"Congratulations, host, for the successful transfer of 10 years of cultivation. You have received 120 years of cultivation as compensation for the critical hit, and have also received an additional 3 chance to win a lottery."
Gu Changqing immediately sensed that another large ball of light had appeared in the system space, which was the compensation he received for transferring his power to General Manager Fang.
Fang Zongshi's dantian had a small capacity, only able to receive eight years of cultivation, but Gu Changqing forcibly transferred ten years to him, causing his dantian to burst on the spot.
"Haha, 120 years of cultivation, awesome, awesome to the point of numbness!!" Gu Changqing was overjoyed, but his face remained calm and composed.
Elder Shouge was beaming with joy. This young man had just passed on his skills to him, saving him twenty years of arduous cultivation. Such an extraordinary person! He should befriend him well in the future.
"Elder, if there's nothing else, then this disciple will take his leave." With this matter settled, Gu Changqing clasped his hands in a fist salute and prepared to find a place to absorb cultivation.
"Wait a minute," the elder guarding the pavilion suddenly called out to him, and asked, "Young Gu, I can't help but ask, why are you so keen on passing on your skills? It's a harmful thing with no benefit whatsoever."
Gu Changqing's gaze sharpened, but he didn't care much. What might have been harmful to others would have been detrimental to him, but for him, it was a huge win!
However, the elder guarding the pavilion meant well. After thinking for a moment, he stroked his chin and smiled, "Elder, I heard some rumors a few days ago that the six major demonic sects of the Desolate Region will invade our Great Chu in three months. My cultivation is low, and I know I can't be of much help then, so I might as well sacrifice myself for others..."
"What? The six major demonic sects of the Desolate Region have invaded? How is this possible!"
Elder Shouge's eyelids twitched in surprise.
Since Gu Changqing was only a nominal disciple, and he only met him once at the disciple-acceptance ceremony, Gu Changqing did not tell him about this matter, but only told some other disciples.
"Yes, Elder, you should quickly mobilize everyone to make preparations to resist the Demonic Sect. Also, report this matter to the Sect Master and make arrangements in advance. Otherwise, it will be too late once the war starts..." Gu Changqing said quickly.
For a moment, the elder guarding the pavilion remained silent, then stroked his beard and calmly smiled, “That’s unlikely. Why would those demons from the desolate region set their sights on a remote and barren land like our Great Chu? If they’re going to fight, they’d fight a wealthy land like Great Jin. Besides, our Great Chu has six major sects guarding it. We’re poor but strong. Why would they target us? You must have misheard.”
“You heard me right, it’s absolutely true,” Gu Changqing said, shaking his head.
"Haha, you're still too young. You don't understand how deceitful rumors can be. Back in the day, I believed in these rumors and ended up with a huge scar on my head that hasn't healed yet. Alright, what I'm trying to say is that rumors are unreliable. Don't waste your time on them. I have a good thing for you to do."
Elder Shouge refused to believe it no matter what, and laughed.
Seeing that the other party really didn't believe him, Gu Changqing didn't bother to say anything more and leaned closer to ask, "What good thing do you want to give me?"
"You've probably heard that our sect used to have an alchemist who retired after an accident. Actually, he had a mishap during his cultivation, which greatly diminished his strength, leaving him no choice but to retire. He now lives in Tianxing City. Why don't you pass on some of your skills to him? You should understand what it means to befriend an alchemist. First, you certainly won't lack pills. Second, if the six major demonic sects really invade, you'll need pills. Not to mention, you'll need pills when you travel outside. I'll introduce him to you. What do you think?" The elder guarding the pavilion looked at him and said sincerely.
Gu Changqing was overjoyed.
Alchemists, aren't they just walking money?
"Young Gu, you know how prestigious an alchemist is. Our sect only has one, and it's only because I have some connections with him that he would even meet with a mere outer disciple like you, let alone a nominal one," Elder Shouge added, his words filled with admiration for the alchemist.
Even without Elder Shouge saying it, Gu Changqing knew how prestigious alchemists were. Moreover, this was a double blessing for him. By passing on his skills to that alchemist, he could not only befriend him but also obtain a large number of elixirs and miraculous medicines. Haha, just thinking about it was exhilarating!
"Thank you for your kind offer, Elder. I will respectfully accept your offer." Gu Changqing cupped his hands slightly.
"Yes, I'll call him over right away." The elder guarding the pavilion took out a communication talisman from his robes and spoke a few words into it.
Not long after, a whistling sound came from the sky outside, echoing high above. A white-robed old man rode a crane and flew swiftly over.
Immediately, excited discussions arose throughout the sect.
"Look, everyone! It's actually that legendary alchemist from the sect!"
"What brings this esteemed person here? Whom is he seeing?"
A moment later, the crane descended from the sky and landed at the entrance of the outer gate's scripture pavilion.
The old man in white stepped down from the crane, cupped his hands in greeting, and said with a smile, "Old friend, how have you been?"
"Long time no see. The young friend I mentioned in the letter is so powerful that even I am astonished. With him passing on his skills to you, you can save yourself at least five years of arduous training!"
The elder guarding the pavilion said happily. He didn't say ten years directly because he wasn't sure how many years the young Gu would pass on to the other party.
"What! Five years of arduous training? Is this true?" The white-robed elder's pupils shrank in disbelief.
Five years of arduous practice means meditating from dawn till dusk for five years, but the other party actually generously passed it on to me. Holy crap, is this for real?
"Where is he? Take me to see him quickly!" The old man in white suddenly perked up and said with a ruddy complexion.
"This is that young friend. He is kind-hearted and speaks eloquently. You'll know once you get to know him." A moment later, in the pavilion, the elder guarding the pavilion solemnly introduced the white-robed old man.
The old man in white looked at Gu Changqing with shining eyes, feeling both surprised and delighted. He quickly cupped his hands and said, "Young friend, you are truly blessed by heaven. It is a great fortune for our Qingyun Sect."
Gu Changqing looked closely and saw that the old man was dressed in white like snow, with white hair and a youthful face, and had the demeanor of a hermit.
He was immediately overjoyed.
I'm sure I'll reap another huge reward this time!
"Walking money delivered to my door, haha." Gu Changqing muttered to himself, then stroked his chin and laughed, "Without further ado, senior, please sit down. This disciple will now impart my skills to you."
The old man in white was overjoyed, but he still maintained the demeanor of a superior man and sat down in front of Gu Changqing.
"Young friend, your selflessness is truly admirable. Without further ado, if you can transfer five years of your cultivation to me, you can name any reward you desire, and I will grant it!"
