My Silly, Sweet Wife

Wu Sheng heard this and exchanged a smile with Feng Yuanshan: ”Haha, I was too hasty, too hasty!”

At that moment, someone reported wanting to see Wu Sheng.

Wu Sheng waved his hand.

A soldier quickly walked in.

”What’s the matter?” Wu Sheng raised his eyes and asked solemnly.

The soldier glanced at Feng Yuanshan, hesitated and stopped.

Wu Sheng gestured with his hand: ”This is Mr. Feng, my close friend. Speak freely.”

”Yes!” The soldier quickly bowed: ”Commander Wu, I have something to report. The ghost market has been sealed, yet curiously, people from the Dan God Sect come and go easily. This matter is rather strange, and I thought it necessary to mention it to you.”

”Hmm?” Wu Sheng straightened up upon hearing this, glanced at Feng Yuanshan: ”Mr. Feng, what do you think?”

Feng Yuanshan analyzed: ”I was there when the ghost market was sealed. Though strong ones are not many in the market, because of its uniqueness, once under lockdown, no one can enter or exit. As far as I know, the ghost market was sealed to prevent information about it from being sent out by those in the hidden gate. Although the Dan God Sect is an Alchemy Dao sect, it is indeed part of the hidden gate, logically, they should not be able to freely enter and exit.”

Wu Sheng looked at the soldier and continued: ”Yes, Mr. Feng, we have investigated many details, seemingly only the people from the Dan God Sect can freely enter and exit, which is indeed strange.”

Feng Yuanshan pondered for a moment, then asked the soldier: ”Was there anything different when the people from the Dan God Sect went in?”

”Oh, they recruited a new disciple, other than that, there was no abnormality,” the soldier replied promptly.

”New disciple?” Feng Yuanshan continued: ”What does the new disciple look like?”

The soldier recalled for a moment and described Ye Guichen’s appearance in general.

Upon hearing this, Feng Yuanshan slapped the table abruptly: ”My goodness, this person looks very much like the Son of Netherworld Emperor! Quick, Commander Wu, find a way to catch up with them immediately, and if possible, bring them back.”

Wu Sheng was taken aback at this, somewhat puzzled: ”Mr. Feng, is that possible? According to you, Ye Guichen does have good cultivating talent. When you were in the ghost market, he seemed nearly at the Qi Refiner’s level, such achievements at a young age are indeed genius-level. But, you say he was recruited by the Dan God Sect as a new disciple, which is quite unfathomable, isn’t it? As far as I know, Dan God Sect is incredibly proud, and wouldn’t accept anyone not gifted in alchemy. Haha, you’re not suggesting that Ye Guichen is both an alchemy genius and a cultivation genius, are you? Such people in this world are extremely rare, like finding a needle in a haystack.”

Feng Yuanshan shook his head: ”Commander Wu, better safe than sorry. If we, under Yan King’s command, make the right move, we will soar high. However, missing this opportunity would render previous efforts useless. Moreover, in the future, you must be careful with your words; refer to him as Young Master, not by name directly, as a friend, that’s my advice.”

Though somewhat unconvinced, Wu Sheng saw Feng Yuanshan’s serious expression and finally nodded: ”Alright, I’ll immediately send someone to do it.”

Upon saying this, Wu Sheng looked up and spoke to the soldier: ”You immediately take a small squad to follow them. Do not engage nor reveal their whereabouts. Simply convey that I have something important to discuss with them, in any case, ensure they are brought back, understand?”

The soldier nodded and turned to leave.

Meanwhile, Ye Guichen and his group had traveled several dozen miles.

Being Qi Refiners, their pace was no less swift than galloping horses, and with protective pills, they felt no fatigue at all.

Along the way, Ye Guichen was awed.

This place seemed like an entirely different world, even like an ancient era.

Ye Guichen originally thought this place would be more advanced than the mundane world, expecting cars and airplanes.

But Ye Guichen was mistaken.

There was little modern technology here.

After a brief inquiry, Ye Guichen understood that modern technologies were seen as dispensable within the hidden gate, having no real use.

For example, cars.

Once becoming a Qi Refiner, traveling on foot suffices, using cars would be a waste instead.

Moreover, in their eyes, overly modern items disrupt the purity of spiritual energy, causing it to become even scarcer.

Here, cultivation is revered, everything is premised on ensuring an abundance of spiritual energy.

Ye Guichen also clearly felt that the spiritual energy here was much denser than outside, even several times more than Xianju Mountain.

No wonder everyone with some skills wants to enter the hidden gate.

The concentration of spiritual energy here greatly benefits cultivation.

However, the imagined scene of sword flight wasn’t found, evidently people’s cultivation here hasn’t reached such levels.

Furthermore, they encountered few Qi Refiners along the road.

It seems Qi Refiners are quite rare here.

”Don’t look down on the few Qi Refiners here; those who become one, from small town’s City Lords to commanders of the Seven Kings, can usually gain prestige. As for higher realm cultivators, they rarely appear, and those who break through the Qi Refining Realm become like feudal lords. Take our Dan God Sect for example, reportedly once had a single Foundation Establishment master, and just that one made our sect flourish for three hundred years!”

”Foundation Establishment master?” Ye Guichen heard a new term: ”Brother Ren, once breaking the Qi Refining Realm, one can reach Foundation Establishment Realm?”

”Yes, Foundation Establishment master, haha, but don’t think about it, such masters could easily annihilate the Seven Kings,” Ren Wobai laughed, eyes filled with yearning.

Ye Guichen no longer spoke, but silently noted the term.

Foundation Establishment!

Yes, with some more effort, I’m not far from Foundation Establishment.

Moreover, according to Ren Wobai, the hidden gate’s name stems from an actual door.

That door is enormous like the legendary South Heavenly Gate, towering a hundred feet tall, yet seemingly never opened since the hidden gate’s existence.

Rumors say beyond the hidden gate lies the fairy realm, with Immortals descending.

Another legend suggests the hidden gate encloses countless monstrous beasts.

Opening the door would unleash a catastrophic disaster.

Since the hidden gate’s inception, everyone wished to explore the world beyond the door, but none succeeded.

This world is vast; even the Seven Kings’ territories occupy only a portion.

”Make way, make way! Everyone move aside!”

While Ye Guichen and his group rushed forward, sudden shouts erupted ahead.

Ye Guichen looked up and saw dust rolling, a group of people hurriedly rushing toward them.

Over a hundred people were approaching, with dozens on horseback in uniform upfront, a sedan chair in the center, and soldiers holding spears followed behind.
