Without waiting for the girl in red to speak, Gu Qing smiled and said, "My surname is Gu Dan and my last name is Qing. I happened to meet Miss Miaoke on the road."
The name of the girl in red is Sun Miaoke. She told Gu Qing on the way here.
"You don't have to be polite, fellow Taoist. No outsider has come to our village for hundreds of years. According to the rules, all visitors from outside must first go to see the patriarch. Ke'er, please take this ancient fellow Taoist to see the patriarch.
By the way, I turned in the supplies for this mission."
Gu Qing was shocked. No monks from the outside world had arrived for hundreds of years. How could this be possible? Could it be that in the immortal world, everyone is inseparable from each other until death?
But looking at the serious look of the big man in Tsing Yi, it doesn't look like he is lying. I don't know what is going on.
"Hee hee, I know!" Sun Miaoke chuckled, raised his magatama finger at Gu Qing, and said, "Follow me. But remember, you must be more respectful when meeting the clan leader."
"Of course I understand this." Gu Qing replied with a wry smile.
When they heard that Gu Qing was a monk from the outside world, the others looked at him in surprise, their eyes full of strange color, which was no different from the expression of the big man in green just now.
It seems that outside monks rarely come to this village.
Under the leadership of Sun Miaoke, Gu Qing came to a cave. There were two middle-aged monks sitting cross-legged guarding the door of the cave.
Sun Miaoke whispered something to the two of them, and took out a jade slip and a crystal ball. The two middle-aged monks glanced at Gu Qing with the corner of their eyes, and then carefully inspected the jade slip.
He nodded lightly, motioned for the two of them to enter, and explained the rules for entering the cave.
The cave is not big, and there are almost no traces of man-made chiseling on the stone walls. There are only a few pine oil lamps on both sides of the stone steps, making a crackling sound.
It is hard to imagine that a clan leader from the fairy world would live in such a simple place.
When the two walked to a small door in the grotto, an old voice sounded from inside the stone door: "Ke'er, has your mission been completed?"
"Well, it's done." Sun Miaoke looked excited and nodded heavily.
"Very good, then come in! And that Taoist friend, please come in too." The voice inside the stone door sounded leisurely, and there was no emotion or sadness.
Sun Miaoke pushed open the stone door, and the two of them stepped in. Inside was a simple secret cultivation room, with an old man with wild hair sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, looking at the two of them with a kind face.
Gu Qing's spiritual consciousness swept over the old man with wild hair, and he was suddenly startled. This man was actually a monk in the middle stage of pseudo-psychicism. It was really weird. Logically speaking, once the monks in the immortal world have passed through the heavenly tribulation, they will
You can shape the body of a fairy spirit and reach the true psychic stage.
But this man, like Gu Qing, is only a half-immortal.
Gu Qing did not dare to be negligent, he bowed and said in salute: "My lord, Gu Qing, has rashly disturbed fellow Taoist's latent cultivation. I feel frightened in my heart. Please don't take offense, fellow Taoist."
"There's nothing strange about it. From the look on my Taoist friend's face, it seems that he has just passed through the catastrophe not many years ago, right?" The old man with messy hair had a glint in his eyes.
Gu Qing's expression returned to normal, and he nodded and said: "Fellow Taoist, your eyes are indeed as bright as fire. I just advanced five years ago and accidentally came to this ancient forest. I had many doubts in my heart, so I wanted to find an expert to give me guidance."
12. As the head of a clan, fellow Taoist, I believe that I should be able to answer the doubts in my heart."
"No hurry, no rush." The wild-haired old man waved his hand, interrupting Gu Qing's words, and then turned to Sun Miaoke and said, "Ke'er, where is the condensed cold honey liquid you got?"
"Here." Sun Miaoke took it and handed it into the hands of the old man with wild hair.
The wild-haired old man took the crystal ball, brushed it with an old and withered palm, and said in surprise: "This condensed cold honey liquid is so pure, it seems that it can only be obtained after eleven steps from the Cold Flame Spring."
It’s a high-level thing. Ke’er, tell me carefully how you got this thing!”
Sun Miaoke looked at Gu Qing proudly and said with a smile: "I didn't get this thing, but this person helped me. It is said that it is a crystal ball at the fifteenth step of Hanyanquan. As for whether it is
If it's really at the fifteenth step, I won't be sure."
The wild-haired old man looked at Gu Qing in shock. When he saw him nodding in recognition, he looked serious and said to Sun Miaoke seriously: "Ke'er, don't mention this matter to anyone in the future. If anyone asks you about this,
You are not allowed to tell the truth about the mission you completed this time. Well, you go to the second elder first, and he will give you a rich reward. I want to have a good talk with this ancient Taoist friend."
"Okay." Sun Miaoke nodded and exited the stone room obediently.
At this time, only Gu Qing and the old man with wild hair were left in the entire secret room. Neither of them spoke immediately, but were looking at each other.
After a moment of silence, the wild-haired old man suddenly said: "If I guess correctly, the ancient Taoist friend should be a monk who ascended from the lower world, right?"
Gu Qing was startled, his expression returned to normal immediately, he nodded and said: "Not bad."
A strange light flashed in the eyes of the old man with wild hair, and he closed his eyes slightly, showing a look of reminiscence: "Since the immortal world was destroyed, no monks have ascended for tens of thousands of years. Could it be that God is showing mercy to our human race?
, do you want to give me another chance for the human race to rise?"
Scratching his head, Gu Qing was confused. He didn't know what the old man with wild hair meant. But he had a vague guess. Could it be that the current situation of the human race is very difficult, otherwise why would they talk about "rise"? But
, this is completely different from the information he got!
After a long time, the old man with wild hair took out a breath and said in a deep voice: "Friend Gu Taoist, if you have any doubts, just ask them and I will try my best to answer them for you."
Gu Qing was overjoyed, and after a moment's thought, he thought of his first question: "I think fellow Taoist is also a semi-immortal, why don't you enter the Immortal Holy Pond, take off this mortal body, and reshape yourself as an immortal?"
What about the spiritual body? It seems that only those who obtain the spiritual body can be called true immortals, right?"
"The Fairy Holy Pool? Alas, if there is still a Fairy Holy Pool in this fairy world, why would I keep this useless body?" The old man with wild hair let out a long sigh, and his words were astonishing.
"What, there is no fairy holy pool in the fairy world? How is it possible?" Gu Qing opened his eyes wide. Even though he was in a calm mood, he couldn't help but be frightened at this moment.
The wild-haired old man seemed to have guessed that Gu Qing would have such a reaction, and did not care. Instead, he slowly explained: "Since the last fairy holy pool in the fairy world disappeared ten thousand years ago, there has been no one in the whole fairy world.
The Holy Pool of Immortals. Perhaps, there are such existences in some hidden places, but they are not known to anyone. Even if they exist, what is the use?"
"Is there only one fairy holy pool in the fairy world?" Gu Qing immediately asked.
"Of course it's not one. According to legend, a million years ago, the number of fairy holy pools in the fairy world was tens of thousands. At that time, even a small sect of the human race would occupy a fairy holy pool to recast immortals for its disciples.
The body of the spirit. But for some unknown reason, starting from 300,000 years ago, the fairy holy pools disappeared one after another. No one knew the reason. Even the powerful man with supernatural powers who guarded the fairy holy pool.
I can just watch all this happen without being able to do anything about it.”
Gu Qing's mind fell into a blank. Only by obtaining the body of a fairy in the holy pond of fairy spirits can he truly integrate into this world.
Otherwise, like Gu Qing, who is only a half-immortal monk, and whose cultivation level was forcibly improved by the guy who calls himself an ancient immortal, he always feels that this kind of cultivation level is not reliable. What's more, since the cultivation level has already
After the period of transcending the tribulation, the natural tribulation that the human world must go through is still unavoidable. Moreover, here, the power of the tribulation in the last days may be more powerful, and the tribulation will be even more painful.
Therefore, the Immortal Holy Pool is a must-have for immortal cultivators to reach a higher level.
"Not only has the Fairy Spirit Holy Pool dried up long ago, but there is no longer any Demonic Lotus Holy Pool suitable for advanced demon cultivation. This is the biggest problem that has troubled human monks for thousands of years."
The old man with wild hair shook his head and said sadly.
"Could it be that the only way to obtain the body of a fairy is the Holy Pool of Fairy Spirits?" Gu Qing thought about it and immediately asked.
At this time, he had a vague guess, a bold idea. Perhaps, the ancient immortal let himself ascend to the fairy world just for the sake of the Fairy Spirit Holy Pond and the Demonic Lotus Holy Pond! If this is true, the ancient immortal
Qing felt that he had been deceived and taken advantage of by the ancient immortal.
However, these are just his guesses, without any basis at all.
"Of course there is more than one. In addition to the Fairy Spirit Holy Pool and the Demonic Lotus Holy Pool, there are several other ways, but these ways are either extremely difficult to achieve or have great limitations. For example, one of the methods is to ask
A monk with great magical power used his powerful magical power to forcibly infuse the spirit of fairy spirits from the outside world into the bodies of low-level monks, so that they could obtain the bodies of fairy spirits. However, this method was an act against heaven and would have endless consequences.
Although many monks used this method to get the fairy body as they wished, they later found that when their cultivation reached a certain level, it was difficult to improve one step further.
Another method is to use the method of seizing the body to forcibly seize the body of a fairy for one's own use. However, this method is not very practical and the risk is too high. Even if someone is lucky enough to succeed in seizing the body,
There is no benefit in improving the strength of the entire human race monks.
In addition to these two methods, it is said that some human forces also have some secret methods, but these forces have always been very self-conscious and stingy, and there is no way they would disclose them to the public." The old man with wild hair sighed again.
Judging from the methods he mentioned, Gu Qing could not find one that suited him. It was not easy to find a monk with great supernatural powers in the immortal world, let alone ask him to help him infuse his body. As for seizing the body, Gu Qing
Although Qing is not a pedantic person, he would not do such a thing easily. What's more, the chance of seizing the immortal body of the immortal is extremely slim.
