Chapter 655 Guan Xiaoxiao

One could advance one level just by gathering information. The more Gu Shiyi listened, the more he felt that this mission was extremely dangerous!
Gu Shiyi frowned and said nothing. Elder Lu was straightforward and said to Gu Shiyi,
"According to the rules of the sect, for such a big task, each elder should send at least one disciple above the Nascent Soul stage to participate. However... you also know that I only have one disciple, and he is still in seclusion to comprehend and break through the realm. Naturally, he cannot go. So I thought of you..."

Having said this, he raised his hand and flicked his sleeves, and three jade boxes were placed in front of Gu Shiyi.
"I will never let you take this risk in vain. The things in these three jade boxes will be considered as my reward to you!"

Gu Shiyi thought,

"I have worked so hard here for so long just to get close to the people of Zhengyuan Sect. I have never dared to move because I was afraid of alerting them and arousing suspicion. Now that I have the opportunity to get close to the people of Zhengyuan Sect, I will definitely do it at all costs. What's more, there are these three jade boxes?"

Gu Shiyi thought to himself, but a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.
"Senior, such a dangerous mission, I really..."

Elder Lu nodded and said,

"I also know that it is very dangerous..."

After saying this, he pointed to a jade box in the middle and said,

"Take a look at what's inside, and then make a decision. This is a piece of armor that I made myself using the skin of a strange unicorn. With it, even if a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage wants to hurt you, it can help you block three attacks!"

The strange Qilin is actually a monster with Qilin blood. The armor made from this monster should have strong defensive power!

Gu Shiyi followed his instructions and opened the jade box. He saw a silver soft armor inside. It looked small, but when held in the hand, it only needed spiritual power to activate it. It would automatically become very close to the owner's body size. Elder Lu pointed to another one and said,

"Open this box and have a look..."

Gu Shiyi opened it and saw three talismans inside.
"These three talismans were obtained by me in a secret realm a long time ago. They are talismans of light that can travel a thousand miles. As long as you have not entered the secret realm, you can use them to travel a thousand miles away in an instant..."

Gu Shiyi's eyes lit up when she saw it. She also got a magical tool for long-distance escape in the cave of True Lord Jiuzhuan. It was a copper coin that could be used repeatedly, but it could only allow her to escape five hundred miles away. If she met a high-level cultivator, whose thoughts could travel a thousand miles, she would not be able to escape!
nice one!
Gu Shiyi's eyes lit up. Elder Lu smiled and pointed to another jade box.
"Look at this one..."

Gu Shiyi opened it and saw a bead in the box.
"This is the Wind-Fixing Bead. If you carry it with you, you won't be afraid of being covered by the yellow sand even if there is a huge storm in the desert or you go deep underground!"

Gu Shiyi nodded. All three things were good. Although Elder Lu was a bit strong-willed, he was honest and upright. He was willing to pay people for doing things for him!
Gu Shiyi accepted the three things and bowed to Elder Lu.
"If that's the case, then I will accept this mission!"

Elder Lu stroked his beard with satisfaction and nodded.

"Okay, my yard is big and there are not many people here, so you can choose a room here to rest. We can set off again after we gather all the people!"

Gu Shiyi nodded, and after leaving, he found a secluded room. He went in and saw that it was very clean inside. It was much better than his thatched house at the foot of the mountain. He thought to himself,

"If it weren't for the Zhengyuan Sect, it would actually be pretty good to follow Elder Lu!"

Gu Shiyi rested in this courtyard for three days. On the fourth morning, someone came to report to Elder Lu.
"Elder Lu, Elder Mao sent someone to tell us that all the people have been gathered. Please ask your people to meet up at the east side of Sunset Peak!"

Elder Lu nodded and ordered his servants to call Gu Shiyi over. When Gu Shiyi heard the call, he knew that the time had come and hurried over to see Elder Lu. Elder Lu said,

"Take my badge with you and don't say anything when you meet Elder Mao. Just follow my instructions!"

"Yes!"

Gu Shiyi bowed to Elder Lu and then left. When she left, a middle-aged man appeared beside Elder Lu.

"Master, is Heavenly Corpse Ridge really that dangerous this time?"

Elder Lu sneered and said,

"If it wasn't dangerous, how could the master give up even the strange unicorn soft armor? The wind-fixing beads are nothing, but the three long-distance escape talismans were really obtained from a secret realm. This girl is very smart. If she is not willing to spend a lot of money, how can she be willing to die for us!"

The middle-aged man frowned and said,

"Master said to die. Could it be that someone had some ulterior motives in this mission?"

Elder Lu shook his head slowly and said,

"No, if it was in the past, it would be hard to say, but this time when the elders discussed together, they really worked together to take out the magic weapon and break the flying corpse formation of the invaders..." He paused here and said,

"But...under the 8,000-mile sand sea of ​​Wanshazhou, the drought demon is not dead..."

When he said this, the middle-aged man was shocked.
"If he's not dead, then...if we take out the magic weapon, won't we release the drought demon?"

Elder Lu looked at his disciple meaningfully.
"So... we can't release Hanba, but we have to get the magic weapon... Alas... That's why I gave her three long-distance escape talismans, hoping that she can escape and ascend to heaven!"

The middle-aged man was stunned, his eyes changed, and he stared at his master for a long time without saying a word!

Gu Shiyi had already gone to the east side of Sunset Peak. When she got there, she saw quite a few monks gathered in small groups of two or three, talking in low voices. When Gu Shiyi arrived, a monk she knew waved at her.
"Friend Gu, here!"

Gu Shiyi went over to take a look and saw three cultivators. One was named Wang Wanli, a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, one was named Zhao Dexian, a cultivator in the late Golden Core stage, and one was named Lin Pu, a cultivator in the middle Nascent Soul stage. They were all acquaintances. Gu Shiyi went over to greet them one by one.

"Are you three going to Wanshazhou as well?"

The three of them nodded, and Wang Wanli, who waved at her, said,
"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Gu would also go this time. Isn't Fellow Daoist Gu a casual cultivator?"

This time, each sect in the alliance will send one or two disciples to go. Since Gu Shiyi has no sect or school, no one will assign her a place, so she naturally does not need to go. Gu Shiyi said,
"I was entrusted by Elder Lu!"

It turns out that this is Elder Lu, the only disciple in the lineage. If his own disciple doesn't go, he can ask others to do it instead!
Although disciples must be in the Nascent Soul stage, cultivators with very powerful abilities in the Golden Core stage are also acceptable. For example, Gu Shiyi and Zhao Dexian are the ones who can kill enemies across levels!
Everyone understood immediately and nodded. Gu Shiyi looked around and asked the three people,

"Has Elder Mao not arrived yet?"

"not yet……"

"My three Taoist friends know the details of this trip to Wanshazhou. Please share them with us!"

The three of them looked at each other, then looked around and said,
"Friend Gu, we can't talk too much here. After we set off, we will find a chance to talk in detail!"

Gu Shiyi saw the expressions of the three people and knew that there was something going on. He nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, we'll talk again when we find a chance!"

The four of them did not mention it anymore, but just talked about their experiences working outside, what they saw and heard in various places, and the current situation on both sides. After standing there for a quarter of an hour, they saw a huge beam of light flying in the distance. Everyone looked up and saw that it was the people from the Zhengyuan Sect led by Elder Mao, flying in the air together. When they reached a small hill in front and landed steadily, Elder Mao, who was as thin as a monkey, stepped forward and nodded to everyone. Everyone saluted.

"Elder Mao!"

Elder Mao nodded, glanced around, and seeing that everyone was present, he responded,
"Okay, it looks like we've got everyone here. Take out the badges you've been given..."

Everyone took out their badges as instructed, but Gu Shiyi took out the one given by Elder Lu, on which was written the word "Eighteen". Elder Mao also took out a badge from above and pointed his finger at that badge. The badges in everyone's hands began to glow, and then a row of small and thin words appeared on the palm-sized badge.
"We are heading to Tianshi Ridge in Wansha Prefecture. We are a group of fifty-five people, numbered eighteen!"

Gu Shiyi's number is 18, and everyone else naturally has a number. Elder Mao said,

"This badge can be used for identification and also for communication. Keep it safe for each of you and don't lose it!"

Everyone agreed, and Elder Mao looked up at the sky.
"It's getting late, let's go!"

With so many people, they naturally used magical instruments to travel. Elder Mao released a large ship. After everyone boarded, the ship shook and flew up in the blink of an eye, heading all the way to Wanshazhou.

The journey to Wanshazhou was not short, and the speed of the flying boat was still slow, so it would take some time to fly. So Elder Mao assigned cabins to everyone, three people to a cabin.
There were not many female cultivators on this boat, just three. One of them was Wan Zhenzhen, whom Gu Shiyi had dealt with before. There was another round-faced female cultivator who was surprised when she saw Gu Shiyi. Gu Shiyi also felt that she looked familiar, but she was more cunning than the other person, and she didn't show it on her face. She immediately bowed and smiled at the other person,
"This Taoist friend looks unfamiliar. I wonder which fairy mountain he is from?"

The round-faced nun returned her greeting and said with a smile,
"My name is Guan Xiaoxiao, and I am a disciple of the Zhengyuan Sect!"

"Oh... So you are a disciple of the Zhengyuan Sect. I am so sorry for your disrespect!"

Gu Shiyi smiled and said,

"I am Gu Shiyi, a casual cultivator. I need to get closer to fellow Taoists in the future!"

Guan Xiaoxiao! Guan Xiaoxiao!
Gu Shiyi smiled happily, but his mind was constantly turning.

"This person...this name, why...why do I feel so familiar with him, as if I have seen him somewhere before, or heard this name before?"
