Chapter 39: Some Are Happy, some Are Sad

The news that Gu Xiuyun died in the wilderness spread quickly, and a storm surged in Yuning City again.

"I never thought that the fourth branch of the Gu family was still holding a celebration a few days ago, but today they are holding a funeral."

"Life is unpredictable, interesting, too interesting!"

A hearty laugh came from the dark secret room.

"Sir, Gu Xiuyun is dead, can the spies who sneaked into the fourth branch be withdrawn first?" the old man asked.

They have limited manpower, and Yuning City is the territory of the Gu and Yu families. It is difficult to insert practitioners, so every bit of strength must be used to the extreme.

"Just do as you say, withdraw the spies!" A rough voice responded.

...

In the courtyard of Mrs. Yu, the fourth branch of the Gu family, crying can be heard everywhere, and the air seems to be filled with clouds of sorrow.

"Madam, you should mourn." Chang Bo comforted.

"Why are you mourning? Yun'er has already enlightened his spiritual veins and ascended to the immortal realm. I don't believe he would die in the wilderness. Who made up this rumor? Drag him out and beat him to death." Madam Yu shouted angrily.

"Madam, it was Gu Xiuzhe from the main vein who spread the rumor. I heard that the young master's guards had returned to the city, but the young master was nowhere to be seen. After the generals guarding the city inquired, they learned that the young master had died in the wilderness."

"I don't believe it. Find those guards and I want to interrogate them in person." Madam Yu was almost hysterical.

"Those guards offended Gu Xiuzhe and are now imprisoned in the dungeon of the main vein. Gu Xiuzhe is a peak powerhouse in the Yuanling Ximai realm. In terms of status, he is higher than the third master. I'm afraid we can't get him."

"I don't believe it. You are lying to me! You are lying to me!" Madam Yu was almost crazy.

"Alas!"

Outside the courtyard, the third master sighed.

He never liked Gu Xiuyun, but because he had only one legitimate son, he allowed him to spend his time outside and never questioned him. Unexpectedly, the prodigal son who was not favored by everyone, actually enlightened his spiritual veins and became a cultivator.

Gu Qingyuan didn't say it, but he was very happy in his heart.

At the age of seventeen, he enlightened his spiritual veins, and there is a great hope for opening the heavenly gate in the future.

You know, Gu Qingyuan is now fifty-seven years old, but he is still stuck at the peak of the cleansing meridians. Even if he can break through, he doesn't have enough lifespan to open the heavenly gate!

The human race is different from the monster beasts. As long as the monster beasts step into the meridian opening realm, they will undergo a transformation and their lifespan will skyrocket. They are born with low intelligence, but they have unique talents.

And the human warriors, even if they break through to the meridian opening realm, their lifespan will not increase at all. Only by opening the heavenly gate can they break the shackles of life and extend their lifespan.

"Maybe I was wrong," Gu Qingyuan sighed to the sky, "If I could

teach Xiuyun carefully and teach him all the secrets of the immortal way, how could he die in the wilderness?"

...

The sadness of the fourth branch of the Gu family did not spread to the main vein.

Gu Xiuyun's death did not even attract the attention of the main vein strongmen.

On the contrary, they were decorating with lanterns and holding a big banquet to celebrate Yan Suqing's safe return to the city.

"Miss Yan, I heard that you were chased by a python monster and died. The fourth uncle was so angry that he killed a group of Kaimai realm monsters!"

"That day, the fourth uncle brought more than a dozen monster corpses back to the city, which frightened many people."

"At that time, I said that Miss Yan was born with a spiritual vein. Once awakened, she broke through to the Kaimai realm directly. How could such a genius be killed by a python monster?"

The main vein clan members said one after another.

Even the fourth uncle of the Gu family looked at Yan Suqing with a smile on his face, and his tone was quite gentle.

All this was because Yan Suqing had opened up the first level of the sky.

It was almost certain that the strong man of the first level would become the top of the Fenglin Club.

And other families, even if they had innate spiritual veins, could not just have a Quling flower to open up the sky.

After all, Quling flowers are difficult to preserve. Once picked, they will wither quickly.

"Girl Yan, you don't have to listen to these people's nonsense. They just want to please you and get the two places."

The fourth uncle laughed.

Of course, he hoped that Yan Suqing would choose the Gu clan and worship the elders together.

But there are many geniuses in the Yan clan, and Yan Suqing is from the Yan clan, so how could she not choose the same clan?

As for Gu Xiuli, he abandoned Yan Suqing and escaped alone. He made such a big mistake. He was lucky not to be executed. He still wanted to get a place?

"Senior, I have made a decision in my mind." Yan Suqing smiled.

…

Gu Xiuyun didn't know the situation in Youning City. At this moment, all his thoughts were on cultivation.

The stalactite spiritual liquid in the spiritual liquid pool was extremely pure. Every drop of spiritual liquid could decompose a large amount of purple spiritual power and integrate it into the spiritual veins.

In just a few days, Gu Xiuyun broke through from the early stage of the meridian cleansing realm to the late stage.

If others saw it, they would definitely scold him for wasting heaven's gifts.

You know, in the early stage of the Pulse Cleansing Realm, there is a lot of demon blood in the spirit vein, and it is easy to cleanse it, so from the early stage to the late stage, there is no need to rely on purple energy.

Only when you reach the peak of the Pulse Cleansing Realm, the demon blood in the spirit vein is almost eliminated, leaving only the deepest blood, which is difficult for ordinary spiritual power to reach, and you need to rely on purple energy.

But Gu Xiuyun didn't care and desperately exhaled purple energy. How could such a waste not make people angry?

Tsk!

The purple energy continued to merge into his body and dissipate. The spirit vein of the Yuanling Pulse Cleansing Realm was too weak to accumulate much spiritual power at all, and the excess could only be wasted.

In this process of fusion and dissipation, the demon blood left the spirit vein with the spiritual power and dissipated into the air.

Suddenly, Gu Xiuyun opened his eyes, and a strong spiritual power wave filled his surroundings.

Under his control, the spiritual power continued to condense into patterns, and finally formed a complex ban.

"Get up!"

Gu Xiuyun shouted lightly, and the whole person floated up in the air.

"Being able to float half a foot high in the air, the Lichen Escape Technique should be considered a small success!" Gu Xiuyun nodded slightly.

After many days of deduction, he finally mastered the Lichen Escape Technique.

Once the Lichen Escape Technique is performed, the whole person is suspended in the air for half a foot, not stuck by external objects, and the speed is extremely fast.

If Fengboxing can make his speed comparable to that of a great demon in the early stage of Kaimai Realm, then Lichen Escape can make his speed comparable to that of a great python demon.

Of course, that is the early stage of Yuanling Ximai Realm.

Now Gu Xiuyun's cultivation has broken through to the late stage of Ximai Realm, and the spiritual power in his body has become much purer, and his speed will increase.

"Calculate the time, the Fenglin Meeting should start!" Gu Xiuyun's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

According to the tribesmen, the Fenglin Club will last for three days.

On the first day, the Ruoshui Sect envoy will summon a group of monsters and let the elite children of the major families fight with them. The strength of the monsters will continue to grow from the early stage of the Yuanling Ximai Realm.

During this period, the more monsters killed, the higher the ranking, until the peak monsters of the Yuanling Ximai Realm are killed.

There will be no Kaimai Realm monsters in the selection on the first day.

Because the practitioners who can participate in the Fenglin Club must be under 20 years old, only those with innate spiritual veins can break through to the Kaimai Realm at this age, and those with innate spiritual veins are of noble status. If there are casualties, it will be a big loss to the human race.

According to the rules, only those who kill all the monsters can advance to participate in the selection on the second day.

Although there are many geniuses in the major families, there are only three or four people who can kill all the monsters, except for those with innate spiritual veins, so the top ten places are basically decided on the first day.

In the next two days, the competition is for the top three and the top of the Fenglin Club.

According to the rules, the top three of the Fenglin Club can all receive a spiritual weapon, and the top of the list, in addition to the spiritual weapon, can also choose two additional children from aristocratic families to worship under the elders.

These two places are extremely precious to the major aristocratic families. The sect missions of the Ruoshui Sect are very dangerous, and it is easy to die. If you can worship under the elders, you can practice safely.
