All the monks looked at Gu Qing and others who were gradually approaching with admiring eyes, and greeted loudly from a distance: "Master Gu Alchemy, you are finally back! Everyone in the noble sect is waiting for you with great anxiety."
Gu Qing nodded to everyone as a response, but remained silent and looked very cold. In addition, the evil aura around him was overwhelming, making everyone intimidated.
These people came forward with compliments and praises on their lips. However, seeing Gu Qing's power, they did not dare to flatter him and quietly retreated.
Some people informed the female cultivators of the Nether Sect and told them about the change of ownership of the Nether Sect. Bai Qiu couldn't help but have a look of worry on his face. I wonder what the attitude of the messengers sent by the Nether Sect towards their return will be at the upcoming Maple Festival.
Yuzhen competes to see if there are any requirements for the rankings they strive for.
Gu Qing said calmly: "Miss Bai, just don't worry. In Gu's opinion, the Netherworld Immortal Sect has taken over the daily affairs of the Nether Sect, mainly to appease them, and will never do anything that would embarrass everyone."
Bai Qiu was a little surprised. He didn't know why Gu Qing was so sure, so he could only nod his head and said with a wry smile: "With your kind words, Master Gu, I'll take my leave! The disciples of Fengyu Town's Anding competed, and I have to thank Alchemist Meng for taking care of me."
"
At the east gate of Fengyu Town, Gu Qing said goodbye to the female cultivators of the Ming Sect, politely declined the invitation of the Lu sisters, and walked through the bustling crowd towards Xiling Street in Nanchengfang City.
The casual cultivators in Fengyu Town who gathered at the east gate did not leave Gu Qing because of his cold attitude. On the contrary, the news that Gu Qing had returned and advanced to the pinnacle of the ninth level of Anding was spread to ten people.
Hundreds, word spread quickly, and monks kept coming after hearing the news, all coming to have a look at the ancient alchemist!
Gu Qing originally wanted to rely on his familiarity with Fengyu Town to use his wind control skills, walk through the streets and alleys, and dodge the crowds, but then he thought again, it might not be a bad thing if they followed him.
Arriving at Xiling Street, Gu Qing strolled into a small drugstore with a Chen's signboard. The monks who followed him stared at it with wide eyes, triggering various speculations.
"Look! The ancient alchemist entered Chen's Pharmacy. Is he going to buy elixirs here?"
"Impossible! Gu Qing is a master of alchemy. What kind of elixir can't he refine? In order to prepare for the Anding disciple competition in the future, he should buy some top-quality spiritual grass and go back to refine it himself."
"Such a small medicine shop also sells the best spiritual herbs? I've never heard of it!"
"Don't you understand? Those big chambers of commerce and medium-sized pharmacies, Gu Alchemist didn't pay attention to them at all. He didn't even look at them when he passed by. The fact that he can buy them at Chen's Pharmacy means that the medicinal herbs in this pharmacy are good! From now on.
We also buy here.”
Everyone nodded in agreement, and soon they all rushed into Chen's Pharmacy, scrambling to buy elixirs and spiritual herbs.
How did they know that Gu Qing came here just to visit his old friend Chen Hu, to see that he was still so strong, strong, honest and straightforward. Sun Erhu was also his deputy in the medicine shop. Although the two people's cultivation had not improved much, but here
Running a drug store is a pleasant life.
Chen Hu smiled naively: "Brother Gu has a very high reputation now. In the entire Fengyu Town, there is no monk who doesn't know Brother Gu's name! I didn't expect that you would come to visit me just after you came back from Donglingze."
At this time, many monks poured in, clamoring to buy elixirs and spiritual herbs, which kept Chen Hu busy for a while and did not bother to chat with Gu Qing.
Gu Qing summoned Sun Erhu and asked this Bao from Fengyu Town to find out who the strong men had appeared in Fengyu Town as the competition was approaching recently.
"Hehe, my subordinates heard from people that after training in Dong Lingze, many strong men at the peak of the ninth level of Anding have emerged. In addition to the monks from the five major sects, there are many casual cultivators who have advanced, but none of them have senior brothers.
Your reputation is high. In the opinion of my subordinates, it is absolutely a matter of course for me, Senior Brother, to reach the top five in the Anding Disciple Competition!"
Sun Erhu's eyes were full of respect for his senior brother, and he really complimented him.
Gu Qing did not become arrogant at all. He knew that his reputation was based on his two special identities of alchemy master and high-level pharmacist. What really made him stand out based on his strength was his defeat of Qu Yang. However, one moment after another, in the past few months,
Come, all the Anding disciples are practicing in the later period, just for the competition among Anding disciples in Fengyu Town. It can be said that thousands of sails have sailed, hundreds of teams compete, and the strong ones are indispensable!
"Do you know which evil cultivators, demon cultivators and even ghost cultivators of the Anding stage have poured into Fengyu Town recently?" Gu Qing asked in a low voice.
Sun Erhu had a look of confusion on his face, shook his head vigorously, looked at the monks who were pouring into the store, and sent a message to Gu Qing's spiritual consciousness: "I have not inquired about this, but my subordinates have heard about it, Master Sheng
Tang Ao's disciples, Shang Junyi and the other three young masters of Nansheng, were very angry when they swore the inner demon oath to you, especially because the eldest brother wanted to take away their holy sect's weapon refining drawings, which offended the holy sect even more. Now that the eldest brother is back
That’s fine, just be careful of them stumbling upon you in the big competition.”
Gu Qing nodded in response and said with a slight smile: "When we were in the East Lingze Grand Canyon, I heard that Yuan Hao, the young master of the Yuan family, was missing. Did anyone in the Yuan family look for him?"
Sun Erhu immediately became interested and introduced with flying saliva: "This incident not only alarmed the Yuan family of great immortal cultivators, but even Yuan Guangxi, the elder of the Tiandan sect, was shocked. The Yuan family sent people to ask almost all the questions about Dong Lingze's experience.
All the monks just said that when the beast tide came, Yuan Hao led his servants to fight the beast tide. There was no trace of him anymore. He should have been swallowed up by the beast tide and buried in the belly of the monster beast."
Gu Qing nodded calmly and felt relieved secretly. Seeing Chen Hu busy on the counter in front of him, Gu Qing stuffed Sun Erhu with a storage bag and said calmly: "There are a lot of spiritual herbs in here.
I collected them all in Dong Lingze, and you gave them all to Chen Hu and the pharmacy will run them, so they are considered gifts from me."
After that, Gu Qing walked away from the back door of the drug store.
Sun Erhu was slightly startled. He opened the storage bag and scanned it with his consciousness. He couldn't help but gasped!
"Good guy, so many spiritual herbs! Enough for a pharmacy to sell for ten years, senior brother!"
Sun Erhu hurriedly chased him out of the back door, but Gu Qing was nowhere to be seen.
Gu Qing went around the teleportation array in Nanchengfang City, teleported directly back to the Medicine Sect without making any stops, and rushed to the Medicine Sect's main hall.
His arrival naturally exuded an astonishing evil aura, alarming the Medicine Sect Master and the elders in the hall, who all looked at him sideways.
"It turns out to be the ancient wise nephew! Such a strong blood evil spirit, just come back!"
The elders couldn't help but beam with joy. These days, as the Anding disciple competition in Fengyu Town approaches, the sect leaders and elders of the major sects are very nervous, especially the relatively weak sects like Xiangyao Sect, from Dong Lingze
Among the monks who came back, only Zuo Boming advanced from the ninth level of Anding to the Great Perfection of Anding, and might be able to compete in the competition. The other disciples were all mediocre, and the situation was really worrying.
Now that Gu Qing had returned in time, all the elders breathed a sigh of relief, as if the big stone weighing on their hearts had finally fallen to the ground, and they suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
The happiest person was Zhao Yuan, the sect leader. He was most worried about the safety of Gu Qing. This was the alchemy wizard with the highest alchemy talent in the Medicine Sect for thousands of years. Once he died, the consequences would be disastrous. When he saw that Gu Qing not only came back safely, but also
The aura is much stronger than before!
In just one month, Gu Qing actually practiced from the eighth level of Anding to the peak of the ninth level of Anding. This made Sect Master Zhao even more surprised. At the same time, he sighed helplessly: "Gu Qing, it seems that you have made up your mind.
Participate in the Anding Disciple Competition in Fengyu Town and join the Immortal Sect. Are you unwilling to stay in the Medicine Sect?"
Gu Qing knew very well that if he stayed in the Medicine Sect, he would be the next sect leader, which was what the Master expected most, but he was destined to disappoint the Master. Gu Qing nodded firmly: "Master's kind intention
, my disciple understands. However, the road to immortality is long, and I must search high and low to pursue more longevity and a higher realm!"
Seeing how determined Gu Qing was and how he could not retain his position as the future sect leader, Sect Leader Zhao had no choice but to give up and nodded: "Since you insist on participating in the Anding Disciple Competition in Fengyu Town, as a teacher you will be able to
Full support! After all, this is also related to the reputation and future of our Medicine Sect. No matter who wins, you or Zuo Boming, it will be a good thing."
Gu Qing thanked his master and was about to say goodbye to meet some friends from Qinglingyuan.
Sect Leader Zhao added: "Wait a minute! Before the competition, the sect has provided all elite disciples with the spiritual vein cave with the strongest aura, which is most suitable for meditation. Whatever is lacking, I will leave it to my sect leader and the elders."
The Yangxing elders in the main hall nodded in agreement: "During the Anding Disciple Competition, the entire sect will work together to assist you as much as possible. It not only provides an excellent training place, but if the ancient sage nephew has any requests, just ask
propose!"
Gu Qing saw that the sect master and the elders had made arrangements, and they all showed rare enthusiasm, obviously attaching great importance to the Anding disciple competition.
So Gu Qing smiled calmly and said: "I heard that in this competition, evil cultivators, demonic cultivators and even ghost cultivators within thousands of miles of Fengyu Town will come to participate, and there are many strong men in the Anding stage of Dzogchen.
I hope the elders will investigate this matter in the next couple of days and know ourselves and our enemies."
The expressions of all the elders became solemn. In all the competitions between Anding disciples in Fengyu Town, evil cultivators and demonic cultivators are always at the top. Their strength should not be underestimated. The elders all nodded in agreement, volunteered one after another, and immediately got up to go to Fengyu.
We went to the streets and alleys of the town and even outside Fengyu Town to inquire about the news, and started to make inquiries during the recovery period.
Under the leadership of his master, Sect Leader Zhao, Gu Qing entered the important place of the sect, Ziwu Peak, which is rarely open to the public on weekdays. The spiritual energy here is the strongest in the Medicine Sect, and the spiritual vein cave built above is also extremely luxurious. Indeed,
It is an excellent place for retreat and practice.
Sect Master Zhao pointed at a row of caves halfway up Purple Mist Peak and said with a slight smile: "Most of your junior brothers are practicing in seclusion halfway up the mountain, trying to restore their physical strength, magic power and mind to their peak state before the competition. Master
Your Majesty has specially left the altar at the top of Purple Mist Peak to you, where the aura is the strongest, and you can have a panoramic view of the mountains, calm your mind, and remain calm."
