Arriving in front of Gu Sheng, Peerless Hermit raised her hand and reached for his shoulder.
Gu Sheng only felt a warm current passing by, and then quickly disappeared.
When he was extremely surprised, Peerless Hermit had already retracted his hand.
"Whose disciple are you? Why are you so full of spiritual energy?"
Pursing his lips, Gu Sheng did not tell the truth, but said vaguely, "I just received some influence from spiritual herbs."
Looking at him, Peerless Hermit smiled inexplicably.
"That's it."
Gu Sheng didn't say anything, and she didn't point it out.
"You said before that I must be growing herbs for my own use, but do you know what injuries I suffered?"
"If I guess correctly, your Dantian is damaged and your meridians are blocked."
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Peerless Hermit nodded.
"You are indeed right."
As soon as she said this, Hong Mei's tears fell even harder.
"Master, how could you be so seriously injured? But what did Black and White Ghosts do?"
"They are just following orders. There is someone else who really wants my life."
"Master, Black and White Ghosts has been killed by Gu Sheng."
Hearing this, Peerless Hermit was extremely surprised.
"You mean Black and White Ghosts was killed by him?"
"Yes, it was him who killed Black and White Ghosts. After getting the clues, he took me to the prison where you were once held. After finding the clues, he took me back to the Cloud Sea. If it hadn't been for him, we might have missed the news about you."
Knowing this, Peerless Hermit's eyes changed when he looked at Gu Sheng.
"You come in with me."
After saying that, she turned around and went back to the room alone.
After Gu Sheng followed, the door immediately closed, isolating everyone.
Inside the room, Peerless Hermit's eyes were slightly sharp.
"Gu Sheng, who do you study under, and which sect do you come from? Why are you blessed with spiritual beads?"
Knowing that these things could not be hidden from her, Gu Sheng simply told the truth.
Knowing that he was from Stone Village and that the spirit beads on his body were obtained based on his strength, Peerless Hermit once again had a flash of surprise in his eyes.
"I didn't expect you to be able to accomplish something at such a young age. You are indeed a man of wisdom and your future is limitless."
Speaking of this, she looked at Gu Sheng.
"Do you know Heavenly Cang Sect?"
Hearing this, Gu Sheng was stunned for a moment.
Heavenly Cang Sect was the largest sect in the world many years ago. At that time, White Cloud Sect could only call himself his younger brother in front of him. It was not until the elders of the Heavenly Cang Sect ascended one by one that this largest sect in the world gradually became anonymous.
"Understand something."
As soon as Gu Sheng finished speaking, Peerless Hermit took out a token.
After taking a closer look, Gu Sheng was shocked and speechless, because what Peerless Hermit was holding was the token of leader Heavenly Cang Sect!
"This... this is..."
"That's right, after all the senior brothers ascended, I was the leader of the Heavenly Cang Sect. At that time, all the senior brothers ascended one by one, and the top power of the sect began to weaken. Saintly Hermit wanted to take the position of leader, so she began to secretly compete with me. I know her character very well. Can we give up the sect to her? We fought for a long time and destroyed a lot of the sect's power. In the end, there was no other way, so I took the token and secluded myself in the mountains. But as you can see, Heavenly Cang Sect still refused to let me go, so that's why today's scene happened."
"Saintly Hermit should have become a villain now, right?"
"That's right, she has done whatever it takes to get this token. As long as she doesn't die, she won't give up. That's why I created Mirror Sect to check and balance the power of her men."
After hearing the whole story, Gu Sheng suddenly realized.
"That's it."
After he finished speaking, Peerless Hermit looked at him seriously.
"You can make Hong Mei obedient, and you can also see the crux of my problem at a glance. It shows that you are talented and have extraordinary strength. I wonder if you are willing to work under me?"
Hearing this, Gu Sheng shook his head without hesitation.
"As a Stone Village person, I will never betray Stone Village."
"If you follow me, I can not only let you control Mirror Sect, but also let you be the messenger of the Heavenly Cang Sect. Even so, you are not willing?"
I have to say that the conditions given by Peerless Hermit are very attractive.
At this time, Gu Sheng only needs to nod, and his identity can jump up. The temptation is so great that it is really difficult to resist, but after repeated attempts, Gu Sheng still shook his head firmly.
"I will never betray Stone Village."
Hearing his words, Peerless Hermit curled his lips.
"You are kind and righteous."
After that, she put away the token.
"If I say you do something for me, I will take Stone Village under the Heavenly Cang Sect's sect. Are you willing?"
Peerless Hermit once again extended an olive branch, and Gu Sheng had to admit that he was really moved.
He wanted to protect Stone Village. Apart from using the dark wood, the only thing he could rely on was White Cloud Sect.
But in front of the Heavenly Cang Sect, White Cloud Sect is slightly inferior. If he can single-handedly classify Stone Village into the Heavenly Cang Sect, he will never have to worry about the safety of Stone Village again.
Seemingly seeing what he was thinking, Peerless Hermit said, "I don't need you to work hard for me, I just need you to revitalize Heavenly Cang Sect for me. Over time, if you can meet my requirements, I will give you everything you can't imagine."
When he said this, Peerless Hermit's tone was meaningful. Gu Sheng seemed to understand a little, but was a little confused.
"Why me?"
"Except for you, I have never seen anyone with such strong Hui Gen. To be honest, you are similar to Hui Gen, my senior brother, the previous head of the Heavenly Cang Sect, and there are very few people in this world who can make Hong Mei obedient. You can achieve both at the same time. It can be said that you are sent by God to help me."
Understanding what she meant, Gu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.
"Peerless Hermit, this matter is not something I can decide alone. How about you let me go back and discuss it with the elders Stone Village?"
"Okay, I'll give you a week. You take Stone Village people and leave, while the rest stay."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng was shocked.
"You mean..."
"Don't worry, you helped Hong Mei, and I will naturally not harm you. In order to thank you for your help, I will give each of the remaining people a copy of the technique as a thank you."
"Okay, let me talk to them."
When Gu Sheng turned to leave, Peerless Hermit called him again.
"Gu Sheng, think about it carefully, not everyone has this opportunity."
"Okay, I get it."
After agreeing again, Gu Sheng walked out the door.
Seeing him coming out, Bai Yu and others immediately greeted him.
The door at the back was open, so it was difficult for them to ask questions. They could only blink at Gu Sheng and signal him to speak first.
Seeing them like this, Gu Sheng couldn't help laughing.
"Peerless Hermit Just talk to me, why are you nervous?"
"Gu Sheng, just chat?"
After Bai Yu asked tentatively, Gu Sheng thought about it and said, "In fact, we didn't just chat, we also talked about some things that are related to you."
At this time, everyone was nervous.
Seeing them like this, Peerless Hermit also smiled.
"There's no one in the courtyard over there. I'll give you a place to stay for now. You've had a hard time traveling all the way. Let's go and have a rest first."
Knowing that she was looking for a place for them to talk, Gu Sheng nodded and led everyone towards that direction.
Back in the courtyard, as soon as the door closed, Lan Yao and others came over.
"Gu Sheng, what did Peerless Hermit say?"
"She said that as a thank you, she prepared a book of exercises for each of you and provided a venue for you to improve."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
"The techniques provided by Peerless Hermit are definitely extraordinary. If we can practice them, they will be of great benefit to our strength!"
Lan Yao Everyone agreed with this and were extremely excited for a moment.
They were extremely excited to see Shi Lou. Gu Sheng smiled and said, "You can practice, but Stone Village people can't."
As soon as he said this, Shi Lou and others became a little anxious.
"Brother Sheng, why can't we? Because we are not from a noble family, can't we practice?"
"It has nothing to do with my background. It's because I have to go back to Stone Village for something. You have to go back with me."
"Return to Stone Village? Brother Sheng, did something happen to Stone Village?"
"Don't be nervous. It's not a bad thing, it's a good thing. Peerless Hermit wants to win over me. My condition is to win over Stone Village. Peerless Hermit agreed. We have to go back and ask the elders."
"Peerless Hermit wants to win over you? Gu Sheng, you have reached the sky in one step!"
After Lan Yao finished speaking, Bai Yu shook his head in disapproval.
"That's not necessarily the case. Although Peerless Hermit is powerful, he only has Mirror Sect under his command. He is not even ranked in the world. How can he achieve success in one step? Gu Sheng, you have to think carefully."
Understanding what he meant, Gu Sheng nodded.
"I thought it through very clearly. Mirror Sect is secondary, Heavenly Cang Sect is primary."
Upon hearing the words Heavenly Cang Sect, everyone's eyes widened and they couldn't believe their ears.
Gu Sheng also knew that these words had too much impact on them, so he gave a brief explanation.
She learned that Peerless Hermit is actually the current head of the Heavenly Cang Sect, and as long as Gu Sheng nods, she can bring Stone Village under her door. This is indeed what Lan Yao said, Gu Sheng has really reached the sky in one step!
"Gu Sheng, what are you thinking about? Just nod! That was Heavenly Cang Sect, the once largest sect in the world! As long as it doesn't disappear, it's just a matter of moving your fingers to surpass White Cloud Sect. Why don't you agree to such a good thing quickly?"
"This matter cannot be decided by me alone. I have to go back and ask the elders."
After he finished speaking, Shi Lou was so anxious that he started to sweat.
"Brother Sheng, if the elders know that there is such a good thing, they will not refuse it! Just agree to it first, and then we can go back and tell them, right?"
"No, Stone Village is not my sect. I am not qualified to make this decision."
"Brother Sheng, although you didn't get the village leader's token, you are already the village leader in our hearts! It doesn't matter!"
Shi Lou and others tried to persuade him repeatedly, but Gu Sheng still stubbornly shook his head.
"No, this decision cannot be made by me, it must be made by the elders. I will return to Stone Village today. Do you want to come with me?"
Seeing that he insisted on doing this, Shi Lou and others could only nod.
Looking at Bai Yu and Lan Yao, Gu Sheng said, "You guys practice here first, I can return within a week."
Understanding what he meant, the two of them looked a little confused.
Seeing their expressions, Gu Sheng smiled.
"Don't worry, we'll go there quickly and come back quickly. We won't run into any trouble. Just stay here and wait for me."
After thinking again and again, the two finally nodded.
That afternoon, Gu Sheng prepared to take people away from the Cloud Sea.
Seeing them leaving, Hong Mei hurriedly chased after them.
"Gu Sheng, where are you going?"
"I want Stone Village back."
"Why? Did my master ask you to leave? Is there any misunderstanding between you two? Do you need me to help you tell it?"
Seeing her anxious look, Gu Sheng smiled and shook his head.
"There is no misunderstanding. Peerless Hermit wants me to join you, and by the way, give us Stone Village a hand. I can't make this decision. I have to go back and ask the elders for advice."
Upon learning this, Hong Mei's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Gu Sheng, is what you said true? You have agreed, right?"
"Yes, but again, I can't make this decision on my own, so I have to go back and ask for advice."
"Okay, I'll wait for you here."
After saying that, Hong Mei's face turned red. She took out a package and handed it to Gu Sheng.
"Gu Sheng, this is the elixir I promised you, take it."
After thinking about it, Gu Sheng took it.
"Thank you, I'll leave first then."
"Have a safe journey, I... we are waiting for you here."
Gu Sheng nodded, turned and left.
After he left, the sight behind him never disappeared, and it wasn't until a long time ago that the burning heat slowly dissipated.
He turned around and saw that Hong Mei had disappeared. Shi Lou then rushed to Gu Sheng and said with bright eyes, "Brother Sheng, I think Hong Mei seems to be interested in you."
"Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense! It's true! If you don't believe me, just ask Huang Shan, he never lies!"
When his name was called, Huang Shan also nodded seriously.
"I noticed it too."
"Look, I'm not the only one who can see it, right? Even a taciturn person like Huang Shan can see it. Brother Sheng, you really don't know?"
"I don't know, don't talk nonsense."
"Brother Sheng, we are really not talking nonsense! We all saw it for real, and Hong Mei is indeed a rare and beautiful woman. I have lived for so many years and I have never seen such a beautiful woman. Do you have no idea at all?"
As soon as Shi Lou finished speaking, Gu Sheng's slap fell on the back of his head.
"Now is not the time for family affection. Stone Village's matters are the most important. Put away all your useless thoughts and put them into business."
Knowing that he was deliberately avoiding the topic, Shi Lou sighed helplessly.
"It's so difficult to make the iron tree blossom. Even a beautiful woman like Hong Mei can't handle you."
As soon as Shi Lou finished speaking, Gu Sheng's palm was raised again.
Seeing his actions, Shi Lou shrunk his neck and ran away quickly.
He looked back as he ran, still mumbling about this matter.
Gu Sheng was so dumbfounded by him that he had no choice but to look away and ignore him.
Several people rushed all the way to Stone Village without taking any rest. After three days of running, they finally arrived at Stone Village.
