Chapter 144: 144 First Rank Peak (Third update asking for monthly tickets)

After about half a day, the Sword Saint finally descended from the sky and landed in the yard. He said, “Within a few months, that disciple of the Nether Sect won’t come again.”
Gu Yang gave a polite bow and solemnly said, “Thanks to your intervention, elder.”
This was heartfelt appreciation. It was because of the Sword Saint’s intervention, attacking and injuring the powerfully-maned disciple of the Nether Sect, that Gu Yang’s dead-end was broken.
If the Sword Saint didn’t heed his plea, he would be helpless.
Therefore, he was incredibly grateful.
Perhaps the other person did not realize that his intervention just saved Gu Yang’s life.
Now, all Gu Yang needed to do was wait for Jing Haiwang to break through.
Only the golden-bodied disciple of the Shen family was left, who couldn’t cause any more trouble.
With the matter concluded, he took his leave.
Huangfude suddenly said, “Young friend, if you have spare time, you can come here and join me for a cup of tea.”
Before this, his attitude towards Gu Yang had been for the sake of Jing Haiwang’s face. Now, he was truly seeing the young man in a new light.
“Yes.”
Gu Yang was naturally happy to make friends with the Sword Saint. Even though he had injuries, he was incomparable to an ordinary Divine Realm cultivator.
After leaving the unassuming courtyard, the gloom in Gu Yang’s heart was swept away, a deadly situation was just solved like that.
Having only used the simulator four times, one could say efficiency was incredibly high.
He remembered how he had been killed countless times by Yi Yi in the simulator in the past, to find a solution.
Conveniently, on the way back, he made a detour to the money tree and cashed all the two million silver tickets given to him by Pei Qianlan.
The bank told him it would take two days to gather such a large amount.
Gu Yang could only wait two more days.
Even in a city like Jingzhou, known for its thriving commerce, it would still take the largest bank two days to gather two million silver coins.
One could imagine how hard it was to manage the physical silver coins.
He thought about the Xia Dynasty treasure again
Right!
Thinking of the treasure, Gu Yang naturally thought of the pirates, after all, he would often watch Pirate King when he was young.
Wasn’t the father of Lei Hao of Dragon Gate Island a Pirate King?
Since he was a Pirate King, it was normal for him to leave a large amount of treasure after his death.
Pirates are always looting, naturally, they wouldn’t put the looted money in the bank, and certainly not all their money in their lair.
As the son of the Pirate King, most of that wealth must have been inherited by Lei Hao.
This was a road to riches.
Gu Yang’s eyes sparkled.
After Jing Haiwang breaks through to the Divine Realm, he’d find an opportunity to persuade him to make an early attack on Dragon Gate Island; not only to avenge Pei Qianlan’s parents but also to quickly treat Pei Qianlan’s injuries.
This was a trifecta of good fortune.
After two days, Gu Yang went to the bank and exchanged over two million taels of silver for physical silver; a portion in gold and a part in silver, and hired people to carry it back to the mansion.
After the people left, he loaded all the money into the system, and the balance became six hundred and thirty thousand.
Just as Gu Yang was about to start the simulation, he suddenly heard footsteps outside. His heart moved, and he stood up, opened the door, and walked out.
He saw Xu Ruomei in a white dress gracefully approaching from outside, her hands behind her back, her eyes downcast, not daring to look at him. Her shy demeanor held a different kind of charm.
She stopped in front of him, seeming to finally muster the courage to take out the object hidden behind her, handed it to him, and whispered, “I’m giving this to you.”
After saying this, her ears were flushed red, and she turned and ran.
Gu Yang watched her floating figure, stunned, “When did she recover her cultivation?”
When he had seen her last time, she had no trace of True Essence in her body.
In just two days, she had amazingly recovered to the sixth-grade cultivator level.
“Could it be, the question I asked her that day?”
Gu Yang didn’t know how to feel about this. With the evil sword technique she was cultivating, the higher her cultivation, the closer she was to severing her ties with the mortal world.
He lowered his gaze to the object in his hand. It was a sachet, finely embroidered and filled with various fragrant herbs. Among them, there was also a strand of hair.
