Chapter 310 Wanted!
This is a real old acquaintance from the Xia Dynasty, whom I haven't seen for many years.
Nearly forty years have passed since Qingpingzi and others first arrived at the Buzhou Mountains.
After not seeing each other for such a long time, Zhuang Sheng seemed to be much more mature. He was wearing a white robe, sitting there quietly and peacefully, reading a book in his hands - he must have loved reading very much, as he had done in the Xia Dynasty, and he was still like this when he came to the Buzhou Mountains.
Gu Dan had greeted him a few times.
It's just that people are close and distant, and Gu Dan didn't deliberately inquire about the whereabouts of those people from the Xia Dynasty who went to the Buzhou Mountains, nor did he intend to have any deliberate contact with them.
If you meet, it is fate; if you don’t meet, it means that fate has ended.
However, since Zhuang Sheng could be seen in the Ningfang Law Enforcement Hall, it seemed that Qingpingzi and his group had all arrived here.
"Oh, is this Master Kong who attacked the hall master back then?"
When Gu Dan walked in, he could see others, and others could naturally see him as well.
Someone immediately greeted me, but the voice didn't seem very friendly.
"My name is Kong Zhai, nice to meet you fellow Taoists."
Gu Dan acted as if he didn't hear anything and greeted his colleagues very kindly.
This was his first time attending an internal meeting of the Law Enforcement Hall after joining the hall three years ago. Except for two people, it was the first time for everyone else to see him.
"Huh? There's a bit of spiritual energy fluctuation. It seems like you haven't been just drawing a salary for the past three years, and you haven't fallen behind in your cultivation!"
One of them glanced at Gu Dan and spoke.
Practicing Qi is a process that accumulates over time. Kong Zhai's talent is only that of a low-grade spiritual root, but he has been able to experience some fluctuations in spiritual energy in just three years. It is obvious that he has not been lazy and has been practicing diligently.
"Thank you for your care, Master."
Gu Dan bowed his hands without any anger, nor did he explain anything, pretending not to hear those harsh words.
"alright."
Seeing his subordinates venting their anger for a few words, but being pushed back by Gu Dan in a few words, Huang Chao, who was sitting in the main seat, finally spoke up and said to Gu Dan, "I told him to rest and recuperate. It's his ability that he could stay still for three years."
Although spiritual practice should be a kind of enjoyment, if the same enjoyment lasts too long, it becomes a torture.
It is not easy for a Qigong practitioner to persist in practicing for several months without wavering. After all, humans are not practice machines, and few people can remain calm all the time.
Huang Chao saw some of himself in Gu Dan, so he actually admired him very much.
He dares to throw punches at strong enemies, seizes opportunities immediately, and tries his best when conditions are favorable. Isn’t this exactly how he is when he hasn’t grown up yet? Seeing the shadow of his youth in others, it’s inevitable that he will feel a little bit of care.
As expected, with Huang Chao's words, the original criticisms against Gu Dan came to an end.
Gu Dan did not join in the fun, nor did he try to get close to anyone. He found an inconspicuous corner and stood there, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get down to business."
After the scene gradually fell silent, Huang Chao spoke slowly.
Zhuang Sheng also put down the book in his hand at the right time.
"A while ago, a foundation-building cultivator in the Fire Workshop was attacked and severely injured. He died half a month later."
Huang Chao looked around and spoke in a calm voice.
Although many people already knew the news, some slight agitation was inevitable.
Foundation building cultivator, foundation building master cultivator! This is the strongest realm at this time.
It represents the highest combat power among the six immortal pavilions.
The foundation-building monks were attacked and killed, and a thunderbolt struck everyone's head.
Even Gu Dan couldn't help but become more serious when he heard the news.
"According to the investigation within the Fire House, the perpetrators were seven arrogant monks who were at the late stage of Qi training and had the bodies of Grandmasters. They secretly ambushed and killed the Foundation Establishment monk who was away, hoping to obtain something valuable enough to seek the hope of being promoted to the Foundation Establishment stage."
Huang Chao said calmly and waved his hand.
Immediately, someone distributed the files that had been sorted out to everyone.
Gu Dan read it carefully.
The Foundation Establishment cultivator who was assassinated was an elder of the Lingzhen Hall in the Fire House - the Fire House was the first immortal house established in the Buzhou Mountains and had the most Foundation Establishment cultivators, so a Foundation Establishment cultivator could only be an elder.
A while ago, it was said that the research on spiritual medicines within the Fire Shop had made great progress, and there was even a spiritual medicine that was the main ingredient needed for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
So the seven audacious and arrogant monks decided to take action against the elders within Lingzhen Hall.
Others may not know the exact news, but how could Zhuji not know?
While the foundation-building cultivator was out wandering in the Buzhou Mountains, the seven people who were well prepared attacked together, and indeed caused him to suffer a great loss.
But the foundation-building cultivator was not someone to be trifled with. He endured the attacks of seven people and returned to the Fire Workshop.
Unfortunately, his injuries were too severe and had damaged his root. No medicine could cure him and he died unwillingly.
According to the lifespan of a foundation-building cultivator, he could have lived for at least another hundred years, but he was killed just like that.
“Of the seven cultivators who took action, six have been killed, and the other has been ordered to be killed by the Fire Shop. If anyone finds him, there will be a huge reward.
Those who discover the trace will be rewarded with 100 spirit stones; those who find the exact whereabouts will be rewarded with 500 spirit stones; those who can capture him will be rewarded with an earth-level cave."
Huang Chao said slowly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the breathing of everyone present became heavier.
Earth-level cave!!!
That is the ultimate configuration inside the Immortal House now. Only a very few people can enjoy it. If you can live in it all the time, even if you are a person with low-grade spiritual roots, you may be able to compete with the high-grade spiritual roots in the yellow-level area in terms of cultivation speed! The cultivation speed represents the real strength. In the world of cultivating immortals, the cave is not just a place to stay, but also the foundation of life! The fundamental reason why the Immortal House can play the system of standard spirit stones is that it directly controls the ownership of the cave. Since the cultivators are greedy, they can only buy it with standard spirit stones or make great contributions.
And now, the opportunity to make great contributions has come.
If you capture a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training, you will get a ground-level cave! This reward is really generous - you know, a grandmaster can burn his flesh and blood to fight a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training.
As long as you capture it before its flesh and blood is completely burned, it will be a sure win, and the consumption will be enough to be completely compensated by the reward!
Gu Dan looked at the name of the wanted monk, Yu Qing.
There are also very detailed portraits and origins on it.
But these are just auxiliary functions. Who doesn’t change their appearance when going out?
If you really want to find someone based on the portrait, it would be easier to capture a cultivator in the late Qi training stage.
However, Yu Qing is not someone who can be easily dealt with. Not only does he have the strength of a late stage Qi training person, he is also a Grandmaster. If he really has to fight alone, he is not afraid of the Grandmaster burning his flesh and blood, unless it is a round-robin battle.
"According to his accomplice's confession before his death, Yu Qing had been hit by a Foundation Establishment cultivator and must have been injured. Even if he managed to escape, his strength would have been severely damaged. Even if he cannot capture him, as long as he keeps fighting for a while and waits for reinforcements to arrive, he will be rewarded handsomely!
You are all the backbone of the Law Enforcement Hall, and you are extremely powerful. Fire House Master Feng Qian implores us to strengthen management here, strictly check outsiders, and immediately arrest those whose identity tokens do not match. "
After saying this, Huang Chao clapped his hands, and someone immediately came in with a cart filled with a mountain of spiritual stones. "Since we have to make the brothers work harder, we should also be compensated. These spiritual stones are just a token of our appreciation. Don't slack off."
"Oh, how can this be so embarrassing!"
"The six immortal houses are meant to prosper together and suffer together! How can we allow a lunatic like Yu Qing to act recklessly?"
"The hall master is open-minded! Then we will give Feng Qian some face and investigate severely!"
After getting the spirit stones, many cultivators in the Law Enforcement Hall were filled with joy.
Earth-level caves are too far away. Few people dare to think about them. They are not much different from pie in the sky.
But the Lingshi was actually in his hands, which was a real benefit! No one would like a leader who only gave empty promises but no real benefits, but Huang Chao did a great job in this matter.
A man who eats someone's food should be grateful, and a man who takes someone's favor should be merciful.
Even for those who have no idea about the unrealistic earth-level cave dwelling, the spirit stones have been collected, and a strict investigation for a period of time is inevitable.
Otherwise, if you just take the benefits and do nothing, I won’t come to you again.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The spirit stones were distributed one by one, and even Gu Dan, who was drawing a salary without doing anything, got a share. There was no reduction in the amount given to anyone because of their low strength, short time at work, or their slacking off. Everyone was treated equally.
After counting, there are a total of fifteen spiritual stones, which is equivalent to their salary for more than half a year! The six immortal houses do not have any superior-subordinate relationship. I think Feng Qian has spent a lot of blood to ask Ningfang for help, just to set an example.
But no matter what, it is rare to find a leader who can distribute some of the benefits he has obtained to his subordinates.
It is no wonder that people in the Law Enforcement Hall often mention Huang Chao with admiration and affection. Even Gu Dan has to look up to him.
"alright."
After distributing the spirit stones, Huang Chao spoke again, without any hesitation: "Everyone, go and do your own things, just pay attention, Kong Zhai will stay for a while."
The monks in the Law Enforcement Hall left with laughter, and Huang Chao walked up to Gu Dan.
He was quite tall and stared at Gu Dan with a stern gaze, looking down at Gu Dan who was sitting on the chair, as if he was here to cause trouble.
But Gu Dan just looked at Huang Chao calmly, unmoved.
"Good boy!"
After a long while, Huang Chao finally showed a slight smile on his face and patted Gu Dan on the shoulder, "You haven't lost your spirit, that's good!"
"I have seen too many cultivators who were very arrogant at first and felt that they were only a little behind the Foundation Establishment cultivators. But once they saw the power of the Foundation Establishment cultivators, their arrogance immediately dissipated and they even began to flatter them."
Huang Chao shook his head and sneered, "I don't like that kind of people."
He pulled a chair and sat next to Gu Dan, no longer looking down at him. "For those with low-grade spiritual roots, cultivation is a fight for life, a fight for life with heaven! What's more, when you started practicing, you were already quite old. If you don't seize the time, you may not be able to reach the foundation-building stage until you die.
The Grandmaster has turned to cultivating immortality, and his combat power is indeed not weak, but what he lacks the most is time. It is good that you know the value of time. "
The Grand Master turned to cultivating the way of immortality, and they didn't have much time left.
Basically, if you can't reach the late stage of Qi training within fifty years, you will have no chance to enjoy the lifespan of 150 years in the late stage of Qi training.
Even when they have reached the late stage of Qi training, they don’t have much time left and can only keep fighting for their lives.
In contrast, although those immortal seedlings will be oppressed by the Immortal House for thirty to fifty years, they have embarked on the path of cultivation. As long as they work hard enough in the second half of their lives, they will be able to reach the late stage of Qi training before they die of old age, and have a chance to impact the foundation-building stage. The Immortal House has calculated it clearly! If the lower-level cultivators are not given a little hope, it will definitely be a huge disaster.
Monks are not easy to deal with. If they are not given a chance to survive, the impact will be far more harmful than an uprising among ordinary people.
Give hope, but not too much, enough to extinguish most of the dangerous ideas of people.
"As for the hunt for Yu Qing this time, you should not get too involved. Just continue to patrol once a day and be safe. You need to at least reach the middle or even late stage of Qi training before you start thinking of ways to fight for your own opportunities."
Huang Chao said as he took out a book and handed it to Gu Dan, saying, "This is my experience in practicing Qi. You might as well take a look at it and improve your strength as soon as possible."
"this"
This time, Gu Dan was really moved.
Even though we all know that Huang Chao did this to win people's hearts, it was still an obvious strategy.
If he was really an ordinary master, if he really had no other choice but to accept this kindness from the Huang Dynasty, wouldn't he be devoted to it?
No wonder, in just over ten years, the Huang Dynasty had raised a large-scale Huang Tian Army in Dayue, and could even compete with the White Lotus Sect, which had been deeply rooted in Dayue for hundreds of years, and they were on par with each other! A scholar will die for his friend. If you receive a favor from someone but don't know how to repay it, you will be condemned by thousands of people.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Huang Chao has always treated everyone in the Law Enforcement Hall like this, then who is the master of the hall? I really don't know him! "Okay, stop talking nonsense, practice diligently, and break through to the foundation building stage as soon as possible."
Huang Chao did not give Gu Dan a chance to thank him. He patted Gu Dan on the shoulder again, stood up and left without any hesitation.
Holding the booklet left by Huang Chao, he watched the other party leave.
Gu Dan said with emotion: "He really has the demeanor of a heroic leader."
As he stood up and left the Law Enforcement Hall, he saw that none of the people outside the hall had left and were looking at him with a smile.
"What are you guys doing?"
Gu Dan was a little stunned. Was his cover exposed? "Newcomers to the Law Enforcement Hall all receive a gift. You, on the other hand, have been here for three years and only met us today. Of course, this gift was delayed until today."
Lu Yu said with a pout.
"But you are lucky, kid. I made a lot of money today, so I will give you two spirit stones. Remember to practice diligently!"
Lu Yu placed two spirit stones in front of Gu Dan.
"Alas, I am not as wealthy as Brother Lu. A spirit stone is still a spirit stone. Little brother, please don't look down on me."
Another person came forward. He had no previous connection with Gu Dan and he didn't even know his name, but he also took out a spirit stone.
One after another, people came over, simply greeted Gu Dan, and presented him with gifts, which were all spirit stones they had just received.
Soon Gu Dan was almost buried by the spirit stones. A rough look revealed that there were probably hundreds of them!
If one were to stay in a mortal area and accumulate it by himself, it would take at least ten years of hard work, so this gift is extremely valuable.
Moreover, Gu Dan could not refuse these gifts at all, which was probably the unwritten rule within the Law Enforcement Hall.
Finally, Lu Yu said, "Since you have joined the Law Enforcement Hall, we are now considered a family. If there are new people coming, you must remember to take care of them."
"yes."
Gu Dan smiled and nodded.
The world of cultivating immortals is not entirely about intrigue and deception.
This scene finally made Gu Dan feel a little bit of the fairyland in his imagination, which was no longer full of dirty and disgusting calculations.
At least here in the Law Enforcement Hall, the seniors really do take care of the juniors, which is not easy.
Even towards the Law Enforcement Hall, with whom he had only met by chance, Gu Dan had a rare good impression.
