The female nun just wants to live forever

Chapter 29 The Land of Immortality
Until the second half of the night, perhaps because I was in a state of high mental stress in the first half of the night and killing snakes consumed my physical strength and spiritual energy, I fell asleep in a daze.

When I opened my eyes again, the sun was already high on the mountains. The sunlight fell through the window lattice, and the broken shadows on the ground were mottled.

This is the first time since she got the jade plate that she woke up late.

Gu Nian turned over and straightened out the wrinkled Taoist robe, then took the basin and handkerchief to go out and wash up.

When I opened the door, the sun was shining brightly, and the morning wind carried a faint fragrance of earth, blowing towards my face. I couldn't help but take a deep breath.

When she opened her eyes again, she found a rickety figure standing outside the yard.

"Mr. Zhao?"

Mr. Zhao had never appeared like this before. At this moment, the feeling of comfort in his mind was gone, replaced by caution.

She looked at Mr. Zhao cautiously and asked softly.

"I'm going on a long trip, and I may not come back for a long time. You guys... do you want to leave?"

Mr. Zhao did not turn around. He still faced Chu Yang and turned his back to her. He stood with his hands behind his back and spoke lightly, with a tone that seemed to have a meaning of farewell.

Gu Nian heard what he meant. She was silent for a long time, her eyes seemed to be thinking, and then she shook her head after a moment.

"Mr. Zhao, this disciple and Senior Brother Xu will take good care of the Spring Valley and wait for your return."

In fact, Gu Nian wanted to leave because the Taiyue Sect gave her an uneasy feeling, but she had too many secrets and she didn't dare to expose them until she had enough strength.

Maybe Mr. Zhao doesn't like the jade plate, but no matter who it is, the secret of longevity will be moved, at least that's what she thinks.

Mr. Zhao was not angry at Gu Nian's rejection. Instead, he smiled softly and spoke.

"Wang Zhixian entrusted you to me in the hope that I could cure your hidden illness. Now that your hidden illness has been cured and you have stepped into the stream of cultivating immortals, if he knew better, he wouldn't blame me."

As he spoke, he let out a long sigh.

Then he continued: "Everyone in the world says that immortality is just a delusion, but they don't know that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky. After all, Nanzhou is still too small."

His tone paused, his head moved slightly, and he didn't know where he was looking, he just warned.

"Gu Nian, you are extremely enlightened and will never succumb to the world at the bottom of this well. If you have the opportunity, leave this tiny place and see the world outside. That is where the immortality flourishes."

"Many waters don't have your level of understanding. Throughout his life, he can only stop at the threshold of introducing Qi into his body. On the contrary, perhaps leaving the world of immortality is his destination."

After saying that, without waiting for Gu Nian to respond, Mr. Zhao's aura suddenly surged, and he immediately rose into the sky, turning into residual light and flying away until he disappeared.

Gu Nian stared blankly at the disappearing figure, the words just now seemed to be close to her ears.

In fact, as early as the first conversation with Elder Wang and knowing about cultivating immortals, she had already made assumptions in her mind.

If there really are immortals in this world, then why are there only paper notes left in this world, but no sight of immortals accepting disciples?

After entering Taiyue Gate, you can see that Taiyue Gate has a grand scene of immortal gates. There is only one immortal gate in Nanzhou, and the rest are from dynasties and sects.

This is very unreasonable.

The only explanation is that there is a larger world outside Nanzhou, and that is where the immortal family gathers.

That's why Gu Nian yearned more for the path to immortality and worked hard to learn various immortal sects. The reason was that he just wanted to go out and have a look.

Immortals, steal the energy of creation to live forever, steal the energy of heaven and earth to live forever, and refine the essence of the five elements to change life.

If she doesn't go out for a walk and pursue that ethereal path in her new life, she won't be willing to do it, and her thoughts won't be clear.

Mr. Zhao left very simply.

Gu Nian knew that he would probably not come back. As for whether they could see each other again in the future, it would be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. But Gu Nian did not let down his guard, but practiced harder and maintained his own pace of life.

After killing the big snake and experiencing a thrilling battle, she found that her actual combat experience had improved rapidly, especially her mastery of the flowing water sword technique, which had reached the point where she could move the sword at will.

However, because he killed the big snake, his long sword was damaged and he lost his weapon.

If a swordsman does not have a sword, can it still be called swordsmanship?
So Gu Nian was going to buy another sword.

After picking up the mood and having breakfast with Wu Chi, Duoshui went to deliver food to Mr. Zhao, only to find that Mr. Zhao was missing.

He put the plate in the kitchen and asked, "Junior sister, why is Mr. Zhao not in the room?"

"Mr. Zhao is out of the valley." Gu Nian was eating and thinking about whether he should buy a better sword later.

"Ah?" Many Shui were stunned, and some didn't expect: "Not long after Zhao Laogang came back, why did he come out of the valley again?"

"I don't know either." Gu Nian shrugged.

"By the way, senior brother, I'm going to visit the sect later. Do you have anything to buy?"

"Why are you going to the sect again? My elder brother said that there are some guys in the sect who might be targeting us and told us to be careful."

"The sword is broken."

Gu Nian put down the bowls and chopsticks, left a few words, and prepared to leave the valley. Just a few steps away, she heard many people shouting while clearing the bowls and chopsticks.

"Junior sister, buy some meat and come back. There isn't much meat left in the valley."

"it is good!"

……

When I came to the elixir hall again, I didn't see Ruan Xiaolin, but another slightly older woman on duty at the counter.

After some conversation, I learned from him that Ruan Xiaolin had gone down the mountain to practice, so she would temporarily take over the duty of guarding the elixir hall.

The woman's name was Shan Qiu. She was one of the disciples who entered Taiyue Sect before Gu Nian. She had the qualifications of three spiritual roots, but unfortunately she had poor understanding. After three years of joining the sect, she could only practice the third level of Qi.

Perhaps because she was young, or because she was the medicine boy in the Valley of Rejuvenation, Shan Qiu was more enthusiastic towards her.

"Junior sister Gu, if you really like to use swords, I have one here, which may be suitable for you." Seeing Gu Nian pick up the sword and then put it down, unable to make a decision, she said with a smile.

Gu Nian looked at her suspiciously, a little cautiously.

Shan Qiu smiled and said: "Junior sister, don't worry, I got that sword by chance. The blade is extremely sharp. Although it cannot cut iron like clay, it is much better than ordinary iron. However, this sword has not been released." It's on you, you need to pick it up in two days."

"This……"

Gu Nian hesitated.

She didn't understand why the other party suddenly gave her the sword. It didn't look like killing people to seize treasures. Could it be that they wanted to make friends?

But why did the other party want to befriend her? Not to mention that she has very little strength, almost no connections, and no status or background in the sect.

I wonder how such a person can be befriended by someone giving him a sword.

"Junior sister is cautious."

Seeing the hesitation on Gu Nian's face, Shan Qiu suddenly smiled: "Actually, junior sister, you don't need to be nervous. I have heard from senior brother Ruan about you. I heard that your alchemy skills are quite impressive. I guess you have obtained the inheritance from Zhao Laozhen."

"Speaking of it, you and I are both working for the Pill Hall, so we are of the same lineage. If we don't know each other, wouldn't it be strange that the senior sister doesn't know the number of people and seems a little arrogant. If you are not at ease, you can also sell it to the sect at the price You are."

Hearing what the other party said, Gu Nian seemed a little ashamed, and immediately held up his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Senior Sister Shan."
