Chapter 294 Finally discovered pat. Something fell to the ground, and when I looked closely, it was the tortoise shell. The turtle shell rolled on the ground for a circle before it stopped, with tiny cracks spreading on it. The vertical eye between Qi Mingkun's eyebrows had disappeared, leaving only a bloody gap. "Master!" Qi Mingkun's disciple's face turned grim. He rushed forward and supported Qi Mingkun as he was about to fall to the ground. "Brother Qi!" Bai Zongyi was at a loss as to what to do. He didn't expect such a thing to happen. Wang Zufeng and others looked at each other in bewilderment. They didn’t know what had just happened. Qi Mingkun seemed to have regained consciousness at this time. He shook his body and stood up. He raised his hand to push his disciple away, turned his head and stared at Bai Zongyi, his face covered in blood. "Who exactly are you trying to count?"

Bai Zongyi forced a smile and said, "He is just a cultivator from the floating world. Brother Qi, are you okay?" "Big deal? Oh, it's just that I lost a magical power and lost a few decades of life!" Qi Mingkun's face was gloomy, and then he said: "Show him off, Ling Xiang, show him off for me!" Bai Zongyi was stunned: "Brother Qi, I am really sorry, I..." Qi Mingkun interrupted, "Don't say anything more, get the guest out!" "Dear seniors, please come in!" Qi Mingkun's disciples stood in front and raised their hands to drive them away. Bai Zongyi wanted to say something, but Qi Mingkun didn't wait to see them off and turned into the courtyard. Bai Zongyi could only sigh and, under the guidance of Qi Mingkun's apprentice, he left the mountain. Chen Shiwei and the others had gloomy faces. It cost a lot to come here. Not to mention the teleportation formation, the things they gave to Qi Mingkun before were all collected by everyone. And now they were driven out without receiving any news. Qi Mingkun is the elder of the Four Symbols Sect, and this place is within the territory of the Four Symbols Sect. They dared to be angry but not to speak out, so they naturally transferred their dissatisfaction to Bai Zongyi, the leader. "Brother Bai, we have come here from thousands of miles away, offering spiritual veins and magic weapons, but now we are being driven out for no apparent reason?" Wang Zufeng said with a gloomy expression. The others also looked at Bai Zongyi. Bai Zongyi said with a somewhat unpleasant expression: "Didn't you see what happened just now? Elder Qi was seriously injured because of us, his heavenly eye was broken, and the tortoise shell was destroyed. What else can we say?" The Tong family ancestor muttered, "Take on tasks that are as big as your ability, otherwise who knows if he is just pretending?" The other few people remained silent, obviously dissatisfied with the result. Bai Zongyi snorted coldly: "Do you all feel that you have been tricked by Bai?" The Tong family patriarch's face slightly changed, and he said awkwardly: "Brother Bai, we can definitely trust you. Facing the world struggle, we are all in the same boat. I did say something wrong just now, but it's just because of the current situation, every bit of resources is very important. Wang Zufeng said: "Well, it's not that we didn't gain nothing just now. At least we know that Gu Yuanqing is following the path of incense and fire. No wonder his cultivation progressed so quickly. If he follows this path, it wouldn't be surprising..."

…… "Master, are you okay?" After seeing the guest off and returning to the mountain, the disciple asked worriedly. Qi Mingkun's face was slightly pale. He played with the cracked tortoise shell, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's okay, but this treasure is mostly useless. But it's okay. I'll use this magic less in the future. I suffered a great loss today, but it can be regarded as a reminder. Otherwise, I will provoke a strong enemy without knowing it." He couldn't help but ask, "Master, from what Senior Bai said, this person is just from the floating world. How can he be so powerful that he can break Master's magic?" Qi Mingkun said calmly: "It has been a long time since the Floating Realm rose to the Linglong Realm. If it weren't for great luck, how could one stand out from the Floating Realm and qualify for the realm competition? Even my Four Symbols Realm also came from the Floating Realm countless years ago. If it weren't for the sect elders who seized the opportunity and forged a friendship with the bloodlines of the four sacred beasts, we wouldn't have the Four Symbols Sect today." …… With this slash of the knife, Gu Yuanqing felt that the presence of anyone who was trying to spy on him disappeared completely. Gu Yuanqing intended to use the power of Beiquan Mountain to look at the source of the power just now, but he only felt that this power came across the underworld. "I don't know what the result of that knife just now was!" Gu Yuanqing withdrew his gaze and fixed it on the scent of incense outside the mountain. "Although it is not very useful for cultivation, it can be used to defend against enemies, which is quite useful." Each and every wisp of the scent of these incenses carries a thought of the utmost purity and faith, and when they come together, they produce all sorts of miraculous effects. For example, the sword just now seemed to cross the space, following the cause and effect and directly cutting the enemy's mind. This kind of technique has never been found in other skills practiced by Gu Yuanqing. "When you have some free time, you can think about it." Of course, for Gu Yuanqing, that was all. He could see clearly which was more important, these techniques or cultivation. "But who on earth suddenly attacked me again? Judging from the aura of the underworld, it doesn't seem to come from the Demon Realm. It seems more like the method of Linglong Realm. Could it be the Sanyang Sect?" This time I only had a slight contact with this aura and it felt quite strange, so I had to put it aside. Thinking of the Demon Realm, Gu Yuanqing couldn't help but take a look towards it. During these days, he occasionally saw magical beasts rushing into the Ten Thousand Mountains. These magical beasts were ferocious and bloodthirsty, and would stir up some chaos every time. At this time, the underground cave was suppressed by several major demon tribes. In terms of the strength of suppression, it was much stronger than the human race at that time. But the nature of demons is different from that of humans. Even the great demons have scattered temperaments. They may be thinking about how to guard the place one moment and be fast asleep the next. This also led to the situation that, although there were no powerful celestial realm monsters rushing out of the cave, it was not uncommon for ordinary monsters to sneak out. In the eyes of these monsters, the things that ran out were just small bugs that could be easily crushed to death, and had no effect at all. As for the casualties caused, there is no such thing as casualties in the Ten Thousand Mountains. On this day, there was another movement in the floating world. Gu Yuanqing followed the movement and found out that Li Chengyi had broken through to the third level of divine state. At this point, there were only a handful of people whose cultivation was higher than his. Gu Yuanqing gave all the magic weapons in his hand, such as the Hun Tian Rope and the Tianmen Order, to Li Chengyi. These things were of no use to him at this time. Only the Burning Heaven Tower, which was used to detain prisoners, was kept by him. Over the past few months, Li Chengyi's aura has become restrained and steady. He had extraordinary comprehension, and after several months he had gained some insights into the ways of cultivation, and he applied them to his own practice.

Gu Yuanqing smiled faintly as he looked at him. Li Chengyi learned that he needed to cultivate to see his mother. The motivation for this cultivation seemed to be much stronger. In the past few months, Li Chengyi has spent most of his time in Beiquan Mountain. And he pushed many matters of the Daqian Dynasty to the prince. Another thing happened during these months, that is, the child of Gu Siyuan, named by Gu Yuanqing, was born. As usual, three months after birth, Gu Yuanqing would wash his marrow and clear his meridians. Gu Yuanqing was naturally not stingy with his own offspring, and all the water he drank and used was the spiritual spring foundation water. The effect of the spiritual spring water at this time is much better than before. With the transformation of the spiritual mountain, it is more effective than any panacea in the world. This period of time was also the happiest time for the little fox. He followed Li Chengyi every day, and he felt comfortable even if he just watched from a distance. About another month passed before Gu Yuanqing entered the ancient world again. He tried his best to avoid everyone's sight and not to attract anyone's attention while fishing. Dao Souls below the Xuan level are fine, as long as they move quickly, they won’t attract anyone’s attention. The Dao Souls above the Xuan level are different. Even the lower-grade Xuan level will cause ripples in the Wuliang River. When one attains the highest level of mystery, it is almost impossible to avoid the perception of cultivators within a radius of three hundred miles. No matter how careful Gu Yuanqing was, there were bound to be some signs. The Dao Souls in the Wuliang River are very difficult to fish. In the past, it took a long time to catch a Dao Soul above the Xuan level. However, in recent months, someone has caught one almost every few days. If such a thing happened in the section occupied by the Huanling Sect, it would not be too eye-catching. After all, there are many masters there, and the fishing of the celestial beings is naturally incomparable to that of the Xutian cultivators. The Huanling Sect controls this place, so naturally they have their own unique methods of fishing for Dao Souls. The chances of success of Huanling Sect disciples in fishing for Dao Souls are much higher than others. In this downstream area, most of the people who hang around are independent cultivators, so such a thing is quite rare. It was okay at first, after all, Gu Yuanqing moved very quickly and only a few people noticed it. But as time went by, more and more people noticed this. I don't know who came up with this speculation. "My fellow Taoists, have you ever heard that the Wuliang River Great Fortune is coming?" "What kind of luck?" "You don't know this, but every few hundred years, there is a period of time when it is easier to retrieve Dao Souls from the Wuliang River. And many Dao Souls that were difficult to catch before can be caught. It is said that five hundred years ago, someone caught a Heavenly Dao Soul in the river, but unfortunately he was not able to subdue it." "No wonder I've noticed more and more people coming here to fish recently. So this is the reason." "Yes, even the top-ranked sects in Linglong Realm have many disciples coming here." "I was saying that more and more people have been able to summon Xuan-level Dao Souls recently. I've heard of three cases in the past two days." …… There were all kinds of discussions, and some people asked around, and it turned out to be true, as many people had caught good fish. He immediately began to call his friends, and within a few days, the number of people coming to fish in the Wuliang River seemed to have doubled.

Some monks who were looking for opportunities everywhere rushed over after hearing about this. It was originally just a guess, but as more and more people came, more and more monks believed it. As more monks appeared, more Dao Souls were caught. It seemed as if the original rumor had become a real event. But this is not a good thing for Gu Yuanqing. With so many people around, it will be more difficult for him to avoid being spotted. Moreover, he found that someone seemed to have been targeting him. He finally chose a secluded place, but less than half an hour later, a pair of eyes fell on him again. Gu Yuanqing once again felt what it meant when the tree wanted to be still but the wind did not stop. No matter how careful you are, it is still difficult to avoid it completely. "You have been following me for a long time, sneaking around. Why don't you come out and see me?" Gu Yuanqing said calmly. Three hundred feet away, a figure emerged from the void. It was a young man who looked to be in his twenties. "Fellow Daoist, your spiritual perception is extraordinary. I thought I had some accomplishments in the art of concealing my breath, but I was discovered before I even got within three hundred feet." Gu Yuanqing turned his head and took a look, his eyes slightly fixed, and asked, "Disciple of Huanling Sect?" The young man smiled and said, "Yes, I, Yi Yunbo, a disciple of Huanling Sect, have met Fellow Daoist Gu." He actually knows my last name? Gu Yuanqing stopped fishing, turned around, and said calmly: "It seems that I have never dealt with the Huanling Sect. I wonder why you came to see me?" Yi Yunbo chuckled and said, "My Huanling Sect is stationed in Wuliang River. After all, we can find out some information that ordinary people cannot grasp." Gu Yuanqing said calmly, "Oh? Just say it if you have something to say." Yi Yunbo smiled and said, "It's nothing. I'm just a little curious and admire your skill in fishing for Dao Souls. I wonder if you are interested in joining my Huanling Sect as an outer sect worshiper? I can recommend you." Gu Yuanqing smiled and asked, "What's the price? Huanling Sect is the second largest sect in Linglong Realm. How many cultivators want to join the sect but are unable to do so? Even if it's Xutian cultivators, Huanling Sect doesn't lack them, right?" "I am indeed quite interested in your method of refining Dao bait." Gu Yuanqing shook his head and smiled: "The Huanling Sect's ability to condense Dao Bait is unparalleled in the world, so why bother looking for trouble with me?" Yi Yunbo also sighed: "But some things are not something that everyone has the opportunity to learn. I hope you will carefully consider this opportunity. With the protection of my Huanling Sect, you don't have to worry about the difficulties of the Sanyang Sect." When Gu Yuanqing heard this, he could guess that Yi Yunbo knew more than he thought. But it's not too surprising, there are always traces to be found, especially for the Huanling Sect that has been stationed in the Wuliang River for who knows how long. There are not many high-quality Dao souls that can be caught, so it's easy to associate them with certain things. Gu Yuanqing seemed a little disappointed and said, "I've heard that the cultivators of Huanling Sect are unruly, but I didn't expect that they are not much different from Sanyang Sect." Yi Yunbo chuckled: "Daoyou, there is no need to ridicule me openly or secretly. We cultivators all follow our hearts. I will learn from you and you will enter my spirit. From now on, we will no longer have to worry about the demise of Dao. It can be said to be a win-win situation. Why not do it?" Gu Yuanqing was slightly surprised when he heard this, then nodded: "That's indeed the case." Yi Yunbo asked, "What do you think, Fellow Daoist Gu?" "But I refuse."

Yi Yunbo was stunned and asked, "Why?" Gu Yuanqing laughed: "Didn't you say that cultivators practice according to their heart? I think it would make my heart uncomfortable if I did that, so I won't do that. Do you accept this reason?" Upon hearing this, Yi Yunbo actually nodded seriously: "That's right, Daoist friend, you can say this, it really means you have a connection with our Huanling Sect. Only when your mind is not bound by external things can you practice the fundamental law of our Huanling Sect." "So what are you going to do, Your Excellency?" Yi Yunbo suddenly laughed: "It's not about what I'm going to do, but you should think about how to face the Sanyang Sect and the Sixiang Sect. Some things can't be hidden after all." I went back to my hometown during the National Day holiday, and the environment is not very suitable for typing, so... please forgive me, fellow Taoists~   (End of this chapter)
