Big chapter!

Everyone looked at each other in shock, and finally Zhuge Guang said in one word: "We all treat him as an immortal, and we should treat each other as equals."
After saying that, he smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Maybe it won't take long for others to surpass us in cultivation."
"That's not possible!" Wei Wanjun said proudly: "Those of us are in the early and middle stages of Heavenly Immortality, let alone breaking through to Jade Immortality. That's not guaranteed. But if we want to break through to Heavenly Immortal Consummation, we are still sure, right? ?”
Everyone nodded. The monks who were able to break through to the level of immortals were quite qualified and talented. If you want to break through to the Jade Immortal, you don't have much confidence, but if you want to break through to the Heavenly Immortal, you will have confidence.
"Not talking about you, I am confident that I can break through to the perfection of the immortal within a thousand years. But can Gu Shuo break through to the perfection of the immortal within a thousand years?
I admit that he is a peerless genius, but in a thousand years, the most he can do is break through to the Earth Immortal stage, right? "
"What do you mean?" Zhuge Guang looked at him.
Wei Wanjun sighed: "Let's discuss friendship as equals."
"Hehehe..." Everyone laughed.
"Tsk!" Wei Wanjun rubbed Yahuazi: "Even if he can't break through to the Earth Immortal within a thousand years, no...it's just a Human Immortal Stage, but by that time, I'm afraid he will be able to refine high-grade Immortal Weapons. If he improves a little more, The level of refining the best elixir, his status in the sect is no less than that of the Immortal Stage."
"That's right!" Everyone nodded.
There was also a desire to make friends in their hearts.
At this time, Gu Shuo was being led by Cheng Xiong into the inner door. Gu Shuo watched Cheng Xiong take out a round jade sign before entering the outer door, and asked:
"Senior Brother Cheng, what is this?"
Cheng Xiong's attitude had changed drastically at this time, and he said gently and kindly: "Junior brother Gu, senior brother, I am only an outer disciple, and I am not qualified to enter the inner sect. But every inner sect disciple can have an outer sect disciple. The qualification to enter the inner gate, this jade medal is the certificate to enter the inner gate."
"oh!"
"Junior Brother Gu, aren't you an alchemist? Why are you studying weapon refining again?"
"I wanted to refine an immortal weapon for myself, so I studied it a little bit."
Cheng Xiong's face twitched a few times.
I wanted to refine weapons for myself, so I did some research...
"Senior Brother Cheng, does Uncle Zhuge have anything to do with me?"
If this happened in the past, Cheng Xiong would definitely not pay attention to Gu Shuo, and even scolded Gu Shuo, "Just do whatever your uncle tells you to do, why are you asking?"
But now he has a smile on his face: "Uncle Master and the others saw that you have achieved a small level of success in practicing Yuhua Sword, so they wanted to communicate with you."
Having said this, a look of expectancy and kindness appeared on his face: "Well... Junior Brother Gu, Senior Brother, I have also practiced Yuhua Sword, but I have gained nothing..."
"This..." Gu Shuo thought for a while and said, "It's really hard to explain. Senior brother also knows that the Great Dao is unspeakable. This ineffability does not mean that we don't say it, but that we can't explain it clearly."
"That's right." Cheng Xiong nodded, admitting that Gu Shuo was right.
It’s not that Gu Shuo can’t say it, but it’s hard to say whether others can gain insights from what Gu Shuo said.
The two people came to Zhuge Guang's cave, and Gu Shuo's expression flashed with a strange color, because he saw more than a dozen monks standing in front of the cave, and each monk exuded a powerful aura.
There is no doubt that they are all immortals.
However, is it a bit too much to have more than a dozen immortals standing at the door to greet him?
Gu Shuo was a cautious person, and he immediately calmed down and was about to step forward to salute, but when he saw more than a dozen immortals coming forward, Zhuge Guang, the leader, was all smiles:
“Junior Brother Gu, you’re welcome and safe!”
Gu Shuo saluted quickly: "Disciple Gu Shuo, I have met Master Zhuge. Masters..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhuge Guang was already in front of him, stretched out his hand to hold Gu Shuo's arm, and said with a smile on his face:
"What's your name, uncle? We once fought side by side on the same battlefield and in the same battle formation. It was a life-and-death friendship. We are friends as equals, unless you look down on me."
"You're right! Senior brother, I am Wei Wanjun. In ancient times, one person faced three thousand Monuments of Ten Thousand Clan, and I went to the Multi-Armed Clan alone. Senior Brother, I admire you very much."
"Junior brother Gu, senior brother, my name is Cui Ziyu..."
"Junior Brother Gu..."
"…………"
Gu Shuo was a little confused. Although he didn't understand why these people had such an attitude, he still had a respectful look on his face. However, despite the forced demands of more than a dozen immortals, he still had the sense to be worthy of their senior brothers. More than a dozen people looked overjoyed, and invited Gu Shuo to enter the cave, sit down, and serve tea.
Zhuge Guang was also a bachelor at this time: "Junior Brother Gu, I have no other intention in inviting you here this time. I just want to ask you how to practice the Yuhua Sword. We don't ask for nothing, do you have any questions about practice? , we all try our best to answer them.”
Gu Shuo nodded, this was a matter of equality. Although I don't know why these dozen people are so polite, and they are not as proud as the inner disciples towards the handymen, but this is a good thing.
"Brothers, the reason why I was able to comprehend the Yuhua Sword to the level of Xiaocheng is because before I practiced the Yuhua Sword, I had some understanding of the way of destruction. I practiced Tai Chi Yin and Yang, and Tai Chi Yin and Yang encompasses everything, including There is a way of destruction. But it is difficult to find a place to understand and learn from the way of destruction, and I have never understood it before. Later, when I was going through the tribulation, I discovered that the tribulation actually contained destruction, so I know that there is a lot of destruction. I realized it when I went through many tribulations."
Everyone looked at each other.
I realized it when I was going through the tribulation...
When they were going through the tribulation, they were all busy not to be killed by the tribulation. What kind of talismans, immortal weapons, elixirs, etc., all I want to do is to survive the heavenly tribulation, how can I have the time to explore what is hidden in the heavenly tribulation?
But look at Gu Shuo?
Everyone couldn't help but feel bitter in their hearts. Is this the difference between these people and the peerless genius?
"Brothers, you might as well give it a try when you go through the heavenly tribulation again in the future."
These words made these immortal monks feel even more bitter.
The next time I cross the tribulation, I have to break through the Jade Immortal.
Whether he can break through Jade Immortal is unknown.
"Later, I accidentally went to the Canyon of Life and Death, and found that you can also understand the way of destruction there. I think all the senior brothers have also been to the Canyon of Life and Death, right?"
"I've been there!" Cui Ziyu said, "But I didn't understand anything."
Gu Shuo nodded: "What I just talked about is the place that can help you understand the way of destruction. Now I will talk about my understanding of the way of destruction."
Everyone couldn't help but perked up and listened.
Gu Shuo didn't hide his secrets either. He was not a secretive person in the first place. Because he firmly believes that strength is not a matter of everyone practicing one kind of skill or magical power, and then everyone's strength will be the same. Each person's understanding determines the difference in each person's strength.
What's more, Gu Shuo's foundation is much stronger than theirs.
Ten levels of opening elixirs, ten turns of foundation building, ten expansions of the sea of consciousness, thirty-six-leaf lotus, and seventy-two more Tao rhymes. These are all factors that make him strong.
What's more, he also hopes that the human race will be stronger.
Gu Shuo spoke first, and then a dozen or so immortals asked questions. Gu Shuo then answered, and then they discussed dialectics with each other. When they arrived, it was almost dusk, and by the time the dozen or so monks were all thoughtful and no longer talking. , it was already the morning of the next day. While Zhuge Guang was thinking about it, he was startled. He looked at Gu Shuo and said apologetically:
"Junior Brother Gu, we are fascinated by our thoughts. If you have any questions, just ask them and we will do our best to answer them."
"Yes!" The other monks also responded and agreed.
Gu Shuo shook his head and said: "I think all the senior brothers have learned something. It's best not to interrupt their understanding at this time. Let's forget it this time. Next time, the junior brothers have accumulated some doubts and come to see you again." , at that time, brothers, please don’t hide your secrets.”
The perception of Gu Shuo among the immortal monks has been improved to another level.
This guy is worth paying.
Each one of them looked more sincere: "Junior Brother Gu, this..."
Gu Shuo stood up and waved his hands: "Brothers, please don't be polite. We are all monks and know the importance of continuous understanding. There is no need to send me off, I will leave now."
Zhuge Guang and more than a dozen people still insisted on sending Gu Shuo outside the cave, and then looked at each other with deep feelings in their eyes. Zhuge Guang said:
"Okay, let's not disappoint Junior Brother Gu. Let's go back to seclusion to understand. Maybe this time we can understand the way of destruction."
"Farewell!"
"Farewell!"
Everyone left one after another.
On the mountain road, Cheng Xiong accompanied Gu Shuo and walked outside. Suddenly, Gu Shuo's identity bracelet vibrated. Gu Shuo's spiritual consciousness penetrated his eyes. He was surprised and said to Cheng Xiong:
"Senior Brother Cheng, I'm going to visit a senior. Let's part ways here."
"No." Cheng Xiong shook his head and said: "You can't walk through the inner gate without a jade token. And you can't get out of the inner gate. Besides, if you are caught by the inner gate law enforcement hall and find out that you don't have a jade token, You will be punished. Junior Brother Gu, wherever you want to go, I will take you there."
Gu Shuo had no choice but to cup his hands and said, "Then I'll bother Senior Brother Cheng. I'll go to Senior Uncle Qiu in Qiu Paiyun."
Cheng Xiong's expression changed.
Qiu Paiyun, that is the Jade Immortal.
Are Gu Shuo and Qiu Paiyun still related?
"I, I... will take you there."
Under the leadership of Cheng Xiong, the two people arrived at Qiu Paiyun's cave and saw a young monk standing outside the cave. Seeing Gu Shuo, a smile appeared on his face:
"Junior Brother Gu!"
"Gu Shuo has met senior brother." Gu Shuo saluted hurriedly.
The monk smiled and said: "I am my master's disciple, Lin Xiu, come with me."
"Yes!" Gu Shuo said to Cheng Xiong again: "Senior Brother Cheng, please wait here for a moment."
"You're busy!" Cheng Xiong showed a humble smile. Watching the two people's backs disappear through the cave door, he hurriedly sent a message to Zhuge Guang through his identity jade bracelet.
Zhuge Guang was comprehending the way of destruction. He felt the vibration of his bracelet, his spiritual consciousness penetrated it, and he raised his eyebrows. Then a smile appeared on his face:
"I really didn't expect that, but fortunately I have sincerely made friends with Gu Shuo..."
Inside Qiu Paiyun's cave.
Gu Shuo bowed his hands and saluted: "Disciple Gu Shuo has met Master Qiu."
Qiu Paiyun nodded: "What do Zhuge Guang and the others want from you?"
Seeing Gu Shuo startled, he waved his hand and said, "It was Lin Xiu who happened to see you entering Zhuge Guang's cave. If you can tell me, tell me."
Gu Shuo's heart moved, and then he told the story exactly. Qiu Paiyun's face showed a bright smile:
"Don't you understand why they are so polite to you? Do you want to treat them as equals?"
"Yes!" At this time, Gu Shuo was already sure that Qiu Paiyun was caring about him. Maybe it's because Jia is crossing the city, maybe it's because of something else. But Gu Shuo would not feel wrong about this concern.
"Haha..." Qiu Paiyun smiled: "You just said that you can refine high-grade magic weapons?"
"Is...could it be?"
"Yes, it's just like you thought. They definitely didn't want to talk to you on equal terms at the beginning. It was probably Cheng Xiong who sent the message.
Within a few years of joining the sect, he was able to refine top-grade elixirs and top-grade magic weapons. And he is still No. 1 on the list, especially since there is an interstate competition this year. They realize your value and that's why they pose like this. And Zhuge Guang and the others must now know about your coming to my place. "
"Then uncle, I..."
"You can deal with it as you want. They don't have any bad intentions, they are just a little greedy. Now for various reasons, they are sincerely friends with you."
"Thank you, uncle, for your guidance."
Qiu Paiyun glanced at Gu Shuo: "You had a chance to contact me, but it never worked. If you encounter any problems that you can't solve by yourself, you can always come to me."
"Thank you, uncle. Master, do you know where senior brother Jia's family lives?"
Qiu Paiyun narrowed his eyes slightly: "Wang Ran asked about the Cheng family at the outer gate. Does it have anything to do with you?"
Gu Shuo was sweating on his forehead. It seemed that Wang Ran had been noticed by Uncle Qiu. If this is because he hurt Wang Ran, then it is a sin. He nodded quickly and said:
"Yes, uncle, I asked Senior Brother Wang to inquire about it. I think I promised Senior Brother Jia that I would take care of his family within my ability."
Qiu Paiyun's expression softened, and there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
There is no one who doesn’t appreciate people who make promises worth a thousand dollars.
He took out a jade slip, entered the message, and then handed it to Gu Shuo and said, "This is the address of Jia Guocheng's family, but if you want to take care of them, you have to do it just right. Otherwise, they won't be able to keep it."
Gu Shuo looked startled, then understood.
Jia Guocheng's family must have very low cultivation level, or perhaps no cultivation level at all. And Qiu Paiyun must have been taking care of Jia Guocheng's family. It should only be taken care of in daily life, and not much. Otherwise, people will become greedy and kill people to seize treasures.
"Disciple understands. Master, I would also like to ask about Master Wang Manxue's family..."
"He has a son named Wang Zhen. He is in the immortal stage, so you don't need to worry."
Gu Shuo understood that what Qiu Paiyun meant was that you couldn't take care of her at this level.
"Disciple understands."
"Go!"
"Yes, disciple, take your leave."
Gu Shuo walked out of the cave, and Cheng Xiong respected Gu Shuo even more. He sent Gu Shuo to the handyman area and then said goodbye cordially.
Gu Shuo stood in the miscellaneous area, thought for a while, and first sent a message to Wang Ran, telling him that he had found Jia Guocheng's family, and then left the sect and headed for Huahe Village.
Huahe Village is not far from the sect and is also a village near the sect. Gu Shuo walked against the wind and spent half a day arriving at the entrance of Huahe Village. When he saw an old man, he saluted and asked:
"Old man, I am Jia Guocheng's junior brother. Where does his family live?"
Seeing Gu Shuo wearing Yuhua Sect clothes, the father-in-law smiled and said, "Senior brother, follow me."
When they came to a door, the father-in-law did not knock on the door, but shouted: "Ms. Jia family, your husband's junior brother is here to see you."
There were light footsteps inside the door, and then the door opened from the inside, and a woman stood inside. First, he saluted his father-in-law and said:
"Thank you, third uncle."
The old man waved his hand, gave her a look, and left.
"Sister-in-law, my name is Gu Shuo..."
"Are you Gu Shuo?" Madam Jia's wife suddenly raised her voice, and the husband who was leaving became relieved and left with peace of mind.
"It's my younger brother!" Gu Shuo nodded and said, "Senior Brother Jia and I met in Green Field City."
Madam Jia's expression darkened. When Gu Shuo said these words, he understood that her husband must have entrusted Gu Shuo to take care of her before he died. Moreover, when Jia Guocheng's senior brother Lin Xiu came over, he also said that The storage rings were all sent by a man named Gu Shuo. A look of gratitude appeared on his face:
"Junior Brother Gu, please come in."
When I walked into the courtyard, I saw another child in the courtyard, only about three years old.
"This is my son, Jia Yu. Xiaoyu, come here and see Uncle Gu."
"Uncle Gu." Jia Yu called with his little face raised.
Gu Shuo touched Jia Yu's head and scanned it with his spiritual consciousness. He found that his qualifications were pretty good.
Gu Shuo did not enter the house, but sat down in the small courtyard.
"Sister-in-law, if you have any problems in life, you can come to me at any time."
"Thank you, junior brother. If my sister-in-law encounters trouble, you will definitely be welcome."
Gu Shuo looked at Jia Yu: "What are Xiaoyu's plans?"
Mrs. Jia's wife smiled and said: "Senior Brother Lin said that Xiaoyu's qualifications and talents are not bad. I will teach him how to practice and join the Yuhua Sect when the time comes."
"What's your sister-in-law's cultivation level?"
"My cultivation level is not high and I have never broken through to the human immortal stage. It is estimated that it will not be possible in this life."
Gu Shuo glanced at Xiaoyu again: "Have you started practicing yet?"
"Not yet, we are planning to start in two months, when he will be three years old."
Gu Shuo nodded, and then took out two jade bottles: "This jade bottle contains the best body-tempering liquid, and this jade bottle contains the best warming liquid. I only have these on me now. After a while, I will try again." Refining some and sending it over."
"this……"
"It's worth nothing if you refine it yourself. But it's better not to let others know."
The wife of the Jia family glanced at Jia Yu, put it away, and saluted, "Thank you, junior brother."
Gu Shuo stood up: "I won't stay any longer."
Mrs. Jia's wife stood up and sent Gu Shuo outside the door. Seeing Gu Shuo's back disappear, a trace of relief appeared in her eyes.
My husband finally made some friends and left some shadow for his wife.
Gu Shuo returned to Yuhua Sect and went straight to Thunder Valley, spending 60,000 sect points to enter Thunder Valley again.
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and Gu Shuo's physical toughness has reached the peak of the early stage of the ninth level of the Earth Immortal Stage, and the purity of the Immortal Essence in his body has also reached the peak of the middle stage of the Earth Immortal Stage. He got up and left Thunder Valley, returning to the wooden building.
The news has been received in his identity jade bracelet, and in six days, he will leave for the Four Symbols Sect.
This year's Centennial Interstate Competition was held at Sixiang Sect.
He sat cross-legged on the bed, preparing to practice orthodox training once to see the effect. He has not practiced since he came out of the ruins of the Multi-Armed Clan last time. Now, the eighty-one Dao Yun in Yuanshen are still transformed into four-fifths of each other.
Gu Shuo touched Yushan, entered the long river of the avenue, and began to practice.
This time, the cultivation was carried out in an orthodox way. Eighty-one Dao rhymes were connected into a network, and one Dao rhyme was tempered together.
Three hours later, Gu Shuo finished his practice, with a look of joy on his brows.
Each of the eighty-one Dao Rhymes has transformed into four-fifths of the Immortal Rhyme, and together they refine one Dao Rhyme, and that Dao Rhyme transforms really fast. Gu Shuo estimated that if he practiced for three hours a day, he would be able to break through to the immortal stage in ten days at most.
Then let’s practice separately first.
Gu Shuo made up his mind to fight for a share of interests for the Yuhua Sect.
Compensating the resources of the Centaur and Wolf tribes, coupled with the loss of one-fifth of the territory of the human race, makes the current cultivation resources of the human race somewhat stretched. Even a large sect like Yuhua Sect is no exception.
A few days later, Gu Shuo followed the sect leader An Daoque, elder Shang Yi, and the first inner sect of the sect, Yu Xian Yuan Man and Liang Yuchi, and the first outer sect, Earth Immortal Yuan Wan Zhan Qing, took an immortal boat and flew towards the Four Symbols Sect. .
The interstate competition is very simple. There are only three levels of competition, the strongest in each sect, the strongest in the outer sect, and the strongest in the inner sect. Only three monks from each sect participated in the competition.
A total of ten sects participated, which were called the Ten Directions Sects by the human race.
Because these ten sects occupy ten territories of the Jizhou human race, they are among the ten strongest sects of the Jizhou human race. These ten sects all have Supreme Immortal Luo Tian, but Yuhua Sect and Sixiang Sect have more Supreme Immortals Luo Tian than the other eight sects, and their overall strength exceeds the other eight sects, while Yuhua Sect and Sixiang Sect have more Supreme Immortal Luo Tian. Sects, both in terms of top strength and similar overall strength, are known as the two strongest sects among the top ten sects.
The interstate competition that takes place once a century is held in the ten sects in turn. These ten sects divided the resources of the Jizhou human race into three levels: upper, middle and lower.
The competition between inner sects is a re-division of superior resources, the competition between outer sects is a re-division of mid-level resources, and the competition between handymen is a re-division of inferior resources.
After these ten sects have divided their resources, they will each return to their own sect's sphere of influence to hold a sect competition.
For example, Yuhua Sect, there are many small and medium-sized sects within the Yuhua Sect's sphere of influence. These sects will also hold competitions hosted by the Yuhua Sect within the Yuhua Sect's sphere of influence. Then Yuhua Sect will redistribute resources to these small and medium-sized sects according to their strength ranking.
The Yuhua Sect controls a very wide territory and has many resources. It is impossible for the Yuhua Sect to fully manage these resources. How many monks does the Yuhua Sect have?
Then why don’t you still practice cultivation?
Therefore, except for some important resources, the rest will be allocated to these small and medium-sized sects. Of course, while these small and medium-sized sects are developing these resources, they need to hand over their shares to the Yuhua Sect.
Then, these small and medium-sized sects will host competitions among the families within their own sect, and then redistribute these resources to each family, and then they will receive their share.
