C144 That Night
Back in Profound Weapon Shop, Gu Qi had been waiting in his courtyard for a long time. When he saw Su Chen, he immediately jumped up and shouted at Su Chen, "Where have you been? I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"What? Why are you looking for me?" Su Chen asked in confusion.
"The family has issued a big mission, asking all the young generation of the family to move out. Whoever has the ability to complete this mission will be greatly nurtured by the family. There will also be a chance to become the next successor of the family. My position in the family is not high and my strength is not too strong. It's extremely difficult to become a member of the clan, so this operation is extremely important to me. That's why I want you to help me. " Gu Qi pulled Su Chen, his face filled with anticipation.
"Sure, no problem. Although I won't help you when it comes to picking up girls, alright, no problem. Although I won't help you when it comes to picking up girls, it's a different story when it comes to fighting. Just tell me the time, location, and characters. I promise I'll sweep everything away for you." Su Chen naturally wouldn't refuse a friend's request for help. He sat in front of the stone table, drank the tea in his cup, and shouted with great heroic spirit.
"I estimate that from tomorrow onwards, the deadline for the mission will be three days." Gu Qi said without hesitation.
"Ah... Then where is the location of the mission?" Su Chen heard that the time he mentioned was in conflict with Yu Qingying's agreement and could not help but be startled. Then he frowned and asked.
"That place is called Valley of Fallen Gods. I don't know the exact location. However, according to the family's information, that place should be an extremely mysterious ancient crystal mine." Gu Qi changed his tone to a telepathic message. Obviously, this was a secret of his family.
"Valley of Fallen Gods, why are you going to that place as well?" Su Chen's facial expression changed drastically when he heard this. Because the place Gu Qi was talking about was actually the same place that Yu Qingying had provided him with the mission location. This caused him to be shocked.
"What? Don't tell me you know someone who wants to go to the Valley of Fallen Gods?" When Gu Qi heard this, he asked in confusion.
"Yes. A friend of mine had asked me to go there to help a few months ago. I didn't expect you to ask the same question now." Su Chen nodded.
"Oh, I didn't expect that. What's your friend's surname? Gu, Yu, Yue, or Dongfang?" Gu Qi frowned and asked.
"Her surname is Yu. How did you know?" Su Chen was shocked and asked.
"Her surname is Yu, and she already knew about it a few months ago. She must be a core disciple of the Yu family. Also... you are stuttering when you speak, you are not happy at all. If I'm not wrong, that core disciple with the surname Yu is definitely a woman. And she's the most beautiful one, right? "Gu Qi squinted his eyes, pointed at Su Chen and shouted.
"Cough, you pervert. Even if you see a sow, it's easy for your sperm to enter your brain. Who would dare to reveal their female confidantes to you?" Su Chen curled his lips and shouted angrily.
"Female confidantes? You even managed to obtain the core disciple of the Yu family? Isn't this too exaggerated?" When Gu Qi heard this, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and his face was filled with disbelief.
"What? Is there something rare about this?" Su Chen raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Of course. Yu family is one of the four great ancient families in Heavenly Origin City. They have a very strong foundation and many different aspects of strength. Especially in terms of military power, they have control over more than half of the forces in the Heavenly Origin City. They are considered a huge force in the entire Heavenly Origin City."
"In such a large clan, a core disciple has a very high position. Even an ordinary Heavenly Soul Stage Expert wouldn't dare to provoke them in public. Otherwise, it would bring about a fatal disaster. If you can really get your hands on this core disciple, you can do whatever you want in Heavenly Origin City in the future. " Gu Qi widened his eyes and shouted.
"She is so powerful, but I didn't see anything strange about her." When Su Chen heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across his face.
"It's precisely because she's ordinary that she can reveal her magic. It's likely that she was able to secretly communicate with you for so long without being discovered. This alone is not something an ordinary person can do." Gu Qi shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"You're right. Every time she wants to appear, when she wants to leave, she will appear silently. I have never known where she is, and even more so, I don't know why she came. Speaking of which, this is really funny." When Su Chen heard this, he slowly nodded his head and said.
"By the way, let's talk about you. Since you know so many things... I think your identity isn't that simple. Coincidentally, your surname is Gu as well. Don't tell me you're also a member of the Four Great Ancient Clans? " Su Chen looked at Gu Qi with a curious expression.
"You are right. The Gu that I mentioned earlier... Yu, Yue, the four ancient families of Heavenly Origin City are located in the east. I am a member of Gu family. However, my father is a member of a branch family, so his status in the family is very low. Because of this, I can only spend my days in the Profound Weapon Shop, hoping that I can live a peaceful life and end my life." Gu Qi said with a bitter smile.
"Actually, I really want to burn my youth and create my own glory. However, my identity determines our fate. But today, the heavens have given me a chance to turn things around. I must take a gamble. Use your actions to show your enthusiasm. " When Gu Qi said this, he changed his cheeky attitude, and a determined look appeared on his face.
"Good brother, I support you!" When Su Chen heard this, he patted his shoulder and called out.
"But... Didn't you still want to support your confidante?" Gu Qi was stunned for a moment and asked.
"As long as you tell me the mission, perhaps I can find a chance to support both of you at the same time." After pondering for a moment, Su Chen slowly said these words.
"There is a chance, but it is too difficult." Gu Qi shook his head and slowly spoke of the clan's mission. "Tomorrow night will be the opening day of the crystal mine that only appears once every thousand years. It will be in the Seven Profound Cave of the Valley of Fallen Gods. There is an endless underground crystal mine. There will be a lot of Spirit Crystal there during the Realm Era. They can strengthen the body, spiritualize the mind, and deified the soul. They can increase one's strength in all aspects."
"Spirit Crystal? It sounds like an extremely noble natural treasure." Su Chen blinked his eyes, and his face shone with a dazzling brilliance.
"That's right. The Spirit Crystal is indeed a spiritual object of the heaven and earth. After thousands of years of nurturing, it has inherited the spiritual nature of the earth, and has become a holy object that cultivators dream of."
"What's even more unbelievable is that every thousand years, there will be different amounts of King of Spirit Crystal appearing in the crystal mine. They are the targets that the people of the four ancient clans are desperately pursuing. As long as I can obtain a single King of Spirit Crystal, my status will increase tremendously. I will become a core disciple of the tribe and obtain the right to inherit it." At this point, Gu Qi's face was filled with anticipation.0
"Don't worry, as long as there isn't a single King of Spirit Crystal, I will give each of you one to fulfill your mission requirements. Haha!" When Su Chen heard this, he generously patted his chest and promised.
"Good brother, although your strength level isn't high, but I know that you have many trump cards that not even many Heavenly Soul Stage Expert can do. As long as you can help me fulfill my wish this time, even if I have to climb the mountain of blades for you in the future... When I go into the sea of flames, I won't even frown." Gu Qi shouted excitedly.
"Alright, when are you leaving? Just tell me and I will make a trip to the House of Guardians." Su Chen patted Gu Qi's shoulder and turned around to leave.
"We will leave tomorrow morning. We will arrive at our destination in the evening. However, considering the danger of going to the Valley of Fallen Gods this time, I strongly suggest that we go to Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion and have a party tonight. Even if we die in the Valley of Fallen Gods tomorrow, we won't have anything to lose. " Gu Qi shouted at Su Chen.
"No need. I'm very confident in this mission, so I don't need to comfort myself before I die. If you want to go, then go. I still have something to do. See you tomorrow morning. " Su Chen said as he disappeared.
"This guy is always secretive. I wonder why he went to the House of Guardians this late at night. Could it be that Su Chen is jealous of Luo Shan and wants to use the night to rape her?" Gu Qi stared at her and let his thoughts run wild.
"Who cares. Anyway, he has already agreed to help me complete the mission. With his help, my chances of success will be very high." Thinking of this, Gu Qi's mood instantly became better. He hummed a small tune as he headed towards Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.
...
...
On the other hand, after Su Chen left the Profound Weapon Shop, he turned around and headed towards the House of Guardians. Along the way, he was extremely excited. The excitement that originated from his lower abdomen kept jumping. It made him eagerly yearn for the warm jade fragrance.
Arriving outside the House of Guardians, he sized up the steel mansion. Although it wasn't as majestic and magnificent as the City Lord's Mansion, it was filled with a murderous aura. The dark walls were carved with swords, spears, swords, and halberds. They were deep and oppressive. It was like an ancient battlefield that had been weathered by thousands of years of wind and frost.
Just the aura they emitted made Su Chen feel a chill in his heart.
However, he, who was extremely daring, felt a kind of fear in his heart. But he still braved the great injustice of the world and silently charged into the House of Guardians. He concealed his thoughts and concealed his figure. Avoiding the tight defense of the residence and avoiding the patrolling guards. After slightly identifying the direction, he headed towards the center of the residence, the Bright Embroidery Building.
This embroidery building was three stories tall and had a pure wood body structure. The pure yellow pear wood emitted a sweet fragrance. Su Chen climbed up the wooden building like a monkey and stopped by a window.
He looked inside through the gap of the window and immediately saw an extremely beautiful scene. The water in the room was overflowing and the fragrance filled the air. In a wooden bucket in the middle of the room. There was a completely naked little sheep gently rubbing its jade legs and washing them.
