Chapter 346 Soft Power
Gu Zhifei found that her memory was somewhat fragmented, but this did not affect her judgment of the current situation.
Although she didn't know why that little Qi-cultivating cultivator dared to act in front of her, a Jindan-stage cultivator, she understood the principle that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.
She had provoked the Jinyuan Sect, an entire sect. There were also many Jindan elders in the sect. If they all rushed out like crazy, Gu Zhifei was not sure she could escape unscathed.
Instead of fighting with them, it is better to take a step back and see the bigger picture.
After all, he had killed the other person's beloved little son, and it could be considered as revenge for the years of training him to be a cauldron.
But Gu Zhifei didn't run too far.
It is dark under the lamp. How can she say it is dark under the lamp if she doesn't find a place to live at the foot of the Jinyuan Sect?
Gu Zhifei wiped out the spiritual consciousness in the stolen Qiankun bag, gathered the spirit stones inside, and planned to use these spirit stones to find a place to live first.
But when she actually arrived in the village, she realized how wrong her idea was.
Only monks use spirit stones, ordinary people use copper coins.
Using spirit stones to exchange for copper coins, not only ordinary people would be unwilling to do so, but even Gu Zhifei himself felt that it was a huge loss.
This kind of loss-making business cannot be done, and I can't bear to do it.
Gu Zhifei rummaged through the things in the bag, counted everything, and confirmed that there was not a single penny left. He then made up his mind.
She flew to a place more than two hundred miles away, sold the two exquisite storage bags as if they were ordinary bags for copper coins, and returned to the foot of Jinyuan Sect.
She didn't feel sorry for the two storage bags.
The monks' storage bags have tracking functions. If they were discovered by the elders of these two people, who knows how much trouble they would get into.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to sell it at a low price, saving Gu Zhifei the trouble and possible exposure of his position.
The two storage bags were exchanged for silver, which was converted by Gu Zhifei into more than 500 copper coins, which could last for a long time.
She first rented a small shabby house with twenty copper coins, and then bought more than twenty chicks with five copper coins.
Five hundred copper coins may seem like a lot, but they are spent quickly. If Gu Zhifei wants to gain a foothold in the world, he must have his own way to survive.
She found that in addition to the storage bags of the two people, she also had two storage spaces, which contained some living strange-looking monsters.
I think these two storage bags can be used to feed animals. If so, why not raise some chickens in these storage bags, and sell them after they grow up and lay eggs.
In this way, she only needs to throw some food into the storage bag, and she will have a steady supply of eggs to sell.
Facts have proved that ideas are extremely beautiful, but reality is often very cruel.
Gu Zhifei took a short nap to relax, and when he woke up, he found that the twenty copper coins he had moved in his storage bag had disappeared.
To be precise, it turned into a pile of bones.
Looking at the well-fed monsters in the storage bag, Gu Zhifei became furious. She picked up a wooden staff from the storage bag and beat the monsters in the Qiankun bag until they cried bitterly. She vowed to earn back the copper coins she had lost.
But monsters don't know how to make money. From ancient times to now, they only lose money and never make money.
Of course, it’s another matter if these damn monks dig out their demon cores and sell them for money.
Thus, on the hilltop of Jinyuan Sect, there was a legend like this:
Whenever there was no moonlight, I could always see dark shadows on the top of Jinyuan Mountain, and occasionally hear the cries of wild animals. When I went to see it the next morning, there were inexplicably fewer trees on the top of the mountain, and I didn't know why.
Only Gu Zhifei knew clearly that as he looked at the dried firewood scattered all over the ground and counted the copper coins, he felt that making money this way was indeed much faster than raising chickens.
But the monsters in her Qiankun bag were suffering terribly. Not only were they caught to be used as pigs, but they also had to help with work. Who could bear that?
Unfortunately, he couldn't withstand Gu Zhifei's bigger fist.
In the face of fists, whoever has the stronger fist has to obey. So no matter how dissatisfied the monsters were, they dared not say a word to Gu Zhifei.
In the minds of the monsters, Gu Zhifei lived a very carefree life. But only Gu Zhifei herself knew that her doubts were still unanswered.
How did she come here? What is her true identity? Where is she going? Gu Zhifei had no idea about all this. She only knew that she was currently the cauldron that the old immortals of Jinyuan Sect valued.
However, her current cultivation level is the Golden Core Stage. Based on this point of view, she should not fall into the hands of ordinary cultivators.
And the male cultivator who had just been beaten to death by her was only in the Qi training stage, yet he dared to order her around, which meant that he had no idea that she was a Jindan stage cultivator at all.
Could it be that she was actually an undercover agent? She sneaked into the Jinyuan Sect to see if they had committed any evil? Gu Zhifei thought about it and felt that this was unlikely. If she was really an undercover agent, then when she became the furnace cauldron, she should have reported this matter.
But she didn't do that, which meant she didn't mean it.
Could it be that there is some treasure in the Jinyuan Sect that is worthy of her covetousness? Gu Zhifei thought to herself, feeling a little itchy, and she felt that this was probably the case.
However, according to the current situation, she cannot go back. Since she has already openly torn her relations with Jinyuan Sect, it is likely that it will be difficult for her to get what she wants in a short period of time.
With this in mind, Gu Zhifei planned to settle down here first.
Unfortunately, there are always people who don't want to give her a peaceful life.
Perhaps because Gu Zhifei had lost her memory, she didn't know much about this place. She only escaped for half a month before being brought back to Jinyuan Sect by four elders in white.
She probably thought too simply, thinking that if she threw away the two storage bags, the other party would not be able to find her, but she did not expect that they had another way to find her.
Yes, Gu Zhifei thought that after all, he was known as the first cauldron that was rarely seen in a thousand years. How could it be possible that the other party would not find a way to find him?
So she was taken back to Jinyuan Sect.
There seemed to be some turmoil within the Jinyuan Sect. After Gu Zhifei was taken back to the sect and locked up, no one paid any attention to her anymore.
Don't care if she runs around.
No, is it really okay for you to leave a Jindan stage furnace aside? Gu Zhifei felt that even though he was currently in the Jindan stage, he didn't seem to have the treatment of a Jindan stage.
She soon got the answer to this question.
She wandered around and found herself being placed next to a large bunk bed.
There were more than a dozen little girls in the large bunk bed, all of whom were female cultivators selected to be used as cauldrons.
One of the female cultivators seemed to be very familiar with her and waved at her: "Gu Zhifei, didn't you escape? How come you were caught again?"
Gu Zhifei had a bewildered look on his face, but his focus was on the word "again" that the female cultivator said.
Why did you say again? Has she been arrested many times before?
After thinking it over again and again, she decided to get some information out of this female cultivator.
"My luck wasn't very good this time." Gu Zhifei pretended to be familiar with it and said, "But I've been running for half a month. How about you?"
"I don't have such ability." The female cultivator smiled and shook her head, "If I could have the cultivation base of the Golden Core Stage, I wouldn't have to live in this big bunk bed."
Gu Zhifei was shocked in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. He smiled and exchanged a few more words with the female cultivator before returning to his own room.
It turned out that this female cultivator knew that she was in the Jindan stage. Since she knew it, there was no reason why others wouldn't know it.
Gu Zhifei quickly made assumptions in his mind and soon figured out the reason for this matter.
It seems that the golden elixir stage of the furnace and the golden elixir of the cultivator are actually different.
If the cultivator's Jindan stage can cause substantial damage, then the furnace's Jindan stage is just a vase, just a decoration. It is a prop to set up for others.
As a one-in-a-million prop, Gu Zhifei encountered a malfunction and she was transformed from a cauldron into a cultivator.
But the good thing is that she doesn't need to hide her cultivation, and no one can discover her abnormality.
Because she is indeed in the Jindan stage, but if she doesn't take action, no one can find out where the problem lies.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhifei simply decided not to run away and settled down in Jinyuan Sect.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
When she was bored, she continued to drive the monsters in her storage bag to work for her and earn money.
Therefore, cultivators often saw dark shadows at night, but they did not think of them as monsters.
After all, how could so many monsters suddenly appear in one's own sect?
While the monsters are out working, Gu Zhifei will also go out to inquire about the news of the Jinyuan Sect.
She found out that the chief elder's only son had died in an accident for unknown reasons. The reason why Jinyuan Sect was in such a mess was because the chief elder lost his temper and was determined to find the villain who broke his child.
As the villain, Gu Zhifei felt that he was very innocent.
However, she was still a little nervous when she heard that the chief elder had reconstructed the scene of killing his child.
After all, she was just a little Jindan stage. What if she got into a fight with someone and accidentally killed them? Wouldn't she be the worst of the worst, making evil even worse?
Thinking this way, Gu Zhifei decided to cause some trouble in Jinyuan Sect.
She used the staff in her storage bag to open the cell door that held all the Furnace Monks, and tried to find a way to release everyone.
This caused quite a stir for the Jinyuan Sect.
It is said that the chief elder's beard stood up in anger.
Gu Zhifei doesn't care about that.
She found that a seemingly shabby compass in her bag was also very useful.
He arranged a formation according to his inexplicable memory, and accidentally broke the fragile barrier of Jinyuan Sect, and accidentally released all the female cultivators from the sect.
The female nuns were of course overjoyed when they were liberated, so they fled in all directions and could not be found again.
As a result, the entire sect’s more than ten years of hard work was defeated in Gu Zhifei’s hands overnight.
The chief elder also became seriously ill due to these successive blows and was about to die. Upon hearing this news, Gu Zhifei decided to add fuel to the fire of the chief elder and send him directly to the dead.
Gu Zhifei, who had originally left, turned back and approached the chief elder's residence. He secretly cast an invisibility spell and approached his residence.
What made her feel strange was that there was nothing in the chief elder's room except the strong aroma of medicine and a medicine furnace boiling on the stove.
There were no servants, let alone the chief elder himself.
Gu Zhifei thought to himself that something was wrong and realized that he had been fooled. He turned back, but it was too late.
The chief elder was standing behind her, looking at her with a smile, a fierce light flashing in his eyes, not kind at all.
Gu Zhifei laughed dryly and greeted him: "What a coincidence, you are out for a walk too?"
The chief elder just looked at her steadily, neither speaking nor smiling.
This was too creepy. Gu Zhifei continued to laugh dryly: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
She was about to leave when she heard the chief elder sneer:
"I thought about it over and over again, but I didn't expect that the person who was interfering was you."
It's really not easy for you, Gu Zhifei thought.
She slipped away, but just as she was about to run away, she felt a huge amount of energy bursting out of the body of the chief elder in front of her.
He doesn't look like a cultivator at all as his appearance suggests. He is simply an evil cultivator wearing a cultivator's mask.
However, how could someone who has spent more than ten years collecting furnaces and tripods and intends to use them be a reputable and upright person?
Gu Zhifei smiled bitterly in his heart, feeling that he had met a tough guy.
If it weren't for the fact that there was a high probability that he had a special mark left by the Jinyuan Sect on his body, and they would always find a way to find him no matter how far he ran, Gu Zhifei would not have wanted to come back this time.
It was just that whether she came back or not, she would be caught sooner or later. But as a furnace tripod, she was originally safe.
But now, when it was revealed that she was the murderer who killed the chief elder's son, it meant that this matter would never end well.
One of her and the chief elder must die.
While the other elders have not arrived yet, a choice can still be made on this issue. If we delay it for a while and wait until the other elders have arrived, there will only be one answer to this choice.
However, the reason why the chief elder is called the chief is because his strength is above that of other elders.
Gu Zhifei's only advantage is that the chief elder has no idea how strong she really is.
It’s just that Gu Zhifei didn’t make good use of this opportunity.
Perhaps because the pain of losing his son was too much of a shock to the chief elder, he didn't even give Gu Zhifei a chance to argue and attacked with his most powerful killer move.
The law that villains die because they talk too much has no meaning in front of him.
Because he only wanted to kill Gu Zhifei.
In an instant, all the pressure came to him. Gu Zhifei's face turned pale, but his mind was working rapidly.
A head-on confrontation is absolutely not an option, as the strength between her and the chief elder is far behind. Since a head-on confrontation is not an option, they can compare their soft power.
An idea suddenly came to Gu Zhifei's mind, and she felt that she could take a risk and give it a try.
