At this moment, the three of them moved to the study to chat. It was not only quiet and peaceful, but also the most pleasant spot in the entire Gu family's landscape. Gently opening the window, they were greeted by a small, exquisite garden. Although it was winter, and many flowers had already withered, leaving only bare branches, a number of evergreen plants still dotted the landscape, adding a touch of vitality to the bleak scene.

Qin, on the other hand, joyfully went to the kitchen to meticulously prepare a sumptuous meal. After a moment's reflection, Gu Yunzhou chose the things he could talk about and recounted his experiences in a leisurely and unhurried manner.

As he narrated, the expressions of the two people sitting opposite him kept changing, sometimes showing surprise, and sometimes tense, their hearts seemed to be tightly tugged. Only when Gu Yunzhou finally finished the whole story did they breathe a sigh of relief.

"Yun Zhou, seriously, I envy you from the bottom of my heart! It's a pity that my cultivation is not good enough, and my family doesn't allow me to go to the border. Alas, this really makes me sigh in despair!" Wei Yu said with a melancholy look on his face, his words full of helplessness and regret.

Wei Yu was considered a rare genius among the younger generation of the Wei family. Though only in his early twenties, he had already reached the peak of the seventh rank. Such a level of cultivation was considered exceptional in Jinzhou County.

However, even so, according to the long-standing rules of the Wei family, if one wanted to go to the frontier, then at least one had to possess the strength of the sixth rank. After all, only with the corresponding cultivation and a certain degree of self-protection ability could one protect oneself in such a dangerous environment.

So even though Wei Yu was full of yearning for Gu Yunzhou's experiences, because his own conditions were not yet up to standard, he could only watch others gallop freely while he was powerless to do anything.

Hearing his brother's sentimental words, Wei Rao couldn't help but interject, "Brother, stop sighing. After all, you've already reached the peak of the Seventh Rank. Look at me, I've only just stepped onto the threshold of the Eighth Rank. I don't know how long it will take before I have the chance to freely travel and explore the world. Even if I wait until I reach adulthood and face the family's test, I'll probably just be wandering around Jinzhou County at best. Oh, that's so boring! I really want to go to some completely different places to broaden my horizons!"

Wei Rao's delicate face was filled with bitterness. Compared to Wei Yu, she seemed even more depressed and distressed. After all, she had only recently embarked on the path of cultivation, and successfully breaking through to the Sixth Stage was a distant prospect for her.

At this moment, the brother and sister looked at each other helplessly, and then their eyes fell on the smiling Gu Yunzhou, and they felt even more uncomfortable. How much they longed to break free from the constraints of their family and go out and explore the world freely! However, being born into a prominent family means giving up something in order to gain something. Only they themselves know the pros and cons of this.

In the days that followed, Gu Yunzhou met up with many long-lost friends. They gathered together to chat, drink, and chat, and before they knew it, the New Year had flown by amidst laughter and joy. In the blink of an eye, spring arrived, and their scheduled departure date was almost upon them.

This time, Gu Yunzhou specially hired a fleet of vehicles. He not only brought Madam Qin, but also most of the family's servants to the Holy Land of Book Mountain. As for the mansion in Jinzhou County, he left only one loyal and reliable servant to guard it.

Finally, the day of departure arrived. Gu Yunzhou, accompanied by his family and numerous belongings, bid farewell to the friends who had come to see him off. On a sunny, breezy spring morning, the Gu family's motorcade, like a long, mighty dragon, rolled out of the city gates, heading towards the distant sacred land of Book Mountain.

Because there were so many people on the trip and each person carried a lot of luggage, when they finally set off, it took 5 carriages to accommodate all the people and belongings.

Not only that, in addition to these 5 horse-drawn carriages, there were several vehicles loaded with various materials, equipment and supplies. The entire convoy was huge, with a total of more than ten vehicles.

The vehicles were pulled by a strange beast called the Dun Dun Beast. Compared to ordinary horses, the Dun Dun Beast had a significant advantage in running speed, being able to move at a much faster pace, thus significantly shortening the journey time.

At the same time, Dun Dun beasts also possess extraordinary strength and endurance, making them ideal for long-distance transportation. Even when faced with long and arduous journeys, they can still maintain a steady pace and move forward tirelessly.

However, if the Dun Dun Beast is compared to the Pentium Beast that Gu Yunzhou rode when he arrived, it seems a bit inferior. The Pentium Beast's speed is as fast as lightning, far exceeding that of the Dun Dun Beast. Even the Dapeng Bird soaring in the sky can easily kill it in seconds.

However, while the Dun Dun Beast couldn't match its speed, it possessed one remarkable advantage: its exceptional endurance. This beast possessed seemingly boundless energy, capable of running for days without sleep or rest, without even a hint of fatigue. For this reason, Dun Dun Beasts were often chosen for long-distance hauling of heavy cargo.

Excluding the days he was trapped in the God-forsaken Land, it actually took Gu Yunzhou only five or six days to return to Jinzhou County from the Shushan Holy Land. However, this time the journey back to the Shushan Holy Land was extremely difficult and tortuous, and it took him almost a month to reach his destination.

Fortunately, the school enrollment date was set for mid-March, and they had already set out on their journey in early February. When they finally arrived, they calculated that they still had three days until the official enrollment date, which was perfect timing.

After properly settling all his matters, Gu Yunzhou headed straight for the inner realm of the Book Mountain Holy Land. To his surprise, his master had not yet returned from the distant Beichen Kingdom. Fortunately, Li Geyang had already returned to the Book Mountain Holy Land safely.

Upon hearing about Gu Yunzhou's incredible experience, Li Geyang's eyes lit up. He declared this a truly earth-shattering discovery and eagerly inquired about every detail. He seemed intent on personally exploring the legendary God-forsaken Land.
