Chapter 164: Gu Shenghai Comes to Ask for Elixir
In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, and to prevent the top-quality Jin Yuan Dan from falling into the hands of others, Gu Shenghai rushed to Silver Maple City almost at night.
However, when Gu Shenghai came outside Yin Maple City, he saw an old acquaintance outside.
The leader of the northern branch of the Immortal Ruins of the Bingxin Sword Sect, Pei Chang.
The other party has a fairy-like appearance, wearing a crescent phoenix tail skirt, a white jade ribbon tied at the waist, and a pair of medium-sized white jade, with cold facial features, picturesque eyebrows, and an iceberg that should be avoided by strangers all over her body. temperament.
"Sect Master Pei?"
Gu Shenghai's rough and majestic face showed a hint of surprise.
As the leader of the Great Perfection of the Golden Core, Pei Chang, why did he suddenly come to Silver Maple City?
Could it be...
Is it also for that top-grade Jin Yuan Dan?
Thinking of this, Gu Shenghai's heart sank.
As Jindan Dzogchen, they definitely don't need the so-called top-quality Jinyuandan.
The reason for coming to Silver Maple City is simply to find magic elixirs for my disciples or children. Otherwise, there is no need to lose face and come to ask for elixirs in person.
Pei Chang glanced at Gu Shenghai, her cold eyes showed no emotion, she just nodded slightly in greeting, and then walked towards the city gate with her sword.
"No, looking at her like this, she must be plotting the best Jin Yuan Dan for her disciples. We must not let her get there first!"
A flash of urgency flashed in Gu Shenghai's eyes, and his tall body flew away with a flying sword, like a moving mountain, causing many monks around him to avoid him and not dare to approach easily.
"Golden elixir Dzogchen?"
"When will the Golden Elixir Perfection set foot in this barren land in the northeast of the Immortal Ruins?"
"Did something happen?"
Many monks looked horrified and confused.
According to common sense, Jindan Dzogchen Master would not easily come to such a place with thin spiritual energy, unless someone found something strange here, which attracted Dzogchen Master to come in person.
"He is the sect leader of the northern branch of Chunyang Sword Sect and Bingxin Sword Sect!"
A fake elixir master recognized the identity of the two golden elixirs.
At this moment, even if it was Foundation Establishment Dzogchen or Jin Dan Zhenren, facing these two behemoths, they would immediately choose to avoid them or bow their hands to show respect.
Gu Shenghai and Pei Chang, the two golden elixir masters, did not pay attention to others at all, so they just stood on the top of the city with Li Guanyuan with his sword hanging in the air worthy of their glance.
Pei Chang glanced at Li Guanyuan, said nothing more, and headed towards Peach Blossom Peak.
Li Guanyuan did not do anything to stop him, but his eyes fell on Gu Shenghai.
Just this look made Gu Shenghai feel wary, the hair on his body stood up, and his eyes subconsciously showed a look of caution.
"It's True Lord Nascent Soul!"
Gu Shenghai was shocked, but he soon felt relieved.
Li Guanyuan, who had produced high-quality golden elixirs, and his talent in swordsmanship, had long been under the focus of cultivation by the Li family.
This time when Li Guanyuan left the Li family and came to Silver Maple City, there would be at least one Nascent Soul Lord willing to protect him to avoid any unexpected events.
Moreover, the Li family and the Huyan family have always had a blood feud, and they would almost fight to the death when they met. The Li family was also worried that the Huyan family did not respect martial ethics and would break the rules and kill Li Guanyuan.
After thinking about all this, Gu Shenghai looked at Pei Chang who was gradually arriving at Peach Blossom Peak, his eyes became more and more anxious, and he said to Li Guanyuan's spiritual consciousness:
"Friend Daoist Li, I am just here to ask for elixirs, and have no other intention."
"Come for the top-quality Jin Yuan Dan?"
"Exactly."
"This elixir is gone, please come back."
"..."
Hearing this, Gu Shenghai was startled, but he did not dare to get angry at Li Guanyuan, so he could only stare at Pei Chang's cool and graceful back.
really!
Pei Chang really came here for the top-quality Jin Yuan Dan!
Gu Shenghai secretly gritted his teeth and already regretted in his heart. If he had known this, he would have agreed to Liu Xiaoxian's conditions and exchanged the "Yang Soul Secret Scroll" for the top-quality Jin Yuan Dan.
well!
Gu Shenghai sighed deeply in his heart. The "Secret Scroll of Yang Soul" was a weakened version of the "Sun Heart Sutra" from the headquarters, and it was not his property. As long as Li Guanxuan promised not to spread it to others, he could get the top-quality Jin Yuan Dan at almost no cost.
It's a pity that because of my arrogance and prejudice, I ruined an opportunity to get the best Jin Yuan Dan for free.
The intestines of the ancient sea are regretful.
When he saw Pei Chang coming out of Peach Blossom Peak, he was unwilling to give up the elusive opportunity, so he quickly stepped forward and said:
"Sect Master Pei, please stay."
Pei Chang just glanced at him lightly, but didn't stop for a moment and rushed outside.
"If you have anything to say, just tell me, I'm in a hurry."
Hearing this, Gu Shenghai breathed a sigh of relief and didn't care much about Pei Chang's indifferent attitude.
As the head of the two major sword sects, he can be said to have a better understanding of Pei Chang's character.
Not just Pei Chang, but the entire Bingxin Sword Sect's sword cultivators all have a cold temperament.
"Sect Master Pei should know that Pindao has a son, and he values Zi'an very much. Now Zi'an is about to reach the Great Perfection of Foundation Building, but due to his mediocre talent and qualifications, Pindao has to find high-quality Jinyuan Dan for him in order to ensure that Zi'an can be safe. Able to produce low-grade golden elixir..."
Having said this, Gu Shenghai sighed, clasped his fists and said, "If Sect Master Pei is willing to give up his love and sell the top-quality Jin Yuandan to me, Pindao will definitely remember Sect Master Pei's kindness. If Pindao needs help in the future, Pindao will Never refuse.”
After hearing this, Pei Chang turned her head with a strange look and stared at Gu Shenghai, and said slowly:
"I don't have the best Jinyuan Pill."
"What?"
Gu Shenghai was immediately dumbfounded.
No best Jinyuan Pill?
Then why did she go to Taohua Peak?
What is there for a junior like Li Guanxuan that is worthy of a branch leader to come in person?
"If it's not for the best Jinyuan Pill... then why did you go to Taohua Peak?" Gu Shenghai asked with a puzzled look.
What can Taohua Peak, which is only in the late stage of foundation building, attract a branch leader?
Even if Li Guanxuan has now refined the best Jinyuan Pill and officially become a third-level lower-grade alchemist, Pei Chang, who has reached the great perfection of the golden pill, has no high demand for third-level pills.
It's impossible to ask Li Guanxuan to make the elixir...
"Send the Heart Sutra."
Pei Chang said lightly: "Li Guanxuan obtained the "Sun Heart Sutra" of your Pure Yang Sword Sect through the connections of the Li family. Now the headquarters has issued an order to me to send the "Taiyin Heart Sutra" over."
Hearing this, Gu Shenghai was stunned, and his heart was extremely shocked.
When did Li Guanxuan become so valued in the Li family?
Is it because of Li Guanyuan's relationship?
Gu Shenghai felt a little uncomfortable. If it weren't for the matter of bloodline heirs, his contribution would probably also get the "Sun Heart Sutra" from the headquarters.
"The relationship between the Li family and the headquarters should not be as good as that of your Bingxin Sword Sect, right? Why did the headquarters send the "Sun Heart Sutra" out?" Gu Shenghai couldn't help asking.
Pei Chang smiled faintly and said, "As far as I know, it was a Transformation Spiritual Venerable who personally went to Sun Sword Mountain and swept away many elders, and finally forced the Grand Elder of your Pure Yang Sword Sect to come forward, and the matter was finally settled."
Speaking of this, Pei Chang glanced at Gu Shenghai, with a bit of pity in his expression.
As the leader of the branch, Gu Shenghai only cares about Gu Zi'an's growth, but he doesn't even know about the things in the central part of the Immortal Ruins.
It is enough to see that the development of the Pure Yang Sword Sect's Immortal Ruins North Branch has lagged behind.
"What?"
Gu Shenghai's face suddenly changed.
There was actually a Transformation Spiritual Venerable who went to Sun Sword Mountain in person for Li Guanxuan?
No...
It is very likely that the other party has a grudge with the top management.
Taking the "Sun Heart Sutra" may just be a side thing.
After all, Li Guanxuan is just an outgoing disciple. No matter how important Li Guanyuan's status in the Li family is, it is impossible for the Transformation Spiritual Venerable to come forward in person to do things.
"Li Guanxuan now has a lot of experience in the method of refining Jinyuan Dan, and even has a deep attainment. In the future, he will be able to produce at least one low-grade Jindan...
With the relationship with Li Guanyuan, he will definitely be able to return to the Li family to hold an important position in the future. He should not have too much conflict with Li Guanxuan. He should always consider Li Guanyuan's face."
Gu Shenghai thought about it carefully and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there were just some disagreements, not any grudges.
However, Pei Chang came to give the "Taiyin Heart Sutra", which also proved that Li Guanxuan still had the best Jinyuan Dan in his hand.
His son Gu Zi'an still had a chance to produce a low-grade Jindan!
Thinking of this, Gu Shenghai felt much more relieved. With his status and position, Li Guanxuan would never give him some face.
Moreover, if Li Guanxuan was still active in the northern part of Xianxu in the future, he might need his help sometimes.
"Thank you, Sect Master Pei, for telling me this. Gu will go to buy the best Jinyuan Dan first!"
After saying goodbye, Gu Shenghai flew towards Yinfeng City.
Pei Chang just looked back, her eyes calm, but the corners of her mouth inadvertently raised a hint of sarcasm.
Although she was a little unhappy about sending the "Taiyin Heart Sutra", she knew after personally understanding that this was an order from the head of the headquarters.
She also went to see Qin Jiyue in person and found that the other party was a Taiyin sword body.
Although he was a demon sword cultivator, the Li family had obviously accommodated him, otherwise the Spiritual Master of Transformation would not have come forward again to help obtain the "Taiyin Heart Sutra".
"Li Guanxuan's talent may not be as bad as the rumors say. His understanding of the sword intent has even caught up with Li Guanyuan when he was in the late stage of foundation building..."
Pei Chang narrowed her cold and beautiful eyes.
Li Guanxuan has been pretending to be an ordinary cultivator. Is it a secret hint from the Li family?
Or...
The Li family is going to play a big game in the Immortal Ruins?
The dignified sword fairy Li family is open and aboveboard, but I didn't expect that they would also play some conspiracies and tricks.
Pei Chang didn't think that Gu Shenghai would be successful in buying the best Jinyuan Pill from Taohua Peak.
The best Jinyuan Pill cannot be measured by spirit stones, and must be exchanged for something valuable.
Besides, Qin Jiyue is about to complete the foundation building. As long as he practices the Taiyin Heart Sutra, he will at least produce a top-grade Jindan in less than five years.
If he has the help of the best Jinyuan Pill...
He might be the second Liu Xiaoxian.
Zijindan Zhenren, no wonder the Li family would accommodate this demon sword cultivator.
...
When Gu Shenghai came to Taohua Peak in person, he was told by the housekeeper Wu Yu that the master and the ladies were in seclusion and could not see guests, so please come again next time.
Hearing this, Gu Shenghai frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy.
However, thinking that Li Guanyuan was in Yinfeng City, and there was also a Yuanying Zhenjun of the Li family hiding in the city, his displeasure gradually subsided.
Now he can no longer look down on Li Guanxuan.
There was no choice but to wait quietly outside Taohua Peak.
Half a month later.
After Li Guanxuan learned from Wu Yu that the leader of the branch of the Chunyang Sword Sect came to visit, he came out to greet him personally and entertained him in the reception room halfway up the mountain.
Although Gu Shenghai was a little reluctant, now that he had met Li Guanxuan, as long as he could get the top-quality Jin Yuan Dan, the wait would still be worth it.
"The ancient sect master's great presence has brought glory to the humble abode." Li Guanxuan smiled politely.
He probably guessed why the other party came.
"I've heard about Master Li's name for a long time, but when I saw him today, he is really a talented person."
Gu Shenghai smiled and said polite words.
After chatting, Gu Shenghai got to the point and said: "Alchemist Li, Mr. Gu came here today to buy the top-quality Jin Yuan Dan in your hand. I wonder what the conditions are for Master Li?"
He was ready to be slaughtered.
There is no way. If I had agreed to the deal earlier, I wouldn't have to pay such a huge price today.
It was all his fault, so he had no choice but to admit his defeat.
Hearing this, Li Guanxuan showed a look of helplessness on his face and said, "I'm sorry, Ancient Sect Leader, I don't plan to sell this top-grade Jin Yuan Dan anymore."
"What?!"
Gu Shenghai stood up in excitement. His height of 2.5 meters was enough to give people a strong sense of oppression, and his bell-like eyes were huge.
Soon, Gu Shenghai also realized that he had lost his composure, sat back on the chair again, and said solemnly:
"Alchemist Li should also know that Quanzi's talent and qualifications are not very good. Without the top-grade Jin Yuan Dan, it may be difficult to form a low-grade Jin Yuan Dan in this life...
As long as Master Li is willing to sell the best Jin Yuan Dan to me, I will accept it no matter what the conditions are. "
Gu Shenghai still thinks that he is not sincere enough, so he directly asks Li Guanxuan to bid.
No matter how unhappy he was, he couldn't do anything to Li Guanxuan.
After all, there is a statue of True Lord Nascent Soul standing outside Peach Blossom Peak.
Even if he had a hundred lives, he would not be able to kill the children of the Li family in front of the true king of the Li family.
Li Guanxuan explained patiently: "The ancient sect leader didn't know that his wife Qin Jiyue is the Taiyin Sword Body. Now it has almost reached the foundation building perfection and is preparing to form a magical elixir. Therefore, this top-quality Jin Yuan Dan is really difficult to For sale, I hope the ancient sect leader will forgive me.”
After hearing these words, Gu Shenghai immediately woke up.
It’s not that his conditions are not strong enough.
But no matter what conditions he puts forward, they are not as important as Qin Jiyue's pill formation!
Therefore, no matter how many benefits he promised or how big the cake he drew today, Li Guanxuan would not be tempted at all.
"Okay, Gu knows it. This matter was caused by Gu himself and he has no one to blame."
Gu Shenghai sighed, feeling a little regretful in his heart. Why didn't he agree to it in the first place?
Why do you have to look down on others? !
It's fine now, I'm no longer interested in any conditions!
Li Guanxuan stood up and bowed his hands without saying anything.
