The water area where the cave ruins are located is only a few dozen miles away from Kurongfang. Gu Qingyu used the Frost Killing Sword to fly away in the vast rain, and it took about a quarter of an hour to reach this water area.
There are fewer monks in this water area than before.
On the way Gu Qing came, he saw a lot of monks coming and going with swords. Most of them were flying to the opposite area of the water area.
Like him, there are not many monks who come to this water area.
But even though there were fewer monks in this water area, the white escaping light transformed by Gu Qing stagnated slightly in the sky above this water area. When he looked through the white rain curtain at the many monks below who were completely connected to the sky, I was still a little shocked.
In the auction venue that Gu Qing attended on the fifth floor of Zhaoyu Building in Kurongfang, the number of monks was not much less than in front of him. However, the many monks in the auction venue at that time were all scattered on the seats in an orderly manner. It was orderly, and he was also sitting in it. It was difficult to see the whole auction venue clearly, so he was naturally not shocked.
At that time, he only felt that the auction venue was a little noisy.
And at this moment.
He looked down from above and saw the endless number of monks in the rain curtain, and his heart was uncontrollably shaken.
'Although Beize is a place of declining spirits, there are really many low-level monks! Among the thousands of monks below, more than 90% are in the early stage of Qi refining, and most of the rest are in the middle stage of Qi refining.
'The monks in the late stage of Qi refining are rare and almost invisible.
Gu Qing's mind changed, and he pressed the escape light downwards.
He landed silently in the rain curtain on a relatively luxurious painting boat in the water below. This painting boat had already started doing business in this water area. Under the dark rain, the lights in the rooms of the painting boat were all bright. It is bright and clear, and figures are looming, but there is no sound coming from it, which makes people doubt that they are in a still painting.
Gu Qing naturally would not have such doubts.
Tap tap tap...
Gu Qing put away the Frost Killing Sword.
He walked forward on the deck of this painting boat, wearing a black breathing robe, which gave him a sense of mystery. He seemed to blend into the dark rain curtain, like an erratic ghost.
Gu Qing, who was wearing a breathing robe, arrived when the world was dark and almost didn't attract anyone's attention.
He was also happy with it.
Things come true in secret.
It's best to fish in troubled waters without being aware of it.
Gu Qing's footsteps were silent, and he walked a few feet above the deck of the boat. Finally, a monk on the boat noticed him.
"who?!"
These were two men in gray suits. They walked a few steps quickly and came to Gu Qing, blocking his way.
Gu Qing raised his eyes and glanced at these two people.
The cultivation of these two people is at the fourth level of Qi refining, and the other is at the third level of Qi refining. Their spiritual power is relatively weak, but their physiques are extremely strong, and their qi and blood are very full.
He responded calmly: "I want to stay in this boat for a few days."
Gu Qing's response was brief.
The two people heard Gu Qing's words and looked at each other. The darker-skinned fourth-level Qi-refining cultivator on the left said, "If you Taoist friends want to stay here in Huafang for a few days, it's not impossible. My young master is the best." I love making friends from all walks of life, so I would like to ask this fellow Taoist to come with me to meet the young master."
Gu Qing nodded imperceptibly and said, "Yes."
Immediately, Gu Qing followed the two people to the cabin of the painting boat. Two breaths later, he had walked out of the vast rain curtain that swept across the deck and came to the deeper part of the cabin of the painting boat, outside a very lively room. He glanced at the door of the room here and sensed that there were more than a dozen monks gathering together, drinking and having fun.
"Fellow Taoist, please wait."
Among the two monks who led Gu Qing here, the one on the third level of Qi Refining with a fairer complexion and a thin body said something to him, then opened a gap in the door in front of him and ducked in.
Gu Qing waited silently, and at the same time glanced around quietly. In the cabin of this painting boat, although the corridor was relatively dark,
But it is very spacious. There are many specially cultivated spiritual plants placed on both sides of the corridor. The figure of a monk walks through this corridor from time to time, casting either meaningless or inquiring glances in his direction.
Gu Qing's waiting did not last long.
After four to five breaths, the door in front was opened, and the skinny monk with fairer skin walked out, looked at Gu Qing, and said: "My young master has something important to do at the moment and it is difficult to escape. I have ordered you to take this Taoist priest with you." Friend, please find a room in the boat."
Said.
This cultivator winked at the darker-skinned fourth-level Qi-refining cultivator. The darker-skinned fourth-level Qi-refining cultivator immediately understood, pushed the door in front of him through a gap, and entered.
Seeing this scene, Gu Qing's expression remained unchanged. He nodded to the skinny monk with fairer skin and said, "In that case, I'd like to trouble you fellow Taoist over there! I'm Gu Yun, what do you call me?"
"I'm Jin Xu."
This self-proclaimed Jin Xu Zhixiu responded to Gu Qingdao.
Immediately, he took Gu Qing to find an empty room in the cabin of the painting boat and handed Gu Qing a wooden sign.
"Fellow Taoist Gu Yun can enter and exit this room with this wooden sign. If you want to enjoy the spiritual meal, leave this room and walk more than two hundred steps to the right, and you will reach the dining hall on the ship." Jin Xu told Gu Qing After a few words, he turned around and left the room.
Gu Qing watched the man's leaving figure.
He rubbed the wooden sign in his hand, injected a bit of spiritual power into it, and threw out a gray spiritual light towards the unmanned room in front of him. There seemed to be an invisible curtain lifted over the door of the unmanned room in front of him. He even You can smell the fresh woody fragrance of the two newly built wooden doors in the unoccupied room ahead.
Gu Qing pushed the door open and entered.
He was sitting cross-legged in a relatively sparsely furnished room, sitting cross-legged on a hard floor that would make it impossible to stretch his legs if he lay flat on his back.
His hands were hanging on his legs, and with a certain thought in his mind, his consciousness poked out from between his eyebrows, condensed a trace, and probed downwards, quickly passing under the deck of the boat and exploring into the water below.
The waters below are dark, cold, and turbulent.
Gu Qing's consciousness spread over a thousand feet downward, and he noticed a group of monks sinking towards the water below, as well as a few monks escaping towards the water above.
When he noticed these two groups of monks, some of them also noticed him. Without waiting for any reaction from these people, he quickly took back this trace of consciousness to himself.
Gu Qing sat cross-legged on the floor of the dark room, his expression unmoving. He stroked his storage belt, took out a medium-grade water attribute spirit stone, held it in his hand, closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing.
'The next step is to wait for changes to occur in the cave ruins below. If there are no changes in the next few days, I will leave. If there are any changes, I will go with the flow.
Thinking about this, he felt certain in his heart.
Gu Qing's figure under the black breath-covering robe glowed with a water-like white aura. He urged the Guishui to return to work and refine his own spiritual power.
Now his realm of the 12th level of Qi refining has been stabilized. Although there is still a long way to go before reaching the 12th level of Qi refining, that is, the state of the Great Perfection of Qi refining, this gap is within reach.
While Gu Qing was waiting silently, two days passed by quickly.
On this boat, everyone seemed to have forgotten about Gu Qing.
For two days, no one came to look for him.
There are monks passing by the door of this room from time to time, but no one seems to notice Gu Qing who is practicing silently in this room.
Gu Qing slowly opened his eyes.
The Guishui that had been circulating in his body for two days finally stopped. Feeling the blood-colored spiritual power that was rushing like a river in the Qi of his body, he exhaled a long breath, exerted a slight force on his hand, and the piece The middle grade water spiritual stone turned into gray spiritual stone fragments.
Gu Qing's expression was mixed with joy.
Feeling that his cultivation level had obviously increased, he stood up in the room, paced softly, and thought to himself: "This is really what it means."
To my great joy, practicing on this painting boat with thin spiritual energy, I only consumed one middle-grade water attribute spiritual stone, and my cultivation level actually increased a little!
There was a slight ups and down in his heart. As soon as Gu Qing evaluated it, he looked sideways at the door of this room. He saw that at this time, the invisible curtain attached to the two doors was quickly disappearing.
'Is someone trying to force their way into this room?
Gu Qing took out the wooden sign that Jin Xu had given him earlier, and saw a crack spreading on the wooden sign, tearing the wooden sign in half in an instant.
At the same moment, the invisible curtain above the two doors of the room was completely eliminated, and then the door was pushed open from the outside, and a man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes appeared in front of Gu Qing.
This man with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes had long hair tied up, wearing a hair crown, and dark blue clothes with golden lines. After seeing Gu Qing, his expression only fluctuated, and he seemed to be a little surprised.
"Why did this fellow Taoist break into Mr. Li's boat?"
The man narrowed his eyes and spoke like this.
Gu Qing's expression under the black robe was a bit strange.
He looked at the man with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and behind him, the two women who looked similar and looked like flowers.
'This person's cultivation is at the twelfth level of Qi Refining. If there is no hidden transformation, he would be equal to me. The cultivation level of the two female cultivators is at the sixth level of Qi Refining. They look like twins... …
Gu Qing's eyes flashed slightly and he responded calmly: "Gu Yun, I was placed in this room by a fellow Taoist named Jin Xu two days ago. I wonder why Fellow Taoist Li broke into Gu's room?"
"Gu Yun..."
The man with sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes thought for a moment, and finally remembered that during the heavy rain two days ago, the brothers from the Jin family had indeed brought back a man named Gu Yunzhixiu. At that time, he was busy trying to win over Several monks who were in the late stage of Qi refining paid no attention to this matter.
He looked Gu Qing up and down.
'This person's cultivation level is unknown, but he is actually wearing the cheapest breath-covering robe. He is probably a practitioner in the early stage of Qi refining, or at most in the middle stage of Qi refining...
He thought like this and said: "It turns out to be Taoist friend Gu Yun! I wonder if Taoist friend Gu has been used to staying at Li's place these past two days? It's really unfortunate that there is no room available in Li's place, so I can only ask Taoist friend Gu to leave. ! Or, Daoyou Gu can make do on the deck..."
Gu Qing heard this man's words and calmly nodded:
"No need, I've been bothering you for two days. I'll take my leave, Gu."
After Gu Qing left the boat, he paused for a while on the deck and waved a white sword light. The white sword light broke through the sky and went straight to the blazing sun in the sky. It jumped a few feet and then whirled around suddenly, hovering in the sky. In front of him, he took a step forward and stepped on the white sword light.
Gu Qing held his sword in the air and stood with his hands behind his back.
He watched the water below.
'If there is still no change after one day, I will leave.
Above the sky, the sky was clear and cloudless. Under the fearful and scorching sun, Gu Qing's black-clothed figure wielding a sword in the air was extremely obvious, and naturally attracted the attention of many monks.
The waters below.
On a relatively narrow spirit boat, a rather tall figure stood on the edge of the deck. His eyes were originally filled with light blue luster and he was looking at the water without any trace of dissociation. However, at this moment, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Gu Qing above. , the pupils of his eyes glowing with blue light trembled slightly.
'This person is so evil! This is no longer the evil spirit that can be formed by killing one or two monks. With such a strong evil spirit, this person must have committed a lot of murders. His cultivation level will never be too low. Otherwise, the evil spirit will bite back. This person has long been turned into a madman who only knows killing...
I was thinking secretly in my mind.
Gu Qing's heart moved.
He felt a sense of being spied on, and thought of Junior Brother Zhou Lian, who seemed to have a secret. The next moment, he followed this sense of spying and noticed the tall figure with blue aura in his eyes.
'It's not Junior Brother Zhou Lian! When I was next to Junior Brother Zhou Lian, the feeling of being spied on was a little stronger than it was now.
'There is a blue aura in this person's eyes. It seems that he is looking at me with the secret method of spiritual eyes? The secret method of the spiritual eye that can make me feel a little bit like being spied on should be much better than the secret method of the spiritual eye that Huang Tao gave me to check the elixir energy...
'In addition, this person's use of the secret technique of spiritual eyes here should not be to observe other monks, unless this person is looking for death! In other words, this person is trying to use the secret method of spiritual eyes to observe the changes in the cave ruins below? This is even more impossible.
'Therefore, this person should be using the secret technique of the spiritual eye to identify the changes in the energy of the water below, and to deduce the situation of the cave ruins... Well, this guess is probably close to the truth.
Gu Qing's thoughts were spinning rapidly.
He lowered his sword and turned into a ball of white escaping light. After a flash, it broke through the air and came into the water below.
now.
On one side of him was the narrower spiritual boat.
Gu Qing looked at the monk with light blue eyes on the deck of the spirit boat through the faint light curtain that enveloped the spirit boat.
This monk with light blue eyes has a spiritual cultivation level of 11th level on the surface, and a 12th level of Qi refining secretly. Moreover, there is a faint sense of perfection in his body. Under Gu Qing's gaze, he didn't dodge, and a smile appeared on his face.
"I wonder what I call this fellow Taoist?"
This cultivator asked Gu Qing.
