Gu Xuan was taking a bath when Xiao Zi suddenly came in and reported: "Young Master, the envoy of Jing Zhang is here again and is waiting in the living room. I have already served you with spiritual tea."

After pondering for a while, Gu Xuan whispered: "Quickly invite the Jingzhang envoy to the study and extinguish the lights in the living room."

"Yes." Xiaoji responded respectfully and walked away.

Gu Xuan quickly stood up and used the steam method to dry up all the soup stains on his body. He then dressed and tied his hair and came to the study.

The study door was ajar, Gu Xuan glanced through the crack in the door and saw Jing Xiu sitting inside, drinking tea, without glancing around.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Jing Xiu put down the tea cup, looked back, and saw Xuan pushing the door open and coming in. He stood up and said, "Master Shu's work is so refreshing. It's not in vain to come here again."

After closing the door of the ancient porch, he sat opposite the visitor and said: "Jingzhang's visit late at night must have a purpose. I have nothing to do. I am here to listen attentively."

Jing Xiu smiled: "To be honest, it was precisely because of Master Shu that I entered Ximen Villa in the first place. It has been exactly two years since then."

Gu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "We have never met each other before. This is an anecdote, but I don't know where to start?"

Jing Xiu didn't answer but asked: "Master Shu, does he know Xu Jin?"

Even though Gu Xuan had a calm mind, when he suddenly heard these words, his eyes flashed: "I've heard a little bit."

Jing Xiu's face was full of longing: "I have no spiritual roots in my lower body, but my aptitude is acceptable. Ever since I learned about Xu Jin, I have been obsessed with it. If I can't achieve the highest level of martial arts in this life, it will be the biggest regret."

Gu Xuan was not sure about the other party's truth, so he didn't answer.

Jing Xiu continued: "I am a disciple of the outer sect of Dingyang Sect. I advanced to the late stage of the true power realm at the age of seventeen. I accidentally read a biography at the age of twenty-eight. There is an article in it called "The Biography of Qing Xuzi", which briefly mentions Xu.

strength."

Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that Xu Jin is related to Qing Xuzi?"

"The biography is unclear, and the real name of Qingxuzi is unknown. This man has astonishing talents, no spiritual roots, and peerless qualifications. He made great contributions to the Great Xi Dynasty in his early years. He was personally summoned by Emperor Xi to reward him and gave him the name Qingxuzi."

Jing Xiu paused for a moment, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"According to the biographies, Qing Xuzi traveled to Nanyang in his middle age, and returned to the Kingdom of Great Xi in his later years, creating Xu Jin that shocked the past and the present. At the end of his twilight, at the time of the Dao Dao Ceremony, he received the permission of Emperor Xi to enter the Eternal Blessed Land, and suddenly

Long gone."

Gu Xuan opened his mouth slightly when he heard this, feeling incredible: "So, the entire Qianqiu Blessed Land is the tomb of Qing Xuzi."

Jing Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed dumbly: "There seems to be nothing wrong with this statement. Master Shu knows that there is a lake in Qianqiu Blessed Land, named Qingxu Lake."

"To be honest, I haven't seen the map of the Blessed Land of Qianqiu yet." Gu Xuan said thoughtfully, "According to the wishes of the Master of the Scenery, Qing Xuzi chose the name of Qingxu Lake and will he enter the Blessed Land of Qianqiu to die in his old age?"

Jing Xiu smiled knowingly: "That's why I participated in the Dao Dao Ceremony twenty years ago."

Gu Xuan's eyes brightened slightly, and his interest greatly increased: "What was the result?"

Jing Xiu sighed softly: "Back then, I was obsessed with Xu Jin. As soon as I entered Qianqiu Blessed Land, I went straight to Qingxu Lake. I found nothing by the lake. I wanted to dive into the lake to explore, but there were a hundred clawed monsters in the lake, at least third-grade low-level cultivators.

After three days of hard work, I finally had nothing to do, so I came back with regrets."

Gu Xuan thought: "I think the reason why Lai Jing Zhang Shi joined Ximen Villa is to participate in the Taoist Ceremony."

Jing Xiu nodded: "The Dingyang Sect clearly stipulates that outer disciples can only participate in the Dao Dao Ceremony once. I will leave the Dao Sect. I have traveled all over Xi Country in ten years and traveled to Nanyang for several years. I have never been able to find Xu.

Jin, seeing twenty

As the year approaches, I will return to Xi Kingdom."

Gu Xuan asked: "What does Jingzhang's statement mean to me?"

Jing Xiu explained: "Young Master Shu has unparalleled qualifications and amazing talents. His battle with Master Nangong Shang has long been rumored in the martial arts world. I think I have a good fighting ability, but I struggled with the Hundred Claw Demon back then but failed. This time I need strong helpers."

, Master Shu is the perfect choice."

Gu Xuan finally understood Jing Xiu's intention. It turned out that the other party did not know that he had the secret book of Xu Jin.

Jing Xiu continued: "Since Qing Xuzi created Xu Jin, there is no reason why he should not leave a legacy. I have checked the classics and found that the Hundred Claw Demon has a peculiar habit. It likes to devour treasures and hide them in its abdominal pouch."

Wang Mang suddenly said: "The Hundred Claw Demon does have this hobby."

Gu Xuan weighed the pros and cons and decided not to reveal the secret book of Xu Jin for the time being.

Seeing that Gu Xuan remained silent, Jing Xiu said sternly: "The killing of the Hundred Claw Demon can be carried out at night, and it will not delay Master Shu and others to collect herbs. If Master Shu refuses, I will have no choice but to join forces with other herb collectors. I believe that the four of us can do it together."

Even with the power, it can kill the hundred-clawed demon.”

Gu Xuan chuckled: "Are you sure that this young master will not steal Xu Jin, so you proposed to join forces?"

Jing Xiu said bluntly: "There are records in the biographies that weak strength is not conducive to advancing to the Gangli realm. As long as I have weak strength, the body of the hundred-clawed demon and the other treasures in the body can be returned to Young Master Shu."

Gu Xuan finally nodded: "We can join forces. On the first day of the grand ceremony, I and others will work together to collect herbs, and we will go to Qingxu Lake at noon the next day."

Jing Xiu was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Master Shu, this matter is settled."

…

Every time he goes into retreat, Gu Xuan has a routine of reviewing recent experiences and making sure nothing has been missed before practicing with peace of mind.

Gu Xuan sat cross-legged on the futon in the training room and communicated with Wang Mang.

"Senior asked me to lie about being pregnant that day and never thought that this elixir would actually exist. Unfortunately, I can't get it now, otherwise I would be able to practice my telepathy power."

"The Pregnancy Pill is actually a magic elixir. It is hard to find. It is even rarer than the Spirit Summoning Pill. In the entire world, perhaps only Master Nianhua has this pill."

Wang Mang paused slightly.

"Don't have high expectations. Master Nianhua is extremely shrewd and never suffers losses. If you don't come up with the elixir of sufficient value, you will never get this elixir."

Gu Xuan changed the subject: "I was a little worried when I went to Cuishan today to challenge, but nothing happened. It seems that the direct descendants of Ximen didn't know that Wang Ling and others were killed."

Wang Mang said: "Even if the direct descendants of Ximen know it, you don't need to worry. The mark in the body of the Ximen family's spirit crane cannot be located at all."

Gu Xuan didn't say anything anymore, and instead swallowed the only high-grade power-building pill and began to practice meditation.

The power of a top-grade power-nourishing pill is equivalent to ten mid-grade power-nourishing pills, and it takes ten days to be completely refined.

Just as Wang Mang said in the past, Gu Xuan's true power has been raised to the extreme.

There are still twenty days before the grand ceremony of hearing the Tao. Gu Xuan continues to circulate his true power and carry out the great circulation in the body.

Until late one night, Wang Mang suddenly said: "Xiao Qing has woken up and successfully advanced to the third level."

Gu Xuan's heart was surging, and he hurriedly left the seclusion. Taking advantage of the vast darkness of night, his figure teleported away from Ximen Villa.

…

It was early spring, and the cold snow had just melted. On a bare tree crown somewhere, Gu Xuan excitedly took out his fusheng bag.

With true power, the spirit crane Xiaoqing spread its wings and flew out. After circling in the air, it hovered in front of Gu Xuan and let out a clear cry.

Not only is this crane not as powerful as it used to be, but its size is actually half smaller, which surprised Gu Xuan.

already.

Gu Xuanteng jumped on the back of the spiritual crane and stroked the crane's head repeatedly: "Xiaoqing, congratulations on your successful advancement."

The spirit crane screamed excitedly, flapped its wings, and flew out into the air at a speed comparable to the power of its bloodline in the past.

Gu Xuan was very interested: "Xiao Qing has been promoted to the third rank for the first time. Please show her what she is capable of."

Upon hearing this, Linghe's body surface flashed with blood, and his body suddenly grew larger, almost the same size as before he advanced.

There was another flash of blood on the surface of the body, and the flying speed suddenly increased, at least half as fast. Gu Xuan was secretly happy.

Before Gu Xuan could say anything, the spirit crane stopped in the air, flapped its wings, and streaks of feather-like blood light shot out.

Compared to the old Xuemang, it is not only larger in shape, but also has a faster rate of fire, and its color has also become dark red.

Wang Mang commented in due course: "Xiao Qing is indeed extraordinary, and the power of the blood light now is definitely stronger than the gang light."

The spirit crane flapped its wings again, and the blood on its body flashed, suddenly forming a dark red cocoon of light that circled its body and rotated rapidly.

Gu Xuan sat safely on the crane's back and was not harmed, but he could feel the great pressure of the light cocoon.

Wang Mang commented again: "The shadow of the blood bird is replaced by a light cocoon. The defense is not reduced and the bloodline can be hidden."

As the spirit crane flapped its wings, the dark red cocoon of light flashed away.

Gu Xuan said with satisfaction: "The Dao Dao Ceremony is coming soon, and you and I will fight side by side in the blessed land of Qianqiu, killing all directions."

The spirit crane roared loudly, its momentum rose again, and its fighting spirit was high.

Suddenly, long chirping sounds came one after another in the distance.

Gu Xuan turned his head and saw that the sky in the distance gradually revealed the white color of fish belly, and three spiritual cranes were flying side by side.

"Haha, an old friend is coming to visit, Xiaoqing, please go to the rock and wait."

There was a big rock on the top of the mountain, and Xiaoqing immediately landed on the rock.

Three spiritual cranes sped up and flew towards them. The Dao Miao on the cranes' backs were none other than Di Hong, He Wei and Jiang Feng.

When the three cranes flew close, Xiaoqing raised her head and gave a clear cry.

Di Hong waved his hands repeatedly and said in surprise: "We haven't seen each other for a few months, and Xiaoqing has indeed advanced."

"Xiao Qing wakes up in time, and she will have an extra helper during the grand ceremony."

The three spirit cranes stopped in the air, but were quite afraid of Xiaoqing. Gu Xuan quickly called them into the fusheng bag.

Di Hong jumped onto the rock and stared at Gu Xuan with her beautiful eyes: "Look at your momentum, have you developed your mind power?"

"certainly."

Gu Xuan smiled softly, and Wang Mang cooperated well. He used his telekinesis power at the right time and moved it towards Di Hong.

He Wei looked surprised: "With Brother Shu's spiritual root potential, he can actually develop telekinesis so quickly?"

Di Hong explained on his behalf: "Oh, Senior Brother didn't know something. Ximen took a Pregnancy Pill."

"So that's it." He Wei suddenly realized that he couldn't help but use his telekinesis power and carefully observed Gu Xuan, "Brother Shu not only developed his telekinesis power, but his real power also increased a lot."

Gu Xuan's expression became serious: "I hope that the two brothers will keep the matter of the Pregnancy Pill secret. This pill is too rare and I don't want to cause any trouble."

Jiang Feng quickly expressed his position: "What Brother Shu said is true, please don't worry, I have always been tight-lipped."

He Wei withdrew his telekinesis and sighed in admiration: "He is powerful in battle and good at hiding his clumsiness. Brother Shu is amazing."

Gu Xuan smiled and said: "Brother He is making false praises and hiding his clumsiness. He cannot settle down and live in peace at all."
