Longevity starts with learning

"This Gu recipe was given by my senior brother in the past..."

In the True Transmission Order, the silent sound transmission imprint finally came across a long distance and a sound transmission was transmitted.

Yan Ming's voice slowly sounded, Chu Mu listened for a moment, and then slowly put down the True Transmission Order.

Chu Mu pursed his lips, and Yan Ming's words seemed to still echo in his ears.

The sound transmission reply was very brief, and Yan Ming didn't know much about this Pulling Silk Gu recipe.

According to him, this Pulling Silk Gu recipe was obtained by him when he explored an ancient Gu cultivation cave.

And this ancient Gu cultivation cave was an opportunity presented by the Qiuniu Business, or the predecessor of the Qiuniu Business, a Jindan family affiliated with the Langya Wang family, namely the Qiuniu Jing family, when he was guarding the southwest.

Although it is called a contribution, it is obvious that it is not difficult to see the reason.

After all, when the nest is overturned, no egg is left intact. The battle in the southwest had already destroyed the Wang family of Langya. The Jindan family affiliated with the Wang family of Langya was almost doomed to be destroyed.

It is obvious that the Qiuniu Jing family had somehow connected with Yan Ming and then offered the opportunity of the ancient Gu Xiu cave.

Although it was a situation of great despair in the southwest cultivation world, it was not difficult for Yan Ming, the true disciple of the Changsheng Sect, to save the Jing family.

According to Yan Ming, after he got the news of the ancient Gu Xiu cave, he explored the cave with Jing Yu Zhenren of the Jing family.

The opportunity was also divided in half.

And this Pulling Silk Gu recipe is part of the ancient Gu Xiu inheritance.

He is not a Gu cultivator, and he is just curious about the mystery of the Pulling Silk Gu, so he took action to record a copy.

In the cave of the ancient Gu cultivator, he only took some of the treasures that were useful to him. He did not take the rest of the inheritance of Gu cultivators, whether it was treasures or cultivation inheritance, and left them to the Jingyu Zhenren who accompanied him in the exploration.

Therefore, Yan Ming suggested that if he wanted to know more about this Gu recipe, he should go to find Jingyu Zhenren.

The voice transmission was undoubtedly very clear, even the location of the ancient Gu cultivator cave was clearly described.

"Qiuniu Trading Company... Jingyu Zhenren..."

Chu Mu replied to the voice transmission and put away the voice transmission order, also thinking about something.

At this Gu Dao Conference, he met the Gu Dao cultivators in the southwest under the guidance of Li Jie. It seems that he did not meet Jingyu Zhenren from Qiuniu Trading Company, right?

Chu Mu took out the voice transmission order. During the ten days of the Gu Dao Conference, he left a voice transmission mark on all the Gu Dao cultivators he met, waiting for the follow-up Gu recipe news.

Among them, there was no Jingyu Zhenren from Qiuniu Trading Company, but there was Jinghua Zhenren from Qiuniu Trading Company, who was the cousin of Jingyu Zhenren.

He had previously identified the recipe for the silk-pulling Gu, and had talked with this person for several hours.

So... Jingyu Zhenren... had not come to the Gu Dao Conference?

Chu Mu realized it later and was a little confused. He sent a voice transmission and stood up from the Sutra Library. He took a step out, and his figure flashed. The next moment, he disappeared without a trace in the Sutra Library.

The light of escape flew across the sky, and in just a few breaths, he left the garrison and landed in front of a magnificent pavilion in the north of the city. The pavilion was called Xianyunju. If we talk about its nature, it can barely be regarded as an inn.

However, this Xianyunju is quite special. Whether it is the supply of spiritual energy, the area of ​​the pavilion, or the internal environment, it can be said to be the best among the inns and caves in Caiyun City.

In addition, the unclear interest relationship between Xianyunju and the garrison, so high-level cultivators coming and going from Caiyun City often choose to stop here for a while.

This Gu Dao Conference, Xianyunju is the place designated by the garrison for high-level cultivators attending the Gu Dao Conference.

All the high-level Gu Dao cultivators who attended the conference, without exception, all live here.

His interactions in the past ten days of the Gu Dao Conference were basically in Xianyunju, and now he feels quite familiar with it when he steps into it again.

"Senior Chu, please."

As soon as he entered Xianyunju, a servant came to greet him quickly.

Under his guidance, Chu Mu sat down on the second floor of Xianyunju, a place specially designed for high-level cultivators to rest, naturally it is extremely private and secluded.

The second floor of the huge pavilion is separated into large rooms, each of which is surrounded by formations and prohibitions, isolating the inside and the outside.

The layout was extremely elegant, with incense burners curling and refreshing green fragrance. There were several maids in gauze, and fruits, tea and wine were all available.

Chu Mu sat down in it. At this moment, he obviously had no mood to enjoy it. He raised his hand to signal and arranged for the girl who was waiting on the side to withdraw. A cup of spiritual tea curled up and waited patiently.

Just now, he had sent a message to invite him. According to what Master Jinghua said, he was now handling trivial matters of the Qiuniu Merchants outside the city, and it would take some time to rush back and come to the appointment.

Chu Mu did not waste this gap time. While closing his eyes and regulating his breath, a trace of spiritual consciousness flowed, and slowly sorted out the wounds of his soul.

But this kind of concentration did not last too long. In less than a quarter of an hour, he was awakened by the true transmission order hanging on his waist.

Chu Mu raised his hand and wiped it. The true transmission order hung in his palm. On the token, a sound transmission mark flashed, which was the sound transmission from Yu Zecheng.

As his spiritual consciousness touched him, the sound transmission also sounded in Chu Mu's ears.

Just a few words made Chu Mu, who was originally calm and composed, suddenly serious.

He took out the sound transmission order and sent a sound transmission to the appointment master Jinghua. As his sleeves surged, a great power burst out, and in an instant, he disappeared in the Xianyun Residence.

The red escape light passed through the sky in a dignified manner, and in the blink of an eye, it returned to the garrison and descended from the sky to the lobby of the government office.

At this moment, outside the garrison, Yu Zecheng had obviously been waiting for a while.

Seeing Chu Mu appear, he also hurried to greet him.

"True disciple, the ancestor suddenly came and summoned all the disciples of our sect in Caiyun City."

"When the ancestor came here before, you also went to see the true disciple. I was not sure whether you were also among the disciples, so I made a decision on my own..."

"It doesn't matter. The ancestor summoned your disciples, and there must be something important. Chu is the true disciple of our sect. Since I am in Caiyun City, I naturally have no choice but to do it."

Although Chu Mu's words were a bit against his will, they were also upright and showed great righteousness. No one who heard them could find any fault.

Then, the two of them stepped into the lobby of the government office one after another.

At this moment, all the direct disciples of Changsheng Sect in Caiyun County gathered in the hall of the government office.

There are eight direct disciples in total, and without exception, they are all Jindan cultivation.

However, the first seat of the government office is still vacant. The old ancestor obviously did not wait here.

Seeing Chu Mu walk in, the direct disciples of Changsheng in the hall bowed one after another.

"Meet the true disciple!"

"No need to be polite, fellow disciples."

Chu Mu nodded slightly, and he was used to such red tape.

In Changsheng Sect, although cultivation is the key factor in determining status, the existence of class is also the key factor in determining status.

Outer sect, inner sect, direct disciple, true disciple...

The gap between each level is also insurmountable.

Although this class leap is largely based on cultivation, it is obvious that there are not a few exceptions at the beginning.

Just like the little junior sister of the Guzhen lineage, who only has the cultivation of Qi training and has just entered the immortal path, she was accepted as a direct disciple.

This meant that within the Changsheng Sect, even if one had reached the Golden Core Perfection, there was not much difference in status from the Junior Sister.

It was just that the senior brother and the junior sister were of the same generation, not an insurmountable gap in cultivation.

Similarly, he was a true disciple, and even within the Changsheng Sect, there were not a few direct disciples who had reached the Golden Core Great Perfection. When they saw him, they also had to pay respect and call him Senior Brother.

Although it did not conform to the rule that the strong were respected, it was undoubtedly reasonable.

After all, if there were exceptions, it meant that the existence of exceptions was not comparable to that of ordinary disciples.

Whether it was the Junior Sister of the Guzhen lineage or Lie Yan, who had been admitted to the inner sect as an exception since the mountain worship, they were all like this.

This world was not fair to begin with.

This was true for cultivation, and it was also true for talent.

Chu Mu sat on the left side of the first seat in the government office. According to the Changsheng convention, the left was respected, and the direct disciples standing in the hall sat down one after another.

At this time, the little noise in the hall returned to silence with the arrival of Chu Mu.

Everyone sat down and was silent, waiting for the arrival of the Yuanying ancestor.

Chu Mu also closed his eyes to rest, but subconsciously recalled the news about the Yuanying ancestor in his heart.

There are six Yuanying Taishang in the Tianji lineage.

And that disaster in the outer sea directly buried two Yuanying Taishang in the Tianji lineage. There is still no news and their whereabouts are still unknown.

Of the remaining four Yuanying Taishang, two are stationed in the outer sea Tiangong ruins camp, one is stationed in the Changsheng Sect, and the last one was originally stationed at the Yunlan front.

Later, because the situation eased, he returned to the Changsheng Sect and secluded himself for many years.

And the one who came to Caiyun City this time was the Yuanying Taishang who guarded the Yunlan front that year, a master of formations in the middle stage of the Yuanying!

His name is unknown, but his Taoist name is Xuancheng.

Tianji lineage... Ancestor Xuancheng.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and at this moment, as if he had noticed something, Chu Mu opened his eyes and focused his gaze on the first seat in the hall.

At the same time, the disciples who were sitting in the hall also turned their eyes one after another.

On an ordinary wooden chair, a white long gown slowly condensed and appeared.

Although he was called the ancestor, this Ancestor Xuancheng did not look old.

He was wearing a white long gown, with a tall figure, sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and he actually looked quite fierce.

"Disciple greets the ancestor!"

The disciples stood up one after another, bowed and worshiped, and shouted loudly.

"No need to be polite."

Ancestor Xuancheng waved his sleeves, and the disciples who had just worshipped stood up uncontrollably and sat down in their seats uncontrollably.

Seeing this, everyone was obviously a little more cautious, and their breathing seemed to slow down a little.

"You are all core disciples of our sect, so I won't waste my words."

"I came to Caiyun for only one thing, which is to capture Wang Xun, the third ancestor of the Wang family, who fled and disappeared in the battle of Langya."

"As far as I know, Wang Xun's grandson Wang Yu has caused a lot of trouble in the southwest in recent years..."

At this point, the already dull atmosphere in the hall seemed to solidify a little.

After all, all the disciples present were involved in everything that happened in Caiyun County.

"You have been ordered by the sect to guard Caiyun for many years, but you let a mere third-level Gu cultivator plunder for many years, and you have killed him many times, and you even let him escape..."

"The disciple is guilty, please punish me, ancestor!"

The disciples dared not remain silent anymore, and they stood up one after another, bowed their heads and worshiped, not daring to breathe.

Such a scene made Chu Mu, who was calm and composed, suddenly startled.

Fortunately, this surprise did not last long. With the words of Xuan Cheng, the atmosphere eased a little.

"Okay, I don't care whether you are guilty or not. After this matter is over, you can go to the Law Enforcement Hall to report!"

"The current focus is to find the little thief in Wangyu, and then find Wang Xun's whereabouts through the little thief in Wangyu."

"You have also had many interactions with the little thief. Tell us how to find the whereabouts of this thief as soon as possible."

After these words fell, the disciples of the immortals looked at each other. After a while, Fang Qing, the leader, seemed to react and stood up. After paying homage, he slowly said: "Reporting to the ancestor, the disciple has personally led the team to hunt down this thief many times... This thief's cultivation is not a concern..."

"But his Gu technique is also extremely strange, emerging in an endless stream, and always unexpected, which makes him repeatedly Escape..."

"Moreover, according to the disciples' investigation, this thief is not just a single person in the southwest. After the fall of the Langya Wang family, there were still many remnants of the Wang family. After they fled, they hid in the southwest cultivation world..."

"Some of them obey the orders of the current Southwest Righteous Alliance, the Southwest Wang family... Some obey the orders of Wang Yu, the thief..."

"These have long formed a rather grand secret system. The garrison has cleared out many times and killed many remnants of thieves. The previous pursuit of Wang Yu was mostly obtained by following the clues..."

Fang Qing's voice was calm. As he spoke one sentence after another, a struggle that had lasted for many years in the southwest seemed to be gradually revealed to everyone present.

For the relatives present, they were all personal experiences, so they naturally understood it.

On the contrary, it was the first time for outsiders like Chu Mu to know the specific functions and operations of the Changsheng Sect's garrison.

Guarding a place is a good job, but obviously, it depends on the place.

If it is the northern frontier, a peaceful place in the inland, then it is naturally leisurely and full of money.

But the southwest, a place where the interests of all parties are intertwined, is undoubtedly sitting on the fire.

According to what Fang Qing said, the chaos in the southwest cultivation world is not caused by Wang Yu alone.

Or, Wang Yu's existence is only the most obvious one.

When the Langya Wang family was destroyed, the Southwest Righteous Alliance with the Langya Wang family as the core naturally disappeared.

But because it is located in the border area, it is almost destined that the remnants will still exist.

And these remaining remnants undoubtedly come from various sources.

There are the remaining descendants of the Langya Wang family, and there are also various forces in the southwest cultivation world that originally depended on the Wang family. There are also the descendants of the Nanshan Li family and the Donghu Xie family, who had their inheritance destroyed early and fled here, and there are also native cultivators from the southwestern countries...

When the original core collapsed, these people naturally could not gather together again.

Split is also inevitable.

Some still hold high the banner of the Righteous Alliance, some are under the control of the Wang family and hide in the southwestern countries, and some simply disappear, or set up their own banner, unwilling to be ruled by the Changsheng Sect...

The various and chaotic interests have led to the situation that although the southwestern cultivation world has been recovered for many years, it has always been undercurrent.

And the existence of Wang Yu seems to show that the Wang family is not harmonious.

Some of the Wang family members are active in the southwestern countries, while the other part is still hiding in the southwestern cultivation world. According to the intelligence obtained by Fang Qing after many clearings, the relationship between the two cannot even be said to be disharmonious, but can be said to be completely hostile!

The reason is also difficult to see.

But at least one thing is certain, it is not only the Changsheng Sect that is chasing Wang Yu, the remnants of the Wang family in the southwestern countries are also searching for Wang Yu.

Chu Mu glanced at the Xuancheng Patriarch without a trace, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Previously, Wang Yu was so high-profile in plundering the southwest, and no Yuanying Taishang of Changsheng Sect was so determined to get him.

Now...

Wang Xun? The third ancestor of the Wang family...

Chu Mu's eyes moved slightly, and it seemed that this was not difficult to guess.

After all, the remnants of the Wang family in the southwest were also searching for Wang Yu's existence...

Wang Yu himself was obviously not the key, the key was the ancestor of the Wang family behind Wang Yu.

A Yuanying powerhouse who was severely injured in the battle of Langya that year and may not have recovered to this day...

Chu Mu's thoughts were flying, and at this moment, in the lobby of this government office, with the Yuanying ancestor personally coming to pay attention, a group of Changsheng's direct disciples guarding Caiyun City were almost unprecedentedly hardworking and dedicated.

Around Wang Yu, who disappeared again, one after another careful plan was presented to avoid Yuanying's anger and blame.

After discussions again and again, the final plan for Wang Yu was gradually formed.

A chain plan to lure the snake out of its hole.

"Okay, let's proceed according to this plan."

"When the Gu Dao Conference is over, you will announce to the public as usual that I have left."

"I will also arrange the treasures needed for the plan."

"When the time comes, after the little thief from Wang Yu appears, you must not alert the snake and let him escape..."

"Disciple understands."

The disciples immediately responded and bowed again.

Ancestor Xuancheng nodded. At this moment, the sharpness between his eyebrows seemed to have eased a little. His eyes moved and finally fixed on Chu Mu.

Ancestor Xuancheng's eyes flickered, and after a moment of hesitation, he slowly said:

"Chu Mu, since you are already in the southwest, don't rush back to the sect for now. After this matter is over, return to the sect with me."

Chu Mu was slightly startled. Although he was full of doubts, he didn't dare to ask more questions. He answered honestly: "Disciple understands."

Ancestor Xuancheng nodded, and didn't want to explain. He looked at the disciples present, and after giving two more instructions, his figure flashed and disappeared in the hall of the government office.

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was completely relaxed. The disciples talked about it, and only Chu Mu was still confused.

This matter had nothing to do with him from beginning to end.

In the end, the matter was settled, and it was related to this inexplicable relationship with him...

"The true disciple is wondering why the ancestor arranged it this way?"

At this moment, Yu Zecheng sent a voice transmission.

Chu Mu was slightly startled, his eyes moved, and he saw that Yu Zecheng had already looked mysterious.

Chu Mu raised his eyebrows: "Junior brother, do you know the reason?"

"Not really."

Yu Zecheng shook his head: "This should not be a secret, but it is not certain whether it is true or not."

Such remarks made Chu Mu curious.

Yu Zecheng did not sell his connections any more. After a moment of silence, he explained the reason: "After destroying a secret contact point of the Wang family, I searched the soul and learned that there was a rumor circulating within the Wang family, which was not sure whether it was true or not."

"According to this rumor, before the Battle of Langya, the Wang family had already prepared a retreat, and even moved the Wang family secret realm, the foundation of the Wang family, out of Langya City with great power."

"At that time, the one who controlled this secret realm was the patriarch of the Wang family. However, after the Battle of Langya, the patriarch of the Wang family did not have time to escape and died in the hands of the master of the prison vein of our sect..."

"The control of the Wang family secret realm has disappeared since then, but at some point, within the Wang family, there began to be news that the ownership of the secret realm was taken away by Wang Xun, the ancestor who also disappeared..."

"According to the rumor, when the patriarch of the Wang family died, he did not disappear in an instant, but fled for a period of time, and at this time, Wang Xun happened to be Next to the head of the Wang family..."

"It is probably for this reason that the leader of our sect personally suppressed Wang Xun, but I don't know why he escaped..."

"Of course, these rumors are not known to be true or false, but the ancestor came here specifically for the ancestor of the Wang family. This should be certain."

"The ancestor of the Wang family probably really has control over the secret realm of the Wang family. The reason why he disappeared in recent years and no one can find him is that Wang Yu is so cunning and has escaped our net many times. It is probably because of the secret realm of the Wang family inheritance..."

At this point, Yu Zecheng paused for a while, then looked at Chu Mu and said:

"This time, the ancestor specially left the true teachings to you, probably because he took a fancy to your array skills. When the time comes to crack the secret realm, it is estimated that you will need your help. "

Chu Mu frowned, almost subconsciously, he recalled the great terror he encountered in the devil's world that year!

Secret realm!

Moreover, it is a secret realm with an owner, which is not a place of opportunity!

If you enter without the owner's permission, it is almost like a mortal going up a mountain of swords and down a sea of ​​fire!

Although the Xuancheng Patriarch is so determined to win, he must have a great confidence, but... no matter how great the confidence is, it must be relative to the cultivation of Xuancheng Patriarch in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul...

And he, Chu Mu, is only a late Jindan, and a late Jindan who has not recovered from a serious injury...

...
