Chapter 519 Neighbors
So she kept pouring in her demonic power, and the scales kept growing. By the time Gu Shiyi had poured in all her demonic power, and was so tired that sweat appeared on her forehead and she was panting, the scales had actually grown to the size of a tabletop. Gu Shiyi swung it with both hands, and it made a whirring sound. She couldn't help but think to herself,
"This thing looks pretty, but what is it good for? Fanning? I'm not the Iron Fan Princess!"

Thinking of this, he summoned his hatchet.

"cut!"

The hatchet turned into a streak of white light and chopped the giant scale.

"when……"

There was a loud bang, which shook the entire cave and echoed. The giant scale was unscathed, but the hatchet had a gap in it. Gu Shiyi grinned.

"This thing is becoming less and less useful now. It seems we have to hurry up and find a weapon refiner!"

Fortunately, there is a monks' conference, so let's hold it together this time!

Gu Shiyi took back the hatchet and looked at the giant scale carefully again.

"It can resist low-level magic weapons and be used as a shield, but this is passive defense. There is no way to actively attack people?"

Gu Shiyi went to look through the Heavenly Demon Art and the Mysterious Spiritual Nine Heavens Record again, and saw a passage written on the Mysterious Spiritual Nine Heavens Record:
"The primordial energy transforms all things. It can attack or defend, all depends on one's mind..."

Can attack or defend, all depends on one's mind?
Gu Shiyi frowned tightly, and after a while he suddenly stretched out his hand and punched the table-sized scale in front of him.
"boom……"

The scales shattered with a sound, and as the fragments flew all over the sky, they turned into countless spiritual lights and returned to Gu Shiyi's body, filling in the missing piece of the scale!
Gu Shiyi was overjoyed and tore off another piece of scale, wanting to inject more demonic power into it. However, as soon as he thought about it, his eyes went dark, his brain went dizzy, and he fell to the ground.

"Fuck, I forgot that my demon power is all gone!"

Gu Shiyi passed out. When the fox and the king came back and found something was wrong, they rushed into the secret room and woke her up. Gu Shiyi opened her eyes and looked at the sky outside the air window. She said in a daze,

"What's the matter? It's already dark."

The fox replied,

"You've been unconscious in the secret room for a whole day, Gu Shiyi, what were you doing in the secret room? If we hadn't come back and couldn't wake you up, the king would have sneaked in to take a look and you'd still be lying on the ground!"

Hey!

Gu Shiyi turned over and sat up. When he told the story of what he had done, the fox couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"What can I say about you... Gu Shiyi, everyone says that our demon race is reckless and brainless, and you really are number one!"

It's rare to see someone who can even make himself faint during cultivation!
Gu Shiyi chuckled,
"It was just a momentary oversight. I won't do it again next time!"

However, no matter what, Gu Shiyi finally figured out a little bit of the trick. After resting for a few days to recover her strength, she locked herself in the secret room again. This time she became smarter and would never pour all her magic power into it at once. After removing a piece of thin scale from her body, she used her magic power to enlarge it little by little, and then tried to shrink it again. At the beginning, it could not be reduced after it was enlarged. Gu Shiyi could only crush it with one fist to restore it to the power of the true spirit and return to its original form. After trying hundreds of times, she was finally able to make it bigger and smaller, but it took at least a minute. Gu Shiyi shook her head repeatedly.

"How can this be possible? Even if I throw this thing at someone, in one minute, their magic weapon will hit me ten times. With such a slow speed, it's almost like performing a magic trick at the market!"

After that, I practiced countless times, and finally I was able to make the scales grow or shrink in an instant with just a thought.

"That's not enough! I need to be able to pluck a hair and turn it into a little monkey like Monkey King does, so that he can help me fight!"

Gu Shiyi estimated that with his current ability, it would be impossible to turn into another Gu Shiyi, but he could try to turn into a knife or a sword, so he locked himself in the secret room and continued to practice. In a blink of an eye, three months had passed. One day, the king and the fox finally called for help from outside.

"Gu Shiyi, someone is coming from the town!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Shiyi stopped and poked his head out to ask,
"How many people came?"

"There are quite a few of them. They have filled up the entire Fushan Town. Even the local residents have spent a lot of money to buy houses and have all moved away. Now the town is full of cultivators!"

Gu Shiyi nodded and asked again,

"What news have you found out?"

The king raised his hand and cried out:
"I heard it, I heard it. They said that the people from that association will soon send people to the town to register the cultivators and check their identity jade cards. Only those who use the jade cards to exchange for number plates can enter the conference..."

The fox also said,

"They said that there are many magic arrays in the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts. You can't walk around randomly after entering. If you accidentally trigger a magic array and get trapped inside, you can only consider yourself unlucky!"

"Did anyone mention Tianyi Sect?"

The fox and the king shook their heads together.
“I haven’t heard of it!”

Gu Shiyi thought for a moment and said, "I am at a critical juncture in my training. You guys continue to ask around. When the people from the Alliance come in a few days, come and call me!"

"it is good!"

The two of them answered in unison. Gu Shiyi retracted his head again, closed the door, walked back to the stone table, picked up something on the table, looked around,
"This thing is quite useful for sneaking up on people!"

After saying this, he thought about it, and the willow leaf-shaped, translucent, red-glowing thing in his hand suddenly disappeared.

"boom……"

The stone table in front of him suddenly split into two, one on the left and one on the right, and fell to the ground with a loud bang. Seeing this, Gu Shiyi raised his eyebrows.
"I don't know, what level can it kill a cultivator with it?"

The higher the realm of the cultivator, the more powerful the protective divine light on his body. The protective divine light of a high-level cultivator not only automatically defends when attacked, but also will be triggered when they sense a hostile aura or the murderous intent of an enemy within a certain distance. It is most likely impossible to ambush a high-level cultivator, but Gu Shiyi estimated that based on his realm, he should have no problem ambush a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul!
With her current demonic power, she can transform into ten fine scales at most. Gu Shiyi is not very satisfied, but she can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. She can only work hard to improve herself and try her best to transform all the scales on her body. When she encounters an enemy in the future, she can shoot out all the scales on her body like a chicken with its feathers blown off, and turn herself into a human-shaped rain of pear blossom needles!
Gu Shiyi pondered in the secret room for another ten days. The king and the fox came back to call for help.
"Gu Shiyi, now not only the town but also our neighborhood is full of people living here, can you come out?"

Gu Shiyi came out this time.
"Who lives near us?"

The king said,
"Ten days ago, one came to the mountain to our east, and another came to the stream to our west. Yesterday... there was another one in the dense forest outside the valley... The three of them have visited each other. Do you want to go and socialize with them?"

Gu Shiyi thought for a while and nodded.

"Socializing is what I'm best at. Let's go now!"

After changing clothes, he went to visit his neighbors. There were three neighbors. One of them was a cold Yuanying stage cultivator. After a few polite words to Gu Shiyi, he said that he was going to practice in seclusion. Another one was out and had not returned. The one left in the dense forest was a middle-aged female cultivator. Judging from the spiritual energy flowing in her body, she was at the early stage of Jindan, which was similar to what Gu Shiyi pretended. She was very happy to see that Gu Shiyi was also a female cultivator. She said happily,
"It's great to have a fellow Taoist here. I was thinking it would be boring to be alone!"

At the moment, he even introduced himself.

"I am Han Yungu from the Jade Immortal Sect. What's your name?"

Gu Shiyi rarely saw a cultivator who was so talkative and sociable, and he immediately felt like he had met someone of his kind, so he gave his real name.
"I am a wandering immortal, my name is Gu Shiyi..."

"Oh, it's Fellow Daoist Gu..."

Han Yungu asked again,
"We are both at similar levels, but I don't know how old we are. I am 203 years old this year. I wonder how old Fellow Daoist Gu is?"

Gu Shiyi scratched the back of his head and said,
"I'm pretty much the same!"

She had lived so long that she had no idea how old she was, but she thought she should be about the same age as Han Yungu!

Han Yungu laughed when she heard this.
"We are about the same age, but Brother Gu has a way of keeping his youthful appearance. He looks much younger than me. How about I take advantage of you and call you sister?"

Gu Shiyi laughed and said,

"Whatever! You can call me anything!"

"Eleventh sister!"

"Sister Yungu!"

The two of them exchanged greetings again, and after they stood up, they became much more friendly. Han Yungu asked,

"Eleventh sister, but you came here early?"

Gu Shi nodded and said,
"I was traveling around the world and had nothing to do. I heard that there was a cultivator conference in Wanshou Mountain, so I came to take a look..."

Han Yun said,

"As for me, I was ordered by my master to attend this monks' meeting. I have only been here for a short time, but I have visited two other fellow monks nearby. That one..."

She pointed to the eastern mountain with her slender hand and said,
"That fellow Daoist Leng has a rather cold and arrogant personality, but his sect has some connections with my sect, and because of some interactions, he may look cold, but he actually has a very good heart. Let's go visit him together in a few days..."

Then he pointed to the west.
"That guy... came a few days later than me. I went to the town several times to inquire about the news, and I saw him chatting with many fellow Taoists. He must be a sociable person!"

At first glance, these two paragraphs seem to be very friendly to these two temporary neighbors, but if you listen carefully, you will know the difference. They are telling Gu Shiyi that she knows the one in the east, who is cold but a good person, and she doesn't understand the one in the west, but she has a bad impression of him!
Gu Shiyi laughed and said,

"Thank you for your reminder, sister. When I have time, I will definitely go with you to visit Fellow Daoist Leng again!"

The two exchanged some information about the monks' meeting, and then Gu Shiyi went back. The next morning, Han Yungu's talisman paper goose had already arrived at the cave entrance.

"Eleven, Gu Eleven, someone has sent a letter!"
