Chapter 329 Phoenix Wings
Gu Zhifei didn’t quite understand the meaning of the crystal ball lighting up. To her, this was not much different from the feeling of testing the talent of the formation.
But facing the naked gazes of more than a dozen people, Gu Zhifei was really embarrassed. After all, she had just dug up the graves of the Bai and Gong families.
The old man stroked his beard, looked at Gu Zhifei and nodded: "He has five elements spiritual roots, a clear mind, and is a member of the Yuanzong Tian Sect. He is very suitable."
Gu Zhifei tilted his head, not understanding what he was saying.
The head of the Seven Star Sect looked at her earnestly and said, "The mission of your Zongtian Sect is now in your hands."
Gu Zhifei wasn't sure, but when she looked at the face of the leader of the Seven Stars Sect, she always felt that he had some bad intentions.
After testing their talent, Gu Zhifei seemed to be forgotten. He stood aside and watched everyone sign a contract, then quickly left.
They came and left in a hurry, and only Gu Zhifei took the contract handed to him by the old man in confusion.
She unfolded the contract and saw a few simple words written inside, which probably meant that everyone agreed to let her enter their territory in the future. To put it bluntly, this was a pass.
So, her previous illegal tomb robbery has now become a legal visit, and she can also take away some things? Gu Zhifei couldn't figure out what was going on, but her intuition told her that this was a hot potato that could not be handled.
"Before you make a decision, can you please consider my opinion?"
Gu Zhifei knew that she might not have the authority to say such things to everyone present, or perhaps they felt that they should be honored to receive such an "honor", but she did not think so.
The old man sighed, "You may refuse, but this is your chance, and it is also the chance of the common people. When Wuming was born, we used all our power to seal him for only three hundred years, and it can never be repeated. And you are the variable in the world of cultivation, and the only one who can break this situation."
Gu Zhifei doesn't want to save the world, she only wants to save herself.
"I know you want me to deal with that demon cultivator, but you have to know that I am not the knife in your hands. I cannot be sharpened even if I sharpen it temporarily. If I deal with him now, it will be like hitting a rock with an egg."
Cultivation takes time, and cramming-style practice will only exhaust her talent. If they had discussed it with her, perhaps she could have understood it. However, they did not explain anything to her and just arranged Gu Zhifei's path like this. Gu Zhifei could not accept this.
She never accepts moral kidnapping.
The old man smiled and said, "It's my fault. I didn't explain it to you clearly. Let's make a deal. If you don't advance to Nascent Soul within two hundred years, we won't talk about this anymore, and Wuming's disaster will have nothing to do with you."
But if you succeed in giving birth to a baby within two hundred years, you must solve this problem and leave no future troubles."
This is a good deal. Gu Zhifei frowned and said, "How do you know I won't regret it or be lazy?"
The old man smiled and said, "I won't make a mistake."
"Okay." Seeing that he was straightforward, Gu Zhifei no longer refused, "If I can successfully form a fetus, I think I will be able to fight him."
The deal the old man proposed was very tempting, and Gu Zhifei couldn't refuse it at all. But she noticed that a trace of pity flashed across the face of the head of the Seven Star Sect next to her.
Gu Zhifei didn't have time to think about why this happened, but he saw the old man nodded with a smile, stretched out his hand and summoned a blue flowing water staff, which suddenly grew larger, and the end of the staff gently hit the ground, forming a huge magic circle.
At the same time, this breath responded from all directions, forming the image of seven stars in a row, which reflected the sun in the sky.
The old man's figure turned into green smoke and merged into the seven stars, and disappeared without a trace.
Gu Zhifei no longer sensed the presence of living people where he was. Turning her head to look at the head of the Seven Star Sect, she saw the hidden grief on his face:
"Elder Xingyin has passed away."
The contract in Gu Zhifei's hand fell to the ground.
The funeral of a monk has a different meaning from death. It can be considered a ritual, but it can also be considered a complete death.
When a monk dies, his soul will leave his body. When a dead soul attaches to a living person, it is called "possession"; when a dead soul attaches to a dead person, it is called "reincarnation"; when a living soul attaches to a living person, it is called "dual souls in one body"; when a living soul attaches to a dead person, it is called "reincarnation".
When the body and the soul die together, it is called funeral.
Gu Zhifei blinked his eyes. He didn't know why the kind old man who had just spoken to him in a friendly manner had passed away in the blink of an eye.
The leader of the Seven Stars Sect sighed, explained something to her, and asked her to go back and rest for a few days.
Gu Zhifei left in a daze, not knowing what had happened.
Just now, representatives of the sects and families selected a total of seven highly respected Nascent Soul cultivators from each family, led by Elder Xingyin of the Seven Stars Sect. They extracted their own spirits and sealed Wuming back to Xunmo Mountain for a time limit of three hundred years.
Elder Xingyin kept saying that he could not seal Wuming for another three hundred years, but he used his own flesh and blood and that of his colleagues to build an iron wall and create enough time for Gu Zhifei to grow.
She had complained before that no one greeted her, but she never thought that everyone would have to pay such a heavy price for "a knife".
Gu Zhifei also had doubts. Wuming was a demon cultivator, but he was only at the Nascent Soul stage. There were so many talented people in the world of immortal cultivation. How could there not be a single righteous cultivator who stood up to deal with him? Even if the cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage were in seclusion for years and disappeared, there were three Nascent Soul elders in the Seven Star Sect alone. Could it be that other sects could not gather people? Even if the demon cultivators were strong, could they really fight ten or a hundred at once?
The head of the Seven Star Sect sighed, "Of course we can. If we insist on fighting violence with violence, we can naturally solve all of this. But what happened three hundred years ago cannot happen again. The life span of us old-line Yuanyings can be seen to the end, and we don't want the younger generation to die here again."
It turns out that due to thunder tribulations, fights between cultivators often do not affect others, so even Nascent Soul cultivators will not kill innocent people.
But the demon cultivators were different. They originally entered the Dao by killing people. The more people died, the happier they were. They wished the battlefield would become bigger and bigger. Three hundred years ago, countless cultivators were killed and injured in the Nameless War, which caused a gap in the cultivation of the younger generation, which has not recovered to this day.
Gu Zhifei thought of the blood-colored flowers on the back cliff of Lingshan Mountain and understood the concerns of the Seven Star Sect Leader. Without destruction, there is no construction. To seek new life through death, they placed their hopes on Gu Zhifei, which made her feel that the burden on her was extremely heavy.
Elder Xingyin did not explain, but Gu Zhifei knew in his heart that if he wanted to gain absolute advantage in the battle with Wuming, he would have to have a higher level of cultivation and more ruthless methods than him.
The demon cultivators have strong combat power, which is why they need Gu Zhifei's five spiritual roots.
Because the five spirits in her body are the cause and effect of the tens of thousands of cultivators in Wuming's hands. It is reasonable that Gu Zhifei should solve all of this.
It was much better than what the leader of the Seven Stars Sect had imagined. It only took Gu Zhifei one afternoon to digest it all, and he was back to normal the next day.
Gu Zhifei asked the head of the Seven Star Sect how she would practice next. The head just replied that everything was normal. Overcorrection would easily lead to obsession. She might as well keep a calm mind and just pretend that nothing happened.
Gu Zhifei followed his advice and returned to the Qixingmen classroom the next day.
The classes for the inner disciples of the Seven Star Sect were divided into three levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Gu Zhifei had just entered the school and could only attend the beginner level classes.
But she didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here.
Ying Yan looked at her, with disdain clearly written on her face. Gu Zhifei knew that she was not on good terms with him.
Originally, Gu Zhifei didn't want to pay attention to her and went around her to the classroom, but Ying Yan blocked her way first and mocked her, "Aren't you very strong? Why don't you go to the third floor for class?"
The lecture hall has three floors, and the higher the level, the fewer disciples. Ying Yan is also famous on the yellow list, but he is only on the second floor.
Gu Zhifei glanced at her and said impatiently, "What does it have to do with you?"
She pushed Ying Yan aside and took a step forward, then remembered something and turned to look at her: "By the way, your position is not bad, and the resources you received this month are also very good."
After saying that, he strode away in a dashing manner.
Ying Yan gnashed her teeth in the back. Gu Zhifei was showing off to her. After she defeated him, she replaced her in the Yellow List and received the cultivation resources that should have belonged to her.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"How shameless." Ying Yan spat behind Gu Zhifei.
She changed her mind and felt that she should teach Gu Zhifei a lesson.
This was Gu Zhifei’s first time coming to the Qixingmen’s academy. He was not familiar with the disciples around him, so he found a seat by the window and sat down.
Before coming, Bai Mengmeng had already briefly introduced the situation of the school to her. In order to encourage disciples to make progress, the Seven Stars Sect has a system of skipping grades. As long as the disciples complete the assessment of their current grade, they can go to the next grade to attend classes.
Gu Zhifei majored in a magic training course and a formation training course, and did not sign up for the others. She was interested in other subjects, but practicing any of them would require a lot of time and resources. Instead of trying everything, it would be better to master one or two, so that at least she could show them off.
The requirements for the magic courses are very simple. To complete the course, you need to reach the foundation-building stage and be proficient in the five elemental spells.
Gu Zhifei has already learned three spells, and still needs two more. She thinks that as attack skills, two fire skills are basically enough, and the water freezing skill is also enough as a control skill. After asking Tiantong Daozun, she decided to learn an earth escape technique and an impregnable defense skill.
Since it is a five-element spiritual root, it must look like a five-element spiritual root. She practiced spells of different elements, which not only strengthened her control over the spiritual root elements, but also allowed her to practice the switching speed of using several elements.
However, Tiantong Daozun didn't know that because Gu Zhifei was using the divine dice, he didn't need to switch the element type.
She can even use five elemental powers at the same time.
Gu Zhifei had never told anyone about this. As a person, you always have to keep some of your cards in your hand.
The Qixing Sect has a martial arts arena for disciples to train. Gu Zhifei has been hanging out there these days and has become a celebrity here. It's not like in the novel, where she always breaks props and attracts the attention of other disciples, but the disciples discovered that this guy doesn't need to pay spirit stones to enter the martial arts arena.
In the end, the guard of the martial arts arena even gave her a key and told her to practice whenever she wanted. This was a treatment that all the disciples envied.
You know, in order to make the training of disciples more effective, a spirit gathering array is used in the martial arts field, so the spiritual power is much richer than other places.
In order to avoid excessive consumption of spiritual energy, the martial arts arena not only limits the number of people entering each day, but each disciple is also required to pay fifty spirit stones as an entrance fee every half hour.
Not only was Gu Zhifei not restricted by the martial arts arena, she also did not need to pay spirit stones. This could truly be considered VIP treatment.
However, Gu Zhifei didn't know what the other disciples were thinking.
Her key was actually given to her by the headmaster, who hoped that she would practice diligently and quickly form a pill and then a baby. Every time Gu Zhifei entered the martial arts arena, there was a fast track, and she was not crowded with other disciples, and she didn't even know that they had swiped their disciple cards and paid spirit stones.
Even if she saw it, she would just think that the disciple card served as an access card.
That day, she planned to go directly from the passage to the martial arts arena for training as usual, but unexpectedly Ying Yan and her lackeys stopped her: "Wait a minute."
Gu Zhifei didn't want to wait for her. She had lost her patience to talk to Ying Yan. Besides, she had already done her part by not causing trouble for Ying Yan in the previous incident.
With a light sweep of his hand, Gu Zhifei leaped up and passed Ying Yan directly, intending to break into the martial arts arena.
She has the personal approval of the master, and the spirit beasts and mechanical guards guarding the gate will not stop her, but it is hard to say for Ying Yan and the others.
"Wait a minute!" Ying Yan was very angry when she saw Gu Zhifei completely ignoring her: "I, I want to make a bet with you!"
After hearing about the bet, Gu Zhifei paused for a moment. She wanted to see what Ying Yan's bet was and whether it was worth staying.
Ying Yan said: "Let's fight in the martial arts arena. I'll use a red flame flower as a bet. If you beat me, the red flame flower will be yours."
A red flame flower?
Gu Zhifei sneered. She looked down on Ying Yan, who was simply wasting her time.
Things like the Red Flame Flower were very common in their cultivation resources. Now that the headmaster had allocated most of his resources to her, the Red Flame Flower, a fire-attributed spiritual plant that was not considered too precious, was no longer in her eyes.
Seeing Gu Zhifei was about to leave, Ying Yan became anxious and took out a jade box from her Qiankun bag, opened it to show the red flame flower inside, and said loudly: "This red flame flower is different, you will know when you see it."
The rich scent of fire almost filled the entire space. Gu Zhifei was startled, and the flames in his body began to stir.
She turned her head and saw an orange flower bud in the jade box in Ying Yan's hand.
The red flame flower is red, and this flower is the wrong color. Gu Zhifei remembered that he had collected a spiritual plant illustration book on Lingshan Mountain, and this flower was on it.
Because its shape resembles red flame, this flower is often mistaken, but in fact it is not a red flame flower, but a phoenix wing with a black gold scent.
