He actually hoped that Chen Yuhe could help. If it was the Huayu Temple twenty years ago, she could indeed help. Unfortunately, now, asking her to help would simply embarrass her.
In fact, faced with such a dilemma, even he himself didn't know what to do and could only make a few excuses.
"Master Gu..." At this time, the two old men spoke in unison.
"Master Tang, Master Feng, do you want to persuade me too? If so, then you can leave too. We have been friends for so many years, and I don't want to break up with you." Gu Qingyang looked at him sadly.
"Master Gu, who do you think we are? The Long family is not here to propose marriage, they are clearly here to humiliate the Gu family. It's nothing more than you refused to work for the Long family back then, and they are taking the opportunity to take revenge. If this kind of thing happened to us, we would never agree to it, so how could we possibly persuade you?" The two said seriously.
After hearing what he said, Gu Qingyang's expression finally looked a little better.
"But if this continues, the Gu family will be forced into a desperate situation sooner or later. We have to think of a way." Then, the head of the Tang family said with a worried look on his face.
"What other methods can we use? We have thought of all the methods we can think of. This time, we wanted to take the opportunity of the sacrificial ceremony to invite everyone over and shamelessly ask for your help, but you have already seen the result." Gu Qingyang said with a long sigh.
Now that he had said this, he could no longer hide anything in front of Shen Yuhe.
Patriarch Tang and Patriarch Feng also lowered their heads and sighed. They had not expected that those patriarchs would repay kindness with enmity in such a way.
"Master Gu, you know the situation of our two families. We can't be of much help. Take these banknotes and use them for emergency. If they are not enough, we will think of another way." Tang Feng and the others took out a stack of banknotes at the same time and pushed them in front of Gu Qingyang.
"What are you doing?" Gu Qingyang looked at the two in surprise.
"If it weren't for the help from the head of the Gu family back then, our two families wouldn't be where we are today. Call it a thank you gift or a repayment, anyway, it's our heartfelt token of our gratitude," said the head of the Tang family.
"No, your two families have suffered because of me, and your life is not easy. Take it back." Gu Qingyang refused and pushed the banknote back.
"Master Gu, if you consider us as friends and still remember our nearly hundred-year friendship, then accept it. If you don't consider us as friends, then we won't say anything and will leave now." Master Feng said firmly.
Looking at the two people's resolute expressions, Gu Qingyang's eyes welled up with tears. As the saying goes, time reveals a person's true character. Although some people betrayed their vows, there are still people who stayed by his side.
Not only him, but even Mu Hanyan was slightly moved. Speaking of which, the priests of the Divine Continent were far more powerful than the cultivators of the Holy Court Continent. Knowing that the Long and Gu families were at odds, they still spared no effort to support the Gu family. This was truly commendable.
"I know your intentions, but what can we do even if we have this money? The Gu family will be doomed sooner or later, so why should we drag you down?" Gu Qingyang said helplessly.
Tang and Feng remained silent. They knew that the current problem could not be solved with a little money, but apart from this, they could not help in any other way.
"In fact, the Gu family is in its current situation because of the Phoenix Nirvana Pill. As long as the head of the Gu family can refine another Phoenix Nirvana Pill, all problems will be solved." Mu Hanyan suddenly said.
"I understand what the head priest said. If I could refine it, why would I have waited until today?" Gu Qingyang shook his head. He didn't need anyone to remind him of this truth. Everyone knew that if he could refine the Phoenix Nirvana Pill again, countless priest families would come to him for help. Even the Long family, the most powerful priest family in Tianyang City, would not dare to offend him easily. The problem was that he couldn't refine it.
"Master Gu, you have achieved a lot in the past. You just failed a few times later, but there is still a chance of success." Mu Hanyan said with some confusion.
"Yes, why don't we try it again? If we succeed, the Gu family will be able to turn things around. If we fail, that's all. Let's just consider it a gamble." The head of the Tang family also said.
"Yes, try again. Tell us what herbs you need. We will help you get them even if we have to sell our house." said the head of the Feng family.
"It's not a problem of herbs. I had the same idea as you, so I prepared all the herbs a long time ago." Gu Qingyang said.
"What's the problem? Could it be that your cultivation was damaged after you recovered from your illness last time?" The head of the Tang family guessed.
"It's not a matter of cultivation." Gu Qingyang shook his head and said as if he had made up his mind, "In fact, the most important thing in refining this Phoenix Nirvana Pill is not the medicinal materials, nor the cultivation, but this."
Having said that, Gu Qingyang took out a crystal stone that was completely red.
"What is this?" Patriarch Tang and Patriarch Feng both looked puzzled. They were somewhat experienced, but had never seen a crystal like this before.
"This was found together with the recipe for the Phoenix Nirvana Pill. According to the recipe, it's called Fire Accumulation Stone, which is also a kind of meteorite gold, but it's extremely rare. The method of refining the Phoenix Nirvana Pill is extremely complicated. Whether relying on ordinary charcoal fire or the fire of law cast by divine magic, it is difficult to succeed. The flame energy contained in this Fire Accumulation Stone is completely different from the two types I mentioned before. It is controlled by divine thoughts and is far more flexible and changeable than the fire of law cast by divine magic. Only with it can the Phoenix Nirvana Pill be refined." Gu Qingyang said.
"Is it because the energy in this Fire Stone is insufficient, that's why we keep failing?" asked the Tang Family Master. Meteorite rocks have limited energy, and presumably this Fire Stone is no exception.
"No, it's strange to say, ever since I got the Fire Stone, the energy in it has never diminished, but every time I use it, the difficulty of using it increases a bit. Now even if I use all my spiritual power, it is difficult to use the flame in it at will. How can I succeed in refining the Phoenix Nirvana Pill?" Gu Qingyang shook his head and said.
"Is there such a strange thing?" The head of the Feng family took the Fire Stone from Gu Qingyang's hand in surprise, looked at it over and over for a long time, but could not figure out what it was.
The head of the Tang family then took it, but he looked at it with confusion, and finally it returned to Gu Qingyang's hands.
"Master Gu, can you let me see this Fire Stone?" Mu Hanyan was also a little curious. She had never heard of such a strange meteorite gold.
Gu Qingyang handed the Fire Stone to her. Although Mu Hanyan was young, she was the chief priestess of the Huayu Temple after all. He did not dare to underestimate her, but hoped that she could help him answer his questions.
