Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 51

An Zhe drew the pattern on Chen Shaobai’s crystal wine pot according to his memory. He then took it to look for Old Huo.

Old Huo stared at it for a while, but he had never seen it before.

“A long time ago.”

Old Huo put down the paper in his hand and said, “It is said that there are many huge families. At that time, the country was weak and the real power was divided among these huge families.”

Every great family had their own army. They ruled by themselves, and they could forge coins or not even pay taxes to the imperial court.

These large clans are like an independent kingdom. Although they are still nominally ruled by the imperial family, in reality, the royal family no longer has any status. ”

“That period was also the darkest period in history.

Each family has its own unique flag and emblem, and it looks to me like something from that era.

“If you say that your friend wants to inherit a large family, and also belongs to a secret family, then most likely, he will be one of the powerful races that has persisted until now.”

“After that, the great Xi unified most of the place, but it didn’t mean that the great clans were destroyed.”

Of course, some of them had been eliminated by history, but some had moved from the light to the dark.

They were still in control of their power, but because the Da Xi was too powerful, they didn’t dare to fight back.

“If anything happens, they’ll still appear.”

Of course, An Zui also knew these things, but it had been too long ago, so he didn’t think about it.

Now that Old Huo mentioned it, it made sense.

It was called the Dark and Warring States Era.

The big families had all the resources, and they never stopped fighting each other.

An Zhe carefully recalled. It seemed that there really was a Chen family during the Warring States Era. Because they lived in the east coast, their most glorious time was when they occupied roughly a fifth of the territory of the current Da Xi.

The mention of Chen Yidao, the king of the Mausoleum of Books, was enough to make a lot of people fall for him.

However, the Chen family was later ordered to join forces with Goldman Sachs’ Jun Dongye Fox, and the Chen family disappeared without a trace.

Rumors had it that the remnants of the Chen family had drifted across the sea to an isolated island in the eastern sea and had never returned.

Many people were fascinated by that period of history, and some even chose it as the period when most sages were born.

Of course, that era was also the era where cultivators would shine.

He had heard stories about the great masters from the beginning of his cultivation. These stories included how Lord Tantai, Su Yang, had asked him to plant a peach tree and a peach blossom in order to entertain the hanger-ons.

There is also the story of Goldman Sachs’ Jun Dongye Fox, who took his goalkeeper to the lake to face a demon beast’s heavenly tribulation and slay the dragon with one hand.

“It was the most chaotic era, the era with the most bloodshed. It was also the era with the most splendor for cultivators.”

Old Huo took a sip of his “wine” and said, “Rumor has it that at that time, the number of lesser celestial experts had reached an astonishing number of over a hundred, perhaps even more.”

An Zhe nodded, “I am a hero in this chaotic world, but I hope that this era will last longer.”

Old Huo said, “You Yan’s sixteen kingdoms are in the middle of nowhere. They’ve been fighting for years, so there’s a place like Illusory Realm City that shouldn’t exist.”

Look at Da Xi, his life is much more stable.

So no matter at any time, no matter how just an excuse, no matter who started the war, suffering or the people.

“Not a single commoner looks forward to a chaotic world. Those who look forward to a chaotic world are ambitious people and those who feel that they can make a name for themselves in a chaotic world.”

An Zeng sighed, “I only wish for the chaotic world to never come.”

It was a pity for An Zhe that he was unable to figure out Chen Shaobai’s background.

However, right now, he didn’t have much time to think about these things. There were still too many things that needed to be done in the Heavenly Enlightenment Martial Academy.

In order to lessen the suspicions of the outside world, An Zhe still arranged for Skinny Du and the others to properly study and cultivate during the day and enter the ‘Heavenly Defying Seal’ at night to study.

Old Huo tried to take out a small portion of herbs and soil from the Blood Fang Pearl, and transplanted them into the space of the Heaven Defying Seal.

With Old Huo’s ability, he could at most transplant about a tenth of the items.

In order to prevent any problems with his body, even if he had the ability, he didn’t dare to cause any more problems.

If it weren’t for the insistence of An Zaiyue, he wouldn’t have moved at all.

“I’ll leave these herbs in your care.”

An Zeng sat on a tall grassy slope in the space of the Heaven Defying Seal. He felt quite accomplished as he looked at the newly planted herbs below him.

With his current age and cultivation, it was indeed worth being proud of for him to be able to change the Heavenly Enlightenment Martial Academy to such a state.

He had many cultivation techniques in his mind, so there was no need to envy the Fantasy World Academy a three-storey library that was almost filled to the brim.

He had a farm to make sure his friend didn’t worry when he was injured or needed to be promoted.

“And this.”

An Zhe took out the Kirin Steel that he had won in the match against the Academy and placed it in front of Qu Liuxi. “This bet is specifically for you.”

Old Huo and I asked around and found out that the best ingredient to make a pill furnace in the city was Kirin Steel.

Kirin Steel was a white grade material, so it was almost impossible for them to produce a red grade material or higher in the Fantasy Academy.

“I didn’t give it to you before because I asked Old Huo to temper it first so that it would be easier for you to control it.”

Qu Liuxi’s eyes reddened. “You risked your life to obtain these.”

An Zhan rubbed her bangs. “It’s not that serious. Hurry up and accept it. Later, you can go find Old Huo and ask him to be your master.”

Although he wasn’t proficient in alchemy, he was a grandmaster refiner.

If I allow him to forge a cauldron for you, you will be able to forge pills in the future.

“I know that in your heart, what you love the most is medicine, not cultivation.”

Qu Liuxi was so touched that she didn’t know what to say. She stood there and almost cried.

“But, but you are the sect leader and also our teacher.

Back then, my master said that after you’ve acknowledged your teacher, you can’t casually change your sect. That’s an act of betrayal.

“So after I entered the Martial Arts Academy, Master forcefully broke off our relationship as master and disciple and accepted me as his adopted daughter.”

“You are not my disciple, and I am not your master, so why are there so many taboos?”

I don’t know anything about alchemy, I just know some pharmacology.

Old Huo has a much more detailed understanding of medicine than I do.

He can give you the best help, so don’t hang on to these things.

“Later on, when things get less busy, I’ll go around the market and see if I can get better materials to make a pill furnace for you.”

Qu Liuxi’s appearance was truly adorable. An Zhe pushed her to find Old Huo.

After she left, she sat down cross-legged and began cultivating to sense the spiritual qi in the outside world.

Actually, the process of cultivation was very complex, and it wouldn’t be difficult to explain it simply.

Cultivation could never be separated from the four words: Breathing and Breathing.

“Whew.” He let out a breath of turbid air from his body.

He breathed in the spiritual qi from the outside world.

Cultivation was to absorb the spirit energy in the air into the dantian’s Qi Sea and then convert it into energy that could be used.

Everyone’s perception of the spirit energy in the air was different. Some people were more sensitive to the spirit energy in the water, so their cultivation levels were often related to water.

Some people were more sensitive to fire, while others were more sensitive to metal sharp Qi.

The air was not only a life-sustaining gas, but it also contained all kinds of spiritual energy.

Not only were cultivators the same, magical beasts were the same as well.

In truth, magical beasts were just a generic term. Beasts that could release the power of one’s cultivation were known as magical beasts, but in reality, they could be classified into three types.

One was a beast, the other was a demon beast, and the other was a demon beast.

For example, flowers, plants, trees and even stones were all things that gave birth to one’s own intelligence and allowed one to cultivate. These things were called spirit beasts.

Demonic beasts referred to the things that had evolved, such as the birds, snakes, fishes, insects and the like.

Demonic beasts referred to the myriad energies in the world, and the air contained all sorts of spirit energy.

Under a certain environment, a certain kind of spiritual energy would gather in a place without dispersing. After a long time, it would become a physical entity, evolving into a magical beast.

Therefore, most of the beasts were plants, but there were also other things.

Demonic beasts were mostly animals, while magical beasts were all types of spiritual energy.

If there is such a distinction, then the good grandpa is a demon beast.

… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … ….

In the Tianqi Martial Arts Academy, he alone held all the positions of a gentleman, an elder brother, and a breeder.

Arriving at the entrance of the Heaven-defying Seal’s spatial gate, An Zhe saw the ant crawling on the road. It had already climbed a path that was one-fiftieth of the width of a distance away.

“Do your best.”

An Zhan said to the ant, then he left the Heaven Defying Seal.

When he came out, the sky was already very dark.

As soon as the sky darkened, the skinny guys immediately entered the cultivation world of the Heaven Defying Seal.

When he got to the kitchen door, he saw a shadow outside the door.

The man stood there motionless, as if he were a statue.

However, the bronze bell didn’t attack. It was obvious that this person didn’t have any killing intent.

“Master An.”

The person outside the door clasped his hands together and said, “I am Qiu Changchen.”

The headmaster of the Illusory Realm Academy, Qiu Changchen, what did he come here for?

An Zhan was stunned for a moment, then he walked over and opened the door. “Please come in.”

Qiu Changchen smiled. “What, Sect Master An isn’t wary of me at all?”

An Xuan said, “A guest is a guest, how can you let a guest stand outside the door?”

He led the way, with Qiu Changchen following slowly behind him. “Where are your disciples?”

“They are all my friends, not counting my disciples.

“I don’t know where I went, but when night falls, I feel like a bunch of horses that have lost their reins. I can’t even find them.”

“Oh, pure in nature, playing games isn’t such a bad thing.”

Qiu Changchen walked into the room and then looked around. “Sect Master An is rather simple. The furnishings in this room are of the Archaic Descendants.”

An Xuan said, “Dean Qiu, you might as well say that I’m poor. I’m not an elegant person. With money, I can guarantee that the house will be decorated in a splendid fashion.”

“Cast a naked golden man beside the bed. Let’s have a look when we wake up.”

Qiu Changchen couldn’t help but laugh. “True disposition. Since that’s the case, I’ll just explain my purpose for coming.”

He sat down and said, “Sect Master An and your friends are all outstanding heroes among men. Their future achievements will be limitless.”

In such a small place as the Great Illusionary Land, it would delay your talent and spoil it.

Although I am the headmaster of the Fantasy World Academy, I am also a vice general of the Ironflow Fire.

I can write a letter of recommendation if you like.

You brought my letters to the Great Yan and entered the military’s Martial Competition Courtyard.

You will be better taught there.

“And I believe that with your talents and hard work, you will soon rise to prominence in the Great Yan.”

An Zaidao was truly tempted, not by himself, but by Xiao Qidao.

When Auntie Ye went to the Great Yan, although Xiao Qitao didn’t say it, how could she not think too much about her mother?

He was a sensible person, so he never mentioned it to An Zaiyue. However, An Zaidao had seen him sit there in a daze countless times.

However, in the end, An Zaiyue did not agree. He knew what Aunty Ye was afraid of.

“Thank you for your kind intentions, Dean.”

An Zaiyue clasped his fists. “I heard that there will be a great ceremony in three and a half years for Great Yan. I think... it won’t be too late for me to go then.”

Qiu Changchen sighed lightly. “I’m afraid that Sect Master An and the rest will be renowned throughout the world after the Autumn Ceremony. I’m afraid that you won’t be interested in the Martial Arts Academy.”

He took out an iron plate and put it down, “If you change your mind, come find me at any time.”

“On behalf of the Great Yan Army, I welcome you all at any time.”

After saying that, he stood up and said his goodbyes.

An Zeng looked at the iron plate, on top of which was a flying wolf that was burning with flames.

There were three words on the back of the plate... Iron Streaming Fire
