The fourth floor of the restaurant here has been booked by several monks, and the waiters have been sent away long ago. Therefore, there are only a few of them sitting around the wine table in the wide fourth floor hall.
Among the people sitting opposite and drinking, a square-faced ninth-level Qi-refining cultivator heard the conversation between Du Gang and the monk surnamed Zuo, glanced at the eighth-level Qi-refining female cultivator beside him, and stood up suddenly.
"Why did Fellow Daoist Zuo say this?"
"The guy surnamed Lin is only at the eighth level of Qi Refining. How can he defeat Taoist Fellow Chu Tian? Also, I wonder why Fellow Daoist Zuo sent people to release the news about Fellow Taoist Chu Tian's disappearance?"
The square-faced monk asked with narrowed eyes.
Du Gang looked out the window with his wine glass in hand. After his death in the illusion last time, his sister had obviously become well-behaved and silent, even a little dull, and she was sitting next to him now.
The monk surnamed Zuo looked at the square-faced monk, and his face moved slightly to reveal a smile: "It seems that the friendship between this fellow Taoist Zhao and Taoist Chu Tian is very deep."
The square-faced monk named Zhao frowned.
Looking at the smile on the face of the person in front of him, he felt a chill, and he was just about to continue speaking.
Tap tap tap...
At this time, the sound of neither light nor heavy footsteps sounded.
Several people looked sideways at the stairs on the fourth floor and saw a young man in black with long hair hanging down to his waist, walking leisurely and slowly up the stairs. It was Lin Changqing!
The square-faced monk surnamed Zhao's pupils shrank suddenly, the monk surnamed Zuo had a strange smile, and Du Gang's expression moved slightly, pulling his sister up to greet her.
"Lin is naturally no match for Brother Chu, and there is no need to be an enemy of Brother Chu." With a chuckle on his face, Gu Qing nodded to Du Gang and his sister, and then sat down casually, "I wonder if all the fellow Taoists here are still willing. Why don't you join us to stay warm and explore the cave ruins on the Feilong Sea?"
After sitting down, Gu Qing immediately got straight to the point.
"Fellow Daoist Lin is indeed very generous!" The monk surnamed Zuo has a faint mole under his left cheekbone. His face is fair and delicate, and his appearance is soft. He has a kind of male-female appearance, which makes people look down on him. Somewhat favorable, "Zuo and several fellow Taoists plan to set off tomorrow. Now that fellow Taoist Lin has joined us, they are even more powerful. I think we will gain a lot from this trip."
"This fellow Taoist is so flattering! I don't know what to call him?" Gu Qing's eyes flashed and he asked back.
Zuo Qingci's smile widened a bit: "My surname is Zuo and my given name is Qingci. Brother Changqing can just call me Qingci."
"Brother Qingci."
"Brother Changqing."
The two of them each called out, and then looked at each other and smiled, which was quite meaningful. The other people were confused, and the Xiu named Zhao was even more frowning.
"Could it be that these two people have known each other for a long time? This trip was obviously for the ruins of the cave, but in fact it was to assassinate fellow Taoist Chu Tian?"
His gaze sank slightly, and then moved on Gu Qing and Zuo Qingci with a hint of inquiry.
…
That night.
The moon and stars were sparse, shining like a foggy moon through Qinghai City, and wandering around in the temple that was larger than the imperial palace.
In the pavilion under the night, Gu Qing stood with his hands behind his back.
His eyes focused on the dim spiritual talisman on the ground. This second-level low-grade forbidden divine talisman had exhausted its power after suppressing the Desire Soul Banner, and was left here by Chu Tian.
A cold wind blew in, blowing the talisman on the ground further.
Under the night, in the Guanyu without Chu Tian, a dim piece of talisman rose with the wind and fluttered on the roof where all the tiles had been removed.
The dream of glory is like a bubble.
Only the way of body, mind, and life will last forever.
Gu Qing's eyes became misty, and the dark night and the bright starry sky were reflected in his eyes. The two seemed to be a boundless abyss, both falling into deathly silence in his eyes.
A ripple passed through this abyss.
Gu Qing turned sideways and looked at the person coming.
"Brother Qingci sent a message during the day and asked me to come here. Why?"
He spoke calmly.
Zuo Qingci, who was dressed in white robes, looked at the people next to him for a few times, then pursed his lips and said, "Since Chu Tian lost his life at the hands of Brother Changqing, Qingci should express his gratitude."
Gu Qing's expression did not change at all.
He turned around and looked at Zuo Qingci, taking advantage of the situation with his left hand to brush his waist. Several magic talismans were clasped in his hand, ready to go: "I wonder how Brother Qingci plans to express his gratitude?"
Zuo Qingci chuckled and shook his head: "Qingci has no ill intentions. Brother Changqing, you can rest assured. It is true that Qingci and Chu Tian are both monks from Lingxu Island in the sea."
"Lingxu Island?"
Gu Qing's heart moved.
He had heard of Lingxu Island, which was a force on the sea and was nominally under the jurisdiction of the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
"Yes, Lingxu Island." Zuo Qingci nodded and took out a strange-shaped jade plaque from the storage bag on his waist, "This is the order for accepting talents from Lingxu Island. I am going to give this order to Brother Changqing. After accepting this order, Brother Changqing will become a peripheral member of our Lingxu Island."
"Why did Lin become a peripheral member of Lingxu Island?" Gu Qing asked with an unchanging expression.
"Of course there are a lot of benefits."
Zuo Qingci smiled mysteriously.
Gu Qing looked at Zuo Qingci quietly with an expressionless face, and a gust of cold wind blew between the two of them.
"Farewell."
His figure turned into a ball of white air and fled towards the distant night. Zuo Qingci's smile suddenly faltered.
"With this jade tablet, you can get the True Crimson Pill, the Foundation Building Pill, and the Ning Jade Pill!" Zuo Qingci's heart moved slightly, and he sent a message from a distance to Gu Qing, who was almost out of sight.
A ball of white air returned to the pavilion in the blink of an eye.
Gu Qing's figure was revealed, and he looked at Zuo Qingci: "Do you take what brother Qingci said seriously?"
Zuo Qingci did not respond to Gu Qing's question.
With a slight smile on his face, he said: "Brother Changqing handed over the formation token obtained from Chu Tian to Qingci. This order of acceptance belongs to brother Changqing."
Snapped!
Gu Qing brushed the storage bag at his waist and threw a round formation token. Zuo Qingci reached out to catch it.
Zuo Qingci used his spiritual consciousness to investigate, and then handed the strange-shaped jade token to Gu Qing. Gu Qing's spiritual consciousness moved slightly and took the jade token into his hand, and looked at it for a few times.
The shape of this jade tablet is very special. It is light blue and green in color. It feels warm and moist like holding warm jade. It looks like an island many times smaller. There are two large characters and two characters engraved on it. The two big characters are 'Lingxu' and the two small characters are 'Naxian'.
"As long as this order of accepting talents is sacrificed and refined, Brother Changqing will naturally know that what Qing Ci said is true."
Gu Qing looked away. Zuo Qingci's figure had disappeared, and a message echoed in his ears.
He lowered his head and poured his spiritual energy into his hand, intending to use the spiritual energy in his body to refine it. However, after a few breaths, he frowned and realized that this object was like a spiritual weapon and required spiritual consciousness. It is forbidden to perform sacrifices.
He brushed the storage bag at his waist and threw out the streamer array disk, embedding a low-grade metal spirit stone in it.
Golden light shrouded the pavilion, faintly turning into a curtain, blocking other monks' spiritual exploration. Gu Qing took out a futon and sat in the pavilion.
He was reminded by Jian Yu from the inner sect of the Xianhe Sect that he had often studied the changes of the Three Talents Taboo in the past few years and was already able to use the other two variations of this Taboo.
It's just that the big cauldron obtained from Feilei Peak in Huaining County has not yet been refined by Gu Qing, and the Three Talents Ban is still too basic as a spiritual consciousness ban.
Gu Qing condensed a three-talent ban and hit it on the jade token. Looking at the jade token that was originally light blue-green, a small piece of it suddenly turned into white.
"It seems that this sacrifice can be used to refine the order of merit."
He nodded slightly when he saw this.
Half an hour later, Gu Qing practiced the Naxian Token. He held the Naxian Token and reached into it with his consciousness, and sat cross-legged in the pavilion.
"Um?"
His expression rarely changed continuously.
…
As he penetrated the Naxian Order with his spiritual consciousness, Gu Qing seemed to have arrived in another world. Among the unfamiliar pavilions and waterside pavilions, his illusory figure suddenly solidified.
He lowered his head and glanced at the body formed by his consciousness for a few times, and tried to clench his fists, but it felt extremely real.
Look up again and look at where you are.
This is a very long water corridor. There are many illusory figures coming and going on both sides. After a few glances at him, his eyes freeze. In the distance, the illusory figure of a woman in white is walking towards him. Suddenly he was close to him.
"Brother Changqing, it's very fast to make sacrifices and accept talents."
Zuo Qingci spoke with a bit of surprise.
"Brother Qingci, he is actually a girl."
Gu Qing replied lightly.
His mood has calmed down.
The Immortal Sect's spells are as vast as a sea of smoke.
The Naxian Ling only condensed a trace of his spiritual consciousness into an entity and brought it to this world. Compared with the legendary great monk's thousands of incarnation techniques, it was nothing.
Then Zuo Qingci led Gu Qing to a black hall and pointed upward.
"Brother Changqing, Qing Ci didn't lie to you. You can indeed get the Jiangzhen Pill, Foundation Establishment Pill and other miraculous elixirs here. Qing Ci will stay soon."
Zuo Qingci said a few perfunctory words, and then her body of condensed consciousness disappeared out of thin air.
Gu Qing looked at the direction Zuo Qingci was pointing, and his eyes were focused, but there was something strange on his face: "Jiangzhen Pill, fifty yuan of medium-grade spiritual stones, the price here is a bit more expensive than the normal price in the market. , Foundation Building Pill, three hundred pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones, Condensing Jade Pill, ten thousand middle-grade spiritual stones..."
On the jade jade beside the main hall, he found several pills that Zuo Qingci had mentioned to the outside world before.
"But how to bring the spirit stone into this place, and how to bring the elixir out?" He was still confused in his heart.
"Junior Brother Gu?"
At this time, a voice sounded in his ears.
He was startled.
Gu Qing suddenly turned around and looked over, only to see an extremely handsome man with a soft face looking at him with a bit of surprise.
"Senior Brother Sikong, what a coincidence."
Gu Qing had a chuckle on his face.
This man was actually one of the direct disciples of the leader of the Fourth Peak of the Xianhe Sect, and the initiator of the Xianhe Sect Disciples Trade Fair.
His name is Sikong Xuan.
Two disciples of the Xianhe Sect, with illusory bodies condensed with spiritual consciousness, met in the illusory space opened by another force. For a while, both of them felt complicated.
"skillful."
Sikong Xuan simply said one word.
Then Sikong Xuan turned around and walked a few steps, looked back at Gu Qing, and said two words briefly: "Together?"
…
After leaving the black hall, Sikong Xuan led Gu Qing to a hall covered in purple.
Sikong Xuan walked into it minding his own business.
"It seems that Senior Brother Sikong, who is a direct disciple of the Fourth Peak, has been a peripheral member of Lingxu Island for some time." Gu Qing's eyes flashed slightly and he followed.
The purple hall was extremely spacious, with many illusory figures moving around. Sikong Xuan stood under a suspended stone tablet, closing his eyes and not knowing what he was doing.
Gu Qingsi looked at the purple spirit patterns on the ground, and his eyes passed over the gathering place of the spiritual patterns at the feet of the various illusory figures in the hall. He was thoughtful, and found a place where the patterns converged, stood on it, and looked up. You can see the same hanging stone monument just above your head.
He closed his eyes.
In an instant, dense information appeared in his mind, ranging from tasks that could be completed by monks at the Qi Refining level to tasks that required the help of monks at the Core Formation level. There were no less than 10,000 items, all kinds of tasks and corresponding The rewards were all in his mind.
"It's so true."
Gu Qing slowly opened his eyes.
Sikong Xuan was already waiting beside Gu Qing. When he saw Gu Qing opening his eyes and moving his lips slightly but not speaking, he hesitated for a moment and said to Gu Qingyan through a message: "Junior brother Gu is also a peripheral member of Lingxu Island. In the future, I Wait until there is no chance of cooperation."
"What Senior Brother Sikong said is true."
Gu Qing chuckled and responded via voice transmission.
Then the two of them talked again. It was normal for Sikong Xuan to not speak and only talk through voice transmission.
Gu Qing got a lot of useful information from this senior brother, and also learned that this senior brother had obtained the 'Second Class Guest Minister' nameplate on Lingxu Island, and could purchase various types of elixirs, talismans, and magic weapons at relatively low prices. .
"Goodbye."
Sikong Xuan uttered two words and his figure disappeared.
Gu Qing stood in the purple hall, observing the people passing by, but couldn't see their faces.
"According to what Senior Brother Sikong said, this space is the 'virtual world' created by the island owner of Lingxu Island with his great supernatural power. When the spiritual consciousness condenses into this virtual world, it can be transformed into an illusory body. This illusory body can be transformed into an illusory body." I don’t have a body, because my body is condensed with one mind, so only myself and people who have had contact with me in the outside world can see my appearance, and the same is true for other people.”
With a thought, his condensed body of consciousness dispersed
