Immortal Formula

  Chapter 15 Get the Spiritual Tool

Gu Tingchen spoke for about two hours, and said: "The road of cultivation is long and promising. All disciples must remember the words of perseverance and forbearance. They must be diligent and not impatient, and they will succeed in the end. This is the end of today's class, and I will come again next month. Listen." After speaking, he stood up.

   A dozen people present stood up, bowed respectfully and saluted, "Respectfully send Patriarch."

  Gu Tingchen nodded and said, "Gu Yan, you come with me." He waved to her.

  Gu Yan was originally saluting with the crowd, and when she saw Gu Tingchen beckoning to her, she saw that Gu Tingchen had stepped off the high platform, and there was a small door at the corner of the stairs, so she quickly followed. But he didn't notice the strange eyes of the people behind him.

  After the small door, through a curved corridor, it turned out to be a large quiet room. There are wooden couch and straw mat on it. Gu Tingchen asked Gu Yan to sit on the mat in front of him, and then said, "You have been cultivating alone. If you have any difficulties in your cultivation, you may as well ask me for advice."

  Gu Yan explained the questions about his practice one by one, and Gu Tingchen also answered them one by one, very detailed. Gu Yan benefited a lot. Afterwards, Gu Tingchen stretched out his hand, took out a leather bag from his waist and handed it over, and said, "All my Gu family's children, when they are successful in their cultivation, will be bestowed with treasures by their elders. Your parents are no longer there. The things I used back then, I will give them to you."

  Gu Yan reached out and took it, and found that it was a small magic treasure bag, with a space of about zhang and fangyuan in it. There is another thing, a cone-shaped object carved from bluestone, with a faint blue light on it. Knowing that it is a spiritual tool, I am overjoyed. This is the first time she has her own spiritual weapon. In addition to being pleasantly surprised, he quickly stood up and thanked Gu Tingchen.

Gu Tingchen waved his hand, "This thing is called Qingyun Cone. It is a spiritual tool that I used when I was in the Qi refining period. Your father also liked this thing. I was afraid that he was young and arrogant, so I didn't give it to him. You Although he is still young, his temperament is much calmer than that of your father. Remember not to show this thing lightly, and you should not fight with others easily. Go ahead."

   Gu Tingchen's eyes were indeed filled with love, and in his words there seemed to be some nostalgia and sadness for her father. This was the first time that Gu Yan felt caring from an elder after she separated from her mother. Gu Yan's eyes were a little wet, and she almost wanted to tell all her experiences before coming to Yunyang.

   But in the end she held back, she respectfully kowtowed three times to Gu Tingchen, and then got up and went out.

   At this time, the people outside had basically disappeared, and only Gu Mingze was still sorting out some things. Seeing how busy he was, Gu Yan couldn't help laughing. She said, "Is brother still taking care of cleaning up?" She knew that Gu Mingze had a gentle temper, and besides, the two of them were considered small acquaintances, so she spoke casually.

   Gu Mingze laughed when he heard it: "Why be so restrained, I'm number six, call me brother number six."

   "Oh?" Gu Yan looked at his behavior and thought he was the leader, but he didn't expect it to be sixth. Gu Mingze said with a smile: "Although the brothers above me have spiritual roots and can be included in the preface, their aptitude is too weak, and they can only be children of the world, so they cannot come to listen to the sermon. There is also a fourth brother, who is the most qualified. Well, in order to prepare for the Tianmu Mountain Trial Conference in a few years, he went overseas. I don't know when he will be back."

  Gu Yan once heard Ziyin talk about the trial meeting of the three major sects in Tianmu Mountain. It seems that not only the loose cultivators are flocking to it, but even the leaders of the immortal cultivators also yearn for it. At this time, Gu Mingze said, "The Sixth Patriarch loves our younger generations the most. The Seventeenth Sister must have benefited a lot from his teachings."

   Gu Yan said with a smile: "The Sixth Patriarch gave me a spiritual tool, the little sister is very grateful, and I'm afraid that I will fail the Sixth Patriarch's expectations." Then she took out the magic bag for him to watch.

Gu Mingze was a little surprised when he saw it: "It's actually a blue cloud cone!" Gu Yan knew from his expression that this spiritual tool had some origin, and sure enough, Gu Mingze said: "This blue cloud cone is from the clan of the Sixth Patriarch when he was in the Qi refining period. It was given to him by one of his ancestors for self-defense. The Sixth Patriarch also used this spirit tool to defeat many opponents in the trial meeting, but unfortunately he was unable to persevere to the end. Although he has successfully established a foundation now, This spiritual tool is no longer needed, but I still cherish it, the ninth brother and the sixteenth sister asked him several times, but he was reluctant to give it, but I didn't expect it to be given to you today."

After speaking, he sighed and said in a low voice: "The Sixth Patriarch was trapped in the early stage of foundation building, and he has not made progress in the past few decades. I am afraid that Shouyuan will be in the next few decades. We all say that this spiritual He's going to take it to the ground."

  Gu Yan touched the magic treasure bag, looking a little disappointed. She seemed to feel the loving heart of an old man. He also instinctively felt that it was inappropriate for him to accept such a precious thing, but it was hypocritical to return it now. She put the magic treasure bag away carefully and said, "My little sister is new here, and she still doesn't understand many things. Sixth brother has time, why don't you go back together, or just ask for advice, how?"

   The two walked back together, and Gu Yan also consulted a lot of things in the family. From Gu Mingze's description, she probably understood the current situation of the Gu family.

  The Gu family is a relatively large cultivator family in today's Tianmu Mountain. There are more than 100 children in the clan during the Qi refining period. Gu Yan was speechless when she heard this number. Gu Mingze said with a smile: "This is nothing, it's not uncommon to talk about those sects, that is, those big clans outside, and it is not uncommon for them to have hundreds of qi-refining disciples. The Zhushan sect, the smallest in Tianmu Mountain, has nearly 800 qi-refining disciples. We just have too few foundation-building cultivators, only four, so we always have to be a little less confident when dealing with people on weekdays.”

  Gu Yan remembered that the day when he first arrived, the whole clan gathered and only saw three monks who established the foundation, so he asked Gu Mingze. Gu Mingze said: "There is a genius uncle in our clan. He only spent fifty years to cultivate to the middle stage of foundation building. He is the most talented person in the clan for thousands of years. However, he traveled abroad a few days ago. Now, it is said to be looking for an opportunity to break through the realm. I don't know when I will be able to come back. Not only is that uncle deeply cultivated, but he also has a good sword and is very powerful when he fights with others."

  Gu Yan was very surprised, even a disciple of a famous sect, it is not so easy to build a foundation. At this rate, isn't he very hopeful to become the only alchemist in the family for thousands of years? She asked with great interest, "What's the name of this uncle?"

  Gu Mingze replied: "His name is Gu Xizhao!" Gu Yan recited the name twice, at this time Gu Mingze also finished cleaning up the hall, and the two walked outside together.
