ah?The palace fighting system can also cultivate immortality

Chapter 188 Contract Me
"Does it matter whether it's a boy or a girl?"

Du Xinghe asked.

Mortals do value a man's strength more, but in the world of immortals, what is cultivated is the heart, and the way one walks in the world. If a mortal girl is found to have a gifted spiritual root, she will be sent to various major sects to seek the truth. They only look at the spiritual root, not the gender... The biggest discrimination is age. If you are too old, you will be regarded as hopeless by the sect and rejected.

The Wu clan is not a matriarchal clan.

In the Pingyun Continent, there are indeed so-called exercises that are more suitable for women to practice. The Qing'e Heart Sutra of the Hehuan Sect allows the absorbed spiritual power to circulate and accumulate in the uterus. When male practitioners practice the Qing'e technique, the spiritual power will stagnate in the abdomen and be unable to move forward. Over time, it will affect the circulation of qi and blood and cause the loss of normal reproductive function. Of course, normally, the male disciples of the Hehuan Sect will choose to practice their own Yuqing Heart Sutra.

The sect practices dual cultivation and harmonizes the yin and yang, and their cultivation will make great progress.

Du Xinghe sometimes thought that it was a good thing that he chose the Nine Yang Sect when he was desperate as a child. If it was the Hehuan Sect, the situation would probably be very different.

But obviously, the Wu clan is not among them.

The Gu Spirit shook its head and curled up its centipede, as if thinking about how to explain to her.

After a moment, it asked, "What do you think is the most important thing about raising Gu?"

"...With all your heart?"

Du Xinghe can only give a very idealistic answer.

At this answer, Chubby poked her in the spine with his tail.

But it never felt that it was being cared for with care for a single day!

If it encounters a poison that it cannot digest, just stuff a detoxification pill into its mouth!

How would it interact with other poisonous insects? When others asked it what it ate to grow up, it could only laugh dryly and say that it grew up eating detoxification pills. How could it save face?
"hiss."

Du Xinghe raised his hand and patted his lower back to make it quiet down.

Shu Jiuqing never thought that one day he would be able to hear such an internal secret of the Wu Clan's Gu Cultivators.

She pricked up her ears, but heard the Gu Spirit helplessly shaking its head: "Don't try to fool me with words, what does it have to do with the heart? You cultivate other ways to make people superstitious, believe that sincerity can make things happen, but is sincerity useful? Are the dying old men in the mortal village dying because their hearts are not sincere enough? Before they die, they feel that they haven't lived enough, and their desire for immortality is definitely no weaker than any cultivator's desire to seek immortality..."

The Gu Spirit paused: "The most important thing about raising Gu is quantity."

In the Gu breeding farm, only the strongest Gu worm can survive to the end.

But if there are only two or three poisonous insects, what is the point of deciding the "strongest"?
At this time, quantity becomes particularly important.

Du Xinghe glanced sideways: "Using Gu worms as samples for clinical research?"

Less than 500 cases will not be compliant
She thought for a moment and pushed aside the Gu Spirit's head that was too close to her: "Wait, will I get Gu worms after practicing the Gu God Technique? Then I won't practice it anymore."

She could go through fire and water for the sake of cultivation, and was not afraid at all when she was almost cut in half in a life-and-death battle.

But if she keeps giving birth to poisonous insects...

No, this is really scary.

The Gu Spirit looked at her in confusion, "You are a human, you can't give birth to Gu worms, that's my job, what can you give birth to if you take me away? When you completely inherit the Gu God Technique, we will be one. The only downside is that the Gu worms I give birth to will occupy the children's palace in your life, and you may have some difficulties in having children in the future."

"That's no problem."

Seeing that all the problems had been solved, the Gu Spirit's eight little eyes slightly bent, and through spiritual perception, it pointed Du Xinghe a way to the altar in the present world.

"I haven't been out for a long time. The current location of the altar may be different from what I know. Please adapt to the situation."

Du Xinghe nodded.

At the thought of being able to return to the human world, the Gu Spirit wagged its tail happily, causing the blood pool to surge.

Du Xinghe: "By the way, this journey is dangerous, so what benefits can I get?"

Hearing this, the Gu Ling widened his eyes in disbelief: "Isn't rescuing me the greatest benefit?"

"I've talked about your benefits, what about mine?"

Gu Ling was silent for a moment, then turned and glared at Shen Shui: "Tell me the truth, does your master always take two oranges from fruit vendors when he passes by?"

"Uh……"

Shenshui touched the back of his head.

Xinyue said calmly: "If Master wants to eat, why not buy the whole stall?"

"You two are too obedient to the Master. I can't have any discussion with you two."

The Gu Lingqi was stagnant, and finally said unhappily: "The altars in this world are full of poisons. Your life-definition Gu insect can't have a full meal there. The treasures left inside... should also belong to you. Chen Bu Ran won't fight with you for it. You can do as you please."

"besides……"

"What else?"

The Gu Spirit's eight little eyes opened wide and stared at her: "Why don't you just drain the blood from my blood pool and take it away."

"Don't be impatient. Am I such a mean person?" Du Xinghe ignored its quick nod and grabbed Shu Jiuqing from behind him. "Didn't you give Xinyue a butterfly spider when I left last time? That butterfly spider is very useful. This is my new apprentice. Do you have a poisonous insect suitable for her? Bring one here."

The poisonous insects are all the offspring of the poisonous spirits.

Du Xinghe's righteous tone meant that she was asking Gu Ling for a child to work illegally for her apprentice.

Being pushed to the front to face the Gu Spirit, Shu Jiu Qing was at a loss as to what to do. He could only smile awkwardly and raised his hand to greet her: "Hello... Hello..."

She had just become a disciple of her master and had a basic sense of awe for the strongest creature in the Yin-level secret realm.

Not to mention, the look in her eyes from Senior Sister Xinyue behind her seemed about to burn a bloody hole in her back - this butterfly spider was originally a gift from the master, and it was unique to Xinyue, so how come now even the new junior sister wanted to have it?
The Gu Ling's small eyes looked at Shu Jiuqing and said, "Your skills are complicated, and you have five spiritual roots. I thought you would be more picky when accepting disciples."

Not to mention Xinyue, the one-in-a-million spiritual root, Shenshui is also the only descendant of the Golden Elixir Ape God.

Shu Jiuqing was used to being despised, but after Gu Ling said that, she was not so scared, and even laughed: "I have poor aptitude, but fortunately, my master appreciated me and brought me to study."

"I just accepted her because she was very picky."

Du Xinghe said in a cold tone: "A woman with five spiritual roots and no background can cultivate to the stage of Dan formation on her own. You think her skills are complicated, but I think she has a strong understanding and can learn a little bit of everything. She happens to be the same as me, so I can teach her everything. Stop talking nonsense. Is there anyone who can protect her?"

Shu Jiuqing still had a teasing smile on his face, but was stunned by her words.

She tried to curl the corners of her mouth again, but found that she couldn't do it this time.

Shu Jiuqing had heard too many words that disdained her qualifications, and she didn't feel sad at all. This was her fate. In front of fate, people were like ants, unable to change, and could only accept it. She thought she was invulnerable, but after hearing Du Xinghe's words, she felt sour and depressed.

She couldn't hear clearly what the master said next.

The Gu Spirit said: "She is by your side, does she still need the protection of the Gu?"

“There are always times when I can’t take care of it.”

"Fine……"

The Gu Spirit hissed twice, and Du Xinghe guessed that it cursed very dirty using its own words.

Du Xinghe paused, remembering Shu Jiuqing's frightened reaction when he saw the Gu Ling, and turned around to ask, "Are you afraid of insects?"

"Ah? I am a little scared."

Shu Jiuqing nodded: "But it can be overcome."

Du Xinghe hummed, turned around and started to pick on the Gu Ling: "Do you have anything else besides insects? Toads or snakes."

"You look like a toad to me."

The Gu Spirit cursed angrily.

"Don't underestimate her - the magic circle that amplified my Gu Shen Jue's spiritual power to cover the entire Ten States Secret Realm was drawn by her."

After hearing what Du Xinghe said, Gu Ling looked at the female cultivator with five spiritual roots again.

Shujiuqing would rather it not look at her directly.

Eight eyes were looking straight at her, the visual effect was terrifying.

The Gu spirit dived into the blood pool, returned to its own nest, searched for a while, then took an egg in its mouth and resurfaced in the blood pool: "Hmm... Hmm..."

Du Xinghe reminded: "Use your hands to catch it."

Shujiuqing stretched out his hands tremblingly and caught the bluish-white egg.

"Use your own spiritual power to raise it, and what emerges will be your own destiny Gu."

Gu Ling said.

Shujiuqing took a handkerchief and wiped the blood off the egg.

The egg was about the size of an ostrich egg. She held it carefully in her arms, which affected her movements. However, she did not dare to put the egg into the storage ring - the storage ring could not store living things. "When will it hatch?"

"When the fate comes, it will break. You should take good care of it and let it absorb the essence of the heaven, earth, sun and moon. Don't break the shell too early. Breaking the shell too early will affect the spiritual stability of the Gu."

When it comes to the method of raising Gu, Gu spirits are obviously much more patient.

"Is there anything else?"

The eight eyes of the Gu Ling all turned towards Du Xinghe.

After Du Xinghe shook his head, it asked again: "Really don't you need to break off two bricks from here and take them away?"

"If you like, I don't mind..."

Du Xinghe said this and really wanted to pick two pieces off.

She had only bent down a few times when she was driven out of the secret realm by an invisible force and returned to the Bayounan Mountains. The surroundings went from being empty and silent to being filled with the sounds of insects and birds. Next to her were three little disciples who had also been driven out. Shu Jiuqing held the egg in both hands and looked around: "Master, are we out like this?"

"Well, it was afraid that I would really dig out two bricks and take them away."

"what?"

"Well, let's go find Senior Chen." Du Xinghe waved his hand and stepped onto the flying sword.

Chen Bu Ran was easy to find. He was sitting under a big tree in the Wu Clan's territory, playing chess with an old man. Young men and women loved to look for him and ask him for advice on their problems in cultivation. He did not have the domineering aura he had when he was looting and robbing. Instead, he looked like a very talkative brother next door. The sunlight shone through the dense leaves of the forest and fell on his black hair, outlining his gentle and gentle temperament.

When Du Xinghe walked over, it was the old man who was playing chess with him who first noticed her: "Hello, ancestor."

When he heard this cry, Du Xinghe felt as if one year of his life span had been shortened.

"Old Ancestor, you are here," Chen Bu Ran put Qi Zi aside and turned back with a smile: "Do you want to be a guest in my Spider Tower?"

"What is the Spider Tower?"

"Haha, it's the pawnshop opened by Bu Ran outside. I heard that important people often pawn their belongings to him. His business must be quite big. It's just right to entertain our ancestor." said the old man.

Du Xinghe looked at him.

The dark-haired man said modestly, "Small business."

"You are too modest. Why would others pawn their good things to you if they don't have enough capital?" the old man joked with a smile.

Chen Bu Ran smiled and stood up.

The old man exclaimed: "This game is not finished yet, can you let me wait a little longer..."

Chen Bu Ran leaned over and moved the chess piece one space to the right, and the old man immediately fell silent.

He motioned Du Xinghe to follow him.

Du Xinghe raised his eyebrows: "Actually, I can wait for you to finish downloading."

"No need, old man," the old man said dejectedly, "Now that he has taken this step, I have nowhere to go. It turns out that Bu Ran was always giving in to me and playing with me."

"It was just a sudden inspiration."

After Chen Bu Ran finished speaking, he walked with her to a deserted place and asked, "The ancestor has finished talking to the Gu Ling. Do you want to come to my Spider Temple?"

"…Before I go, I need your help with something."

Du Xinghe told him what the Gu Ling had told her, but she couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable: "I also just found out that the Gu Shen Jue can only be inherited by women."

It was as if she had robbed him of his opportunity.

When it comes to opportunities, those who are capable will get them. But since Chen Bu Ran is a member of the Wu clan, he started practicing earlier than her and his realm is higher than hers, so she had a brief moment of conscience and it was impossible for her to give up.

"Don't think too much about it," Chen Bu Ran shook his head: "Will you blame your mother?"

"I'm an orphan."

Chen Bu Ran paused: "For all of us Wu people, the ancestor is like a mother, and the Gu Ling is also the source of all our life-giving Gu insects. We are one family, and no one will blame anyone who inherits. I believe you will make our Wu clan Gu cultivators famous again in Pingyun Continent... This time, it will be in a righteous manner."

Du Xinghe thought that although he was strong, he was doing things that everyone wanted to punish.

She couldn't help but say, "With your strength, being a bandit is a waste of time." What can a strong man in the Spirit Transformation Stage not get if he wants it?

Even if it is a rare treasure from heaven and earth, there are plenty of opportunities to obtain it. Why do you have to use this method to ruin your own reputation and incur hatred from all sides? What's the point?

"Is it because of your Gu?"

That life-defining poisonous insect that can only become stronger by robbing.

Hearing her words, Chen Bu Ran showed a thoughtful look, and after a moment he smiled and said: "This is a misfortune for the Wu family. Being a robber is also my hobby."

Crossing the Galaxy: "..."

"But you like to rob people, which is not a righteous thing to do." He sighed.

Du Xinghe: "I don't rob people."

"I can see the chain on your hand."

At the other end of the chain, two people are tied. No matter how far apart they are, the shadows will only become fainter but will not disappear.

Du Xinghe explained: "This is their own will. It's not that I disregard their wishes and restrict their personal freedom..."

Unexpectedly, after she finished speaking, Chen Bushan's smile deepened: "Well... I am different from you. I am a solitary Gu cultivator. Pingyun Continent discriminates against us. I usually don't go to places where cultivators gather. I didn't know that young cultivators are so wild now."

Voluntarily being kidnapped, our ancestors really played big.

There is no way to defend oneself when crossing the galaxy.

Soon, she thought of another important point: "You can see the shadow of the chain? My apprentice can't see it."

"Only those with higher cultivation than you can see it."

Du Xinghe secretly thought that something was not good, and did not care that Chen Bu Ran was right in front of her. She activated the jade tablet and sent a message to Ji Wuhuo to confirm the matter.

The latter did not respond to her for the time being, so she could only put the jade book back into the storage ring and turned back to look at his smiling eyes. Seeing her looking at him, he said: "Is the one holding your chain Ji Wuhuo? You are more powerful than I thought, worthy of being the ancestor."

"Do you know anyone from the Ji family?"

Chen Bu Ran: "We have some friendship."

Du Xinghe asked, "How much is it exactly?"

Chen Bu Ran paused suspiciously: "...seize their flying boat."

It turned out to be the relationship between the suspect and the victim.

"If you want to find the altar, I will do my best to help you." Seeing that Du Xinghe seemed to have a close relationship with the young master of the Ji family, he changed the subject: "However, I think it would be safer for you to come to the Spider Temple, sign a contract with all my disciples, and strengthen your "Gu Shen Jue" before going."

Du Xinghe pondered and realized that there was no urgent need to rescue the Gu spirit.

She raised her eyes: "Okay, then I'll go."

……

"The old man has only been here for one day, and he's leaving? Why not stay longer?"

When Du Xinghe came to inform the disciples that they were about to set off, Atulin looked at her with reluctance in his eyes.

"Ah."

Before Atulin could say anything to persuade him to stay, Du Xinghe jumped off the tree house, and his three disciples hurriedly followed.

Shujiuqing was curious: "Brother, Master seems to be particularly cold to Atulin."

When she was in Xihe Garden, there would occasionally be cultivators who admired Du Xinghe who would boldly approach her and talk to her, but they had never seen such a cold response from the master.

Shenshui whispered to her, "That's because Atulin is not a girl. Our master is only more tolerant of female practitioners."

"why?"

"I don't know. My master is quite strict. She doesn't like me turning into a girl."

Shenshui rubbed his chin and approached Shujiuqing: "Junior sister, look, isn't my transformed appearance good-looking? During the Immortal Alliance Competition, those male cultivators were so bewildered by me that they couldn't find their way!"

The sudden approach of Furong made her heart skip a beat.

This face is not only beautiful, but more importantly, there is a look in its eyes that cannot be learned. Its gaze is full of charm and has some of the monkey's natural cunning and agility.

This made Shu Jiuqing feel unconfident: "Brother, what am I? Can I be Zhang Fei who can come to Guishui?"

"It's okay. Senior Brother will teach you how to flirt."

As the two of them were mumbling, Du Xinghe turned around and said, "What are you talking about so intently? Come up."

The two of them immediately shut up and obediently got on the miniature flying boat.

Following Chen Bu Ran back to the Zhixing Temple, he could of course no longer fly with his sword. He prepared his own modified micro flying boat. When everyone got on board, the flying boat, along with its shell and breath, disappeared into the dense forest, like a drop of water merging into the sea, never to be found again.

"This hidden spiritual circuit is rarely seen on the market!"

Shujiuqing was amazed and couldn't help but want to take it out for a look.

The black-clothed disciple on the flying boat changed his expression slightly upon hearing this, but under Chen Bu Ran's eyes, he dared not get angry or say anything, so he forced a smile and took her around to visit. Su Jiuqing was puzzled: "Most flying boats on the market don't hide their tracks. It's too much trouble and unnecessary. This time, it's really thanks to Master that I can see it... Why did you put this spiritual text on it? This way, the spiritual stones consumed for each space jump will increase a lot."

The black-clothed disciple smiled wryly: "Because we need to run away."

"Hey?"

The black-clothed disciple continued, "We have to flee after we rob the flying boat, so we have to hide our tracks."

Shu Jiuqing took a step back: "Uh... may I ask who you are..."

“We are the Spider View.”

The black-clothed disciple smiled coldly, and finally regained a little dignity as a bad guy.

The temple master worshipped a sword cultivator named Du Xinghe, and was about to transform their lair into the Spider's House. All the magic weapons hanging on the wall were wiped clean overnight, leaving no trace of blood, so as not to scare the little guests.

Fear him quickly, dread him, tremble, friar!

Shujiuqing really started to tremble all over.

The black-clothed disciple said, "You are the master's guest. We will not treat you badly, but you should also understand that not everyone can come here..."

Before he could finish his words, his shoulders were firmly grasped by Shujiuqing's eagle-like claws.

"You——" he was shocked and angry.

"Give me back my money!" Jiuqing shouted, shaking him like a hand-cranked milk tea. "Give me back my money! I was on the flying boat you robbed five years ago. You took away the ten low-grade spirit stones I saved up with great difficulty. Give me back my money! Give me back my money!"

Her voice was deafening, causing other disciples of the Spider Temple on the flying boat to look at each other sideways.

The disciple who was caught usually spent at least a hundred middle-grade spirit stones on his business, but he was asked to pay ten low-grade spirit stones. It would be embarrassing if the content of the quarrel got out. He couldn't help but feel hot on his face: "Why are you so anxious about ten low-grade spirit stones! Aren't you a Jindan cultivator?"

"I was a foundation-building cultivator at that time, you pay me back!"

"You have formed a pill now!"

"So what if I have formed a pill now!" Shu Jiuqing stared at him vigilantly: "You are not going to default on the ten spirit stones! I want to find my master!"

The law of the jungle is the creed of the world of immortal cultivation.

Five years ago, although she was resentful and regretful about being robbed and was so angry that she couldn't eat for a week, she still accepted it.

But now that there was an opportunity to settle the score, Shu Jiuqing did not hesitate to bring up the past.

The black-clothed disciples were almost shaken dizzy by her.

More importantly, the master does not take the same people out every time he takes action.

He no longer remembered whether he was the one who stole Shujiuqing five years ago.

Of course, he gave me ten low-grade spirit stones just as he said...

However, his hesitation due to being shaken dizzy was taken by Shu Jiuqing as evidence that he was unwilling to pay back the money. She pushed him away, turned around and ran back to her master.

Her master was talking to Chen Bu Ran.

"You say it's a small business, but you have a lot of people around you, and their cultivation is very high." Du Xinghe glanced over.

Chen Bu Ran's smile remained unchanged: "Zhi Xing Temple does not accept weaklings."

"Ah."

With just a slight smile, Shujiuqing returned to her side with tears in her eyes.

"What's wrong? Did anyone bully you?" Du Xinghe asked.

"Master, the disciples of the Spider Temple won't pay back the money," said Shu Jiuqing, almost making Chen Bu Ran's smile disappear. "They stole my ten low-grade spirit stones and refused to admit it. They want to deny my money!"

When the black-clothed disciple arrived, he just heard these words. He turned around and saw the abbot staring at him, and his heart suddenly sank.

It's over, it's over, it's over -

He even refused to pay for the ten low-grade spirit stones. It was really embarrassing for the temple master!

"Master, I am not..."

"Is this true?" Chen Bu Ran retracted his gaze. On his big, bony hand, he wore a spider-shaped ring. He turned his hand and ten high-quality spirit stones with rich spiritual energy appeared in his hand. "Consider this my apology to you on their behalf. Don't be sad."

The top-grade spirit stone shone with brilliant light, illuminating the surroundings.

Shu Jiuqing's eyes also lit up. She chuckled and looked in the direction of her master: "I'm so sorry..."

Du Xinghe: "You take it."

Only after getting her master's permission did she happily accept the compensation.

Just when the black-clothed disciple was breathing a sigh of relief, he heard Master Chen say coldly, "Deduct it from his bonus."

This time it was the black-clothed disciple's turn to tremble.

When he received three people again, he no longer dared to act like a villain, and he treated guests like waiters in a five-star hotel.

Du Xinghe sat down by the window as the flying boat shuttled through the clouds.

"How long does it take to get to the Spider View's base camp from here?"

"Even if we fly faster, it will take seven days."

Chen Bu Ran said: "It's a good opportunity for you to contract me."

"you?"

Du Xinghe looked at him in surprise.

It was obvious that he lacked patience with the disciples of the Spider Temple and did not feel any pain in using them. It was expected that he would contract them to her, but it was beyond Du Xinghe's expectations that he would also contract himself to her.

"Are you surprised?"

The miniature flying boat broke through the thick cumulonimbus clouds, and the sunlight shone down unobstructed, making it impossible for people to open their eyes. He raised his fingertips, and the window of the flying boat was covered with a layer of blurry shadows, filtering out the overly bright sunlight. Only a layer of faint morning light fell on him, making his expression unclear. It was impossible to tell whether he liked or disliked it in his tone: "From the moment the Gu Spirit contracted itself to you, you were tied to the fate of our Wu clan. I contracted myself to you because I had to, not because I am a saint, or because I think you are a saint... This is the fate of Gu cultivators like us."

He closed his eyes, and a red spider lifted his left eyelid, crawled out, and landed on the back of his hand: "This is my natal Gu worm. When the Gu Spirit gave it to me, I had just established my foundation."

The pressure from the natal Gu worm of a Gu cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage alone is enough to make a Jindan cultivator kneel down involuntarily and submit to it.

But even though the galaxy was in front of it, I felt nothing.

Instead, the red spider's eight legs were shaking and it could barely stand.

Du Xinghe also noticed this: "It is afraid of me."

"All Gu insects are afraid of Gu spirits."

Du Xinghe said: "That's really unfair to you."

"I don't think it's unfair. I practiced other techniques... to become a sword cultivator, an elixir cultivator, or a weapon cultivator? I may not have reached the level I am today. I am just a genius in Gu cultivation, and I share the same fate with the Gu cultivation lineage. Since I have accepted to practice the Gu God Technique, I cannot turn against it and say it is unfair to me. The only regret is that I am not a woman and cannot personally revive the Gu cultivation."

Chen Bu Ran held her hand and let the spider crawl onto her palm.

His natal insect submitted to her.

"Now I'm just betting on you."

"Contract me."

Master Chen didn't like Du Xinghe, he just really regarded her as his ancestor...
