The figure in black robe standing at the door of the side hall of their Li family, hands behind his hands, is the foundation-building guest minister of the Gu family.
A foundation-building monk actually condescended to become a guest of the little Gu family. He was not even an elder of the guest, which really surprised him.
now.
The thought of recruiting this Foundation Establishment monk was very strong in his heart, but he also knew that such a strong man with a cultivation level of Foundation Establishment must have his own considerations when choosing to be the guest of the little Gu family.
As for the conditions he could offer on behalf of the Li family, 90% of them would not be able to impress this foundation-building monk, or any foundation-building monk.
So he put the matter behind him.
"Haha! It's such a trivial matter, why bother bothering the head of the Gu family and this senior of your family to come to my Li family? This is the lease of that shop! Today, the store will be returned to the head of the Gu family!" He There was a bright smile on his face, and every wrinkle on his skin seemed to be smiling.
A lease was handed over to Gu Cheng by the head of the Li family.
Gu Cheng felt like tears filled his eyes as he held the lease.
The family store is finally back in the hands of the family!
Back then, due to internal and external troubles, the family had to sign this lease, ceding their Gu family's shop to the Li family for free. At this time, the head of the Li family just handed over this lease. He wanted to hand over the shop that originally belonged to their Gu family at this time.
It is true that their Gu family is still experiencing internal and external troubles.
Outside, there are various small monk families in Huanhua Lane, who are eager to annex their Gu family. Inside, the family's strength is low, and Gu Tingyue, the late Qi Refining monk with the highest cultivation level, is not good at fighting.
The dilemma of their Gu family is still a dilemma.
However, because of the appearance of one person, this dilemma is like paper shackles. It seems to be there, but in fact it is just a decoration.
Gu Cheng's heart was agitated and he subconsciously looked towards the door of the side hall.
But he saw the figure of the foundation-building senior who had become his backbone and sea-fixing needle at this time, already walking leisurely, leaving the side hall and heading out.
"Master Li, this matter is over, I'm leaving." Gu Cheng turned his head, clasped his fists at the head of the Li family in front of him, and said.
Naturally, the head of the Li family exchanged pleasantries and tried to get information about Gu Qing from Gu Cheng through insinuations. Unfortunately, Gu Cheng only dealt with him a few words and then left with Gu Qing.
Standing in the side hall, the head of the Li family gradually became gloomy.
That shop accounts for 30% of their Li family's income. The Li family's cultivation resources needed to train the next generation of monks have been reduced by 30% because of this. This is undoubtedly something that makes him, the head of the Li family, extremely anxious. .
Not only is he anxious about the development of the Li family.
I am also worried about my descendants who have spiritual roots.
Of course, the main thing is.
He, the head of the Li family, seems to own the entire Li family, but in fact he is just a puppet. He can be appointed or dismissed at the whim of the ancestor. He must prevent the family business from being greatly affected after taking out this shop. .
If he couldn't do it, he, the head of the family, would be done.
Full of sorrow and thoughts, it finally turned into a long sigh:
"Sigh... The Gu family is really lucky. It's really hurting me."
Such a time of sighing.
The seventy-year-old head of the Li family naturally did not expect that the store the Gu family wanted to return to originally belonged to the Gu family, but was robbed and forcibly occupied by the Li family.
Thousands of rain lines drooped inside and outside Yinyuefang City.
Dark clouds that covered an unknown number of miles filled the sky with a heavy blackness. From time to time, there were blue and white lightning flashes crisscrossing the clouds, and thunderous thunder, which seemed to disperse many raindrops and turned them into thick mist, covering the surrounding areas.
It's no longer time.
It was probably not evening yet.
But there was no light in the sky. Gu Qing, who had left Yinyuefang City, looked at the dark mountains around him. He had a feeling that he was still on the mainland and had not yet gone to the sea. Changming Island was so vast that it could be considered a small one. land, so he stayed on this island, making him often forget that this was just
An island.
There are countless islands like this in the Linyu Sea, and there are countless islands in the entire vast sea, like stars in the night sky.
In this way, it further highlights the vastness of the vast sea.
Gu Qing had only been to the vast sea once in the past. He thought he was of low cultivation and was being hunted. He just wandered around randomly and then returned to the mainland. It was really difficult to appreciate the scenery of the vast sea.
Now that he has been on Changming Island in the vast sea, it has only been about seven months, and he has been mostly in seclusion to heal his wounds, but he is still fascinated by the scenery of the vast sea, and has some sincere yearning for it.
Who doesn’t yearn for the vastness of the sky and the sea, and travel across the sky?
The rain hits the forest leaves.
After leaving Yinyuefang City, only a few sparse fire cherry trees can be seen, and they are all not growing well. There are many other trees, and the small paths in the forest lead to deeper places. In the dense forest, there are strange birds chirping from time to time, which makes people feel a little nervous in the darkness.
Yinyuefang City is actually located in the center of the forest sea.
"This time, let me help you two." Gu Qing glanced at Gu Tingyue and Gu Cheng who were following him, formed two powerful spiritual hands, grabbed the two of them, and flew into the air.
Gu Tingyue and Gu Cheng were picked up like little chickens. Gu Tingyue was used to it and had somewhat adapted to the senior's behavior. Gu Cheng was feeling a little frightened as he sensed the surroundings. With the pressure that was everywhere, the spiritual power in his body seemed to be sluggish.
If this senior wanted to kill him, it would probably be easier than crushing an ant! Gu Cheng realized this and became more respectful.
Gu Qing was enveloped in a faint golden light.
He also mobilized his spiritual power to protect himself.
The coolness of the rain made him a little intoxicated. He violently broke through the rain curtain with his body and fled quickly through the air. The sound of wind and rain filled his ears, like the sound of thousands of drums, ringing continuously in his ears.
Lines of rain were crushed into pieces and turned into mist by Gu Qing's body. His sharp sound of breaking through the air was drowned out by the thunder in the sky.
The nearby monks heard his voice before seeing him, and they all gave way. A series of spiritual consciousnesses came over, but it was not a test, but they just expanded their field of vision to see who made such a noise.
Unexpectedly, the light escaped so quickly!
The monks who searched for the place where the light escaped with their spiritual consciousness could only detect a trace of airflow in the rain curtain. Even the monks who were in the late stage of Qi refining could sense with their spiritual consciousness that a pale golden rainbow penetrated the sky. It disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, and the waves it caused lasted for a long time!
Gu Qing's hasty escape made the two Gu family members, who were held by his spiritual power hand, tremble with fear. They listened to the sound of wind passing by the spiritual power hand in their ears, and looked at everything around them. They all turned into phantoms and were thrown away. Behind me, I felt that everything around me slowed down in just the blink of an eye.
Falling rapidly.
Then it stopped abruptly.
The spiritual power around the two men disappeared like smoke.
When Gu Cheng landed on the ground, he looked at Huanhua Alley in front of him, and his legs were still a little weak. This was many times faster than the speed of his sword flying.
He calmed down and wanted to say something. He glanced around a few times and saw Gu Tingyue, but the senior Gu was no longer there.
The speed with which Gu Qingzhuan drew the talisman was extremely fast.
Rao is so.
He used up all the talismans and spent ten days.
During this period, An Meng had him grind ink twenty-four times, and each time he consumed all his spiritual power. Then he used mid-grade spiritual stones to replenish it, and finally advanced the level of Qi refining to perfection.
"The Yin Talisman in your Shenque Point has become perfect. I hope you can condense the second Yin Talisman after I hope to come back." Gu Qing stood in front of the black water pool, looking at the few tails in the clear pool. Yu'er, "It's nothing more than re-engraving the first Yin Talisman. You can try to visualize it exactly and imprint it directly on the second acupoint that needs to be opened. Try to choose a large acupoint on the whole body."
An Menghuan, who was standing behind Gu Qing, nodded heavily.
"Master, this little slave will definitely do it."
An Meng said firmly.
Gu
Qing has decided to give all the talismans drawn this time to the Gu family for sale, while he goes out to practice. Seeing the beautiful scenery of the vast sea, An Meng naturally cannot take it with him.
This girl's cultivation level is still too low.
Moreover, Gu Qing also needs this girl to supervise the Gu family.
Gu Qing doesn't intend to do anything to anyone in the Gu family. He doesn't need the loyalty of everyone in the Gu family. If the Gu family doesn't know what's good and bad and really dares to do anything, he can always find another family to cooperate with, such as the Li family.
He chose the Gu family just because this family has some fate with him. Fate is a wonderful thing. It just so happens that he doesn't reject fate.
The water in the black water pool was rolling, and the fish jumped out of the water, swallowed a water flea in one gulp, and then smashed into the water, causing waves and flowers.
Gu Qing did not wait long.
Soon Gu Tingyue and Gu Cheng arrived.
Both of them were a little nervous and a little excited.
The store that was previously forcibly occupied by the Li family quickly created benefits for the Gu family after returning to the Gu family. However, because the Gu family's financial resources are now too thin, the use of this store can be said to be quite low. When the Li family had it in their hands, they couldn't even reach one tenth.
The shopkeeper of the Li family who was in charge of this shop often made taunts after seeing Gu Cheng, the head of the Gu family who was in charge of the shop, because Gu Cheng had nothing to fight back.
And I don’t know if it was the Li family’s fault, but the Gu family was actually a family that had a decent relationship in the past. They couldn’t receive even half of the spirit stone. Even the in-laws of the Gu family were the same.
However, Gu Cheng is not too anxious. He knows that as long as he obtains the exclusive talisman of the seal paintings of the family's foundation-building guest, Senior Gu, and sells them continuously in the store, he can turn their Gu family's store in Silver Moon. Fangshi became famous.
According to what my aunt said, most of the spiritual talismans of the family's foundation-building guest, Senior Gu, were brought on land, and they would never see them on Changming Island!
Things are rare and valuable!
As long as the power of Senior Gu's exclusive talisman is acceptable, it will definitely be sought after. This is the opportunity for the Gu family to rise! Every time he thought of this, Gu Cheng trembled all over.
He was already too excited.
He didn't notice Gu Qing's indifferent expression at all.
Maybe he noticed it, but he didn't care. After all, the family's foundation-building guest, Senior Gu, was always so indifferent.
"Senior." Gu Tingyue and Gu Cheng said at the same time, cupping their fists.
Gu Qing nodded imperceptibly.
He turned back to look at Gu Tingyue, stared for a while, avoided Gu Tingyue's gaze, his face turned a little red, and then looked at Gu Cheng, as if his eyes were real, pulling Gu Cheng back from his fantasy.
Gu Cheng's heart felt a little heavy.
He lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the foundation-building senior.
Although this senior's identity is only the guest minister of their Gu family, not even the elder guest minister, which is far inferior to him as the head of the family, in fact, this senior killed him casually and will not be held accountable, regardless of the island owner. Neither the other side, nor the master's side, would stand up for him. Because of him, an ant in the middle stage of Qi refining, he offended a monk in the foundation building stage.
"A certain general is traveling far away." Gu Qing looked at Gu Tingyue and Gu Cheng, and then slowly said, "I can give all the seal talismans made in the past ten days to you two for sale. When I return, if I find any You two are enriching your own pockets..."
"I wouldn't dare!"
"Tingyue is willing to swear with the Taoist heart..."
After hearing what he said, Gu Cheng and Gu Tingyue spoke quickly.
Gu Qing turned around and continued to look at the black pool.
He waved his hand and said, "No need! I don't think you two have the guts to deceive Yu! In addition to this matter, this maid will stay in the Gu family to supervise you two, and provide all the resources needed for their cultivation. It will be provided by your family for now, do you two have any objections?"
"It's what you wish for."
"Just leave this matter to Ting Yue."
Gu Cheng and Gu Tingyue agreed.
Gu Qing was silent for a moment and waved his sleeves towards his side.
Immediately, the five-color brilliance spread on the shore of the black water pool, and soon collapsed into piles of spiritual talismans, first level, second level... Gu Cheng looked at it with a smile on his face, and could hardly suppress his joy.
The white spirit stone was placed at his feet. If the senior hadn't been there, Gu Cheng would have been unable to hold back and pounced on it.
Gu Cheng realized something at this time.
He raised his head slightly and saw that the senior was no longer there.
Leave only one sentence.
"If it's as late as half a year, if it's as short as three months, it will definitely come back."
The loud sound echoed near the Blackwater Pool.
An Menghuan, Gu Cheng, and Gu Tingyue were all silent for a moment until the loud sound dissipated. Gu Tingyue walked towards An Menghuan, while Gu Cheng threw himself on the ground and counted the talismans.
"Spiritual stones! These are all white and colorful spiritual stones!"
"Auntie, with these spiritual stones, our Gu family is still worried about being able to prosper? What you said that day has come true!"
Gu Cheng's slightly youthful voice sounded suppressed.
Gu Tingyue didn't feel much joy because of this. She came to the side of An Menghui who was stunned and looked in the direction of An Menghui's eyes.
She sighed secretly.
The foundation-building monks flew away in the air and disappeared without a trace. They were so free and unrestrained, coming and going carefree, so enviable! But in this world, only one cultivator can successfully build a foundation. Although she has a long life now, people often say that with her talent, she will be able to build a foundation in the future. But can she really succeed?
Gu Tingyue knew where her shortcomings were. Although she had good talent and was progressing quickly in cultivation, she had never fought in a fight or perfected her Qi, so she began to fear that she would die if she failed to break the mirror.
"Sister Tingyue, please take care of me in the future." An Meng turned back to look at Gu Tingyue with a smile.
"How can I take care of you? I am lucky to have my sister back in my dream!" Gu Tingyue responded with a smile, her bright eyes curved into crescent moons, which made people happy to see her.
"Although the Gu family is small, it is still a place to stay."
After Gu Qing left the Gu family, he went to Yinyuefang City.
The reason why he chose to be the guest of the Gu family was because the Gu family was weak. As the guest of this weak family, he would not only have a place to stay, but also have absolute autonomy.
Moreover, he can also exercise certain control over this weak family, such as asking the people of this family to do something for him. It can be said that he controls a small force in disguise.
Of course, he couldn't let the monks of this family do too many things unless he forced them, which was not what he wanted.
If he did not choose such a weak small force, but joined some big force as a guest minister, his current cultivation would be more than enough, and the support he received from the big force would definitely not be too little.
But that will inevitably cause him to lose some autonomy, and the internal affairs of big forces are often complicated. Even he has to walk on thin ice, not to mention that he was injured at the beginning. If he rashly joins a big force, he might just come to deliver food to people. Looking for death.
"This time my injuries have completely recovered and I have absorbed most of Li Hengyang's cultivation. I wonder how far my strength has reached?" Gu Qing flew close to the ground and walked silently through the dense forest.
He had previously thought that after absorbing most of Li Hengyang's cultivation, his strength should have reached the late stage of foundation building, but that was not possible.
To what extent his true strength reaches, he still needs to find a suitable opponent and verify it. Now that he is on Changming Island in the Linyu Sea of the Vast Sea, he naturally wants to go to sea and experience it.
Regardless of whether they are demon cultivators, human cultivators, or other beings, they must at least prove their strength and find ways to obtain cultivation resources.
Although he has decided to suspend the practice of the Great Five Elements Condensing Magic, the practice of the power of the ancient demon seems to consume more training resources.
"How many miles can the map of this sea area cover?"
"Fellow Taoist, the map of this sea area is extremely well-marked, and it contains the magic of the compass, which can identify the direction. It is really the best choice for going to sea to experience! Now you only need ten middle-grade spiritual stones... Hey! Don't leave! Fellow Taoist, please stay! How about eight middle-grade spiritual stones?"
Just arrived at Silver Moon
In the hustle and bustle of the market, two voices were separated by Gu Qing and attracted his attention.
Naturally, he had to prepare sea maps and compasses.
Otherwise, the sea is vast, and any situation may occur. If you get lost, you may fly somewhere.
If he reached a dangerous place, he might die without knowing it. So as soon as Gu Qing entered Yinyuefang City, he let go of his five senses and captured the surrounding information about sea maps and compasses.
"How many miles can the map of this sea area cover?" Gu Qing took a few steps and passed through the crowd like a breeze. He came to a stall and looked at the stall owner who had just turned around.
The stall owner was cursing at the customer just now.
Suddenly, there was a figure in front of me. When I saw it clearly, I was shocked.
He recognized Gu Qing!
This stall owner was clearly a Five Elements Sect monk who had been coerced by Li Hengyang to track Gu Qing. He had a chubby figure. He had gained a lot of weight due to this incident, and his small eyes were sunken.
"Has this fellow Taoist met Gu?" Gu Qing narrowed his eyes.
This person's reaction was very strange.
It looked like he had seen his face before!
Obviously, he had never seen this fat monk before.
Have you ever seen it at the auction in Kurongfang?
No, he was wearing a breathing robe at that time!
Or, have you seen it somewhere else?
Gu Qing guessed.
He really didn't expect that the person in front of him was the person who had fallen far behind him, allowing Li Hengyang to know where he had entered the space of the stone monument.
Based on Gu Qing's understanding of Li Hengyang, he thought that the guy who was used by Li Hengyang to lock his position would have been crushed by Li Hengyang long ago. Who would have thought that Li Hengyang would spare his life.
It can be seen that Gu Qing's understanding of Li Hengyang is still somewhat superficial.
Li Hengyang is by no means ruthless. Although he is a capable girl from the Demon Sect, he has no scruples in attacking his master who has been a master and apprentice for hundreds of years. However, he will not kill wantonly. This is also for his own cultivation. , killing too much will harm the harmony of heaven and harm your cultivation.
In this way, it will become more and more hopeless for him to form a pill.
"Uh... the auras are somewhat similar. I would like to ask this fellow Daoist Gu, has he ever participated in an auction in Kurongfang, Beize? I, Yu Zhengyang, happen to have a technique to capture the monks' aura, so I can recognize him. Fellow."
Cold sweat almost broke out on the stall owner's forehead, and he immediately started talking nonsense.
Although it was nonsense, it was still well-founded and pointed out that Gu Qing had participated in the Kurongfang auction.
In this way, if Gu Qing was just a Qi refining monk, he would have been fooled.
But Gu Qing is a foundation-building monk after all!
Gu Qing was silent for a moment, then sneered: "Ha!"
"How could you recognize Gu when Gu was wearing a breath-covering robe? Even though your ability to capture breath is extremely advanced and can bypass the breath-covering robe, how can you capture Gu's breath today? Hmm. ?」
Gu Qing stared at the stall owner.
The stall owner, Yu Zhengyang, was still trembling in his heart.
The guy in front of me was the one who survived in the terrifying late stage of foundation building, even in the hands of the old monster in the fake elixir realm!
How terrifying is it?
At least in the foundation building period!
He actually told a lie that was full of loopholes in front of this guy. To use a common saying, it was really a centenarian who ate arsenic, that one thought he had a long life!
If he lets this guy target him, wouldn't it mean that he has no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth? It's really unlucky. Why did he come to this shabby Yinyuefang City to set up a stall? If he can survive this disaster today, he will never come to Changming Island...Linyu Sea Area in his lifetime! At worst, we'll go back to land and make a big circle!
"Don't block the road if you don't want to buy it! You... Taoist friend! I have admitted the wrong person, so I'll take my leave!" A monk who had attained the Great Perfection realm of Qi Refining stamped his feet in front of Yu Zhengyang's stall and scolded Gu Qing. However, he sensed that Gu Qing was feeling relaxed. As soon as he breathed out, his face turned into pig liver, and he hurriedly blended into the crowd.
Seeing this, Yu Zhengyang forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Bitterness! Bitterness!"
He sighed twice in his heart.
Immediately.
Facing Gu Qing's scorching gaze, he lowered his head as if resigned to his fate, rushed over and hugged Gu Qing's boots: "Senior! Senior, junior is also being used by others! Junior is also being used by that old immortal guy, who uses his junior sister to intimidate him, so he dares to follow him. Senior! Senior, you are aware of this, boy... wuwuwu!"
Yu Zhengyang cried whenever he wanted to, and he cried very loudly.
Gu Qing's eyes flickered slightly, a bit strange.
