Chapter 17: Secrets
"Grandpa, this is Hua Haidan?"
"Press, yes!" Gu Poshan looked at Gu Le with interest.
"Is this for me?" Gu Le couldn't help but ask again when he saw that his grandfather was no longer talking.
"This is the reward for the top three in the year-end competition, one person and one Haidan. Gu Poshan couldn't help but smile when he saw Gu Le's anxious appearance.
"Is this thing really so magical?After taking it, it will automatically form a sea of qi in the dantian?" Gu Le's innocent eyes showed curiosity, and he seriously looked at the cyan pill in his hand.
"Of course, but it must be taken by a martial artist at the peak of the late stage of the martial arts to be effective. If you can't take it, it's wasted. Gu Poshan's eyes showed a hint of love, "Didn't you ask me last time why you couldn't break through by yourself? This is the answer! The vast majority of the martial artists in our Purple Cloud Empire have to break through to become martial artists by taking Huahai Dan at the peak of the late stage of martial apprenticeship, so every year the empire's demand for Huahai Dan is a terrifying number. However, there were very few alchemists in the Purple Cloud Empire, so even a low-grade elixir like Hua Hai Dan became extremely precious. Even our Gu family only has four or five every year, which is used to reward talented teenagers. I see that your performance in the family competition has already reached the peak of the late stage of martial arts. You take it now, and I'll protect you!"
"Grandpa, the vast majority of martial artists have become martial artists through Huahaidan, so are there still people who don't need to break through through Haidan and become martial artists by themselves?" Gu Le did not follow his grandfather's orders to take Huahaidan immediately, but raised his head and asked his thoughts with a curious face.
Gu Poshan's charitable and calm eyes showed a little surprise, he didn't expect Gu Le to have such an idea. However, he quickly covered up the surprise in his eyes, and instead revealed a sense of vicissitudes, "All the martial artists who can achieve the martial master realm without turning into a sea pill have all become well-known figures in the Purple Cloud Empire, and our Gu family could have had such a character, but" Gu Poshan said this, as if realizing that he had said too much, so he disappeared.
And Gu Le was listening to it with relish, and suddenly lost his voice and wanted to protest loudly, but when he saw Gu Poshan, he suddenly showed a little loss. He suddenly felt that his grandfather seemed to be much older all of a sudden, which made the thirteen-year-old Gu Le's heart couldn't help but be full of dependence and distress for his grandfather. Basically, even if he hasn't seen his parents since he was a child, his grandfather can be said to be his only relative, which makes Gu Le know earlier to cherish the relatives around him, so Gu Le is the most reluctant to see his grandfather unhappy in the Gu family.
As if deliberately trying to break through this heavy atmosphere, Gu Le suddenly raised his immature little face and revealed an innocent and smug smile. "Grandpa, there will definitely be such a character in our Gu family!" he said and winked at Gu Poshan. Gu Poshan was amused by Gu Le's funny jokes, "Haha~~ Yes, it will appear." I believe that the Gu family is all the same. ”
"Eh~" Gu Poshan was stunned before he finished speaking.
At this moment, a strong momentum suddenly erupted from Gu Le's body, and Gu Poshan obviously felt that this momentum was definitely much stronger than when Gu Le was in the family competition. Immediately afterward, he saw that a mass of vitality emitting a soft white light had formed on Gu Le's right hand.
"The vitality is exposed! Gu Le, have you entered the martial artist realm?" Gu Poshan asked impatiently, but before Gu Le could answer, Gu Poshan flashed directly to Gu Le's side, his right hand was close to Gu Le's back, and a momentum that was dozens of times stronger than Gu Le suddenly emanated, and as Gu Le felt a very soft vitality enter his body, enter the sea of qi along the meridians, and then automatically dissipate.
"It's indeed a sea of qi, you really stepped into the martial arts realm by yourself!" Gu Poshan said excitedly. It was impossible for him not to be excited, but he knew that not long ago, Gu Le ran over and asked him how he could step into the realm of martial artists, Hua Haidan was still in Gu Le's hands. Although Hua Haidan is not a rare treasure, it is definitely a precious thing in Ishihara City, and others are not willing to give Gu Le Hua Haidan for no reason. In other words, there is only one possibility for Gu Le, and that is to step into the martial arts realm with his own strength.
"Press, just two days ago, I stepped into the realm of martial artists in a daze. Gu Le showed a pair of pitiful big eyes, and explained simply, of course, as for breaking through in a dream and learning to row the sea or something, it is absolutely impossible to say. It's his own secret.
Gu Poshan listened to Gu Le's words with a thoughtful look, and then as if he had thought of something, he showed a look of course. On the contrary, it made Gu Le look inexplicable. However, Gu Poshan didn't continue to ask, but just told Gu Le very seriously and repeatedly not to tell anyone about this matter, not even people in the family. Before leaving, he also forced Hua Haidan to Gu Le, and asked him to say that he had broken through to the realm of martial artists by taking the year-end Dabi to win Hua Haidan. deliberately asked him to hide from the light in the bamboo house for two days to make a show outside.
Gu Le was helpless about this, but seeing Gu Poshan so solemn, he honestly did what he asked. In fact, Gu Poshan didn't tell him, and Gu Le wouldn't tell him about his breakthrough. As the saying goes, pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and the more you eat, the better it tastes. Although Gu Le does not have this kind of bad taste, he has lived in other people's jokes since he was a child, and he knows how to protect himself and retain a certain strength to make himself live longer and live better.
In the past two days, Gu Le has completely fallen silent, no matter how happy the noise is outside, Gu Le simply doesn't listen to what is going on outside the window, and only reads Hong Huangwu. With his grandfather's words, Gu Le is now very relieved. He knew that his grandfather asked him to keep a low profile for his own good, after all, even if he stepped into the martial arts realm, he was only a martial artist in the early stage of martial arts, and he was much stronger than the martial artists in the martial apprentice realm, but he still had no status in the entire Ishihara City.
The reason why the four major families of Ishihara City were able to live in peace with each other was inseparable from the fact that the strength of each family was almost the same. This is a kind of balance, and if any family wants to break this balance, they must have the confidence to bear the collective siege of the other three families. And unfortunately, Gu Le's own breakthrough is a point that breaks the balance. If people know that Gu Le did not pass through the Martial Arts Realm of Huahaidan and broke through by himself, at best, the other three major families sent people to secretly get rid of Gu Le, so that Ishihara City is still the four major families, and it is still as calm as ever. At worst, it means that the three major families use this as a breakthrough point to form an alliance and besiege the Gu family at the same time, then with the current strength of the Gu family, it will only result in the extinction of the clan. Therefore, the secret of ancient music must be kept. These Gu Poshan knew, but he didn't tell Gu Le, he was too stressed to break Gu Le, after all, he was still a child. And Gu Le actually understands, he just doesn't want his grandfather to worry about it, so he simply keeps a low profile.
Gu Le practiced in the bamboo forest in a leisurely and elegant manner, and when he was tired, he painted the bamboo in the bamboo forest. In fact, he didn't know why he suddenly fell in love with painting bamboo, but he found that occasionally painting bamboo not only did not delay his cultivation, but often had unexpected gains. So I persevered. He didn't know that the outside world was completely crazy, of course, this so-called madness was of course inseparable from Lin Dashao's madness.
It turned out that Lin Zhuoben wanted to see Gu Le's jokes in the tavern that day. Who would have thought that Gu Le didn't care about him at all, and hid in the Gu family and didn't come out. No matter how the group of teenagers who came to provoke the door ridiculed, people couldn't say they would go out. This made the teenagers angry and anxious, "Why is Gu Le's product so faceless, even if you come out for a walk." How did this make the brothers get off the stage?" the young men at the door couldn't help but curse in their hearts.
Similarly, the young people of the Gu family were also suffocated by Gu Le's internal injuries, others came to provoke, Gu Le didn't even dare to go out of the door, and really became a shrunken turtle, many enthusiastic teenagers were angry in their hearts, and they all went to the bamboo forest to find Gu Le angrily, but unfortunately they were stopped by someone before they went in. I saw four black-clothed people sitting on all sides of the bamboo forest, and the teenagers were frightened by this aura before they entered. These people they know, the black-clothed guards of the Gu family, all of them are strong people in the Martial King Realm, and they only listen to the call of the patriarch. Now there are actually four people guarding here, which can be imagined that the patriarch attaches great importance to ancient music. This made the teenagers have to leave in frustration.
