Liu Hong also sighed: "The family does not have a Xu Dan. Even if we hire a Xu Dan, will that Xu Dan do his best? Or will he swallow up our family?"
"I know too, but that will always happen in the future. The family is in urgent need of a Xudan to take charge. It's all useless for the eldest brother."
The next day.
Gu Shuo was walking on the streets of Longhe City, followed by the young maid Chunxiang and the young servant Qiang behind him. Along the way, Chunhua chattered and introduced the shops on both sides to Gu Shuo. Gu Shuo didn't ask about the Liu family. In fact, on the way to Longhe City, Gu Shuo learned everything about the Liu family from the mouths of the bodyguards.
"Old man, that is the largest store in Longhe City, with the most complete range of things. It also sells martial arts and Taoist techniques."
Gu Shuo's heart moved: "Go in and take a look."
When I walked into the shop, I saw a lot of monks inside, buying various cultivation resources. Chunxiang introduced Gu Shuo from the side:
"The first floor is where various materials are sold and purchased. The second floor is where elixirs and talismans are sold. The third floor is where weapons and formations are sold. The fourth floor is where various exercises and Taoist techniques are sold. The old man wants Which floor are you going to?"
"Fourth floor."
Following the stairs to the fourth floor, we saw many monks on the fourth floor. Gu Shuo walked slowly along the counter and looked at the shelves behind the counter. There were books there, and there were brief introductions on the bookshelves about what realms of cultivation those books could achieve.
Gu Shuo spent half an hour turning around, looking disappointed.
The largest and most comprehensive store in Longhe City actually didn't sell a single cultivation method that directly leads to the golden elixir.
But think about it, a book of exercises that can directly access the golden elixir can be a treasure for establishing a second-rate sect. It is impossible to circulate on the market. Even if it exists, it should be through auction. Immediately, he lost interest and left the shop with Chunxiang and Brother Qiang. As Liu Hong's maid, Chunxiang had a strong ability to observe people's emotions. Seeing Gu Shuo's lack of interest, she said:
"Old man, do you want to buy exercises?"
"Well, I want to buy the kind of technique that can directly reach the golden elixir."
Chunxiang shook her head and said: "This is impossible. Even if it does exist, it will be in the form of an auction."
"Is there any auction now?"
"I don't know. I'll ask the lady when I get back. However, we can go to the open-air market to have a look." Chunxiang suddenly became excited.
Gu Shuo naturally knew what the open-air market was, and he also opened up an open-air market among the markets in the Qianyue Mountains. There are three religions and nine streams, and people of all kinds gather there. There are a lot of fake and inferior things there, but there are also many legends about picking up things. Every monk who goes to the open-air market has a heart to pick out things. This is also why Chunxiang is excited. But more people are deceived in the open market. When Gu Shuo thought that he had Zongmu, he became interested and said:
"Come on, let's go take a look."
The three people came to the open-air market, which was a square opened by Longhe City. There were no shops here, only open-air stalls. And there are no fixed stalls, whoever occupies them owns them. Gu Shuo entered from the east and began to stroll around slowly. He had plenty of time anyway, so he didn't turn on his Zongmu. It would probably take a day to visit such a large square, and Gu Shuo's Zongmu wouldn't last that long.
However, after shopping for less than half an hour, Gu Shuo lost interest. Even if Gu Shuo didn't open Zongmu, he didn't think the things on the stall were good things. Looking around, I saw a teahouse on the edge of the square, and my heart moved:
"Chunxiang, let's go to the teahouse to have a rest."
"Go and rest now, I haven't picked up the leak yet."
Gu Shuo shook his head, you still want to pick up the slack? His face is full of thoughts of picking up leaks, it would be nice not to be deceived and lose all his spiritual stones. Too lazy to pay attention to her, he walked towards the teahouse. Chunhua followed behind and muttered, and Brother Qiang followed behind, holding back his laughter.
Chunhua is the most enthusiastic person in the Liu family about picking up leaks. From the master to the servants, no one is more fanatical than her. All the money every month is spent on picking up leaks, but so far, she has not succeeded in picking up leaks. But still enthusiastic and tireless.
Walking into the teahouse, he came to the window on the top floor. While the tea lady was making tea, Gu Shuo looked at Chunxiang with a bulging face and couldn't help but ask with a smile:
"Chunxiang, do you often go to the outdoor market to pick up leaks?"
"Yeah!" When it came to picking up leaks, Chunxiang immediately became excited: "I come here almost once a month."
"Come here once a month?" Gu Shuo couldn't help but wonder, is this regular?
Brother Qiang, who was forced to sit aside by Gu Shuo, whispered: "That's because the monthly payment is only given once a month."
Chunxiang glared at Brother Qiang angrily, while Gushuo looked stunned. He came to pick up the missing money as soon as the money was issued. Isn't this too... fanatical?
"Do you come every time the money is distributed?"
Chunxiang nodded with her fingers in front of her: "Yeah!"
Gu Shuo was curious: "How many times have you successfully picked it up?"
Chunxiang lowered her head: "Not once."
"Tsk, you are so addicted to food!"
"Pfft..." Even the tea lady who made the tea couldn't help laughing, and then hurriedly saluted: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Gu Shuo waved his hand and motioned for her to go down. Chunxiang raised her head unconvinced and clenched her fists: "I will definitely succeed...once."
"You're hopeless!" Gu Shuo shook his head and sighed.
"Chi chi chi..." Brother Qiang lowered his head and couldn't help it.
Gu Shuo picked up a cup of tea and drank a cup, looking around. Half of the seats in the hall were occupied. They were all coming here to rest after visiting the open-air market, or a few people gathered together to check whether the things they bought were. No, the sound of chatter in the hall reached Gu Shuo's ears.
"Have you heard about the dragon river anaconda that turned into a dragon to survive the tribulation?"
"This is the most sensational thing recently. How could you not have heard of it? There are also rumors that the old man is Gu Shuo of Qingyun Sect."
"That's impossible. There has been no news from Gu Shuo for a year, right?"
"For more than a year, I have a friend who is a disciple of the Qingyun Sect, and I had dinner with him half a year ago. According to him, Gu Shuo has been staying at the inner gate of the Qingyun Sect, and Bei Xueling, the daughter of the Bei Sect leader, often pushes the wheelchair and takes him with him. Following him around the sect, Gu Shuo has already started to look like a fool. Alas..."
"Alas..." Everyone also sighed, feeling sorry for Gu Shuo.
"Besides, that old man can kill a dragon with one sword. He must be a golden elixir, right? Maybe he is in the late stage of the golden elixir."
"These are not the important points!" Another monk waved his hand and said: "I have received the latest news. Many monks are rushing to the place where they transformed into dragons to overcome the tribulation."
"Why?"
"According to the information I got, some people think that the cave where the dragon turns into a dragon is within the Dragon River. That's the dragon's cave, and it can be considered a dragon palace, right? Can there be too many treasures inside?"
Gu Shuo almost raised his hand and slapped his forehead. Others might have thought that the transformed dragon just chose the Dragon River to cross the tribulation, but Gu Shuo knew that the transformed dragon grew in the Dragon River because the transformed dragon had been refined. Transformed into a thousand miles of dragon river. Longhe is his home, which means that Huajiao has lived in Longhe for who knows how many years. Maybe it has lasted for thousands of years. In a thousand years, with the nature of turning into a dragon, I don't know how many water monsters I have killed, and I don't know how many human monks I have killed in the past. I must have collected a lot of treasures. That was simply a huge treasure. How could I have forgotten it?
"No, I have to go back and take a look."
Gu Shuo made up his mind and planned to go to the Long River place thousands of miles away to investigate. After listening to it for a while, they were all about the anaconda turning into a dragon and the Dragon Palace. I had already made a decision in my heart, so I stopped paying attention. I turned my head and looked out the window, my eyes fell on the open-air market, and I opened my eyes. . He came here because he wanted to be condescending, activate the technique of looking at the air, and observe whether there are any leaks in this open-air market that can be picked up?
"Oh, it really does!" A smile appeared on Gu Shuo's face.
In the huge square, he saw some light spots. Those light spots were treasure lights, but those light spots were very weak. There was only one place, not a light spot, but a light pillar, which made Gu Shuo's heart beat. He was not in a hurry, and counted it first. There were a total of twenty-eight light points and that one light pillar. He memorized the directions, then stood up and left. Chunxiang was naturally paying the money behind him.
"Old man, old man, where are you going?" Chunhua chased after him after paying.
"Go pick up the leaks!" Gu Shuo said with a smile, and then went straight to the light pillar stall.
"Great!" Chunxiang waved her fist, and Brother Qiang behind her smiled bitterly.
Gu Shuo went straight to the stall with the light beam. When he was about ten meters away from the stall, Gu Shuo slowed down, opened his eyes again, looked at the stall, and found that a gourd the size of a baby's fist was emitting a beam of light. , put away his eyes, and slowly followed the flow of people towards the stall, while looking at the stall, he couldn't help but laugh.
This stall is literally a big grocery store with everything on it. There are ores, herbs, elixirs stored in jade bottles, old or even broken weapons, and all kinds of strange things, and the gourd is placed in the pile of strange things. , there are also some exercise books on the stall.
We quickly reached a distance of more than ten meters. The owner of the stall was a middle-aged man. When he saw Chunxiang, his eyes lit up:
"Everyone, Haru, is here. Come and take a look. I have a lot of good stuff here."
"Master Chun?" Gu Shuo turned his head and looked at Chunxiang strangely. Chunxiang's face turned red, but a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
The middle-aged man gave Gu Shuo a thumbs up: "Master Chun is extremely famous in our area. He is a good picker of leaks."
A strange smile appeared on Gu Shuo's face. It seemed that Chunxiang was really a frequent visitor here. Many people here remembered her and this wronged person.
Haru everyone, haha... be stupid everyone!
