"Thank you very much." Gu Feng cupped his fists in thanks to Huo Qing. Although he didn't know why Huo Qing had helped him, he still remembered her kindness. Right now, he couldn't repay her in any way.

"It's just a small task, what's there to worry about?" Huo Qing waved his hand. "Plus, this time, I'm not the one helping you. There's someone else helping you."

"Oh?" Gu Feng's brows twitched, and then he asked, "Is it the City Lord?"

As the commander of Yan City's defensive guards, Huo Qing was under the direct jurisdiction of the City Lord's Mansion. If there really was someone who could get him to move, then it would be that City Lord.

"Exactly, my master wishes to meet with you." Huo Qing stared at Gu Feng and said.

"Then please lead the way, Commander." Gu Feng's expression was very calm, but his heart was beating like a drum. Why did this City Lord want to see me?

Seeing that Gu Feng did not resist, the smile on Huo Qing's face softened. After which, he swiftly turned around and led the way. As for the City Defense Army, they continued their mission of guarding Yan City.

Gu Feng looked at these soldiers who were very cold and filled with killing intent from Su Xiao, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Yan City was not located in a border city, and was considered to be an inland city. It was extremely rare for it to have such trained soldiers. From this, it could be seen how competent Huo Qing was as a commander.

After walking for two hours, they finally stopped in front of a mansion.

"Sir, this is the City Lord's Mansion. My master is waiting for you inside. I still have a mission to complete, so I'll be taking my leave first. " Huo Qing pointed at the majestic mansion in front of them.

"Yes." Gu Feng nodded, saluted Huo Qing, and walked towards the mansion.

"Creak."

Gu Feng had just walked out when the wide door opened. A middle-aged scholar with a fan in his hand and a jade crown on his head walked out. "Little Brother, please follow me."

The scholar turned around and walked in with Gu Feng.

Gu Feng followed him through a corridor, through a large courtyard and lake, and then into a rather luxurious building. This was the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

Pushing the door open, Gu Feng saw a square-faced middle-aged man sitting in the middle seat. He exuded a powerful aura, but also an imposing aura that belonged to someone at a higher position.

"This little brother, this is our City Lord." The middle-aged scholar softly said.

Gu Feng nodded. He was not too moved. Firstly, he had already made a guess about the other party's identity, and secondly, it seemed that it had nothing to do with him. What he really wanted to know was why this city lord had invited him here.

"Indeed, a hero comes out of nowhere. With the strength of an eighth level martial arts expert, he actually managed to kill Bai Shan, who's at the first level of the swastika body. How incredible." Feng Wuji's eyes swept across Gu Feng and couldn't help but exclaim.

As someone who had experienced this before, he was well aware of the gap between the martial arts realm and the pure body realm. Perhaps there were people who could fight those above their cultivation level, but to challenge those above their cultivation realm, it was not easy for him to do so. And for Gu Feng to be able to do it, it showed how powerful he was.

"City Lord is too kind, this kid was just lucky." Gu Feng calmly said.

"Hur hur." Feng Wuji let out a light laugh, and his expression suddenly became serious. The aura of a Soul Forging Stage expert suppressed down. The whole space suddenly became heavy, a thick and heavy pressure was pressing down on Gu Feng.

In the face of this pressure that was as heavy as Mt. Tai, Gu Feng's eyes slightly fluctuated for a moment. However, in an instant, he regained his calm. He was as steady as Mt. Tai under the pressure of that terrifying pressure.

In just a moment, that heavy pressure also disappeared. Feng Wuji looked at Gu Feng with a serious and appreciative expression in his eyes.

Even though he had not released all of his aura, it was still not something a martial artist of the Martial Fate Realm could withstand. However, Gu Feng was able to endure it. Moreover, it was very easy, so he couldn't help but take it seriously.

"City lord, I believe you didn't invite me here to show me your prowess."

Gu Feng said as he looked at Feng Wuji with a calm expression.

"That's right, I have a request. If you can accomplish this, I promise to give you great fortune." Feng Wuji said as he looked at Gu Feng.

Gu Feng frowned slightly, but soon recovered. He continued, "I'm afraid that your strength is too weak to help the City Lord."

Feng Wuji smiled faintly, waved his hand, and said, "Little brother, don't be in such a hurry to refuse. First, listen to the fortune that I've bestowed to you."

Gu Feng's brows twitched; he had not expected Feng Wuji to say such a thing.

"The good fortune I have given you can help you break through into the Pure Body Realm without any side effects." On the side, Feng Wuji spoke out.

"What?" Gu Feng suddenly raised his head, his pair of calm eyes were filled with shock. Even though there were some pills that could help him break through, those pills would have some side effects that would cause his foundation to be unstable. This would be a huge disadvantage for his future cultivation breakthroughs, so Gu Feng had always been a solid cultivator. How could he not be surprised by such a good matter?

Feng Wuji had a smile on his face, as well as a satisfied expression on Gu Feng's face.

"Whew." He heaved a long sigh of relief, looked at Feng Wuji who was smiling faintly, and sighed: "City Lord, I indeed have no way to reject the good fortune that you have given me. Now you can tell me what you want me to do. "

"I wonder if you've heard of the Seraphic Pond?" Feng Wuji stared at the young man in front of him and smiled.

"Nope." Gu Feng honestly shook his head.

He immediately laughed softly, but did not mind as he continued to speak: "The so-called Heaven Lake is actually quite a rare treasure. This Heaven Lake contains extremely pure Yin Yang energy, and if one is able to absorb the energy within it, not only will one's body be able to quickly advance to the Pure Body Realm, but they will also have the ability to strengthen their body. If one is lucky, it will also have the effect of cleansing one's bones and clearing one's marrow."

"Yin Yang energies?" Gu Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't really listen to the rest. In general, the life and death aura in his body belonged to the Yin and Yang aura. However, it was much more domineering than the Yin and Yang aura.

"I think there's something troubling about this." Gu Feng raised his eyes, looked at Feng Wuji, and slowly spoke. In such a strange place, there was definitely more than one family of people who had their eyes on it. It should be difficult for one to enter.
