After nearly half a month of travel, the group finally arrived at Gu Huaiyu's mission destination.
The location of the Silent Land wasn't on land, but rather a special part of the starry sky. Countless rocks littered the area, some smaller than a fingernail, while others were as large as islands, floating beneath the stars, inspiring awe.
The group rode the Riftwing Falcon into the Silent Land. Gu Huaiyu, looking at the Silent Land, which was different from what she had imagined, scratched her head and said, "I thought it would be a vast plain, but I didn't expect it to be a starry sky."
Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but laugh, "Silly girl, battlefields that have survived from ancient times were all battlefields for experts at or above the Immortal Realm. Experts above the Immortal Realm can destroy our Profound Sky Dao Domain with a wave of their hands. Only the outer starry sky is worthy of being their battlefield."
When Gu Huaiyu heard "Immortal Realm experts," her eyes lit up, and she excitedly said, "Since it's an Immortal Realm battlefield, could there be treasures left behind by Immortal Realm experts?"
"Even if there are, countless years have passed, it wouldn't be our turn!" Lu Chengfeng said.
"That's true. Alas! What a pity!" Gu Huaiyu sighed. Although she no longer had to worry about a few Source Crystals, she had always been meticulous about Source Crystals since she was a child, and this concept was deeply rooted in her bones, accompanying her through her most difficult days. It would be difficult to change.
"I wonder if I can sell some of the pills that Master gave me to exchange for Source Crystals..."
Gu Huaiyu set her sights on the pills Gu Changsheng had given her. There weren't many Source Crystals in her storage ring, but all kinds of pills were piled up like mountains. She only recognized a few, such as the Life-Death Breaking Barrier Pill and the Nirvana Pill, which could help break through major realms, and another called the Nine Revolutions Life-Extending Pill. She had given Lu Chengfeng a bottle before, and now she still had a pile.
Gu Changsheng, who was drinking, raised an eyebrow when he heard Gu Huaiyu's words. He turned to Gu Huaiyu and said, "Girl!"
"Ah? What's the matter, Master?"
Gu Huaiyu looked at Gu Changsheng. The nickname "girl" was something she had gained in the past half month. She didn't resist it, but instead felt a special sense of intimacy when Master and Sister Lu called her that.
"Are you very short on Source Crystals?" Gu Changsheng asked.
Gu Huaiyu nodded and said, "The Purple Qi Comes From the East Technique that you taught me consumes too much. I used almost all the Source Crystals on my body when I broke through to the Life-Death Realm."
Gu Changsheng nodded. Gu Huaiyu's talent wasn't top-notch, and was even a few levels worse than the other senior sisters of the Lihun Peak. The Purple Qi Comes From the East Technique was a technique that Gu Changsheng had tailored for Gu Huaiyu. In the process of cultivation, the Purple Qi Comes From the East Technique would subtly enhance Gu Huaiyu's aptitude, and the higher the realm, the stronger the effect of the Purple Qi Comes From the East Technique. In theory, this technique had no upper limit on its effect on Gu Huaiyu.
In addition, due to the consideration of the Purple Qi cultivator path, the Purple Qi Comes From the East Technique had become a gold-eating monster.
In the mortal world, the physique that consumes the most resources in cultivation is recognized as the Ancient Sacred Body. The resources consumed for each major realm breakthrough increase geometrically. To cultivate a Great Completion Sacred Body, at least 80% of the resources of a Sacred Ground would be consumed, but the Gu family was rich and could withstand the consumption of the Ancient Sacred Body.
The resources required for Gu Huaiyu's Purple Qi Comes From the East Technique were no less than those of the Ancient Sacred Body, and even, to some extent, consumed more resources than the Ancient Sacred Body.
Just the consumption of nearly 100,000 high-grade Source Crystals when Gu Huaiyu broke through to the Life-Death Realm, and when Gu Huaiyu broke through to the Saint Realm, ordinary Source Crystals would no longer work, but Divine Source was needed to continue cultivation.
The price to catch up with the top geniuses acquired the day after tomorrow is naturally not small.
"Girl, I still have some Source Crystals here, I'll give them to you first!" When Lu Chengfeng heard that Gu Huaiyu was short of Source Crystals, she quickly wanted to give Gu Huaiyu her savings of many years.
But since Gu Changsheng was here, how could he let a junior take out Source Crystals? He waved his hand and said, "Quickly take it back, your teacher is here, it's not your turn."
Lu Chengfeng shrank her neck, stuck her tongue out at Gu Changsheng, and then made no further movements.
Gu Changsheng nodded very satisfied, then took out a dark bag. He opened the bag and said to Gu Huaiyu with an unchanged expression, "Come, let me tell you what kind of pills can be sold for what price!"
"..." The two women.
"Gaa!"
The Riftwing Falcon shouted twice at this time, the meaning was self-evident.
"Go, go, go, you little cub who can't drink, do you believe I'll sell you to exchange for Source Crystals?" Gu Changsheng scolded with a smile.
"Teacher, why don't I do it." Lu Chengfeng looked at Gu Changsheng, such a strong person, but he was playing with the Riftwing Falcon like a child, a little dumbfounded. In the past half month, Gu Changsheng's words and deeds really broke the image of a senior expert that had remained in her mind before.
However, Lu Chengfeng was very envious of her teacher. Perhaps the teacher had truly reached the realm of carefree freedom, his strength surpassed all things in nature, but he was in harmony with all things in nature. In front of the teacher, she truly felt what is meant by equality for all beings.
"No need!" Gu Changsheng shook his head and said, "Someone is here to send us Source Crystals!"
"Huh?" Lu Chengfeng was puzzled.
"Master, Sister Lu, there are people ahead!"
Just as Lu Chengfeng was puzzled, Gu Huaiyu pointed to a huge meteorite thousands of feet ahead. On top of the meteorite, there were a dozen figures standing. These figures were covering their faces with magic tools, and their aura was erratic, making it difficult to see their faces and to determine their cultivation.
But among the three people present, except for Gu Huaiyu who couldn't see through the other party, Gu Changsheng and Lu Chengfeng saw through the other party's disguise at a glance.
"These people seem to be star pirates from the Silent Land," Lu Chengfeng said.
"Star pirates?" Gu Huaiyu asked in confusion, "Are they equivalent to bandits and robbers in the mortal world?"
Lu Chengfeng said, "The nature is the same, but these star pirates are more ferocious. They not only seek wealth, but also harm lives. Generally, people who encounter star pirates in the Silent Land basically die without a whole corpse."
Bandits and robbers in the mortal world have their own strongholds. Generally, unless they are perverts, they will not kill them all, but star pirates are different. They seek both wealth and harm lives. They are rats crossing the street that everyone shouts to beat.
"I see." Gu Huaiyu nodded, understanding the difference between the two.
"It's just that these star pirates are unlucky to meet us today." After Lu Chengfeng finished speaking, she stood up and sacrificed the Phoenix Cry Blade.
And the Phoenix Cry Blade also made a "buzzing" sound.
Whether it is a knife or a sword, as long as it is newly made, it needs to see blood once. In the eyes of their knife repairers, it is called the "Knife Completion Ceremony."
