Chapter 29: 029 is here!

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated through the window and illuminated the bed, Gu Yang suddenly opened his eyes and looked out the window, his brow furrowed, “Could it be the people from the Liu family have caught up? How did they get here so quickly?”

This was their fourth day since leaving Tianshui City. They spent last night in a small town, lodging at a local’s home.

Once they had left the Lian Mountain range, there were signs of human habitation everywhere, one village after another. No longer were they eating in the open and sleeping under the stars as they did before.

Just now, he had heard the sound of horse hooves entering the town and was instantly on alert.

According to the many simulations he had performed before, it would be a year before the Liu family knew that Su Qingzhen was in Ba County and sent people to fetch her.

And the swordsman dispatched by the Lin family should not have appeared until tomorrow.

Gu Yang was not too superstitious about the results of Simulated Life. After all, that was just a simulation, not divination.

Even if it were divination, the mindset before and after divination would be entirely different. Such changes in mindset would lead to different choices in many matters, thus creating a butterfly effect.

Taking his machete, he walked outside and saw Su Qingzhen seated on the ground practicing her cultivation. She was just finishing her exercise, expelling the impurities in her chest, which formed a white qi column.

“Ninth Rank?”

Gu Yang’s eyes condensed. This was precisely the characteristic of the “Xuan Yuan Method” when it reached the Ninth Rank.

In just a few short days, she had already broken through her cultivation rank.

Wasn’t this way too exaggerated?

It defied common sense.

Normally, no matter how talented one was, to reach a new cultivation rank required an accumulation process. True Qi wouldn’t be produced out of thin air. Even those from big clans had to go through numerous medicinal baths and consume elixirs, taking them about a year or two to reach a new cultivation rank when they first started practicing.

As for ordinary people without any resources, this process would be even longer.

Under his watchful eyes, it would have been impossible for Su Qingzhen to secretly consume an elixir.

“Could it be due to the Yin Qi in her body?”

Gu Yang, with his profound Martial Arts cultivation level, soon had a guess.

His True Qi, known as Reaching Yang, and her Xuan Yuan Qi, being the Extreme Yin, had created a mysterious reaction. The combination of the two not only brought great benefits to him, but the benefits she received were likely even greater.

“Her True Qi should all originate from the Xuan Yuan Qi in her body. After reacting with my Reaching Yang Qi, it was absorbed and refined by her body.

That’s why she could break through her cultivation rank in such a short time.”

Gu Yang felt that this should be very close to the truth.

“What the Liu family fancies must be her special constitution.”

A hint of joy appeared in Su Qingzhen’s eyes. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Gu Yang and quickly stood up.

“I will go out and take a look. You two stay here.”

After saying this, Gu Yang left the house.

Gu Yang went to find Zhang Xiao Hai and asked him to go out and find out what was going on.

Before long, Zhang Xiao Hai returned and informed him that it was a young master from the Zheng family out for some amusement.

So, it was the Zheng family.

Gu Yang had dealt with the Zheng family several times in his previous simulations.

In Ba County, the Zheng family was the leading family, their position comparable to that of the Liu family in Elephant County. Both were influential local forces with deep roots.

Such esteemed families typically had a Third Rank Martial Artist to back them up.

However, an ordinary young master would not have too many powerful experts by his side.

With Gu Yang’s current strength, there was no need to fear a noble young lad of this level. If he dared to act without thinking, he wouldn’t hesitate to teach him a lesson. As long as he didn’t maim or kill him, the Zheng family would most likely not send powerful experts for retaliation.

After they finished breakfast, Gu Yang and his group packed up and continued their journey.

At noon when they stopped to rest, they unexpectedly ran into the Zheng family procession. They had also hired a horse-drawn carriage and were followed by seven or eight horsemen.
