I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 14 Are you questioning Jin Dan?
  But in an instant, he threw away his inner thoughts.

Elder Fox is as cold as an immortal, how is that possible!
  But looking at Gu Yuan's vigorous attitude, the balance in his heart began to waver again.

He asked people to investigate for a long time, but he could not figure out the connection between Gu Yuan and Elder Hu. He only knew that three days before Gu Yuan came to the mountain, Elder Hu suddenly announced that he would go into seclusion and not see outsiders.

Calculating the time, it happened to be the day when Gu Yuan got the token.

Obviously, there must be a causal connection between the two, but I don’t know what it will be?
  Therefore, he never dared to neglect Gu Yuan. If Elder Hu came out and accepted him as his disciple, then he would have a great blessing.

However, the strength of the Lan family should not be underestimated. The pillar of the family is already in the late stage of foundation building, and is even better than his master.

The most important thing is that Lan Tianlu is a real direct descendant of the Lan family. There is no doubt that unlike Gu Yuan, his origin is unclear.

What's more, Lan Tianlu also gave himself a big gift, so it was really hard to make a choice.

"Senior Brother Qiu, who is this?"

Lan Tianlu, who was on the side, immediately narrowed his eyes when he saw Gu Yuan, knowing that this was the source of Qiu Mingshan's confusion.

At that moment, he first bowed to Gu Yuan, and then asked Qiu Mingshan.

"Come on, come on, Junior Brother Lan, let me introduce you to him. This is Master Jindan, the talented person that Elder Fox introduced to you, Junior Brother Gu Yuangu."

"Junior Brother Gu, this is Junior Brother Lan Tianlu from Ten Thousand Thunder Island, and Uncle Tianming of the Lan family. He is now at the late stage of foundation building."

Qiu Mingshan introduced the two of them with a smile.

Both of them were shocked.

Lan Tianlu didn't expect that a competitor who was related to Master Jindan would emerge.

No wonder Qiu Mingshan was indifferent to such a great gift, that's why.

This made him feel gloomy, but nothing showed on his face.

……

And Gu Yuan was also slightly surprised.

He turned out to be a descendant of a family in the late stage of foundation building. He didn't know if he already knew the inside story about the chance of the cave.

If you find out and take what they want, will you be resented?

But when he thought of the opportunity that was almost pure silver, Gu Yuan shook off the uneasiness in his heart.

Sooner or later, the matter between him and Master Jindan will be revealed. Then, without the care of Jindan, he will be nothing more than an ordinary disciple.

Now while the golden elixir's halo is still there, we must try our best to seize opportunities and strengthen ourselves.

If you stop moving forward because of fear of resentment, you will be left empty-handed.

Once he voluntarily gave up, the Lan family appreciated it now, but after knowing that he had no golden elixir to take care of him, he would immediately put aside the contact with him, feeling that everything was what the Lan family deserved.

Ordinary people make way for the rich. The rich will only feel that they deserve it and forget about it afterwards.

Only if someone richer than him gives him a way, he will be grateful.

Gu Yuan was well aware of the relationship, so he didn't show any expression on his face. He remained calm and calm, as if he didn't take the Lan family into consideration at all.

……

When Lan Tianlu heard the word "Golden Pill", his heart suddenly tightened, but he reacted quickly and asked immediately:

"Is Senior Brother Gu also here for the spiritual water?"

"Senior Brother Gu, with such an opportunity, the Master should have made some arrangements, right?"

There are two meanings in his words. The first is to test whether Gu Yuan knows the real opportunity in the cave.

After all, "Blue Crane Spiritual Water" is just a cover, the real treasure is even worse than it.

The second is to test the relationship between Gu Yuan and Master Jindan. If the Master likes the person, he will definitely arrange everything. Qiu Mingshan must have been instructed long ago and will not be so entangled.

He had a vague feeling in his heart that the connection between Gu Yuan and the Master was not very close.

Qiu Mingshan probably felt this, so he was wavering. After all, Gu Yuan only had a body with five orifices.

As soon as Lan Tianlu said these words, Qiu Mingshan immediately turned to look at Gu Yuan.

Both of them valued Gu Yuan's next answer.

But Gu Yuan just smiled faintly, and there seemed to be a little coldness in his eyes.

His magic weapon for winning today is just one word, pretend!

The more ruthless you pretend to be, the less likely your opponent will dare to act rashly.

"Junior Brother Lan is questioning the Master's thoughts?"

Gu Yuan turned his head, grinned, and stared at Lan Tianlu.

"Junior brother don't dare!"

Lan Tianlu quickly denied it.

What a joke, who dares to question Jin Dan. Even if I dared, it would be impossible to say it.

"It's okay if it's not!"

"How can the Master's intentions be guessed at will?"

"Not even the Lan family!"

Gu Yuan waved his sleeves and looked towards the blue sky with deep eyes. There seemed to be a coldness in his eyes, as if there was the anger of Jin Dan contained in them.

Lan Tianlu had a ghost in his heart, but when Gu Yuan saw it, he was shocked and did not dare to look directly.

Could it be that Jin Dan saw through my plan?
  But how could this matter alarm Jin Dan? I haven't even told anyone!
  Gu Yuan's "pretending" did not stop. He turned to look at Qiu Mingshan. Although his tone was not cold, it had an inexplicable meaning and his voice became deeper:

"Senior Brother Qiu, do you know where this jade dragon under my seat came from?"

Without waiting for Qiu Mingshan to answer, Gu Yuan answered by himself: "The Master saw me that day, and there was a foundation-building monk by his side. He gave me this magic weapon and asked me to rush to thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in three days to worship in the Taoist temple!"

As he said that, Gu Yuan's eyes became dark again, and he seemed to look at the storage bag in Lan Tianlu's hand inadvertently.

There seemed to be undetectable mockery in his eyes.

Qiu Mingshan was suddenly shocked.

Gu Yuan didn't say it clearly, but he understood it clearly.

Because of the encounter with Master Jindan, the foundation-building monks wanted to please me, give me gifts, and see me off.

But now, you, a qi refining monk, don’t want to give me gifts, but instead want to receive gifts and contain me?

What a joke!

Could it be that you are stronger than the foundation-building monks?

Gu Yuan obviously didn't say a word, but Qiu Mingshan simulated his voice in his mind.

He felt regretful immediately.

I was indeed blinded.

The Master was too far away from him, which made him ignore his majesty, but once he compared the foundation building and the practices of the monks above him, he really did something wrong.

Master Jindan introduces disciples from the Taoist academy. It would be fine if I didn't agree, but I have already agreed to him, but now I regret it. Wouldn't that be a slap in Master Jindan's face?
  Even if the relationship with the Master is not very deep, it would be fine if we don't treat him favorably. How can we treat him badly?
  "Junior Brother Lan, you ask too many questions!"

"Junior Brother Gu has already paid two spirit stones and signed up on my list. Naturally, he will be the first to choose the cave!"

"This is the Taoist law. No one can defy it, not even the foundation-building monks!"

Qiu Mingshan recalled the majesty of the golden elixir and immediately made up his mind.

It’s a joke, just two hundred spiritual stones have offended Jin Dan. If the master finds out, I’m afraid he will be expelled from the master!

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, his voice became serious, he raised the jade book and the ink pen, and wrote Gu Yuan's name on the list.

Even the two spirit stones were not collected.

"Junior Brother Gu, you can choose your cave now!"

Qiu Mingshan then took out a blank token and waited for Gu Yuan's selection.

When Gu Yuan heard this, there was no joy on his face, he just nodded lightly.

It seems like everything is as it should be.

Then, he stretched out his finger and pointed gently at the three caves at the top of the mountain.

Lan Tianlu's eyes widened and he looked at Gu Yuan intently.

When Gu Yuan moved out of the golden elixir, he knew that nothing could be done today.

But there is still hope hidden in his heart.

After all, he didn't tell anyone about this opportunity, not even the elders in his family.

Jin Dan probably doesn’t know either.

Gu Yuan might just come for the cave.

If Gu Yuan made the wrong choice, he still had a chance.

"Then, this..."

Seeing Gu Yuan's finger pointing at the center of the cave, Lan Tianlu's heart beat wildly and he was filled with joy.

Gu Yuan doesn’t know!
  I still have a chance.

"Forget it, let's stick to this one. It's close to Daze and has a better view!"

But at this moment, Gu Yuan suddenly moved his finger and pointed at a cave on the far side, near the bank of Daze River.

Lan Tianlu's expression suddenly froze.
