The reason why Gu Changhuan bought this spiritual bead was naturally not to refine a magic weapon or to use it for anything.
It's because there is something else in this spirit bead.
As long as you probe into this spiritual bead with your spiritual consciousness, you will find that this spiritual bead actually records the location of an ancient cave.
In other words, this spirit bead is actually a map of the ancient cave.
But...
Judging from the performance of the foundation-building stall owner, this "ancient repair cave" is nothing more than a trap.
"It seems that the things recorded by the pirates are true. There is really an ancient cave repair bureau in the South China Sea to deceive people!
It’s just that this fake map seller is just a monk in the foundation building period. I wonder what kind of cultivation level the monk waiting to catch the turtle in the urn over there in the fake ancient repair cave has?"
Even so, Gu Changhuan had no intention of going into this muddy water.
The reason why I bought this pearl was not to prevent it from harming other monks, but to show it to other members of the Gu family, so that these people would not be easily deceived and lost their lives by these methods in the future.
After walking around the many stalls of casual cultivators, Gu Changhuan bought an animal bone from a Zifuqi stall owner at a very low price that looked gray and did not contain much spiritual energy.
After returning to the inn, Gu Changhuan took out his spiritual sword and dug open the animal bones. He saw pure golden semi-solidified liquid in the animal bones. There was only a small bottle to put it in, but this bottle was worth tens of thousands of medium-grade liquids.
Spiritual stone!
After putting away the small bottle of golden liquid, Gu Changhuan said with a smile:
“Thanks to the stall owner’s ignorance, he mistook these fifth-level animal bones for ordinary third-level animal bones;
It's just that the spiritual power on the surface of these fifth-level animal bones has been exhausted, but the essence of this bone marrow is a spiritual thing that is difficult to detect.
If I hadn't been guided by the Immortal Chart and had some discernment, I might have missed this thing.
Although this fifth-level monster golden marrow cannot be said to be priceless, it is also a rare fifth-level material. I am really lucky to be able to get it so easily."
Gu Changhuan said, slowly calming down.
Then, he waved his hand to set a restriction and started practicing.
It has been some time since he advanced to the golden elixir. Although he has been busy with everything since he advanced to the golden elixir, he rarely has time to practice. However, because he possesses the body of the Great Dao, Gu Changhuan's cultivation is still growing at an extremely fast rate.
Now, it is almost reaching the second level of Jindan.
The situation in the South China Sea is complicated and dangerous. Although the Gu family only intends to do business, Gu Changhuan will not just stay in the shop all the time. When the dust about the shop is settled, he will naturally go out to travel, so the higher the cultivation level, the better
.
Moreover, this place is the South China Sea, and no matter how fast Gu Changhuan's cultivation progresses here, no one cares.
After all, in Nanhai, he did not have an immediate superior like Haoran Sect.
Thinking like this, Gu Changhuan also felt a little more comfortable.
Soon, it will be five days later.
Gu Changhuan led the Gu family and others to board the sea-crossing boat. After seeing the wonder of the sea-crossing boat, Gu Changhuan thought that if the Gu family became a Nascent Soul power in the future, they would definitely build a similar sea boat.
There are more than ten people in the Gu family. Naturally, one ticket with the word "ling" is not enough. Two tickets are needed.
However, Gu Changhuan did not stay in the cabin after boarding the ship, but came to the deck.
Looking at the endless sea, an idea passed through Gu Changhuan's mind like lightning.
He was caught instantly by Gu Changhuan.
"If the islands in this sea area are scarce resources that everyone is competing for, then I wonder how many people can discover the resources on the seabed?"
Gu Changhuan thought with a look of concern in his eyes.
With the support of spiritual power and true energy, immortal cultivators can naturally come and go freely in the water. However, although Gu Changhuan has dived into waters before, those waters are just lakes. In terms of depth, they are far from comparable to the sea.
If you could come and go freely on the bottom of the sea...
The mineral veins, elixirs, and deposited treasures on the seabed are all his!
Thinking of this, Gu Changhuan was very excited.
But then I thought about it, although it was not common for him to have his mind set on the bottom of the sea.
But he is definitely not the only one who has thought this way for thousands of years.
And until now, I have never heard that that monk or sect made a fortune by panning for gold on the seabed. Maybe his path itself is impassable?
Gu Changhuan fell into deep thought for a moment.
After the group of them gathered with Gu Wanhua, Gu Wanhua noticed that there was a look of confusion and urgency on her eyebrows that was rare for a descendant of her family.
Could it be that he hasn't recovered from the grief of his parents' death?
But if you look closely, it doesn't look like that.
Gu Wanhua was thinking about this, but Gu Changhuan spoke first. After saying hello, he asked directly:
"I wonder how I, the guarantor, can guarantee a store so that my family can open a store in this vast city of Beiming?"
Seeing him like this, Gu Wanhua's worries disappeared a little. She took out a jade slip and handed it to Gu Changhuan, and then explained:
"I have carefully asked fellow Daoist Qin who is responsible for this matter in Beiming City, and he said that it is not just about letting the Golden Core cultivator show up, but also doing something for Beiming City.
In fact, although they say they are doing things for Beiming City, they are actually just doing things for the Heavenly Beast Sect or the Qin family.
After all, Beiming City belongs to these two families, and even the lords of Beiming City are from the Qin family.
This jade slip was also given to me by fellow Daoist Qin, and it records the tasks that Master Jin Dan must do before opening a shop. Of course, as long as one of the tasks is completed, it will be considered a pass."
Gu Changhuan nodded and looked carefully at the things recorded in the jade slip.
Some of the tasks are to refine elixirs, but you don’t have to think about it. It must be very difficult to refine such elixirs;
There are also tasks of refining weapons, tasks of breaking formations, tasks of translating ancient books and jade slips, tasks of killing monsters, etc.
After looking around, Gu Changhuan still felt that the task of refining alchemy was the most suitable for him.
So he said:
"I think this task of refining the Nether God Pill is quite suitable, but I don't know whether we have to buy the elixir used in refining the pill ourselves, or will Beiming City provide it?"
This Netherworld Pill is a fourth-level high-grade elixir. Although there is no introduction to the effect of this Netherworld Pill, Gu Changhuan speculates that it should be some kind of elixir that can temper spiritual consciousness.
This special-purpose elixir is naturally very difficult to refine.
Gu Wanhua had already inquired about the matter in detail, and she said:
“When it comes to making alchemy, there are two options;
The first is not to take the elixirs from Beiming City, but to collect the elixirs and make elixirs on your own. In this case, you only need to deliver four elixirs;
The second is to receive the elixir from Beiming City and refine the elixir. Beiming City only gives two elixirs, but fourteen elixirs must be delivered. In other words, the elixir yield rate must reach 70%.
Fourteen pills are guaranteed to be delivered.
So I think it’s better to collect the elixirs yourself.”
