Master, you go first!

Gu Jiu came to Jinyang City and entered the city as a mortal using his previous identity of Linhu Town.

Jinyang City is a city where immortals and mortals coexist.

The towering city walls were lined with soldiers, and some were patrolling back and forth. Some of them held spears and some wore swords on their waists, watching closely the situation below the city.

On the streets of the city, people wearing all kinds of clothes are bustling with people in an endless stream. Among these people are businessmen, ordinary people, and some cultivators. Shops and stalls on both sides of the street were shouting and shouting, attracting people's attention.

Most of the shops are shops for mortals, and there is a special place in the city called [Fairy Spirit Street] where the spirits of cultivators gather.

This big city is lively and prosperous. Here, people can feel the atmosphere of cultivating immortals and experience the life of mortals.

Gu Jiu was walking in the street at this time and did not go to Xianling Street. He was wearing a white robe, which didn't match the short hair he had just cut before wearing it.

But he didn't care, he just didn't want to grow his hair long anymore. People passing by would be more or less attracted by his strange hairstyle.

Jinyang City was really too big, bigger than any city he had been to before. Gu Jiu walked for a long time and still hadn't reached the center of the city.

At this time, he was aimless and didn't know where he was going, so he randomly found an inn to stay.

It is an inn for mortals, and you can stay there for less than a tael of silver. Gu Jiu directly set a month's time.

The first and second floors of the inn were places for people to eat. Gu Jiu found a place to sit down, asked the waiter to serve some food, ordered a bottle of wine, and started drinking by himself.

He didn't know where to go, so he looked to see if anyone had mentioned any good places to visit.

Now Gu Jiu didn't think about cultivation, he just wanted to look around.

With his hearing at the stage of pill formation, he could hear clearly what the customers eating on the second floor said.

"Hey, have you heard that there are soul-destroying sharks appearing on the west coast again?"

"Why did the monster appear again? Didn't the Chiyang Immortal Sect send an immortal master to destroy it before?"

"I don't know, maybe he swam here from other places. Anyway, it's best not to go to the west coast recently.

I heard that fishermen are afraid to go into the sea to fish. "

"Did the emperor ask the immortal masters from Chiyang Immortal Sect to help kill this thing?"

"There should be, otherwise there will be no fish in the sea to eat in the future. Can he be willing? Haha."

"I heard that this monster is very powerful. Only a Nascent Soul cultivator can deal with it."

"That's true, otherwise the casual cultivators in the city would have hunted it long ago, and they wouldn't be able to defeat it."

……

"The seaside, not bad, then go to the seaside and have a look." Gu Jiu said to himself.

He remembered that he had been to the beach, but Shen Nian had not yet. The closest he got to the beach was when he took her to the Haiyan Sect Spiritual Gathering.

Although Pingjing Lake looks like the sea, it is not the sea after all.

As soon as he left, Gu Jiu drank the wine in the pot in one gulp. After throwing down a piece of silver, he got up and walked towards the west coast.

He is not in a hurry. Anyway, besides time, he has nothing else.

By the time he walked slowly to the beach, it was already midnight.

I found a huge rock and climbed up to it with a few jumps.

He leaned against another rock and sat down.

At this time, the sea surface was dark, and a waning moon hung in the sky. Only a faint ray of moonlight shone on the sea surface.

"There is a bright moon on the sea, haha, the moon is not too bright tonight."

Gu Jiu took out the music box, opened it, looked at the sea in the distance, listened to the tinkling sound like wind chimes, and felt the environment far away from the hustle and bustle.

No one fishes, and everyone who lives by the sea has moved away.

Those who dare to come here now may be immortal cultivators like him, or people from the Chiyang Immortal Sect who come to hunt monsters.

Time passed by, and Gu Jiu didn't notice any movement of the demon fish.

After a long time, he was staring blankly at the dancing shadow on the music box.

Two whooshing sounds came from the horizon.

Gu Jiu put away the box and looked in the direction of the visitor. They were two monks, a man and a woman.

The man probably has the cultivation level of the late stage of pill formation, while the woman is only in the middle stage of pill formation.

Both of them were wearing crimson sect costumes. They must be monks sent by Chiyang Sect to hunt monsters.

Gu Jiu ignored them and sat on the rock alone.

The two monks spotted Gu Jiu and flew closer but did not sense the monk's aura on Gu Jiu.

But when Gu Jiu put away the box just now, the female monk really saw it. I was endlessly curious, that thing should be a magic weapon. If this person were a mortal, how could he drive the magic weapon?

And he dared to come to the beach alone so late at night.

Perhaps he was a rogue cultivator with advanced cultivation. Based on this speculation, the female cultivator did not show any disrespect at all. She flew closer and asked,

"I would like to ask this fellow Taoist, have you found any traces of the soul-destroying shark?"

Gu Jiu shook his head and said he didn't see it.

Seeing Gu Jiu shaking his head, the female cultivator did not ask any more questions, and continued flying along the coastline with the male cultivator. However, before leaving, she glanced at Gu Jiu curiously, perhaps because she was attracted by his box just now.

After the two of them walked away, Gu Jiu took out the box and opened it to look at it.

It was close to dawn, and the sky began to slowly light up. Facing the west, Gu Jiu couldn't see the sunrise over the sea, which was a bit regretful.

After putting the box away, he stood up and looked at the seabirds flying back and forth on the shore. There was light under his feet. He ducked and caught one back, which scared the bird and screamed wildly.

"Here you take a pill. Stop barking." Gu Jiu took out a low-level pill with mild potency and stuffed it into the seabird's mouth.

After taking one, the bird felt the nourishment of the elixir, and its eyes widened in disbelief.

Gu Jiu laughed so amusedly that he raised his hand and threw it away, returning to freedom again.

Gu Jiu had had enough of letting the seabirds fly, and wanted to go back to the inn to rest for two days and then see where else he could go.

At this time, the pair of monks fled and returned. The male monk was seriously injured and fell into a coma. The female monk flew back quickly with his sword on her back.

His face was anxious, and it seemed that he had never been beaten before and was seriously injured by the monster fish.

Gu Jiu scratched his head, hey, fighting and killing, and then living and dying in the world of immortality is really boring.

He ignored them and turned around to walk back.

However, when the female cultivator saw Gu Jiu leaping onto the coast and heading back, she quickly chased after him.

"Fellow Taoist, can you help treat my senior brother?" She said very urgently.

"We came from the Chiyang Immortal Sect for training, and our senior brother was seriously injured by the demon fish."

Gu Jiu stopped and looked back. He was indeed seriously injured, and he did have pills that could save people. Before leaving the sect, Lao Xu gave him a lot of good things.

Seeing his senior brother's dying appearance, the female cultivator was extremely anxious. She frowned and even changed her title in anxiety.

"Senior, please, I'm afraid that senior brother won't be able to return to the sect."
