"Want to take a look around the Gu Immortal Secret Realm?" With a why-not-we're-already-here mindset, Bai Hongtu eagerly proposed it to the other two.

Jiang Li hesitated before kindly reminding him, "The ultimate reward of the Gu Immortal Secret Realm is for the challenger who clears it to become Dao companions with the Gu Tribe's finest person—for example, Commander Mu and the current Gu Clan Leader."

"With someone as outstanding as you, the Gu Clan Leader probably wouldn't be worthy of you. If you clear it, the reward might be for you to become Dao companions with the Gu Immortal."

Immortal Elder Changcun had an illustrated booklet in his hand containing portraits of several immortals, including the Gu Immortal.

Remembering the Gu Immortal's narrowed eyes and the sharp, caustic look of a spiteful old crone, Bai Hongtu shook his head vigorously.

My splendid youth is meant to be spent in the Joyous Union Sect. I can't let the Gu Immortal bind my hands and feet.

The three arrived in Gu Tribe territory a day early.

As they neared the Gu Tribe, mosquitoes grew increasingly numerous, though they had all been trained by the Gu Tribe and would not bite people.

The Gu Tribe now controlled mosquitoes to keep designated regions free from mosquito infestations. Since establishing a long-term partnership with Great Zhou, the results had been excellent. Seeing this, other nations had also wanted to cooperate with the Gu Tribe.

They were no longer what they had once been; calling their profits a daily stream of gold would not have been an exaggeration.

"Mosquito bites are nothing to fear. I've got several Mosquito Coils here. Even Golden Core Stage mosquitoes have to beat a retreat at the sight of them." Jiang Li showed off the Mosquito Coils in his hand.
