Pagoda King The subordinates were immediately relieved when their boss said this.

"Brothers! Escape quickly!"

After giving the order, Pagoda King and his dozens of subordinates all withdrew.

Ji Ziyue watched the people who were chasing them leave, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally left..."

Ji Ziyue closed his eyes slightly, and a feeling of exhaustion immediately came to his heart.

"Miss Ziyue, are you okay?"

The Ji Family soldier who led the way stepped forward and expressed concern.

"It's okay..."

Ji Ziyue replied.

"By the way, Ancestor Ji Hui is not far ahead, come with me."

The leading Ji Family soldier pointed to the rear and said.

"Yeah."

Ji Ziyue responded, "Gu Sheng, you come with us."

"Is this... is this appropriate?"

Gu Sheng hesitated.

Just now Ji Ziyue made it clear that Great Void Technique of the Ji Family is the Ji Family secret method.

Now I am practicing this method for some special reasons, which cannot be justified in any case.

Seeing that Gu Sheng was hesitant, Ji Ziyue stepped forward and asked, "Why are you standing there? Let's go?"

"Uh... Ziyue, why don't I go?"

Gu Sheng stood there with a somewhat embarrassed smile on his face.

"What? Aren't you afraid that Pagoda King will cause trouble for you again?"

Ji Ziyue frowned slightly, not understanding Gu Sheng's decision.

"It's okay, I should... should be able to handle it."

Gu Sheng nodded and said.

"No, you must come with me today. If there is any problem with ancestors, I will solve it. Don't worry."

Ji Ziyue was resolute and stepped forward to hold Gu Sheng's hand, preventing him from leaving.

The Ji Family warrior on the side was stunned when he saw this.

It is said that men and women are not intimate, but the intimacy between the two of them when they entered the room really surprised them.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll go, can't I go?"

Gu Sheng half pushed and half pushed Ji Ziyue away to prevent others from gossiping.

"That's pretty much it."

Ji Ziyue then smiled with satisfaction.

Soon, the Ji Family soldiers took Ji Ziyue and Gu Sheng through several jungles and arrived at the residence of Ancestor Ji Hui.

Along the way, Ji Ziyue seemed very happy.

But Gu Sheng was a little embarrassed.

Because Gu Sheng doesn't want to see Ancestor Ji Hui at all, but wants to get rid of the current situation as soon as possible.

"Ancestor, Ziyue is back."

Ji Family soldier informed respectfully.

The door slowly opened, and Ancestor Ji Hui's figure appeared at the door.

Gu Sheng noticed that Ancestor Ji Hui was an old woman.

Her clothes and temperament have a simple but gorgeous feel. It can be seen that she was definitely not an ordinary person when she was young.

Her eyes were sharp, and she saw Ji Ziyue's slightly embarrassed appearance at a glance.

Immediately, the ancestor frowned, concern welling up in his heart.

"Xiao Ziyue, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

Ancestor Ji Hui seemed very concerned.

But yes, when the elders see the younger generation's appearance, they don't worry about it being fake.

Ji Ziyue ignored his own embarrassment and directly took Gu Sheng's hand and eagerly introduced to Ancestor Ji Hui, "Old Ancestor, this is Gu Sheng. If he hadn't helped me, I might not have been able to come back."

Ancestor Ji Hui's eyes glanced back and forth between the two of them.

She could see the unusual relationship between the two, the intimate actions, and the nervous look, all seemed to reveal a hint of love.

"Gu Sheng, right?"

Ancestor Ji Hui's voice was calm.

"Yes."

Gu Sheng nodded.

"You saved Ziyue, I'm very grateful, please come in."

The ancestor said, pulled Ji Ziyue, and walked inside with everyone.

When he came to the living room, the ancestor gently dusted off the dust on Ji Ziyue and kept chanting.

"Little Ziyue, little Ziyue, you are really worrying..."

"Ancestor, I'm fine. Look, aren't I fine?"

"You said it was okay. I heard a while ago that you were missing, and I also heard that Ji Family was in trouble. Do you think I can stop worrying?"

"Ancestor, I'm sorry... for making you worry."

An old man and a young man were chattering in front of Gu Sheng.

Such a scene suddenly made Gu Sheng feel homesick.

"Go freshen up and get dressed up."

The ancestor said with a smile.

"Yeah."

Ji Ziyue responded and said to Gu Sheng, "Gu Sheng, you wait for me here first, I will come in a moment."

"Well, you go ahead."

Gu Sheng nodded.

After Ji Ziyue left, the ancestor moved the others away.

"Gu Sheng, right?"

After the two sat down, the ancestor asked Gu Sheng with the same smile.

"Yes."

Gu Sheng nodded again.

"I want to know, what is your family background?"

Suddenly, the ancestor's voice changed.

That feeling made Gu Sheng very unhappy.

It's like he owes her Ji Family twenty-five or eighty thousand.

"Ancestor, I am not a queen from a famous Eastern Wasteland family, I am just a casual cultivator."

Gu Sheng made up a random name.

Ancestor Ji Hui nodded slightly, seeming to have guessed the result.

"Well, I basically know everything about Eastern Wasteland's famous family. I'm just curious as to why Xiao Ziyue is with you."

The ancestor became serious.

Gu Sheng said nothing, but secretly muttered in his heart, "What on earth do your ancestors want to do?"

Seeing that Gu Sheng remained silent, the ancestor spoke again, "Gu Sheng, Great Void Technique, how did you practice?"

"Ziyue taught me this."

Gu Sheng dare not hide anything and tell the truth.

"Oh? Why?"

The ancestor asked.

"At that time, someone was chasing us. As a last resort, I used Primordial Qi of All Things to protect her, and she exchanged it with Great Void Technique to get rid of the pursuit."

Gu Sheng replied.

"Oh... it turns out to be Ru Cong."

The ancestor nodded gently, and then said, "That Great Void Technique is my Ji Family unique secret technique, which cannot be practiced by outsiders. I think you should understand what I mean."

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng immediately reacted.

"I understand, I understand. If you have anything to say, ancestor, just say it. I, Gu Sheng, will definitely obey it."

Gu Sheng stood up, cupped his hands and said.

"Well, young man, feel free!"

The ancestor nodded with satisfaction and said, "I ask you not to use Great Void Technique, otherwise, I will not let you go!"

Rucong's harsh tone really startled Gu Sheng.

This power didn't seem to come from the mouth of an old woman at all.

However, Gu Sheng doesn't care about this at all.

"Okay, I promise!"

Gu Sheng nodded.

Seeing how readily Gu Sheng agreed, the ancestor's expression calmed down a little.

"But then again, I, Ji Family, won't keep you busy for nothing. Tell me, what do you want?"

The ancestor said calmly.

"Ancestor, I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need any reward."

Gu Sheng smiled slightly and shook his head.

As a person who has traveled through the past in the 21st century, there is nothing rare here.

The ancestor's brows raised slightly. She didn't expect Gu Sheng to refuse so simply.

"Young man, do you know that I, Ji Family, never owe favors to you. If you help us, we will naturally repay you."

"Um..."

Gu Sheng was silent for a moment.

He could clearly feel that there was a trace of contempt in the ancestor's words.

After thinking briefly, Gu Sheng decided to make a request.

This request is not only to prove one's worth, but also to give the ancestor a "surprise".

"If the ancestor insists on giving, then I have a request."

Gu Sheng said slowly.

A trace of curiosity flashed in the ancestor's eyes, and she nodded.

"Tell me and listen."

"I want Bronze Immortal Palace's secret book of becoming an immortal."

Gu Sheng said in a calm voice.

"You..."

The ancestor's face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

She shook her head, "Young man, your request is too much."

"What?"

Gu Sheng asked with a smile.

"Bronze Immortal Palace Most of the people I have seen are dead. You are making things difficult for me by making this request."

The ancestor smiled and said.

"Ancestor, I am not making trouble unreasonably. The reason why I made this request is because I want to know whether there are immortals."

Gu Sheng said seriously.

"Alas... young people are still young people after all."

The ancestor sighed, and then said, "Gu Sheng, you should be more realistic."

Gu Sheng smiled slightly, knowing that his opportunity had come.

"Since the ancestor said so, I will say it bluntly. What I want is the so-called 'Yuan'."

"'Yuan'? You mean..."

A trace of surprise flashed in the ancestor's eyes.

She didn't expect Gu Sheng to make such a request.

"That's right, it's the 'Yuan' that can make people reborn, and even possibly touch the path of immortality."

Gu Sheng replied.

The ancestor pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay, I can promise you, but you have to know how powerful 'Yuan' is."

"I understand."

Gu Sheng nodded.

The ancestor looked at Gu Sheng's firm eyes and knew that this young man's determination would not change.

And compared to "Yuan", Bronze Immortal Palace's secret book of immortality is more difficult to obtain.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

After saying that, the ancestor stepped aside and waved his hand. "Ji Ren, take him there."

"Yes!"

The servant named Ji Ren responded and said to Gu Sheng, "Please come with me."

"Yeah."

Gu Sheng nodded and bowed deeply, "Thank you, ancestor."

Then, Gu Sheng followed Ji Ren towards the back hall.

Although Ji Ren, who was leading the way, was a servant, he was not young in terms of age.

In terms of seniority, Gu Sheng should at least call him uncle.

"Senior, where are we going?"

Gu Sheng asked following Ji Ren.

"Go get the 'yuan' you want."

Ji Ren replied calmly.

"Oh."

Gu Sheng responded and followed closely.

"Hello housekeeper."

"Steward Ji is good."

Gu Sheng, who was following Ji Ren, heard that the other servants were very respectful after seeing Ji Ren, and even called him "butler" affectionately.

In addition, the servants looked at Ji Ren with evasive eyes, as if they were afraid of something.

"Steward Ji? Are you Ji Family's butler?"

Gu Sheng asked casually.

"Not bad."

Ji Ren responded without replying.

In this way, Ji Ren led Gu Sheng through the many courtyards of the Ji Family and came to a seemingly ordinary wall.

Gu Sheng was a little confused and didn't understand why Ji Ren brought him here.

"Huhuhu..."

Suddenly, Ji Ren exuded a powerful divine power.

He stretched out his palm and gently pushed against the wall.

Under the impetus of divine power, the wall slowly disappeared, revealing a secret door.

"What!"

Gu Sheng opened his eyes in surprise.

He didn't expect that Ji Ren was so powerful that he could activate his divine power to open the small door hidden under the wall.

This kind of skill cannot be achieved by ordinary practitioners unless they have practiced Daoism for thousands of years.

"This... isn't this amazing?"

Gu Sheng looked at Ji Ren in surprise.

"Come in."

Ji Ren took back his divine power and said calmly.

Then, he walked into the small door first.

Gu Sheng followed closely and entered through the small door.

In an instant, Gu Sheng's eyes were immediately attracted by the scene in front of him.

This is a huge Secret Chamber. Secret Chamber is surrounded by various rare treasures.

Agarwood chariot, wasteland pearl, Hailing coral...

However, what attracted Gu Sheng's attention the most were the three suspended light balls in the center of Secret Chamber.

These light balls exude a soft light, and they are exactly the "element" that Gu Sheng is pursuing.

"There are actually three 'yuan' here?"

Gu Sheng's voice had a hint of trembling.

He stepped forward and waved his divine power slightly.

In an instant, these "elements" responded with powerful force.

"That's right."

Ji Ren nodded, "These 'yuan' are accumulated by me, Ji Family, over the generations, and each one is priceless."

Gu Sheng's eyes glanced back and forth between the three "elements".

He can feel that every "element" is different.

One of them glows red, representing strength.

The other is purple light, which represents wisdom.

The last one emits golden light, representing Yuanli.

"You can choose one."

Ji Ren's voice interrupted Gu Sheng.

"Huh..."

Gu Sheng took a deep breath, walked slowly towards the three "elements", and observed them carefully.

Then, Gu Sheng closed his eyes and felt his body's desire for these "elements".

Finally, he opened his eyes and pointed at the golden "Yuan".

"I choose this."

Gu Sheng's voice is firm and powerful.

Ji Ren glanced at the "yuan" pointed by Gu Sheng and nodded slightly.

"You have a good sense. This 'Yuan' contains strong vitality and is suitable for your physique."

A smile appeared on Gu Sheng's face, "Thank you."

Immediately, Ji Ren took the "yuan" and handed it to Gu Sheng.

"Keep it well."

Ji Ren said casually.

"This is all mine. Of course I have to keep it well. You can't break your promise, can you?"

Gu Sheng said half-jokingly.

Ji Ren didn't reply, just smiled and said, "Let's go, it's time for us to leave."

"Yeah."

Gu Sheng nodded and followed Ji Ren out of the small door.

The moment he walked out of the small door, Gu Sheng suddenly felt something strange about this golden "yuan".

"Hiss!"

Waves of power seemed to be penetrating into Gu Sheng's body.

Gu Sheng froze on the spot, looking at the "yuan" in his hand.

"What... what's going on?"

Gu Sheng asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"This 'yuan' senses that there are parts of your body that need repair, so it is repairing your body."

Ji Ren explained expressionlessly.

"Ah? So good?"

Gu Sheng was pleasantly surprised and felt the "yuan" treatment.

When he glanced at Ji Ren, he found a stern look in his eyes.
