Chapter 97: Future Empress Jiang Yuyan

Not long after Gu Changfeng left Wudang, the letter from Wanwan finally arrived.

It’s a pity that it may take more than a month before it can be opened.

at the same time.

In the Shaolin Temple, outside the Wrathful Buddha Hall, a monk in gray robes stood respectfully with his head bowed, but dared not make a sound.

It was not until an hour later that he heard a voice and dared to push the door open.

What caught his eye was a huge, ferocious and angry statue of Vajra Buddha. The gray-robed monk did not dare to look up and walked deeper into the temple.

At this time, deep in the Buddhist temple.

The angry old monk sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, surrounded by endless golden swastika Buddhist seals. He looked solemn and dignified, as if the Buddha were still alive.

When the gray-robed monk arrived, he bowed respectfully to the angry old monk.

"Ancestor!"

He asked in a deep voice with his eyes still tightly closed.

"What's the matter?"

The gray-robed monk spoke quickly.

"Ancestor, I received news that Gu Changfeng left Wudang alone today and headed south."

Swish!
The angry old monk suddenly opened his eyes, and in his pupils there was an upside-down golden swastika Buddhist seal, overflowing with golden light and a terrifying aura.

The monks in the meeting had cold sweat on their foreheads and their heads hung even lower.

The angry old monk thought for a moment and then spoke slowly.

“Although I don’t know why Gu Changfeng left Wudang, this is obviously a good opportunity to make him disappear.”

"Wuhua is still in seclusion. Most of the great masters of Shaolin are in the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty, so we can't spare any manpower for the time being."

"How about this, contact the Qinglong Society and ask them to take action."

The monks in the meeting were embarrassed after hearing this, "But, ancestor, with Gu Changfeng's current strength, the price will probably be very high."

The angry old monk snorted coldly, grabbed with one hand, and golden light gathered in the palm of his hand, eventually forming a thumb-sized golden bead, which he threw towards the gray-robed monk.

"Is this enough?"

The gray-robed monk quickly caught it, somewhat shocked.

"It's actually the Luck Bead? Old Ancestor, is it really necessary to pay such a huge price to kill a Grandmaster?"

He glared but his expression remained unchanged, his eyes were full of coldness.

"Grandmaster? Gu Changfeng is more than just a grandmaster."

"Before this, have you ever seen a Grandmaster who is less than 20 years old? Have you ever seen someone who has just broken through the Grandmaster realm and can defeat the three Grandmasters of Shaolin head-on?"

"If he continues to grow, who knows if he will become the second Zhang Sanfeng."

"These costs are totally worth it!"

The gray-robed monk sensed the endless murderous intent in the angry tone, so he said no more, bowed and retreated.

Thousands of miles away from Mount Wudang, a streak of green light passed by so quickly that ordinary people could not even notice it.

Gu Changfeng lay comfortably on the broad flying sword created by magic power. There was a layer of translucent green light surrounding him, which blocked all the strong winds generated during the flight.

Looking at the ground beneath him rapidly receding, Yunjuanyunshu couldn't help but laugh.

"Tsk tsk, although it's not as comfortable as flying in the previous life, it's relatively freer."

"However, with my current strength at the foundation-building stage, although I can fly on the sword for a long time, I still need to land every once in a while to replenish my mana."

"When I reach a higher level, I may be able to refine a flying magic weapon, which will make traveling much more convenient."

"But I have spent most of my time on the flying sword these days, which is indeed a bit boring."

Suddenly, Gu Changfeng thought of the spiritual root testing method he had just created and the process of several tests.

'So far, testing spiritual roots must rely on the origin runes that represent a certain attribute of spiritual roots.'

"Whether it fits or not depends on how much the runes light up after injecting the energy and blood."

'Although it can be tested, it doesn't seem intuitive enough. Even if it's talent, there should be a rough level division.'

'And there is another problem. The people being tested now are all those who already have martial arts skills. They can all control their own Qi and blood power. But if it is a child like Zhang Wuji, who is not even at the postnatal level, I am afraid he cannot even inject Qi and blood power on his own.'

Thinking of this, Gu Changfeng sat up from the flying sword and stretched out his hand.

Green magic power overflowed from the palm of his hand, outlining the origin rune of the wood attribute spiritual root.

After staring at it for a long time, Gu Changfeng had some ideas.

"As for cultivating immortality, it is naturally better to start as early as possible. In this case, the testing method may need to be changed."

'It would be best if it could be tested directly without injecting Qi and blood.'

After having the idea, the runes on Gu Changfeng's palm began to change constantly.

Its essence is still the wood-attributed spiritual root, but its appearance is slightly different.

Gu Changfeng's consciousness quickly sank into the spiritual space, and various thoughts flashed through his mind.

'Since it is related to the power of Qi and blood, it can be made into something similar to the scanners of later generations, directly scanning the human body and then giving the answer, which is much more convenient.'

After five days.

Gu Changfeng, who was sitting cross-legged on the flying sword, stretched out his hand again, and a dim rune condensed in the palm of his hand.

Its appearance was somewhat different from the one Gu Changfeng had carved on the trunk of the tree before. It was obviously more slender, and there was an eye-like symbol on the top.

If you look closely, you can see that there seem to be scales where the runes are connected, dividing them into ten equal parts.

Next, Gu Changfeng activated his magic power, and the eye symbol at the top of the dim rune lit up, covering Gu Changfeng entirely.

next moment.

Bright green light quickly lit up from the bottom of the rune to the top.

Seeing this, Gu Changfeng nodded and was very satisfied with his improvements.

"Now you don't even need to inject Qi and blood, you can just scan directly."

"It is divided into ten levels overall, and the display of the compatibility of spiritual roots is more intuitive."

After putting away the rune, Gu Changfeng looked down and saw a square city in the distance. With a thought, the green flying sword transformed by magic power flew down to the ground at a high speed.

"We have been traveling for about seven or eight days. We are probably near the Qinling Mountains. We can go down to ask for directions and have a bite to eat in the city."

Gu Changfeng didn't want to cause a sensation, so he landed more than ten miles away from the city gate.

Not long after, Gu Changfeng, wearing a green Taoist robe, strolled over to the city gate.

You can see people coming and going in an endless stream, and it is very lively.

There were vendors pulling carts full of goods, people from the martial arts world wearing tight clothes and carrying various weapons, and young men and rich ladies holding folding fans and wearing brocade robes.

Gu Changfeng looked up at the plaque on the city wall and a smile appeared on his face.

"Shicheng is the city closest to the Qinling Mountains. It seems I am not off track."

Then he walked towards the city.

The people around couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Gu Changfeng. It was because his temperament was too special.

Not only is he handsome, but his tranquility, as if he has merged with nature, is even more touching.

Until Gu Changfeng's figure was about to enter the city gate.

A beautiful young lady from a wealthy family in the crowd stared at Gu Changfeng without blinking and muttered to herself.

"This man is truly handsome."

"And he smells so good, just like being in a forest, so relaxing and refreshing."

Inside the stone city.

Gu Changfeng ignored the gazes of the people around him and went straight to the restaurant that his spiritual sense had already discovered.

Although he is now able to fast, Gu Changfeng does not want to give up his appetite.

Not only that, on the road Gu Changfeng also secretly took out the improved spiritual root test rune and randomly scanned the pedestrians around him.

The result obtained is basically that there is no compatibility with the wood attribute spiritual root, but there are very few people who can make the rune light up one or two squares.

Seeing that the rune he improved was useful, Gu Changfeng was in a very good mood and put the rune away.

Inside the restaurant, the waiter's eyes lit up immediately when he saw Gu Changfeng enter.

It was because his temperament was too special, and the Taoist robe he wore did not look luxurious.

But for the experienced waiter who has to see countless people every day, such customers are basically wealthy people.

He skillfully placed the rag in his hand over his shoulder with a smile on his face.

"Sir, what would you like to eat?"

Gu Changfeng waved his hand and said casually, "Please show me all the signs of your store."

The waiter's smile grew even brighter, and he quickly agreed to lead the way.

"Okay, there is no room on the first floor. Please go to the second floor!"

Gu Changfeng nodded and followed the waiter to the second floor of the restaurant.

I have to say that the decoration of this building is very nice, with antique charm everywhere.

What is even more rare is that there are vertical screens around each dining table on the second floor. They look like simple partitions, which greatly improves the privacy of dining and gives people the feeling of a private room.

Gu Changfeng found an empty seat and sat down, then asked the waiter.

"I wonder how far the Qinling Sword Sect is from here?"

The waiter was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"So you are planning to go to the Qinling Sword Sect. Their mountain gate is at the foot of the Qinling Mountains."

"After leaving Stone City, continue south for about two or three hundred miles and you will arrive."

Gu Changfeng nodded, a look of understanding appearing on his face.

Before long, the table was filled with a variety of delicious dishes.

Gu Changfeng's appetite increased. He picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth. The spicy taste exploded instantly.

"Well, it feels good!"

Gu Changfeng showed enjoyment on his face.

at this time.

Suddenly, there was a clanging sound like a teacup falling to the ground from the table next to us, followed by the woman's fierce roar.

"You bastard!"

"You eat our food and use our things all day long, but you can't even do such a small thing. You can't even pour tea?"

"You're such a bitch. I should have thrown you out to fend for yourself."

Snapped!
Then there was a loud slap.

The screen in front of Gu Changfeng was knocked down by a thin body.

Frowning, Gu Changfeng looked at the person who fell not far from him.

It was a little girl, who seemed to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, very thin, with yellowish hair, and looked malnourished.

Sitting at the table next to her was a middle-aged woman with a bloated figure but wearing extremely gorgeous clothes. She was still cursing at this moment, and all kinds of ugly words kept coming out of her mouth.

Gu Changfeng suddenly had an idea. The rune for detecting spiritual roots appeared in his hand and he scanned the little girl who fell to the ground.

The next moment, Gu Changfeng's face showed surprise.

Nine grids of green light suddenly lit up above the rune!

This means that this little girl’s compatibility with the wood attribute spiritual root is even higher than Yu Daying’s!

Gu Changfeng stood up, reached out to help the little girl who was covering her face, and asked softly.

"Little girl, what's your name?"

The little girl answered truthfully with a timid look on her face.

"My name is Jiang Yuyan."

Gu Changfeng was stunned.

Jiang Yuyan? The future empress Jiang Yuyan?
