Chapter 272: More Conservative
Patriarch Gan Du waved his hand, and three cushions appeared on the ground. He said, "Sit down and talk!"
At this time, two voices were heard in the air: "Senior sister, Senior brother has guests coming to visit, and they won't wait for us."
"Then let's go to Senior Brother's cave to drink his spiritual tea."
"Okay, let's go together!"
Gu Liyue internally grumbled: These three elders live like ordinary young people. Is this a return to nature? Without the need for management and with such a wonderful environment, I imagine their lives must be quite comfortable.
The sound was getting closer and closer, and a moment later, two figures appeared in the cave.
A man dressed in a black Taoist robe with wide sleeves fluttering in the wind, bringing a breeze.
He turned around, and his Taoist robe fluttered like a blooming black flower. He was holding a flower in his hand, which was the flower that Patriarch Gan Du had just cut. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Brother, why did you cut this flower when it was still so beautiful?"
Another was dressed in exquisite fiery red robes, her raven hair tied high with a jade crown, looking dashing and heroic. Her face was gorgeous and sweet, not at all like an old ancestor.
"Brother, you have guests coming, why didn't you notify us to come and meet them?" The voice was sweet and ethereal.
Gan Du raised his eyes and said, "Aren't you guys here too?"
Gongsun Xun originally wanted to take Gu Liyue to sit down on the futon, but when he saw these two people come in, he hurriedly saluted.
"Meetings to Elder Qinfang and Elder Lingxu."
Gu Liyue also saluted.
He felt very uncomfortable in his heart. The middle-aged man's master saluted these three people and called them ancestors. This kind of situation should be quite common in the world of cultivating immortals!
The title of ancestor should represent cultivation and seniority. I wonder how many generations apart these three are from the dean?
Qinfang and Lingxu looked over. Qinfang raised her head slightly, and Gu Liyue felt a gentle spiritual power supporting her body as she saluted and helped herself up.
Qinfang and Lingxu sat on the cushions that were originally given to Gongsun Xun and Gu Liyue.
Gan Du raised his hand and moved Qinfang, Lingxu and their cushions to one side. With another wave of his hand, two more cushions appeared next to them.
"Sit down."
Gongsun Xun took Gu Liyue and sat down.
Qinfang looked at Gu Liyue and said, "This little girl is quite pretty and has good cultivation. I heard that you guys went to the Cangwu Realm."
Gu Liyue looked at Ancestor Qinfang and really couldn't connect the title of Ancestor with him.
"Yes."
Lingxu also looked over and said, "How's it going over there? Don't be so reserved, tell me about it."
Gu Liyue said, "There's actually not much to say about that place. I just feel that the spiritual energy is richer. The biggest difference is the division of realms and the exchange rate of spirit stones."
Gan Du listened quietly with an expressionless face.
Qinfang blinked curiously, her face full of longing.
Lingxu had an indifferent expression on his face.
Gu Liyue paused and continued, "The realms after the Nascent Soul stage are divided into Out-of-Body, Spiritual Division, Fusion, Tribulation Crossing, and Mahayana. The corresponding thunder tribulations are fifty-nine, sixty-nine, seventy-nine, eighty-nine, and ninety-nine respectively. Theoretically, if the ancestors' cultivation is equivalent to the Mahayana stage of the Cangwu Realm, then they have experienced three fewer thunder tribulations than the cultivators of the Cangwu Realm, namely, the sixty-nine, eighty-nine, and ninety-nine tribulations."
Qinfang nodded and said, "Well said."
Gu Liyue added, "This is just a theoretical prediction. No one knows what the actual situation will be. We also don't know whether it will be split all at once or in batches. After all, no one has tried it out."
Qinfang found what Gu Liyue said interesting and burst out laughing.
"You make an interesting point."
Gu Liyue looked at the dean, who nodded slightly, telling her to speak boldly.
"Having experienced both worlds, one might gain unexpected benefits in terms of realm breakthroughs. Of course, this also varies from person to person."
She paused and said, "After all, with more experience, some ideas will change."
Ancestor Gan Du looked at her deeply and said, "It seems that you have a lot of experience!"
Gu Liyue was nervous, wondering if these powerful eyes could tell that she came from another world.
She said obediently, "This is just a small experience of mine. It may not be worth mentioning in front of the three ancestors. I am just showing off my skills in front of an expert."
Lingxu listened with great interest. He said, "What you said does make sense. I wonder what the difference is between spirit stones?"
Gu Liyue breathed a sigh of relief. "The spirit stones there contain more spiritual energy and are more refined than those in the Qingxuan Continent. They are also divided into high, medium and low-grade spirit stones, but the exchange rate is one hundred."
Qin Fang said, "That's interesting. I find it quite interesting to look after this little girl, Li Yue."
Gu Liyue didn't feel good after being repeatedly praised as interesting. She felt like an interesting toy in front of them.
Gongsun Xun interjected at the right moment, "I wonder what the three ancestors think?"
Patriarch Gan Du said, "I think it's impossible for Qingxuan Academy to send so many people over at once. We must leave at least one person to guard here. If this matter cannot be concealed, other aristocratic families may take action. At that time, we must deter them.
Furthermore, if the thunder tribulation over there is too severe, we don’t know what the outcome will be. I suggest that you go first.”
Gongsun Xun nodded and asked, "How will the people in other realms be arranged?"
Qinfang and Lingxu looked at Gongsun Xun. They had not been in charge for many years. Shouldn't he be the one making the decision on this matter?
Gan Du said, "We have to leave some people here. You guys are responsible for the daily chores, so you can make your own arrangements. I still suggest that we go in batches and give it a try first."
Gu Liyue thought: The eldest of the three ancestors should be the most conservative! I wonder which ancestor will go this time?
With doubts in their hearts, the master and disciple left the back mountain and returned to Tongtian Peak.
Gongsun Xun said, "Next, I will start arranging the first group of people to cross the Cangwu Realm. After that, we will set off."
When Gu Liyue heard this, she knew that her master would also be among the first group to go.
"Master, don't you need to stay here?"
The dean said, "In fact, the affairs of the academy can usually be managed by the elders. If there are any major matters, you can also ask the ancestors for instructions."
Gu Liyue asked curiously, "How many generations are there between the three ancestors and Master?"
"Actually, anyone who has reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage is collectively called an Ancestor, regardless of generation. It's just that the three ancestors of our Qingxuan Academy are all of the same generation, three generations younger than me." He sighed, "The two in between were unable to break through the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and after their 2,000-year lifespans, they returned to the world."
Gu Liyue asked, "Master, what is your current cultivation level? And what are the cultivation levels of the elders in the academy?"
The dean said, "I am also in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. The elders of the academy are also in the Spiritual Transformation Realm. The second, third, and fourth elders are all in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. The others are all in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, just like me."
