Chapter 872 Weird Stone Pillar
"Gu Cang, this is not how you play with your apprentice. You let her catch the Violent Energy Stone for no reason?" After Yan Li put away the Violent Energy Stone, Gu Yi wiped his sweat and looked at Venerable Gu Cang with disapproval on his face.
"Isn't it okay? Besides, won't the violent energy stone that Li'er brought back this time come in handy?" Venerable Gu Cang glanced at his eldest brother.
"Li'er, can you refine this violent repairing pill?" After calming down, Gu Yi looked at Yan Li.
"There will be no problem as long as we have the recipe." Yan Li nodded.
"Then follow uncle quickly. Li'er, you don't know that your great-grandmaster has to bear that hole in his chest all day long, which is really an eyesore." Gu Yi said and pulled Yan Li away.
"Uncle Master, why can our Grand Master still be alive even with a hole in his chest?" Yan Li really couldn't understand.
"Didn't your master tell you? As long as the soul of the people in our ancient family is immortal, no matter what happens to the body, they will not die." Gu Yi explained with a smile.
"So, aren't all the people in this world outside of this world old monsters?" Yan Li couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"That's not the case. Some newborn babies are not like that." Gu Yi replied.
"Uncle-master, in this case, the old ones don't die, and the young ones keep being born. Wouldn't this world outside be overcrowded?" Yan Li asked out her doubts.
"That wouldn't happen. People in our world outside the realm are more obsessed with cultivation and have no interest in having children. It was because our ancestors wanted to have a child to play with that they forced your master to get married, and that's why he ran away from the marriage." Speaking of Venerable Gu Cang's escape from the marriage, Gu Yi couldn't help laughing.
"Poor Master." Yan Li sighed upon hearing this.
"Lier, we've arrived at the Gu family." Gu Yi said, pointing ahead.
Yan Li looked in the direction Gu Yi pointed, and she didn't expect that the Gu family lived in a castle.
This castle looks very simple yet elegant.
After Gu Yi finished speaking, he pulled Yan Li inside.
"Gu Yi, where did you bring this little girl from?" As a result, Yan Li and the others were blocked by a layer of barrier.
"Gatekeeper Elder, she is Gu Cang's disciple Yan Li." Gu Yi replied.
"Gu Cang's disciple? Why didn't he bring him back himself?" The gatekeeper elder had a serious face.
"Aren't they here?" As soon as the words fell, Venerable Gu Cang and Gu Shu walked over.
"Gu Cang, you should know the rules. If a newcomer wants to enter the Gu family, he must kneel three times and kowtow nine times until he enters the old ancestor's residence.
If the ancestor is willing to acknowledge her, he will grant her eighteen whips to change her physique and completely become a person outside the realm. "The gatekeeper elder said in a serious tone.
Yan Li: ...
what?
After I kneel down and kowtow nine times before entering, if their ancestor is in a good mood, I will still be whipped eighteen times?
The key point is that after that, will I become like them, with an immortal physique as long as my soul is immortal?
"No need. I have never thought about becoming an outsider. I would rather be a happy ordinary person." Yan Li answered directly.
"Gatekeeper elder, if I remember correctly, besides three kneelings, nine kowtows and eighteen whips, there is another way to enter the Gu family, and that is to save one person from the Gu family." Venerable Gu Cang said in a cold voice.
"That's right, but who can she save?" The gatekeeper elder said with disdain in his tone.
"Brother, go and bring the old man over, and bring the prepared elixir as well." Venerable Gu Cang looked at Gu Yi.
"Okay." Gu Yi responded and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Yan Li estimated that she would have to refine the Violent Restoration Pill in front of the Gu family's gate, so she just found a place to sit down.
"Get up, you little bitch, get up." Yan Li sat down on a stone block nearby, and the gatekeeper elder's angry voice rang out.
Yan Li listened carefully and found that the sound seemed to come from the stone pier.
So she jumped up in fright.
After Yan Li got up, she saw the stone pillar slowly getting bigger and finally turned into an old man.
Only then did Yan Li realize that the gatekeeper elder had shrunk himself into the size of a stone pillar.
Just now, he was sitting on the back of the gatekeeper elder.
Seeing Yan Li's stunned look, Venerable Gu Cang at the side almost laughed out loud.
Gu Shu couldn't help laughing so hard that her body shook.
"Why are you so rude, girl?" The gatekeeper elder glared at Yan Li.
"Why are you so weird, old man? Why don't you be a good person but choose to be a stone pillar?" Yan Li came back to his senses.
"Which gatekeeper elder of this ancient family is not like this?" said the gatekeeper elder angrily.
Yes, in this world outside the world, everyone knows that the two stone pillars in front of each family’s gate cannot be touched, let alone be disrespectful to them.
But Yan Li didn’t know!
My master gave me a lot of instructions but didn't mention anything about the stone pier.
Can I blame myself for this?
"Now I know. I won't sit on you as if you were a chair anymore." Yan Li was speechless.
"That won't do. You were rude to me, girl. You must compensate me." The gatekeeper elder suddenly wanted to tease Yan Li.
"You blocked my way before and made me kneel three times, kowtow nine times and be whipped eighteen times, but I didn't care about it. Now you are asking me for compensation?" Yan Li rolled her eyes at the gatekeeper elder after she said that.
"That's the rule, it's the rule that has always existed in the family. I'm not trying to make things difficult for you." The gatekeeper elder jumped up when he heard that.
"I don't care, since you said that anyway." Yan Li thought, who doesn't know how to act like a rogue?
"You..." The gatekeeper elder was so angry that he scratched his ears and cheeks.
At this moment, Gu Yi had already carried out his old man with a hole in his chest.
Yan Li looked at the old man and found that the hole in his chest was bigger than she had imagined.
Although the hole in his chest was not fatal, the old man looked a bit listless.
"Are you going to seek death everywhere in the future?" Seeing the old man looking at him, Gu Cang asked unhappily.
“How am I seeking death? You also know that those stones in the rocky hill are fragments of violent energy stones. Although they are only the size of a fingernail, it is a challenge to grab a few pieces to play with.” The old man was obviously not convinced.
"Dad, she is your disciple Yan Li." Gu Yi pointed at Yan Li and introduced her.
"Li'er, I heard from your uncle that you can not only grab the violent energy stone with your bare hands, but also refine the violent repair pill?" The old man looked at Yan Li with shining eyes.
"That's right." Yan Li nodded.
"Then hurry up and refine it. It's not only unsightly but also uncomfortable for your master to have a hole on his head all day long." The old man looked at Yan Li and said.
"Grandmaster, if I can refine the Violent Restoring Pill, would that be considered as saving a member of the Gu family?" Although he had to refine the pill himself, wouldn't it be killing two birds with one stone if he could successfully enter the Gu family by refining the Violent Restoring Pill?
