Gu Chen has been here at Qingyang Gate for more than a day or two. Although he is dedicated to practicing, he is in a strange place after all. How can he not know something about this place?
In the past, even if he wanted to understand, it would be troublesome. Although he was in the Qingyang Gate, there was no outsider in the entire Donglai Peak. He was isolated and lonely. He had no topic to talk with Liu Zhen, and with Qingyang. Sub-chat cannot be about these trivial matters, and the news can be described as closed.
But since Luo Cheng and the other four people came up from Donglai Peak, although Gu Chen still had very few topics in common with them, they could still know something even through hearsay.
The four of them have been disciples of the mountain sect at the main peak for a year. They want to become official disciples of the Qingyang sect. Naturally, they need to know more about the Qingyang sect from all aspects. Among them, the Qingyang Grand Competition is after Enlightenment. important matters.
Gu Chen heard that the Qingyang Competition was also caused by Luo Cheng suddenly mentioning it in front of him in recent days.
Although he didn't know what Luo Cheng meant, he somehow knew the news about the Qingyang Competition.
As an important competition of the Qingyang Sect, it is arranged half a year after the awakening of the awakening stone. The purpose is to measure the strength of the disciples. Those with outstanding results will receive generous rewards. Especially according to Luo Cheng, this year's Qingyang Competition The rewards are especially generous.
Gu Chen didn't care what the reward would be, he knew his identity very well.
Although he is in the Qingyang Sect, he is not actually a disciple of the Qingyang Sect and has no sense of belonging to this sect. On the contrary, he is ostracized everywhere in this sect and has to guard against overt and covert attacks. If not With Qingyangzi guarding him, with his current strength, he could not move even an inch in this sect, and he was picked apart by a group of wolves and tigers in minutes, leaving no bones left.
After all, the Qingyang Competition has nothing to do with him, because it has always been a grand event that only Qingyang Sect disciples can participate in, so he, an outsider, doesn't have to care about it at all.
Moreover, on the other hand, the more generous the rewards of the Qingyang Competition, the more intense the competition will be. There are many disciples in the Qingyang Sect, and it is already a situation where there are more wolves and less meat. If there is more of him, there will be one more variable. Who can I wouldn't want to have one more opponent come to snatch it.
Gu Chen didn't think that Qingyang Dabi could be related to him emotionally or rationally, but now that Qingyangzi asked about it, things were naturally not that simple. Qingyangzi never said meaningless words.
Gu Chen reacted immediately and asked, "Do you want me to participate?"
Qingyangzi nodded, but added: "No one can force you."
Gu Chen thought for a while, then suddenly looked at Qingyangzi and asked, "Do you want me to participate?"
Qingyangzi was stunned and said, "Why are you asking me?"
Gu Chen smiled casually and said, "If you ask me to participate, I will participate."
Then Gu Chen added: "Of course, I feel that this Qingyang Competition is fiercely competitive, and it may be a rare experience for me. It doesn't matter if I have it, but it doesn't hurt if I have it."
"You kid..."
Qingyangzi shook his head helplessly.
Gu Chen is so smart that he can even detect what's going on in his heart.
If it was only for the sake of Gu Chen, Qingyangzi would not want Gu Chen to participate in this kind of thing. Gu Chen's status is special, and it is not appropriate to be too deeply involved with the Qingyang Sect, lest he will be unable to escape in the future, and there will be Continuous trouble.
But Qingyangzi could no longer think about the problem solely from Gu Chen's perspective. There were some things that he had not expected. Now he had something on his mind, thinking that this Qingyang Competition might also be an opportunity.
If not, he wouldn't have to think so much, he could simply reject Qingshan Su and calm their minds.
But now, he was inevitably hesitant before he thought about it and asked Gu Chen if he knew about the Qingyang Competition.
In fact, in his heart, he still hoped that Gu Chen could participate in this Qingyang Competition.
Gu Chen also saw this, so he said such words.
But precisely because the two of them knew what they were thinking, it was even harder for Qingyangzi to make a decision.
Every time he was inclined to let Gu Chen get involved, he would have many worries, thinking about what would happen to Gu Chen in the future?
If one day he is no longer around, how can Gu Chen protect himself?
The last thought was a bit shocking, even Qingyangzi was frightened by this sudden thought.
How could he have thought that one day he would be gone?
With his cultivation level reaching his level, who else in this world can do nothing to defeat him?
Just thinking about the abnormality in his body during this period, especially since he still couldn't find the reason, Qingyangzi felt relieved. This idea was not without reason, and everything had been traced for a long time.
But in this way, he couldn't let Gu Chen get involved.
His thoughts moved slightly, and he was about to speak when he saw someone else coming from outside the peak.
Qingyangzi's face brightened slightly when he saw the person coming. It was not an uninvited guest this time.
Here comes Ai Ling.
Ai Ling came with a can of tea.
It is the aged agarwood tea.
Qingyangzi's eyes lit up when he saw Ai Ling bringing agarwood tea, and his appetite was whetted as if seeing delicious food.
The age of this jar of agarwood tea is unknown, but it must be older than what she has drunk before. If not, Ai Ling would not have to send it at all.
The older the agarwood tea is, the more mellow and delicious it is. However, for those who drink aged tea, if they drink tea that is younger, it will be like drinking bitter water. It is not tasteless, but it is difficult to drink.
"Senior brother."
Ai Ling greeted him and her eyes fell on Gu Chen again. She was deeply impressed by this young man.
"senior."
Ai Ling smiled and said, "You are senior brother's adopted son. Senior brother and I are as close as brothers and sisters. You can call me aunt."
Gu Chen looked at Qingyangzi.
Qingyangzi smiled and nodded lightly.
Gu Chen called softly: "Auntie."
Ai Ling smiled, shook the tea can in her hand, and said, "This time, I brought you something good."
Before he finished speaking, the sound of boiling water could be heard.
Ai Ling was startled, then she saw that Qingyangzi was very diligent and had used Dao fire to sweep the whole pot of spiritual water to a boil. She couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing Qingyangzi's behavior, I just felt that my trip was just right.
Gu Chen also understood what he was talking about and sat down beside him.
Gu Chen has been listening to Qingyangzi talk about how delicious the fine agarwood tea he drank before, and also devalued the tea given to him by Xu Mushan as worthless. Gu Chen has never been convinced, but he wants to give this kind of tea a try. What does the so-called fine tea taste like?
As I thought about it, I couldn't help but look back towards the cave.
I saw that Liu Zhen's cave was tightly closed, with no sign of opening.
Gu Chen couldn't help but secretly feel pity, thinking that the other party would miss such a good thing.
But she soon felt relieved. Ai Ling came here with a full can, and she couldn't drink it all in one sitting. Liu Zhen could still drink it after she left seclusion.
Gu Chen would think of Liu Zhen, not because he cared about him or wanted to make peace with him, but because he was Qingyangzi's disciple after all. Even if he was just a registered disciple, Qingyangzi treated his disciples and adopted sons. It's hard to give people a reason to favor one over another.
The aroma of tea overflowed, and all of Gu Chen's thoughts suddenly drifted out of the sky.
The fragrance of the tea was refreshing, and Gu Chen felt that his soul was sublimated, as if he was in a state of selflessness.
My thoughts were floating high, getting farther and farther away from the human world, and my worries were getting smaller and smaller, until finally, at that moment, the ice disappeared.
The sea of consciousness is clear and ethereal, and the fragrance of tea takes him into different artistic conceptions one after another, soaring freely between heaven and earth.
Gu Chen found that his way of cultivation became clear at this moment. The energy in his meridians was running smoothly, and in the fragrance of tea, his spirituality increased.
His body is spontaneously absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body, and those spiritual energy are converted into sword-shaped elemental energy in the meridians. This process is actually more convenient, and the conversion rate is much higher than before. The remaining sword-shaped elemental energy More and more, they merged into other energy in the meridians, like thousands of troops crossing the border, and began to attack the nearby checkpoint.
Gu Chen suddenly woke up.
Just the aroma of this cup of tea made him feel like he was on the verge of a breakthrough, and this feeling was getting stronger, so it must not be an illusion.
He drank the tea in one gulp, and without even having time to say anything more, he was sitting cross-legged on one side, closing his eyes and meditating, guiding all the sword-shaped energy in his meridians, launching an offensive in his meridians, and charging into the battle.
