I, the Wudang junior master, only want to cultivate immortality!

Chapter 95 Preparing to Go Down the Mountain
"Are the people from the Qinling Sword Sect still in Wudang?" Gu Changfeng asked impatiently.

Song Yuanqiao thought for a moment and nodded. "The leader of the Qinling Sword Sect is an elder named Zhou. They just arrived at Wudang yesterday and should not have left today."

Gu Changfeng was delighted after hearing this, "Brother, please ask Elder Zhou to come to Zhenwu Hall immediately. I have something to ask him."

Seeing that Gu Changfeng was so anxious, Song Yuanqiao didn't waste any words and quickly gave orders.

Then everyone asked.

"Junior brother, what's going on?"

"Could this strange stone be an extremely rare treasure?"

Gu Changfeng took a deep breath, held up the spirit stone in his hand, and explained slowly.

"All of you brothers know that I am cultivating the way of immortality and absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth."

"And this thing, if I'm right, should be a spiritual stone. A spiritual stone, as the name suggests, is a stone that contains extremely pure spiritual energy."

"And the application of spiritual stones is also extremely wide. They are needed for setting up formations, refining elixirs, the way of talismans, some research on the way of immortality, etc."

"Even if we want to popularize the immortal way to the entire Wudang Sect, spirit stones are also indispensable!"

Now everyone's faces showed surprise, and they instantly understood the importance of spirit stones.

To a certain extent, spirit stones are even more precious than so-called magic weapons.

Not long after, a short and fat middle-aged man in his forties came to the Zhenwu Hall led by a disciple of the Wudang Sect.

There was an obvious hint of humility and flattery on the middle-aged man's face, and he bowed to everyone.

"Zhou Tong from the Qinling Sword Sect has met the Seven Heroes and Young Master Gu."

"I wonder what you are looking for me for?"

Song Yuanqiao smiled modestly, "Elder Zhou, there is no need to be so polite."

Then he pointed at Gu Changfeng who was standing next to him and said, "Actually, I asked you to come here because my junior brother wants to see you for something."

Zhou Tong showed a look of surprise on his face, looked at Gu Changfeng, and quickly smiled.

"So this is the world-famous Young Master Gu. Seeing you today, Young Master Gu is indeed handsome and has an extraordinary temperament."

Gu Changfeng scanned with his spiritual sense and found that this person's realm was only the late stage of the Innate Realm. It was obvious that his talent was not very good.

After some polite exchanges, he picked up the spirit stone and went straight to the point.

"I don't know what this is, and where did Elder Zhou get it from."

Zhou Tong was stunned at first, then he suddenly realized and quickly replied.

"So that's what happened."

"I actually don't know what this strange stone is. I only know that it is very hard and difficult to destroy. Even if you use great efforts to open it, the things inside will disappear."

"It was found accidentally by a disciple of our sect in the Qinling Mountains."

"Because it looks quite gorgeous, like a gem, many female disciples of my Qinling Sword Sect love it and like to use it as decoration."

"If Young Master Gu likes it, I will have someone send more of it when I return to the sect."

Gu Changfeng's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this.

Such a precious spiritual stone is actually only used as decoration, which is a waste of resources.

But since it was found in the Qinling Mountains, perhaps there are spiritual stone veins in it!

Taking a deep breath, Gu Changfeng continued to ask.

"Elder Zhou, I wonder where exactly in the Qinling Mountains one can find this strange stone?"

Zhou Tong was stunned when he heard this, and a difficult look appeared on his face.

"I don't know the exact location."

"Only some young people in the sect like to collect these useless things. Old guys like us are not very interested."

Gu Changfeng and several of his senior brothers looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then said calmly.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you Elder Zhou for telling me."

Song Yuanqiao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. Zhou Tong understood what he meant and left with a smile on his face.

Zhou Tong originally wanted to establish a relationship with Wudang, a newly-risen top-notch sect, but he unexpectedly gained something unexpected.

Gu Changfeng, who is known as the number one genius in Jiuzhou, actually took a fancy to the things of Qinling Sword Sect, and these things are not worth much at all. If we can cater to his interests, we may be able to deepen our relationship.

"Hehe, if I really have a relationship with Gu Changfeng, then who in the Qinling area would dare to mess with my Qinling Sword Sect?"

'After returning, I immediately ordered people to collect all the strange stones in the sect and send them to Wudang!'

Several thoughts flashed through Zhou Tong's mind.

In the Zhenwu Hall, after Zhou Tong left, Yu Lianzhou spoke.

"Junior brother, according to Zhou Tong, there may still be a lot of spiritual stones in the Qinling Mountains."

"In that case, why don't we give them some sweet treats so that they can send us the spirit stones."

Zhang Songxi shook his head. "Spiritual stones are so important. Isn't it too safe to send them through someone else? Why don't we send someone we trust?"

Everyone present was a high-ranking Wudang official, and they all knew that Gu Changfeng had recently been researching how to artificially create spiritual roots and promote immortal techniques. The importance of spirit stones was self-evident.

Gu Changfeng shook his head. "Actually, there is one thing I didn't mention. Spiritual stones never appear alone."

"Since the Qinling Sword Sect's people have found spirit stones in the Qinling Mountains, there is a high probability that there is a spirit stone vein there!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present held their breath.

Originally I thought it was just a small amount of spirit stones, but if there really was a spirit stone vein, then the situation would be completely different.

"How about this, I'll go there myself!"

Mo Shenggu stood up and spoke.

Yin Liting took over the conversation, "It's still not safe for you to go alone, why don't we go together."

Gu Changfeng smiled when he saw the two brothers volunteering, but he refused. "I know both brothers have good intentions, but I'm afraid it would be safer for me to go there in person."

"I am the only one who can accurately find the location of the spirit stone vein."

When Gu Changfeng said this, Song Yuanqiao and others all frowned.

Yu Daying spoke at the right time, "Junior brother, are you going there in person? It's not that we don't trust you, but the people from Shaolin were beaten badly by you last time. If you leave Wudang, they might retaliate against you and attack you in secret!"

Zhang Cuishan also echoed, "Yes, Junior Brother, these bald donkeys are ruthless and there is nothing they can't accomplish."

"The outside world is in an uproar right now. You'd better stay in Wudang and avoid the limelight for a while."

"Why don't we send a few of us to go there for you? Although the spiritual stone vein is a little harder to find, even if we turn the entire Qinling Mountains upside down, I promise to find it for you!"

Song Yuanqiao and others also spoke up.

Everyone understood that Gu Changfeng was now far more important to the entire Wudang Sect than any of them.

The aptitude of these old fellows is average, and it is basically impossible for them to improve after their current level of cultivation.

But Gu Changfeng is different. He has extraordinary talent and has reached such a realm at a young age. It is almost certain that he will reach the realm of his master Zhang Sanfeng in the future.

Gu Changfeng represents the future of Wudang Sect!

Not to mention that Gu Changfeng is also a key person in promoting the way of immortality.

As far as the Wudang Sect is concerned, Gu Changfeng must not be harmed in any way.

After hearing this, Gu Changfeng felt warm at heart and felt the concern of his fellow brothers.

After a little thought, he politely declined the suggestion of his senior brothers with a firm attitude.

"My fellow brothers, I understand your intentions."

"But the fact that the spirit stone vein is so important, I must go there in person."

"Besides, I am not a child anymore. There is no problem for me to travel around the world. As for those bald monks from Shaolin, if they dare to come, I will make sure they never return!"

"You guys don't know my strength yet?"

Seeing that Gu Changfeng insisted, Zhang Cuishan and others had no choice.

"Then, little brother, when are you going to leave? Wudang is thousands of miles away from the Qinling Mountains. It will take at least a month to go back and forth. Aren't you going to the Great Sui territory later?"

Song Yuanqiao asked.

Gu Changfeng said without any hesitation, "The matter over at the Great Sui will be in August, there are still three months left, so there is definitely enough time."

"Let's set off tomorrow without further delay."

Song Yuanqiao nodded, "By the way, do you want someone to accompany you?"

Gu Changfeng waved his hand, "No need, I can go alone."

For Gu Changfeng, now that he has reached the foundation-building stage, he is able to fly on a sword for a long time. The speed is much faster than a carriage or something like that. A round trip takes less than a month.

Bringing people along is actually a burden.

After the discussion, Song Yuanqiao spoke.

"In that case, I will ask Zhou Tong to write a letter, and then you can go directly to the leader of the Qinling Sword Sect."

After arranging everything, Gu Changfeng suddenly thought of something and smiled.

"Senior brothers, I have recently developed a method for testing spiritual roots. Wang Mu and Qing Shu have both tested it."

"But for now, we can only test the compatibility with wood-attributed spiritual roots. You can also go and try it."

When several people heard this, they all showed surprise in their eyes.

"Oh? It can actually test spiritual roots. Let's go and take a look."

Not long after.

The eight brothers arrived under the giant tree on the back mountain of Tianzhu Peak.

Song Qingshu and Wang Mu, who were lying on the grass and slacking off, suddenly jumped up from the ground and saluted respectfully to everyone.

A few people waved their hands casually, ignored the two, and went straight to the big tree with runes engraved on it.

According to the order of seniority, Song Yuanqiao was the first to step forward for the test.

Place your hand on the rune and inject the energy of Qi and blood into it.

Song Qingshu and Wang Mu hurried over and poked their heads around, wanting to know the test results.

As a result, Song Yuanqiao stood there for a long time, but the rune didn't respond at all. He withdrew his hand and stepped back with a helpless expression.

Seeing this, Gu Changfeng seemed to be thinking about something.

'Song Qingshu and my elder brother both have a very low compatibility with wood-attributed spiritual roots. They are father and son, so perhaps the spiritual root attributes have something to do with heredity.'

Then, the remaining six people were tested one by one.

Among them, there are three people who have no compatibility at all: Zhang Cuishan, Yin Liting and Mo Shenggu.

When Yu Lianzhou and Zhang Songxi pressed it, the rune did light up, but it was almost the same as Wang Mu's, only one-third brighter.

This shows that the compatibility between the two people and their wood-attributed spiritual roots is not high, so there is little point in switching to practicing immortal cultivation.

But surprisingly, when Yu Daying tested it, two-thirds of the entire rune lit up!

Gu Changfeng spoke truthfully.

"Now it seems that Third Senior Brother has a good compatibility with the wood attribute spiritual root. If he switches to the immortal cultivation method, there won't be much of a problem."

"But at present, I can only test the compatibility with wood-attributed spiritual roots. Perhaps Third Senior Brother is more compatible with spiritual roots of other attributes."

“Also, after Wang Mu’s previous test, going from martial arts to immortality might result in a fall in a major realm.”

"Third Brother, are you willing to turn to the immortal path now?"
