These children, who are ten thousand years old, had a bad life. They did not catch up with the Gu family when it was glorious, but they supported the Gu family when the Gu family was at its lowest.
When the younger generation and the older generation grow up, it’s time for them to enjoy their blessings.
After learning about the family's current situation, Gu Xuanzhan went to the family medicine garden, took the gray auspicious grass and the elixir needed to refine the foundation-building pill, and quietly left Bifeng Mountain.
Except for Gu Wanchang, no one knew that Gu Xuanzhan had left seclusion, and no one knew that Gu Xuanzhan was no longer on Bifeng Mountain at this time.
The Gu family has previously found out where Taoist Jiuxiao lives. He lives in a place called Baohe Peak in the mountains to the west of the Yuntian Mountains. Baohe Peak has a small section of third-level high-grade spiritual veins, which is enough for Taoist Jiuxiao's daily practice.
Taoist Jiuxiao is a kind-hearted person. In the past, monks brought spiritual stones to ask for elixirs, and he would usually happily agree. However, Taoist Jiuxiao has been trapped on the ninth floor of Zifu for some years. Now he has not long left, and he has been unable to go any further.
, and gradually felt discouraged and frustrated.
Over the past decade or so, we have gradually closed our doors and closed our doors to welcome guests.
It is not so easy for ordinary casual cultivators to find him to make elixirs.
On this day, Taoist Jiuxiao was sitting in front of his alchemy furnace. The reason why he was not practicing was because his cultivation had reached a bottleneck and he could not make any progress.
He only has less than twenty years left to live. If he can't find a life-extending elixir or breaks through to the golden elixir realm, he can only wait quietly for his death.
He asked many friends and connections to search for life-extending spiritual objects, but so far no good news has come.
Almost half of Qingzhou knew that Taoist Jiuxiao was looking for a life-extending elixir or a chance to break through the golden elixir, but no force extended an olive branch to him.
After all, these two things are too rare. Ordinary family sects have already digested these things internally, so they are not willing to give them to outsiders.
Taoist Jiuxiao sighed at his old friend. Maybe he should take advantage of the last twenty years to recruit a disciple or something, so that he would not have no one to pass on his alchemy skills.
Just when he was thinking about accepting a disciple, the formation of the cave was suddenly touched.
Taoist Jiuxiao frowned, and then heard Gu Xuanzhan's voice
"I'm from Gu Xuanzhan of the Gu family in the Jiuqi Mountains. I've heard for a long time that fellow Taoist Jiuxiao is good at alchemy, so I came here to visit you today. I hope that fellow Taoist Jiuxiao won't hesitate to meet you."
The Gu family in Jiuqi Mountains?
Taoist Jiuxiao thought for a while, and he was still somewhat impressed by the Gu family.
I heard that their family has recently produced a new master of the Zifu period. It must be Gu Xuanzhan! A newly promoted Zifu period is most likely here to seek elixirs that can improve their cultivation.
Taoist Jiuxiao didn't really want to see Gu Xuanzhan at first, but after thinking about it, he was a member of the Zifu family after all, so he would sell him two bottles of pills to give him peace of mind.
Gu Xuanzhan, who was outside the cave, waited for a while before he saw a hole opened in the formation guarding the cave. He hesitated for a moment and then entered the formation.
When Gu Xuanzhan entered the cave, he did not see Taoist Jiuxiao, only a humanoid puppet.
"Your distinguished guest has come from afar, so please follow this puppet of me to the living room to sit down! I will be able to make this furnace of elixir in no time. Please wait a moment, fellow Taoist."
Gu Xuanzhan followed the puppet without changing his expression and walked to a stone room. There were tables and chairs in the stone room, which seemed to be a place for receiving guests.
He sat on the chair and began to close his eyes and meditate.
In another stone room, Taoist Jiuxiao sighed again at his empty alchemy furnace. He patted his robe and walked slowly towards the living room.
Seeing Taoist Jiuxiao coming, Gu Xuanzhan stood up and held his hands
"I'm Gu Xuanzhan. I've heard about Taoist friend for a long time, and I'm so lucky to meet you today."
Taoist Jiuxiao also bowed his hand. His face was gray, not at all like Gu Xuanzhan's rosy face. It was obvious that he had a long life span.
"I'm being negligent, I hope fellow Taoist fellows won't be offended."
Seeing Taoist Jiuxiao like this, Gu Xuanzhan was not angry. It was somewhat difficult for a person with a short lifespan to think about others.
"My fellow Taoist has come all the way from afar, and I don't know what's going on?"
Taoist Jiuxiao sat on the main seat, asked the puppet to pour tea for them, and asked directly, obviously too lazy to talk politely to Gu Xuanzhan.
"I would like to ask fellow Taoist to help me refine the foundation-building pill. The reward has been prepared. Fellow Taoist, please take a look."
After Gu Xuanzhan finished speaking, he took out a jade box sealed with a talisman.
Jiuxiao Taoist frowned when he heard about the Foundation Establishment Pill. He originally thought that Gu Xuanzhan was here to ask for pills that could improve his cultivation. He still had a lot of such pills in storage and could trade them directly.
But he didn't have the Foundation Establishment Pill in stock, and refining the Foundation Establishment Pill took a long time and was difficult to refine. Although he knew how to refine it, he didn't want to put in the effort to refine it.
He wanted to refuse, but when he saw that Gu Xuanzhan had even paid him, he decided to take a look at the reward before deciding whether to do the deal.
"Fellow Taoist, please take a look."
Gu Xuanzhan unveiled the magic talisman and opened the jade box, revealing the elixir in the jade box.
Taoist Jiuxiao stood up immediately!
"This is Huijicao!"
Hui Ji Cao is a third-level top-grade elixir. It has a short plant, gray leaves, luxuriant roots, small flowers, and a golden color. Taking it raw can extend your life by fifty years. If you refine it into a life-extending pill, it can extend your life by a hundred years.
Taoist Jiuxiao's excited face turned bright red. His eyes were as eager as a drunkard seeing a peerless wine or a pervert seeing a peerless beauty. He wanted to pounce on her immediately to satisfy his lust.
When Gu Xuanzhan saw Taoist Jiuxiao's expression, he knew he had come to the right place this time.
"I've made this deal!
Fellow Taoist, please quickly take out the elixir for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. It only takes half a month... No! In just ten days, I can refine at least four Foundation Establishment Pills for you, fellow Taoist!
Or if you need any other elixirs, just ask, I don’t have any other elixirs here, but there are still a lot of various elixirs!”
Taoist Jiuxiao said, his urgency was palpable.
At least four foundation-building pills can be refined!
Gu Xuanzhan was taken aback.
It seems that Taoist Jiuxiao has refined the Foundation Establishment Pill before, otherwise he would not have said this.
This is naturally a good thing for the Gu family.
"Fellow Taoist Jiuxiao, there is no need to be in such a hurry. As long as the foundation-building pill can be successfully refined, this gray auspicious grass will definitely belong to fellow Taoist.
Originally, I only planned to ask for a few foundation-building pills during this trip, but since Fellow Daoist Jiuxiao said so, I’ll trouble Fellow Daoist Jiuxiao to refine two more bottles of pills and third-level healing pills that can improve Zifu’s cultivation!
Of course, these elixirs will still be paid with spiritual stones to fellow Taoists.
That’s all for the other elixirs, but the foundation-building elixir is really important to me, and I hope fellow Daoist Jiuxiao will pay more attention to it.”
Gu Xuanzhan was afraid that Taoist Jiuxiao was eager to get the Gray Lucky Grass and made a hasty elixir, which led to an error in refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Even if one less Foundation Building Pill is refined, it will be an immeasurable loss to the Gu family.
