Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

As the sun rose higher, the frost began to melt, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of earth and grass.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang's mood also became a little more relaxed as the sun shone.

"Look, there's smoke over there." Gu Yang suddenly pointed into the distance and said.

Hu Qing looked in the direction of his finger and saw a faint wisp of black smoke.

Their hearts beat faster, it might be the smoke from the caravan's cooking.

It would be great if the caravan could take them back to Tianyi City. They really don't want to walk.

I've almost completed a month's worth of exercise in the past two days.

"Let's go there quickly." Hu Qing urged, with a hint of anticipation in his voice.

The two men quickened their pace, their footsteps echoing across the plain, their figures casting long shadows in the morning sun.

As they approached, the plume of black smoke grew thicker.

Sure enough, it was a caravan and they were preparing breakfast.

"Great, we finally caught up." Gu Yang said excitedly.

A smile also appeared on Hu Qing's face, and they slowly approached the caravan.

Gu Yang shouted loudly: "Friends in front, my horse is lost. Are you going to Tianyi City? Can you come with us?"

Soon, chaotic footsteps were heard in the camp, and some people dressed in guard uniforms walked out of the camp with weapons, aiming at Gu Yang.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. The guards surrounded Gu Yang and walked towards the center of the camp.

Hu Qing took a quick look around and found that the person with the highest realm in the camp was in the early stage of Jindan, and was still sleeping in the carriage.

The levels of the guards around here are uneven, the highest one is only in the middle stage of foundation building, so there is no need to worry about Gu Yang's safety.

After all, the disciple uniform and sect token on his body are no joke.

"Why are you all so noisy? Why are you all gathered together?"

The leader of the caravan was a burly man with a full beard. He walked out of a tent and asked the guards around him.

"Leader, we found a stranger outside the camp."

When the strong man heard this, he became alert, praised the guards, and walked inside.

The guards around him left a gap, and the strong man quickly saw Gu Yang.

He looked at Gu Yang and his clothes, then waved his hands and shouted:

"Where are your eyes? This is the son of Tianyi Sect. Go and invite Mr. Qian over."

The strong man was still on guard and asked his men to bring the Jindan stage cultivator over.

If they are really from Tianyi Sect, then doing this can also represent respect.

If not, let Mr. Qian capture him and escort him to Tianyi Sect in exchange for the reward money.

The strong man thought about it, still feeling a little worried, and then asked:

"Little brother, do you have anything else to prove your identity?"

The guards around Gu Yang still hadn't put down their weapons, but he wasn't angry. He happily took out the token from his waist and handed it to the strong man.

The strong man was a little overwhelmed with the token, but at this time, Old Qian had already arrived.

Old Qian looked somewhat like an immortal, with white hair and beard, and the whisk in his hand added a bit of temperament.

As soon as he came over, he saw the token in the strong man's hand and quickly signaled the guards around him to put down their weapons.

"Put down the knife, put down the knife! Everyone, disperse."

Seeing this attitude, the strong man quickly returned the token to Gu Yang with both hands, and said with an apologetic smile:

"Sir, I'm truly sorry. In this desolate wilderness, I have to take responsibility for the lives of so many of my men."

Gu Yang waved his hand and said, "It's okay. If it were me, I would also check it carefully. What is this big brother's name?"

Seeing that he was not angry, the strong man felt relieved, clasped his fists and saluted, saying:

"My humble name is Tielang. I'm the person in charge of the Tianyi Caravan detachment. How can I help you?"

Gu Yang quickly returned the greeting and introduced the Bian family to Qian Lao and Tie Lang, then said:

"Are you from Huitian Sect? I came out on a mission, but I lost my horse and can't get back. Can you give me a ride?"

After listening to this, Mr. Qian looked at him twice, and found that he was in the Qi Gathering Stage, so he didn't pay any more attention to him and walked towards his previous carriage.

"Yes, we will go to Tianyi City later. Don't worry, little brother. Mr. Qian is our tribute. With him around, the caravan will be safer."

Tielang took Guyang to sit next to the campfire, handed him two multi-grain cakes, and introduced them to him.

Gu Yang took a bite of the cake and it tasted very good, with a strong grain flavor, which became even more fragrant after being baked.

"It's okay, it's okay, big brother, is there anything I can help you with here?"

Tielang drank a mouthful of wine from the pot, smiled and patted Guyang's shoulder:

"Little brother, you have the temperament to accomplish great things!"

The two of them had a very pleasant conversation and almost became sworn brothers on the spot. Tielang made an empty carriage for Guyang to ride in.

Hu Qingze started wandering around the caravan early in the morning. The goods inside were all ironware and spices, nothing else unusual.

Old Qian returned to the carriage and just practiced, while he allocated some of his spiritual awareness to keep watch outside.

When he went to find Gu Yang, he was packing his luggage in the carriage and Tielang had just left.

"Ah Qing, what do you think of this caravan?"

"It's fine, nothing unusual. How long will it take us to get there?"

Hu Qing sat on the floor of the carriage and asked while looking at Gu Yang who was busy beside him.

"Brother Tielang said it should be at night, but he will send us to the foot of Tianyi Mountain."

"That's good. You should pay more attention to them too."

"Okay, don't worry about that." Gu Yang replied.

Afterwards, Hu Qing looked at the sky outside and began to practice. When he came out of the swamp this time, he felt something in his heart.

I feel like I’m getting closer and closer to the Jindan stage.

The atmosphere in the caravan was lively, with people busy preparing for the day's journey.

Gu Yang had nothing to do, so he joined them and helped carry the goods and organize the carriage.

"Is Tianyi Sect fun? Where are you from?" a young caravan member asked curiously.

"Tianyi Sect is okay. I came from the swamp and encountered some trouble." Gu Yang replied.

"Swamp? That's not a good place." The young caravan member shook his head.

"Yeah, we almost couldn't come back." Gu Yang said with a wry smile.

Tielang also came over and chatted with Guyang.

After the conversation, I learned that Tielang was only one step away from joining Tianyi Sect, and I immediately felt regretful.

However, Tielang did not feel sad at all. Instead, he said with a smile:

"My son is ten years old this year. He keeps asking to join the Tianyi Sect. He hopes to be older than me."

After the two talked for a while, the caravan had packed up all its belongings.

The caravan started to set off. Hu Qing and Gu Yang sat in the middle carriage and looked at the surrounding scenery.

They felt much more relaxed; with the company of the caravan, the journey became less dangerous.
