There were fifty-five people in total, and one person, ranked forty-ninth, was proudly alone.
how?
Do you still want to stand on your own feet?
Are you kidding me?
But this was just a thought, no one spoke to ridicule Gu Shuo. At most, a trace of sarcasm flashed across Gu Shuo's eyes. Then his expression became calm, as if he had not seen Gu Shuo, and he started talking and laughing with the people around him.
Why?
Because even if these people are not peerless geniuses, they are still geniuses.
Others may talk nonsense, but Tianjiao will not. Up to a certain level, their city government told them to be cautious about what they said.
Gu Shuo stood under the big tree and glanced at the monks on Jindan's side. He remembered their appearance and names one by one, and then his heart moved.
Why didn't you see Yue Tonghui?
yes!
It seems that Yue Tonghui has not been seen in the Tianxuan Competition. In this case, he should not have broken through to the golden elixir. With his qualifications and talents, this should not be the case!
A figure appeared in the sky. Gu Shuo looked up and a smile appeared on his lips. The person who came turned out to be Shen Zhongdao. Then he saw Shen Zhongdao floating in the air. With a wave of his hand, a flying boat appeared in the air and instantly enlarged. Shen Zhongdao stepped onto the flying boat and shouted downwards:
"Get on the boat."
One by one, the monks stepped into the void and landed on the flying boat. Gu Shuo already had experience and knew that it would take more than a month to return to Tiancheng from here. So, as soon as he got on the flying boat, he just nodded to Shen Zhongdao, walked to a corner, set up an isolation array, took out the Liuhe Disk, drank the liquid of spiritual consciousness, and started practicing.
These people were not surprised by this, because when they came, Gu Shuo was like this, and they still laughed at Gu Shuo for being a bumpkin in their hearts. No matter what they think, Gu Shuo practices step by step every day. During this period, I also went to chat with Shen Zhongdao and got a general understanding of Tianmeng.
The journey was uneventful, and more than a month later, the flying boat landed in Tiancheng. Shen Zhongdao informed everyone that Tianmeng would give everyone a three-month holiday to deal with any personal matters. After three months, they would be taken to formally enter Tianmeng.
When Gu Shuo returned to Huangyuan, he saw that none of the northern monks had left. Sun Yi, Bei Wushuang and others were all there, and they also met an unexpected person, senior sister Zhang Yinggu.
Zhang Yinggu was trapped in a ruins before and arrived at Huangyuan just half a month ago. Very happy to see Gu Shuo. After Sun Yi ordered a meal and everyone had a party, Bei Wushuang, Tan Shijun, Zhang Yinggu and Gu Shuo sat around drinking tea in Gu Shuang's room.
Listening to Zhang Yinggu's narration, Zhang Yinggu's experience along the way can be considered tortuous, but she has gained a lot from this recent ruins. Not only did his cultivation reach the level of virtual elixir perfection, but he also gained a lot of inheritance. Zhang Yinggu planned to join the sect to practice cultivation for a period of time, and then continue to travel. After seeing the world, she knew that it would be difficult to reach the top of the road if she stayed in the Northland.
As she spoke, Zhang Yinggu also envied Gu Shuo for joining the Tianmeng. But Zhang Yinggu missed this opportunity. The next Tianxuan Competition will be a hundred years later, and Zhang Yinggu is confident that by that time she will have broken through to the Nascent Soul. However, after chatting for a long time and everyone dispersed, Bei Wushuang came back. After sitting down he asked:
"Gu Shuo, do you think Yinggu can break through the Nascent Soul within a hundred years?"
Gu Shuo pondered for a long time, and finally said: "I don't know, it's difficult under normal circumstances. Senior Sister Zhang is not the golden elixir yet. After breaking through the golden elixir, reaching the perfection of the golden elixir, and then before the Nascent Soul level, usually the situation Well, even a hundred years is not enough. And it shouldn’t be that easy for Yuanying to break through. I am not Yuanying now, and I have no experience in breaking through Yuanying.”
"Yes!" Bei Wushuang sighed: "Throwing aside the Nascent Soul barrier, if you want to go from breaking through the golden elixir to the Nascent Soul barrier, a hundred years is not enough time, unless there is a chance encounter."
"So Senior Sister Zhang said that after she returned to the sect, she would practice cultivation for a while and then go out for travel. It was just an idea for adventure. In fact, the sect leader does not need to worry. If Senior Sister Zhang can break through the Nascent Soul for a hundred years, it will be great, but if she cannot break through, I also happen to be participating in the next Tianxuan Competition."
Bei Wushuang's eyes lit up: "That's right. If we don't talk about her anymore, what are your plans?"
Gu Shuo said: "I don't have any personal matters to deal with in the North, so I won't go back. I will ask the sect to take care of my parents and brothers."
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, there won't be any problems."
"When will the sect master return?"
"You have returned safely, so I naturally want to go back as soon as possible. It has been a long time since I came out. Sect Leader Sun and I have agreed to return in three days."
"good!"
Three days later.
Gu Shuo sent Beidi and his party to the city gate. Zhang Yinggu stood on the flying boat and shouted to Gu Shuo: "Junior Brother Gu, I will definitely break through the Nascent Soul within a hundred years, don't let me surpass you."
Gu Shuo waved his hand to Zhang Yinggu with a smile and watched the flying boat break through the clouds.
He turned around and walked into the city gate, returned to Huangyuan all the way, and then practiced in seclusion.
Two days later.
Gu Shuo's spiritual consciousness has reached its peak, and the next step is to turn spiritual consciousness into liquid. This makes Gu Shuo couldn't help but sigh, no wonder Yuanying is the watershed in the road. It is too difficult to break through Yuanying. During the process, every time Every step was difficult.
Gu Shuo first used ordinary methods to practice. After practicing for a day, he did not produce a drop of spiritual liquid. He shook his head, knowing that if he practiced in this way, he would not be able to complete the transformation until his life span was exhausted. Opening the Liuhe Disk, he practiced again for a quarter of an hour, and finally produced a drop of spiritual liquid.
I let out a breath, this qualification is really rubbish. According to this speed, I should be able to complete the liquid transformation before my life span is exhausted. By that time, he should be dead.
After drinking a small sip of the liquid of spiritual consciousness, combined with the Liuhe Pan, the liquid transformed faster. But this is not the result of the liquid of spiritual consciousness. Even so, if we do some rough calculation, it will take three hundred years.
It just depends on the shock technique.
Gu Shuo pinned his hopes on the Shock Jue.
Tai Chi Technique, Shock Technique, Liuhe Pan, Liquid of Spiritual Consciousness.
A quarter of an hour later, Gu Shuo stopped, a trace of desolation flashed in his eyes.
It is much more difficult to dissolve liquid than to dissolve mist. The same method is applied to liquid, but the effect is much lower than that of mist. It will probably take a hundred years to add all these methods.
A hundred years!
It’s not impossible!
Gushuo is almost twenty-nine years old now, and Shouyuan will be fully recovered when he is about forty-two years old. At that time, Gu Shuo had a lifespan of 780 years. A hundred and thirty-year-old man with perfect liquid transformation, even if he is not considered a genius, can still hang on the tail of an elite monk.
What else is not satisfying?
My qualifications are not good to begin with, as long as I keep taking every step in a down-to-earth manner, it will be fine.
The next day.
Gu Shuo left Huang Yuan. He was going to the Liang family in the Rising Sun Mountains to complete a personal matter. Back in Liangyi Palace, he promised Liang Qixing, a layman of Liangyi, that he would send his jade coffin, Liangyi sword, and a copy of the inheritance to the Liang family. And now he is planning to give the inherited original to the Liang family. Keep what you copy to yourself.
After making some inquiries, I bought a ticket and took a flying boat to Rising Sun City.
This kind of flying boat specialized in passenger transportation has rooms. Gu Shuo was not short of money, but he did not squander it either. Checked into a medium cabin. Then he set up defensive formations and isolation formations and practiced every day.
Rising Sun City was neither far nor close. On the eleventh day, Gu Shuo arrived at Rising Sun City.
Gu Shuo was going to inquire first.
Regarding the Liang family, Gu Shuo's eyes darkened. He didn't know what level of family this was, and where exactly it was located in the Rising Sun Mountains?
What is the character of the Liang family?
It's not that Gu Shuo uses malice to speculate on others, but that there are too many greedy people in this world.
It can be said that Gu Shuo brought all the treasures of Liang Qixing, and even prepared the inherited originals for the Liang family. But does the Liang family think this is all they have?
Greedy people can do anything. It is not impossible to repay kindness with hatred and arrest Gu Shuo for torture and interrogation.
Gu Shuo checked into an inn, took a bath, and asked the waiter to deliver the food to the room. When the waiter placed the food on the table, Gu Shuo took out five low-grade spiritual stones and placed them on the table:
"Brother, I want to ask you something."
The clerk put away the spirit stone and said with a smile on his face: "Sir, you ask. In our line of work, there is nothing in Rising Sun City that we don't know about."
"I want to inquire about the Liang family in the Rising Sun Mountains."
"The Liang family is a small family. The head of the family is called Liang Youwei. He is in the early stage of Yuanying. The Liang family also has several shops in Rising Sun City. Anyone you see starting with Liang Ji belongs to the Liang family. .”
Gu Shuo couldn't help but sigh in his heart. A family with Yuanying was just a small family in the eyes of the clerk. The water in this middle part is too deep.
"The Liang family has always been a small family?" Gu Shuo asked.
The guy thought for a while: "I heard my grandfather once said that the Liang family was a long time ago, probably a few thousand years ago. The Liang family was still very good at that time. It is said that the head of the Liang family at that time was a master of transformation. Monk. Later, the Liang family seemed to have a disciple who was traveling abroad. What was his name... I can't remember. Anyway, that Liang family disciple provoked people who shouldn't be provoked, but the Liang family disciple escaped.
But after his heels were dug out, powerful monks came over and slaughtered all the high-ranking monks of the Liang family. At this point, the Liang family declined. "
Gu Shuo asked some more questions, but the guy couldn't explain it clearly. It was such a long time ago, so he only heard a little bit from his grandfather.
Gu Shuo wandered around Rising Sun City for seven days, learned different news from different people, and then summarized it, basically having a general understanding of the Liang family.
He is now certain that the person who caused trouble outside was Liang Qixing. It is said that he killed a direct disciple of a big family who had the most potential and was known to be capable of overcoming calamities. This caused the family to be furious.
When it comes to heels, it depends on whether you take it seriously or not. When a big family takes it seriously, they quickly dig out Liang Qixing's heels, and then the Liang family suffers.
Gu Shuo was a little relieved. Although this matter had happened thousands of years ago, the Liang family should still be keeping a low profile. This is exactly what Gu Shuo learned. Moreover, the one with the highest cultivation level in the Liang family was only in the early stage of Nascent Soul, and Gu Shuo felt that he could handle it.
There will be no danger on this trip.
In this way, on the eighth day, Gu Shuo went to the Rising Sun Mountains.
He already knew the Liang family relatively well and soon came to the Liang family's clan. The disciples guarding the door were very polite, and it could be seen from their demeanor that the Liang family was indeed very low-key. Gu Shuo handed over his invitation and said that he wanted to see the head of the Liang family, Liang Youwei.
Liang Youwei quickly welcomed him out in person. His identity as a Tianmeng disciple was worthy of Liang Youwei's attention. Although the other party is just a golden elixir, and he is a Nascent Soul. But he knew that his Yuanying might remain Yuanying for the rest of his life, but Gu Shuo's golden elixir was temporary. Entering the Tianmeng and achieving Nascent Soul is the most basic level.
So he was very polite. The two of them were walking side by side on the road leading to the living room, and Gu Shuo whispered:
"Master Liang, this junior has a secret matter this time. Can we talk about it in a private place?"
Liang Youwei nodded solemnly. He didn't know what news Gu Shuo had brought, but since Gu Shuo paid so much attention to it, it must be something big. But he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for the Liang family.
As for being wary of Gu Shuo, he didn't have it in his mind.
Gu Shuo may be very powerful in the future, but for now he is just a golden elixir. Do we need to be wary of him as a Nascent Soul?
Being a disciple of the Ancient Shuotian Alliance can really intimidate people, especially a small family like the Liang family. Liang Youwei and Gu Shuo entered the underground passage through the secret entrance, and finally sat down in a luxurious dense room. After activating the isolation formation, Liang Youwei made tea with his own hands. He held his sleeve with his left hand and picked up the teapot with his right hand. After pouring tea for two people, he put down the teapot and picked up the tea cup:
"please!"
"please!"
Gu Shuo also picked up the tea cup, sniffed it slightly, and then drank it all.
“Good tea!”
"Little friend Gu likes it, take some back." Liang Youwei took out a jade bottle from his storage bag with a smile, placed it on the table, and pushed it towards Gu Shuo.
After Gu Shuo thanked him, he put it away, and then said in a solemn voice: "Master Liang, do you still remember Liang Qixing?"
"Liang Qixing..." Liang Youwei frowned and thought for a moment, then his eyes suddenly showed fear and he jumped up from his chair: "You... you are from the Zhou family?
wrong!
Your surname is Gu, not Zhou. "
Gu Shuo remained silent, waiting for Liang Youwei to calm down. It took half an hour for Liang Youwei to calm down, sit opposite Gu Shuo again, and sighed:
"Little friend Gu, I'm telling you a joke. You won't understand that the name Liang Qixing has become a nightmare for our family. Our family suffered a catastrophe because of him. A good family was killed to the last After giving birth to three or two kittens, it took thousands of years for the family to slowly recover. Your sudden mention really scared me.
When each generation of the family head of our family passes the throne to the next generation, they will explain the reasons for the decline of the family. Warn the next head of the family that Liang Qixing has been removed from the family tree. He is no longer a member of our Liang family. "
