Chapter 246: Three Teammates

“That little girl, she was picked up two days ago when you were in closed-door cultivation,” Little Nine curled her lips and said.

During the time when Gu Xi had recovered her cultivation, Fang Qingshan had also personally come to the Medicine King Valley and forcefully dragged his precious daughter back to Moyu Tower.

At first, Fang Qinyu was unwilling to go back no matter what, but this time, Fang Qingshan’s attitude was unyielding. No matter what, he would not let her run around outside.

“It’s good to go back.” Gu Xi smiled helplessly.

If anything happened to Fang Qinyu when she followed him outside, it would be troublesome if Fang Qingshan held him responsible.

Moreover, the two of them were not from the same world after all.

Fang Qinyu should continue to return to the Moyu Tower and cultivate steadily. She might be famous throughout the entire Southern Continent one day in the future. However, Gu Xi had to return to the Eastern Continent in the end, there was still a series of things waiting for him to deal with there.

At this moment, Wu Nanshan, who was dressed in white, arrived. He looked carefully at Gu Xi in front of him and said with a smile, “It seems that you have recovered well.”

“It’s all thanks to Elder Wu’s help. I will never forget such a favor,” Gu Xi cupped his hands and said with gratitude.

If it were not for Wu Nanshan, it would have been impossible for him to recover his cultivation base by himself. He did not know how long it would take him to do it.

Hearing this, Wu Nanshan waved his hand humbly. However, he was very surprised in his heart.

As a cultivator who had stepped into the Saint stage, he could sense the huge difference between the current Gu Xi and the previous two. However, what made him feel strange was that even though he was in the Saint stage, he still could not see through Gu Xi’s true cultivation!

Although Gu Xi did not give him the same sense of danger as Little Nine, his intuition told him that even so, this man in front of him should not be underestimated!

“Oh right, I came here today mainly to introduce you to a few people.”

Wu Nanshan clapped his hands, and immediately three figures quickly rushed over from the distance.

Two men and a woman, one of whom was Cao Hua.

Gu Xi did not pay attention to this fellow. After all, this fellow had deliberately made things difficult for him previously, which made him feel extremely displeased. However, since he was currently in the Medicine King Valley and Wu Nanshan had done him a favor, it was also inappropriate for him to say anything more.

Cao Hua seemed to have sensed Gu Xi’s disregard. He gritted his teeth and his gaze moved slightly.

Turning his gaze, Gu Xi’s gaze landed on the two people standing side by side.

This man and woman were tall and strong. Their faces were simple and honest while the woman’s figure was petite. Although her appearance could not be said to be stunning, she appeared extremely adorable.

“I don’t need to introduce Cao Hua. These two are Wang Shi and Liu Qingqing. The three of them and the friend beside you are your teammates in the Spirit-chasing Competition this time.”

Wu Nanshan gave a simple introduction.

Hearing this, Gu Xi raised his eyebrows and could not help but feel a little puzzled.

One had to know that his understanding of the Spirit-chasing Competition was extremely limited.

Seeing the doubt Gu Xi displayed, Wu Nanshan chuckled. He continued, “All the slightly larger sects and influences in the entire Southern Continent will be qualified to participate in the Spirit-chasing Competition. Although our Medicine King Valley’s combat strength isn’t that great, in terms of influence, we are still reputable in the continent. Therefore, our Medicine King Valley has been allocated five spots as in previous years.”

“I see.” Gu Xi nodded in realization.

The five of them would represent the entire Medicine King Valley to participate in the Spirit-chasing Competition!

The five of them were the cream of the crop among the younger generation of the Medicine King Valley!

“There are only four days left until the start of the competition. Today, our Little Friend has just recovered. Why don’t we Rest for a night before we set off for Jia Ping City?”

Jia Ping City was the city that all the participants of this competition were heading to!

There, the Spirit-chasing Competition that was the focus of the entire Southern Continent would be held!

The Medicine King Valley was about a day or two away from Jia Ping City. Setting off early would give them some time to understand the format of the competition.

Gu Xi did not have any objections. After a simple conversation with the few of them, he returned to his residence to rest and wait for the departure.

…

The next day.

Early in the morning, Gu Xi woke up early in the morning. After a simple wash up, he and Little Nine headed straight to the square where the Medicine Refinement Grand Meeting was held that day.

Although the two of them had already left very early, at this moment, more than half of the Medicine King Valley’s disciples had gathered in the square.

A tall platform had been erected in the middle at some point, and Cao Hua and the other two had also arrived early.

“Senior Brother Gu, you’re here.”

Seeing Gu Xi and the other two arrive, Liu Qingqing hurriedly came up to greet them.

“Speaking of which, I joined the Medicine King Valley later than you. You should call me Junior Brother.”

Gu Xi had been in a good mood since his cultivation had recovered yesterday. It was rare for him to tease her.

Hearing this, Wang Shi, who also wanted to go up and greet them, did not know how to address Gu Xi. She scratched his head awkwardly.

Liu Qingqing stuck out her tongue and rolled her eyes.

After all, Gu Xi was a legendary figure who even their Valley Master kneeled down to in front of everyone. The Valley Master even wanted to acknowledge him as his Master!

If he was called Junior Brother, then so be it!

What Gu Xi did not know was that during these few days when he was recovering from his closed-door cultivation, his name swept across the entire Medicine King Valley and even the surrounding areas like the wind. Many people knew that a peerless genius who refined medicine had appeared in the Medicine King Valley.

There were even many people from the surrounding forces who had come to visit Gu Xi in the past two days. However, as Gu Xi was busy recovering his cultivation, these people were all rejected by Wu Nanshan for various reasons.

“We are really fated. I didn’t expect that we would actually become fellow disciples of the same sect,” not far away, Cao Hua hesitated for a moment and also went up to greet Gu Xi.

“It’s indeed quite a coincidence,” Gu Xi said indifferently, not giving him any good looks at all.

Seeing this, Cao Hua could not help but clench his fists. In his heart, he wished that he could teach Gu Xi a lesson right now, but he still held it in.

Now was still not the time!

He really could not understand why the Valley Master would so easily hand over such a precious spot in the Spirit-chasing Competition to someone he had known for a few days.

Liu Qingqing also seemed to have seen that the two of them were not on good terms. She could not help but feel a little curious in her heart, but she also tactfully did not open her mouth to ask.

At the same time, a long rainbow suddenly soared into the sky from the depths of the Medicine King Valley and swiftly rushed over in this direction.

Following it was a mystical fluctuation that only belonged to a Saint.

Gu Xi knew that the person who came was Wu Nanshan.

The long rainbow landed on the ground, revealing Wu Nanshan, who was still dressed in white.

“Everyone, today the disciples of my sect will set off to participate in the Spirit-chasing Competition!”
