"It's just a coincidence. If nothing happens, we'll leave first." Gu Zheng replied politely. He was still worried about the colorful fish. Now he had to find a place to rest quickly before the colorful fish died completely.
Before, try it.
"Fellow Taoist monks, please stay. It looks like you are worried about your pets?" The woman saw them wanting to leave and hurriedly called out to them.
It's easy to guess what they were thinking. The little girl's eyes were always fixed on it, and Gu Zheng's eyes also glanced at it from time to time. Coupled with the fish's current state, he still didn't understand the other party's worries.
"I happen to have some ideas about these things, so you might as well let me show them to you."
Hearing this, Gu Zheng, who had just turned around, turned around again, looked at the other party's kind eyes, and looked at Xiang Xiang beside him.
"Really? Can you cure it?" Xiangxiang said in disbelief. This is no ordinary fish. I believe the other party can also see it.
"Although I can't guarantee 100%, I can definitely prevent her from dying." The woman looked at Xiangxiang and said softly.
"Brother Gu." Xiangxiang looked at Gu Zheng. He also wanted to raise the colorful fish well. Even if it was better, it would be much better than this state. At least the success rate would be improved.
"Then it will trouble the two fellow Taoists." Gu Zheng thought about the same thing as Xiangxiang. Since the other party knew that Mr. Mo, he would not be embarrassed in comparison. Of course, the name of the Star Alliance also played a part.
"Don't worry, the person you saved us is also a friend of our Star Alliance. My name is Ji Cai, and my husband is Sun Cheng." Ji Cai and his wife smiled at each other and introduced themselves.
"Gu Zheng, this is my sister Xiangxiang." Gu Zheng also introduced Xiangxiang to them.
"Hello, brother and sister." Xiangxiang called sweetly.
"You are so sweet. Come on, give your little pets to sister, I will take care of them." Ji Cai said softly, looking at Xiangxiang's eyes full of tenderness, who wouldn't like such a cute and talkative little girl.
A transparent crystal ball appeared in Ji Cai's hand, and the milky white liquid filled half of the box. Ji Cai put the colored fish handed over by Xiang Xiang into it, and a colored fish whose body proportions were many times smaller entered.
"There's nothing wrong with this box, right? My fish is a little weird. Some things can't trap it, and it can't escape all day long. We have something to do this time, so we can't lose it again. It's the one that brought this sea monster." Gu Zheng followed suit.
He considers this fish his pet.
"Friend Gu Taoist, don't worry. When it comes to experience with small animals, my wife has the most experience. There are many naughty pets in our home. As long as the other party's cultivation level does not exceed hers, they will definitely not be able to escape." Sun Cheng was standing aside.
added.
Ji Cai scattered some unknown spices in her hands and blended them in. The light on the colorful fish was obviously much stronger, the body color was much better, and even the body began to sway in the strange water.
"This is all we can do now. Many things are at home. You two will go to Kirishima with me. If you wait for a while, you will naturally adjust them to the best condition." Ji Cai put away the crystal box and faced Gu
Let them talk.
"Then I'll excuse you two, let's go." Gu Zheng said politely, wanting to leave here with them.
"But you don't want the corpse at the bottom?" Sun Cheng pointed to the octopus corpse below.
"No, is there something missing?" Gu Zheng asked puzzledly. The corpse of the monster was of no use to her at all.
"This sea beast is full of treasures, but you didn't take out its inner elixir. It's such a waste." Sun Cheng said in surprise when he saw that the other person's expression didn't look like he was cheating.
"I can't use it. If you need it, please don't be polite." Gu Zheng shook his head and said to them.
"Really? Then we are really welcome." Ji Cai's eyes shone slightly. This is a great wealth, especially the inner elixir, which is even more valuable.
After watching Gu Zheng nod, Ji Cai and his wife also let go of their reserve and fell down directly.
Ji Cai rushed to the octopus's eye, took out a pair of silver hooks, and stretched it in from the position of the one eye. An inner elixir that was only the size of an ordinary person's head was hooked out from it, and a crystal white light shrouded it.
It's good-looking.
Sun Cheng, on the other hand, began to scratch the octopus's skin, break it down into pieces, and collect them. After a moment of burning incense, the two of them came back with smiles on their faces, and there were only some fragments left on the sea surface, as well as those polluted ones.
Most of the sea water was collected by the two of them.
"Despite our reputation around here, we are actually not that rich. After all, most of our members are independents. Although we have tried to expand a bit over the years, overall it is still not enough." Let Gu Zheng wait.
It took so long, Sun Cheng explained embarrassedly.
The landlords didn't have enough food left, let alone them. No wonder they couldn't help but search for it.
The four people quickly headed in the direction of Kirishima.
On the way, Gu Zheng asked curiously about the Star Alliance. Sun Cheng was not surprised by this, because he had known that Gu Zheng was passing by from outside, so it was normal not to know.
The Star Alliance is actually a very young organization. Most of its members can be said to have become casual cultivators for various reasons. Although it is very remote here, because it is backed by the East China Sea, there are still many resources.
But how can an individual, alone or with a few people, compete with a group of people? Not to mention being bullied at every turn, there are countless uncivilized ferocious monsters in this dangerous East China Sea.
Knowing that an alliance leader with excellent combat power appeared, he founded this star alliance with the intention of reducing disputes and protecting some weak individuals. In hundreds of thousands of years, it has built a great reputation here.
Until now, it has gradually gained a lot of fame, but because of the philosophy of the factory, the number of Star Alliance members is not large, but everyone is an elite, and they are not unknown people.
During this period, some people left and some joined. After all, no matter how good this place is, the layout is too small. Many people left here and set off towards the interior of the prehistoric world, looking for a way to become stronger.
But the alliance leader is always here, and she is the only one who can overwhelm everyone and maintain Kirishima's most important source of stability.
Of course, doing so also caused dissatisfaction from many people, but Kirishima had already risen at that time, and with the staff working together at that time, there would only be some petty fights in the end.
When talking about the alliance leader, the two of them looked adoring. To be honest, they were rescued by the alliance leader by chance, so they were willing to serve the Star Alliance for tens of thousands of years. Anyway, it was not a long time for them to repay the alliance leader.
of kindness.
On the other hand, they were also very curious about Gu Zheng, and kept asking about Gu Zheng's origins, because Gu Zheng really didn't care about those things. In his eyes, he just threw them away like garbage on the roadside.
This attitude made the two of them think that Gu Zheng must be from a big family, especially with a little sister like himself. Even though Gu Zheng said that he was also a Sanren and just traveled out, they didn't believe it at all.
After all, they all conceal their cultivation, and it is impossible to tell their specific strength. One is unfathomable, and the other is only at the third level of the human world. You can tell at a glance that they are disguised.
The two sides chatted together and got to know Gu Zheng a lot. Half a month later, they stopped on the sea. In front of them was a white mist that covered hundreds of kilometers in radius, and Kirishima was hidden in it.
I saw Sun Cheng taking out the jade token that he had shown Gu Zheng before, and shooting a white light into the thick fog in front of him. The white light passed by, and a wide route appeared in the thick fog.
The four people directly followed the opened route and boarded Kirishima.
The entire Kirishima area is not small, but in fact there is only a plain area close to here that is inhabited. However, when Gu Zheng passed by, he found that this place is also quite prosperous. The people who are hurrying on the street here have the highest level of cultivation.
It's not below level five, but it's just soy sauce here.
Most of them are at the level of Heavenly Immortal and above. As for people in the Golden Immortal stage, Sun Cheng said that except for the alliance leader, he has never seen them before, because the resources here are too unattractive for the Golden Immortal stage.
The San people who met Sun Cheng and his wife along the way would greet them. It seemed that they were very popular.
After arriving on the island, the four of them slowed down. Along the way, Sun Cheng introduced everything here to Gu Zheng. His tone was full of pride. It seemed that he really regarded this place as his home.
Even though there are not a lot of people here, everything that should be there is available. Many industries are established by the Covenant themselves, and nearby individual people will come here to trade and sell their excess supplies.
Therefore, the houses here are not neatly arranged, but scattered here and there. In the open space in the middle, there are many individual people directly displaying or purchasing items.
"To say that the environment here is definitely not the best place, the reason why this is the headquarters of the Star Alliance is because it is not far away from the Yaoguang Secret Realm." After Sun Cheng eloquently praised his island, he blinked.
They talked about the location of the island.
After saying this, he saw Gu Zheng's eyes widening a lot, knowing that the other party would definitely not know this, Sun Cheng then smiled proudly and continued:
"In the past, the headquarters of the Star Alliance was not here, but in another place. It was full of aura. It seemed that it was only qualified. However, the mysterious appearance of the Yaoguang Secret Realm finally moved it here."
"Everyone knows about this, and I don't think Brother Gu will care about our little fight." Ji Cai joked, and their relationship took another step forward along the way.
"No, I think the Star Alliance is very good. At least it is much better than those greedy ones. At least it truly cares about everyone." Gu Zheng said this from the bottom of his heart.
She really wanted to meet the leader of the alliance, and she had brought up such an organization by herself. Although this was a remote place, it was not easy for her alone.
If this kind of strength were in a wealthy place, it would have been swallowed up long ago and not even the dregs would be left. It can only appear in such a relatively poor place.
While rushing on the road, Gu Zheng had already learned that for countless years, no immortal here had broken through to the Golden Immortal stage. Even the proud emperor, lacking spiritual energy and few resources, could only leave here sadly.
Look for opportunities elsewhere.
"Brother Gu, what you said is the same as ours, otherwise we wouldn't stay, we would just do our best." Sun Cheng said with emotion.
As he spoke, he looked at his wife tenderly, just letting her suffer for him. Ji Cai held Sun Cheng's hand with her backhand. The two looked at each other, each feeling the love and affection in the other's heart.
"Brother Gu, is this what adults call love?" Xiangxiang shook Gu Zheng's hand and said gently, while looking at Sun Cheng and his wife with very curious eyes.
"Well, you'll understand when you grow up." Gu Zheng didn't know how to explain it to her, so he simply pushed it away.
"Oh." Xiangxiang nodded in understanding, but still stared at them.
"I almost forgot what happened just now." Xiangxiang's childish voice broke the harmony between Sun Cheng and his wife, and Sun Cheng said awkwardly.
"The Secret Realm of Yaoguang actually appeared tens of thousands of years ago. Every time it appeared, thousands of rays of light would shoot out from the entrance, for fear that others would not be able to see it. This is also the origin of the name." Sun Cheng quickly continued the topic, "And there is growth underneath.
There are many rare medicinal materials, enough to drive people around here crazy."
"The secret realm opens about two thousand years ago, and lasts only half a year. The location is different every time you enter. The closer you go to the mountain in the middle, the more good things you can get, but there are also various kinds of things inside.
The strength of different beasts basically fluctuates among the immortals, but they are only in small numbers."
"What's even more puzzling is that if you don't come out in time within half a year, then the next time you go in, you won't be able to see the other person and will disappear inexplicably. After several times in succession, dozens of greedy people will disappear.
, basically no one dares to stay there anymore." Sun Cheng shook his head and said in confusion, in fact, so far, they have only gone in once.
"But you are really lucky. There are only a few years left before the next opening. With your strength, you will definitely be able to obtain many rare things. You must know that currently, I have never heard of anyone who can reach the foot of the mountain. This
I heard for the first time that everyone has gathered one after another to go there as a group to see what is on top. I heard that there are exciting treasures on top."
Speaking of this, Sun Cheng looked yearning. He wondered if there would be an opportunity for him to break through to Jinxian. You must know that they have been stuck here for a long time. This is also the time they have only stayed here for ten thousand years. They
You also have to travel to other places to find your own luck.
Soon, with the help of Sun Cheng and Ji Cai, Gu Zheng gained a deeper understanding of the secret realm. The other party felt that it would be a pity not to go there if he appeared here at this time.
You know, they got a lot of good things last time, which benefited them a lot.
The four people soon arrived at a place that looked obviously different. A layer of magic circle was erected on the outside of the house. It was too obvious. Two fifth-level guards stood at the gate. Behind them, it looked like there was only one layer of ordinary buildings.
The yard only covers a large area.
"Master Sun, Master Ji." The two people said while holding hands.
Sun Cheng nodded slightly and said to Gu Zheng, "This is a place we have on the outskirts. People who come out usually rest here temporarily."
He said and walked in with Gu Zheng. When he came back, he had already informed the great elder.
Gu Zheng was really amazed. After entering, it looked like an ordinary house, but it was many times bigger. Basically, all the people from the Star Alliance in front of the island were here. In the middle was the place where things were handled, and some
It is a simple place, surrounded by temporary residences, all of which are independent houses, forming a world of its own.
From time to time, you can see a few people with very strong auras rushing in and out, but some important places are deep in the island. This is just a place to maintain order here. Even so, the layout here is antique and small.
The leisurely villages with bridges, rivers and water make people feel a lot more peaceful.
After crossing several small bridges, Gu Zheng saw several figures standing at a doorway, as if waiting for his arrival.
"The one in the middle dressed in black is the great elder, and the people on both sides are some deacons." Ji Cai said in a low voice next to Gu Zheng.
Dressed in black, with Chinese character face, dignified appearance, and two curved eyebrows as thick as paint, he has an aura that is invincible to anyone. He is currently looking at himself with his hands behind his back.
"Great Elder, we have settled the matter." When he came to the big brother and the others, Sun Cheng hurriedly raised his hands and said.
"Thank you for your hard work. This is little brother Gu Zheng Gu, right? He is indeed a talented person, a hero comes from a young age." The great elder first praised, and then looked at Gu Zheng, his expression full of enthusiasm, which made Gu Zheng confused.
Not clear about the current situation.
"Great Elder, that's a compliment." Gu Zheng could only reply politely.
"He is Mr. Mo's father, Mo Wuhen, and he is also the number one person in the Star Alliance. He is very outstanding in terms of strength and governance ability." Ji Cai secretly transmitted the message again.
Only then did Gu Zheng understand why the Great Elder was here specifically. He thought he was waiting for Sun Cheng and the others, but it turned out that he was here specifically to wait for him. It seemed that Sun Cheng had informed the other party.
He saved the other party's son's life, which is why he is so enthusiastic about himself.
"Come on, let's go in and talk. When I heard about your arrival, I already informed that boy Mo Xing. He told me repeatedly that you would definitely come here and I had to inform him. It was just as he expected."
There was no airs at all and he greeted Gu Zheng to come in.
Arriving at the bottom of the hall, after everyone was seated, the great elder who was in charge thanked him again: "Fellow Taoist Ancient, thank you very much for your help. I have heard about the danger before. If you hadn't taken action, I'm afraid my son would have died."
Already dead there."
Before, when I felt the fluctuation of the Star Stone and went quickly, I happened to meet Mo Xing who was returning. After hearing this, I was also frightened. According to such a situation, when I found it, my son might have been dead.
, I don’t know how grateful I am to Gu Zheng.
"Great Elder, I would have to save myself in that situation. Besides, I believe Master Ling will be fine without me taking action." Gu Zheng said modestly.
"Haha." The great elder's calm face showed only a smile. Although the other party said this, he had already acknowledged the other party's kindness in his heart.
