Chapter 276: Famous Across the Central Plains! The Leader of the Yao Clan!
The Shenglong Mountain Range, covered in a thick mist, resembled an ethereal wonderland.
Gu Fei and his companions hovered in mid-air, gazing down at this legendary holy land for alchemists. The dense energy of heaven and earth swirled through the air, forming beams of light that looked like rainbows stretching across the sky.
"So much pure energy here, the Yao Clan sure picked a good spot!" Xiao Yi Xian couldn't help but exclaim.
Gu Fei noticed her bright eyes fixated on the distance, and a gentle smile appeared in his eyes. He knew that a place like this would naturally pique her interest. This was like an amplified version of the small valley in the Magic Beast Mountain Range from years ago. Cai Lin and Qing Lin nodded in agreement. Everyone could clearly feel that the energy in this place was at least ten times richer than in the outside world. If one cultivated here, a single day would be equivalent to months outside.
His gaze swept over the clouds rolling above the mountains. What appeared to be normal mist was actually concentrated, pure energy from heaven and earth.
Just then, a commotion erupted in the distance. A group of cultivators was flying toward them.
When these people spotted him, their eyes filled were with awe. It was no surprise- his name had become incredibly well-known among the continent's top experts.
"That's... the Young Master of the Gu Clan, Gu Fei!"
"I didn't expect even him to attend this Medicinal Ceremony. Looks like…"
"Shh! Don't say too much, we mustn't forget our clan's manners!"
The surrounding chatter grew louder as his arrival clearly caused a stir. Many people nodded toward him, their faces adorned with flattering smiles. Gu Fei, however, was used to this kind of attention and remained unfazed. The world was always like this, and he had long since become numb to these faces. He nodded slightly in response to their greetings.
Afterward, he led the women with him through a massive archway in mid-air. The scene ahead suddenly opened up before them.
A vast expanse stretched out before their eyes. The energy here was even more concentrated, and the air was filled with a strange fragrance of medicinal herbs.
In the distance, several massive birds appeared. These were emerald green from head to toe, with wings that spanned ten meters wide, giving them an imposing presence.
"The birds will take us to Medicine Mountain," said a member of the Yao Clan, pointing at the giant birds.
Gu Fei and his companions leapt onto the birds' backs. With a long cry, the birds spread their wings and soared toward the towering Medicine Mountain in the distance. They flew for about half an hour, during which they admired the unique scenery of the Yao Realm. Below, all sorts of rare and exotic plants bloomed, some emitting seven-colored lights, while others released misty clouds, creating a stunning spectacle.
Gradually, the birds began to slow down. Gu Fei looked ahead and saw the clouds parting, revealing an enormous mountain that stretched into the sky. Atop the mountain were countless palaces and buildings, with columns of smoke rising into the air, filled with the rich scent of medicinal herbs. The fragrance contained an incredibly pure energy that made anyone who smelled it feel refreshed and revitalized.
"Young Master, your arrival truly honors our clan," said an elderly man as he descended from the sky, landing in front of Gu Fei and the others with a smile. He glanced at Gu Fei for a moment, then bowed slightly, his tone filled with respect.
This man was Yao Wangui, the Punishment Elder of the Yao Clan.
He had crossed paths with Gu Fei before and had personally witnessed his strength. He knew that with his achievements, he was destined to inherit the position of Gu Clan Leader in the future.
"Elder Wangui, you're too kind," Gu Fei replied with a faint smile. Since the elder was being polite, he offered a courteous response in return.
"Young Master is too modest. Please follow me, and I'll escort you to Medicine Mountain," Yao Wangui said, gesturing for him and the others to follow. Just then, another figure flew toward them from the distance.
The newcomer was a stern-looking elderly man with fiery red hair and an aura of immense power- he was a Six-Star Dou Saint.
"Haha, this must be Young Master Gu Fei! Welcome to the Yao Clan!" the red-haired elder greeted heartily.
Although Gu Fei hadn't met him before, he immediately deduced that this was Yao Wanhuo. With the emotional value system's feedback, he was never wrong about such things.
"Elder Wanhuo, you flatter me!" Gu Fei responded. "It's truly an honor to be welcomed by both of you esteemed elders of the Yao Clan."
Gu Fei nodded slightly, a smile on his face.
Yao Wanhuo and Yao Wangui exchanged glances, a flicker of surprise in their eyes. They hadn't expected him to be so young, yet possess such composure. No wonder he was the Young Master of the Gu Clan- he was indeed extraordinary.
But more than his demeanor, what surprised them was the powerful Dou Qi emanating from Gu Fei.
"Young Master, please follow us," Yao Wanhuo gestured.
The three of them walked side by side, flying toward the peak of Medicine Mountain. Xiao Yi Xian, Cai Lin, and the others followed closely behind, their eyes full of curiosity.
Finally, the group reached the summit. As far as the eye could see, the mountain top was covered with fields of medicinal plants that stretched like a vast ocean. Colorful herb fields extended all the way to the horizon.
Above this sea of herbs, a massive floating plaza hovered in mid-air. Each of the four corners of the plaza had a huge medicinal cauldron, from which fragrant smoke rose in columns, reaching the heavens.
At that moment, the floating platform was already crowded with people. A constant buzz of excited conversations filled the air, making the mountain top lively.
"Young Master, please this way," Yao Wanhuo gestured, leading him and his companions to the VIP seats. From this vantage point, they had a clear view of the entire plaza.
As his gaze swept over the crowd, he suddenly noticed a familiar figure. It was a handsome young man standing not far away, glancing over at him.
When Yao Tian's eyes met his, a flicker of panic crossed his face, and he quickly lowered his head.
Gu Fei smiled but said nothing. This man had once challenged him in the Gu Realm, but he hadn't been present at the time. Now, it was clear that Yao Tian no longer had his former arrogance. He didn't even dare to meet his gaze.
At that moment, a deep bell tolled through the air. Hearing this, he looked up to see the clouds in the sky suddenly swirling, then parting. A white-robed, white-haired elder slowly emerged from the clouds.
With each step he took, the space beneath his feet rippled with a strange energy, as if the once empty void had become solid under his steps.
"Welcome, Clan Leader!"
The resounding greeting echoed through the sky. Every member of the Yao Clan bowed their heads respectfully, their gazes filled with reverence as they looked at the elder.
