Zhuang Tianlai, stripped of his True Disciple position

After the Celestial Person, comes the Void Heaven.

At this moment, Gu Yuanqing had truly become a hot commodity in their eyes. Catching up a single Earth Tier Dao Soul could be attributed to a bit of luck, but catching up with four Earth Tier Dao Soul in the past two years could no longer be considered luck.

In the Exquisite World, one of the most important resources for cultivation is the Dao Soul.

Gu Yuanqing has not yet achieved the Void Heaven, yet he can already catch Earth Tier Dao Soul. When he becomes a Celestial Person in the future, will he also be able to catch Upper Earth Tier and top-grade Earth-rank Dao Soul? Or even Heaven Tier Dao Soul, which are a level higher?

The higher the cultivation level of Cultivator, the greater their need for Dao Soul levels. The more low-level Dao Soul are Refinement, the less effective they become, while High-Tier Dao Soul are hard to come by.

Befriending the Divine Fishing, even just becoming acquainted with him, might give you a better chance in the future, and that chance could be a matter of life and death!

As for Gu Yuanqing, his Dao Soul was relatively easy to obtain, and he could not empathize with the Cultivator in the Exquisite World, so he was unaware of the status of a Divine Fishing in the eyes of the Cultivator in the Exquisite World.

As Gu Yuanqing descended from the High Platform, people kept approaching him on his way. These people all seemed to be acquainted with Yi Yunbo, and Gu Yuanqing couldn't ignore them. After all, he was recommended by Yi Yunbo to become Guest Elder of the Illusionary Spirit Sect.

After exchanging pleasantries, Gu Yuanqing suddenly spotted a familiar figure.

A burly man with a thick beard stood in the distance; he was Zheng Kun, who had come to the Boundless River with Gu Yuanqing.

When he saw Gu Yuanqing, his eyes widened in disbelief. As he got closer, he hesitated, wondering whether to greet her, since their statuses were now completely different.

Just then, they suddenly heard Gu Yuanqing's voice.

Brother Zheng!

Yi Yunbo and the others looked in that direction. This was the first time Gu Yuanqing had taken the initiative to greet someone, and they were curious to see who had the face to do so.

Zheng Kun smiled upon hearing the voice, strode over, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Brother Gu, it's been a long time! I never expected to meet you under these circumstances!"

There was a hint of complexity in his words. He naturally knew about the new Divine Fishing that had appeared on the Boundless River, and even felt, through some rumors, that it resembled someone he knew, Fellow Daoist Friend.

But how could this newcomer, whom he had once brought into the Boundless River and personally taught fishing techniques, suddenly become Divine Fishing? Even after seeing Gu Yuanqing, he still found it somewhat unbelievable.

"Yes, it's been a long time, Brother Zheng. What brings you here?" Gu Yuanqing asked.

A hint of unease flashed in Zheng Kun's eyes, but he quickly concealed it and smiled, "I heard there's a new Divine Fishing here, and I was coming out of the Ancient Fishing Platform today, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect it to actually be Brother Gu."

"Brother Gu, who is this?" Yi Yunbo asked.

Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Let me introduce you. This is Brother Zheng Kun, who came to the Boundless River with me. I learned many things about fishing for Dao Soul from him."

"Oh?" Yi Yunbo showed a hint of surprise. Could this Zheng Kun also be a hidden master?

"Brother Gu, please don't mention that again. It'll make us a laughingstock. I'm just a Rogue Cultivator who hasn't even caught a few Profound Tier Dao Soul. How could I be qualified to teach you?" Zheng Kun gave a wry smile, then cupped his hands and said, "My name is Zheng Kun. I greet Brother Yi."

"A pleasure to meet you, Brother Zheng." Yi Yunbo returned the greeting, then smiled and said, "It seems Brother Zheng already knows who I am, so there's no need for introductions."

Zheng Kun laughed and said, "Of course I know. Here by the Boundless River, you can be a stranger to anyone, but you always have to know the True Disciple of the Illusionary Spirit Sect."

Yi Yunbo laughed and said, "I just don't know if Brother Zheng's words are good or bad?"

"That's certainly good. Although the disciples of the Illusionary Spirit Sect are unruly in their actions, they are also trustworthy and truly people of character. Unlike the Sanyang Sect, who seem righteous but are actually despicable and contemptible." A fierce glint flashed in Zheng Kun's eyes.

"I quite agree with that," Gu Yuanqing nodded in response.

Yi Yunbo asked in surprise, "Brother Zheng also has a grudge against the Sanyang Sect?"

Zheng Kun composed himself and waved his hand, saying, "Brother Yi, please forgive my rudeness. It's just some past events; let's not talk about it today."

Yi Yunbo nodded slightly and laughed loudly, "Today, you two are old friends reunited. I'll treat you to a feast."

The three went to a restaurant, where Yi Yunbo ordered Spirit Materials and Spirit Cuisine, and drank Spirit Wine.

These items are all very valuable, and would even benefit someone at the Void Heaven Realm.

Halfway there, a disciple of the Illusionary Spirit Sect suddenly entered, enveloped Yi Yunbo's ear with his domain, and whispered a few words.

Yi Yunbo nodded slightly, and the Illusionary Spirit Sect disciple bowed to the crowd before quickly leaving.

Then, Yi Yunbo used telepathy to say to Gu Yuanqing, "Brother Gu, if I'm not mistaken, this Brother Zheng was being chased by Zhuang Tianlai and had no choice but to hide in our sect's territory. After all, the people from the Sanyang Sect wouldn't dare to be so arrogant here."

"Is it Zhuang Tianlai again?" Gu Yuanqing also asked using telepathy.

Yi Yunbo chuckled and transmitted his voice, "This matter might be related to Brother Gu."

Gu Yuanqing frowned as she looked at Yi Yunbo.

"I heard that Zhuang Tianlai was seriously injured by you, Daoist Friend. Just then, he encountered the competition for the position of True Disciple within the sect, and his strength was greatly reduced. Although he used other methods to seize the True Disciple, there were many people in the Sect who were dissatisfied. Later, he fell out with Brother Gu. When the news reached the Sect, it was used by the Sect's rivals to attack him."

A few months ago, Brother Gu caught several Earth Tier Dao Soul in succession, which finally caused Zhuang Tianlai the True Disciple to be questioned and taken away by someone else.

This Human Heart, and it seems his resentment has fallen on Brother Gu. However, Brother Gu's cultivation is profound, and he is no match for him. You are also the Divine Fishing and Guest Elder of my Illusionary Spirit Sect. Even if he had the guts, he probably wouldn't dare to cause you trouble. So he turned his anger on Brother Zheng. It is said that he once complained in public that if Brother Gu and Brother Zheng hadn't been so close, he would never have caused you trouble back then...

Gu Yuanqing was speechless after hearing this series of words. He never expected that after two years of fishing peacefully on the Boundless River, someone would lose their True Disciple because of him, and Zheng Kun would be implicated by him.

Over there, Zheng Kun, already bleary-eyed from drunkenness, sensed something strange in Gu Yuanqing Yi Yunbo's eyes. He raised his glass and said, "Brother Gu, Brother Yi, what are you two whispering about? Come, come, let's drink!"

On the second day, Upper Garden Residence.

"Brother Yi, I have a few favors to ask of you!"

"What is it, Brother Gu? Please speak."

"I may be leaving the Ancient Realm for some time. I'd like to trouble you to keep some things safe, and also to help sell these Dao Soul for Ancient Coin, or Restoration Pill, Pill Formula, treasures, or Cultivation Method to Divine Soul Tempering. Regardless of the transaction, ten percent of the total price will be my reward to you, Daoist Friend."

"I can help Daoist Friend exchange these things, Daoist Friend. Please don't discuss any rewards! Besides, what you're talking about, my Illusionary Spirit Sect has them. As Guest Elder of the Sect, Brother Gu, you can also trade them yourself."

Gu Yuanqing shook his head and smiled, "I haven't finished speaking! This kind of thing might not be the only time! I might have to trouble Daoist Friend to deal with many of the Dao Soul I've caught. After all, I'm just a Rogue Cultivator, and I'm not very familiar with the things in the Ancient Realm. I only really know a handful of people. As Daoist Friend True Disciple of the Illusionary Spirit Sect, you have a wide network of connections, which is much more convenient for you than for me!"
