The demon-killing order jointly issued by the immortal sects has come to an end. Now, even if there are cultivators who go to fight the demons to the death, they will no longer receive contribution rewards, and at most they can only sell the corpses of the demons.

Zheng Fei and Mo Feng, who have been busy fighting for four years, really need to rest for a while, relax their minds, and then make a breakthrough to the flawless golden elixir.

Naturally, both of them chose to return to the Xia Dynasty to rest.

My hometown is where my heart is. The Xia Dynasty has different meanings for both Zheng Fei and Mo Feng.

Here they will be reminded of their original aspirations, everything they had in the past, the living people and memories, rather than a lofty state of mind.

In fact, people just want to live, and if they want to live a better life, the Xia Dynasty has done enough.

If we really compare the people of Dayue who lived in dire straits as recorded in history books, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the people of the Xia Dynasty were living in heaven.

But people are never satisfied.

When you are full, you want to be warm; when you are warm, you want to be well-dressed; when you are well-dressed, you want to live well; when you live well, you want to seek more. Even when worldly desires are exhausted, the fear of death will always accompany a person's life, and few people can understand it.

Isn't it the same for the path to immortality?

After Qi training comes foundation building, after foundation building comes Golden Elixir, after Golden Elixir comes Nascent Soul. After Nascent Soul there is also Spirit Transformation, which seems to have no end.

Sometimes people should think about what they are doing for.

The easiest and simplest thing to do is to look back or revisit the old place.

Zheng Fei and Mo Feng returned to the Xia Dynasty. After years of fighting on the front line of the Qingzhou battlefield, the thick and almost indissoluble smell of blood has dissipated a lot. Now they are no longer active in the Xia Dynasty, and they are almost never seen in the temple. Their stage is not here for the time being.

But this did not sever the connection between the Xia Dynasty and them.

After Emperor Guangyao received Gu Dan's formal request for a visit, he contacted Zheng Fei and Mo Feng without hesitation to accompany him.

Firstly, it was naturally because Xia Chao was not yet able to face such a huge Buddha alone. Secondly, it was naturally to avoid the topic of the immortal world because Emperor Guangyao himself could not talk about it.

As for other little thoughts, at least Zheng Fei was a disciple of the Tianji Sect who was personally invited by the Tianji Saint Ying Yao, so he still had some face. Although he did not think that Gu Dan, who was incarnated as Kong Zhai, had any ill intentions, as the Emperor of Xia, he could not be without any defense.

The so-called emperor is alone and has no one to rely on. This is no joke and should not be taken for granted.

"Mr. Kong's name is like thunder in my ears. I am sorry for not welcoming you."

The moment he saw Gu Dan, Emperor Guangyao came forward with a warm smile on his face and behaved with the courtesy of a junior. He did not look down on others just because he was Emperor Xia.

After several years, he was no longer the young man who had just ascended the throne.

Gu Dan also rarely felt a trace of joy from the passage of time. His expression remained calm, and he said calmly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be so polite. I am not unfamiliar with the Xia Dynasty."

After a pause, Gu Dan added: "The former Xia Dynasty."

"Haha, that was something that happened during the time of the previous emperor. A hundred years have passed, and a great man like Mr. Kong would be considered nothing."

Emperor Guangyao said quickly.

The last time, Gu Dan introduced himself as an old friend of Zhuang Sheng.

After returning, Emperor Guangyao searched through all the history books of the Xia Dynasty just to find out about Zhuang Sheng's deeds.

However, Zhuangzi did not do much in the Xia Dynasty, and it is hard to find anything worthy of praise.

The only one who left a slightly deeper impression on people was Qingpingzi's apprentice.

He is not even as famous as his other senior brother. At least that senior brother once served as the governor of Yuzhou and took over the team of Prime Minister Cang.

However, Zhuang Sheng never held an important position in the Xia Dynasty. In the few records about him, he was just a carefree person.

It belongs neither to Mohism nor to Confucianism.

As for the Legalists?

At that time, there was not even a clue about the fate!

The last record in the history books of the Xia Dynasty was that Zhuang Sheng followed Qingpingzi and others to the Buzhou Mountains to search for traces of immortals.

At that time, Emperor Xia was still Emperor Chengping.

Even Emperor Qizhi was just a child at the time, and it would be difficult to establish any relationship with him even if his father came back to life.

A hundred years ago may seem simple, but in the mundane world it was an extremely long period of time, so long that the names of those people are gradually no longer talked about and are forgotten.

Even in the Xia Dynasty today, it is impossible to find a single person involved - unless Mr. Gu is still alive.

Now that there was no one to protect him, Emperor Guangyao could only be careful about everything. Even if he wanted to praise Zhuang Sheng for his contribution to the Xia Dynasty, he dared not speak casually, for fear that the other party would really want to see what he was doing on a whim. "Don't be nervous."

Gu Dan finally couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face, as if he was looking at an embarrassed child, "Zhuang Sheng and I are predestined. We have lived next to each other for decades. Even before he passed away, he helped me out in the end.

But he is too leisurely, not fighting, not seeking, not complaining. Even if I want to repay him, it is extremely difficult. But I have heard that he was born in the Xia Dynasty, and he has a good opinion of the Xia Dynasty.

My friend is gone, but I still miss him. I thought it would be good for his hometown, and that’s why I came here.”

Emperor Guangyao showed a hint of joy on his face, and then he said: "To be honest, I am still young. The Xia Dynasty can have the current situation today, all thanks to the efforts of our ancestors and the struggles of those who have silently contributed to the Xia Dynasty.

Mr. Kong is thinking of his old friend and wants to benefit the Xia Dynasty. I don't deserve it, but I don't want to reject Mr. Kong's kindness. Today, there are no old ministers in the Xia Dynasty who can talk to Mr. Kong about the past, but fortunately there are still talented people who can carry on the great cause of the predecessors! "

Emperor Guangyao pointed to the two people beside him and said, "This is Zheng Fei, who was taught by the Legalist school. Mr. Kong must have never heard of him. This is Mo Feng, who was also taught by the Mohist school. They have some connection, and they are both from the immortal cultivation world."

"Hello, senior."

Zheng Fei hesitated for a while, thought about it, and finally chose the title of senior.

Of course he had heard of Kong Zhai's name. He was ranked second on the list of geniuses for building a foundation and was famous for a time. It was hard not to know him.

Although he has been unknown in the past few years, according to Emperor Guangyao's statement that he has transcended the heavenly tribulation, he is afraid that he will not be able to make the golden elixir anyway.

In addition, Kong Zhai knew the old predecessors from the dynasty before the Xia Dynasty, so there was nothing wrong with calling him "senior", and it would make them closer.

In comparison, Mo Feng was more reserved and just nodded as a greeting.

"You're welcome."

Gu Dan waved his hand and said, "Before I came here, I had already walked among the people of the Xia Dynasty. It is indeed an unprecedented atmosphere of ordinary people. It seems that the Xia Dynasty has never slacked off in all these years.

If my old friend is still alive, he will surely feel relieved. However, today is no longer the era of the secular dynasty. If the Xia Dynasty does not want to stop here, it still needs to borrow some strength. I have contacted some monks through contribution points, and they will help the Xia Dynasty complete a certain degree of transformation.

Whether it is a teleportation formation or a spirit gathering formation, I will have to trouble Emperor Xia to come up with a rule when the time comes. After all, only you know which part is the most critical, and those contribution points are for you to spend."

He has already boarded the Changsheng Sect, not to mention that he has become the only candidate recommended by the Changsheng Sect. He will definitely have a share of anything the Changsheng Sect has. The contribution points that he had accumulated but not spent before would be just sitting there, so he might as well spend them on Xia Chao.

With the reputation of being Zhuang Sheng's old friend, it is not considered abrupt to do so.

"How can this be so embarrassing? You have worked hard to earn those Contribution Points."

Emperor Guangyao's eyes widened. He never expected that he would be so generous. The contribution points accumulated by this person were probably enough to exchange for flawless golden elixir-level resources! Now he was waving his hand and actually wanted to give it to Xia Chao, and even let them figure out how to spend it?

This is the perfect example of a pie in the sky! "No problem. I'm already the candidate recommended by the Changsheng Sect. After the life and death competition, I can choose any opportunity. Those contribution points are useless to me, so you can just use them."

As he spoke, Gu Dan looked at Zheng Fei and Mo Feng and said, "These two have already reached the late stage of foundation building. I'm afraid they are only one step away from the golden elixir. What do you think? Do you have any choice?"

Zheng Fei quickly said: "I have already joined the Tianji Sect and have the opportunity to advance to the level of the flawless golden elixir."

"good."

Then Mo Feng said: "I have already joined the Tianli Sect, and my contribution is enough to exchange for the opportunity of the flawless golden elixir."

“They are all very promising.”

Gu Dan nodded in satisfaction, "Being able to advance to the level of flawless golden elixir is a big step ahead of others, which is equivalent to climbing halfway up the mountain. The future is bright and promising, and it is not just empty talk. You still need to practice hard and don't slack off."

"That's what the senior taught me."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Zheng Fei naturally agreed, and he had no ill feelings towards this guy who spoke in the tone of a senior. After all, the other party really came to the Xia Dynasty to deliver something, and the gift was quite valuable.

Not to mention speaking in the tone of an elder, getting scolded a few times is no problem at all.

"Okay, I've finished what I wanted to say, so I won't bother you anymore."

Gu Dan did not stay here for long. After a brief conversation, he left.

"Senior, since you have come to Xia Dynasty and we haven't prepared a banquet yet, how can you leave now? Wouldn't it make us younger generations seem ignorant of etiquette? How about inviting you to a banquet?"

Emperor Guangyao was totally confused. Was he really going to come here, drop off a huge fortune and leave?

Pie really fell from the sky today.

Is this the only treatment you can give your own son? "No need."

Gu Dan shook his head and said, "It's not too late to talk about the banquet after the life-and-death arena. I also have my own things to do. I just came here to take a look today."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Dan's figure disappeared from the spot.

Just as he said, the purpose of coming here today was to give Xia Chao a big gift package and to see how these little guys were doing.

Now that everything has been completed, I won’t stay any longer.

Emperor Guangyao stared blankly at the empty space in front of him. For a moment, the feeling that Senior Kong Zhai gave him was quite similar to that of Mr. Gu!

But it was only for a moment.

This is probably the common point among the senior masters. They all come and go like the wind and are difficult to predict, but they do not give people any pressure. They are as ethereal and high as the white clouds in the sky.

It’s a pity that Mr. Gu has left to deal with Yundao Tianhe, otherwise if he could meet Kong Zhai, the two of them would probably get along quite well!

In the Xia Dynasty, in a courtyard newly bought by Gu Dan.

Now it was no longer convenient for him to live in the former Gu family courtyard, so he bought a new house and used it as the Kong family courtyard.

But naturally there are no guests here, and there is nothing to reminisce about. It is just a place to rest.

At this moment, a man with a gloomy face stood in the yard. Who else could it be but Gu Dan’s master Shen Jiangyue?

"Master, who angered you?"

Gu Dan, who had just returned, was slightly surprised when he saw Shen Jiangyue, whose face could barely contain her anger.

Yuanying Venerable is not someone who is easily angered. Even Venerable Zheng didn't seem as angry as Shen Jiangyue was now after his disciple Lou Yan lost.

"Those bastards from the Tianyan Sect! The life-and-death arena hasn't even started yet, but they're already thinking about how to get more benefits after winning. They really have a good plan!"

Shen Jiangyue clenched her teeth.

The Tianyan Sect targeted the Changsheng Sect, which naturally made her angry.

At the same time, the Tianyan Sect also pushed her apprentice to the forefront. Before he had a chance to fight the demons, he became the scum of the human race in the mouths of many people. Is that okay? They really looked down on people alive! Angry on top of rage, Shen Jiangyue wanted to tear down the Tianyan Sect's signboard right now - unfortunately, the Tianyan Sect had not yet set up a dojo in Yuantian Realm.

"Look at this."

Shen Jiangyue directly threw out a jade slip, which recorded in detail what had happened in the past few days, including the decision of the nine major immortal sects to make a final decision on the ownership of the ultimate spiritual veins in Yuantian Realm in the future based on the performance of the disciples nominated by each sect in the life and death arena.

In name, it is to avoid internal strife among humans, but this seemingly fair method cannot tell who is favored and who benefits the most. Anyone with a decent brain can figure it out.

It's really a waste of time for the Tianyan Sect. It's not enough for them to rely on the reputation of being a formation maniac to firmly occupy the invincible position in the Golden Core Realm. They are still going further and even want to take over the top-grade spiritual veins.

However, to Shen Jiangyue's surprise, after Gu Dan's mind scanned the contents of the jade slip, he was not as angry as she was. Instead, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, quite fair."

"Um?!"

His reaction stunned Shen Jiangyue for a moment.

No, her disciple is not a fool. Can't she see who is benefiting from this? Although she thinks her disciple is really good and she is very satisfied with him.

But compared with Zhen Chi, well, even compared with the slightly inferior Saint Tianji and Saint Hehuan, there is still a long way to go.

Originally, he might not have had to show up, and could have just been a spectator and watched, but now that this rule has been added, the pressure has skyrocketed.

Even if he wanted to get away with it, he had to consider the feelings of the Changsheng Sect. This was related to a top-grade spiritual vein, and no one would be willing to give up as long as there was a glimmer of hope.

This vicious scheme directly put her apprentice on the fire, and she still talks about fairness at this time? !

As if he could see Shen Jiangyue's worry, Gu Dan smiled indifferently, took the jade slip, and said, "Master, don't worry, I know what's going on.

I just need to trouble you with one more thing, Master. Please have someone send me the method of comprehending Jianmu Magical Power as soon as possible. I will try to practice it in front of the Life and Death Arena. Maybe it will be useful. "

Shen Jiangyue took a deep breath, not knowing whether to praise Gu Dan for his good attitude or for being too generous. Anyway, the nine major immortal sects had already made their decision, and a little complaint would be useless. At the moment, all she could do was say, "It will be soon. The sect master will personally deliver it to you. You will get it in a few days."

After a pause, Shen Jiangyue said, "Don't feel too much pressure. Master knows that you have a good spirit. But compared to those who have practiced for a long time, you still need some practice. There is no need to fight for temporary success. There will always be a time for you to shine. Don't push yourself too hard."

"Master, rest assured. In the end, it all comes down to strength."

Gu Dan smiled, "Maybe I can give them a surprise during the life and death competition?" (End of this chapter)
