Lan Yao was ecstatic about Gu Sheng's invitation.
The two parties sat opposite each other and drank happily.
While drunk, Lan Yao looked at Gu Sheng with drunken eyes.
"Gu Sheng, you and I have fulfilled our three promises twice. Next time we meet, can you agree to my request and be friends with me?"
Hearing his words, Gu Sheng smiled.
"You appear here this time, are you going to Stone Village to look for me?"
"Well, they said you were dead, but I didn't believe it."
"Why don't you believe it?"
"Firstly, I don't believe them, and secondly, you are not that fragile in my eyes. You are so resourceful, how could you die at the hands of that group of people?"
"Do you think they did it?"
"Who else besides them? It must be the idea of the Black Fiend Sect master. Gu Sheng, if you want to kill him, I will help you."
Seeing the sincerity in his eyes, Gu Sheng raised his lips.
"No, I will take revenge on myself."
After finishing his words, Gu Sheng raised his hand, and a spiritual energy rose up, surrounding them all in the middle, blocking everything from the outside world.
"Lan Yao, if I said I got the spirit bead, how would you feel?"
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Lan Yao's eyes lit up.
"Gu Sheng, have you really got the spirit bead? Great! Once you get the spirit bead, you can increase your spiritual energy for hundreds of years. Then won't it be easy for you to kill the Black Fiend Sect leader?!"
"No, in addition to the Black Fiend Sect master, there is also the Purple Cloud Peak master. The two of them are colluding. Anyone left behind will be a disaster and must die."
Hearing that he was always thinking about himself, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Aren't you curious how I got the spirit beads?"
"There's nothing to be curious about. There are only two ways to get the spirit beads. One is strength, and the other is fate. If you can get it, you naturally have one of them."
"You came here for the spirit beads this time. I got them. Are you feeling unbalanced?"
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Lan Yao smiled and shook his head.
"If someone else gets it, I might be jealous, but if you get it, I won't be happy before it's too late, because I'm not here for the spirit beads, I'm here for the roots of the century-old tree, and the roots are the most important to us Elf race."
Lan Yao explained, and then Gu Sheng knew the purpose of Elf race.
But Lan Yao was not a little jealous that he got the spirit bead, he was still surprised.
After all, in his eyes, they were not friends yet. He didn't expect Lan Yao's friendship to be so important.
Gu Sheng dissipated the spiritual energy, and the two stopped talking about this topic.
Shi Lou and others drank a lot of wine and were extremely drunk at this time.
Seeing this, Gu Sheng stood up and said goodbye to Lan Yao.
"They are drunk. I will take them back to rest first. We will meet again if we are destined."
Lan Yao sighed, but nodded.
"Okay, see you later."
After Gu Sheng led everyone back to the room, he flicked his fingertips, and the spiritual energy flew everywhere and disappeared directly into everyone's eyebrows.
Soon, the smell of alcohol on everyone's bodies completely dissipated.
Looking at them, the curvature of the corners of Gu Sheng's mouth continued to widen.
"This time I went to South Mountain. Not only did I get the spirit bead, I also got the treasure under the spirit bead."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Shi Lou, Er Gou and others lit up.
"Brother Sheng, are you kidding us?"
Gu Sheng smiled and directly placed the treasure divided into equal parts in front of them.
"Do you think I'm kidding you?"
Looking at the treasure, Shi Lou drooled and shook his head hastily. "No, no, how could Brother Sheng tease us with such a thing? Brother Sheng, are all these in front of me mine?"
"Yes, each person has one share, and each share is equal. Everyone can look at each other, and if you are dissatisfied, just tell us, and we can redistribute it."
After he finished speaking, everyone shook their heads. No one was dissatisfied with his allocation. Everyone looked at their own share with bright eyes, extremely happy.
Seeing their money-obsessed looks, Gu Sheng couldn't help laughing.
"Everyone, please collect your treasures and try not to leak any wealth when you go out, so as not to cause any problems."
"Brother Sheng, can we use these treasures at our own disposal?"
After Er Gou asked, Gu Sheng pinched his eyebrows helplessly.
"This is yours, of course you can use it as you wish."
"What about yours? Why haven't I seen yours?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Gu Sheng's face.
"I don't have it. I have already taken the spirit bead. I can no longer share the treasure with you."
Gu Sheng After finishing speaking, everyone frowned.
Huang Shan stood up and said, "Brother Sheng, you got the treasure, you should have your share. You have helped us so much and saved our lives many times. We cannot take advantage of you."
After saying that, he directly divided part of his treasure.
Seeing his actions, Shi Lou and others also wanted to do the same.
Gu Sheng's fingertips moved, and their spiritual power blocked their movements.
"I took the spirit beads and have already taken up most of these treasures. I can't divide these things any more."
"Brother Sheng, you are wrong to think that way. We have agreed a long time ago that the Lingzhu only belongs to you, and we still have to share the rest equally."
Huang Shan After finishing speaking, everyone nodded.
Gu Sheng sighed and said, "I never thought about this treasure from the beginning. I relied on your help to get the spirit beads. When I help you, you are also helping me. I feel guilty for monopolizing the spirit beads. How can I take advantage of others? These things belong to you. You can just keep them. If you give them to me, it will only add psychological burden to me. Don't make me feel uncomfortable."
"Brother Sheng..."
"Don't say too much. If you want to share everything equally, I will take out the spirit beads and share the spiritual power on them."
Gu Sheng As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
Seeing them like this, Gu Sheng smiled.
"Okay, we are all brothers, no one cares so much. Put your things away quickly and rest early. We will return to Stone Village tomorrow."
Several people couldn't tell Gu Sheng, so they could only do what he said.
Early the next morning, several people got up early.
They left the inn before the sun had risen.
After leaving the city and reaching the wilderness, Gu Sheng suddenly stopped.
"It's almost noon, the sun is a bit fierce, let's take a rest."
Hearing this, everyone felt a little strange.
Now that the sun has just risen and there is still some time before noon, Gu Sheng actually takes the initiative to take a rest, which is really strange.
Because they had been running around for so long, Gu Sheng never cared whether the sun was scorching or not. As long as he wanted to go on his way, nothing could stop him. They were also used to being fearless with him, but when he suddenly asked for a rest under such a bad excuse, everyone was surprised and puzzled.
Several people looked at each other and sat down silently.
Gu Sheng leaned against the tree and closed his eyes to take a nap as soon as he sat down, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking.
As time continued to pass, Er Gou couldn't sit still, so he came up to him and poked his arm.
"Brother Sheng, do we still want to rest?"
"Yes."
"Didn't you say you were going back to Stone Village today? Why did you take a break all of a sudden? Brother Sheng, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Er Gou After asking, everyone's eyes turned to him.
Gu Sheng felt something and turned his head to the side.
"I'm not uncomfortable, it's just that the sun is too hot, so I just need to take a break."
Hearing him use this sentence as an excuse again, Er Gou became more and more confused.
"Brother Sheng, what's wrong with you? Why don't you tell me, I'm a little worried about you being like this."
Gu Sheng didn't speak, but Er Gou asked reluctantly.
He kept asking as long as he remained silent.
When everyone was dumbfounded, Lan Yao's surprised voice suddenly came from the distance. "Gu Sheng, you are actually here!"
Hearing his voice, Gu Sheng opened his eyes.
"Yeah, what a coincidence."
What a coincidence after hearing this sentence, Er Gou and others were all confused.
They finally knew why Gu Sheng stayed here with such a lame excuse. It turned out to be to create an opportunity to meet.
With understanding in their hearts, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Elf race's people.
"Lan Yao, why are you here? Aren't you going to return to Elf race?"
After Shi Lou asked, Lan Yao shook the thing in his hand.
"While drinking last night, I left Gu Sheng's things behind. I was planning to return to Elf race, but after thinking about it I had to give him something. I don't know what this thing is. What if it's important?"
Looking at the thing in his hand, everyone found that it was just an insignificant box. It was originally intended to contain Fire Red Flower. After Fire Red Flower was gone, the box became idle.
As for why this box appears on the table, everyone at Stone Village knows it well.
After three appointments, Lan Yao worked hard twice, so Gu Sheng naturally has to take a step forward.
"Since I met you here, I'll give it back to you."
Looking at the box in Lan Yao's hand, Gu Sheng did not reach out.
"Haven't you always been curious about what a house made of gloomy wood looks like? Do you want to go to Stone Village with me to have a look?"
Hearing this, Lan Yao's eyes lit up.
"Gu Sheng, what do you mean..."
"Three times, this happens to be the third time. If you haven't changed your mind, let's make friends."
Finally, after hearing these words, Lan Yao nodded excitedly.
"Okay, you can't go back on your word."
"Are you going or not?"
"Go, why don't you go! Let's go!"
Gu Sheng smiled and rushed to Stone Village with everyone.
On the way, he asked curiously, "How did everyone at South Mountain react when they didn't find the spirit bead?"
"Of course I suspect someone took it."
"They doubt me?"
"Yes, but the people from the Black Fiend Sect and Purple Cloud Peak helped you clear your suspicions. They said that since you died, the matter should have ended without any problems. People may think that the appearance of the spirit bead is a rumor."
Speaking of this, Lan Yao paused.
"Gu Sheng, if one day they find out that you are not dead, will they cause trouble for you?"
"There is a hundred years of spiritual power in the spirit bead. Once it is absorbed by me, who do you think will be my opponent? Even if they know the truth, they will cover their mouths."
Thinking about it carefully, Lan Yao thinks what he said makes sense. As long as Gu Sheng is strong enough, those people will keep their mouths shut.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and did not mention the topic again.
In the evening of the next day, everyone finally arrived at Stone Village.
Seeing a group of people approaching, the people in Stone Village immediately went home, because for them, home is the best shield.
Even if someone comes with murderous intent, they can't break Yin Chenmu's formation and they can't be killed.
While everyone was hiding in the room to check, Shi Lou jumped to a high place.
"Fathers and fellow villagers, don't hide in the house and peek, we are back!"
He shouted loudly, and every household immediately opened their doors.
"Gu Sheng, you are back!"
Looking at everyone, Gu Sheng smiled and nodded.
"I'm back. The person next to me is Lan Yao from Elf race. The people next to him are his subordinates. They are here to be guests of our Stone Village."
Knowing that these strangers were guests from Elf race, everyone at Stone Village was extremely enthusiastic.
Third Elder looked at Gu Sheng and asked with concern, "Gu Sheng, is anyone among you injured?"
"No, on the contrary, Shi Lou and Er Gou's cultivation levels have increased dramatically. They are about to break through now. It's not safe outside, so they have been suppressed until now."
Knowing that the two were about to break through, Third Elder was extremely happy.
"Great, the cultivation of these two skinny monkeys is finally going to another level. I originally thought that this step would have to wait for another two years, but I didn't expect that they would reach this level in just a short time after being with you. Gu Sheng, you are really their great benefactor!"
"Third Elder I'm serious. This is also the result of their own efforts. Let them enter the training room from tomorrow on."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
Third Elder called a few people, whispered a few words, and then those people left in a hurry.
At this time, someone looked over from behind Third Elder and asked curiously, "Gu Sheng, have you seen the spirit beads?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng turned his wrist and held the spirit bead directly in front of everyone's eyes.
Everyone was shocked when they saw the Lingzhu with their own eyes. They stared at the Lingzhu with pairs of eyes, so rare that they didn't even blink.
Seeing them like this, Gu Sheng couldn't laugh or cry.
After a long time, he put away the spirit beads, then took out some Purple Spirit Grass and handed them to Third Elder.
"Third Elder, this is what we got from South Mountain. Keep it. If anyone needs it in the future, you can just use it."
Holding Purple Spirit Grass, Third Elder is grateful.
"Gu Sheng, I thank you on behalf of everyone at Stone Village."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng was a little dissatisfied.
"Third Elder, what you said is obvious. Could it be that you didn't regard me as Stone Village's person?"
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Third Elder patted his mouth.
"Gu Sheng, you will always be our Stone Village, and we will rely on you to survive from now on."
"That's not the case. You're exaggerating."
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Shi Lou and Er Gou stepped forward, each took out a treasure and handed it to Third Elder.
"Third Elder, this is what Brother Sheng gave to us. You can take it and use it to maintain Stone Village's daily expenses."
Huang Shan understood and turned to look at the others. Everyone took out something and handed it to Third Elder.
Third Elder was so happy that he accepted the things after being polite.
"Okay, okay, I accept all your wishes. There are guests here today. You take the guests to have a rest first. We will go get ready and welcome the guests in the evening."
Gu Sheng nodded and took Lan Yao back to his yard.
Lan Yao looked at Gu Sheng's yard curiously, and finally set his sights on a corner of the yard.
He squatted in front of a plant and examined it carefully for a long time, and then his eyes lit up.
