276. Chapter 276: Renowned Throughout the Central Plains! The Yao Clan Leader!

The Shennong Mountain Range was shrouded in mist, resembling a winding fairyland.

Gu Fei and his party hovered in mid-air, overlooking this legendary sacred site of alchemy.

The dense energy of heaven and earth flowed through the air like a physical substance, forming strange beams of light that stretched across the horizon like rainbows.

"Such dense energy of heaven and earth; this Yao Clan has certainly occupied a good place!"

Xiao Yixian could not help but exclaim.

Gu Fei looked at Xiao Yixian, whose bright, large eyes were staring intently into the distance, and a gentle smile appeared in his eyes.

He knew in his heart that Xiao Yixian was naturally very interested in a place like this.

This place was like an enlarged version of that small valley in the Magical Beast Mountain Range from years ago.

Cai'er and Qing Lin nodded repeatedly as well.

The group could clearly feel that the energy of heaven and earth here was more than ten times denser than in the outside world! If one were to cultivate here, a single day would likely be worth several months outside. Gu Fei's gaze swept over the churning clouds and mist above the mountain range.

These seemingly ordinary mists were actually formed by the convergence of pure energy of heaven and earth.

Just at this moment, a commotion suddenly came from afar. A group of cultivators was flying toward them.

When these people's gazes fell upon Gu Fei, their eyes were filled with awe.

This was no wonder; nowadays, on this continent, Gu Fei's name was incomparably resounding in the ears of the continent's top powerhouses.

"That is... the Young Clan Leader of the Ancient Clan, Gu Fei!"

"I didn't expect even him to come to participate in this Medicine Ceremony. It seems..."

"Hush, say less, don't lose our Yao Clan's etiquette!"

The surrounding discussions rose and fell. Gu Fei's arrival clearly caused quite a stir, and many people nodded toward Gu Fei with fawning smiles on their faces.

Gu Fei was already accustomed to all of this. The world had always been like this, and he had become numb to such faces. Gu Fei nodded slightly, acknowledging their greetings.

Next, Gu Fei led the women beside him through a huge archway in mid-air.

The scene before them suddenly opened up.

A vast and boundless space appeared before everyone's eyes.

The energy of heaven and earth here was even denser, and the air was permeated with all kinds of strange medicinal fragrances.

Immediately after, several huge birds were seen flying from the distance. These giant birds were emerald green all over, their wings spanning ten zhang wide, looking quite majestic! "Everyone, please; they will take us to Yao Shan."

A member of the Yao Clan pointed at the giant birds and said.

Gu Fei and the others leaped onto the backs of the giant birds one after another.

With a long cry, the giant birds flapped their wings and soared high, flying toward the towering Yao Shan in the distance.

This flight lasted for about half an hour, during which Gu Fei and the others admired the unique scenery of Yao Jie.

Below them were all kinds of strange flowers and rare herbs, some emitting seven-colored light, others exhaling misty vapors, all of which were breathtakingly beautiful.

Gradually, the speed of the giant birds began to slow down.

Gu Fei looked up and saw the clouds and mist slowly disperse, revealing a massive mountain that towered into the clouds.

On that massive mountain, one could vaguely see groups of grand halls and buildings.

Countless columns of smoke slowly rose into the sky, filled with a rich medicinal fragrance. That fragrance contained extremely pure energy; just smelling it made one feel refreshed.

"Young Master Gu Fei's arrival truly brings great honor to our Yao Clan."

When Gu Fei landed on a plaza, an old man descended from the sky and landed in front of Gu Fei and the others. He wore a smile, his gaze lingered on Gu Fei for a moment, and then he bowed slightly, his tone very polite.

This person was none other than Yao Wangui! The Punishment Elder of the Yao Clan.

He had dealt with Gu Fei before and had witnessed Gu Fei's formidable strength with his own eyes.

He knew that with Gu Fei's achievements, he would surely inherit the position of Ancient Clan Leader in the future.

"Elder Wangui is too polite."

Gu Fei smiled faintly; after all, one does not hit a smiling face, so he offered a casual, polite remark.

"Young Master Gu Fei is too modest. Please follow me; I will take you all into Yao Shan."

Yao Wangui hurriedly waved his hand.

Having said that, Yao Wangui prepared to turn around and lead the way, but just at this moment, another figure flew over from the distance. It was a stern-faced old man with long, fiery red hair, and a powerful aura radiated from his entire body.

He was clearly a Six-Star Dou Sheng powerhouse.

"Haha, this must be Young Master Gu Fei, right? Welcome to our Yao Clan!"

The fiery red-haired old man laughed heartily.

Although Gu Fei had never met him, he guessed at a glance that this person was Yao Wanhuo.

Furthermore, with the feedback from the Emotion Value System, he would basically not mistake the person.

"Elder Wanhuo is too polite!"

"To be personally welcomed by two Elders of the Yao Clan, Gu Fei feels deeply honored."

Gu Fei nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his face.

Yao Wanhuo and Yao Wangui looked at each other, a trace of surprise flashing in their eyes.

They did not expect that Gu Fei, despite being so young, already possessed such a composed demeanor.

It was no wonder he could become the Young Clan Leader of the Ancient Clan; he was truly extraordinary.

While they called it demeanor, they were actually more surprised by the powerful Dou Qi on Gu Fei.

"Young Master Gu Fei, please follow us."

Yao Wanhuo made a gesture of invitation.

The three walked side by side, flying toward the peak of Yao Shan, while Xiao Yixian, Cai'er, and the others followed closely behind, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Finally, the group arrived at the peak of Yao Shan.

Looking out, one could see patches upon patches of medicinal herbs on the mountaintop, gathered like an ocean.

The colorful medicine fields extended to the very end of one's line of sight.

Above this sea of medicine, a massive plaza floated in mid-air, with a giant Medicine Cauldron at each of its four corners, rising with the scent of pills and pillars of smoke shooting straight into the clouds.

At this moment, quite a few people had already gathered on the massive floating platform.

Various lively conversations rose and fell, and the entire mountaintop appeared exceptionally bustling.

"Young Master Gu Fei, please, this way."

Yao Wanhuo made a gesture of invitation and led Gu Fei and the others to the VIP seating area.

Overlooking the entire plaza from this position, the view was extremely expansive.

Gu Fei's gaze swept through the crowd, and he suddenly noticed a familiar figure.

It was a handsome young man who was currently standing not far away, looking toward this side intentionally or otherwise.

When Yao Tian's gaze met Gu Fei's, a trace of panic flashed across his face, and he hurriedly lowered his head.

Gu Fei smiled, but he did not say anything.

This fellow had once challenged Gu Fei back in the Ancient Realm, but Gu Fei had not been there.

Yet now, he clearly no longer possessed that arrogance from before.

He did not even dare to meet Gu Fei's gaze directly.

Just at this moment.

A bell chime echoed through the space.

Hearing this sound, Gu Fei raised his eyes to look, only to see the clouds in the sky suddenly churning, and then they actually parted automatically.

An old man with white hair and dressed in white robes walked slowly out from the clouds.

With every step he took, the space beneath his feet would ripple with strange fluctuations.

It was as if that void of space had turned into something solid at this very moment.

"Welcome, Clan Leader!"

The resounding welcome shook the heavens. All the members of the Yao Clan respectfully lowered their heads, their gazes toward the old man filled with awe. (End of chapter)
