#1865 - Chapter 1860 Fox

Unexpectedly, Hu Yan said:

“Fellow Daoist Gu doesn't need to prepare much. Tomorrow's matter will be easy for Fellow Daoist Gu.”

After he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and left, leaving Gu Changhuan to ponder for a good while in his seat.

Since Hu Yan said so, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?

Effortless for him, could it be...?

Gu Changhuan's lips suddenly curled up slightly as if he had thought of something. Then, he stood up from the throne and turned to go to the hot spring in the palace.

After traveling for so long, Gu Changhuan really wanted to take a bath, drink some cold wine, and enjoy himself.

Well, he could also have the attendants here make some dishes and snacks. He wondered what kind of delicacies they would make.

Hu Yan had prepared everything very thoroughly, not only providing a separate residence, but also servants in the residence on standby at any time.

As Gu Changhuan walked, he instructed the maid who had been following him since he entered the palace, suddenly forgetting her name, and said vaguely:

“Take some people to prepare some wine, dishes, and snacks, and have them delivered to the back hall hot spring later.”

The graceful female cultivator immediately lowered her head and replied:

“As you command, sir.”

Then, the female official signaled another team of attendants to follow Gu Changhuan to the back hall, but Gu Changhuan waved his hand to dismiss them.

He didn't have the habit of a young master, needing a large group of people around just to take a bath.

After arriving at the back hall, Gu Changhuan took out a formation plate and gently tapped it. A circle of light quickly expanded, rapidly covering the entire back hall.

This Mustard Seed Space wasn't very large for Great Ascension cultivators. If they were attentive, they could sense what was happening in most of the Mustard Seed Space, so naturally, a formation had to be set up.

The open-air hot spring was large and comfortable, and the water temperature was just right for Gu Changhuan, but for some cultivators with lower cultivation levels, they might be cooked as soon as they stepped in.

This palace was built on the top of a mountain and was low in the front and high in the back. Gu Changhuan had good eyesight, and by circulating his true essence slightly, he could really see the glittering snow peaks in the distance.

The distant snow peaks stretched out in a continuous line, like a silver dragon sleeping. The sun and moon in the Mustard Seed Space were very gentle. Following the moonlight, Gu Changhuan's eyes lit up slightly and he looked down, seeming to see a cave dwelling on a vast plain between two mountain ranges.

During the previous brief pleasantries, Hu Yan said that he lived in the Fox Cave in that mountain range, which was why this Mustard Seed Space was called the Boundless Cave.

So the palaces and cities on the plain should be the residences of other Great Ascension cultivators, right?

As Gu Changhuan thought this, he waved his hand, and a jade leaf floated out of his storage ring and was held in his hand.

Gu Changhuan knew very little about the Great Ascension cultivators in the entire Spirit Realm, and he didn't even know much about many races. The only information he knew was from what Zhen Lingzi had learned during his travels on the continent in the past, but that was all old news. Tens of thousands of years had passed, and Gu Changhuan didn't know much about the specific situation of the Spirit Realm now. Although he had inquired about a lot of information about alien races through the Chamber of Commerce before coming, Gu Changhuan still had to prepare more.

After all, he couldn't fight a battle without being sure of victory.

Thinking like this, Gu Changhuan waved his hand and took out the Immortal Communication Chart to examine it carefully.

The next day, just half an hour after the sun rose, Hu Yan came to Gu Changhuan's residence again.

Unlike the last time Hu Yan appeared with a large entourage, this time Hu Yan only brought seven people here. Judging from their clothes and cultivation levels, six of them were servants, and only one had a mid-Integration Stage cultivation level. Like Hu Yan, he wore a fox mask, but his fox mask only covered half of his face. Judging from the half of his face that was exposed, he was also a young man.

Well, the kind of young man who had lived for who knows how many thousands of years.

However, as soon as he saw the young man, Gu Changhuan knew the reason why Hu Yan appeared here today.

The young man with the half-fox mask had black spots all over his hands. Not only was Gu Changhuan very familiar with those black spots, but most cultivators knew that the black spots were a manifestation of an incurable disease. In the past, cultivators who contracted this symptom could only wait to die, but now it was different.

Gu Changhuan just glanced at the young man and smiled at Hu Yan:

“So it's for this matter. No wonder Fellow Daoist Hu said this matter was easy for me.”

Hu Yan chuckled.

“This matter is only easy for Emperor Gu. For other Great Ascension cultivators, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Speaking of which, this matter is also an opportunity for my nephew. If he hadn't met Emperor Gu, he would have inevitably fallen under this Lifeless Plague.”

As Hu Yan spoke, he waved his hand, and the young man stepped forward and introduced himself:

“Junior Hu Shuo greets Emperor Gu.”

Gu Changhuan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the name.

Hu Yan, Hu Shuo, it sounded like they were from the same family.

At this time, Hu Yan also gave the conditions,

“As long as Emperor Gu can help cure my nephew, Emperor Gu can choose any one of these six spiritual objects. Moreover, if Emperor Gu needs anything, I am willing to do something within my power to help Emperor Gu.”

Gu Changhuan was slightly surprised to hear this.

Although he didn't know what spiritual objects Hu Yan had brought, this promise alone showed how much Hu Yan valued this junior.

This made Gu Changhuan take another look at Hu Shuo and then sigh:

“I also have some nephews and nieces in my family, and I understand Fellow Daoist Hu's feelings very well.

Since this matter is just a matter of lifting a hand for me, it's not good to accept any reward. Just consider it as me making friends with Fellow Daoist Hu.”

As Gu Changhuan spoke, he raised his hand and a ball of gray Chaos True Essence instantly condensed in his palm. Before Hu Yan could say anything, the ball of Chaos True Essence quickly surged towards Hu Shuo, covering him completely.

Hu Shuo was shocked. Before he could react, he heard Gu Changhuan's solemn voice.

“Don't move.”

Hearing this voice, Hu Shuo was as if he had been frozen in place, and even his subconscious reaction was much slower. When he reacted, he couldn't help but be horrified.

What kind of terrifying strength was this? He suppressed his resistance with just a simple sound secret technique. Could it be that all Great Ascension cultivators were such terrifying monsters?

Hu Shuo stood there, thinking about countless things in an instant.

On the other side, Hu Yan was nervous at first, but then quickly realized that Gu Changhuan was treating Hu Shuo, so he restrained himself and didn't ask any questions for the time being, waiting for Hu Shuo to be cured before talking to Gu Changhuan in detail.

Here, under Gu Changhuan's control, the Chaos True Essence had poured into Hu Shuo's meridians, like a tiger descending the mountain, removing the Lifeless Plague from Hu Shuo's body.

The Lifeless Plague in the body of an Integration Stage cultivator could be called stubborn, but with Gu Changhuan personally taking action, there was naturally no reason to fail.

In just three breaths, Gu Changhuan smiled, and Hu Yan noticed his small movement and immediately looked at Hu Shuo.

He saw that the Chaos True Essence that had been integrated into Hu Shuo's body had reappeared on his body surface and was recalled by Gu Changhuan raising his hand; at the same time, the black spots on Hu Shuo's skin disappeared without a trace, like an ordinary cultivator who had never been infected with the Lifeless Plague.
