"Gu Sheng, do you know the importance of 'source'?" Lin Qingyu said slowly, "If you are willing to exchange 'source' for ten lives of blessings, I can help you arrange it."
Gu Sheng looked at Lin Qingyu's clear eyes and felt in a trance. But he quickly regained consciousness and shook his head firmly. "I appreciate Miss Lin's kindness, but 'Yuan' means a lot to me and I can't exchange it."
Lin Qingyu sighed lightly and said nothing more.
Gu Sheng looked at Lin Qingyu's leaving figure with a chill in his heart, secretly sighing that the human heart is unpredictable!
In the past ten days, Gu Sheng's cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. He practiced with great concentration in the bamboo forest and constantly exceeded his limits. And that mysterious "source" seemed to have some kind of wonderful resonance with him, making his path of cultivation smoother and smoother.
The good times did not last long. As Gu Sheng became more and more famous in Purple Sun Grotto-Heaven, trouble also followed. A conspiracy against him was quietly brewing.
The night was as dark as ink, and a crescent moon hung high in the sky. Gu Sheng sat cross-legged in the depths of the bamboo forest, the spiritual energy around him pouring into his body like threads. Suddenly, a rush of footsteps broke the tranquility of the night.
"Gu Sheng! Come out and die!" An arrogant voice echoed in the bamboo forest.
Gu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, a hint of coldness flashed across his face. He stood up and walked out of the bamboo forest, only to see several monks in black staring at him fiercely.
"Who are you? Why are you coming to trouble me?" Gu Sheng asked coldly.
"Haha! Who are we, you ask? We are the elite disciples of Purple Sun Grotto-Heaven! You have messed with people you shouldn't mess with in Grotto-Heaven, and now is the day you die!" One of the monks in black said with a sinister smile.
Gu Sheng felt a shiver in his heart. He knew that these people were coming for the "source" in his hand. He took a deep breath and secretly used his skills to prepare for the upcoming battle.
"Hmph! You want my life? Look who wants whose life!" Gu Sheng shouted coldly, and disappeared in an instant.
The black-clothed monks were stunned for a moment, then realized what they were doing and chased after them one after another. A thrilling battle unfolded in the night,
Gu Sheng relied on his flexible movement and powerful skills to engage in a fierce battle with the monks in black. Each of his punches and kicks contained powerful power, which made the black-clothed monks tired of dealing with it.
"Bang——" A monk in black was punched in the chest by Gu Sheng and flew backwards. Seeing this, the other monks retreated in horror.
"You are no match for me, so hurry up and leave!" Gu Sheng said coldly.
The monks in black looked at each other, with a trace of unwillingness and fear flashing in their eyes. They knew that today's mission had failed and that continuing would only lead to their own destruction. So, they turned around and left, disappearing into the night.
Gu Sheng looked at the monks in black clothes leaving and felt relieved.
"Huh--" A strong wind blew by, and the bamboo leaves rustled in the green bamboo forest of Purple Sun Grotto-Heaven, as if telling an unknown secret.
Gu Sheng stood deep in the bamboo forest, his face calm, but he could not hide the determination in his eyes. Around him, Lin Qingyu and several young disciples were trying to persuade him to give up the mysterious "source".
"Gu Sheng, do you really want to take risks for this 'source'?" Lin Qingyu's voice was soft but with a hint of worry, "A mortal holding it will only lead to endless disasters."
"Miss Lin, I have made up my mind." Gu Sheng's voice was firm and decisive, "This 'source' to me is not only wealth, but also the key to my practice."
Other disciples tried to persuade him one after another, their words full of eagerness and worry, but Gu Sheng just smiled and shook his head, expressing his gratitude without giving in.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the bamboo forest. A knight rode a strange beast and stormed into Purple Sun Grotto-Heaven menacingly.
"Who dares to attack me Purple Sun Grotto-Heaven!" Purple Sun Grotto-Heaven's second master appeared instantly and started a fierce battle with the knight.
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed, and he realized that this was a good opportunity to escape. He took a deep breath, secretly activated his skills, and prepared to leave in the chaos.
"Boom -" there was a loud noise, and the knight was captured by the master and imprisoned in a stone prison. Gu Sheng took the opportunity to leave quietly, but found someone following him on the way.
"Hmph! You want to steal my 'source'?" Gu Sheng thought to himself. He hid behind a boulder, preparing to give the pursuer a fatal blow.
The pursuer was getting closer and closer, Gu Sheng activated his skills, golden light flowed all over his body, and a powerful aura emanated from him. He jumped out suddenly and struck out with a palm, killing the pursuer instantly with his golden palm.
Gu Sheng's actions did not end here. He felt someone else approaching from behind, so he sped away without looking back.
In the process of escaping, Gu Sheng continued to activate his skills, and visions of mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, flowers, birds, and animals emerged behind him, golden waves rolled, and his aura was powerful. His Primordial Saint Body body was golden, as if a god of war had descended into the world.
"Whoosh——" A sword light flashed, and Gu Sheng pulled out the Earth-grade low-rank treasure weapon Profound Heaven Sword. The sword energy was overwhelming and overwhelming. He waved his sword, cutting off the obstacles in front of him, and moved forward.
"Where to escape!" A cold shout came, but one of Lin Qingyu's senior brothers blocked the way. A trace of greed flashed in his eyes, and he obviously came here for the "source".
Gu Sheng sneered, and passed by like the wind. The Profound Heaven Sword in his hand drew a perfect arc and went straight to the opponent's vital point. The senior brother was frightened and quickly waved his sword to resist, but it was already a step too late.
"Pfft——" With a soft sound, Profound Heaven Sword penetrated his chest. He widened his eyes and looked at Gu Sheng in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that this mortal boy had such strength.
Gu Sheng did not stay. He knew that his whereabouts had been exposed and he must leave this place as soon as possible. His figure flashed and disappeared into the dense bamboo forest.
His escape didn't end there. More Purple Sun Grotto-Heaven disciples were alerted and chased in this direction. Gu Sheng relies on the magical effects of Gale Nine Swords and Carefree Immortal Step to flexibly shuttle through the bamboo forest and avoid pursuing soldiers.
"——" Several sword energy attacks came, but Gu Sheng skillfully dodged them. His figure was like the wind, sometimes appearing on the treetops, sometimes hiding in the grass, leaving the pursuers helpless.
Suddenly, a pursuer discovered the traces of Gu Sheng and shouted, "There he is!" Immediately, several disciples surrounded him.
Gu Sheng sneered and activated Nine Secrets: Jie, doubling his combat power instantly. He waved Profound Heaven Sword and started a fierce battle with his pursuers. While the sword energy was flowing horizontally and the golden light flashed, several disciples had already fallen into a pool of blood.
The remaining pursuers were frightened and retreated one after another. Gu Sheng had no intention of letting them go. In a flash, he appeared behind a disciple, and a sword penetrated his chest.
"Ah——" A scream rang out, and another disciple fell to the ground. Seeing this, the other disciples scattered and fled.
Gu Sheng did not continue to pursue, he knew that his goal had been achieved. He took a deep breath, put Profound Heaven Sword into its sheath, turned around and disappeared into the dense bamboo forest.
While escaping, he felt someone else approaching from behind. But he didn't look back, he just accelerated and ran forward.
He knew that only by escaping from this place could he find a quiet place to practice and improve his strength.
The night is as dark as ink, with few clouds and stars. Gu Sheng was galloping through the dense forest, followed closely by the disciples of Purple Sun Grotto-Heaven. His heart beat as fast as a drum, but his steps became more determined.
"Whoosh——" A sound broke through the air. Gu Sheng instantly dodged a disciple's hidden weapon attack and continued to run away like the wind.
"Gu Sheng! You can't escape!" An angry shout came from behind, but it only made Gu Sheng fly forward more firmly.
Suddenly, two disciples of Purple Sun Grotto-Heaven came from the front, holding long swords and with cold light shining in their eyes. Gu Sheng sneered, and his body flew past like the wind, appearing behind the two of them in an instant, and hitting the back of their necks with his hands as fast as lightning.
"Bang! Bang!" There were two muffled sounds, and the two disciples fell to the ground, unconscious. Gu Sheng did not use Golden Book, but relied on his own skill and wisdom to create this illusion, making the pursuers mistakenly believe that he only relied on brute force and sneak attacks to win.
The sound of pursuit from behind was getting closer and closer, and Gu Sheng knew that he could not continue to escape like this. He took a deep breath, activated Golden Book's power, and his figure disappeared instantly.
"Whoosh——" Gu Sheng's figure suddenly appeared behind a pursuer. Profound Heaven Sword in his hand bloomed with bright sword light, and he killed the opponent with one sword. The other disciples were horrified when they saw this and retreated one after another.
Gu Sheng didn't stop. He shuttled between the disciples like the wind, taking away a life every time he made a move. His swordsmanship is extremely sharp, and each sword hits the enemy's vital part with great precision.
At this moment, a melodious bell suddenly sounded from the direction of Purple Sun Grotto-Heaven, and all the chasing disciples stopped, with expressions of surprise on their faces. Gu Sheng also took the opportunity to flee the scene and disappeared into the night.
He guessed that something major might have happened to Purple Sun Grotto-Heaven, which made the disciples stop their pursuit. Gu Sheng took the opportunity to throw "Yuan" into the river to hide it, and he also found a secret cave to hide.
For half a month, he carefully avoided the pursuers and practiced his own skills at the same time. His cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds during this period of time and has reached a new level.
After confirming safety, Gu Sheng left the mountain range where Purple Sun Grotto-Heaven was located. He did not relax his vigilance because he knew that the knights of the Jiang Family were still tracking him.
Gu Sheng began to wonder if other treasures on his body had attracted attention. He carefully checked his belongings and finally locked his eyes on Bodhi Seed in his hand. This Bodhi Seed is crystal clear and exudes a faint light, as if it contains endless Buddhist power.
He thought to himself, "Is it this Bodhi Seed that attracted the Jiang Family knight?" In order to verify his conjecture, Gu Sheng decided to hide Bodhi Seed and observe the reaction of the Jiang Family knight.
Sure enough, after hiding Bodhi Seed, the tracking frequency of the Jiang Family knight was significantly reduced. Gu Sheng was secretly happy, knowing that his guess was correct.
He didn't let his guard down. Because he knew that he had so many treasures that it would inevitably attract the attention of others. He must move forward more cautiously to avoid getting into danger again.
In the process of escaping, Gu Sheng came to an ancient city. This ancient city has a long history, with towering ancient trees on both sides of the streets and simple and elegant architectural styles. Gu Sheng shuttled through the streets and felt the cultural heritage of this ancient city.
Suddenly, he felt a powerful aura locking onto him. Gu Sheng was startled and looked up, only to see an old man standing not far away looking at him. This old man was wearing a gray robe, with white beard and hair, and his eyes were shining.
"Gu Sheng little friend, I'm Lingxu Grotto-Heaven Elder Han." The old man said with a smile, "I've been looking for you for a long time."
Gu Sheng's heart sank. He knew that Elder Han's reputation was not good. This person was good at refining medicine and often used monks with advanced cultivation as the main medicine for refining medicine. He took a deep breath, tried to stay calm and said, "Elder Han, what do you want from me?"
"Haha!" Elder Han laughed, "Gu Sheng, little friend, don't be nervous. I heard that you have a rare treasure, so I came here to find out."
Gu Sheng cursed "old fox" in his heart, but kept a smile on his face and said, "Elder Han I'm just joking, I'm just an ordinary monk, how can I have any rare treasures?"
"Hmph!" Elder Han snorted coldly, "Gu Sheng, there is no need to hide it. I have investigated everything clearly. You have many treasures on your body, and each one is a rare treasure. Especially the Bodhi Seed, I am very excited."
Gu Sheng's heart tightened, he knew that his true identity had been found out by the other party. There is no point in trying to hide it at this point. He took a deep breath and said, "Since Elder Han already knows my secret, I have nothing to hide. But what I want to know is what is Elder Han's purpose in finding you?"
"Haha!" Elder Han laughed again, "Gu Sheng, little friend, you are really quick to talk! I won't beat around the bush. I came here this time to borrow the treasure you have on me."
"Borrow?" Gu Sheng sneered, "I'm afraid Elder Han means borrowing without repaying it, right?"
"Huh! Gu Sheng, little friend, don't toast me and you will be punished with a drink!" Elder Han's face darkened, "I've already given you enough face. If you don't know how to show appreciation, don't blame me for being rude!"
Gu Sheng took a deep breath, knowing that today's battle was inevitable. He activated the technique, and golden light flowed all over his body, as if a god of war had descended into the world. His eyes were shining with determination, and he was ready to fight Elder Han to the end!
The night was hazy and the moonlight was shining, but it could not illuminate the depth of this dense forest. Gu Sheng was escorted by Elder Han, deep into a barren mountain in Yan Land. Elder Han On the withered face, a pair of eyes shone with a cold light, as if looking at a prey that had already been obtained.
"Boy, don't even think about escaping." Elder Han said coldly, with unquestionable majesty in his tone. "The treasures on your body, as well as the Primordial Saint Body's body, will become the materials for me to refine Vitality Returning Pill."
Gu Sheng's heart sank, but he did not give up. He secretly used his skills and prepared to look for opportunities to counterattack. His Primordial Saint Body glowed faintly golden in the night, as if it was the external manifestation of his inner unyielding will.
Suddenly, Elder Han stopped and looked around warily. Gu Sheng also felt the strange atmosphere around him, and his heart moved. Could it be that reinforcements are coming?
