Gu Zhiqi continued to dig up flowers and herbs, while Tang Yichen and Ling Zhiyu continued their trials, and from time to time, the two would discuss Poison Arts.

Tang Yichen’s skills in Poison Arts naturally weren’t as good as Ling Zhiyu’s, so most of the time, it was Tang Yichen chasing after Ling Zhiyu with questions.

As for why he didn’t ask Gu Zhiqi?

Of course, it’s because Gu Zhiqi was busy digging up flowers and herbs, so Tang Yichen naturally tried not to disturb her.

Ling Zhiyu also noticed Gu Zhiqi’s ability to make the flowers and herbs she dug up disappear into thin air. She was naturally curious about this, but refrained from asking further.

However, she did notice that the flowers and herbs Gu Zhiqi was digging up could all be used to create poisons, for medicinal purposes, or in Fragrance Refining.

She had heard from her uncle that Master Gu’s Alchemy and Fragrance Refining Techniques were quite impressive.

Now it seems she might also know Poison Arts and Medical Skills.

Later on, Ling Zhiyu confirmed that Gu Zhiqi indeed possessed skills in Poison Arts and Medical Skills.

Because, whenever they encountered a poison that even Ling Zhiyu couldn’t solve, Tang Yichen would go to ask Gu Zhiqi.

When Ling Zhiyu faced difficult problems, she would also consult Gu Zhiqi, and then discover that no matter what she asked, Gu Zhiqi always had an answer.

And she answered with ease.

This convinced Ling Zhiyu that Gu Zhiqi indeed mastered Poison Arts and Medical Skills, and her cultivation level was unfathomable.

Gradually, Ling Zhiyu began to suspect Gu Zhiqi’s identity.

She somewhat suspected that Gu Zhiqi might be Gu Baba.

Coupled with Tang Yichen who was traveling with Gu Zhiqi, Ling Zhiyu felt that Gu Zhiqi was very likely to be Gu Baba, and Tang Yichen might be someone related to Gu as well.

Given Tang Yichen’s level, it seemed unlikely for him to secure second place in the Poison Arts and Medical Trial Realm, but if Gu Zhiqi was involved, then that might change.

The more she thought, the more Ling Zhiyu felt her suspicions were correct.

Ling Zhiyu met Gu Zhiqi and Tang Yichen at about two in the afternoon, and after that, they traveled together, wandering around. By nine in the evening, the three of them found a cave to rest in.

"Mr. Tang, did you enter the Poison Technique Trial Realm during last year’s competition?"

Hearing this, Tang Yichen instinctively responded with an "Ah?" and then nodded at Ling Zhiyu, "I did..."

Before Tang Yichen could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Gu Zhiqi, "You two, time to eat."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yichen immediately forgot about Ling Zhiyu’s question, "Coming!"

Although Tang Yichen didn’t complete his answer to Ling Zhiyu’s question, Ling Zhiyu saw him nod.

So, he really did enter?

Ling Zhiyu’s eyes deepened slightly.

"Divine Doctor Ling, come and eat."

Hearing Tang Yichen’s enthusiastic call, Ling Zhiyu looked over and saw that Gu Zhiqi had somehow set up a wooden table, along with three chairs placed next to it.

A table full of dishes was laid out.

Ling Zhiyu: "..."

These two... are they on vacation?

Ling Zhiyu wasn’t too surprised that Gu Zhiqi could conjure up tables, chairs, and dishes out of thin air.

Ling Zhiyu initially wanted to say a few polite words, but upon seeing the dishes on the table, she instantly abandoned her politeness.

The aroma could be smelled from afar, and the dishes looked mouthwatering, making them impossible for Ling Zhiyu to refuse.

So, after thanking Gu Zhiqi, she sat down.

After taking a bite of the dish, Ling Zhiyu paused, her eyes instantly brightening. She looked up at Gu Zhiqi, eagerly asking, "Master Gu, did you make this dish?"

Gu Zhiqi: "..."

"No."

She would love to have such good cooking skills, but in reality, she couldn’t even cook a complete meal.
