"This is gold-plated sand."
Qing Pingzi, who was holding the pile of golden rice-paper-like paper, could not suppress the joy on his face, "It is the best material for making offensive talismans and seals."
In this era, spiritual energy has just emerged, but there are very few real spiritual materials.
Things are rare and valuable. When there is no spiritual energy, spiritual energy cannot be exchanged for a lot of money. Now that spiritual energy is available in the world, the value of spiritual materials that can carry spiritual energy to a great extent has also increased.
Among the various arts of cultivating immortals, the four most famous ones are alchemy, talisman and seal script, formations, and weapon training.
Among them, there has been no progress in alchemy even in the Buzhou Mountains - mundane things cannot refine elixir at all, and it cannot be achieved by stacking years.
In addition, the ratio of the elixir itself was obtained through various explorations by the ancestors, and it has been streamlined to the extreme. Wanting to simplify it again is tantamount to wishful thinking.
With no spiritual plants available, the alchemy path is now like a pearl covered in dust. Not only is it dim, but it also has no way out.
If you want to take drugs, there is no place to do so.
The situation of weapon refining is similar to that of elixir refining. It is difficult to find suitable spiritual materials, which is insignificant.
On the contrary, the methods of talismans and formations are shining brightly today!
The talisman seal itself only needs to be made of materials that support spiritual energy, and the requirements for spiritual materials are minimal. If it is not available, white paper is not unusable, but the storage time will be slightly shorter and the effect will be weakened.
As for the method of formation, there are also methods that do not require formation eyes and formation flags. It is just a little more troublesome and will not last for too long before someone needs to replenish it. But no matter what, it can still be used!
Nowadays, if you want to explore the path of immortality, the most worthy choice among the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortality is the way of talismans and formations.
The needs of other side sects are even more bizarre. Without the inheritance of the eight serious scriptures, ordinary monks cannot even get started.
No wonder Qing Pingzi was overjoyed. With such a large amount of gilded sand as a backing, wouldn't it be easy to get started with the art of talisman and seal script?
He was easily several blocks ahead of others!
"You call this thing sand?"
Gu Dan stared at the pile of golden rice paper in his arms, his mouth slightly twitching.
"This is the gilded sand that has been processed by the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations."
Qing Pingzi took out one and flicked it with his finger.
The golden paper was actually tumbling up and down like waves, and you could vaguely see thousands of golden lights flowing in it, which looked very magical.
"In order to get these things, the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations secretly killed all the masters of one country. Now it is an advantage for us."
Qing Pingzi was quite happy.
The Wan Guo Chamber of Commerce committed evil on its own, and it was natural for it to be destroyed by the group. However, those families had enough wealth to support the grandmasters of Xia Kingdom.
A gold belt for murder and arson, but no corpses for repairing bridges and roads!
The treasures accumulated by the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations for decades are about to change hands.
"That's not bad."
Gu Dan nodded slightly.
"Mr. Gu, look at this."
Xunke came to him with a piece of bamboo and handed it to him.
The bamboo was purple all over, as if made of jade, with clear joints, straight and leafless, and there was almost no big difference from the jade bamboo that Tao Shushan had taken out before, except for the color.
However, after taking it into his hands, Gu Dan discovered something different.
This bamboo is extremely moist to the touch, no, to be precise, it feels like your own skin is stretched out, without any discomfort at all.
Gu Dan danced lightly, and it could be said that he was very good at it, without any feeling of stiffness at all. When it rose up, the true energy was submerged into the purple bamboo, and there was no obstruction at all, as if there was an extra body.
This is an effect that no magical weapon in the world has!
Otherwise, most masters would not have to fight the enemy with bare hands.
"It's interesting."
This time, Gu Dan finally became interested.
The purple bamboo streaked through the air with streaks of light, without any sound of breaking wind, and it was as if it was directed by its arms wherever it went.
Not only that, when Gu Dan tried to sense it with his spiritual consciousness, his spiritual consciousness actually penetrated into the purple bamboo, and even gained a faint boost!
As soon as he thought about it, some white lotus petals appeared at the end of the purple bamboo, swaying, and the whole looked exceptionally harmonious, as if lotus leaves should grow on the purple bamboo.
"Good fellow, with true energy and spiritual thoughts, we won't refuse anyone who comes!"
There was a glint in Gu Dan's eyes, and he was extremely satisfied.
He captured a lot of weapons, but almost never used them.
The Grand Master's physical body has surpassed many weapons in the mortal world and is of no use at all. They are not as useful as fists.
But this purple bamboo is different. It has no resistance to his power, and even has a slight amplification effect. The whole thing is straight and flawless, and can be used as a stick.
Gu Dan let go of his hand, but Zizhu did not fall, but directly suspended in the air.
Following the instructions of his mind, Zizhu continued to make various movements without slacking off.
"nice one!"
Gu Dan nodded. Even if this thing was taken out, it would be useful enough to yin people. After retaining one's own energy and spiritual thoughts, it could also be considered as 'fighting side by side', but it only required two separate tasks.
"According to people from the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations, this bamboo is the metamorphosis of the three-thousand-year-old jade bamboo. Its name should be purple jade bamboo. It is a rare treasure. Its material is comparable to high-grade spiritual weapons. It is particularly special. At this time, I am afraid that there is no more useful weapon in the world than this."
Xun Ke said seriously.
According to the scriptures left behind by the Immortal Dao, low-grade spiritual weapons are enough for the refining period, middle-grade spiritual weapons are for foundation-building who have just been promoted, and high-grade spiritual weapons are enough for foundation-building monks to use their full talents.
Further up is the magic weapon, which is not something ordinary monks can get their hands on, so let’s not mention it.
With this purple jade bamboo, at least until the golden elixir stage, there is no need to find other things to use as weapons. It can be said that it is done in one step.
When fighting with others, you no longer need to rely on your physical body to take risks. After all, the immortal way and the martial way are not connected, and there are many places for evil people!
"It seems that we have to thank the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations for giving us a gift package for cultivating immortals."
Gu Dan accepted the purple cloud bamboo without any burden.
The three grandmasters of the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations, including the Foundation Establishment Strike, were all eliminated by him. He was the first to pick out all the trophies, which was natural and natural. The grandmasters of the Xia Dynasty had no objections.
It was their turn to discuss things that Gu Dan didn't like.
After showing Gu Dan all the treasures collected by the All Nations Chamber of Commerce, there were no new special surprises - the most hidden things by the All Nations Chamber of Commerce were actually the skeletons of the masters, and rare treasures were only a few of them.
Greed is enough to make a snake swallow an elephant. Where in the world is there so much left for people to pick up?
If they really wanted to be everywhere, the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations would not travel thousands of miles to dig graves everywhere.
Being able to have a purple jade bamboo that is comparable to a high-grade spiritual weapon is considered a blessing.
In addition to those messy and weird treasures, Gu Dan also asked for all the spiritual stones from the All Nations Chamber of Commerce. In fact, there were not many, only ten pieces, each piece was about the size of a baby's fist.
This thing is a consumable, and the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations did not bring out much. After all, every piece of their spiritual stone was condensed by the monks themselves, and most of the time it was actually used as currency for trading rare treasures.
"For other things, you just have to divide them up."
After taking the spirit stone and purple cloud bamboo, Gu Dan waved his hand and said.
"You don't want any of these things?"
Zou Dan was slightly startled.
The Universal Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce after all, and there are still many things. Although the most valuable one is definitely the Purple Cloud Bamboo, the other rare treasures can also be used as help in the immortal path.
"It's not of much use to me, but you can use it. Just take what you need. Some of it will be left to the Xia Dynasty as a foundation, and some of it will be regarded as the expense of your service to the Xia Dynasty for so many years."
Gu Dan said casually.
For example, the gilded sand that made Qing Pingzi very happy, even if it was refined into talismans and seals, it would be difficult to cause much harm to the foundation-building monks. What use would Gu Dan have for him?
"Thank you, Your Excellency!"
The other masters clasped their fists in thanksgiving. Gu Dan's generosity was completely beyond their expectations.
Only Wang Mang looked at Gu Dan thoughtfully and asked, "Brother Gu, aren't you going to the Buzhou Mountains?"
These things are indeed not of much use to Gu Dan, but they are useful to others!
If you don't use it yourself, you won't be able to use it to exchange it for others for what you need.
Based on Gu Dan's strength and contribution, it was natural for him to take most of it, and no one would have any objections.
Unless Gu Dan doesn't even have this need.
"I said I would protect the mortal world for the rest of my life."
Gu Dan smiled and said, "The Buzhou Mountain Range is there, and it won't run away. So what if we give them another twenty or thirty years?"
"Brother Gu."
Wang Mang was a little excited, or moved.
In terms of Gu Dan's strength, Xia Chao has no help to him.
Or it should be said that from the beginning, it was Xia Chao who needed Gu Dan, not Gu Dan who needed Xia Chao.
Now that the news of the immortal fate has finally come, Gu Dan would rather stay in the Xia Dynasty. This silent contribution is not unimportant.
As long as he is here, Xia Dynasty will not be able to cause any more troubles.
It is no lie that one person can control a country.
Even if all the grandmasters of the Xia Dynasty have left, there is nothing to worry about when Gu Dan is here!
Xun Ke looked at the rare treasures placed casually on the ground, which could make people jealous, and walked up to Gu Dan's side. He smiled and said, "I don't need these things either."
"What? You're still young, why don't you try something new?"
Gu Dan seemed a little dissatisfied.
He did not want to hinder the younger generation.
It was his choice to stay in Xia Dynasty, because he had an unspoken guilt in his heart.
"My way is in this world. No matter how good the immortal way is, it has nothing to do with me."
Xun Ke shrugged slightly, "I will make Confucianism prosper and educate the world. The sufferings that happened in the past will definitely not happen again while I am alive."
"Hey."
Qin Lisheng also came over, but as soon as he spoke, he knew that he was annoying: "The Mohist family is still here, but there is nothing wrong with the Confucian family."
"That's not what you said."
Xun Ke raised his eyebrows slightly.
"What you said doesn't count."
Birds are better than mediocre.
The two of them still looked at each other as tit-for-tat, just like when they were young.
Looking at the two people in front of him, Gu Dan couldn't help but laugh.
Brother Mo, you did teach two good apprentices!
No matter how noble the immortal way is, there will always be those who disdain it.
But there are only these two.
Whether it was Qing Pingzi, Zhuang Sheng or Zou Dan, including the other masters of the Xia Dynasty, they all chose their favorite treasures.
They are about to leave the Xia Dynasty and rush to the Buzhou Mountains, to the place where immortals are cultivated in the world, and to start a new life.
After leaving, I am afraid that I will never see Xia Chao again.
The Immortal Path is not as beautiful as imagined, and it also has a huge demand for resources.
What's more, the Buzhou Mountains can only be regarded as the budding state of immortality. The foundation-building monks are only three or two kittens, and it is not considered a sound cultivation system at all.
It will take an unknown number of years of development before the glory of the Immortal Way can truly be restored.
And being a Grandmaster does not mean that the Immortal Path can be unimpeded, nor does it mean that one can constantly break through.
The lifespan of a master is one hundred and twenty years old, the lifespan of a Qi practitioner is a hundred and fifty years, and the lifespan of a foundation builder is only three hundred years.
For more than forty years, the foundation-building monks in the Buzhou Mountains have tried their best, but they are all less than one hand. This shows that the path to immortality is not that simple.
Judging from the ages of the Xia Dynasty masters, Zou Dan and Zhuang Sheng have a greater chance. Others, including Qing Pingzi, don't have much time left for them.
If the foundation is not established within a few decades, even if there is no accident, it will be a dead end.
But it is precisely because of this that they have to give it a try!
They were already tired of the life of a grandmaster.
For immortality, at least there is still hope.
Whether it is challenging one's own limits or challenging the limits of the big limit, it is enough for people to spend a lifetime fighting.
This is one aspect that Gu Dan, as an immortal, is lacking.
If you can reach the end point by following the steps, then Gu Dan will definitely be able to reach it as long as nothing happens.
Therefore, he lacked the consciousness of being 'broken into pieces'.
But correspondingly, he is also more calm and unhurried than everyone else, and can even suppress many desires that ordinary people find difficult to suppress.
After all, he practices to protect the Tao, not to compete with anyone.
On the basis of protecting the Tao, trying not to leave any regrets is the goal Gu Dan has set for himself.
Xia Chao still has people he cares about, and his emotional support has not yet come to an end.
"Without further ado."
After decorating the things, Qing Pingzi came to Gu Dan. Looking at Gu Dan, who was still in his thirties or forties, he said with some emotion: "We are ready to leave today."
"Then I won't give it away."
Gu Dan had nothing to say goodbye.
The relationship between him and Qing Pingzi is not deep, and they can only be regarded as walking together for a while.
The grudges and grudges of the past have long been buried in the wind and sand, and now when I think about them again, they are even a little funny.
"You are the most surprising person I have ever met."
Qing Pingzi made a bow and said seriously: "When you come to Buzhou Mountains, remember to come to me for a drink."
