Jueyu snapped his fingers.
"Hey, stop moving like a turtle. Let's hurry, or your father-in-law's birthday will be over!" Fang Jueyu grabbed Wang Cong by the collar and, light as a feather, moved forward.
"Hehehe, these two clowns!" Chen nghan watched them bicker the whole way. Even though they insulted each other and imagined being each other's dads, male friendship seed oddly quirky; she could feel that they truly got along.
She chuckled, "Let them be. Talking nonsense isn't a cri!"
Chen nghan leaped lightly, skillfully traversing the mountains...
With Fang Jueyu as their "transportation," their speed significantly increased, and they soon spotted the Chen family situated in the valley below.
This was indeed a hidden family. The Chen family's buildings lay in the center of the valley, surrounded by fields and a clear stream, creating a self-sufficient ecosystem. The Chen family's property almost resembled a small town.
"Hey? Where's your girlfriend?"
"You're running like your life depends on it; she's long lost in the dust!" Wang Cong yelled.
About ten minutes later, Chen nghan finally caught up, out of breath. She had just barely managed to keep up with Fang Jueyu at first, but later her stamina couldn't keep pace.
"Here, catch!" Fang Jueyu tossed a Qi Gathering Pill to her!
Chen nghan deftly caught the pill and tucked it into her pocket. This type of Qi Gathering Pill could accelerate the absorption of Cosmic Source Power by the body, thus speeding up the growth of Inner Strength.
In those Ancient Martial Families, such pills were treasures. Even the most privileged might not get one or two a month. Only soone like Fang Jueyu could use them like regular energy supplents.
"Hey, Chen nghan, you don't need to be so frugal. These things aren't worth much, only costing a few thousand bucks each. Don't hide it!"
Chen nghan blushed, thinking, you think these pills are easy for us to co by?
Fang Jueyu threw another one over, "Just eat it. My pills are way better than those junk ones."
"nghan, just take it. This bastard doesn't lack this stuff!" Wang Cong chid in.
Only then did Chen nghan reluctantly swallow the pill.
The pill's energy surged through her limbs instantly, replenishing all the Inner Strength she had consud, and astonishingly, she felt her Inner Strength flowing within her, growing by the minute.
Now, Chen nghan seed to understand why Fang Jueyu had such achievents at a young age. With enough pills, using them like als and water daily, his growth speed without training could surpass their ticulous efforts.
"Hehehe, now that's more like it!" Fang Jueyu laughed, "These aren't expensive. I can make a hundred or two in an hour using a rice cooker. At my place, we feed these to the dogs!"
A scene from a few days ago flashed in Chen nghan's mind. It seed Fang Jueyu's black dog, Er Gouzi, had a bowl filled with things that didn't look like regular dog food—it turned out those were the pills martial artists would fight over!
"Seems like soone's coming!" At this mont, Fang Jueyu heard a commotion from the direction they had traveled.
Looking over, he saw a group of people in identical white robes moving through the trees. Each had a longsword on their back, and the sa symbol was embroidered on their clothing's chest!
"Hmm? That's the Gucang Sword Sect?" Fang Jueyu imdiately recognized them because he saw Elder Gu Dong, whom he had beaten up last ti.
His injuries seed fully healed; he even looked quite energetic now.
"Yes, my father invited many families and sects. Our family has so prestige, so the leaders of those sects and families should all be attending today."
"Oh? So that ans the Sect Leader of the Gucang Sword Sect should also be here today?" Fang Jueyu flashed a mischievous smile. "Great! Last ti, they smashed my door and didn't even pay for the ntal damages. I'll just collect everything this ti!"
"Hey! Fang Jueyu, be careful; their Sect Leader is an Innate Martial Artist. Don't ss around!" Chen nghan warned.
But a cold, expressionless face flashed before her eyes, and she let out a wry smile. With a Mythical Realm powerhouse protecting him, what did the Gucang Sword Sect count for?
"Soone's coming, on guard!" The disciple at the front of the Gucang Sword Sect halted, alertly watching ahead.
A mont later, a young man, appearing in his early twenties, stood before them with a look of disdain. Yet he exuded the presence of a fierce beast.
"Damn you, Gu Dong, where are you? Pay up!"
