Chapter 210 Dangerous True Immortal Trial, Refining Gu, Refining Man, Refining Heaven
The mysterious old man smiled and said when he heard Lu Chen's words: "You don't even know what I want you to do, so you agreed so quickly?"
"If I want you to die, what will you do?"
"That's right!"
Before Lu Chen could answer, Shangguan Yunmeng next to him reacted.
Although the other cultivators felt that the old man's tone seemed to be a joke.
But they had to admit that there was nothing wrong with what the old man said.
If the old man really asked them to die, they would not really die.
Thinking of this, the expressions of some cultivators began to become serious.
Thinking about what they should do if they could not complete or could not complete what the old man said in a while.
But unlike the nervous people around him, Lu Chen acted very calm.
"If you really want us to die, you could have done it before in the bamboo forest. There is no need to waste words with us."
"Oh? Interesting."
The old man looked at Lu Chen and seemed to see something interesting.
Then he looked me up and down, and said with a smile: "Did you find me at that time?"
In response, Lu Chen said calmly: "I just found a little unusual atmosphere around me."
After saying this, the old man looked at Lu Chen with a more playful look.
The others looked at Lu Chen in astonishment.
You know, when they were in the bamboo forest just now, they didn't find anything.
As for how Lu Chen found the "old man", the principle is also very simple.
That is the fate of Di Ting, the innate nine qi.
Although the cultivator can hide his spiritual power, it is difficult for outsiders to discover him.
Spiritual power is just one of the nine qi.
Since Lu Chen obtained the fate of Di Ting.
The world in front of him has become more colorful.
Murderous intent, hatred, anger, death, depression, happiness...
All emotional fluctuations will appear in front of Lu Chen in the form of special aura colors.
For example, once someone has a murderous intention towards Lu Chen, even if the other party hides the murderous intention very well.
But Lu Chen could still see it through the 'Nine Qi' on his body.
And relying on this ability, Lu Chen can obtain many auras that ordinary people cannot obtain.
For example, what Lu Chen saw on the old man at this time was the symbol of friendly 'goodwill'.
Although there is no shortage of crazy people in this world who show 'goodwill' to the other party while killing the other party.
But Lu Chen still said that if the other party wanted to attack him and others.
Before in the bamboo forest, the other party could have taken action.
There is no need to wait until now.
After observing Lu Chen for a while, the old man seemed to have discovered something from him.
Then he smiled and said: "Logically speaking, someone like you who has already carried the inheritance, I should not let you in, but who makes you a kid who suits my appetite."
"Okay, I won't waste time with you. I think you should have guessed my identity, right?"
Lu Chen said respectfully: "Lu Chen, a disciple of Qingyun Sect, pays homage to Gu Yue Shangxian."
Seeing this, the others around him also saluted.
The old man waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. I am essentially just a remnant of my original body left here. Just treat me as an ordinary old man."
"You can call me Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan without rules."
After that, the old man finally said what he wanted Lu Chen and others to do.
"What I want you to do is very simple, that is, you need to find my lost 'wine worm' within three months and bring it back."
"Whoever can bring back my wine worm can directly enter the second floor of this Juxian Bell, and I can also pass on a longevity fairy method to him as a reward."
"Of course, if you don't want these, you can also exchange them for an equivalent reward."
"Over the years, I still can't collect a lot of good things in my hands, I guarantee that you will be satisfied."
When Gu Yue Fang Yuan said this, his eyes were always looking at Lu Chen.
The meaning is self-evident.
Because he knew that even if Lu Chen finally found the moonlight Gu worm, he would not want his inheritance.
But others were not like this.
Most people were excited after hearing the reward for completing the task.
But after the excitement, their expressions gradually became serious.
Because there was only one moonlight poisonous insect, but there were more than 20 people present.
If those who left early were counted, then they would have more than 50 people competing for one moonlight poisonous insect.
That's right, although some people left early in the bamboo forest before.
But this does not mean that they will not participate in this competition.
If they guessed correctly, Gu Yue Fangyuan should not only give them requirements.
He should also make requirements for other cultivators who participated in this True Immortal Trial.
If only more than 50 of them competed for this moonlight poisonous insect, it would be fine.
What if other cultivators who were not in this bamboo forest also received this task.
They would have hundreds of people competing for a wine worm.
The fierceness of this competition is simply beyond words.
After all, except for Lu Chen, who is currently the only one in the league.
The second-tier cultivators are also not comparable to ordinary cultivators.
Buddha Juechen of Xiao Leiyin Temple, quasi-celestial Xing Li of Wushen Mountain, saint Shangguan Yunmeng of Yuxu Mountain, Yi Hanqing of Qingyun Sect, and King Wumiao.
None of these guys are simple.
Thinking of this, a cultivator couldn't help but ask Gu Yue Fangyuan: "Fangyuan Immortal, is there only one wine worm?"
Hearing this, Gu Yue Fangyuan showed a joking expression: "Did I say there is only one wine worm?"
"In addition, I want to remind you that not all insects... can be called wine worms."
Just when everyone wanted to get more information, a cloud of fog appeared around the hut.
The white fog covered the whole body, and the visibility was less than half a meter.
When the fog dissipated, not only Gu Yue Fangyuan in front of everyone disappeared.
Even the thatched hut in front of everyone disappeared.
Looking at the empty bamboo forest.
If everyone didn't remember what happened just now, they would even doubt whether they had just experienced a dream.
At the same time when Gu Yue Fang Yuan disappeared.
A special task panel appeared in front of Lu Chen.
[Special task: Special ‘Wine Bug’ in the Ordinary Gu Yue Cave (Juxian Bell)]
[Task initiator: Gu Yue Zhenxian]
[Task reward: Immortal Immortality*1, direct access to the second floor of Gu Yue Cave (Juxian Bell), 500,000 experience points]
[Note: The task reward depends on the quality of the wine bug]
Lu Chen looked at the task panel that suddenly appeared in front of him.
He immediately understood the specific content of this task.
The so-called wine bug should not refer to a single kind of Gu bug, but a class of Gu bugs.
Otherwise, there would be no mention of the quality of the wine bug in the task prompt.
In addition, Lu Chen also obtained another piece of information from this task panel.
That is the ‘Gu Yue Zhenxian’ that everyone has always thought of, or the real name should be ‘Gu Yue Zhenxian’.
His name is not Gu Yue Fang Yuan, but Gu Yue Fang Yuan.
In fact, there are not many records of Gu Yue Zhenxian in the world of cultivation.
All we know is that the other party suddenly appeared at a certain time period.
And the other party obviously has a wide range of friends in the world of immortal cultivation, and many famous immortals are his friends.
But for some reason, there is not much information about Gu Yue Zhenxian.
This is either because Gu Yue Zhenxian is a low-key person.
Or the other party deliberately did it.
Lu Chen personally prefers the latter.
After all, a person who can leave a true immortal legacy in the mortal world should be a person who cares about the world.
Logically speaking, he should leave traces in many legends and allusions.
However, these are just Lu Chen's guesses, and he can't jump to conclusions.
Everything will be said after he passes this true immortal trial.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, what do you think we should do now?"
Shangguan Yunmeng looked at Lu Chen and asked curiously.
Because they knew that there was more than one wine worm, everyone was no longer anxious.
After all, only the first person who brought the wine worm to Gu Yue Zhenxian can get the reward.
And this first place is not something that everyone can be.
Especially when they were with Lu Chen, who was recognized as the strongest cultivator in the foundation-building period.
Facing everyone's questions, Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "No hurry, let's investigate the surroundings first."
"I always feel that this place... is not simple."
Seeing Lu Chen so cautious, although everyone had different thoughts, they did not object in the end.
It was because Lu Chen was the strongest.
At the same time, Lu Chen and others appeared at the outskirts of the bamboo forest at the beginning.
I saw that the three cultivators who did not choose to follow Lu Chen at the beginning were about to leave the bamboo forest.
And just now, the words of Gu Yue Zhenxian appeared in their minds.
The meaning conveyed was also very simple, that is, let them find a way to find the 'wine bug' and bring it to Gu Yue Zhenxian.
After hearing the content of the task, Sui Shaobao, a disciple of Donghai Sect, one of the ten major sects in Zhongzhou, said with a look of relief: "Fortunately, we did not choose to act with Lu Chen from Qingyun Sect."
"Otherwise, even if we found the wineworm, it would most likely not fall into our hands in the end."
The two disciples of Donghai Sect beside him nodded and said: "Brother, what you said is very true. This True Immortal Trial is a great opportunity for us to change our fate."
"If you still look back and forth at this point, it is undoubtedly giving this opportunity to others in vain."
"Besides, this True Immortal Trial should not be too dangerous. After all, beings like Gu Yue True Immortal should not design those inheritance trials that are too dangerous."
"If the three of us join forces, even if we cannot defeat Lu Chen, we can still fight against other sects' geniuses."
"Therefore, it is the best choice for the three of us to leave the main group and act together."
Hearing the words of his fellow disciples, Sui Shaobao smiled immediately.
"You're right. If the three of us join forces and don't provoke monsters like Lu Chen and Xing Li, there should be few beings that can threaten us in this True Immortal Trial."
"After all, it's just a trial."
After saying that, Sui Shaobao looked up into the distance.
Not far away from the bamboo forest, there was a human town.
Looking at this town, the three of them immediately prepared to walk into the town to find out some information about the 'wine bug'.
And these three people are not fools.
Although they didn't know what the situation was like in the town during the True Immortal Trial, they followed the principle of being careful and never making a big mistake.
They all chose to disguise themselves before entering the town.
And the first place they went to was the inn in the town.
After all, only places like inns, where there is a lot of movement of people, are the most well-informed.
Not long after, the three of them arrived outside the town.
The town is called...Yuzhu Town.
What makes Sui Shaobao and the others feel strange is that they have obviously changed their clothes to be similar to those around them, and their behavior is not too outstanding.
But as soon as they entered the town, they felt that something was spying on them secretly.
Although they tried several times to find the person spying on them.
But they never found it.
In the end, they had no choice but to give up and come to an inn in Yuzhu Town.
"To be objective, are you three staying in a hotel or having a drink?"
Sui Shaobao said in a calm voice: "Eat wine."
"Okay!"
The waiter shouted enthusiastically, and then led the three of them to an empty table on the third floor.
But for some reason, the originally noisy inn became quiet for a moment after seeing the three people.
They even noticed that some people showed excited expressions after seeing them appear.
This gave Sui Shaobao an inexplicable premonition.
But now they have been dazzled by the 'true immortal inheritance'.
All I can think about is how to be the first to find the wine bug.
So much so that even if they discovered something was wrong, they did not choose to leave.
After all, in their perception, they didn't even find anyone with cultivation level in this inn, let alone the foundation building period.
Just a bunch of mortals, let them just watch.
It has no impact on them at all.
After sitting down on the third floor, the three casually ordered some home-cooked dishes, then took out a gold ingot and placed it in front of the waiter.
"Have you ever heard of the wine bug?"
The waiter's eyes suddenly lit up when he looked at the gold in front of him.
Then he put away the gold and whispered: "Are you asking objectively about the kind of 'gu worm' that can make wine?"
Sui Shaobao and the other three looked at each other and told them directly that the Gu worm mentioned by the waiter was what they were looking for.
So without any hesitation, Sui Shaobao took out another ingot of gold and said, "Tell me where to find the Gu worm, and this ingot of gold will be yours."
Without any hesitation, the waiter said: "In our Yuzhu Town, there are only two families capable of brewing 'spiritual wine', namely the Luo family in the east of the city and the Chen family in the west of the city."
"If the three of you want to find wine bugs, then you are absolutely right to go find them."
"Do you guys have anything else to ask?"
Sui Shaobao thought for a moment and said, "Do the Luo family and Chen family you mentioned have any special abilities?"
The waiter seemed to have guessed that Sui Shaobao would ask this question, and replied with a smile: "Both of them are families canonized by the imperial court, so naturally they have some abilities."
"However, the three of them are not ordinary people at first glance. I think if you come to inquire, you should have a chance to get some wine bugs from them."
Hearing this, Sui Shaobao and the others suppressed their inner excitement and said calmly: "Okay, you can go down first."
"Okay, you guys have a good rest. We will bring your orders in a moment."
After the waiter left, Sui Shaobao immediately posted a talisman directly under the table in front of him.
Under the effect of 'sound insulation', Sui Shaobao ensured that other guests nearby could not hear their voices.
After doing all this, although Sui Shaobao tried his best to restrain himself, he still lowered his voice and said in a slightly excited tone: "Junior Brother Huang, Junior Brother Dong, did you hear what he said? You two think we are directly visiting, Or sneak in at night?"
Huang Haiming replied: "It's better to investigate further. I always feel that something is not right in Yuzhu Town, and I have a bad premonition."
Dong Jieshou, who was on the side, glanced at him with disdain and said sarcastically: "A few mere mortals scared you, but you are still a disciple of our Donghai Sect."
"If you ask me, we should hurry up now, find the wine bug as soon as possible and send it to Immortal Gu Yue."
"After all, we are not the only ones looking for this wine bug. There must be others who have come into contact with this information just like us."
"If we can't get ahead of them, this huge opportunity will be given away."
"Let's go directly to the door, Senior Brother Sui."
"With your perfect cultivation in the Foundation Establishment Stage, coupled with the support of the Spear Intent to Enter the Dao, even if we encounter a Golden Core Stage cultivator, we can still run away if we can't defeat him."
"I don't believe that the Luo family and the Chen family are so capable that they can keep you and me here."
"Didn't you listen to what the waiter said just now? The Luo family and the Chen family are just ordinary families that were canonized by the imperial court."
"How many real monk families are willing to obey the mortal dynasty?"
"If I guess correctly, they are probably just some martial arts families similar to those in the mortal world of Zhongzhou."
"It's okay for those martial arts families to bully mortals, but when it comes to us, they are no different than ants."
"As long as they are willing to hand over the wine bugs, if not, then find a reason to kill them."
"They are just some mortals in the True Immortal Trial. What can they do to us?"
"Besides, don't forget, Senior Brother, this place is not far from the bamboo forest. If we really encounter an existence that we cannot resist, we can just run to the bamboo forest and seek help from other cultivators."
"Go ahead, Senior Brother. If we are one step slower, others will be one step faster. This is the inheritance of the True Immortal."
"Do you want to watch it fall into the hands of others?"
Hearing this, Sui Shaobao seemed to have made up his mind.
He immediately stood up and said resolutely: "Okay, then we will go to the Luo family to ask."
"If they really have a wine bug, then we won't take it for nothing. At most, we can exchange some treasures in the storage bag with them."
Hearing this, Dong Jieshou next to him immediately became excited.
"That's it. There's no time to lose. Senior brother, let's not inquire about any news. Let's act directly."
"I didn't meet a single cultivator along the way. I think this is just an ordinary town in the mortal world. There's no danger."
"Okay."
Although Huang Haiming, one of the three, felt that the two's decision was too rash.
But his influence was not important, so he had to choose to listen to the two's decision.
After finding out the location of the Luo family, the three immediately walked towards the Luo family.
What the two didn't notice was that the waiter just stood by the table they had just left, with a mysterious smile on his face.
"Since ancient times, those with poor fates have always been ambitious..."
As he spoke, the waiter's figure gradually became illusory.
After a while, he turned into the old man of Gu Yue Zhenxian.
The other diners around seemed to be unable to see it at all.
As Gu Yue Zhenxian walked out of the inn, he recited an ancient poem: "I knew that the world was difficult at an early age, but I still wanted to fly wildly in the world. One day, I will point my sword to the clouds, refine people, refine Gu... and refine the sky."
As for the direction that Gu Yue Zhenxian was going, it was the direction of the Luo family in the Jade Clan Town.
At the same time, somewhere in the Jade Clan Forest.
"Daoyou Lu, why have you been looking at the sky since just now? Is there something strange in the sky?"
Shangguan Yunmeng looked at Lu Chen, who had been meditating and looking at the sky since Gu Yue Zhenxian left, with a very strange expression.
And the one who didn't understand what Lu Chen was doing was also the King of Meow not far away.
You know, after Lu Chen asked everyone to go around and find out a little, he sat alone in an open space in the bamboo forest, staring at the sky above his head, and has been doing it until now.
Facing Shangguan Yunmeng's words, Lu Chen said in an inexplicable tone: "Shangguan Daoyou, do you think this Juxian Bell... is really a bell?"
"Or do you think this 'bell' is the same as the 'bell' we know?"
"Ah?!"
Shangguan Yunmeng's face was confused, and her forehead was full of question marks.
Although she was unwilling to admit it, Shangguan Yunmeng always felt that Lu Chen had a deep misunderstanding of her!
Does she look like a very smart person?
Otherwise, why did Lu Chen like to say some confusing words to her again and again.
She understood every word of these words, but when they were combined together, she couldn't understand a single word!
What do you mean this Juxian Bell is really a bell?
It's called Juxian Bell, what else can it be if not a bell?
Although she didn't understand what Lu Chen was saying, Shangguan Yunmeng didn't show it at this time.
Because she didn't want Lu Chen to think that she was a fool who couldn't even understand what he was saying.
So Shangguan Yunmeng said with a straight face: "Daoyou Lu is right."
The best way to pretend to be smart is to just believe and not question.
Shangguan Yunmeng has tried this trick many times and it works very well!
Because questioning requires explanation, but believing does not!
And Lu Chen did not seem to think of getting an answer from Shangguan Yunmeng.
Or rather, he just wanted to find someone to talk to.
Lu Chen looked at the sky above his head and suddenly sighed: "Gathering Immortal Bell, Gathering Immortal Bell, if you think about it from another angle, this Gathering Immortal Bell...why can't it be a Gu Bell?"
"It attracted us here for the purpose of selecting the strongest one among them like refining Gu."
"From ancient times to the present, no Gu worm in the Gu Bell can survive alone."
"Perhaps this True Immortal Trial is a hundred times more dangerous than we imagined..."
After saying that, Lu Chen stood up directly.
"Let's go, several Taoist friends have already returned, and I think they also brought the news I want."
"I hope my idea is wrong, otherwise it will not be so easy to get out of this True Immortal Trial from the moment we really step into it."
Although Shangguan Yunmeng didn't understand what Lu Chen was saying, she still nodded seriously.
"What Taoist Lu said is right."
The other side, the King of Meow looked at the two people, one really smart and the other fake smart, and shook his head speechlessly.
Perhaps only these two people can get along harmoniously.
At least the King of Meow hates the Riddler the most, the Riddler get out!
