After making up his mind, Gu Changhuan searched the north side of the mountain as quickly as possible. After searching for several Yin-type elixirs, he returned to the location of the Yin Ling Cave.
Then he took out the small black flag and placed it on the Yin Ling point, and began to repair the small black flag.
Gu Changhuan is not worried about exposing his traces, so what if he is discovered by Zhang Yizhan?
He can always find an excuse to pass it off.
After all, this Lingshan Mountain is not the territory of the Zhang family, and this Yinling Point is not a magical medicine that will be gone after being used.
As long as Zhang Yizhan's brain is not broken, he will not conflict with him over these trivial matters.
Thinking of this, Gu Changhuan sat cross-legged, waiting for the black flag to be repaired slowly, while he began to restore his true energy.
Time passed slowly. More than two hours later, Gu Changhuan's true energy had almost recovered, but Zhang Yizhan was still nowhere to be seen. He couldn't help but feel a little strange:
Although the area of Lingshan here is not small, two hours have passed, so the search should be finished, right?
Moreover, Zhang Yizhan should have discovered the existence of Yinling Point and found the reason for the abnormal change of spiritual energy here. Next, he should concentrate on searching for spiritual objects.
Both are Lingshan, so the difference in the number of elixirs between the south and the north should not be too big, not to mention that Lingshan here was previously covered with poisonous miasma.
More than an hour passed before Gu Changhuan heard a familiar eagle call.
He looked up and found that hovering over the mountain was the spiritual eagle that Zhang Yizhan had sat on before.
Seeing this eagle, Gu Changhuan thought:
It seems that Zhang Yizhan has already searched the south side of Lingshan Mountain here, but I don't know what he gained.
However, no mineral veins were found. For him, even if he found a third-level spiritual object, there would be nothing to be happy about.
It didn't take long for Zhang Yizhan to appear in front of him, but Zhang Yizhan's face looked very bad at this time, and he was pale with a look of defeat.
It’s just that we didn’t find the mineral vein, so we shouldn’t be so disappointed, right?
Could it be that he was poisoned?
Gu Changhuan guessed in his heart.
Probably not?
The poison of the Cold Pattern Toad is very difficult to poison as long as you are careful to guard against it, and the ancestor of the Zhang family sent Zhang Yizhan, and he would give him a third-level detoxification pill no matter what. Otherwise, if you are not careful, the foundation building period will be gone.
So he asked:
"What's wrong with Daoyou Zhang?
Could it be that I am tired from searching for too long?
But Daoyou Zhang has been searching for so long, so he must have gained a lot, right?"
After listening to Gu Changhuan's words, Zhang Yizhan smiled reluctantly and said:
"Fortunately, the harvest is similar to that of fellow Taoist Gu."
Although Zhang Yizhan did not find any mineral veins, during his search, he discovered a Yin Spirit Point and five Yin-type elixirs, three of which were not found in the Zhang family.
If he brought these elixirs back to the Zhang family, he would have made a great contribution, but it could not be compared with the credit of discovering the mineral veins.
"I just don't know when Daoist Gu came here." Zhang Yizhan glanced at the small black flag on the Yinling Point and asked.
Gu Changhuan sighed and said:
"I'm not very lucky. I found a few elixir plants in the north. After picking them, I thought of going to see fellow Daoist Zhang to say goodbye, and then return to the Jiuqi Mountains;
Unexpectedly, I accidentally discovered this Yin Spirit Point just after arriving here, so I collected some pure Yin Qi so that I can plant Yin-type elixirs in the future."
Zhang Yizhan didn't find the mineral vein, and his mood became bad. He didn't want to say anything more to Gu Changhuan. He just wanted to return to the ancestor of the Zhang family as soon as possible, and then go into seclusion to continue transforming the spirit plate.
So he said casually:
"I see, Fellow Daoist Gu is really thoughtful.
I wonder how long Daoyou Gu will stay here?
I plan to return to Fangshi soon to pay my respects to my ancestor.
As for the existence of the Yin Ling Cave here, I will truthfully report it to my ancestor."
Gu Changhuan expressed that he would stay here for a while to collect more Yin Qi.
Then, Zhang Yizhan jumped on the eagle's back and left on the spiritual eagle.
Gu Changhuan, however, stayed here for seven days before leaving with his sword.
However, at this time, one third of the black flag has been repaired. Although it is still far from what Gu Changhuan thought, the remaining ones can obviously not be repaired by Yin Qi alone.
After Gu Changhuan returned to Jiuqifang City, he met Gu Xuanzhan. Before he could say anything, Gu Xuanzhan smiled and said:
"What a boy, he even killed a third-level high-grade monster. He is truly worthy of being a descendant of my Gu family!
It’s just that you took too long to collect Yin Qi. If that boy from the Zhang family hadn’t told you that you were safe and sound, I might have gone to the Qianlong Mountains to look for you.”
Gu Changhuan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that it seemed that the ancestor of the Zhang family had come to discuss the Yinling Point with his great grandfather, but he didn't know what the outcome would be.
So he opened his mouth and told the whole story, including the ghost flat peach incident. Finally, he said: If the black flag is not a fragment of a magic weapon with a Yin attribute, and I detonated this treasure in time, it may not really be possible.
Killed the Cold Pattern Toad.
After listening to Gu Changhuan's words, Gu Xuanzhan was still a little excited. He said:
"Magical weapons are also part of a cultivator's strength. You don't have to be humble. If it were a different person that day, even if he also had fragments of the magic weapon in his hand, he might not be able to kill the Cold Pattern Toad."
Gu Changhuan did not argue any more, but said:
"Because of this, the fragment of my magic weapon was damaged.
Fortunately, there is a Yin Ling Cave on the spiritual mountain, which can help me repair the fragments of the magic weapon, so I wasted some time.
By the way, this is a ghost flat peach, please accept it, Grandpa."
With Gui Pantao, Gu Xuanzhan can spend less time advancing to the golden elixir, which also makes up for the time he wasted being stuck in the later stages of foundation building.
Gu Xuanzhan was not polite and accepted the ghost flat peach directly and said with a smile:
"However, it is a coincidence that you are back. I have one or two happy events to tell you.
Early this morning, news came from Bifeng Mountain that Chang Cheng had laid the foundation.
Wanchang decided to hold a foundation-building ceremony for him, and at the same time, he would officially pass on the position of patriarch to boy Shining at the foundation-building ceremony."
Gu Changhuan was not surprised by these two things. After all, Gu Changcheng's qualifications were there, and there were already signs that Gu Shining would take over the position of patriarch.
"And..." Gu Xuanzhan continued.
besides?
Gu Changhuan was a little confused. Is there any happy event in the clan worth celebrating recently?
Gu Xuanzhan looked at Gu Changhuan with a smile in his eyes and said slowly:
"After unanimous discussion between me and Wanchang, we decided to establish the position of "Elder Zhutian" in the family to commend clan members who have made significant contributions to the family;
Elder Zhutian is not just a false name. Elder Zhutian has the same power as the clan leader. When the clan leader is absent, he can act as the clan leader;
The status is only below that of me, the Supreme Elder and the Patriarch, and even the Patriarch cannot abolish the position of Zhutian Elder;
