Shopkeeper Yao took a deep breath. Hearing Pavilion Master Cui's howl like a slaughtering pig and seeing corpses all over the place, Shopkeeper Yao was frightened. He sighed secretly about the impermanence of the world. Only then did the monks who were still chatting with him in front of Tianfeng Canyon...
In a few days, he became the person who controlled his destiny!
Shopkeeper Yao didn't dare to think too much, and hurriedly bowed his head to the ground: "Fellow Taoist Mingjian, I went with Pavilion Master Cui and Cai Yapo, but I didn't do anything detrimental to fellow Taoist and these girls."
Before he could finish speaking, Wanqing snorted coldly: "Cui Duo saved you from the little witch. I heard it clearly. I can't deny it! Anyone who has anything to do with these villains will die!"
Shopkeeper Yao let out a long sigh, closed his eyes and stopped defending, and said bitterly: "Girl, please give me a good pleasure for the sake of my unintentional attack!"
Gu Qing waved his hand and said calmly: "Since he is not guilty, just stamp his soul. There is no need to kill him."
"Yes! Master." Wanqing and Wen Yu had no choice but to do as they were told.
Shopkeeper Yao's face was finally not as pale as before. After being branded with a soul, he cupped his fist at Gu Qing and thanked her profusely.
Gu Qing frowned and said: "Answer me! Why did you turn back? And how did you meet the little witch?"
Shopkeeper Yao nodded repeatedly: "We encountered a seventh-level monster in the plum forest in Tianfeng Gorge! We suffered heavy losses. Then we ran into walls one after another. The monsters we encountered were not something we could resist, so we turned back.
Ahem, we originally planned to find a place to meditate and practice like fellow Taoists, and wait until the weather is calm in Tianfeng Gorge before leaving the canyon. Who would have thought that a powerful little witch would appear halfway through, killing several people, even the villains?
I almost died in her hands. She was so arrogant and unreasonable! This little witch neither robbed nor wanted spiritual stones. She just rummaged through our storage bags in search of golden grass. Later, we met several groups of monks from Khe Sanh City.
When we inquired about each other, we both had the same experience of being searched by the little witch."
Wen Yu and Wanqing looked at each other in shock after hearing this. It was surprising that after they left the little witch, Su Yingying became even more reckless and thought of such a way to search for heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Gu Qing asked again: "Do you know where the other monk teams from Xishan Prefecture have gone? Can Nanshan Tang Family and others go far?"
"No! Deep in the Tianfeng Gorge, the power of the monsters has become the biggest obstacle to our trip. Except for the great cultivator family and the sect who can work together to hunt down one or two, teams like us who have been put together temporarily cannot go deep into the sky.
Wind Gorge.”
Having said this, Shopkeeper Yao shook his head and sighed, feeling deeply that his own strength was insufficient. He only hoped that Gu Qing would let him and his guys go back, and he no longer wanted to stay in this place of right and wrong for a long time.
At this time, Zhiqiu and Xiaotao came excitedly, and Gu Qing claimed that they had killed Cui Duo, but he could still hear Cui Duo's moans.
The two girls said excitedly: "Cui Zhutou said that as long as he survives, he will dedicate the Huixing Pavilion to us!"
Gu Qing sneered and said: "Whether Cui Duo is dead or alive, Huixing Pavilion no longer belongs to him! He is not qualified to negotiate terms. If you want to kill or behead him, you can do whatever you want."
Zhiqiu explained: "The master doesn't know something. Cui Duo said that he has branches in each of the nine immortal cities. He has the best information about Fang City and has a wide network of contacts. He just wants to survive and is willing to serve us."
Gu Qing heard something in his heart and nodded slightly: "Yeah! Then let him live. Zhiqiu, from now on, you will be the big proprietor of Huixing Island, and all his business transactions in the Nine Immortal Cities will be
It's up to you to rule."
Zhiqiu's eyes were full of color, and he nodded vigorously. He turned around and went with Xiaotao to imprint Cui Duo's soul and interrogate him about his shops and valuable treasures in various fairy cities.
Gu Qing ordered Wen Yu and Wan Qing to imprint the souls of the remaining monks and become their servants to help run the business of Huixing Pavilion.
Gu Qing even made his own decision and incorporated Shopkeeper Yao into Huixing Pavilion to be in charge of the purchase and consignment of spiritual herbs and elixirs. Among them, rare and rare spiritual herbs must be registered in the book, which Gu Qing will review at any time.
Shopkeeper Yao naturally had no objections. Thinking of being able to sit on an equal footing with Pavilion Master Cui in the future, he smiled from ear to ear.
Finally, Xiao Tao proposed to keep Cui Duo and Shopkeeper Yao in the team as guides.
Gu Qing shook his head: "They have been scared out of their wits by the ferocious beasts deep in Tianfeng Gorge. If they join our team, they can only hold back and simply send them away, leaving them in the thousands of ravines of Tianfeng Gorge.
Hide and practice, and after the Tianfeng Gorge experience is over, go back and take care of the Chamber of Commerce for us."
Shopkeeper Yao and Pavilion Master Cui claimed so, and they were even more cautious along the way, carefully turning back through the ravines.
However, Gu Qing and the four maids drove the demon dragon straight to the depths of Tianfeng Gorge to continue their training.
Along the way, Gu Qing put on the forbidden gauze bamboo hat and raincoat again, and ordered: "Show the transmission talisman, contact Tang Long of the Nanshan Tang Clan, and Zhuo Wujun of the Zhuo Clan's strong team, and inquire about their whereabouts. This time,
We must catch up from behind and rush directly in front of them!"
In the depths of Tianfeng Canyon, the road ahead has been walked by monks. Gu Qing and his party can completely drive the demon dragon and rush through it.
Not long after, a transmission note flew from the south. Zhiqiu took it and took a look: "It's from Tang Long and Tang Jichuan. Their Nanshan Tang clan has reached Lanxi deep in Tianfeng Gorge. It is said that all the monks are there."
Among them, the one who is at the forefront!"
Gu Qing unfolded the map of Tianfeng Canyon and the jade slips of the map used by direct descendants of the Zhuo family, found the location of Lanxi, and immediately flew to the southeast on the demon dragon.
What surprised them a little was that Zhuo Wujun never responded.
Xiao Taoqi said: "Sister Zhiqiu, that coward Zhuo Wujun must have died due to lack of strength, right?"
Zhiqiu shook his head: "He is not dead. Through the connection of the soul brand, I can vaguely sense his location. It is also in the south, but it is too far away and I don't know the specific location yet."
Gu Qing muttered: "In the Tianfeng Canyon, the monks who can threaten us are, apart from the powerful alliance of the Tang clan in Nanshan, the elite disciples of the Zhuo clan led by Zhuo Wuhua. As for the little witch, Cui Duo said she has been poisoned
Self-healing, but in the end, my subordinates are defeated, and they can't fight alone, so there is nothing to worry about. The remaining Xishan Prefecture, Dongyang Sect, and Luo Wang Sect have very few strong men at the ninth level of cultivation, both in terms of equipment and combat power.
Nothing too outstanding.”
The four women nodded in response, with anticipation in their eyes.
Zhiqiu was fascinated: "I wonder where the Dijincao is distributed in Tianfeng Canyon? Ahem, this is one of the medicinal materials for refining the condensation pill! If there are many, can the master share some with us?"
"Of course!" Gu Qing nodded and smiled, without saying anything more. As long as he can find Dijincao, even a blade of grass, he can grow countless top-quality ones in the Xingfu Star Cliff!
However, this matter is not open to outsiders. Even if they are subordinates who have been together through life and death, or they are like-minded friends, Gu Qing will not reveal a word.
After all, this is related to one's own wealth and life. Just like the white jade gourd in the belly of the golden ant in Gu Qing's arms, even if it is taken out, in the eyes of outsiders, it is just an inconspicuous jade pendant. Treasures hide themselves, and so do people.
!
Xiao Tao sighed quietly: "Zhiqiu and Sister Qing have both reached the ninth level of cultivation, and Wen Yu and I are almost there. It seems that the completion of the cultivation stage is not far away, but it is not easy to get the Condensation Pill!"
"Although we have taken over the Huixing Pavilion from the Chamber of Commerce, I'm afraid that no matter how much spiritual stone we spend, we won't be able to buy it. We can only place our hope on the Dijincao from this trip! It would be even better if there were more of them. We can exchange them when the time comes.
, exchange it with someone who holds other three-flavored spiritual grass, and you will be one step closer to forming an elixir."
Gu Qing smiled and said: "If I can collect the four-flavored spiritual grass to refine the condensed pill, I will refine it for you personally. It won't take long for my alchemy skills to be promoted to the realm of an alchemy master!"
The four girls were surprised and overjoyed!
"A master of alchemy! Looking at the whole world of Wu Kingdom's immortal cultivation, there are only a few of them!"
"No wonder the master gave each of us a bottle of Hundred Meridians Spiritual Pill. It turns out that the master's alchemy skills are so superb! No wonder the master doesn't look down on spiritual stones and other things. I often hear that those who practice alchemy with advanced alchemy skills never do it.
Lack of spiritual stone! When I saw it today, it turned out to be true."
"Master, please teach us how to make alchemy!"
Gu Qing smiled indifferently, pretending to be deep and said: "Everyone can collect medicine, but refining alchemy requires alchemy talent. Our Tiandan Sect is famous for alchemy among the nine immortal sects, but in the entire immortal sect, there is only one elder from the immortal sect.
Elders Zu and Han have reached the realm of alchemy masters. And I, Gu Qing, will become the third one!"
Gu Qing knew very well that in fact, he had no talent for alchemy at all, and he was not even as good as ordinary alchemists. It was just through refining a large amount of elixirs that practice makes perfect! The waste elixirs he had refined in half a year were three times better than Elder Han's.
There are many waste elixirs that have been refined over the past hundred years.
Just as the five masters and servants were flying to the depths of Tianfeng Canyon with full confidence and expectations, they saw many teams of monks failing and turning back. Some were seriously injured, and some were caught by the flying swords of their teammates.
The team was in twos and threes, with more than half of them dead or wounded.
"The vast majority of people are injured by monsters! It seems that the monsters in the depths of Tianfeng Gorge are indeed, as Shopkeeper Yao and others said, an ordinary team of monks cannot hunt them down at all!"
Wanqing's face showed a solemn look. It seems that finding the golden grass is much more difficult than imagined!
They flew until dawn, finally saw the Merlin that Cui Duo and Shopkeeper Yao had mentioned, and finally reached the very depths of Tianfeng Canyon.
Wen Yu said with a nervous look: "It is said that after Merlin, all the demon beasts that appear are condensed pills! Master, we have to be more careful!"
Gu Qing looked at the jade slips of the map and smiled slightly: "Even if there are pill-condensing monsters, they must have been killed by the strong team in front! This place is still far from Lanxi, we must move forward at full speed!"
Gu Qing took a picture of the sixth-level water spirit fruit, fed the demonic dragon, and whizzed past the plum forest. Sure enough, he saw no trace of the seventh-level demonic beast.
The demon dragon flew thousands of miles away again. Gu Qing stood on the dragon's head and looked into the distance. He saw that Lanxi was like a jade belt, cutting across the canyon. It seemed that many monks were blocked, and they all wandered along the bank of Lanxi. It seemed that no one dared to cross Lanxi.
