I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 68: The spiritual stone is obtained and the jade rock makes a sound

"Senior Brother Gu, you are here!"

"Today is the last time to gather silk. After today, the Caiyun Spider will completely fall into hibernation and will no longer spin silk."

On Linghe Island, snowflakes were falling, and the girl was covered in silver. She stood in front of the cave and said to the tall young man.

Because the Spirit Beast Hall has to raise spirit beasts, the four seasons are the same as the outside world, and heavy snow falls on the island.

"Thank you, junior sister, for informing me."

Gu Yuan chuckled softly.

"I really envy my senior brother. He has a high level and can complete the task of collecting spider silk. He can earn twenty spiritual stones every half month. In the past two months, he should have earned sixty spiritual stones!"

"Unlike me, I can only cut grass for the Cangyun Spirit Crane and feed the Fire Crow Bird with spiritual water. Each of me can only earn two or three spiritual stones. In the past two months, I have only earned a dozen spiritual stones. "

“It’s so irritating that people are so different from each other!”

The girl in colorful clothes crossed her fingers to make a calculation, and then couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing this, Gu Yuan could only shake his head and chuckle.

If the girl knew that she was collecting spider silk not for the spirit stones, but for the spirit stone veins behind the Water Curtain Cave, she might make the other party jealous to death.

However, Gu Yuan naturally would not tell her about this, but he had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

"Working...it's impossible to climb the immortal path in this life."

"The Book of Tribulation Cultivation is right. Practice can be stable, don't rush for success, but when it comes to earning spiritual stones, you still need to make more money, and you can't work blindly..."

"Hey, Senior Brother Gu, do you want a Taoist companion?!"

At this moment, the girl in colorful clothes suddenly turned her head and blinked at Gu Yuan.

"you?"

The two were already familiar with each other and were not so unfamiliar. Gu Yuan glanced at the girl, and then couldn't help but chuckle.

Although the girl is pretty and charming, with white and tender skin, in the world of spiritual practice, her appearance is only average, not to mention... she has an average figure.

It couldn't arouse Gu Yuan's interest at all.

"It's not me!"

The girl wrinkled her nose, a little dissatisfied, but still grabbed Gu Yuan's sleeve and whispered, "It's Yun Hanxiu, Senior Sister Yun!"

"Although Senior Sister Yun also comes from a poor family, she is very talented. She is only in her early twenties this year and has already reached the seventh level of Qi training, just like Senior Brother You!"

"And she can also make alchemy. A foundation-building director of the Alchemy Academy seems to have taken a liking to Senior Sister. He is planning to accept Senior Sister Yun as his disciple next time he comes out of seclusion!"

"How about it, Senior Brother Gu, do you want to give it a try? I have a good relationship with Senior Sister Yun, and I can help you match up!"

The girl whispered seductively.

"How dare you marry a wife if you don't succeed on the road?!"

Gu Yuan just shook his head.

"Senior Brother, your spirit is so high. However, through the ages, how many people have been able to achieve the Great Dao, but in the end, they did not reproduce? Many aristocratic families in the Taoist Academy have evolved in this way."

"Senior Sister Yun is not in high demand right now. When she becomes a disciple, you may not be able to catch up with Senior Brother Gu!"

"Don't miss this opportunity!"

The girl looked like "Hurry up and hurry up".

But Gu Yuan patted her on the head: "Okay, go cut the grass for the crane, and we'll feed the flamingos later!"

As soon as she heard about cutting the grass to feed the birds, the girl's face suddenly fell. She hummed and threw off Gu Yuan's sleeves, and left reluctantly.

Looking at the girl's leaving figure, Gu Yuan sighed.

Marry a wife, have children, and reproduce. I hope you don’t have that day!

Gu Yuan sighed in his heart, then turned around and went to the cave, collected spider silk twice, then waited until there was no one around, and finally turned to the Water Curtain Cave.

……

……

"Squeak!"

"Okay, okay, drink!"

Behind the waterfall in Water Curtain Cave, Gu Yuan and the Double-Eyed Golden-backed Monkey were eating spiritual fruits, drinking and chatting, very happy. Gu Yuan is indeed happy.

The reason why he ran to Linghe Island so diligently was to complete the task of collecting spider silk. Once a Yuanfa Hall mission is accepted, it must be completed unless there is something important.

The second thing is, of course, for the "monkey wine" and "baiweiguo" which are delicious and can improve cultivation.

These spiritual wines and spiritual fruits are valuable to the outside world, but after Gu Yuan reached a deal with the old ape, the Golden-backed Ape clan treated him with sincerity and would entertain him with a banquet every time he came.

Having food and drink can improve your cultivation, so why not do it?

It is better than practicing hard in Qianyuan Cave.

"Squeak!"

While one person and one ape were eating, drinking and enjoying themselves, deep in the cave, a tawny spiritual ape trotted over, pointed to the depths of the cave, and screamed.

"Huh? Have all the spiritual minerals been collected?"

In these days, Gu Yuan also understood some ape language, and coupled with the movements of the spiritual ape's hands, he quickly guessed the other party's meaning.

"In that case, let's go and have a look!"

The old white ape curled up beside him also opened his eyes and said to Gu Yuan.

Then the Double-Eyed Golden-backed Ape picked up the old white ape on his back, and together with Gu Yuan, came to the depths of the cave.

A huge hole has been dug out of the entire cliff, which is full of pits and devastation.

On the ground, a large number of spiritual stones were piled together, exuding a rich luster.

"Well...the spiritual stones are all here. There are fewer than expected. They can only be cut into 1,400 pieces."

Looking at the spiritual stones on the ground, the old ape couldn't help but sigh.

It was originally predicted that a total of 3,000 spirit stones could be mined from the spirit mine. However, counting the 1,400 spirit stones currently on the ground and some previously divided loot, only a total of 2,800 spirit stones were mined.

This number is slightly less than expected.

"This is the end of the matter, and that's all it can do!"

Gu Yuan didn't care. He was very satisfied with getting fifteen hundred pieces.

"Okay, then please ask the Immortal Chief to take away one thousand pieces. Seven hundred pieces are divided, one hundred pieces are the compensation agreed before, and there are two hundred pieces left, which are regarded as deposits for our clan. I hope the Little Immortal Chief can get it soon. Watch out for earthly demons and spirits.”

The old ape waved his hand, and the spirit stone on the ground was divided into two halves, one large and one small.

"Aren't you afraid that I won't do anything if I take the spirit stone?"

Gu Yuan looked at the spirit stones on the ground and suddenly smiled.

"Short-sighted people may do it, but those who are ambitious will never!"

The old ape smiled calmly.

Even if you are trapped on Linghe Island, the favor of an earth demon is definitely worth a lot of money.

"Haha, since Mr. Yuan trusts you so much, then I won't be polite!"

Gu Yuan laughed loudly, and then with a wave of his sleeves, the spiritual stones on the ground were rolled into the storage bag.

One person and one ape looked at each other, and then they all laughed loudly.

"clang!"

"clang!"

"clang!"

But at this moment, the heavy bells resounded endlessly, echoing throughout the Qingfeng Taoist Temple.

When the old ape heard the sound, his expression suddenly changed.

"Golden Bell and Jade Pan? Is the Taoist Academy going to conquer again?"

"The little immortal shouldn't have left his name in the red gold jade book, right?"

The old white ape looked at Gu Yuan worriedly.

"It doesn't matter, I have my own way."

But Gu Yuan just put his hands behind his back and smiled lightly.
