The Xuanqi Mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, and the mountain path is rugged and winding.

If one is not very familiar with Xuanqi Mountain, it is easy to get lost in this place.

The family of the Seventh Uncle has been ginseng pickers for generations, dealing with the big mountain for centuries.

When he traverses the mountains, he moves as if on flat ground, as fast as if flying.

Gu Ting and Gu Cheng are both Martial Artists in the Gang Qi Realm, so their pace is naturally not slow.

"Huh?"

After walking a while, Gu Ting looked at Zhang Xiaoshan and Xia He in surprise, then said.

"I didn't realize before, but you two are Martial Artists as well."

Gu Ting initially thought that Zhang Xiaoshan and Xia He certainly wouldn't be able to keep up.

Unexpectedly, after walking such a long distance, the breath of Zhang Xiaoshan and Xia He showed not the slightest fluctuation.

Clearly, the two of them are also Martial Artists.

Zhang Xiaoshan did not respond to Gu Ting's words.

However, Xia He sneered coldly and said, "The reason you couldn't tell we're Martial Artists before is simply because your skills are too lacking."

Upon hearing Xia He's words, Miss Gu Ting immediately became displeased.

"How dare you speak to me like that?"

"Do you want to see what I can do?"

At other times, in other places, others would give way to Gu Ting.

The encounter with Zhang Xiaoshan and Xia He was completely different this time.

Zhang Xiaoshan seemed to completely ignore her, and Xia He seized every chance to taunt her and oppose her!

Xia He glanced at Gu Ting with disdain and then said:

"Let's not waste time, let's continue on our way."

She had no intention of clashing with Gu Ting. Even if she wasn't skilled in fighting, how could this newcomer to the Gang Qi realm be a match for her?

"Ahem..."

"Little sister, don't cause trouble!"

Gu Cheng, feeling a bit of a headache, sternly scolded his sister.

Then he turned to Zhang Xiaoshan and Xia He and said:

"My sister is a bit mischievous, please don't take it to heart, you two."

Gu Cheng's ability to interact with others is commendable.

Although he didn't think Zhang Xiaoshan and Xia He were any big characters,

he was always courteous to everyone, showing the demeanor of a gentleman.

"No problem, let's continue our journey."

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded slightly, indicating they should continue on their way.

The group immediately continued through the forest; this forest is full of twists and turns, extremely winding and tortuous.

After a while, Zhang Xiaoshan understood why Xia He, being a disciple of the Xuanqi Sect, was not as familiar with the mountain path as the Seventh Uncle.

Because the mountain paths here are simply too complex.

The Seventh Uncle goes into the mountains to pick ginseng every year, while Xia He and the others might not enter or leave the Xuanqi Sect many times throughout the year.

As a result, they are naturally not very familiar with the mountain paths.

"How much longer until we get there?"

After about two hours of travel, Gu Ting couldn't help but ask.

They were traveling very fast, having covered a long distance in those two hours.

But the location of the Xuanqi Sect's gate is really too far away.

They had traveled so long and still hadn't arrived.

"Another hour or so, we should be there."

The Seventh Uncle carefully observed the surroundings, then said.

He is neither a Martial Artist nor understands formations, but he knows the wonders of Xuanqi Mountain.

This mountain undergoes changes.

Some areas might have a path this time but not the next.

Such words might sound absurd, but it is indeed true.

The Seventh Uncle's judgment was undoubtedly correct too.

After about another hour, the Seventh Uncle really led everyone to the gate of the Xuanqi Sect.

There, they could already see several disciples of the Xuanqi Sect standing guard.

These disciples clearly recognized the Seventh Uncle too.

Seeing the Seventh Uncle bringing people again, one disciple spoke up unhappily.

"Chen Qi, you're quite daring!"

"What did we tell you last time?"

"This period is special, you're not permitted to bring people here again."

"Are you just ignoring our words?"

This Xuanqi Sect disciple was dressed in a dark blue robe, with a rather sharp face.

The reason they allowed these ginseng pickers to bring people over is that they can receive some benefit fees from them.

Ginseng pickers only have to bring people over to receive their reward, whether the newcomers have the ability to enter the Xuanqi Sect is a different matter.

"Uh..."

The Seventh Uncle was in a bit of a bind; he had received the notice before.

He was told not to bring people over during this time.

However, this time Zhang Xiaoshan and Xia He offered a lot of reward, and Gu Cheng and Gu Ting did likewise.

It's not that he intentionally wanted to violate the rules of the Xuanqi Sect, but Zhang Xiaoshan and the others gave too much.

"What's with all the stuttering?"

"I think you're just itching for a beating!"

The blue-robed disciple said as he took a few steps forward.

But at this moment, Gu Cheng hurriedly stepped forward with a big smile.

Then he took out a porcelain bottle.

In this porcelain bottle, there were three well-formed small Pei Yuan Pills.

"Senior brother, I am Gu Cheng, the eldest son of Divine Realm Master Gu Changtian from Sichuan."

"This time I wish to visit the Xuanqi Sect to seek a fine Magic Artifact and hope senior brother can make it convenient for us."
