Master, you go first!

"Okay, okay, I like to go down the mountain the most. The master usually doesn't let me go down the mountain. He says that I am careless and easy to be deceived." Shen Nian said angrily, "Do you think the master is biased? Even you can do it." I can’t go down the mountain to buy groceries.”

"I think the master has his own principles." Gu Jiu said clearly on the surface, but secretly complained that Lao Xu was trying to save face by not calling you stupid directly.

"Then you can talk to the master later. If you go and tell me, I think he will definitely agree." Shen Nian said with a smile, "Now hurry up and tell me the picture book."

So, Gu Jiu helplessly told Shen Nian about "The Overbearing Sect Master Falls in Love with Me".

……

At the same time, in the southern border of Luo Kingdom, Qinglin City, Guangming Sect.

A man was pacing back and forth in the study. He had a fairy-like appearance, with gray and white hair, and a neat and elegant beard. Although he looked like an old man, he had piercing eyes and a figure in a gray robe. Slender and steady in his steps, he doesn't look old at all. This person is Liu Xiuming, the leader of the Guangming Sect.

With a "pop" sound, an old man in black robe landed on the ground. Knocked on the door and said, "Sect Master."

"Come in."

The old man pushed open the door and entered. He saluted and said, "Sect Master, the saint has been safely sent to Lingyun Immortal Sect."

Liu Xiuming nodded, looked at the old man, and said with a little guilt, "Old Xing, the sect owes you this time."

"Sect master, there is no need to blame yourself. It's all for the sake of the sect." Xing Su spoke, his voice firm and somewhat sad.

Xing Su, the elder of Guangming Sect Deacon Hall, the saint sent to Lingyun Immortal Sect this time is his direct disciple Qin Rong.

"No one would have thought that this year we would choose the Holy Maiden of Fire Spirit Root instead, and even named Qin Rong. The decision above is also ours..." Liu Xiuming sighed helplessly, "Hey..."

Xing Su took out a technique from the storage container and handed it to Liu Xiuming, saying: "This is the technique that the higher-ups asked for for the good seedlings who won the sect competition this year. It requires the fire spirit root."

Liu Xiuming continued, "You can go and have a rest. This year's competitions between the sects will be handled by others."

Liu Xiuming didn't want him to get emotional.

"Yes, Sect Master." Xing Su replied, then turned and left. He gritted his teeth and walked out of the study.

Back at his residence, Xing Su sat there for a long time, his eyes in a trance. Only now did he realize the pain of others before. As a master, he can only watch the apprentice he has worked so hard to bring up become someone else's furnace. His future is uncertain, but he has no way to resist. He used to think others were being pretentious, but this time it was his turn and he woke up, but he could only accept his fate.

The Guangming Sect is one of the four major sects under the Lingyun Immortal Sect. The four major sects are located in the southeast, northwest and four directions. In fact, they are puppet sects supported by the Lingyun Immortal Sect. They do some shady things for the Lingyun Immortal Sect in exchange for resources. .

……

Gu Jiu put down the finished teapot, "Okay, the time is up, master, it's time for you to invite me." He stood at the door and made an invitation gesture.

"Ah, it's been half an hour so soon." Shen Nian said reluctantly. She was immersed in the story, in which she rescued the sect master in trouble for the heroine, and lived a life of men farming and women weaving in the mountains.

"Why do you think this sect leader is thinking about revenge? The heroine obviously likes him very much, but he doesn't notice it at all. He is really stupid."

"Gujiu, do you think he will find out how good the heroine is in the future?"

"Gujiu, do you think they are a good match for their talents and looks?"

"The people who injured the sect leader are really disgusting, but I have to thank them, otherwise how could I meet such a good woman like the heroine."

Gu Jiu was speechless again. He turned around and walked out of the room and went to Xu Yuhong's residence.

Shen Nian didn't hesitate. She put away the jade-slip storybook on the table, her eyes rolling as she thought about how to ask Gu Jiu to teach him a book next time. She seemed to have discovered Gu Jiu's correct method of using it: to get into the storybook. Yu Jian, act like a baby, turn on the voice switch, adjust the volume, and start the real person story telling.

"Master." Gu Jiu knocked on the door, but Xu Yuhong didn't open the door.

Gu Jiu went to the alchemy room again. Seeing Xu Yuhong refining elixirs, he sat down next to him without disturbing him. He watched him refining elixirs and learned from them. For now, this is still his main job.

By the time Xu Yuhong finished practicing, it was already noon.

"Master, I will take Master down the mountain tomorrow." Gu Jiucai said to him.

"What to do?"

"Look for some black mysterious jade slips. Shopkeeper Liu from the mountain market said that there are still some in the county bookstore." Gu Jiu said, "I should let my master find out if there is a suitable technique. It won't be a big competition in two months." Yet."

"Okay, I can rest assured that you will take me with you. I'll look for some prescriptions by the way." Xu Yuhong was relieved. After getting along with each other for so many years, he knew that Gu Jiu was not at all what he appeared to be. The tacit understanding between the two scheming villains .

Gu Jiu stretched out his hand: "Silver."

"Didn't the sect master give you the spiritual stone? You can exchange it yourself."

"Don't expose your wealth, just to be on the safe side."

Xu Yuhong reluctantly took out a hundred taels and gave it to him. One hundred taels of silver in this world can theoretically be exchanged for an ordinary spiritual stone. Of course, this is only in theory. Spiritual stones are the hard currency in the world of immortality, and few immortality cultivators will exchange them for silver. The conversion between spiritual stones is also 100:1. That is, 100 ordinary items can be exchanged for 1 medium-quality item, and 100 medium-level items can be exchanged for 1 high-level item.

The Great Immortal Sect is all sitting on high-quality spirit stone veins. Like the Lingyun Immortal Sect, there are several high-quality spirit stone mines, so allocating some resources to the following sects is just a sprinkling of water for them. Gu Jiu's current Lingxue Mountain Sect has no mineral veins and mainly relies on a small weapon refining business at Baidu Peak. It was a chance that the Supreme Elder obtained a considerable amount of high-grade spiritual stones, which lasted for several hundred years. The sect only has two to three thousand people, and each disciple can only get an average of less than twenty ordinary spiritual stones in a month. Less than a hundred high-grade spiritual stones a year are enough to pay a disciple's salary. When Gu Jiu learned about these circumstances, he gave Ji Chuxue a big thumbs up. He was really a good fairy in the world of immortality who was diligent and thrifty. It was no wonder that few people coveted Ji Chuxue as the leader of the sect was a pure cultivator.

"You brat, ask the sect master to bring you the spiritual soil this afternoon, and then follow me to collect the medicine."

"Oh, it's great to congratulate you that you are so motivated and motivated now." Gu Jiu joked.

Xu Yuhong raised his hand and wanted to hit him.

Gu Jiu jumped away with a smile and ran towards the kitchen.

After lunch, Gu Jiu was about to go to the main peak, but found that he was still in the land combat unit, "Master, you don't want me to run over, do you?"

"Don't you have a master? Let the girl take you there and get familiar with it. You have been staying at Danfeng for the past few years. It's time to walk around. By the way, you can register. You are also a disciple of Danfeng now."

After hearing this, Gu Jiu looked at Shen Nian excitedly.

"I can take you there, but..." Shen Nian cleverly seized the opportunity, "You know."

"What do you know?"

"Let's go, let's talk on the way." Shen Nian picked up Gu Jiu and left. She was afraid that Xu Yuhong would scold her if she told Gu Jiu to speak.
