I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 413: Refining treasures and studying scriptures, Liusha Sect’s grand banquet! (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone!)

Looking at the golden seal in Gu Yuan's hand, Fairy Mengyun protected Fairy Yuxuan behind her without leaving a trace, her beautiful eyes staring at Gu Yuan.

The magical power in his body was surging, and he seemed to be ready to destroy everything.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan was startled for a moment, then reacted, waved his sleeves, put the golden seal into his dantian, then bowed and said with a smile:

"You two fairies have misunderstood. I am not a bad person. This seal is just a proof that I have completely killed that evil cultivator. I have no ill intentions. Please forgive me."

Holding the Yin-Yang Seal, Gu Yuan forcefully entered the formation, knowing that his action was misunderstood.

As expected, seeing Gu Yuan put away the golden seal and bow, the two girls' faces relaxed a little, but Fairy Mengyun still frowned and looked at Gu Yuan in doubt:

"Daoyou's methods are extraordinary. You were able to kill this evil cultivator. Mengyun is naturally grateful."

"But... what is your intention behind this action, fellow Daoist? I am afraid that the foundation of our Liusha Sect cannot be passed on to others."

If it were in the past, seeing a Taoist cultivator with such powerful means, Fairy Mengyun would have treated him with courtesy, invited him to join the sect, and taste tea and learn Taoism.

But during these two hundred years, she had already deeply witnessed the wickedness of human nature, and she became much more vigilant and rejected everyone.

What's more, Xiliuhai is a secluded place, and Gu Yuan's sudden appearance made her doubt his identity.

"Fairy, don't panic. If I had any bad intentions, you two wouldn't be able to stop me in your current state and this dilapidated formation."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan just chuckled.

The two women looked at each other, then sighed and looked bitter.

Yes!

If this person had malicious intentions, the Liusha Sect would have been overthrown long ago. Why would it come to this?
"I am a person under the rule of the Heavenly Palace and come from a great Xuanmen sect. How could I covet other people's ancestral heritage?"

"The reason I bothered you two fairies is that I just want to borrow the quicksand worm to cross the sea and go to Xiaobei Territory."

Gu Yuan put one hand behind his back and stated his purpose with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist, do you want to borrow the quicksandworm to cross the sea?"

As soon as Gu Yuan said this, Fairy Mengyun inexplicably believed it most of the time.

If the person in front of me wanted to establish a foundation, he would have taken action long ago. Why wait? This goal is probably almost certain.

When she thought of this, she shifted her gaze slightly and looked at Gu Yuan.

Just one glance and she was stunned.

Before, because she had always been alert and tense, she had never paid attention to Gu Yuan's appearance. But now she found that the man in front of her had a figure as tall as pine and cypress, a face as handsome as a god, and a temperament as otherworldly as a banished immortal.

What a handsome Taoist!
Her face suddenly turned red, her eyes were tearful, and her body went limp.

Lustful insect!
Fairy Mengyun was suddenly startled.

The person in front of him could actually arouse his inner desires even more than Ji Tonghe? He could actually awaken his lustful bug with just one glance?

"laugh!"

She bit her tongue hard to regain some clarity of consciousness, then suddenly turned her head away, not daring to look at Gu Yuan again.

But the restlessness in my heart lingered for a long time.

"Fellow Daoist, you have helped my Liusha Sect to kill the evil cultivator. This is a great favor. If you want to borrow the Liusha worm to cross the sea, I will certainly agree to it!"

"However, in order to prevent the sea-crossing quicksand worm from being captured by the evil cultivator, I have used the sect's secret method to put it into a deep sleep. It cannot be awakened for a while. I would like to ask you to stay in my Quicksand Sect's branch for seven days. After I wake it up, I will send you out to sea. How about that?"

Fairy Mengyun didn't dare to look directly at Gu Yuan, so she could only lower her head and speak softly.

In fact, it only takes three days to awaken the quicksand worm, but for some reason she blurted out seven days.

"In that case, thank you for your help, fairy!"

Gu Yuan didn’t know when to wake him up, so he just nodded slightly, saying it was okay.

After all, he could afford to wait for seven days.

As for the strengths and weaknesses of the Liusha Sect, he had already found out, and thought that the two of them would not dare to do anything weird.

"Junior sister, please take fellow Taoists to the [Sand King Palace] to rest. I will go and deal with the aftermath."

Fairy Mengyun gave instructions to Fairy Yuxuan behind her.

Fairy Yuxuan nodded in response, then her eyes revealed a cold look, and she said, "Senior Sister, that evil disciple..."

"Don't worry, with me here, no one from Feiyu Sect can escape. I will capture that evil disciple and hand him over to you for punishment!"

Fairy Mengyun knew what her junior sister wanted to say and immediately comforted her.

"I will enforce the canonical punishment on the entire sect and burn his soul for two hundred years to serve as a warning to others and to comfort our ancestor!"

Fairy Yuxuan gritted her teeth.

"It's up to you. I'll take you to the Sand King Palace first."

Fairy Mengyun nodded and then gave further instructions.

"Senior please!"

Fairy Yuxuan put away her inner thoughts, bowed respectfully to Gu Yuan, and then made a gesture of invitation.

"Above that sea area, there are my demon pets and several juniors. They can also help in hunting down the Feiyu Sect!"

Gu Yuan chuckled at Fairy Mengyun, then took a step forward and followed Fairy Yuxuan to fly towards a secluded and luxurious palace.

……

……

Two days passed in a flash.

In the Liusha Sect, the original noisy and anxious mood completely disappeared, and was replaced by a spirit of striving and vigor.

One treasure ship after another was docked at the dock of Liusha Sect as trophies.

The corpses of countless monks were transported to the sect.

There were also some who, although not killed, had their cultivation almost wasted. They were shackled and fitted with soul-severing rings, and were dragged into the forbidden mines of the Liusha Sect like pigs and dogs.

In the vast sect square made of white jade, a great monk in the late Jindan stage was tied up by a huge tree and suspended in the air. Balls of purple flames fell from time to time and burned his soul.

The screams were incessant, making all the monks passing by terrified.

But there were some who mustered up the courage to spit and curse with disdain.

But all this has nothing to do with Gu Yuan.

At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged in the quiet room of the [Sand King Palace], with the blue fetal fire surging in front of his knees, and he was constantly refining the [Yin Yang Golden Seal].

This is the Golden Seal of the Dao Embryo. It had only been simply refined before. If you want to truly refine it and control it as if by an arm to erase Ji Tonghe's mark, it will still take some time.

"Yin and Yang together, we can reach bliss together."

"This seal is a treasure when used in dual cultivation. It can greatly enhance the effect of dual cultivation. However, it is quite detrimental to the harmony between heaven and earth, and is not the true great way..."

Gu Yuan opened his eyes, looked at the golden seal in front of his knees, and sighed slightly.

Ji Tonghe was indeed taking the "heterodox shortcut". The [Golden Seal of Yin and Yang] was not a Taoist method of dual cultivation, but a method of replenishing yang with yin. This seal was of great benefit to the owner of the seal, as it could absorb the female's yin essence, transform it into magic power, and quickly heal injuries.

Even some extremely obscure poisons and spells that damage the foundation can be restored.

If the female yin energy absorbed is sufficient and pure enough, it can even increase one's lifespan, which is quite amazing.

But for Gu Yuan, it was a little inappropriate.

After all, taking yin to replenish yang is not the right way, it requires a "cauldron and furnace".

Moreover, the magic power gained through this method is not as pure as that of the Xuanmen orthodox method. One strand of magic power is probably only 80% of that of a normal cultivator.

"Forgetting the essentials and pursuing the trivial..."

Gu Yuan shook his head slightly.

But he still put the seal into his dantian and nurtured it with his magic power.

It is always good to have many skills. Who knows, this seal may come in handy one day. After all, it is a golden seal with great power, comparable to supernatural powers.

"Wow!"

After refining the seal, Gu Yuan opened Ji Tonghe's Qiankun bag again.

In an instant, a pile of strange things rolled out and hovered in front of Gu Yuan.

"boom!"

Gu Yuan stretched out his hand and waved it. The green fetal fire surged, directly burning all the colorful underwear and rouge and powder inside. Then he looked at the things inside.

There are about dozens of elixirs and spiritual herbs below the fourth level, and countless spiritual stones.

As for the elixirs and spiritual herbs above the fourth level, Gu Yuan took a quick look and was greatly disappointed.

"Confusing Heart Pill, Passion Pill, Seven Emotions Grass..." "They are all vulgar and low-brow things that are not worthy of being presented in a refined hall."

“However, this Xiliu Sea is barren to begin with. After this person broke through to the Daotai stage, he probably never left this sea. It is normal that there are no treasures.”

But in a flash, Gu Yuan calmed down and looked at the spiritual treasures and classics.

There are two spiritual treasures in total, one of which is the middle-grade Wind-Fixing Bead.

There is another item, which is a protective mirror. After Gu Yuan refined it, he learned its name: [Yin Yang Gilded Mirror].

This mirror contains the power of yin and yang, the combination of water and fire, which can be transformed into an extremely powerful yin and yang barrier. However, it was broken by Gu Yuan's sword, and a big hole was also broken in the mirror body, greatly reducing its power.

In addition to these two spiritual treasures, there is also a copper-yellow large furnace used for refining tools.

This furnace is not a fourth-rank spiritual treasure, but it has countless spiritual patterns on it and the furnace body is made of extraordinary material. It is obviously also a treasure. If it can be watered by the sap of the sun and the moon, it will probably have an extraordinary promotion.

"This person is actually a weapon refiner..."

“As expected, if one is proficient in one method, then all methods are proficient in it. Although this person practices evil methods, he also has a good understanding of the principles of yin and yang. He has the ability to balance water and fire, and can refine weapons like a fish in water…”

While refining these spiritual treasures, Gu Yuan flipped through the classics in his Qiankun bag and couldn't help but sigh.

"The Great Dao Record of Yin and Yang Together!"

"The Secret of Seizing Yin!"

"Sky-filled Mist Seal!"

"Hundred Insects Yin and Yang Record!"

"The One True Method of Refining Treasures, Water and Fire!"

"..."

There are all kinds of classics, and there is even a directory that records various names and identities, which are used by Ji Tonghe to play different identities.

His real name is Qiu. When he was refining Qi, he changed his name to Li Guangsheng. He was honest and kind. He joined a small sect to practice. When he was building his foundation, he betrayed the sect and changed his name to Tang Yuan. After he achieved the Golden Elixir, he became a casual cultivator and changed his name to Ji Tonghe.

"This person must have had a great adventure, otherwise it would be impossible for him to collect so many books..."

Gu Yuan flipped through the books carefully and discovered that Ji Tonghe's collection of classics was enormous, not something that could be collected by a single person. They covered everything, and there were dozens of Yin-Yang techniques alone.

"It gives me an advantage."

But Gu Yuan loved classics the most in his life. The more classics he had, the happier he was.

Knowledge is power, and this sentence is not empty words for him.

"There are still a few days left, so read more."

After refining several spiritual treasures, Gu Yuan calmed his mind and prepared to study them carefully.

A day passes in the blink of an eye.

Gu Yuan was still immersed in it, watching with great interest.

But at this moment, a gentle voice suddenly came from the outside world: "In order to repay Daoyou's great kindness, my Liusha Sect has specially prepared a grand banquet, which will be held at sunset. Daoyou, please come and enjoy it."

The voice belonged to none other than Fairy Mengyun from Liusha Sect.

"A grand banquet?"

Gu Yuan thought to himself.

In the past few days, outside the quiet room, there have been disciples of the Liusha Sect serving and offering delicacies and spiritual objects for Gu Yuan's needs.

However, Gu Yuan was so absorbed in refining treasures and reading scriptures that he ignored it.

But today's banquet...

"Thank you for the invitation, Fairy. I will definitely attend the banquet!"

Gu Yuan thought for a moment, then answered loudly.

After all, the Liusha Sect is a sect with thousands of years of history and has controlled the West Liuhai for many years. It can be regarded as a hegemon. There must be countless classics in it. If we can comprehend and communicate with each other, and discuss the truth together, it will be worth the trip.

Cultivation is not about working in isolation.

"Thank you for your presence, fellow Daoist. I will send my sister to invite you again at sunset."

"Although my Liusha Sect does not have a good foundation, it is rich in Tiansha gold silk. This silk is used to weave Taoist robes, which are gorgeous and restrained, and can protect against water and fire. I am now giving you one set of daily clothes and one set of Taoist robes. Please accept them!"

Fairy Mengyun bowed gracefully outside the hall, then put down two robes and turned to leave.

"Robes?"

As soon as Gu Yuan thought about it, two Taoist robes appeared in front of him.

The daily uniform is a narrow-sleeved, slanting-collared gown, mainly dark blue with white as the secondary color, with gold thread and floating cloud patterns, which is very exquisite.

The Taoist robe is similar to the robe worn by high-ranking Taoist priests. It has a front opening, reaches the ankles, and is sleeveless. The sleeves are long enough to fit the body, with patterns of yin and yang, water and fire on them. It is gorgeous but not extravagant, and very beautiful.

In addition, everything else is available, including shoes, socks, jade hairpins, belts and tiaras.

"It's really good..."

Gu Yuan reached out his hand and rubbed it gently, only to feel it was warm and cool, like jade, and he was immediately amazed.

Xiliuhai's embroidery skills are indeed unique.

With a wave of his sleeves, he put away his robe, then picked up the "Record of Yin and Yang of Hundreds of Insects" and began to read it carefully.

……

……

The golden crow sets in the west and sunset soon arrives.

Gu Yuan felt something in his heart. He slowly raised his head, stood up, took out a casual suit, and put it on.

"Senior Yuan, the banquet is ready, please come and join us!"

Just as he finished dressing, a cold voice came from outside the hall.

"Let's go!"

Gu Yuan's figure flashed and he flew with Fairy Yuxuan towards the main hall of Liusha Sect, Yusha Hall.

"Welcome to the Heavenly Palace Master!"

The Yusha Palace was already crowded with people. All the people of Liusha Sect who had a little status and identity gathered in the palace. The lights were on and the atmosphere was full of joy.

Seeing Fairy Yuxuan leading Gu Yuan towards them, all the disciples in the hall stood up and saluted in unison, with waves of cheers.

This is a longing and admiration from the heart.

Turn the tide when it is about to fall, and support the building when it is about to collapse.

He is truly a true person sent from heaven.

Qin Yun, Heart Eater and others also stood up and saluted, but their expressions were mostly smiling, as if they were proud of it. Heart Eater even winked at them.

Following Fairy Mengyun and dealing with those Feiyu Sect disciples, they also gained considerable benefits.

"Fellow Taoist, please!"

Fairy Mengyun deliberately gave up the main seat and invited Gu Yuan to come forward.

"How can a guest occupy the host's seat?"

Gu Yuan said modestly.

"Without you, there would be no Liusha Sect. Today, only you have the qualification to sit in the main seat."

Fairy Mengyun said solemnly.

"If that's the case, then I'd rather be respectful than obey!"

Gu Yuan sighed lightly and did not refuse anymore. He bowed slightly to Fairy Mengyun and then sat down leisurely.

Afterwards, everyone in the hall took their seats in order according to their level of cultivation. Then the jade bell rang and the celebration banquet began.

There are countless delicacies, wines and delicious food.

The colorful mist and the sound of the pipa echoed endlessly.

The hall was filled with joy.

Gu Yuan drank non-stop and was immersed in this joy.

However, he knew that today's banquet was definitely not the real purpose of Fairy Mengyun.

He had only been sitting in the hall for half an hour, and the other party had "unintentionally looked at him thirty times."
