Chapter 533 Conference
Gu Shiyi frowned tightly.

"If that's the case, then we can't defend against them?"

Han Yungu shook her head and said,

"That's not the case. The barbarians' way of cultivation is different from ours, but it's mostly just about borrowing strength..."

"Borrowing strength?"

Gu Shiyi asked in confusion,
"How to say?"

Han Yungu smiled and said,
“Why are humans called the spirits of heaven and earth? It is because they are favored by heaven and earth and can absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth to improve themselves. Isn’t this borrowing power? What we borrow is the power of heaven and earth. The same is true for the barbarians. We absorb the five elements, and they absorb the power of the witch god. Although Master has never broken into the Witch God Temple, he has traveled to many places in the wilderness and witnessed many things about the witch gods protecting the people under his jurisdiction. Master told me that the witch god is actually a kind of power in heaven and earth, just like the power of the five elements, the power of the true spirit, and the power of Hunyuan. They are all a kind of power that exists between heaven and earth. Only his power is different from our five elements spiritual power. It is not scattered among the mountains, rivers and swamps, but concentrated in the hands of the witch god, and then distributed by him to the witches of different levels below. But in the final analysis, it is still the power of this world, but how he did it, Master does not know!”

Gu Shiyi thought for a moment and asked again,

"If that's the case, then how can we guard against the barbarians' magic?"

Han Yungu smiled and said,
"The Five Elements Spiritual Power is the most orthodox and purest power between heaven and earth. It is naturally much stronger than the barbarian witchcraft power. So the main reason why your magic circle was broken was that it was too simple, which allowed the barbarian boy to take advantage of it. Be more careful next time..."

After a pause, he said again,
“Although the path of the witch god’s power in their bodies is different from the five elements’ power, we can still find some traces. We can find them as long as we observe carefully. And although the flow of their auras is different, we can also master it after getting familiar with it... But as for how to do it specifically, since everyone’s skills are different, I have to figure it out by myself!”

Gu Shiyi frowned and nodded, knowing that this kind of thing can only be figured out when facing the enemy in battle. At the moment, he could only think to himself,

"It seems that I still need to buy a powerful magic array!"

No matter what, we must first protect the cave and not let the barbarians break in without permission!

In the following days, Gu Shiyi stayed at home in his expensive courtyard, practicing meditation, or practicing the ten scales of the Yin man that he had just learned. However, the conference was only two days away, and Han Yungu came to visit.

"Sister, I'm afraid I'll have to bother you for two days!"

Han Yungu saw that Gu Shiyi looked a little haggard, and his eyes were a little swollen. Gu Shiyi frowned and said,
"What happened to sister? Did she fight with someone?"

And was defeated?
Cultivators all pay attention to breathing and nourishing their Qi, and this is especially true for cultivators who have reached the Golden Core Stage. Their appearance is generally described as seldom visibly haggard. It is no wonder that Gu Shiyi was surprised to see Han Yungu like this today!
Han Yungu smiled bitterly and said,

"To be honest, my husband has come to me, and I have made it clear to him. I told him that when I return to the sect, I will report it to Master. We will write a letter of severance and announce it to heaven and earth, severing our relationship..."

"Sister, it's a good thing that you are so decisive..."

Gu Shiyi nodded, but Han Yungu snorted,
"But he didn't want to leave. He just said that I misunderstood and kept pestering me. He and I have been married for many years, and he knows a lot about the layout of my cave. He refused to leave, and I couldn't drive him away. I had no choice but to hide here with my sister. Please take me in for two days!"

Gu Shiyi nodded after hearing this.

"That's the case, sister, just stay here. There are still a few empty rooms in my yard!"

Han Yungu was delighted when she heard this and bowed to her.
"Thanks for the help, sister!"

After Han Yungu moved in, Gu Shiyi did not hide the three spiritual herbs from her. Han Yungu was also surprised when she saw them. She was an expert and could tell at a glance that these three spiritual herbs were of great value.
"Sister, these... these spiritual herbs... are really rare. You are so resourceful to have found three such good spiritual herbs. I really envy you!"

Gu Shiyi smiled and said,

"I collected these three spiritual herbs with great effort in the deep mountains while traveling outside. I am planning to sell them for a good price at the monks' conference!"

Han Yungu nodded.
"Sister, these three spiritual herbs are of good quality. How can they be more than a thousand years old? Moreover, the spiritual energy on them is so rich. This one must cost at least 100,000 spiritual stones..." Gu Shiyi said in surprise.

"Why...are spiritual herbs so expensive now? I thought that having 30,000 or 50,000 spiritual stones would be a great deal!"

Han Yungu shook her head.
"That's because my sister doesn't know the market price. There is a shortage of spirit stones on the continent now, and spirit herbs are even more scarce. This one is a thousand years old and has an extraordinary appearance. Even my sister knows about it. These three plants can be used to refine four or five kinds of elixirs. The price will naturally not be low..."

After thinking for a while he said,
"Don't sell three spiritual herbs at once, in case that generous monk lowers the price!"

The high-level monks have a lot of spirit stones, and they are good at using their power to bully others. When they saw the three spiritual herbs, they were so excited that they bought them all at once and gave a price that was neither too high nor too low. If they sold them, they would feel like losing money, but if they didn't sell them, they were afraid of offending the monk, which would be a disaster!

Gu Shiyi smiled and nodded,
"That's exactly the point. Thanks for the reminder, sister!"

Two days later, the cultivators' conference finally arrived. Gu Shiyi and Han Yungu took the king, the fox, and the three spiritual herbs out together, and joined Guan Changqing and others. Holding the jade identity cards they had exchanged in advance, they rode on the light and flew to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain together.

This time's conference was the largest gathering of cultivators on this continent since the invasion of outsiders. On this day, near the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, the colorful escape lights were like raindrops from the sky, continuously descending from the sky from all directions, and then merged into four streams of people, entering the teleportation formation at the foot of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain from the southeast, northwest, and northeast. Gu Shiyi was amazed at what he saw.

"This is the first time I've seen this. Are there so many cultivators on our continent?"

Han Yungu sighed after hearing this.
"Sister, you have been traveling outside, so you didn't see those battles before and after. Our battles with the invaders were unprecedented and grand in scale. The situation today is only one tenth of it. In the subsequent battles... many people also died. I'm afraid we won't see such a grand occasion for many years!"

Speaking of those tragic battles, everyone looked gloomy and kept silent. The atmosphere became a little heavy. Seeing this, Sun Luan smiled and said hurriedly,

"At this monks' conference, the great monks of the alliance will surely unite the forces of their fellow monks to completely drive those invaders out of the continent and restore peace and prosperity to us!"

Gu Shiyi and the others nodded after hearing this, but Leng Xuan had a cold expression and did not react.

The six of them also lowered their light of escape, blending in with the monks of different heights and shapes wearing various clothes, and entered the magic circle at the foot of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain from the east.

"Om..."

White light flashed in the magic circle, and everyone was teleported to a huge square.

"boom……"

As soon as the white light of the magic circle disappeared, everyone's vision had just regained clarity when a huge wave of sound rushed into their eardrums like a tidal wave. Gu Shiyi was tall, so he could see far when he craned his neck to look. He couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
“There are so many people here!”

She had never seen so many monks in her life. The huge flat square that stretched as far as the eye could see was packed with people. And not only humans, but also many monsters and barbarian sorcerers. Humans and monsters looked different and could be distinguished by their aura. The barbarian sorcerers wore animal skin clothes, and on their necks, waists, wrists and ankles they wore chains of various sizes made of animal teeth and bones. There were faint fluctuations of strange auras on them. Gu Shiyi guessed that these should be the magic weapons of the sorcerers!
Furthermore, all of these witches had tattoos on their bodies. Some had shaved heads, and were covered from head to toe with colorful tattoos of talismans. Some had dark skin, except for their outstretched hands, which were white. However, the palms of their hands were dark blue, and no one knew what kind of pigment was used to tattoo them. However, looking at the patterns on the talismans, they were all similar strange animal characters, and one could tell at a glance that they were from the same school!

Gu Shiyi discovered that these animal-shaped characters, at first glance, seemed disorganized, as if they were randomly carved, but in fact they were connected to each other, stacked on top of each other, in a very orderly manner. There was a faint flow of strange power on them, but the law of the flow of this power was different from the principle of the five elements of mutual generation and mutual restraint, and the principle of endless life. Instead, it repelled and canceled out each other. It should have been extremely unstable, but it inexplicably maintained a delicate balance. Gu Shiyi was very surprised and couldn't understand the weirdness for a while!

Because of what happened before, she was extra cautious towards these barbarian witches. She saw that they had ferocious expressions and hideous faces. Even when facing cultivators, if anyone looked at them for a while longer, they would glare back fiercely, as if they were ready to draw their knives and attack if they disagreed with them.

Many cultivators from the human and demon races showed dissatisfaction with them, and some even glared at them with disgust. However, the conference stipulated that participants were not allowed to fight with each other. Whenever there was an argument or a fight, the law enforcement team that was monitoring the surroundings would immediately appear and take the two troublemakers away.

Moreover, this place is the borrowed territory of the barbarians. After all, humans are guests and the barbarians are the hosts, so they should be polite and courteous to the hosts. Therefore, even if the cultivators are dissatisfied, they do not want to delay their business because of these aggressive and arrogant wizards, so most of them keep a distance and ignore them.

This huge square is a huge market. When people come here, they naturally want to trade with each other. Sun Luan thought of Gu Shiyi selling elixirs in the past, so he smiled and asked her,

"Sister Gu, are you planning to sell the pills again?"
