Chapter 68: Farewell
Sunstone is bred from magma. It looks like a stubborn stone, but it is actually the essence of fire. A stubborn stone can burn for hundreds of years. It is also the fire used by aristocratic families to refine weapons.
There are many sun stones in the Gu family.
"It seems that the spiritual objects needed for the Life Star Pearl are in the order in which the five elements are mutually reinforcing and interfering." Gu Xiuyun recalled the first four objects, thoughtfully.
Among the five life star beads, the first requires a jade pendant, which belongs to earth;
The second one requires an emerald gold knife, and the gold knife belongs to gold, so it happens to be native to gold;
The third one requires water-spirited ancient jade. Ancient jade condenses the essence of water, so ancient jade belongs to water, and gold generates water;
The fourth requires wood spirit beads, water-derived wood;
The fifth requires sunstone and wood to create fire.
It can be seen from this that what the Life Star Pearl chooses happens to be the five elements, and in the order in which the five elements produce each other.
"I wonder what spiritual objects will be needed after the Sunstone?" Gu Xiuyun was secretly curious.
To him, the influence of the Life Star Pearl on his longevity is no longer important. As long as he opens a level of heaven, his life span will immediately skyrocket. Even without the Life Star Pearl, Gu Xiuyun can continue to practice safely.
A hundred years are enough for him to open up several more heavenly realms.
After repairing the Life Star Orb, Gu Xiuyun breathed a sigh of relief and chatted with the three of them leisurely.
They had just killed a demon general, and the wind was rumbling in Beiqiong Mountain at the moment. They would definitely not be able to go out, and they would have to wait for at least three more days.
In the Zhima Cave, they couldn't swallow the essence of the sun and the moon, so they couldn't do anything except chat.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, you just said that you saw a bull that stepped on the ocean. With just one breath, the bull could cause huge waves?" Mr. Wu looked thoughtful.
"Yes, this is what I saw in Xiayu's fantasy world," Gu Xiuyun nodded, "Did Fellow Daoist Wu guess the origin of the evil cultivator?"
Taoist Jingquan and Taoist Jing'an also looked at Wu Lao. Although these two people had higher cultivation levels, they were only in their forties this year. In addition to practicing hard behind closed doors every day, they fought with monsters and beasts in exchange for contributions to the sect and to monsters. Little is known about cultivating evil ways.
In the Weak Water Sect, the sect's contribution is of great use. In addition to exchanging elixirs, spiritual weapons, etc., the most important thing is that it can delay the distribution of sect tasks.
According to the rules of the Weak Water Sect, ordinary disciples who join the sect must complete one sect task every year. After ten years, if they can complete ten tasks, they will be free and will no longer be bound by the Weak Water Sect. You can choose to return to your family or travel around.
However, many disciples cannot accomplish one task a year, so the Ruoshui Sect has set up another rule. As long as you pay one hundred sect contribution points, you can take a year off. Therefore, the Ruoshui Sect has many inner disciples, until Even after old age and death, he was unable to complete ten sect tasks.
Of course, if they do this, it means that they will never be able to leave the Weak Water Sect for the rest of their lives.
In comparison, for outer disciples like Wu Lao, the sect tasks assigned to them are much easier, and they have a high chance of survival. Therefore, Wu Lao completed ten tasks early, and now as an external deacon, he is living quite a leisurely life. .
It is precisely because of this that Wu Lao spent a lot of time wandering around the Hall of Scriptures and reading unofficial histories.
"Listening to Fellow Taoist Gu's description, I did think of a kind of monster. In ancient times, there was a kind of monster called Shen Kui. It looked like a bull. It was born in the depths of the ocean and had the powerful power to mobilize rivers and seas." Wu Lao Weiwei said, "However, Shen Kui has disappeared from the world a long time ago. Even if there are descendants of the bloodline that remain, they are at most miscellaneous side branches. How did the evil cultivator condense the bloodline of Shen Kui?"
It is absolutely impossible to condense the bloodline of the ancestor based on the side branches of mixed blood alone, unless the demon blood that enlightens the spiritual veins of the demon comes from Shen Kui's body.
"Ancient monster, Shen Kui?"
Gu Xiuyun frowned. He was also curious about the fantasy scene that day. How could a monster be so huge, standing on the ocean, with its body touching the sky?
With its feet on the ground and its head in the sky, you can see how huge the barbarian bull is. One of its feet may be bigger than Youning City. Even the Demon King of Douxiao realm looks insignificant in front of the barbarian bull.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, I once heard from the elders in the clan that the strongest force in the evil cultivator is Dark Moon Mountain. I wonder if there is any record in the Weak Water Sect?" Gu Xiuyun asked.
"There are indeed records about Dark Moon Mountain in the Hall of Scriptures," Wu Lao pondered for a moment before speaking. "It is said that Dark Moon Mountain was created by an ancient great demon. Its original intention was to combine human cultivation with demon cultivation." Combined, thereby breaking the shackles of one's own cultivation. Unexpectedly, in the end, he created a lineage of evil cultivation. Later,
All the evil cultivators learned from Dark Moon Mountain. "
"Fellow Daoist Gu, the demon cultivator you saw probably came from Dark Moon Mountain. This lineage is incompatible with the human race. You must be careful." Mr. Wu reminded him.
"I understand." Gu Xiuyun nodded slightly.
"Speaking of Dark Moon Mountain, our sect mission this time is not related to the evil cultivators," Taoist Jing Quan suddenly interrupted, "The fellow brothers who came back from that bottomless pit all said that there were demon cultivators and evil cultivators in and out of it. I don’t know what they are planning.”
"What bottomless pit?" Gu Xiuyun asked curiously.
"It's a cave abyss deep in Beiqiong Mountain." Taoist Jingquan explained. He was about to continue talking when he saw Wu Lao and Taoist Jing'an glare at him and quickly shut his mouth, not daring to say anything more.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, this matter involves the sect's mission and is also a secret within the sect. It is not easy to talk to outsiders. Please forgive me." Wu Lao said apologetically.
"I made a mistake. I should apologize." Gu Xiuyun quickly clasped his fists.
After a chat, the four of them sat cross-legged, closed their eyes and regulated their breathing.
Taoist Jing'an had just recovered from a serious injury and looked a little weak, but his cultivation was profound. In just three days, his complexion was no different from that of an ordinary person. The spiritual power in his body was diffused around him, and he could burst out a shocking attack at any time.
"Daoyou Gu, I am grateful for your kindness, but the three of us have a mission to complete, so we must go to the bottomless cave as soon as possible, so we bid farewell." Taoist Jing'an bowed.
"Daoyou Jing'an, you don't have to be polite. I have already collected the purple Ganoderma lucidum, and it's time to leave Beiqiong Mountain. See you next time, maybe we can call each other brothers." Gu Xiuyun nodded and smiled.
He must attend the Fenglin meeting three years later.
Only by becoming a disciple of the elder of the Weak Water Sect can Gu Xiuyun open up the Heavenly Gate without any scruples and improve his cultivation.
"Haha, if that day really comes, I will take Daoyou to visit Tianhu and see the beautiful scenery of the Weak Water Sect." Taoist Jing'an laughed loudly.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, I bid you farewell." Wu Lao and Taoist Jingquan clasped their fists and bowed.
"Three Daoists, we will meet again if we are destined to meet."
"We will meet again if we are destined to meet."
Watching Wu Lao and the other two escape into the depths of the dense forest, Gu Xiuyun turned around and walked alone towards the foot of Beiqiong Mountain.
