Master, you go first!

After entering the study room, Elder Gu muttered with the Peak Master for a while, and probably told him about Gu Jiu's performance in the competition.

The peak master nodded,

"Okay, then Gu Jiu will stay and study with Elder Gu."

It turned out that Elder Gu wanted to accept Gu Jiu as his disciple.

After leaving the study, Gu Jiu took the opportunity to ask,

"Elder Gu, which peak does our sect's Fire Spirit Root disciples usually go to?"

"Elder, please call me master. Follow me and practice more seriously from now on." Elder Gu was obviously not satisfied with Gu Jiu's title. "If you have fire spirit roots, you will usually enter the Immortal Flame Peak. What's wrong?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I had a classmate who came here two years before me. I want to go over and see her when I have the opportunity."

Elder Gu nodded to express his understanding.

Later, Gu Jiu followed him to the residential area behind the main hall of Xianluo Peak. Elder Gu said,

"This is the residential area. You can choose a courtyard to live in. There is also a cave in the back mountain. The cultivation environment there will be much better, but it requires contributions from the sect to redeem it. You are just starting out and have no contribution, so you will live here first."

"Okay master."

Gu Jiu responded and found a courtyard to live in. It was a simple courtyard with nothing special about it.

Before Elder Gu left, he asked Gu Jiu to find him in his cave tomorrow morning and start studying.

After Elder Gu left, Gu Jiu took Xiaobai out of his arms.

"Bai, please help me clean up."

Xiaobai rubbed his sleepy eyes, nodded and turned into a girl to get up and clean up. The little hands were waving back and forth, and the yard was swept clean in no time.

Gu Jiu looked at the clean yard and couldn't help but feel that it was a good thing for Xiaobai to follow.

"Brother, what should we do next?"

"Didn't you hear just now? Shen Nian may be at the Immortal Flame Peak, but let's see what the ancient elder's arrangements are tomorrow. If you have time, go there and have a look."

"Oh, do you know where the Immortal Flame Peak is?"

"I don't know, you can ask. Let's rest today and see what happens tomorrow."

"Yeah." Xiaobai nodded, turned into a fox and jumped to Gu Jiu's pillow to roll up and sleep.

It was getting late now and it was going to be night soon, so Gu Jiu took a rest.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, as the morning light fell on Xianluo Peak, Gu Jiu stood up, crumpled Xiaobai into a small ball and stuffed it into his arms, and then went to the back mountain to find Elder Gu.

The back mountain of Xianluo Peak was very large, with many caves. Gu Jiu didn't know where they were, so he flew around the back mountain.

Elder Gu sensed someone wielding a sword in the back mountain. When he left the cave, he saw Gu Jiu looking for him. He waved to Gu Jiu to come into his cave.

The cave doesn't look big, but there is a cave inside. It must have been created using space formations. There are mountains and water, just like a small world.

Gu Jiu followed to Elder Gu's residence, which was a three-story wooden building. Elder Gu spoke,

"I saw that the formation you used during the competition was very strange, and what kind of formation it was that formed the formation at that moment."

Gu Jiu scratched his head. It turned out that the elder didn't know these things yet, so he probably didn't want him to teach the formation in turn.

Gu Jiuzhi said,

"What formed the formation in that moment was not the formation, but my talent. It was innate."

Elder Gu nodded. He had been in the Immortal Sect for so long, and he had also seen that some disciples had talents.

Now that Gu Jiu said that, he didn't ask any more questions and asked Gu Jiu to go to his building to pick out a few formations and go back to study them, and then come back to him to see how he learned them.

"Master, can I usually go to other peaks to find other disciples?"

"Yes, but you can't neglect your training and study. In addition to cultivating the realm, we formation masters also have to spend a lot of time studying formations, so we'd better focus more on this."

"Okay, I understand, thank you, master."

In fact, Gu Jiu still didn't know the name of the ancient elder, and the old man didn't tell him. Anyway, Gu Jiu just did the due etiquette.

After receiving the information and body tokens, Gu Jiu returned to his residence. He took it out and looked at it, studied it for a while, and found that the formation was not too difficult. It was much simpler than what he had learned from the ancient books in the inner volume.

However, some of the things in it have different applications, so you can use them as a reference to improve your own formation strength.

After a cursory look, Gu Jiu put away the formation information. He took out his pen and ink and prepared to write a letter to Shen Nian, telling her that he was going to find her.

Xiaobai came over. Gu Jiu pushed him away.

"Go away and don't peek at my letters again."

Xiaobai sat a little further away noncommittally and laughed.

Gu Jiu ignored her and started writing a letter to Shen Nian. The letter flew away, Xiaobai nodded and said,

"It's still so disgusting. Hey, senior brother, I can't tell you are such a person."

"I..." Gu Jiu swooped down, grabbed Xiao Bai and started rubbing him, as if he were playing with a fur ball.

"Let you peek, let you peek."

Xiao Baicai giggled and begged for mercy.

The letter flew to Xianyan Peak and Zhumo Cave Mansion.

Shen Nian opened the letter and read it for a long time, not knowing how to reply to Gu Jiu. The letter said that Gu Jiu had arrived at Xianluo Peak and was going to find her at Xianyan Peak.

While Shen Nian was in a daze, Gu Jiu had already left the residence with Xiaobai. On the way, he asked someone about the location of Xianyan Peak and rushed towards the direction of Xianyan Peak.

"Bai, do you think she will be surprised? We haven't seen her for so long."

"Yeah, yeah. You must be very happy. I'm happy too. I wonder what the master has become after not seeing him for two years. Will he look better again?"

"It's necessary. How about we go down the mountain with her later to visit the mortal city. It's been a long time since the three of us went together."

"Yeah, okay, okay, let's go find something to eat."

……

One person and one fox, while rushing on the road, they imagined what they would do after meeting.

However, when he came to Xianyan Peak, Gu Jiu met the disciples of Xianyan Peak and asked several people, but no one knew about Shen Nian.

It's like I don't miss this person at all. Gu Jiu was confused, found a place to rest, and grabbed Xiao Bai from his arms.

"Xiao Bai, what's going on? Why aren't you here? It's impossible."

Xiaobai blinked her eyes in confusion, and then she hid in Gu Jiu's arms and fell asleep.

Gu Jiu thought for a while and said,

"Xiao Bai, they all said there is no such person as Shen Nian. You try and see if you can smell her scent."

Only then did Xiao Bai come to his senses. It turned out that he had not found Shen Nian. It was easy to smell.

Xiaobai used her monster instinct and looked around with her nose twitching. Xiaobai said,

"It seems to be there but not there. I don't know how it could be like this. There seems to be a very weak smell."

Shen Nian was imprisoned in the cave by Zhu Mo. Perhaps there were restrictions in the cave that prevented the smell from coming out.

What Xiao Bai smelled might be the smell that Shen Nian passed by before, but it was so far away that it almost disappeared.
