72: Chapter 72 Settling Down and Planning

The efficiency of the Four Seas Firm, driven by the "power of money," reached an extreme.

In less than half an hour, the title deeds for "Gu Garden," a top-tier luxury mansion in Baifeng City, were fully processed and respectfully delivered to Gu Yan.

The manager of the firm even personally appeared, broke the leg of the buck-toothed steward who had previously looked down on them, and threw him out of the firm in front of Gu Yan.

Gu Yan didn't even spare a second glance.

He took the deed, symbolizing a new beginning for the Gu Family, and returned to the inn.

When the massive Gu Family convoy, led by a guide sent by the firm, drove toward "Gu Garden" in the east of the city, the news that "The outsider Gu Clan spent a fortune to buy the Chen Family's Gu Garden" spread like a gust of wind through the upper circles of Baifeng City.

...

Gu Garden was located at the foot of "Cuiwei Mountain," on the east side of Baifeng City.

This place was a quiet sanctuary amidst the noise, recognized as the top-tier wealthy district in the city.

As the Gu Family convoy slowly entered the area, everyone in the convoy, including Gu Yan, truly understood the meaning of the word "luxury mansion."

On both sides of the road, there were no ordinary residences.

Instead, there were vast mansions, each with different styles—some grand and imposing, others exquisite and elegant.

In front of every mansion stood fierce-looking guards. Hanging above the doorways were plaques like "Li Residence," "Wang Residence," and "Sun Residence," all showcasing the extraordinary status of their owners.

And Gu Garden was the one with the best location and the largest area in this luxury district.

When the convoy finally stopped under a huge archway, three zhang high and carved from a single piece of white marble, all the members of the Gu Family couldn't help but let out a heartfelt gasp of amazement!

Behind the archway lay a massive garden covering nearly a hundred acres!

Pavilions and towers, carved beams and painted pillars, small bridges and flowing water, winding paths leading to secluded spots...

Rockeries, emerald lakes, bamboo forests, gardens...

Every step revealed a new scene, beautiful beyond compare, like a fairyland on earth!

What made everyone feel most refreshed was the Spiritual Qi in the air, so dense it was almost tangible!

Just by standing here and taking a deep breath, everyone felt as if the thirty-six thousand pores in their bodies had opened up, and the fatigue of the journey over the past few days was swept away!

Some guards and servants with cultivation felt that the long-stagnant Bottlenecks in their cultivation had even shown slight signs of loosening!

"Is... is this our future home?" Bai Linger held Gu Fan in her arms, her pure eyes filled with disbelief.

"Heavens... this is simply... simply more beautiful than the fairy palaces written about in storybooks!" Liu Ruyan's charming peach-blossom eyes also shone with brilliance.

Even Leng Yuechan, who was usually knowledgeable and calm as water, could not help but show a look of amazement in her cold phoenix eyes when she saw this top-tier luxury mansion that sat atop a "Fourth-Grade Spiritual Vein."

She knew what a Fourth-Grade Spiritual Vein meant.

It meant that the concentration of Spiritual Qi here was sufficient to support the daily cultivation of a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Immortal Master!

Such a blessed land, even within their Yunlan Sect, was only accessible to the most esteemed Inner Sect Elders!

And Gu Yan... actually bought it just like that?!

How much more unknown potential did this man hide?

"Let's all go in."

Gu Yan looked at everyone's wide-eyed expressions, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

"From today on, this is our home."

The original servants of the mansion had already been respectfully waiting at the entrance for their new masters.

Under their guidance, the hundred-plus members of the Gu Family began to move into this massive mansion, which could accommodate thousands.

Gu Yan did not concern himself with trivial matters.

He personally assigned the best courtyards to his wife and children.

"Miss Yue, you have serious injuries and need to rest." He led Leng Yuechan to the small building by the lake, the place with the densest Spiritual Qi in the entire mansion. "This place is the eye of the entire Spiritual Vein, where the Spiritual Qi is the purest. You should rest here with peace of mind for now."

Leng Yuechan looked at the exquisite and elegant small building by the lake, where the Spiritual Qi had almost turned into white mist, her heart filled with complex emotions.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, it only turned into two words.

"...Thank you."

...

That night, as lanterns were lit.

In the main hall of Gu Garden, the lights were bright.

Gu Yan gathered all the core members again to hold the first Family meeting since their arrival in Baifeng City.

"Today, although we have gained a foothold in Baifeng City," Gu Yan sat in the main seat, his gaze slowly sweeping over everyone present.

"But, you must remember. This is not Luoyun Town."

"Here, my cultivation at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer is simply... not worth mentioning."

"The wealth of the Gu Family is merely a drop in the ocean in this crouching tiger, hidden dragon immortal city."

"Therefore, our top priority next is..."

"Keep a low profile!"

"Without sufficient strength, what we must do is close our doors, bitterly train our Internal Skills, and improve our strength!"

His voice was steady and powerful, setting the tone for the Gu Family's initial development in Baifeng City.

"Qingxue, starting tomorrow, you will be responsible for integrating all the servants in the mansion and familiarizing yourself with the various affairs in the city as soon as possible."

"Linger, you are responsible for taking care of the children's daily lives."

"Ruyan, I leave the post of commander of the mansion's guard team to you. Train hard, and do not be lax in the slightest!"

"Yes, Husband!"

The three women replied in unison.

"As for me..." Gu Yan's eyes flickered, "I will open the furnace for Alchemy again!"

"The Medicinal Pill market in Baifeng City is a hundred times larger than that of Luoyun Town! This will be the greatest reliance for my Gu Family to settle down and accumulate wealth in this city!"

Everyone's faces showed expressions full of confidence.

They believed that with their husband's miraculous Alchemy skills, he would surely create miracles again on this bigger stage!

After the meeting ended, everyone dispersed.

Gu Yan walked alone along the corridors of the mansion, feeling the pervasive, refreshing pure Spiritual Qi, his heart filled with ambition.

He glanced in the direction of the backyard.

There, young Gu Xuan, after stepping into this courtyard where the Spiritual Qi was more than ten times denser, could no longer suppress the talent within his body!

Just a moment ago, he had simply rolled around on the grass, and unexpectedly, without being taught, he had triggered the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, forming a small Spiritual Qi vortex above his head!

The speed of cultivation was more than ten times faster than in Luoyun Town!

Gu Yan knew.

From today on, this True Dragon of his Gu Family would no longer be bound!

His future would surely...

Soar into the sky!
