178: Please eat hot pot and learn about the holy and forbidden areas!

Guo Feng, along with Sima Yun Shen and his crew, crossed a nearly one-kilometer-wide mountain gully from the Holy Land Plaza via an Iron Chain Bridge.

They arrived at a very quiet compound built halfway up the mountain.

This compound had three courtyards in and three courtyards out.

It had everything one could wish for.

"Guo Feng, this is Sima Hui's old residence. There are five servants; you can find them if you need anything!" Sima Yun Shen said, pointing to the five servants beside him.

These five servants were all over forty years old.

Three men and two women.

They all smiled at Guo Feng.

Guo Feng nodded: "Alright."

Sima Yun Shen then said, "I know Sima Hui is currently in America for a United Nations meeting, so it might be difficult to get him back immediately. And if he doesn't return, this matter cannot be resolved."

He paused, looking at Guo Feng, "So, you might have to wait here for several days."

"It's fine, I'll treat it as a vacation."

Guo Feng smiled.

Sima Yun Shen looked speechless.

Am I worried about him?

I'm worried about the Holy Land, alright!

However, he didn't say much more, instead giving a few instructions, especially telling Guo Feng not to go to the forbidden area casually.

Then, he left with Sima Qingfeng and the others.

After they left, Guo Feng shrugged and looked at the quiet courtyard again.

It was actually quite nice.

Just a bit lonely.

He then got to know the five servants. Seeing that it was almost noon, he smiled at one of the servants: "Old Yu, go and invite Sima Qingfeng, Sima Wan, as well as Zhang Yi from the Zhang Family and the little darling Liu Nian Su from the Liu Family. Tell them that since I'm new here, I'm treating them to hotpot and beer. If anyone doesn't come, I'll personally go to their door and chop them."

"Ah?!" Old Yu's eyes widened.

The four people Guo Feng mentioned were the cream of the crop among the Holy Land's prodigies. Is this young master really so fierce?

He'll chop them if they don't come?

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry, go, go!" Guo Feng waved his hand quickly.

Old Yu dared not hesitate and quickly left.

Subsequently, Guo Feng took out a large pile of hotpot ingredients from his space.

Beef balls, tripe, gizzard, and so on.

Twenty minutes later.

An ancient wooden square table, of unknown age, was moved to the front courtyard.

The hotpot on the portable stove was already steaming.

The table was covered with various hotpot ingredients.

Beer, drinks, and Maotai were placed around.

The aroma was fragrant.

"Wow, it smells so good! I've never smelled anything so fragrant!"

The first to enter the Zihui Courtyard was Liu Nian Su, the little foodie from the Liu Family.

She was wearing a light green long dress.

Cute and beautiful.

Smelling the hotpot, crystal clear drool appeared at the corners of her mouth.

"Little Su Su, sit down." Guo Feng waved his hand, "I came in a hurry and didn't prepare much, but when you go outside, I'll treat you to even better food!"

"Okay, okay!" Liu Nian Su nodded like a pecking chick, "Guo Feng, you are so nice!"

"Hehe." Guo Feng looked proud.

Just then, Sima Qingfeng and Sima Wan walked in reluctantly.

They had just been violently beaten by Guo Feng.

Besides Liu Nian Su, who the hell would want to show up for Guo Feng?

However, as soon as they thought of Guo Feng's eccentric and audacious behavior, saying he would chop people, he might actually chop people!

But as soon as they entered and smelled the hotpot, their stomachs rumbled.

"Big Brother Sima Hui, Sister Wan'er, come quickly! Guo Feng is so good; he's treating us to so much delicious food! This pickled pepper chicken feet is really good, come and try it!" Liu Nian Su was a little darling, but not foolish.

When you eat someone's food, you speak softly.

Seeing Sima Qingfeng and the other come, she quickly ran over and pulled them to sit down.

Guo Feng also greeted them.

Not long after, Old Yu walked in with Zhang Yi, who was the furthest away.

Zhang Yi was still wearing a snow-white robe.

However, because Guo Feng had no entanglement with the Zhang Family, he was quite polite to Guo Feng.

As soon as he entered, he cupped his hands: "Guo Feng, thank you for the invitation."

"No need to be polite. We are all fine young people, and in the future, we will all serve the country, protect our homes, and defend our nation. We are all comrades, please sit!" Guo Feng greeted everyone to take their seats.

Everyone prepared their dipping sauces and, under Guo Feng's introduction, ate and drank.

After a few bottles of beer, the atmosphere became familiar.

Guo Feng told them about the customs outside, and everyone briefly talked to Guo Feng about interesting stories of the Ancient Martial Holy Land.

While they were eating, Old Yu brought several plates of meat sliced as thin as cicada wings.

Guo Feng quickly said, "This is Level 25 spiritual wolf meat I hunted in the spiritual realm. It tastes very good; everyone, have a taste. It costs tens of thousands per kilogram outside!" Saying that, he invited everyone to blanch it!

Indeed, the meat quality of spirit beasts was incomparable to ordinary meat, plus it was well marinated.

Everyone who ate it said it was good.

At this moment, Liu Nian Su said, "This meat is so delicious! Before, we hunted a spiritual beast wild rabbit near the forbidden area, but its meat quality couldn't compare to this."

"There are spirit beasts in the forbidden area?" Guo Feng raised an eyebrow.

Liu Nian Su quickly said, "Yes, spiritual energy is emitted from inside the forbidden area, so over time, wild beasts turn into spiritual beasts."

"Nian Su!" At this moment, Sima Qingfeng frowned and quickly stopped her, "The forbidden area is not something you and I can discuss. Don't talk nonsense!"

"Oh!" Liu Nian Su quickly covered her mouth.

"That's right, the forbidden area shouldn't be discussed casually. If it can't be said, let's not say it." Guo Feng smiled and nodded.

Afterward, he continued to eat and drink with everyone until around two in the afternoon, when the gathering dispersed.

His relationship with the few people had improved significantly.

After seeing them off, Guo Feng returned to his bedroom and began cultivating the Xuan Huang True Dragon Art.

He wanted to improve his strength as quickly as possible.

In a flash, he cultivated until early morning.

He absorbed twenty-eight spiritual energy primordial stones in one go.

"Hmm, my body strength has reached 8765, almost reaching the strength of Level 43!" Guo Feng stretched lazily.

He stood up.

He smiled, "The forbidden area can transmit spiritual energy. Is it a spiritual realm like the Shu Mountain Sword Sect? Since I'm here, why don't I go and take a look?"

"If I'm careful, I won't be discovered, right?" Thinking of this, he instantly teleported to a large tree outside the courtyard.

He looked closely.

There were indeed hidden sentries watching!

However, he could teleport, so how could the sentries stop him?

Soon, he cautiously shot out towards the outside of the Sima Clan's territory.
