Gu Shuo sighed slightly.
"Junior Brother Gu, why are you sighing?" A voice rang in his ears.
Gu Shuo turned around and saw a middle-aged monk. He knew that this was the Tianmeng monk who boarded the flying boat with him. His cautious habit means that when he goes to a place, he must first observe the surroundings. I just didn’t know who this person was, so I held my hand and said:
"How do you call this senior brother?"
The monk smiled kindly and said: "My name is Zhang Bi. Did Junior Brother Gu come to Life Island because of the loss of life span?"
"Um!"
There is nothing to hide. With his old appearance, I am afraid that the entire Tianmeng knows that he has lost his lifespan.
Zhang Bi sighed, with a look of sympathy in his eyes: "Even if we come to Life Island, what's the use?"
"Us?" Gu Shuo looked Zhang Bi up and down and said, "Did Senior Brother Zhang also lose his lifespan? But it doesn't look like it!"
Zhang Bi sighed and said: "I haven't lost my life span, but I injured my foundation due to an accident. It will be difficult to make any progress in my cultivation in the future. Moreover, the injury has not healed, and it is also consuming my life bit by bit. Lifespan. Although the loss of lifespan is very small every year now, when my injury worsens, the lifespan lost every year will be much more. "
Gu Shuo was silent.
He is not a novice now and has read a lot of books. Naturally, we know that if the foundation is damaged, there is almost no possibility of repair. Moreover, damaging the foundation will indeed continuously deplete the monk's lifespan. If Gu Shuo's use of Zhou Tian Baolu could damage hundreds of years of life in one stroke, Zhang Bi's situation was like cutting flesh with a blunt knife.
Gu Shuo's heart moved.
Zhang Bi couldn't have Zongmu, so why did he come to Life Island?
He also cannot capture life particles.
Gu Shuo once experimented. If you don't use your Zongmu to capture it, even if the life particles fall on you, they won't enter your body. It's useless to absorb them with your Zongmu. Only your Zongmu can catch them.
Could it be...
Gu Shuo's heart skipped a beat. Since he wanted to come to Life Island, he had a detailed understanding of Life Island. He knew that there were three things on Life Island that could restore a monk's damaged longevity.
The first type is the fountain of life.
Everyone knows where the fountain of life is, but no one dares to go there. Therefore, this one is simply not available.
The second one is a kind of herb called life grass. This kind of herb is extremely rare even in Life Island. It is difficult for even the monks of the Aoki Tribe to find one. But this herb has two effects. The first effect is to restore the monk's lost life span. Of course, the effect is much weaker than the Fountain of Life. But it is also faster than Gu Shuo in capturing life particles. Another effect is that it has the effect of repairing the damaged foundation of monks.
The third type is the life particles that only Gu Shuo can capture.
"Senior Brother Zhang, are you here looking for the Life Grass?"
"Well, aren't you?"
"Oh...well, yes!"
Gu Shuo nodded, could he still say that he was not?
Just by capturing life particles, can I restore my lifespan?
"Junior Brother Gu, why don't we form a team? I have been to Life Island more than once. I have a deep understanding of Life Island. I feel that there is a place where there is a high possibility of Life Grass appearing."
"Do you have any news about Life Grass?"
Gu Shuo was shocked, even though he could use life particles to restore his longevity. But if he could get the Life Grass, he wouldn't let it go. Because the golden elixirs that helped him activate Zhou Tian Baolu and kill Qing Cangqiong didn't have much longevity left. For example, Bei Wushuang. If you can get the Grass of Life, you can save one person.
There was hesitation on Zhang Bi's face: "I'm not sure. But since I injured the foundation, I have been studying the Life Island and everything about the Life Grass. I am only 50% sure."
"50% sure!"
For monks, anything that is 50% certain is already worth doing. But Gu Shuo is a man for whom caution has become a habit.
He admitted that it was not unexpected for Zhang Bi to form a team with him. After all, both of them have lost their lives, share the same illness, and have a common language. There may be a natural affinity for each other.
However, it is precisely because both of them have lost their longevity, which means that they both need the Life Grass.
Is Zhang Bi so willing to share the life grass with herself?
He can search for it himself, or he can use Tianmeng points to hire Tianmeng disciples. Those disciples don’t need the Life Grass. But Zhang Bi didn't.
This made the cautious Gu Shuo suspicious. There was hesitation on Gu Shuo's face: "There must be great danger in going there, right?"
Zhang Bi nodded calmly and said: "It should be. But for Shouyuan, what else do we care about?"
"50% sure, but there are unknown dangers." Gu Shuo shook his head and said: "Senior Brother Zhang, I won't go."
A look of surprise appeared on Zhang Bi's face: "Aren't you here just to find the Grass of Life? Are you still looking for the Fountain of Life?"
"How could I miss the Fountain of Life?" Gu Shuo shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "I have the intention of encountering the Life Grass, but I know that the hope is extremely slim, so I won't force it. And I still have two hundred years to live. , I firmly believe that I can break through the Yuanying before my life span is exhausted.
The main purpose of my coming to Life Island this time is to get familiar with Life Island first and take a chance. The second step is to pick some herbs and earn some Tianmeng points. "
"Are you still short of Tianmeng?"
"No one can avoid Tianmeng points."
Zhang Bi pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Forget it, I will go find the Life Grass myself. Junior Brother Gu, see you later."
"I wish Senior Brother Zhang good luck!"
Gu Shuo watched Zhang Bi leave without looking back, and couldn't help but secretly thought: "Did I think wrong? Did Senior Brother Zhang sincerely invite me? This is because he sees me as pitiful, because he really sympathizes with me and wants me to share his life." Grass?
In this way, Senior Brother Zhang is really a kind person! "
Gu Shuo stood there and thought for a moment, shook his head, and decided to forget it. Everyone has their own opportunities. Even if he and Zhang Bi team up, they may not be able to find the Life Grass. Didn't it mean that we were only 50% sure?
Gu Shuo was a straightforward and decisive person and quickly put the matter behind him. He also had no idea of forming a team with others, and left the crowd alone. He did not rush into it, but he would not only operate on the fringes. He came here to capture life particles, but he also wanted to understand Life Island, or at least touch the topography of Life Island.
Gu Xie
It would be even better if you could pick some precious herbs.
Gu Shuo began to move forward cautiously while capturing life particles. The deeper you go, the richer the life particles become. At the beginning, I caught them one by one, then I caught a few grains, and I caught them in piles, like a stream.
One day, two days, three days...
Ten days passed in a flash, and Gu Shuo was already a hundred miles away from the coast of Life Island. The concentration of life particles here was many times that of the rocks on the coast. The capture in these ten days was equivalent to half a year of capture in Tianmeng.
During these ten days, Gu Shuo also picked some herbs, but there were no rare herbs. However, even if they are not rare enough, these herbs are of very high grade, even the worst ones are top grade. He picked three of the best herbs.
In the past ten days, he has not met a single Aoki monk on Life Island. It seems that there are not many Aoki monks. For such a big island, even if I go a hundred miles deep, I should still only be on the periphery. But I hunted some monsters. Gu Shuo ate it. It was very delicious and helpful for cultivation, but it could not restore a trace of longevity.
However, Gu Shuo did not let these monsters go. Thinking about it, they should be worthy of Tianmeng points.
More than twenty days have passed like this, Gu Shuo has penetrated more than five hundred miles, and still hasn't encountered a single Aoki Clan monk. In more than thirty days, Gu Shuo regained nearly two years of life, which made Gu Shuo happy. It’s true that the further you go, the faster your life span will be restored.
This day.
Gu Shuo had already penetrated about 800 miles, and he was hesitant whether to continue going deeper. In the end, he decided that he would no longer take risks and just capture the particles of life here. Eight hundred miles deep, the life particles here are already very rich. There is no need to move at all, as long as you capture it in place for a day and then rest for a night, the surroundings will be filled with rich life particles the next day.
Therefore, Gu Shuo planned to find a secret place here and open a cave. While capturing life particles, while retreating, first cultivate yourself to the perfection of pregnancy and birth.
Capturing life particles to restore life span is not as fast as breaking through the Nascent Soul yourself. If you can break through the Nascent Soul, your life span will be increased by five hundred years.
Gu Shuo spent half a day looking for a hidden valley. Standing in the middle of the valley, he felt that it was hidden enough and there was no need to open a cave. The life particles in this valley were enough for him to capture. He sat cross-legged on the Liuhe plate placed in the center of the valley, opened his eyes to capture the particles of life, and at the same time probed his spiritual sense into the storage ring to read the universe-level weapon refining technique. Now he has already discovered that the weapon refining technique is also a part of the way of heaven. If you understand the weapon refining technique, you can also understand the way of heaven, but it is worse than the fusion technique.
Moreover, when he was on the flying boat, he had already read almost all of the weapon refining techniques, except for the last few books. So he decided to finish reading the weapon refining technique first.
A thousand meters away from the valley, Zhang Bi stood under a big tree, looking at the entrance of the valley with a gloomy expression.
One day, two days, three days...
He found that Gu Shuo still hadn't come out of the valley, and couldn't help but frown slightly. He changed direction, climbed up the cliff of the valley, and looked into the valley from above. Then he saw Gu Shuo sitting cross-legged in the valley.
What is he doing?
Zhang Bi was a little confused, so he decided to monitor him for a while.
Three more days passed like this, and Zhang Bi became even more confused. He found that Gu Shuo was completely motionless, as if he was in retreat.
Run here to retreat?
are you crazy?
However, Gu Shuo was motionless here, which made Zhang Bi worried. There was hesitation in his eyes. To be honest, he didn't want to die even if he could.
But when things got to this point, he had no future, and he only had more than three hundred years left in his life. Despite the injury, his longevity is still decreasing every day.
Thinking of his son again, he finally made up his mind and left quietly.
Gu Shuo didn't know all this. He is quietly capturing life particles and reading the weapon refining technique with all his heart.
Four more days passed in a flash, and Gu Shuo finished reading the last book on weapon refining.
His current Consciousness Sea Lotus has thirty-one lotus leaves covered with Dao patterns, and his cultivation has entered the ninth level of pregnancy and infants.
He began to sort out and comprehend the one hundred and nine books of weapon refining techniques. After practicing for a long time, he heard the rapid sound of clothes flying through the air and rushing towards the valley, and there was also the sound of pursuit in his ears.
Gu Shuo quickly stopped practicing and closed the Liuhe Pan. He took out the long sword and held it in his hand. He saw a person rushing into the valley. When the person saw Gu Shuo standing up, his expression became anxious:
"Junior Brother Gu, run quickly!"
"Run somewhere!"
At this time, Gu Shuo also saw clearly that the person coming was Zhang Bi. Gu Shuo's face looked very ugly at this time. As Zhang Bi appeared, there were more than a dozen monks following him. Those dozen monks are all green, which is the characteristic of the Qingmu tribe. Gu Shuo turned around and took the Wind and Cloud Step, soaring up and flying towards the cliff. Zhang Bi also followed closely behind. Behind them were a dozen monks from the Aoki clan chasing after them.
Gu Shuo flew up the cliff and flew towards the sea like the wind. Just as he was about to rush to the beach, his heart beat violently, and the hairs all over his body stood on end. He felt a pressure that he could not resist, catching up with him like a strong wind.
Master!
Gu Shuo didn't even look back and hit the sea of clouds. Although after crashing into the sea of clouds, he is likely to get lost in the sea of clouds, and may eventually die. But if you don't crash into the sea of clouds, you may die immediately.
"boom!"
Less than one meter away from the sea of clouds, he felt an overwhelming pressure coming down on him. He could no longer keep flying in the air and fell to the ground like a stone, just a stone's throw away from the sea of clouds.
He managed to look back and saw Zhang Bi also falling behind him. A monk from the Aoki tribe stood in the air, looking down at the two of them coldly. Gu Shuo looked around and saw that there were no human monks around anymore. He seemed to have run into a deserted place in a panic.
"Whizzing……"
The figures of Qingmu Clan monks appeared one after another. One of them pointed at Zhang Bi on the ground and said, "That's him, kill Ah Chen."
Then he saw the great monk in mid-air, stretched out his finger and flicked it at Zhang Bi.
"boom……"
Zhang Bi's body exploded, and his remaining limbs and pieces of flesh were scattered everywhere. He was so dead that he could no longer die.
Gu Shuo's heart became cold, and he couldn't help but curse Zhang Bi secretly. He was really crazy for daring to kill the Sheng Clan on Life Island.
"Where is this person?" The great monk looked at Gu Shuo.
"He didn't kill any of our people."
The great monk of the Aoki tribe said: "Take him back and make him a slave."
"yes!"
A monk flicked his fingers, and an ancient vine popped out, trapping Gu Shuo tightly. Gu Shuo didn't resist. Although he didn't know what the great monk was, he knew that he was not qualified to resist the next move, let alone resist. Even if you use all your cards, the opponent is too powerful.
