Chapter 301: Shocked to hear from an old friend, each has his own destiny

The flying boat began to speed towards the mountain again.

This time, Qian Qiancheng looked at the children on the flying boat and said with a serious expression: "Now that you have obtained the fate of becoming an immortal, you must always remember the principle of guarding against arrogance and impatience. Think about your companions when you came here, how many of them left sadly? You must seize this opportunity and don't waste time. There are rules within the Immortal Court that cannot tolerate disturbances. Otherwise, the immortal road you have finally embarked on may still be cut off! Don't take it lightly!"

Before this, even when facing a group of mortal children, he was still able to look kind and benevolent.

Now that the flying boat was really full of immortal seedlings, he became serious instead.

Immediately, the expressions of the children who were full of joy just now became tense, and their excited mood became a little nervous.

Immortal, immortal!

So what is it?

Of course they didn't know that they were just a group of children.

In the mortal world, immortals are elusive and yet supreme. It seems that anything that has something to do with the word "immortal" will have a higher status. Everyone in the world is trying their best to become an immortal.

Now that the legend has become reality, what kind of scenery is waiting for them? "But."

After a brief warning, Qian Qiancheng's expression calmed down and he said with a smile: "As long as you don't violate the rules of the Immortal Court, you don't have to worry too much. You still think highly of me today, but who knows if you can make me bow down to you in the future?"

He spoke frankly and was not ashamed of it.

There are always those who come from behind to surpass the others. He is just a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training. In terms of real strength, he is only slightly stronger than the grandmaster, and that is without risking his life.

"By the way, I haven't asked you what your names are yet."

Qian Qiancheng asked.

"My name is Niulan."

The little guy who had just been "walking" with Gu Dan and was the first to climb onto the platform spoke in a low voice.

This name is quite unpleasant to the ear.

But this is the biggest characteristic of the lower class in this era. He is lucky not to be called Tiezhu, Goudan or Heitun.

A humble name makes it easier to raise a child. This is something that the lower class people believe very much. Even some people from well-off families but whose children are born weak and sickly believe this.

Various vulgar and even slightly disgusting names are inevitable and appear frequently, which is quite common.

"Now that you have entered the immortal path, you should stay away from everything in the mortal world. After you enter the immortal court, you can also think of a new name for yourself."

Qian Qiancheng was quite experienced and said immediately.

As the saying goes, the wind starts from the tip of the green reed, and the waves form from the ripples. The initial starting point does not represent the final achievement, and the secular name can of course be changed.

Otherwise, what if fellow Taoists get together thousands of years later?

Anyone would feel disillusioned if a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage was named "Tie Niu" or "Goudan".

Qian Qiancheng simply chatted with the children for a while. This time he was much gentler. At least he was willing to ask their names.

After getting to know them all, he approached the absent-minded Gu Dan and said, "Although you have low-grade spiritual roots, your wood attribute is close to that of medium-grade spiritual roots, and you are not too old, which is a blessing. Don't waste your energy on this matter.

Talent cannot be changed, there is really no way to change it, people like you and me can only work hard to practice and strive to cross it. "

He has seen many grandmasters. After testing their talents, Gu Dan's performance was considered good.

Some people just started swearing.

Some also require more testing.

Those masters have grown old and have been dominating the mortal world for a long time. They have developed a character that is arrogant and think that they can achieve great things in the immortal world and successfully reach the top. This is simply a huge joke.

How can the martial arts be on par with the immortal way? To speculate on the immortal way with the martial arts is tantamount to seeking death! In other words, there are still a few foundation-building cultivators nowadays. In a few years, what will the grandmaster be? Grandmasters, the times have changed!

"Hmm? You're right."

Gu Dan came back to his senses and continued with his words, saying: "I have been practicing hard for half my life and finally reached the pinnacle of martial arts, but suddenly heard that the immortal path has arrived, and my heart is inevitably moved.

I came here thinking that I would be able to achieve something great, but who would have thought that my talent was just this level, a martial arts master."

Gu Dan shook his head and sighed, "What's the point?"

"Friend Kong Daoyou is wrong."

Qian Qiancheng stroked his beard and said, "Before the immortal path was revealed, the Grandmaster was the top of the world, enjoying all the glory and wealth. Now that the immortal path has just arrived, the Grandmaster can also share a share, but it is not as prominent as before, so there is no need to belittle yourself. With your qualifications, it is enough for you to fight for a chance of promotion in your lifetime, which is a great blessing."

Speaking of this, Gu was worried and said, "I was ignorant in my country before, and I didn't know much about the outside world. I could only see the charm of the immortal way from the stories. But the content is mysterious and different. I hope that Fellow Daoist Qian can help me solve my doubts."

Gu Dan's modesty made Qian Qiancheng's mouth slightly raise. Yes, he was very perceptive. He did not keep the secret and said, "This is not something that can't be said. By analogy, a cultivator in the early stage of Qi training is definitely not as good as a grandmaster. A cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training can already fight with a grandmaster. A cultivator in the late stage of Qi training already has the opportunity to play with a grandmaster."

"Playing with the Grandmaster?"

Gu Dan was curious, this was no longer the same as it was decades ago.

"That's right. This flying boat was finally made in the last few decades, and it's one of the first spiritual tools. The Grandmaster is indeed amazing, could he fly? The immortal way is full of mysteries, and there are hundreds of arts in it. The more the immortal house develops, the more backward the martial arts become. It's not too late for you to come now, but if you wait a few more decades, I'm afraid the Grandmaster won't be able to treat you well."

Qian Qiancheng didn't mind making friends with Gu Dan. After all, the other party's aptitude was quite good among the lower-grade spiritual roots, and he also had the strength of a grandmaster. He should not be underestimated in the Immortal House.

Gu Dan seemed to be thinking about something.

Of course, the Grandmaster cannot fly; at most he can stay in the air for a short time.

Although this flying boat cannot be freely deployed and retracted, and its target is quite large, it has no problem flying into the sky.

With the addition of Taoist magic, it is not impossible to kill the master by kite flying.

However, considering the current speed of the flying boat, the Grandmaster cannot catch up even if he wants to run, so it is naturally not possible.

Only when the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortals are truly developed in the Immortal Pavilion and the Qigong practitioners have enough spiritual weapons to protect themselves, then even the master's ultimate move, the life-threatening blow of igniting flesh and blood, will no longer be a threat, and the situation of offense and defense will naturally become easy.

After all, martial arts cannot be blessed by any other arts.

"Then I wonder what is so great about the foundation-building cultivators?"

Gu Dan asked again, looking as if he was listening attentively.

"Foundation-building monk."

Speaking of this, Qian Qiancheng's eyes revealed a yearning look, and he said: "For a foundation-building cultivator, flying in the air is just a piece of cake! Even a master who ignites his flesh and blood cannot reach that level. Even a cultivator in the early stage of foundation-building has the power to split mountains and cut rivers, which is beyond human power! A few years ago, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, Huang Chao, defeated more than 20 masters by himself without any damage! The style of a foundation-building cultivator is so great that we can't even catch up!"

Qian Qiancheng's eyes were full of surprise and his admiration was beyond words.

Gu Dan was stunned.

Huang Dynasty?! This name sounds a bit too familiar.

However, this name is not particularly strange, and it is possible that there is someone with the same name.

"Oh? That Huang Chao Hall Master is so powerful! I wonder what kind of talent he has and where he came from?"

Gu Dan showed an expression of shock and surprise at the right time, and it was actually somewhat genuine.

When the Yuan River burst its banks, Mo Qiu was furious and went to look for the culprit, but Huang Chao, who was supposed to be with Mo Qiu at the time, disappeared.

It is impossible to say that such a great master was drowned by the bursting of the river, right? Gu Dan had no friendship or hatred with the Huang Dynasty. As long as he did not mess around in the Xia Dynasty, whether he was hiding his identity or traveling around like Yang Zhu, it had nothing to do with him, and he had never paid special attention to it.

Now that I hear it suddenly, I am really curious.

"He is also a genius who switched from being a Grandmaster to cultivating the Way of Immortality. Moreover, with the qualifications of a low-grade spiritual root, he successfully advanced to the foundation-building stage. He is a role model for countless cultivators."

Qian Qiancheng sighed, even if they were all masters, people are different, "but..."

Changing the subject, Qian Qiancheng continued, "It seems that Hall Master Huang Chao has a grudge against the Grandmaster. Among those foundation-building cultivators, Hall Master Huang Chao particularly likes to practice with the Grandmaster. The most profound impression of the foundation-building cultivators is also shown by Hall Master Huang Chao.

As for its origin, it is said to come from a country called 'Da Yue', which is quite far from here, and it takes more than ten years to travel there!"

Dayue, Grandmaster, Huang Chao!

If you put these words together, there will be no mistake.

Now Gu Dan's expression looked really strange.

After the Yuan River burst its banks, the Huang Dynasty disappeared and actually went to the Buzhou Mountains to cultivate immortality? At that time, the International Chamber of Commerce had not yet brought the news of the immortal court on earth, and the masters of the Xia Dynasty had no idea that there were immortals in the mortal world.

Huang Chao must have been following the trajectory of the stars that fell from the sky at night. It is inevitable that the route would deviate, and it is true that it would take more than ten years to travel.

Now seventy years have passed, and he thought that the Huang Dynasty had died of old age, but who would have thought that it would have a second spring in the Buzhou Mountains.

As for the hatred with the Grandmaster , that's nonsense. Huang Tianjun had a great chance to compete for the world of Dayue, but he was directly submerged by the Yuan River. Huang Chao's efforts for half his life went down the drain. How could he not have hatred? This hatred was huge! But those Grandmasters were killed by Gu Dan, so he had no place to avenge his hatred.

"So, a low-grade spiritual root can be promoted to foundation building in more than fifty years?"

After roughly calculating the time, Gu Dan asked.

“Tsk.”

Hearing this, Qian Qiancheng smiled bitterly and said, "No, no, no, Hall Master Huang Chao is different. When he started practicing, he was already quite old and could not afford to waste any time. He was racing against death. Hall Master Huang Chao survived from death. Not long after he reached the late stage of Qi training, he immediately attacked the foundation building stage and successfully advanced."

At this point, Qian Qiancheng said with emotion: "The experience of Master Huang Chao has inspired countless people. But unfortunately, those who followed him, one by one, the lucky ones had their realms dropped sharply and their lifespans were shortened, and those with worse luck died directly, which was a very common thing.

If it were that easy to advance, how could there only be more than thirty foundation-building cultivators in the six immortal workshops? It is nothing more than a glimmer of hope in death."

"There are many realms of immortality, and it is so difficult to break through the foundation. What should we do next?"

Gu Dan said in surprise.

The way of immortality is not the way of martial arts. It simply divides it into warriors, organ training, great organ training and masters.

In the immortal path, above Qi training there is foundation building, above foundation building there is golden elixir, and above golden elixir there is Nascent Soul. The gap between them is much, much larger than that of martial arts.

If every step is so difficult and people have to risk their lives, how can the immortal way prosper? Even raising Gu can't be so cruel! "Hey, you're really right."

Qian Qiancheng said helplessly: "When the immortal path first emerged, many things were not available. For example, the legendary foundation-building pill can greatly help cultivators improve their chances of success, but we don't even have the medicinal materials, so how can we refine it?

A skilled cook cannot cook without rice. For people like us, cultivating immortals with nothing, we have to risk our lives, right? "

This is easy to understand.

The initial arduous work of slash-and-burn farming was naturally difficult.

Do the later generations who use iron tools and oxen to plow also feel that it was too hard and tiring for their ancestors to do so? Do they not want to use iron tools and oxen to plow? It is because they do not have the opportunity to use them! If you do not have enough accumulation, you have to make up for it with your life. This is something that no one can do.

“We have just begun to develop, and we still need the efforts of many fellow Taoists to make the Immortal Court truly prosperous and restore the true glory of the Immortal Dao.

There is a saying that goes, "Don't let a small contribution go unfulfilled!" The immortal path needs every Taoist to work together. This is a matter of benefiting others and yourself. Taoist Kong, please remember this!"

Qian Qiancheng said meaningfully.

"Extremely."

Gu Dan nodded naturally.

During the conversation, the speed of the flying boat finally slowed down.

If we were to calculate the altitude at this moment, it would probably be several thousand feet.

Ordinary mountains would be covered with snow at this time, and the air would be extremely thin, making it impossible for mortals to survive.

Even the Buzhou Mountains were similar, covered in ice and snow.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But there was an almost transparent light curtain rising above the flying boat, blocking the cold from the outside world.

Gu Dan looked around.

Suddenly, there was a large area of ​​lush green in the snowy mountains, which looked particularly pleasing among the deep white and exposed rocks.

A thin layer of light curtain pushed away the cold wind and snow from the outside world, and a huge "open space" appeared in the mountains. The road surface seemed flat, like a wide avenue.

A Taoist temple had been created in the mountains 10,000 meters above the ground! Even if it was a group of masters, it would take them many years of continuous practice to accomplish this feat.

Even so, if you continue to look up, the collapsed Zhoushan Mountain still stretches as far as the eye can see. It is really hard to imagine how magnificent Zhoushan Mountain was when it first stood here.

But now, the original Zhou Mountain has become the Buzhou Mountain Range.

"This is where the Immortal House is."

Qian Qiancheng looked proud.

Being able to open up a fairyland at such an altitude requires great power that is beyond the reach of mortals.

"I'm afraid the price is not small, right?"

Just by taking a look, Gu Dan was secretly amazed.

It is necessary to maintain the formation in the mountains thousands of meters high, and the daily consumption is probably not a small number.

"In order to practice the immortal way, no matter how high the price is, you must grit your teeth and persevere."

Qian Qiancheng turned his gaze to the children on the flying boat and said, "You have also seen that such a magnificent fairyland on earth was obtained at a great cost by our predecessors! It is because of their hard work that you are given the opportunity to practice. Don't forget this favor!"

As they were talking, the flying boat finally approached the light curtain.

Then the flying boat emitted a dim light and merged into the inside.

Coming in on the first day of the new year, it was very different! In the distance, there were trees and plants, green and lush, which must be the most precious treasures in the world. On the hard stone road, the road was clearly divided.

On both sides of the road, there are "fertile fields"! However, those fertile fields are not planted directly on the mountain, but in a layer of black soil, and the growth is quite gratifying.

Beside the fertile fields, there was a person who made hand gestures with his fingers, summoning a small amount of scattered clouds and rain, which fell on the rice fields. It turned out to be a cultivator.

Qian Qiancheng controlled the flying boat and flew towards an open space with a very clear purpose.

"Come down, I will take you to the Deacon Hall to handle your identity first. Remember, once your identity is handled, it means that you have decided to abide by the rules within Ningfang and become a cultivator in Ningfang. There is also a contract that needs to be signed, which must not be violated, otherwise you will become an enemy of all the cultivators in Ningfang.

I'll ask you one last time, are you ready?"

Qian Qiancheng asked with an extremely cautious expression.

The Immortal House is not a charity. How can they spend so much money to open up a place for cultivating immortals in such a high place without asking for anything? Want to cultivate immortals here? Sign a contract first!

You don’t have to sign it. Just find spiritual energy yourself.

Anyway, the six fairy houses are all pretty much the same, there's almost no choice.

Naturally, no one objected.

After arriving at the Deacon's Hall, Qian Qiancheng called someone over.

The cultivator said his surname was Fang, and he started by saying, "In order for the Immortal House to operate normally, the daily expenses required are enormous. This cost must naturally be shared by every cultivator who cultivates in the Immortal House.

Those with inferior spiritual roots need to sign a fifty-year contract to grow spiritual rice, spiritual bamboo and other things, and the Immortal House will take 70% of the profits.

Those with middle-grade spiritual roots need to sign a thirty-year contract, and the rest remain the same.

After signing, those who regret it must pay the outstanding amount and can leave, but they will not be allowed to set foot in Ningfang again for the rest of their lives."

Monk Fang spoke at a very fast speed. Even Grandmaster Gu Dan had difficulty understanding him, not to mention the little guys who were completely confused.

But it doesn't matter, they will figure it out sooner or later.

Immediately afterwards, Monk Fang waved his hand, and a number of contracts appeared in front of the children. He said, "Sign and seal. If you can't write, you can use your fingerprints. Make two copies."

The children who had just arrived didn't even have time to react and signed and sealed in a panic.

"good."

With a wave of his sleeve, he took the signed contract into his hand. Without even glancing at it, Monk Fang just said to Gu Dan, "Come with me."

When the two of them walked inside, Monk Fang said, "Master, if you want to practice in Ningfang, you need to sign a ten-year contract. Do you know that?"

"Is this acceptable?"

Although he had asked this question on the way here, Gu Dan still looked embarrassed at this moment.

"If the Grandmaster becomes a spirit plant husband, he only needs to pay 50% every year for a period of ten years. If you want to develop on your own, it is not impossible. The contract is still ten years, but you must pay enough spirit stones according to the share collected that year, and there must be no delay."

Monk Fang added: "Moreover, if you don't pay this year's share in advance, you can't leave the Immortal House."

The Grandmaster already has the ability to change his appearance and has the possibility of gaining spiritual energy for free.

It’s not that easy to hunt down the Grandmaster.

But since it’s not easy to chase and kill, won’t it be over if I just don’t let you go?

If you break in by force, the formation will detect it. It just depends on whether the Law Enforcement Hall will do anything about it.

Want to cultivate immortality without paying spirit stones?

It's not that easy! "Currently, we only offer these two types of contracts. If you have a mid-level spiritual root and are under 80 years old, you can sign for only five years." Monk Fang added.

"Low-grade spiritual roots."

Gu Dan shrugged slightly.

"That can't be helped."

Monk Fang handed a new contract to Gu Dan, "You can take a look at it first. But I remind you that this is the case for all six immortal houses. Our Ning House is willing to provide the Grandmaster with a second choice, which is already an extra favor. No other place will offer such generous treatment."

Gu Dan: “.”

If you don't marry a spirit plant and pay spirit stones instead, that's considered a good deal? You're really bold!

However, this would indeed be more convenient. If one of the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortals is learned, why would one have to learn to farm like a mortal? Gu Dan picked up the contract and took a look. There were two parts to the agreement. One was that one had to be a spiritual plant husband, work diligently in the fields, and pay 50%. There was a minimum limit, and one had to pay unless one encountered an irreversible disaster.

The second option is to convert the spiritual plants paid by the spiritual plant husband into spiritual stones. The payment can be made at any time of the year, but it must be paid. If not, you cannot leave Ningfang.

If the debt has been owed for a long time, the Law Enforcement Hall will come to help them, which is very thoughtful.

Gu Dan thought for a moment and said, "I choose to pay the spirit stone."

At least paying spirit stones is much more convenient than paying spirit plants.

"Can."

Monk Fang was not surprised at all and nodded happily.

Among the one hundred masters who came here, at least ninety-eight chose to pay spirit stones. After all, these masters who have stood in the world for a long time all look down on farming.

But it is not that easy to master the hundred arts of cultivation. They have to bear it! After signing the contract, Monk Fang handed Gu Dan a token and said, "Grandmasters naturally have generous treatment. At least the cave house here can be lived in for free, but it cannot be inherited by others. After leaving Ningfang, the cave house will automatically return to Ningfang."

Gu Dan took the token and took a look. It was the ordinary cave No. 1734.

Apart from that, there is nothing.

When walking out of the Deacon Hall, Gu Dan held the contract and token and saw Qian Qiancheng patiently teaching the children something.

But he had something to verify at this time, so he naturally declined Qian Qiancheng's idea of ​​keeping him here to listen. He just asked where the mortal cave No. 1734 was, and then left quickly.

When you actually walk into the ordinary cave No. 1734, the token emits a dim light and the cave opens automatically.

When he went in and took a look, Gu Dan was dumbfounded.

Apart from a cushion, the cave was completely empty—and the space was only about ten feet! It was so shabby that it looked like a prison cage! I was afraid that even if I put a bed and a table there wouldn't be enough space for anything else.

"call"

Gu Dan took a deep breath and said, "Good news, at least it's free."

Then he temporarily cleared his mind and closed the cave door.

There was a rare hint of nervousness and excitement.

"50,000-year-old Qingmu Huasheng Jue, let me see what kind of surprise you can bring me! What else is there that I don't know!"
