Chapter 109 Late Stage of Innate Realm
Chapter 109 Late Stage of Innate Realm
The next day, Gu Qianbei left the capital with the brewing materials that Haitang had prepared for him.
Xiangyang City and Qixia Town are in opposite directions, so Gu Qianbei did not use the Wine Tracking Approach to go directly to Qixia Town, but instead chose to travel on horseback.
Once they reached a secluded spot, Gu Qianbei took out the black horse that he had been keeping in the Cangguang Gourd's storage space.
Howling!
Excited neighing of horses immediately resounded in all directions.
The black horse seemed to have been feeling stifled for a long time, and today it finally saw the light of day again, its whole body brimming with joy.
"It is indeed a fine horse! It is much better than the inferior horse we stole from Black Wind Stronghold before."
Gu Qianbei looked delighted and then mounted his horse.
"Good horse, come on, let's go to Xiangyang!"
As if sensing Gu Qianbei's feelings, Wuzhui galloped away immediately.
The surrounding scenery rushed past us rapidly, the speed feeling like it was almost 80 kilometers per hour.
"As expected of a tyrant's steed, it's truly extraordinary! Hahaha! Giddy up!"
Gu Qianbei squeezed the horse's belly with both legs, and the black horse ran even faster.
He left everyone else in the dust!
Several days later, at night.
Gu Qianbei had already ridden his horse to a dilapidated temple.
"Iron Spear Temple? That name sounds familiar."
Gu Qianbei didn't pay any attention, immediately dismounted, and led the black horse into the courtyard.
The temple was already dilapidated and there wasn't a soul in sight.
"I'll stay here tonight."
Gu Qianbei was quite satisfied with the surrounding environment.
He patted the black horse's head, took out the finest feed from his storage space, and then used golden light to condense a trough and put it in.
"Eat up, little one."
Wuzhui ate happily, while Gu Qianbei went into the temple.
"There's a lot of dust."
Gu Qianbei murmured to himself, then waved his hands, and golden light burst forth. A gust of wind spread outwards from him, blowing all the dust out of the hall.
"That's more like it."
Gu Qianbei smiled with satisfaction.
He took a cushion from his storage space, placed it on the ground, then sat cross-legged on it and opened the system panel.

Seeing the above content, Gu Qianbei nodded in satisfaction.
He had previously received several days' worth of profits from Wang Shijiu, which significantly increased his capital.
He also planned to open a few more branches during this trip.
The "Wine Tracking" feature works best with as many branches as possible.
Also, yesterday, with the help of the power of the Bright Moon, he finally broke through to the late stage of the Innate Realm.
Now, he can be considered a big shot in the martial arts world.
"The effect of the spirit wine in refining internal energy is truly astonishing. This 'Looking at the Bright Moon' is enough to allow my cultivation to reach the pinnacle of the Innate Realm."
Once I find the Bodhi Serpent and brew the Mysterious Serpent Dew, I should be able to officially break through to the Grandmaster realm.
Thinking of this, Gu Qianbei's smile deepened.
Cultivation is nowhere near as fast as using cheat codes.
He has only been cultivating for less than half a year at most.
At that moment, Gu Qianbei lit a fire and took out the marinated roast chicken from Cangguang Gourd, cooking it on the spot.
Since we've traveled back to ancient times, of course we have to refuse pre-made meals.
With storage space available, Gu Qianbei wouldn't deprive herself of good food; she would eat well whenever she wanted.
A bite of roast chicken and a sip of fine wine—that's the beauty of life.
Soon, under Gu Qianbei's roasting, the chicken began to turn golden brown, with oil dripping into the fire, sparking tiny sparks, and a rich aroma permeated the dilapidated temple.
He gently turned the chicken with his fingertips, ensuring it was heated evenly, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"It smells so good!"
Gu Qianbei smelled the roast chicken with satisfaction and sighed.
Seeing that the roast chicken was almost done, he took it off the plate and placed it on the side, intending to let it cool down before eating.
But just then, a gust of wind suddenly swept in from outside, carrying a hint of early autumn chill, causing the campfire to sway from side to side.
Then came faint, intermittent crying sounds, sometimes near, sometimes far, echoing through the dilapidated temple.
If an ordinary person saw this scene, they would probably be scared out of their wits, but Gu Qianbei only frowned slightly, and then a smile appeared on his lips.
But the crying became clearer and clearer.
Gu Qianbei looked outside the dilapidated temple and saw the big trees shaking violently, and the withered grass in the corner of the wall rustling.
Small pebbles even rolled out from the shadows, slowly rolling towards the campfire, as if ghosts were lurking in the dark.
The black horse neighed softly, seemingly startled by the strange noise.
But Gu Qianbei simply got up slowly and walked into the courtyard.
"I wonder which friend is playing tricks here. What's the matter? Come out and say it."
After he finished speaking, no one came out.
Gu Qianbei's gaze swept around and finally settled on a certain spot.
"If you don't come out, I'll have to take action."
Just then, a thin, dark figure suddenly burst through the window and ran into the main hall, rushing towards the fragrant roast chicken with a gust of wind.
He made strange noises, and with his disheveled hair, he really did look somewhat like a vengeful ghost.
Upon closer inspection, however, it was discovered that he was clearly a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old. His clothes were tattered, his hair was messy, and his face was covered in mud, but his eyes were surprisingly bright and full of shrewdness.
"So you came here for the roast chicken."
Gu Qianbei smiled slightly, and just as the boy was about to grab the roast chicken, he flashed and arrived beside the boy.
The moment the boy's hand touched the scalding hot skin of the roast chicken, his wrist was firmly gripped by a warm yet strong hand, rendering him unable to move at all.
"Kid, you've got some nerve, pretending to be a ghost to steal things."
The boy was startled, not expecting the person to be so fast.
It only took the blink of an eye for them to come from outside the main hall.
This thwarted all his previous plans.
The boy knew that he must have encountered a legendary martial arts master.
He struggled a couple of times, but his wrist was gripped tightly and he couldn't break free. So he simply stuck out his neck, raised his head, and stared at Gu Qianbei with his bright eyes, his face full of resentment.
"Let me go! I found this chicken! If you're its owner, I don't want it anymore, okay?"
The rich aroma of roasted chicken wafted around his nose, and the boy's stomach rumbled inappropriately, his bright eyes revealing a longing for food.
Gu Qianbei had already felt the boy's pulse and found that his physical foundation was not bad, and he even had some weak internal energy, but he was somewhat weak.
Judging from the way he broke through the window, he seemed to have learned some rudimentary martial arts, but they were not well-structured.
It seems they were starving, which is why they came up with this way to steal food.
As a time traveler, Gu Qianbei couldn't bear to see children go hungry.
So Gu Qianbei released the boy's wrist, picked up the roast chicken, and handed it over.
