Chapter 36: Sound Transmission Gu

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Fanshu City was not far from the Gu Immortal Sect, it was a moderate distance away.

If he took a carriage, it would take two days. It was in the opposite direction of Yunding City.

The second time he left the mountain, Fang Yuan did not know where the Gu slave was staying. He did not have time to go home to take a look, so he headed straight for Fanshu City.

The journey was tiring.

Fang Yuan got off at the city gate.

After standing for a while, a soldier came up to him, asking respectfully, “May I ask, where are you from?”

“Gu Immortal Sect.”

“So you are a senior from the Gu Immortal Sect. The vice city lord has already set up a banquet in the residence to entertain everyone.”

“Lead the way.”

“Yes!”

Following the soldier, they walked through the city, and before long, they stopped in front of a large residence.

“This is the vice city lord’s manor. Lord is receiving guests in the hall, please go ahead.”

Saying so, the soldier turned around and left.

Fang Yuan entered the manor.

A servant came forward to guide him, asking about his background.

Arriving at the hall, the servant stood still and said loudly, “The Gu Immortal Sect’s honored guest has arrived!”

At this moment, there were already many people gathered in the hall. They were sitting on both sides of the hall, chatting and drinking tea with the vice city lord.

There was a beautiful woman sitting next to the vice city lord. She should be the target in this mission.

Following the servant shout, everyone’s gaze landed on Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan looked straight ahead, he walked forward and cupped his fists at the vice city lord. “Gu Immortal Sect’s inner sect disciple, Fang Yuan, greets the vice city lord.”

“Haha, just in time.”

The vice city lord was a rough man with a scar on his face. Seeing that Fang Yuan did not mind, he smiled. “Please take a seat!”

Fang Yuan looked around, and there were not many empty seats left. He found a seat near Xu Zhiyu and sat down.

[Ding, your Cloud Shadow Gu has absorbed the delicate fragrance of a virgin, gaining 1% of cultivation progress!]

Fang Yuan was satisfied. Fortunately, Xu Zhiyu was also a virgin, or else this mission would drag down the cultivation progress of the Cloud Shadow Gu by quite a lot.

“Butler He, which sect is still not here?” The vice city lord tilted his head and asked a middle-aged man beside him.

“A few large sects nearby have arrived, only a few small sects in the more remote areas have not sent anyone. Perhaps they are still on their way.”

“Then let’s not bother about them.”

The vice city lord waved his hand. “Come, let’s give a welcome gift to all the elites of the sects.”

“Yes.”

Butler He walked to the back hall. Not long after, he came out with a tray, on which were crystal clear Gu worm eggs.

“These are Sound Transmission Gu, Bronze grade, one for each person. After hatching, it can be used to send messages to people in a certain range. If there is any unusual activity, everyone can use this to communicate.”

Hearing the butler’s explanation, everyone could not help but exclaim in admiration.

As expected of a rich family, they were able to use Bronze grade Gu worms.

Fang Yuan also got one. He did not stand on ceremony and directly threw it into his acupoints to hatch it.

This time, nothing went wrong. The Sound Transmission Gu was very honest, it did not need any special requirements to cultivate diligently.

Very quickly, it was raised to rank one and obtained a voice transmission skill.

Currently, the range was limited to one thousand meters. If Fang Yuan fed it liquid spiritual essence, he could increase the range by five times, which was five thousand meters.

The people present were all disciples of the various sects that received a lot of attention, so their strength was naturally not weak. They had also unlocked the ability of the Sound Transmission Gu one after another.

After experiencing the convenience of the Sound Transmission Gu, everyone naturally gave Vice City Lord Xu a round of praise.

Vice City Lord Xu accepted it calmly and cupped his hands towards everyone.

“Xu Zhiyu is my only child, my daughter’s safety depends on everyone.”

Everyone agreed.

“Of course, if anything happens, we will definitely work together to kill that evil rapist! We won’t give him a chance!”

“Don’t worry, Vice City Lord, I heard that the rapist is only at the first layer of the Enlightenment Realm. I have been at the second layer for a long time, so I can take him down by myself!”

The others also reported their strength. Most of them were at the first or second layer of the Enlightenment Realm. Some of them had already cultivated to the third layer and were very powerful.

Only Fang Yuan sat in his seat silently and closed his eyes to rest.

He was too lazy to talk about meaningless topics with these people.

At this time, someone said, “We come from different sects. If there’s no one leading us, we’re probably no different from a pile of loose sand. It will be very easy for the thief to take advantage of us. Why don’t we elect someone among us to order everyone to take action?”

“I agree.”

“I agree too.”

Vice City Lord Xu saw this and asked, “Since that is the case, how about the strongest person be the leader?”

Everyone’s gaze turned to the Gu master who said he was at the third layer of the Enlightenment Realm.

That person immediately declined: “I only know cultivation. I don’t know these things, so you can change your candidate.”

Thus, they turned to the next target.

He was only at the second layer of the Enlightenment Realm. There were at least five people who were on the same layer as him, so there were naturally people who were not convinced.

They fought for a long time, but there was no result.

Someone suddenly spoke.

“Brother Fang did not speak earlier. The Gu Immortal Sect is a famous sect, they must have sent out a disciple at the fourth layer of the Enlightenment Realm, right?”

Gu masters did not have any spirit essence fluctuations when they did not attack. They looked like normal people, and no matter their cultivation level, others could not tell their strength.

“You guessed wrong.” Fang Yuan said slowly, “I am at Foundation Establishment.”

“Pfft, Foundation Establishment?”

A burly man beside him even spat out the tea he had just drunk, laughing loudly, but when he thought of the might of Gu Immortal Sect, he suppressed his laughter.

The others could not help but laugh, but they did not dare to laugh.

Fang Yuan did not say anything, and he continued to close his eyes and rest.

It was still Vice City Lord Xu who stepped in to mediate the situation.

“Brother Fang’s aura is powerful. The Gu worms he raises must have their own unique characteristics. If a leader is not chosen, then this matter will be put to rest for now.”

“This humble one has already set up a banquet in the back hall as a welcome party. Everyone can return to their rooms to rest for now and speak freely again at night.”

“If you have any needs, you can point them out at any time. I will do my best to satisfy you all.”

Everyone could tell that these were just polite words. They naturally did not ask for anything, and left one by one.

Fang Yuan waited for them to leave. Seeing that Xu Zhiyu and Vice City Lord Xu were about to leave, he went forward to speak.

“Vice City Lord Xu, I have a favor to ask of you.”

“Brother Fang, please speak.” Vice City Lord Xu knew that Fang Yuan’s cultivation level was not high, but since he was from the Gu Immortal Sect, he was still polite.

“Can you let me stay near Miss Xu’s room?”

“This…”

Vice City Lord Xu frowned. He was unhappy.

Fang Yuan cupped his hands: “I only want to keep an eye on Miss Xu’s surroundings, and I have no other intentions.”

“Brother Fang, you are too serious. You are from a famous sect, I will not doubt you.”

Saying so, Vice City Lord Xu looked at the housekeeper: “Go, bring some people to clean up the courtyard next to Miss Xu, let the honored guest stay there.”

“Yes.”

The Butler nodded and looked at Fang Yuan.. “Please follow me.”
