Chapter 430 - Teleportation Array

Chapter 430 – Teleportation Array

The two men and one woman were startled. They couldn’t help looking at that young man.

This young man seemed completely untouched by the vulgarities of the mundane world. His figure was clean and tidy like he hadn’t just gone hunting. And when one looked behind him, they would see that the skull of the wild beast had been shattered — Brain matter, the stench of blood, and everything else leaked out from that place. Apart from this, there were no other wounds to the beast’s body.

However, the strangest thing was that, although this young man wasn’t weak no matter how one looked at him, the wild beast that he dragged back was merely the most ordinary…rank one wild pig.

After getting closer, Gongyi Tianheng’s gaze swept over the two men and one woman. He didn’t say anything, and simply tossed the wild pig in passing. He smiled and said: “This thing tastes pretty good. I think that these two uncles should like it, too.”

Gu Zuo looked at that wild pig, and instantly recognized it.

Back when they were in the Cangyun Empire, he would frequently use this type of wild pig to refine medicinal cuisines for his dear big brother. While it appeared fierce and vicious, its meat essence was delicious, and it could satisfy big brother’s picky tastes.

He didn’t expect to see it again now.

Soon after, Gu Zuo met Tianheng’s smiling eyes, and he promptly understood.

In this forest, lower level wild beasts weren’t commonly seen. And if one wanted to find this type of wild pig, it would be even harder. It was no wonder that the speed of big brother’s return was this slow… Though, the fact that big brother could specially find this wild pig also warmed his heart.

Gu Zuo’s response was to swiftly perform many hand seals and throw all of the medicinal ingredients into the cauldron. Not long after, he already refined a precious meal. The wonderful scents assailed the senses with rich and fragrant notes.

Subsequently, he extracted the quintessence within the cuisine, and ladled it into a large bowl, which he delivered into Tianheng’s hands: “Big brother, it’s been a long time since I’ve cooked something like this. Give it a taste.”

Tianheng raised an eyebrow, and received the food.

Immediately following this, Gu Zuo quickly arrived in front of the wild pig. His fingers flew through the air. After some indiscernible movements, he had already butchered the pig, and took out the most tender meat essence, which was cast into another medicinal cauldron.

This time around, the process was much more effortless than when he cooked the origin flood dragon’s meat essence just a while ago. Within a brief couple of seconds, the refinement was completed. Two bowls were quickly brought out by him, and handed over to Gu Qi and Zhao Ji.

Gu Zuo said: “Dad will eat this bowl, and father will eat that bowl. This time, you guys can’t mix them up.”

Because father’s body needed treatment, he had gone through the tempering of many medicinal ingredients. He was already about the same as an ordinary Blood Refining Realm martial artist. As a result, the bowl given to him contained quintessential meat essence with rich energies. As for dad’s body, although his health had been nursed as well, when all was said and done, only his hidden injuries were treated. His situation wasn’t as critical as that of father. Thus, Gu Zuo intended to seriously research after coming back to this world. Although the taste of the bowl of meat essence given to dad was still mellow and rich, there wasn’t much quintessential energy inside. It was mainly to strengthen his body and to build up his health.

Normally, his parents were very close and intimate. During mealtimes, it didn’t matter that they readily took bites of each other’s food. But this time, if dad mistakenly ate father’s food, then the situation…would become desperate.

It was only natural that Gu Qi listened to Gu Zuo’s urging. There was no need to mention Zhao Ji. He placed extreme importance on Gu Qi’s health. Hence, he similarly accepted these instructions. Unlike before, they only ate their own portions.

Off to the side, the two men and one woman were awkwardly sitting down. Gu Zuo hadn’t spoken a word to them, and it wasn’t good to leave like this. Besides, apart from being grateful to this group of four, they also really wanted to build higher social connections.

Gu Zuo didn’t eat any meat, and only drank a bit of the precious meal’s soup broth. This was enough to replenish his energy. He quickly took note of the three people, and recalled his questions just then. He called out to them: “Do you guys want to eat some, too? That cauldron has a dish made from the meat essence of a rank one wild beast. It’s incredibly delicious, but it doesn’t contain enough medicinal power. This cauldron has a dish made from the meat essence of an origin flood dragon. The medicinal power is surging like a storm. It’s just that, with your strength, I’m afraid that you guys can’t eat the meat. You’ll only be able to drink some broth like me.”

After listening to these words, the two men and one woman also felt somewhat excited in their hearts.

This honorable pharmacist obviously had brilliant and superior techniques, but he was so amiable to them. Indeed, this left them content. And with their Xiantian stage nine strength, it was difficult to deal with even basic spirit-level wild beasts. Rarely were they able to enjoy the meat essence of such creatures. To say nothing of those rumored origin beasts that were far superior to spirit level wild beasts!

Just drinking the broth was enough to make them feel happy… Moreover, their bodies really were only capable of bearing the broth of an origin beast dish.

At once, the three people cupped their fists, and said: “Many thanks, great one.”

Among them, a man with an honest and sincere appearance spoke with some embarrassment: “We…hope that we can have some origin beast broth.”

Gu Zuo smiled: “There’s no need to stand on ceremony. There are still a few things I want to ask you guys later. Let’s have some broth first, and we’ll talk slowly.”

Shortly thereafter, the three each took a bowl of broth. As they drank, they conversed with Gu Zuo, and somewhat strenuously operated their inner cultivation methods to absorb the energy.

Gu Zuo considered something, and asked: “Is there a teleportation array within the capital city of your Great Zhou Empire?”

The regions and domains of the Central Continent were vast. Most of the time, although everyone rode wild beasts to travel around, if something happened in the

southern skies and northern seas

, and they needed to get in touch, would someone spend months to rush over? Of course, there was another way.

This method was precisely the teleportation array.

It was just that, every time a teleportation array was opened, the consumption wasn’t small. In addition, the refining materials used to construct a teleportation array were incredibly precious. Not all cities could afford the costs, so not all cities had teleportation arrays within them.

Although the Ten Ultimates Domain and the Sagely Hand Domain shared borders, while Tianheng and Gu Zuo could purchase some wild beasts or birds in the Great Zhou Empire to get around and increase their speed, when all was said and done, Zhao Ji and Gu Qi were still ordinary people. Even if they rode on wild beasts or birds, they would certainly feel uncomfortable. They wouldn’t even be able to withstand the extreme speeds. What’s more, the two of them had disappeared directly from the historical ruin. After such a long time had passed, it was better that they didn’t delay. They had to return in a hurry to avoid any setbacks.

Thus, the teleportation array was much more convenient.

One of the men responded: “Naturally, it has one.”

However, that woman faintly furrowed her beautiful brows: “It’s just that the imperial capital’s teleportation array is controlled by the royal family. Commoners can’t get close to it, and that teleportation array only opens once a month. At any other time, it would depend on whether one has any connections with members of the royal family.”

The remaining man added: “If you want to rely on the teleportation array, I’m afraid that you’ll need to prepare a few gifts, too. Otherwise, it’ll be hard to get inside.”

All of these things really were problems.

Gu Zuo also furrowed his brows.

Gifts were no problem. The crucial point was how they were going to get in contact with the Great Zhou Empire’s royal family.

At this moment, Tianheng’s voice resounded inside Gu Zuo’s mind.

[Ah Zuo, the Roads of Death.]

Gu Zuo was shocked, and suddenly remembered!

The Great Zhou Empire — Great Zhou and that Prince Zhou… Back then on the Road of Death, wasn’t he one of the three great prodigies who conspired to turn the Peripheral Continents’ geniuses into their own battle slaves? As for that Great Zhou Empire, wasn’t it the bronze-ranked organization of that prodigy, Prince Zhou?

Speaking of which, Tianheng and Gu Zuo had become life and death nemeses with the Great Zhao Empire’s third prince. However, because that third prince got the worst of it, the two hadn’t taken this matter to heart after they left the Road of Death. On the contrary, they didn’t bear any grudges against that Prince Zhou.

Merely, it hadn’t been long since that time. Prince Zhou would definitely still remember what transpired on that Road of Death. It wasn’t known what Prince Zhou thought of it.

Pondering up to this point, Gu Zuo opened his mouth to ask: “Do you guys know about the Great Zhao Empire?”

When these words were uttered, the expressions of the two men and one woman changed.

Among them, one of the men’s complexions became somewhat unsightly: “None of the Zhao Empire’s people are good.”

Another person also said: “The Zhao Empire and our Great Zhou Empire are neighbors, but there’s an unreconcilable feud. The Zhao Empire also has a teleportation array, but the Zhao Empire’s people are despicable and shameless. Gentlemen, if you want to go to the Zhao Empire, and make use of that teleportation array, I’m afraid that it’ll be much harder than our Great Zhou Empire.”

Meanwhile, that woman’s shapely eyebrows furrowed up in anger: “Sooner or later, there will come a day when the Zhao Empire will also be taken into our Great Zhou Empire’s pockets!”

When the Zhao Empire was mentioned, all three people were filled with hatred and resentment.

It could be seen that Great Zhou and Great Zhao were constantly in conflict.

Gu Zuo stared blankly. Immediately following which, he shook his head, and said: “I also share some disagreements with the Zhao Empire, so I naturally won’t go there.”

In reality, he felt better knowing that Great Zhou and Great Zhao didn’t get along.

The two men and one woman breathed out sighs of relief. Suddenly, that woman spoke up: “Actually, you might be able to contact a member of the royal family through our current employer.”
