Weird cultivation of immortality starts with possessing a mysterious book

Watching the purple-eyed woman leave, new doubts arose in Gu Xing's mind.

If all this was a trial, then why did the woman with purple eyes go directly into the Hanging Valley, while the others, even if they were not selected by the person behind the counter, just stayed aside temporarily?

Moreover, what about the muscular man's words about quitting, and the old man's question "Whose"? What's going on?

Gu Xing felt that this hunt was not as simple as he thought.

But he couldn't ask anyone else, so he could only wait quietly in the crowd, waiting for his turn to hand in the token, and then study what the longevity pill was after getting it.

There were not many people left, and soon it was Gu Xing's turn.

Gu Xing followed the others and handed over the only five tokens hanging on his waist.

Five tokens were considered very few, so the person behind the counter handed five longevity pills to Gu Xing without saying a word, wearing a symbolic smile on his face.

Gu Xing took it, took out a jade bottle that had been prepared long ago, and put the pill in it.

Then he also walked to the corner where a crowd gathered.

Before I got close, I heard them shouting.

"How many tokens did you take this time?"

"Nine. How about you?"

"Two more than you, eleven."

"Not bad, you took so much, what are you going to do with it?"

"What else can I do? Go back to the alley and roll around a few times."

"hey-hey……"

……

Are these people from the Hanging Valley?

Hearing those words that were not suitable for children, Gu Xing was a little surprised.

If this hunt was a selection, but from the tone of these people, it seemed that they had participated in it many times.

It's like a weekly routine in the game, they come to play from time to time.

Combined with what the muscular man said before about quitting, why does this so-called hunting look more and more like a game?

Gu Xing felt that this matter seemed to be getting stranger and stranger.

But he still said nothing, just like he had been in the pub, listening quietly to the conversations of the people around him.

Most of the people around seemed to know each other.

Only a small number of people, like Gu Xing, hid in the corner and kept a certain distance from others.

These people are also strange people, but unlike others, Gu Xing can see that their condition seems to be very wrong.

Those who don’t have dark lines on their faces are fine, but those who have dark lines on their faces have expressions that change from time to time, as if they can’t control their emotions.

However, some people will swallow a longevity pill they have just obtained, and then their condition seems to improve a lot all of a sudden.

When Gu Xing saw this, he was surprised.

Does this longevity pill have any effect on weirdness?

Could it be that the strange people in Xuanluo Valley can live for a long time just by relying on this kind of elixir?

In a moment, Gu Xing thought a lot, but before he could sort out his thoughts, the counter over there had already been cleaned up.

After cleaning up, the person behind the counter said a few words to the gatekeeper and walked in with the people he had just recruited.

And when they walked in, the rest of the people also arrived at the entrance of the valley.

At this time, the guards let them in after those people walked away.

Gu Xing couldn't help but frown when he saw this situation. The class relations here seemed to be quite serious, but he didn't think much about it. He mixed in the crowd and walked inside.

The Hanging Valley was very large. After walking on the road for a while, Gu Xing finally saw some buildings appearing in front of him.

There are no city walls here, so Gu Xing can see the densely packed buildings at a glance.

When they got here, the people who had been mingling together before dispersed in groups of three or four.

Gu Xing took a look and randomly chose a direction to walk in.

It is night time now, but the streets are still brightly lit, and people are coming and going in a hurry, living a life of drunkenness and dreaming.

Gu Xing looked at all this, observing quietly.

When you arrive in a strange place, the first thing you need to do is naturally to find a place to live.

However, he had no idea what currency was used in the Hanging Valley, so he was considering whether to find an inn.

However, if there is an inn, it means that this place actually welcomes outsiders, so Gu Xing may not need to be so cautious next time.

Thinking of this, Gu Xing didn't think any further and started looking for an inn.

Regardless of being cautious or not, you should try not to let others know your true identity. This is an important point that Gu Xing realized after entering the society.

Just like in the business world, it is best to act mysterious so that others cannot figure out your true identity, which will make it easier for the subsequent verbal battle.

When it comes to society, it means preventing yourself from being cheated and bullied.

After turning a few streets, a sign of "Ruyi Inn" came into view.

Gu Xing took a few glances and walked in.

There was someone dozing off behind the counter. When he heard the deliberate noise of Gu Xing walking, he opened his eyes and saw Gu Xing, and a smile instantly broke out on his face.

"welcome."

"Boss, how much does it cost to stay in the hotel?"

"One longevity pill a day."

Longevity pill?

This place actually uses this thing as currency?

Gu Xing was slightly surprised, but his expression remained unchanged, and he just said.

"So expensive?"

When the boss heard that it was expensive, he started crying.

"It's not expensive. You know how expensive the houses in Hanging Valley are. Just this inn cost me at least millions of longevity pills to buy it."

"Really?" Gu Xing smiled faintly and did not comment.

But he finally took out a longevity pill and handed it to the boss.

The boss took it, checked it, and nodded happily.

"Not bad, it's a good product that has just been refined. Come on, guest, please come this way."

With that, the boss led the way to the second floor.

There are many empty rooms on the second floor, which shows that this inn is not doing very well.

Gu Xing randomly chose a room close to the street and moved in.

In fact, with his strength, it would be okay for him to sleep on the street at night.

But considering that he had just arrived here, he decided to try not to attract attention.

Moreover, he was not clear about the rules of this place. Maybe sleeping on the streets was not allowed in this valley?

Therefore, with all kinds of worries, he finally chose to come to the inn.

After entering the room, he did not rush to rest, but checked the room. After finding nothing unusual, he went to the window.

The inn is a two-story building, which is considered tall in Hanging Valley where construction technology is not well developed.

Therefore, through the window, Gu Xing could see a large area of ​​the Hanging Valley.

At this moment, there was a sudden explosion from not far away, followed by smoke and a raging fire.

Gu Xing turned his head and found that it was a house not far away.

Following his memory, he remembered that there seemed to be a tavern there.

At first, he also wanted to hang out in the pub, but the pub was full of all kinds of people and you never know what might happen.

It was a good thing I didn't go, because the explosion was just the beginning, followed by all kinds of chaotic battle waves.

At this time, the window of the room next to Gu Xing was also opened.

A frivolous man stuck his head out, saw Gu Xing, was a little surprised, then chuckled and said.

"Brother, are you watching the show too?"

//

Gu Xing nodded softly and said nothing more.

Seeing Gu Xing's reaction, the frivolous man tactfully shut his mouth.

Only then did Gu Xing look seriously in the direction of the tavern.

The two parties fighting were two men. With the help of the firelight, Gu Xing could see that their faces were covered with black lines, which clearly showed that they were too weird.

Then it is not surprising that there is a conflict.

Gu Xing has had this feeling before. When the weirdness reaches a certain level, it will affect thinking and emotions, and it is easy to lose control of emotions.

Although he has not yet reached the point where his emotions are out of control, some of his daily thinking habits have changed to a certain extent.

But he has always been very good at restraining himself, so he didn't show it much.

When one's cultivation reaches a certain level, it's not just the strength that counts, but also the tenacity of the mind that is extraordinary. This is why the Hanging Valley still exists and looks quite prosperous.

Otherwise, if they all had such weird tempers, they would have started fighting a long time ago, and no matter how solid the Hanging Valley was, it would have collapsed.

However, a tavern is different. It is a place for people to drink and vent their emotions. Fighting scenes are common there. People around are just watching the fun and few are panicking.

The battle started suddenly and ended quickly. The fire was extinguished as soon as it started and did not spread to other buildings.

However, the tavern was almost destroyed after being burned down and affected by the aftermath of the battle.

However, Gu Xing noticed that among the crowd watching the excitement next to the tavern, there was a person who was laughing particularly happily, and he didn't know why.

The battle did not stop on its own initiative, but because someone intervened.

It was a group of soldiers, wearing armor and holding spears, looking quite impressive.

However, what is even more awe-inspiring is the aura they exude. From a distance, none of them is lower than the level of Randeng.

Are all the people in Xuanluo Valley so powerful?

Gu Xing was amazed. After all, even the defenders of Zhennan Pass were not all at the level of Lighting or above. Most of them were from the inner court, and some were even at the Foundation Establishment stage.

The arrival of this team of soldiers quickly subdued the two people in the fight.

Afterwards, of course, there were various matters such as compensation. After everything was discussed and communicated, Gu Xing saw the two people fighting and immediately took out a lot of things, including jade bottles containing elixirs and various other valuable items.

Then, part of it was given as compensation to the onlooker who laughed the happiest, and part of it was pocketed by the soldiers.

Afterwards, everyone was happy, the fun was over, and everyone went home. The drinkers didn't lose out by just watching the fun.

Only those two people couldn't control their emotions and almost lost all their family fortune.

Gu Xing looked at it and was amazed.

The way the Hanging Valley handles things is also peculiar; if something goes wrong, all that’s left is compensation.

But remembering that this place is full of weirdos, if everyone who fights like this is thrown into jail, even the biggest jail will be full in a few days.

I guess only serious crimes like murder will be punished severely, most of the time they are just given lenient treatment.

After watching the excitement and seeing that there was nothing more novel, Gu Xing withdrew his gaze, then sat back on the bed and took out a jade bottle.

When the jade bottle was opened, four soybean-sized brown pills were found inside. They were undoubtedly longevity pills.

This longevity pill doesn't look anything special, but it is this pill that can actually have a strange effect.

Gu Xing studied it for a while, but he knew nothing about elixirs, so he could only confirm that it was edible.

But I don't know what effect it will have after taking it.

Out of caution, Gu Xing did not swallow it directly.

Anyway, he has already lit the lamp, so even if he doesn't take the pill, the weirdness won't affect him for the time being.

Moreover, instead of taking drugs every day, Gu Xing wanted to understand the principle of how this elixir affects the weirdness, and then solve the weirdness from the root.

Since there was nothing found regarding the elixir, the next step would naturally be to practice day after day.

When the rooster crows in the morning, another night has passed.

Gu Xing closed his eyes but did not fall asleep, and the internal energy continued to operate.

And at some point, there was suddenly a noise outside the house, with hurried footsteps, hurried conversations, and various other noises.

"Hurry up, the Hanging Valley will be lifted off soon."

"Alas, I haven't earned this month's longevity elixir yet, so I have to go pick some flowers in the swamp."

What they said was not important, so they did not hide it. Gu Xing stayed in the room and heard it clearly.

Listening to their conversation, it seemed that these people were all trying to leave here before the Hanging Valley took off, and then find ways to get something outside and earn the longevity pill.

It sounds similar to The Revenant, but what they want is not money, but longevity pills.

Gu Xing naturally had nothing much to say about this. He could only become more and more curious about the effects of this longevity pill and why it could be used as currency in Xuanluo Valley.

He wanted to try eating one, but finally gave up the idea.

It is better to be cautious when taking a pill whose efficacy you are not completely sure of.

This longevity pill is not like the pills Gu Xing used before.

Those commonly used elixirs are basically very common, and there are easy identification methods. Even if they are stolen, as long as they are confirmed to be non-toxic, they can basically be used.

If you really can't recognize it, you can ask someone to identify it.

Gu Xing doesn't know much about elixirs, but there are always people who know about them, and there is even an industry chain for the identification of black goods. There are fixed methods and processes from identification to receipt and shipment.

Gu Xing didn’t understand it at first, but after hanging around in the market for a long time, his eyes and ears became more open, and he naturally learned about these things.

However, this longevity pill is different. It is only available in Xuanluo Valley, so you should wait until you know more about it before considering whether to take it.

After a while, the commotion outside quickly quieted down.

Then, after a while, Gu Xing suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet begin to shake.

It was like experiencing an earthquake, everything around was shaking.

He immediately stood up and looked quickly out the window to see what was happening.

But it was very quiet outside, as if everyone was familiar with the feeling of vibration and was not alarmed.

Soon, the vibration stopped, and was replaced by a force coming from under the feet.

The force was quite gentle, but it carried him upwards.

At this time, Gu Xing looked up into the distance, and then he saw that the scenery in the distance had changed.

Where the valley is located is a large plain, but there are still towering peaks on the edge of the plain.

But at this time, only a peak remained on the mountain, and soon, even the peak could not be seen.

So, Gu Xing understood.

This hanging valley is going up to the sky.
