Chapter 286: Today is different from the past, successfully promoted!

Grandmaster!

This title is not unfamiliar to a very small number of people in the Xia Dynasty.

As long as one successfully becomes a Grandmaster and joins the Xia Dynasty, one will know that there is an existence that towers over all Grandmasters.

His realm is called the Grand Master.

But it was only him. Apart from him, who else could reach that state? Even if he told him all the methods, it would be useless.

Even the masters who have accomplished the task of smelting the five internal organs would have their faces turn pale when they heard these words.

There are many parts that make up a human body, the head and limbs are particularly prominent. But apart from the head, an ordinary person can survive even if all his limbs are broken off with timely treatment.

It is precisely because of this prerequisite that the path of Qi and blood obstruction is possible.

But if all the five internal organs were burned, how could the person still have any chance of survival?

The heart is the one that supplies blood to the body. Once something goes wrong, it will be a death situation for the master, but he can hold on a little longer before death.

A person cannot survive without a heart, so what about the five internal organs?

Gu Dan was able to be promoted to Grand Master on his own, that was his ability, others didn't even dare to have this thought.

Even Xue Wenjian before him, as well as the two masters Tan and Xin, could only take the path of impacting the innate realm, rather than melting the five internal organs to impact the grandmaster realm. This is a very clear example.

If this sentence was not said by Gu Dan, I am afraid no one would believe it.

"Grandmaster? Me?"

Qin Lisheng's expression became particularly interesting. He rarely had such drastic emotional fluctuations. "Can realm be used as a gift?"

"You couldn't do that before, but you can do that now."

Gu Dan nodded slightly.

Qin Lisheng stared at him for a long while, making sure that Gu Dan was not joking, "How sure are you?"

"To say 100% is a bit arrogant."

Gu Dan thought for a moment and said, "Then let's make it 98%. Any less would be disrespectful to me."

"In that case, isn't it not that difficult to become a Grandmaster?"

Qin Lisheng was extremely surprised.

Ninety-eight percent?!

What's the difference between that and a sure success! If a master can break through to a great master, isn't that almost equivalent to the foundation building in the immortal way?

You know, after more than forty years, the number of people who have built the foundation in the entire Buzhou Mountains is no more than one hand, which shows that the path to immortality is not easy.

Those masters of the Xia Dynasty who went to the Buzhou Mountains to seek immortality spent ten years there, but they might not have gained anything. But if they stayed in the Xia Dynasty, they could have made further progress? There was such a good thing!

"It's not difficult to say it's difficult."

Gu Dan smiled, "It's just that no one can do it except me."

Ever since Andy Hui got old, Gu Dan has been thinking a lot about what methods can be used to help people live longer.

But there has never been a better solution.

He is also destined to lose the people around him.

But it's always good to be able to spend more time with each other.

His feelings have not faded yet, and he has not gone far on the road to immortality. If possible, he hopes that the first people around him can live longer and longer.

But there has never been a way to have the best of both worlds.

Until the Qingmu Huasheng Jue breaks through again!

With the infusion of fifty thousand years of lifespan, the Qingmu Huasheng Jue, which broke through again, brought him not only an incarnation within his body, but also many more invisible benefits which were not so obvious but always existed.

For example, when the two masters of the International Chamber of Commerce used the Melting Sect Talisman to deal with Xun Ke and Qin Lisheng, at the moment when the Qingmu Liquid was consumed on a large scale, Gu Dan in the courtyard noticed it at the first time and rushed over.

This is an invisible improvement. Wherever Qingmu Liquid goes, it is equivalent to a pair of "eyes" of Gu Dan, even if these eyes are somewhat passive.

In addition to this, another benefit is that his ability to control the Aoki Liquid has been further improved, and it can be said that he can do it as if it were his own arm.

Now, after so many years of control and training, Gu Dan's manipulation of the Qingmu Liquid itself has reached a superb level.

During the years that he and Gong Shangguo traveled, he had secretly taken action countless times and cured patients without even showing his face.

As a result, his medical skills could only be written in "Shennong's Herbal Classic", and there was no room for him to apply his medical skills.

But this may not be a bad thing. According to the Qingmu Huasheng Jue's requirement for an almost endless lifespan, if one goes to cure illnesses and save lives one by one, even if the seas run dry and the rocks crumble, one may not be able to practice the Qingmu Huasheng Jue to its full potential.

Besides, Gu Dan was well prepared.

In the winter of the twenty-third year of the Xia Dynasty, after Gu Dan broke through the Qingmu Huasheng Jue, he immediately injected a few drops of Qingmu liquid into the bodies of his descendants.

It is now the 48th year of the Xia Dynasty, and a full 25 years have passed! The Qingmu liquid left in their bodies finally naturally infused their vitality into their bodies without causing the irreversible consequence of extreme "ripening" and aging.

If the vitality brought by the Qingmu Liquid given by Gu Dan was divided into one hundred parts, a martial artist like Wang Mang who had mastered the internal organ training would eventually be able to keep twenty parts in his body; an ordinary person like Xiaoying would only be able to keep ten parts.

Only masters like Xun Ke and Qin Lisheng could barely absorb all the power contained in the Qingmu Liquid left by Gu Dan, but there was a limit to it.

According to Gu Dan's understanding of spiritual practice and body cognition, the final conclusion he came to is: Everything has its limits.

Cultivation is a process of constantly expanding your limits.

If an ordinary person is compared to a small teacup, then a martial artist who has mastered the internal organ training would probably be a normal wine bowl, while a master would be a smaller wine jar.

Everything is excessive or insufficient, and good things cannot be eaten all at once.

The plan laid down over the past 25 years has finally come into play.

The vitality of the Qingmu Liquid itself has actually been integrated into Qin Lisheng's five internal organs, but the master's physique is already extremely strong and immune to all diseases, so he did not notice this icing on the cake.

The only person who noticed it was probably Xiaoying - as an ordinary person, it was almost impossible for her to have never had any minor illness in 25 years, even if she was a miracle doctor and knew how to prevent and protect herself.

Gu Dan had never mentioned these concerns for the younger generation, so no one knew what was going on. Gu Dan would not harm them anyway, so they could do whatever they wanted.

Now, Gu Dan can confidently help Qin Lisheng and Xun Ke become grand masters, which is one of the reasons why he wants to stay here.

Before leaving, you must always leave something for this land.

Even if Qin Lisheng and Xun Ke were not the types who liked to fight, without sufficient strength, no matter how correct their morals and ideas were, they would be nothing but empty talk and would be ignored by others.

It is true that a master can travel around the world, but the prerequisite is that he does not fight with other masters.

According to Gu Dan’s philosophy, it is impossible to do such a risky thing without being one step ahead of others.

Unfortunately, Xun Ke and Qin Lisheng are not of this kind of character. Once they have made up their minds, even ten oxen may not be able to pull them back. Unless they can be convinced, the only way to win is by force.

Gu Dan originally thought that if he waited for the next breakthrough of Qingmu Liquid, the effect would be even better. At that time, he would be able to say that he had 100% confidence and crushed 98% of the time.

Anyway, the master has a longer lifespan, so Xun Ke and Qin Lisheng should be able to wait.

But since Qin Lisheng was going to travel around the world to promote his ideas, he would have to lose so much success rate in vain and had to tell them about the surprise in advance.

"In that case, it would be disrespectful to refuse."

Qin Lisheng was delighted and bowed to Gu Dan with his fists clasped.

Saying thank you to each other would seem too polite.

After so many years of getting along, who doesn't know each other's virtue? There is no need to say more words of gratitude. Gu Dan is willing to help him break through to the Grandmaster level, which is naturally an appreciation of his ability and skills.

What's more, Gu Dan is of the same generation as Mo Qiu. It is actually a very normal thing in this era to support the younger generation.

But this kind of support has probably never happened before.

"Call Wang Mang, Xun Ke and the others over and let them take a look."

Gu Dan said.

Qin Lisheng was the first, and Xun Ke was naturally the second.

As Wang Mang was the Emperor of Xia, he certainly had to come and take a look at the fact that two great masters were about to be born in the Xia Dynasty.

The Grandmaster is very fast.

It didn't take much time for the three of them to return to the Gu family courtyard.

To Gu Dan's surprise, Wang Mang actually came over lying on Xun Ke's back.

Xun Ke doesn't look that old. To be precise, he even looks a little younger than Gu Dan after he disguised himself. He looks to be only in his forties.

But Wang Mang was already a real old man, and carrying him like this was like a young son carrying his elderly father.

"It came quite quickly."

Gu Dan glanced at Wang Mang on Xun Ke's back with a strange expression.

"Brother Gu, is what you said true?"

Wang Mang was completely unaware of Gu Dan's wild thoughts. He was completely immersed in joy. He excitedly jumped off Xun Ke's back, ran swiftly to Gu Dan's side, and grabbed his hand. He was extremely excited. How could he still look like an old man who was unable to move?

"When have I ever lied to you?"

Gu Dan pulled his hand away and scolded, "How can you be so impetuous when you are so grown up?"

"Grandmaster, that's a Grandmaster!!!"

Wang Mang opened his eyes wide and gave Gu Dan a big hug without restraining his expression.

How important is the Grand Master?

In this world, apart from Gu Dan, probably no one understands better than Wang Mang.

Why did the Xia Dynasty become the most powerful country in the surrounding area?

Is it because he works hard to govern the country?

Is it because the Mohist school is consistent?

Or was it due to the hard work of up-and-coming talents such as Xun Ke? Of course, this was indeed part of the reason.

But the biggest reason why the Xia Dynasty was able to become so powerful was, of course, because it had a great master!

Because of the Grand Master, the Xia Dynasty was saved from suffering.

Because of the Grand Master, the Xia Dynasty received compensation from the surrounding countries.

Because of the Grand Master, no country around dared to provoke Xia Kingdom in anything. They would give in if they were polite, and would accept the punishment if they were rude! Could it be that this was because they suddenly became more educated? Ten years ago, the news of the International Chamber of Commerce was sent to Daqi and other countries by Wang Mang.

According to the spies lurking in Daqi, all the masters of Daqi are ready to leave, but one of them is already very old and has only five years left to live.

In other words, there was not even enough time to reach the Buzhou Mountains, so they had to stay.

At that time, Da Qi didn't know that there were still masters in the Xia Dynasty.

So Emperor Daqi secretly consulted with the national guardian master, saying that you can't leave anyway, and all the masters around you have left. In other words, you are now the best in the world here!

Look at the Xia Dynasty, how prosperous it was!

It has grown strong by sucking our blood over the past forty years!

There are immortal ways to cultivate in Buzhou Mountain, and the masters of Xia Dynasty are so young that they will definitely not stay. In this case, after they leave, I will trouble you again. Before he could finish his words, the Emperor Daqi was captured by the old master and personally escorted to Xia Dynasty to clear himself of any connection.

At that time, Gu Dan had already left the imperial capital with Gong Shangguo and had no idea about this farce.

Yeah, it's a farce.

Because the old master was afraid, he had seen Gu Dan's strength.

He also knew that Gu Dan was someone who should not be provoked.

Such a strong man had enough heart, so he could still spare their lives at that time.

But this does not mean that he is easy to bully, as evidenced by the deaths of several masters on the banks of the Yuan River.

Even if they really left the Xia Dynasty, couldn't they come back to visit?

Even if he dies of old age by then, his descendants will still be there!

Forget about this kind of thing where your grave will be dug up and your bones will be crushed to dust.

An emperor who can have such dangerous thoughts must not be allowed to stay.

The disasters outside the Xia Dynasty were eliminated unknowingly because of Gu Dan's remaining influence.

But this incident also served as a wake-up call to Wang Mang.

The Grandmaster's disaster is possible.

When there are many Grandmasters, it is possible; when there are few Grandmasters, it is more likely to happen! What if there is a Grandmaster who is greedy for the rights of the mortal world and does not want to follow the immortal path? Isn't the powerful Xia Dynasty the best goal? It is ten thousand times better to occupy the magpie's nest than to work hard to conquer the country! After all, fighting with the Grandmaster to death is not as happy as killing the emperor and taking the throne yourself.

In order to prevent such things from happening before, even if the Grand Master was not needed, all countries would treat the Grand Master as a guest of honor, just to protect the country.

Nowadays, the masters have traveled far away, and the masters who really remain in the world have become only a few or three, which is not as good as before.

It also means that the protection of the royal families of various countries has reached an unprecedented low! It is impossible to have more than 10,000 troops protecting you all the time, right? First ask the ladies in the harem if they agree.

A thief can only steal for a thousand days, so you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days!

The position of the ruler of a country is worthless to people like Gu Dan, but for those who are keen on power and status, the temptation is too great! Without the protection of the master, and there are still masters in the outside world, the throne is not like a child holding gold!

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The Xia Dynasty now has Gu Dan to protect it, so there is naturally nothing to worry about.

But Wang Mang realized very early that Gu Dan was no longer on the same path as them.

He even speculated that Gu Dan's "aging" might be the result of his own disguise, but everyone knew it.

If such a person had stayed in the Xia Dynasty, he would be like a dragon swimming in shallow water.

Today, the old friends are still here, and they still have feelings for each other and are reluctant to leave.

But everyone will grow old.

Andy Hui and Gong Shangguo have both passed away due to old age.

He doesn't have much time left.

When their generation had disappeared, what reason did Gu Dan have to stay in the Xia Dynasty?

Wang Mang already felt guilty because Gu Dan did not leave ten years ago.

He couldn't possibly beg Gu Dan to protect Xia Chao before he died, right? That was too shameless, he couldn't say it.

After all, feelings can be consumed.

The real and normal solution is naturally to have someone take over.

Who can take over from a Grand Master?

There is only one other grandmaster!

Gu Dan's news can be said to have given Wang Mang a huge surprise, even more than the real parties involved, Xun Ke and Qin Lisheng! The Xia Dynasty, the successor has someone to protect it! In order to get here quickly, he even asked Xun Ke to carry him on his back, just to confirm the good news as soon as possible.

"I can't help you, no matter how happy you are."

Gu Dan patted Wang Mang on the shoulder and reminded him.

Qingmu Liquid is not a real panacea after all. It can help people break through to the grandmaster level, but Qingmu Liquid cannot help with the difficulty of the five elements interaction that the grandmaster has to face.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I'm already very happy that someone can take over Brother Gu's place."

Wang Mang said without any disappointment.

"Why, you're glad I've been replaced, huh?"

Gu Dan pretended to be angry.

"I did not mean that."

Wang Mang waved his hands quickly.

"There's no time to lose. Now that we've made a decision, shall we get started?"

Qin Lisheng spoke up and interrupted the two people's quarrel.

He has a lot of time, but he also has a lot of meaningful things to do, so he can't afford to waste it.

The world may indeed not lack a master, or even a grand master, but when someone works hard for it, those who are helped will naturally know their importance.

This is the meaning that Mohism and even Qin Lisheng found for themselves.

The Grand Master has a longer lifespan and greater strength, so he can naturally accomplish this task better.

Therefore, he couldn't wait.

"no problem."

Gu Dan's expression also turned serious. After all, he was only 98% sure. He couldn't be negligent at all and had to go all out.

Melting the five internal organs is different from seeing obstacles in Qi and blood.

You can slowly work on overcoming the obstruction of Qi and blood, and polish it day by day until one day you succeed and the true Qi will flow naturally.

It can’t smelt the five internal organs.

Just leaving a piece of the heart missing and forgetting about it? How is that possible!

To melt the five internal organs is like shooting the arrow without turning back.

It has to be done in one go, with no chance to proceed step by step.

As the five most important organs in the body, we cannot be careless in the slightest.

"What you need to do is to use your true qi to refine the five internal organs. Don't be too fast or too slow. A person's energy is limited. You must use your true qi to refine the five internal organs before your energy is exhausted. Leave the rest to me."

Gu Dan reminded.

He can help others become grandmasters. A more accurate statement should be that he can help reshape the five internal organs after they have been smelted, but he cannot use his own true energy to help with the smelting.

The significance of Qi smelting lies in the perfect match between the body and the Qi. When necessary, part of the body can even "burn" to transform into Qi, which is the masters' ultimate killing move, a fatal blow.

This step can only be done by yourself, no one else can do it.

Even if you have help from your parents, this step cannot be omitted.

"good."

The door to the courtyard was closed. In the yard, Qin Lisheng sat cross-legged and silently regulated his breathing.

It takes about a cup of tea.

"I'm ready."

Qin Lisheng opened his eyes, his dark face full of determination.

"Anything you want to say? After all, you're only 98% sure."

Gu Dan asked.

".Then I'll start."

Obviously Qin Lisheng didn't appreciate this joke. He closed his eyes and suddenly the aura of a master rose up! Gu Dan's face became serious, and at this moment, all his divine thoughts were released and enveloped him.

He forcefully pierced Qin Lisheng's blood and qi, which caused him to feel a slight pain in his head - even though his strength was one major realm ahead of Qin Lisheng, and he had practiced for so many years, it would still be quite dangerous for his spiritual power to force its way into a territory that did not belong to him, and that had an owner.

Fortunately, Qin Lisheng did not resist, so he could use his divine sense to observe the situation inside his body.

This is the safest method, bar none, other than waiting for the next promotion of Qingmu Huasheng Jue.

If you don't take action, it's fine. But if you do take action, you must be fully confident.

Ninety-eight percent likely, it was actually a reminder to Qin Lisheng not to slack off, although given Qin Lisheng's personality, it would hardly be of any use.

When Gu Dan injected his spiritual thoughts into his body, Qin Lisheng had already begun to attack his five internal organs.

The true energy is like a tide or a blade. It is no longer flowing gently, but turns into the sharpest blade, cutting towards its own vulnerable parts.

Moreover, this kind of smelting is by no means as quick as cutting the Gordian knot and stirring it into a mess. On the contrary, the true Qi needs to be extremely "fine", so fine that it can be damaged, and then its function can be forcibly replaced by the true Qi, and then the flesh and blood can be reshaped. The new flesh and blood will naturally become one with the true Qi, and there is no difference between them.

Only in this way can it be called smelting! The moment the true qi began to destroy and even replace the five internal organs, Qin Lisheng couldn't help but groan.

In a very short time, a layer of blood and sweat covered his pores.

Gu Dan did not make any move.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths.

After three breaths, Gu Dan finally swung out a green light from his palm, which fell into Qin Lisheng's body and gradually spread along the path of the true qi.

This is an extremely boring, yet extremely dangerous process.

The boredom lies in repetition; the danger lies in not allowing even the slightest mistake.

Time passes slowly.

The scorching sun hanging high in the sky slowly sets.

A winding river of blood appeared on the ground of the Gu family courtyard.

Qin Lisheng's entire body had been infected red, except for his dark cheeks, which looked particularly haggard and pale.

The eyebrows that would not tremble even if attacked by thousands of blades were now deeply wrinkled, and the facial features were almost distorted, which was shocking to look at.

Places that are out of reach for ordinary people are often remote and dangerous.

The same is true for spiritual practice.

As the bright moon gradually climbs up the sky, its light shines on everything.

There were already a few drops of sweat on Gu Dan's forehead, and he was mentally exhausted.

Finally, when another green light fell on Qin Lisheng's body, Gu Dan stopped.

The Gu family courtyard was extremely quiet.

Neither Xun Ke nor Wang Mang dared to speak at this moment, for fear of disturbing the two. Even their breathing was deliberately suppressed to the limit. They could only look at Gu Dan with some questioning intent.

Gu Dan nodded slightly.

A smile appeared on Wang Mang's face, but he immediately covered his mouth and pointed at Qin Lisheng who was still sitting cross-legged on the ground without any movement.

Gu Dan just smiled.

About a quarter of an hour passed.

There was finally some movement in Qin Lisheng's body.

“Boom.”

The sound was faint and vague at first.

“Boom.”

It becomes more and more vigorous and cannot be ignored.

“Boom!”

It was like the beating of a muffled drum, echoing in all directions.

“Boom!”

It seemed as if a ferocious beast from ancient times was gradually awakening, shaking the four directions! Qin Lisheng opened his eyes.

The second great master of the Xia Dynasty was born.

"Come on, let's have some fun."

Gu Dan stretched out his hand and said with a smile.
