I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 123 Jiang Ningxue serves, Ma Wu offers treasure! (-in-)

Dragon-binding wood?
  This is indeed the spiritual material that Gu Yuan urgently needs.

But he still shook his head: "Not enough!"

A piece of spiritual wood can only cultivate a magic seal. How can this value be compared to a living foundation-building monk?

"What do you want, senior brother?"

Bian Chuyao was not surprised by this result and asked again.

"I want to make good friends and recruit people into my team."

Gu Yuan smiled softly.

"Senior brother, do you want this woman to work for you?"

"To be honest, Junior Sister, Senior Brother Lu Guan from Biluo Peak has already exchanged a spiritual energy from me. The new Foundation Builders under his sect will serve me for fifty years. Not only that, all the Qi Refining monks under his sect will be available to me. Drive me to conquer the Red Moon River for me."

Bian Chuyao was silent for a while, and then said with a wry smile: "If you are an ordinary monk, it is natural for you to serve your senior brother, but this woman has extraordinary talent, and she is the meat and potatoes of Ruyi Peak. If you want her to work for your senior brother, I'm afraid yes……"

"What does that have to do with me? Could it be that Junior Sister wants to become an enemy? In the Taoist Academy, there are quite a few foundation-building monks under a hundred years old. The position of true successor is not certain. Isn't such a talented person like a tiger lying on his bed?"

Gu Yuan waved his sleeves and robe and said calmly.

In fact, he is not afraid of the so-called genius, he just wants to have another fight.

But it would be a bit stupid to have a strong enemy and then become a hindrance to oneself.

He is not the kind of crazy person who raises his enemies to hone himself.

"In that case, let Senior Sister Shen talk to Senior Brother on her own!"

It's not easy for Bian Chuyao to make the decision in this matter. Anyway, her identity today is just a broker.

Thinking of this, she stretched out her hand and directly hit a sound transmission talisman, flying towards Ruyi Peak.

"Senior Brother, please wait a moment. Senior Sister Shen will be here soon."

Bian Chuyao played the command talisman and then asked Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan is incompetent.

Time is running out to conquer Chiyue Dachuan, and he also hopes to finalize the matter as soon as possible and get the most help.

"I wonder how senior brother wants to distribute the subsequent spiritual energy?"

While waiting, Bian Chuyao was not idle and asked Gu Yuan what he thought.

"I'm just looking for someone with a pure heart who can help me."

Gu Yuan responded simply.

But he has already made a plan in his heart. After tomorrow, he will release the news and hold a spiritual energy competition.

Anyone who can establish a relationship with him should have been here in the past few days. Let them compete on their own for the rest.

However, the method of competition is not necessarily a battle of skills and wealth. If there are various skills of cultivation, Gu Yuan also intends to cultivate them.

After today's breathing practice, he has understood that in the future, he will probably need external help.

As for the many qi-refining monks in the Taoist Academy, he had already seen their talents at the Liuyun Banquet, and there did not seem to be many amazing and talented people in the fighting method. In this case, it would be better to train a few foundation builders who are good at alchemy and weapon refining. A monk becomes his own foundation and adds to his own practice.

"Ma Wu from Sanyan Cave, senior brother may want to consider it."

Bian Chuyao suddenly recommended someone.

"Oh?"

Gu Yuan looked at Bian Chuyao curiously.

"Senior brother, please don't misunderstand me. I will confiscate this person's benefits, but this person has a unique opportunity. At the Liuyun Banquet that day, he made what should be the 'Eating Fire and Turning to Heaven Seal'. I have seen this seal in the clan's secret book. , is the secret seal passed down by a Jindan sect called the 'Chixiao Sect'."

"This sect specializes in fire techniques, and there are endless fire seals in the sect. In particular, the fire-eating and heaven-turning seal is the most mysterious. It can absorb the spiritual fire of the world into the belly. If you practice it to the extreme, you will not only be invulnerable to all fires, but you can even Forging the body with fire has the effect of growing the bones."

"If I hadn't swallowed the Liuyan Golden Fruit that day, I might not have been able to capture this person."

"Senior brother does not practice the fire method, so this seal is useless to him. However, since this person can cultivate this seal, he may have obtained the inheritance of the Chixiao Sect. The Chixiao Sect was once the Golden Pill Sect. He, a Qi Refining cultivator, may not be able to discover it. At the end of the day, if senior brother accepts this person, he might be able to have the same fate as him!"

"Furthermore, even if we don't get this person's luck, the Chixiao sect is good at refining fire, and they also have mystical skills in refining alchemy. Maybe they can help senior brother."

Bian Chuyao smiled, then took out a secret book of rubbings and handed it to Gu Yuan.

In the secret book, there are records about the Chixiao Sect.

This sect was once glorious a thousand years ago. Later, it seemed that due to the inheritance within the sect, the golden elixir fell and a civil strife broke out. It was in ruins, and the secret realm inside the door was nowhere to be found.

"You specifically asked this person's name at the Liuyun Banquet that day. Was it just to recruit this person?"

"My spiritual energy must be given to the clan and cannot be shared. However, I know that my senior brother is unparalleled in strength, so I must have extra spiritual energy that can be given to me. Hey, if there is a secret realm, I can serve as a front and back horse for my senior brother. I just hope that my senior brother will not give it to me. Just feel disgusted..."

Bian Chuyao blinked and smiled slyly.

When she told Gu Yuan the news, she naturally wanted to share some benefits. However, she did not force the matter. She just subconsciously used the "persona of a weak woman". If she gets benefits, she will get them, and if she can't get them, she will be fine.

"Let's discuss this later. There may not be a secret place for you and me to explore, but this person can indeed be paid attention to..."

Gu Yuan put away the secret book and nodded slightly.

Ma Wu's strength was obvious to all at the Liuyun Banquet. This person had the best spiritual knowledge and extraordinary circumstances. If he hadn't encountered Bian Chuyao after swallowing the Liuyan Golden Fruit, he would have definitely been able to get a quota, and he would have been in the seventh rank.

However, this person's methods are too simple. Except for the strange seal that can swallow spiritual fire, the other methods are not very powerful. Once the opponent is not a person who practices fire magic, he will be defeated easily, so he has not obtained the last three places. , and ultimately returned empty-handed.

"Junior Brother Gu, please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting."

Just as the two were discussing, a spiritual thought floated down outside Diyan Island.

"Senior Sister Shen is here!"

Bian Chuyao said happily.

Gu Yuan's consciousness surged out, and he saw a beautiful woman wearing a green palace dress, with a beautiful appearance and a plump figure, standing in the sky outside Diyan Island. Her cultivation had reached the late stage of foundation building.

Beside him, there was a girl with delicate features, a long skirt and a graceful figure.

The girl's eyes were cold, with an aura that said no strangers should enter. Although her cultivation level was much lower than that of the beautiful woman beside her, with only the eighth level of Qi Refining, she seemed to be more difficult to get along with, and her temperament was extremely cold.

"Shh!"

Gu Yuan opened the formation, and the beautiful woman and the girl turned into flowing light and landed in the stone cave in an instant.

……

"Congratulations to Junior Brother Gu. You have successfully built the foundation. Your life span will increase by three hundred years. A mere gift is not disrespectful."

The beautiful woman surnamed Shen smiled slightly at Gu Yuan, and then handed a jade bottle containing "Qing Yuan Dan" to Gu Yuan.

Qingyuan Pill, a foundation-building elixir, can slightly increase the speed of cultivation by taking it.

"Ning Xue, I haven't met Master Gu yet, and the path of cultivation has fallen on your Master Gu!"

Then the beautiful woman drank softly and shouted to the girl beside her.

The girl was very bold. She glanced at Gu Yuan with a burning gaze before saluting and shouting: "Jiang Ningxue, pay your respects to Master Gu!"

His voice was as cold as snow, just like his temperament.     “No need to be polite!”

Gu Yuan waved his sleeves and robe and helped the woman up.

It's just that this woman's strange "cold feeling" gave him a strange feeling, but it was hard to describe.

"Junior Brother Gu, Junior Sister Bian has already conveyed the message to me, so I won't go around in circles anymore."

"It is natural to obtain spiritual energy and then serve your junior brother. However, my disciple has different talents. He is my closed disciple and the hope of my Ruyi Peak. It is really not suitable to serve my junior brother. How about this? I, Ruyi Peak, will create another one." He is a monk in the early stage of foundation building and has served his junior brother for sixty years."

"As for the position of true successor, I can also guarantee that Ning Xue will definitely stay away from any fight between the junior brothers. How about that?"

The beautiful woman surnamed Shen negotiated with Gu Yuan straight to the point.

Another foundation builder will serve for sixty years?
  Gu Yuan pondered slightly.

But just as he was thinking, Jiang Ningxue suddenly said: "Master, there is no need to trouble others, I am willing to serve Uncle Gu!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was startled.

"Ning Xue, this matter is no child's play!"

The beautiful woman surnamed Shen frowned and scolded in a low voice.

To serve Gu Yuan, he must go to conquer the Red Moon River. She had already inquired about it. This Gu Yuan was not a gentle person, and he would have to drive all the foundation builders to dangerous places.

The Taiyin body is extremely talented. As long as she does not die, she will be able to practice to the perfection of foundation building. The probability of forming elixirs is also slightly higher than that of other monks. It is the inheritance seed of her Ruyi Peak. How can she serve under other people's disciples?

"Master, if a jade is not polished, it will become useless!"

But Jiang Ningxue was resolute and answered seriously.

"Sitting in the mountains, how can it be compared to those who fight through life and death? Senior Sister Si is proof of that!"

"This disciple doesn't want to practice hard!"

With that said, Jiang Ningxue bowed deeply to the beautiful woman surnamed Shen.

"We, Ruyifeng, will also participate in the conquest of Chiyue Dachuan. Wouldn't it be better for you to go with your senior sister Si?"

The beautiful woman still refused to let go.

"Master, there are currently only a few dozen foundation-building monks in the Taoist Academy, and there are only seven foundation-building monks in my Ruyi Peak. Even if they conquer the Red Moon River, it is impossible for all of them to come out. In truth, , Uncle Gu’s mountain is already bigger than my Ruyi Peak, so conquering the Red Moon River and following Uncle Gu may be the best choice..."

Jiang Ningxue has a cold temperament, and her cultivation level is no more than the eighth level of Qi Refining, but she can think calmly. As soon as she said these words, the beautiful woman's expression suddenly froze.

But if you think about it, it's true.

Gu Yuan obtained one spiritual energy from the Flowing Cloud Banquet, and eight spiritual energy from the Ancient Mountain Secret Realm, for a total of nine.

This also means that there will be nine foundation-building combat powers.

This number really surpasses Ruyi Peak.

Unless the ancestor is invited, otherwise...

But the ancestor has not appeared for many years, and she does not even know whether the ancestor is alive or dead.

The Seven Meridians and Five Aristocratic families may appear to be beautiful, but they also have their own sufferings inside.

Except for Tiangang Peak, Qingyan Peak, Yuhu Peak, Bian Family, and Su Family, the other peaks in the Taoist Academy have not seen their ancestors for many years. Even in the Taoist Academy, it has been advertised that there are only five Master Jindan.

Without the golden elixir, the Jimai family relied on numerous foundations and the foundation of the peak to maintain its lintel. But now think about it, Gu Yuanming's power is no less than that of Jimai Jifeng?
  Even if they are all new foundation builders, if they join forces and rely on the large formation, there is really nothing they can do against them.

As soon as she thought about it, she didn't stop her, she just sighed to Gu Yuan: "Junior brother, since my disciple thinks so highly of you, I won't stop you anymore. I will leave everything to you. I hope Haosheng will take care of me as a disciple. Ruyi Peak will surely succeed." There will be great rewards.”

But Gu Yuan remained silent.

The family knows their own affairs.

He used up three strands of spiritual energy alone. How could there be so much spiritual energy to be distributed? It could only be divided into six strands at most.

As for the qi-refining monks at the Liuyun Banquet, Gu Yuan had seen them all, and their methods were average. The reason why Gu Yuan wanted these people to serve was just to build momentum, to help others, and to help him become the true successor.

To put it bluntly, how could someone with truly extraordinary talents and a profound background of chance be driven by a spiritual energy?

But if Jiang Ningxue was accepted, the situation might be different.

The Taiyin body is extremely talented and may bring you surprises.

I just don’t know... does this woman have other plans for serving under him? Does Ruyifeng really have no spiritual energy channels?
  But Gu Yuan thought for a moment and finally made up his mind.

If you look forward and backward in everything, you will only lose your morale.

He can still suppress a mere Taoist body!

As soon as he thought about this, he immediately took out a piece of spiritual energy from his sleeve.

"Ugh!"

The beautiful woman sighed, then took out a jade box and handed it to Gu Yuan.

After the two agreed, the beautiful woman didn't stay for a long time and took Jiang Ningxue and turned into a stream of light and left.

Bian Chuyao congratulated Gu Yuan and then left quietly.

After Gu Yuan bid farewell to the two of them, he also started to spread the word and start a spirit competition. For a moment, all the monks at the ninth level of Qi Refining were shocked, especially the disciples from the Han sect, and they rushed towards Diyan Island.

……

……

"This way, this way, those who know how to refine weapons come here!"

"The alchemy is here, the alchemy is here!"

"Can you take care of Lingdao's medicinal fields? This way!"

"Those who contribute treasures come here and here?"

"If there is news about secret treasures, come here, come here."

"Are you a disciple of an aristocratic family? Which sect? Who recommended you? How many years are you willing to serve?"

On Diyan Island, the atmosphere was lively. Many Bu and Bei Nu wearing the robes of "Bian" and "Feng" were commanding many monks on the island, filling in the jade book, standing in rows, and registering individually.

Except for Ruyi Peak and Biluo Peak, which were introduced and the share of spiritual energy was determined privately, Gu Yuan decided to compete with each other for the rest of the spiritual energy.

Innate talent, treasures, secrets, and various skills must be outstanding. Otherwise, how can we obtain spiritual energy from ourselves?
  For a time, the entire Diyan Island was in full swing. Almost all Taoist disciples who were good at practicing various arts came to the event one after another. The scale of the event was even greater than that of the previous event.

Gu Yuan had already asked the servants of Bian and Feng to carry out the complicated process. At this moment, he was meeting someone in the cave.

"Disciple Ma Wu, meet Uncle Gu!"

Ma Wu, dressed in a nine-leaf Taoist robe, bowed to the ground with a respectful attitude.

"No need to be polite, Master Nephew Ma is here, what's the matter?"

Gu Yuan waved his sleeves, helped the man up, and asked with a chuckle.

"Disciple has a secret realm to offer, and is willing to exchange it for a spiritual energy of heaven and earth!"
