Chapter 590: Unyielding (8)
The system flashed. Could it be that Gu Qingyue guessed something?
Although Ye Shuangshuang thought his request was a bit strange, she still threw the bottle of pills to him. She waved her hand and said, "Is giving you a bottle of pills a great favor? Fellow Daoist Gu is too polite."
"This is a timely help to me." Gu Qingyue took it, opened it and ate one pill.
"Seeing you like this, do you want me to take you back to Lingxu Sect?" Ye Shuangshuang was really afraid that he would be eaten by something on the way.
"Thank you for your kindness. Although I have no cultivation, my physique is still good. I can go back by myself." Too much contact may lead to accidents, so Gu Qingyue chose to eliminate it directly at the source.
"Okay, I'll go first." Considering Gu Qingyue's self-esteem, Ye Shuangshuang did not force him to leave.
The healing pill was quite effective. The injuries caused by being swept out by the strong current had healed. Gu Qingyue was in much better condition and continued to walk back slowly, picking wild fruits from time to time to fill his stomach.
[She's following you. She's really kindhearted. She's afraid you'll die on the way. You're quite charming.] The system scanned Ye Shuangshuang, who was following not far behind, with a sarcastic look on her face.
"So, how bad must my conscience be to harm her?" She's just a nice person.
Gu Qingyue spotted a mid-level medicinal herb with his sharp eyes and put it into his sleeve. This should be the guardian medicinal herb of the Earth-Moving Beast. No one knew where the Earth-Moving Beast had gone, so it was a good opportunity for him.
After walking and stopping for a while, Gu Qingyue arrived at a city half a month later. He sold the herbs for spirit stones, rented a low-level flying spirit weapon with the spirit stones, and then slowly flew back to Lingxu Sect.
Knowing that Ye Shuangshuang was following him, Gu Qingyue did not point it out, because with his cultivation level and the current special circumstances, he could not detect Ye Shuangshuang, whose cultivation level was higher than his. It was the system that reminded him that Ye Shuangshuang was following him.
With her by my side, I can go back safely. I will accept her kindness and return her in the future. I can't just take my life lightly.
Returning to the mountain city at the foot of Lingxu Sect, Gu Qingyue returned the rented flying spiritual weapon to the shop of the same name and walked up the stone steps of Lingxu Sect step by step.
Many disciples who came down the mountain cast surprised glances at him, but did not approach him.
Gu Qingyue ignored them and went on his own.
Some people were indifferent, but some were righteous. A disciple walked up to Gu Qingyue and asked, "Uncle Gu, do you want my help?"
Gu Qingyue was relieved that someone was willing to help. "Please take me back to Guanchen Peak. Thank you."
He doesn't have any strange arrogance or self-esteem. A smart person should judge the situation.
"You're welcome." The disciple took him back to Guanchen Peak on his sword.
Gu Qingyue stood some distance away from him. After arriving at Guanchen Peak, he asked his disciples to wait outside and went back to get the spirit stones as a thank you.
Before the disciple left, Gu Qingyue said, "I'll trouble you with one more thing."
"Uncle Gu, please speak."
"Go check for me to see if Liu Pan and Xu Chongwen from Zhenfeng have returned."
"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll go and find out." The spirit stones given by Gu Qingyue were quite generous, so the disciple went to find out without saying a word.
Gu Qingyue changed his clothes and sat on the stone steps waiting for the disciple to come. Soon he received the news that they had not returned.
It seems that they are still alive, otherwise the news would be that they are dead and their life plates are broken.
They are really lucky, but it’s good to be alive. If they are alive, they will suffer more in the future than if they are dead.
Gu Qingyue went to practice, and the real thing was to work hard to recover the lost cultivation.
Strength is everything.
A year later, Gu Qingyue restored his strength to the peak of Qi Refining, and once again endured the pain of his Dantian being shattered and reshaped, restoring his strength to the initial stage of Foundation Establishment.
This technique is extremely domineering and powerful. In addition, since he is practicing it again, his understanding, aptitude and experience are there, so it is not difficult to recover his cultivation.
Gu Qingyue dragged his sweaty body to take a shower and changed his clothes.
…
In a dense forest somewhere, Luo Mingqian was thrown to the ground by a monster and his head hit a tree trunk. His eyes went dark and he suddenly remembered something.
Shouldn't he be taking care of Junior Brother Gu and helping him investigate Qin Jinsong? Why is he here?
Luo Mingqian got up, wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, staggered towards Lingxu Sect, and swallowed a pill.
Before he flew thirty feet, Luo Mingqian felt a severe headache. Everything went dark before his eyes and he almost fell from mid-air. There was a flash of struggle in his eyes.
After stabilizing his body, Luo Mingqian turned his head.
He wants to gain experience... Yes, he wants to gain experience.
…
Gu Qingyue went to Tianqian Peak and saw that Luo Mingqian's life plate was still fine, so he felt relieved.
It seems that the system should have sent Senior Brother Mingqian away and did not take action against him.
Or maybe, you don’t have the ability to kill him?
Gu Qingyue went to Linze Peak again. He was still able to get in. The two senior brothers Jiang did not guard against him, and their life cards were also intact.
Are there any loopholes in the system’s methods?
It's not omnipotent, but the situation isn't utterly dire.
The sect was quite lively today. Li Quanyu was presiding over the election of new disciples. When Gu Qingyue saw him, he wanted to observe the abnormality in him from a close distance, so he went to join in the fun.
Seeing Gu Qingyue coming, many disciples looked at him and talked about it.
Gu Qingyue ignored them and walked to Li Quanyu's side.
Li Quanyu, who had been showing a gentle expression, suddenly turned cold upon seeing him. "Uncle Gu, what is he doing here? To watch the disciple election today and reminisce about his past glory?"
Li Quanyu's words really hit Gu Qingyue's sore spot. After hearing this, the disciples became more and more excited in their discussion.
The elders all frowned and looked at Li Quanyu disapprovingly, "Quanyu, how do you talk to your uncle?"
Hearing those words like "lost cultivation", "wasted", "waste", and "give up", the elder angrily shouted: "Shut up, don't talk nonsense!"
The disciples fell silent, but still secretly looked at the people on the platform.
Many people were just gossiping and had a mindset of not caring about anything, but there were also a few disciples with bad character. The system absorbed their malice and accumulated it into energy.
Gu Qingyue ignored Li Quanyu's sarcasm and sat on a vacant chair, saying calmly, "Junior Brother Li also said I'm idle. Why wouldn't someone with idle time join in the fun?"
"No matter what, I am still your uncle."
Qin Jinsong looked at him coldly.
Gu Qingyue looked over and asked, "Why, does Senior Brother Qin have any objections?"
Noticing someone looking at him, the disdain on Qin Jinsong's face disappeared. "Indeed, Junior Brother Gu is still Junior Brother Qin's uncle. Junior Brother Qin's words are somewhat disrespectful to the master."
You still have to save face in front of outsiders.
The disciple election began in an orderly manner as usual. Gu Qingyue sat there with a cold expression, glancing at Li Quanyu from time to time.
Suddenly, he noticed that someone's gaze was frequently falling on him. Gu Qingyue followed the other person's gaze and saw a dark and thin woman.
[Second target detected: Lingxu Sect's new disciple Lu Yilin! ]
[Strategy target location, ten feet to the lower left.]
[Successfully capture target number two, rewarded with fifty years of cultivation!]
Gu Qingyue just glanced and then looked away.
[Host, don't look at her ugly appearance now. She will grow up in two years. Don't all men want to hug her? You are not at a disadvantage.] The system's tone is ambiguous.
"You're using innocent women as merchandise in exchange. You're a parasitic bug, a million times worse than the man you're talking about. You call me host when you want me to do a mission, and you call me host when you're upset. You can't change your mind as quickly as turning the pages of a book." Gu Qingyue had nothing else to do, so it was okay to just flirt with him.
By the way, some more questions.
