Chapter 6 Stepping into the Gate of Immortal Cultivation
Among the seven children, the one who gets the most attention is naturally Gu Changcheng, who has two spiritual roots of earth and wood, followed by a child named Gu Changgong. Gu Changgong has three spiritual roots of water, earth and wood. The water main spiritual root is more than six inches long, and his qualifications are as good as
Gu Changze is almost the same. If he practices hard, he will become the mainstay of the family in the future.
There are tens of thousands of mortals and over ten thousand children in Yuqing Town, including many descendants of immortal cultivators, but only seven of the children with spiritual roots were detected this time.
Gu Shiyuan and the other three took the roster to the General Affairs Hall to submit a mission. Gu Wanhua was naturally happy to hear that there was a double spiritual root. At that time, he sent a message to the clan leader Gu Wanchang. He also made the decision to increase the reward for the task by one-third.
Gu Wanhua happily counted the rosters brought back by each captain.
"Seven people from Yuqing Town, five people from Gujia Town, and four people from Rong Town..."
"The total number of clan members with spiritual roots this time is twenty-seven! The eldest generation is really prosperous!"
Gu Wanhua was happy and worried at the same time.
With nearly thirty people, the annual salary is a considerable expense.
Gu Changhuan was in the Scripture Depository Pavilion at this time. She described everything about the spirit testing conference in the past two days to Gu Xuanzhan. Gu Xuanzhan actually sighed when he heard that another double spirit root appeared in his family.
Born and raised in wood, the kid named Gu Changcheng is luckier than him!
Although Gu Xuanzhan also has dual spiritual roots, he has dual spiritual roots of water and fire, and the spiritual root attributes conflict. If he wants to break through the Purple Mansion stage, he must have an earth attribute spiritual object to reconcile the water and fire aura. This earth attribute spiritual object must be at least the third level of high grade. If
With the blending of earthless spiritual objects, before Gu Xuanzhan can attack the Zi Mansion, the spiritual energy that cannot be tolerated by water and fire will explode in the body and send Gu Xuanzhan into reincarnation.
Third-level high-grade spiritual objects are rare. It has been more than thirty years since Gu Xuanzhan entered the ninth level of foundation building, so he has not yet broken through to the Zifu stage. Gu Xuanzhan is already two hundred and forty-three years old. If he cannot reach the ninth level within fifty years,
If you go one step further, you can only sit down.
Gu Changhuan didn't know about Gu Xuanzhan's predicament. She looked at Gu Xuanzhan's expression and was suspicious. It was a good thing that a twin spirit was born in the Gu family, but why did the great-grandfather sigh? Is there any secret in this?
"That's all, please step back." Gu Xuanzang waved his hand and said.
Gu Changhuan paid a big tribute to Gu Xuanzhan. Gu Xuanzhan taught her carefully for half a year. From now on, she would not be able to visit him every day. She was a little sad for a while.
"Chang Huan would like to thank my great grandpa for his teachings over the past six months. Chang Huan will come to bother you often in the future. I hope that my great grandpa won't mind Chang Huan being noisy."
Gu Xuanzhan helped Gu Changhuan up and felt a little moved for a moment.
However, he has been cultivating immortality for many years and has seen countless separations between life and death. Naturally, he will not lose his composure. He just laments that Gu Changhuan is really a very affectionate child.
That night, the Gu family held a family meeting. Gu Wanchang lit the soul lanterns of these children one by one, and the twenty-seven children were sorted. These children were all eldest.
Gu Changhuan suddenly gained twelve sisters and fifteen brothers!
The next day, the teaching hall was very lively.
Twenty-eight children sat down separately in a classroom in the teaching hall, and it didn't take long for them to become familiar with each other. Gu Changhuan sat in the corner, secretly sighing at a loss.
She is not an ordinary seven-year-old child! Why should she come to the church with these little carrot heads?
Gu Changhuan, who has a total of more than thirty years of memories in his past and present lives, feels that he has an inexplicable sense of superiority when looking at these children.
Her usual friends Gu Changze and Gu Changqing are both quite mature. Although sometimes they are a little out of touch, they no longer have the childishness of ordinary children. But these little carrot heads...
She just saw a little carrot head and his deskmate drawing lines on the table...
"It's you, you are a weirdo like your father!"
"I heard he is a wild boy! He has no mother!"
The noise broke Gu Changhuan's contemplation. She looked up and saw Gu Changcheng surrounded by several children. Gu Changcheng blushed and defended himself.
"I didn't take anything from you! I never came near you! You bully me!"
It turned out that someone had lost something, and somehow they suspected Gu Changcheng.
Gu Changhuan frowned. Was it an accident or was someone targeting Gu Changcheng?
"I believe it wasn't Brother Changcheng who took it! Maybe you lost it yourself and falsely accused Brother Changcheng!" A little girl in pink clothes stood next to Gu Changcheng and said loudly.
I also know this little girl Gu Changhuan. She is the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Yuqing Town. Her name is Gu Changyue.
It seemed that she and Gu Changcheng were quite familiar.
"Gu Changcheng is the poorest among us, why can't he be the one!" The young man who lost his things became even more angry when he saw someone defending Gu Changcheng. He walked to Gu Changcheng and stretched out his hand to push Gu Changcheng.
.
Gu Changcheng was unprepared and fell backwards. The back of his head was about to hit the corner of the long table.
Gu Changhuan hurriedly stepped forward, flicked his sleeves and used his spiritual energy to support Gu Changcheng, preventing Gu Changcheng's head from making close contact with the corner of the table.
"Immortal!"
"I didn't mean it, Immortal! It was Gu Changcheng who stole my things!" The young man who had lost his things panicked.
Gu Changhuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Gu Changcheng was not injured. The attack just now consumed a lot of her spiritual energy, but fortunately, she was safe in the end.
Gu Changcheng didn't know that his head was about to explode, but his face turned pale and he was obviously frightened.
Gu Changhuan glanced at the young man, and then at the clan brothers standing behind the young man. They were all seven or eight-year-old boys. They were not yet adults, and they were already capable of hurting others with their words.
"You said you lost something, do you suspect Gu Changcheng stole it?" Gu Changhuan's voice was filled with anger.
"Yes... it was Chang Wu who said that Gu Changcheng's family was very poor and he might have stolen my jade pendant..." the young man Nuonuo said.
"I said it's possible!" A shorter boy said in a panic.
"Chang Cheng, do you have anything to say?" Gu Changhuan ignored Gu Changwu
"Me, Gu Changli and I don't live in the same courtyard. Before entering the classroom, I had been with sister Chang Yue and the others." Gu Changcheng was still sober.
Gu Changli, who had lost his jade pendant, also realized at this time that Gu Changcheng really had no chance to steal his things.
He glared at Gu Changwu. If it weren't for Gu Changwu, he wouldn't doubt Gu Changcheng.
At this time, the elders of the church finally arrived.
Gu Shiying had already entered the classroom and noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere. He coughed to attract everyone's attention.
"Meet the elder." Everyone saluted.
"What's going on? Chang Huan, please tell me." The children in this room all have half-life faces, and the only one Gu Shiying is familiar with is Gu Changhuan.
"Elder, brother Gu Changli lost his jade pendant. Brother Gu Changwu and others suspected that brother Chang Cheng had stolen it because of his family background. They got into an argument and Chang Cheng was almost injured."
Gu Shiying has been in the teaching hall for more than ten years, and he can guess the whole process from the first listen. These boys must have made a big fuss at that time, otherwise Gu Changcheng would not have turned pale.
Fighting between roommates is never a trivial matter, he said with a cold expression, "Who was making noise at that time? Stand up for yourself!"
At this time, Gu Changli and others' faces turned completely pale. They wouldn't be sent home, right?
Gu Changhuan looked at his nose and his eyes. Since the elder was here, nothing would happen to her. As for those boys, Gu Shiying would definitely not let them go, but he would not punish them too harshly.
In the end, including Gu Changli, a total of four teenagers stepped forward.
"Chang Li, do you know your mistake?"
"I know I was wrong. I shouldn't doubt others without any reason, let alone take action." Gu Changli lowered his head. He didn't know what was going on and easily believed Gu Changwu's fallacy.
"Since you know your mistake, I will punish you by copying the book of etiquette and clan rules ten times and handing them over to me within a week. The three of you will each copy them five times and hand them over within a week. As for the jade pendant you lost...
··But this one?”
Gu Shiying's consciousness swept away and he found a jade pendant under the long table in the classroom. He took it out of thin air and the jade pendant was in his hand.
"Yes! It's this jade pendant! Thank you, elder!" Gu Changli was overjoyed. It seems that this jade pendant is very important to him.
After putting away the jade pendant, Gu Changli turned around and apologized to Gu Changcheng, "Brother Changcheng, it was my fault. I shouldn't have doubted you and pushed you. I hope you will not remember the villain's fault..."
Gu Changcheng obviously didn't expect Gu Changli to apologize to him. His father taught him to be kind to others, so he forgave Gu Changli without much hesitation.
Seeing Gu Changli apologize to Gu Changcheng, Gu Shiying nodded, a child can be taught.
But, did Changwu and the other children deliberately target Gu Changcheng? Gu Shiying couldn't make a decision either. After all, they were only seven or eight-year-old children, so the punishment couldn't be too severe.
Please pay more attention to it in the future!
Gu Changhuan met Gu Shiying after studying in the teaching hall for a few days.
"It's Chang Huan! What do you want from me?" Gu Shiying said with a smile.
"Elder, I have already learned everything taught in the teaching hall. I'm afraid it would be a waste of time to learn it again. So I want to go to the Baiyi Department under the jurisdiction of the teaching hall to continue studying." Gu Changhuan said truthfully.
"I see, I was negligent. Chang Huan, you have studied in the Great Elder's Sutra Pavilion for half a year, and it is indeed a waste of time to stay in the teaching hall now. In this case, you can go directly to Baiyi Department tomorrow!" Gu
Shiying nodded and agreed to the matter.
The Baiyi Division is a place where Gu family members learn to cultivate and practice various arts. It is open to clan members under the age of twenty for free. If a clan member over the age of twenty wants to study in the Baiyi Division, they must pay a certain amount of contribution points or spirit stones.
.
Gu Changhuan's first choice was naturally alchemy.
The reason! Of course it’s because Gu Changhuan’s grandfather, Gu Wanhao, is the number one alchemist of the Gu family!
Moreover, in the past six months, Gu Changhuan has read the Alchemy Classic and Pharmacopoeia thoroughly, and has gained a preliminary understanding of alchemy.
There are six steps in alchemy: preparing medicine, warming furnace, quenching spirit, melting spirit, condensing elixir, and accumulating elixir. Among them, preparing medicine does not require the alchemist to do it himself, and the other steps require the alchemist to concentrate on the operation. If it is the alchemy process
If someone disturbs you, it is very likely that the alchemy furnace will be destroyed!
Spiritual elixirs are also divided into levels. For example, the Qi-nourishing pill distributed by the family is a first-level mid-grade elixir. It helps to speed up the cultivation speed of immortal cultivators below the middle stage of Qi training. There are five Qi-nourishing pills in a bottle.
, a bottle of Qi Nourishing Pill can be sold for twenty spirit stones.
It's just that although the elixir is good, it contains erysipelas. If a cultivator blindly covets the magical effects of the elixir and consumes it too much, more and more erysipelas will accumulate in the body, and eventually it will be difficult to break through and fall into a bottleneck.
But erysipelas does not prevent alchemy from becoming one of the most profitable industries. After all, most immortal cultivators are not wealthy enough to consume elixirs every day to improve their cultivation.
The Gu family is famous for their alchemy skills, so the family art department must be very lively.
On the way to Baiyi Division, Gu Changhuan kept recalling the knowledge she had learned about alchemy. She couldn't lose her grandfather's face! After taking a deep breath, she opened the door of Baiyi Division.
I saw a family monk lying on the cabinet, snoring loudly and sleeping soundly.
