Weird cultivation of immortality starts with possessing a mysterious book

“I’m going to come up with something.”

When he arrived at the Treasure Pavilion, Gu Xing still hadn't decided to apply for the job in the Sea of ​​Blood.

Although the salary is definitely generous, it is not like some companies that write that the salary is generous but can only offer jobs worth three thousand per month during the interview.

But the key point is that you have to risk your life to get it.

Therefore, Gu Xing’s first thought was to take out all the odds and ends in the storage magic weapon and buy some to see if he could get enough to get a piece of purple energy crystal.

The person who received him this time was Xiaoya, who he had approached on his own initiative, after all, it is easier to get things done with someone you know.

Xiaoya didn't show any impatience when Gu Xing took out a lot of random things.

Those that were not very valuable were collected directly, and for the valuable ones, as before, some so-called masters were asked to appraise them.

After a whole morning, Gu Xing had finally sold all the extra items on him, for a total of 110 million.

It is worth mentioning that the most valuable thing is the fake jade seal that Qin Wen gave him. According to the appraisal master, this thing is very rare and can be used as a material for refining spiritual treasures. Even if the refiner's level is high enough, it is not impossible to make a forbidden weapon.

It’s a pity that it has been carved, which has damaged its spirituality, otherwise its price would be over 100 million.

But even so, the appraiser gave a high price of 90 million.

Therefore, including the tens of millions before, Gu Xing now has about 150 million grain coins in his hands.

This was already an exaggerated number, but it was still 230 million short of a Purple Qi Crystal.

Therefore, Gu Xing finally asked about the notice.

"What's the specific reward for recruiting people to go to the Sea of ​​Blood as written on the notice?" Gu Xing looked at Xiaoya.

Xiaoya was quite happy at first. After all, although it was an acquisition, it was also a big order with considerable profit.

Although the biggest share of the profit doesn't go to her, the commission is still considerable.

But when she heard Gu Xing say this, the smile on her face disappeared instantly, and she hurriedly whispered.

"Sir, this kind of mission is usually very dangerous. Each time, less than half of the people we recruit may return. There have even been several times when no one returned alive."

After hearing what she said, Gu Xing became interested.

"Does this kind of recruitment happen frequently?" Gu Xing asked.

"Not often," Xiaoya thought for a moment, "basically it happens once a year on average, sometimes a few times."

“So often?”

"We can't help it. This is the rule left by the saints. Whenever there is a possibility of solving the problem of strange people, the Zhao family will send people to investigate. If it is not dangerous, we can just send some people to investigate it clearly. If it is too dangerous..."

At this time, Xiaoya looked around and saw that no one was approaching before continuing,

"The only way to fill this gap is to use human lives."

After hearing this, Gu Xing felt a slight chill in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face and he continued to ask.

"How is the reward calculated?"

Seeing that Gu Xing still hadn't given up the idea of ​​recruiting after she had said so much, Xiaoya suddenly became a little anxious.

"You...you...you, this is very dangerous. Don't you have money? There is no need to earn this life-threatening money. This is usually only done by people who are about to become weird."

Gu Xing smiled and said comfortingly.

"It's okay. Just tell me how much the reward is. Maybe if the reward is too low, I won't have any idea."

"But...it pays really well!" she whispered.

"Tell me about it."

Xiaoya muttered, but finally spoke in a low voice.

"The Inner Court realm is 10 million grain coins, Burning Lamp is 100 million, Fighting Crossing is 200 million, and if it is a divine visitation, it is 500 million grain coins. However, before you come back, you can only get 10% of the deposit. The rest will be given if you come back alive with the results. If you don't come back alive, then you will get another 10% as a pension."

When Gu Xing first heard that he was given so much, he was a little surprised, but when he heard that it would all be given to him only if he came back alive, he finally understood.

If not, everyone would sign up and take the money. With such high rewards, the Treasure Pavilion would probably go bankrupt soon.

But only 20% is already high enough.

If it was just an ordinary task, everyone would have been eager to take on such a high reward.

But this is a life-threatening job.

Faced with such a high death rate every year, even the weird people would be hesitant.

Only some cunning people who have not much time left would not care about their lives and take a chance.

Even if you die, you can still get 20% of the reward and leave it to your family.

If you can come back alive and bring back the results of the mission, that would be even better. It means that your gamble has succeeded. With so much wealth in hand, maybe you can live a little longer.

Even if it is the worst result, there is still a 10% guarantee.

The Zhao family will not take back this 10% deposit.

"Customer, please don't be upset. It's not easy to find a big client with whom you have a good relationship..." Xiaoya couldn't help but speak when she saw Gu Xing thinking silently, but her voice became smaller and smaller.

Gu Xing, who was very perceptive, naturally heard what she said next, and was immediately confused about whether to laugh or cry.

However, he did not get angry or hate Xiaoya because of this.

Because from the beginning to the end, Xiaoya never did anything to deliberately get close to Gu Xing because of his financial resources.

She has always been working hard, and at most she is a little bit familiar, but she always keeps a proper distance.

Even when she was helping Gu Xing to purchase those sundries, she still followed the rules of the Treasure Pavilion. She did not take some items that were not accepted or did not meet the specifications, and she did not break the rules for Gu Xing.

It can be seen that she is an honest and serious girl.

As for what she said now, it was more of a complaint and an attempt to persuade Gu Xing not to go.

It's a pity that such a good girl is a weird person.

This is not because Gu Xing looks down on strange people, after all, he himself is a strange person.

However, Xiaoya’s cultivation level is not very high, and her life span is estimated to be not too long. Even though she works so hard now, it is difficult for her to reach the life span of an ordinary person.

This is a heavy and sad topic.

But for the weird people, it is a very normal phenomenon.

Gu Xing sighed in his heart, but didn't think about it anymore.

He was just wondering whether 100 million grain coins were worth the trip.

There are ways to save lives and ways to escape, but no one knows what kind of accidents will occur once entering the sea of ​​blood.

But think about it carefully, when has there been any time during your journey when there was no danger?

From the various strange things encountered in Niuben Village at the beginning, to the Taoist temple, then from the Taoist temple to Zhennan Pass, and finally to this Xuanluo Valley.

If you think about it carefully, he didn't have a very peaceful life.

Basically, you are either fighting against weirdness or on the way to fighting against weirdness.

On the way, we would occasionally encounter some adventures such as void turbulence and tombs.

Of course, most of these adventures are also extremely dangerous, and most will at least result in serious injuries.

It was because he was cautious enough. If someone was more careless, the body might have turned into soil.

But this time, Gu Xing was a little conflicted about whether he should continue to be cautious.

If he continues to be cautious and does not go to the Sea of ​​Blood, and if he does not encounter any adventure, it may take him several years to break through to the realm of struggle.

This was already a very fast speed for ordinary people, but for Gu Xing, who had practiced all the way here as if he was on a plane, he was naturally not very satisfied, especially since his level of weirdness was quite high.

If you don't take the longevity elixir, you can only live for a few years.

Under such pressure, he naturally wanted to break through quickly.

As for going to the sea of ​​blood, needless to say, one has to risk his life.

It is a place with indescribable weirdness. Even if the weirdness is not right, you cannot just enter it casually.

Moreover, there is another problem, which is the time it takes to complete this task.

If it takes too long, it might be more cost-effective for Gu Xing to work hard every day to attract the purple energy.

A lot of thinking, but in fact only a short moment passed.

So, looking at Xiaoya in front of him, Gu Xing asked again.

"Do you know how long this mission will last?"

Xiaoya looked at him helplessly, but finally spoke.

"Generally speaking, missions are pretty quick, but the journey takes a while. From Hanging Valley to the Sea of ​​Blood, it takes about a month to go back and forth. If you include the time required for the mission, it might take two months in total."

Two months...it was quite a short time, somewhat beyond Gu Xing's expectations.

But it is understandable. After all, it doesn’t take too long to just check the information and confirm whether the rumor is true.

Moreover, for such tasks, the Zhao family would usually prepare in advance before issuing the task and recruiting people.

As long as you are well prepared, the task will be much easier.

So... should I go or not?

Gu Xing was very conflicted.

Don’t go. Without the resources, I don’t know how long it will take me to break through and reach the level of struggling to cross.

Go ahead and risk your life.

Forget it, I'd better just stay low and grow.

Although time is not on your side, you can use longevity pills to delay time.

After thinking for a long time, Gu Xing made this decision.

"What's wrong?" At this time, Xiaoya in front of him saw that Gu Xing had not spoken for a long time and suddenly asked.

Gu Xing just looked up and wanted to say something, but suddenly he was stunned.

He felt that something was wrong with him.

Been struggling for too long!

If it were my old self, I would have made the decision long ago.

But this time, I hesitated for so long.

Is it because of the weirdness?

Or is it because my personality has changed since I came into this world?

Gu Xing felt somewhat confused and a little solemn.

In this regard, he finally gritted his teeth and denied his previous decision in his heart.

go with!

Whether it is to speed up the breakthrough or to find a possible solution to the problem of weirdness, it is what he needs.

So what if I try my best?

Not to mention that I have Dunxu.

Even if I can't escape, the worst that can happen is that I die.

He is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of meaningless death.

So is this mission meaningful?

Nature makes sense.

He wanted to completely resolve the weirdness as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if he allows the weirdness to affect himself, his personality and thinking will change, and it will be difficult to judge whether he is still the same person in the end.

Faced with this problem, the ruthlessness in his bones was forced out at this moment.

therefore--

Scared!

He thought so and looked at Xiaoya at the same time.

"If I want to participate in this mission, who should I contact?"

"No... I've said so much, why do you still want to go?" Xiaoya became anxious.

Gu Xing put his hand on her shoulder.

"Thank you for worrying about me, but don't worry. I decided to go because I was sure of it. I won't die if I'm not sure."

Although he decided to give it a try, Gu Xing also believed that as long as he did not encounter the worst case scenario, he had a high probability of coming back alive.

Moreover, not to mention Dunxu, he also controls a female merman in his strange book.

With the mermaid around, even if we were like fish in water, at least surviving in the sea of ​​blood wouldn't be a big problem.

Because Gu Xing was too close to her, Xiaoya blushed a little when he exhaled his warm breath.

In the end, she just sighed helplessly and said:

"If you really decide to go, then come with me."

Seeing Gu Xing nod, Xiaoya then took him into the treasure house and finally came to a yard.

In the yard, a strong man was lying on a lounge chair basking in the sun.

The sturdy man is covered in muscles, with large black lines on his body, and you can tell at a glance that he looks quite weird.

As for its strength, Gu Xing could only feel that it was unfathomable. He estimated that he would have to at least fight to cross over and it was most likely a god.

Xiaoya came up to him and called out respectfully.

"Senior Kang, someone wants to join the mission at the door."

"It's Xiaoya, how are you doing recently?"

Kang Yong opened his eyes and looked at Xiaoya first, with a smile on his face that he thought was gentle but was actually hideous.

Xiaoya was not afraid and responded with a smile.

"You're doing well, Senior Kang. I've made a lot of commissions recently. I'll treat you to a meal when I'm free."

"Ok, I will wait for you."

After responding with a smile, Kang Yong looked at Gu Xing.

At the same time, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he looked at Gu Xing with a scrutinizing look.

Gu Xing felt like a thorn in his back when he was stared at by him.

But he remained motionless and calmly accepted the scrutiny.

After a long while, Kang Yong finally spoke, and his words were judgmental.

"In the middle stage of Burning Lamp, your physical strength is close to that of the Inner Palace, and the quality of your Qi seems pretty good, but the degree of weirdness is not that deep yet. Boy, you still have a long time to go before you can completely become weird. Why do you want to participate in this mission?"

"I'm short of money." Gu Xing told the truth.

"Lack of money, aren't you very rich?"

Xiaoya, who was standing by, was puzzled. She had witnessed with her own eyes that Gu Xing had earned hundreds of millions.

"Poor." Gu Xing said concisely.

"Don't you have 200 million grain coins?" Xiaoya was still confused.

"Two hundred million?" Kang Yong, who was watching from the side, was a little surprised. However, he was not surprised by the two hundred million grain coins, because this was not a lot for him.

He was surprised that a person at the Burning Lamp Realm could have 200 million.

"It's not enough!" Gu Xing sighed, but didn't say much.

"What do you want to do? Two hundred million is not enough?" Xiaoya continued to ask.

It can be seen that she doesn't want Gu Xing to die.

"For cultivation."

"Practice." Xiaoya muttered, but didn't say anything else.

For practitioners, spiritual practice is indeed something worth striving for.

At this moment, Kang Yong suddenly smiled.

"For cultivation...boy, I admire you a little. Speaking of which, you should be quite young, but you have already cultivated to the Burning Lamp Realm. Your talent and hard work are not low, right?"
