I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 69: Cowardly
When one first enters the realm of a grandmaster, all one's true energy, qi and blood, and divine will are gathered in the Tao fetus, growing and transforming along with the Tao fetus, transforming into innate true energy.

During this period of time, the Grand Master is as fragile as an ordinary person, and most external disasters come from this time.

Gu Yuanqing smiled nonchalantly and said, "I see. I was wondering how you could be so bold today! But, you've staked everything on today. Aren't you afraid that I'll regress from the Grandmaster level and fight you to the death?"

Gu Wenqi took a deep breath and said ventriloquially, "I am a coward who lives a life of shame and despair. It is not a pity for me to die. If you would rather sacrifice your future than kill me, then I am unlucky!"

Gu Yuanqing nodded and said, "That does make sense. Before you become a Grandmaster, even if you fail to break through, you can always try again. If you become a Grandmaster, your secret treasure will turn into a Dao fetus, and your essence, energy, and spirit will be united. If you regress from the Grandmaster realm, at best your foundation will be damaged, and you will no longer have the possibility of becoming a Grandmaster. At worst, your secret treasure will be damaged, your cultivation will be lost, and your life will be in danger."

"Since Master Gu understands, there is no need for me to say more. I had no choice but to do this. I can't find any other way. For me, I have lived in shame for decades just for the word revenge. If I can't take revenge, then there is no point in living!"

Gu Wenqi bowed again and said, "Master Gu, you are a good person, don't blame me, you can only blame the world, but please think carefully and don't force me to do it!"

The wonder of Zhenwu appeared on Gu Wenqi's body, and the hatchet was drawn in his hand, revealing the aura of the eighth level of Zhenwu.

Gu Yuanqing picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip. Suddenly he glanced in the direction of the courtyard gate and sneered, "You are making it difficult for me by doing this."

Gu Wenqi frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Since you have already taken action, if I kill you, it is your own fault and you cannot blame me. But you keep saying how miserable you are and how you had no choice, as if it would be unreasonable for me to kill you. But if I let you go, I will feel unreasonable. Gu Wenqi, do you think I am in a difficult situation?"

Gu Wenqi was stunned and didn't understand what Gu Yuanqing meant.

As he spoke, Gu Yuanqing suddenly stretched out his hand, and a book in the room flew into his hand. He said, "This practice method can lead you directly to the realm of a grandmaster, and it is in the same vein as the practice method of the Beiquan Sword School. If you get it, you may have a chance to become a grandmaster. Now I will give you the right to choose. This book is in my hand. If you kill me, this book is yours!"

Gu Wenqi was stunned on the spot. He didn't expect Gu Yuanqing to do this. He was a little hesitant.

"Master Gu, you are forcing me to take action!"

"I'm not forcing you, but you have to make a choice. Just like I asked you before, why should I teach you the master's method, it's the same now. The thing is here, come and get it if you have the ability. Either you kill me and get this method, or you die for it. This is fair! Isn't it? Of course, if you leave now, considering that you have been my servant for a year, I can still let you go."

At this point, Gu Yuanqing sneered: "You are not naive enough to think that I will give you the things obediently as long as you threaten me a few times, right?"

Gu Wenqi's breathing began to rapid. He stared at the book in Gu Yuanqing's hand and held the hatchet tightly.

Gu Yuanqing whispered again: "Think about it carefully. If you miss this opportunity, there may not be another one."

The hatchet in Gu Wenqi's hand began to tremble. He stared at Gu Yuanqing and began to show murderous intent. A voice came from his stomach: "Why are you forcing me? Why? I don't want to kill you, but why are you unwilling to hand over the things? Why do you force me to do it? You are looking for death, you can't blame me!"

As he spoke, Gu Wenqi swung the hatchet and chopped at Gu Yuanqing, but he didn't use even 40% of his energy, leaving most of it for defense.

Gu Yuanqing waved his hand lightly, a strong wind blew out, and Gu Wenqi flew backwards without any resistance and rolled to the ground.

Gu Wenqi raised his head and looked at Gu Yuanqing in shock. This was the power of a Grandmaster, but how could Gu Yuanqing, who should be in the weak stage of transformation, still have such power? "In fact, I think you are quite pitiful. You have a grudge against the court, against King Qing, and against the Sword Saint Qin Wuya. But King Qing has been here, and Qin Wuya has also been here, but you don't dare to face them.

You lurk here, hoping to inherit the Beiquan Sword School, but you have seen me practice Beiquan Sword School's swordsmanship, but you dare not ask a few questions. You only think that the opportunity has come when the so-called Grandmaster is weak. But when you really get here, you still hesitate and dare not take action, because you are afraid that I will really kill you at all costs. "

These words seemed to touch Gu Wenqi's heart. He became angry and wanted to rush forward again with a knife in hand.

But Gu Yuanqing did not give him another chance. As he thought about it, the infinite pressure directly pressed him to the ground like a toad.

Gu Yuanqing was a little disappointed. At this moment, killing Gu Wenqi was no different from crushing an ant. But suddenly he felt that such a person was not worthy of dying in his hands.

Thinking back to when I first came to Beiquan Mountain, this old man was once a master in my mind, but when all the glory faded, he became so cowardly and incompetent.

He kept saying that he would do anything for revenge, but in reality, everything he did was just an excuse for him to survive.

Gu Wenqi struggled on the ground angrily.

Gu Yuanqing was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked softly: "Senior Li, do you think I should kill him or not?"

Li Shian walked out from the shadow of a big tree.

"If Master Gu wants to know what I mean, then spare his life. After all, this is Beiquan Mountain, and there is no one else in the Beiquan Sword Sect except him."

Gu Yuanqing shook his head and sneered, and finally said calmly: "Since the senior has spoken, I will spare his life. However, since he attacked me, I should take back what I gave him!"

As he spoke, Gu Yuanqing slapped Gu Wenqi on the chest from a distance.

The breath penetrated directly into the Crimson Palace, and Gu Wenqi spat out a mouthful of blood. Spiritual energy and evil spirit emanated from his body. He suddenly became weak, and his cultivation level dropped from the eighth level of Zhenwu to the seventh level of Zhenwu.

Gu Yuanqing withdrew the oppression from Beiquan Mountain.

"get out!"

Gu Wenqi gritted his teeth, climbed up, clenched his fists, then turned and left. A moment later he was out of Beiquan Mountain. But when he actually walked out of Beiquan Mountain, he suddenly felt that he had lost something.

The vitality outside the mountain is completely different from that inside the mountain. He has been staying in the mountain for the past year, like a toad boiled in warm water. He can't feel the changes inside the mountain at all. He even thought that he was able to break through the eighth level of Zhenwu because of his ascetic practice.

But he didn't know that as long as he could stay in the mountains, as the spiritual energy in the mountains became denser and denser, he would eventually reach the master level that was difficult for ordinary people to reach.

Gu Yuanqing asked Li Shian to sit down and said calmly: "When I wanted to kill him, Senior's aura blocked it. Now that you want me to let him go, I'm afraid it's not just out of pity, right?"
