Ti passed.
Gu Qingfeng spent these days within the Gu Family, cultivating the Green Sun Skills. Every day
he refined the Great Sun Yang Qi to temper his body, and the breakthrough in the Green Sun Skills could truly be described as divine speed.
It took him less than ten days.
Gu Qingfeng achieved perfection in the First Level of the Green Sun Skills.
With the First Level perfected,
within Gu Qingfeng's qi and blood had erged a faint hint of scorching hot aura.
This sort of scorching aura was different from the Fierce Sun Palm Force carried by the Fiery Sun Divine Palm. Such an aura ca from the Great Sun Yang Qi, signifying a truly utmost staunch and yang energy.
However,
this hint of aura was too faint.
Far from being as robust as Gu Qingfeng's current qi and blood.
But Gu Qingfeng wasn't in a hurry, knowing that as the cultivation of the Green Sun Skills reached deeper levels, the benefits would naturally beco apparent.
At the sa ti,
during this period,
Gu Qingfeng also explored the mysteries of Refining Organ.
Tempering the Five Internal Organs
was a symbol of stepping into the limits of the human body.
To carry extraordinary power, one must possess a sufficiently strong physique.
Therefore,
it's only after reaching the Refining Organ Realm that one enters what is terd the Grandmaster Realm.
Regardless of whether it is an Innate Grandmaster or a Qi and Blood Grandmaster, they are considered to have broken through the limits of the human body.
Although Gu Qingfeng had never truly witnessed the abilities of Grandmaster-level powerhouses, after stepping into the Refining Organ Realm, it seed that he had gained so insight into a Grandmaster's might.
Just then,
ng Peng hurried over.
"Bowing before the Family Head!"
"What has happened?"
Gu Qingfeng saw the urgent expression on the other's face, his forehead slightly furrowed.
ng Peng said, "A ssage has co that there's a problem at Mingri Manor. Workers have been disappearing frequently these days, and today a body was found, revealing those workers had all been brutally murdered.
And from the looks of it, I'm afraid it wasn't the work of an ordinary character from the Martial World."
"Not the work of soone from the Martial World?"
Gu Qingfeng's eyes narrowed, then his expression grew colder.
"Why just now are you saying there's an issue over at Mingri Manor?"
"Please calm your anger, Family Head. At the beginning, we thought it was just so small problem that we could solve on our own. We dared not trouble the Family Head to intervene lightly.
But given the current situation, obviously, it's not sothing an ordinary martial artist could handle, so I specifically ca to report to the Family Head!"
Hearing the rebuke, ng Peng spoke hastily.
Gu Qingfeng wasn't truly angry but simply took the Evil Slayer Blade at his side.
"Today, you will carry the blade for ."
"To carry the blade for the Family Head is surely my honor!"
ng Peng's face showed a relieved smile.
Just as he said,
to carry the blade for Gu Qingfeng was an extrely honorable matter.
This ant that
his position in the other's heart had risen another step.
With such a strong figure presiding, the Gu Family was destined to grow. In no ti at all, they might beco one of the top noble families in Guangyang Prefecture.
With that,
the Gu Family was destined to be a place where powerhouses thronged.
ng Peng was very aware of his own abilities. With his talent, without other opportunities, breaking through the Blood Refining Realm would likely be his limit, and in ti, his status in the Gu Family would surely decline.
If he could firmly support Gu Qingfeng at such a ti, he might well have an opportunity to advance even further in the future.
The Martial World rumored
that Gu Qingfeng was a strong figure of the Marrow Cleansing Realm.
But in ng Peng's view, this person was probably not as simple as the rumors of the Martial World suggested.
Having followed Gu Qingfeng for many years, ng Peng increasingly understood how inscrutable his abilities were.
Mingri Manor.
This place had been abandoned for decades.
It was only when the Gu Family took over this place so ti ago that so signs of life began to reerge.
Mingri Manor was located outside of White Stone City, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with just one main road in and out-a good location that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Moreover, there was an ample water supply, and enough wasteland suitable for farming
crops.
Normally.
Such a place would never be abandoned for decades without anyone taking it over.
When Gu Qingfeng ca here, he was quite pleased with the geographical location of Mingri
Manor.
It had to be said.
As a future base for the Gu Family, it was indeed excellent.
At this mont.
ng Peng, who was following behind Gu Qingfeng, also opened his mouth to speak, "Mingri Manor covers more than 300 acres and is well-positioned geographically. It's just a pity that rumors in the Martial World suggest that this place is quite eerie and ominous, which is why it's been abandoned for so many years."
"Eerie and ominous? Then let see just what kind of thing is haunting this Mingri Manor!"
Gu Qingfeng gave a cold smile.
The mont he stepped into the territory of Mingri Manor, he indeed felt a faint chill in the air, but he was far from afraid.
If it were said that Mingri Manor was haunted by a powerful evil spirit, Gu Qingfeng was
fearless.
With his current strength, even if he faced the evil spirit directly, he could suppress it without
issue.
According to the records in the Longevity Dao Scripture, evil spirits were divided into several
ranks.
Among them.
The most initial level of evil spirits was known as the Disaster Level.
Such weak evil spirits were approximately equivalent in strength to a Martial Artist in the Blood Refining Realm, and the stronger ones could compare to a Magician in the Spirit- controlling Realm or stand side by side with a Martial Artist in the Refining Organ Realm.
Above that, were the Disaster-Level evil spirits.
These types of evil spirits.
Were not sothing ordinary Martial Artists could handle.
However.
Once a Disaster-Level evil spirit appeared, it could upheave a prefecture and affect an entire county; it certainly wouldn't appear easily.
And if such an evil spirit did appear, not to ntion that there would be no living person left
in Mingri Manor, even the whole of White Stone Dao might beco akin to hell.
So.
Not to ntion that the existence of an evil spirit in Mingri Manor is debatable, even if it were
true, the strength of the evil spirit was likely limited.
In a short while.
Gu Qingfeng and ng Peng stopped in front of a manor.
The manor appeared newly built, with large characters written on the plaque above the gate.
Gu Family Manor!
Clearly.
This was the future residence of the Gu Family.
But upon closer inspection, one could see that Gu Family Manor was only roughly
constructed, and many of the finer details inside had not been fully perfected.
At this mont.
The guard outside Gu Family Manor beca visibly delighted upon seeing the visitors, and
then he bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Family Head!"
"Take to see the deceased," Gu Qingfeng said indifferently, and the guard dared not hesitate, leading the two n towards the interior of Gu Family Manor.
In the main hall of Gu Family Manor lay more than a dozen bodies covered with white cloths.
Gu Qingfeng lifted the white cloth, and before his eyes was a mummified corpse; the deceased
was not old, but his pupils were wide with terror, his face frozen in a state of fear as if he had seen sothing horrifying before death.
Looking further, one could see that the deceased's chest had been torn open, and the five
internal organs were missing without a trace.
More importantly. Within those wounds, Gu Qingfeng could feel a cold presence lingering.
This aura seed sowhat similar to that of the evil spirits.
But Gu Qingfeng, having clashed with magicians no less than once, was very clear about the
power of the evil spirits they harnessed, and by comparison, there seed to be so difference between the cold presence here and the magicians' evil spirit power.
