Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Chapter 377 The Item That Grants Life

第 374

After listening to Ruan Ayao's explanation, Zhu Wuyao roughly understood the uses of these two items.

This medicinal herb is called Boundless Ginseng.

Approximately seven thousand spirit stones.

It is a rare and precious medicinal herb. The reason it is being traded is because of its high price, but it is of little use to Ruan Ayao.

If the Boundless Ginseng is used for alchemy, it can only be used as a supplementary ingredient.

The main and auxiliary medicines to be selected must cost at least 20,000 spirit stones to maximize their effectiveness, allowing the cultivator's divine sense to become vast and boundless.

If ingested directly, it can enhance the compatibility between the soul and body of the person being possessed.

Therefore, this item was truly useless to Ruan Ayao.

But it made Zhu Wuyao somewhat tempted.

After all, as a time traveler, she was not far from being a possessor.

Zhu Wuyao shifted his gaze to another box.

The ritual implement in the box was a bell.

It seemed to be something crafted by the Taibai Sect itself. After hearing the introduction, Zhu Wuyao realized that this thing was like a substitute for the Pinghe Cauldron.

It also causes a stun effect on the enemy.

If she didn't have the Pinghe Ding in her possession, she would probably have preferred the bell in this box.

Seeing that Zhu Wuyao had closed the golden bell box, Ruan Ayao was quite surprised and asked:

I thought you would choose the other one.

"Let's see if we can gather the remaining spiritual herbs for the Vast Expanse Pill. Ultimately, external improvements can't compare to the enhancement of one's own abilities."

It's used to enhance spiritual affinity, so naturally it's not something to tell outsiders.

Zhu Wuyao began to examine the stack of talismans and pills.

Most of them are well-known hard currencies, so they are quite reasonable.

Unlike the contents of those two boxes, which were clearly like Zhu Wuyao's, they were clearing out their old stock.

The two exchanged the useless items they had.

Ruan Ayao obtained a batch of standard magical artifacts and talismans. She couldn't use these things openly, but after handing them over to the sect, the elders "restored" them to good condition, making them clean and usable magical artifacts again.

Zhu Wuyao received 9,000 spirit stones, a Boundless Ginseng worth 7,000 spirit stones, and talismans and pills worth 5,000 spirit stones.

Two-thirds of the stolen goods remain.

"When are we going?" Ruan Ayao asked.

"I will come to you at midnight tonight."

Ruan Ayao received the specific time, nodded, and then casually asked:

"Who is the person I need to protect, and what is their relationship with you?"

"So I can weigh how much effort I should put in during this critical moment."

Although it's a favor-based transaction, if Zhu Wuyao is truly someone of vital importance, then when it's time to fight, we should still give it our all.

This really stumped Zhu Wuyao.

Her relationship with Ge Mingsheng was probably one of "seeing the Buddha through to the West"?

After a moment's thought, Zhu Wuyao said:

"Is he the apprentice I found for Gu Yiguan...?"

Ruan Ayao paused with her chopsticks and asked:

"She hasn't even become the sect leader yet, and she's already so blatantly cultivating her own henchmen?"

Could it be that Master Fang of the Star-Picking Tower is nearing the end of his life?

Zhu Wuyao felt that these words were a bit unpleasant to hear.

But upon closer examination, that's pretty much the gist of it. Aren't Song Kezi and that Yi Tian just her henchmen?

But he still shook his head and said:

"This is not someone she trained; I forced her on her. Senior Sister Gu hasn't met her yet, but you'll know once you do. She's quite methodical in her work, and in terms of decisiveness, she's probably a bit better than me."

Ruan Ayao remained noncommittal.

She had never met the person Zhu Wuyao mentioned.

But looking at Zhu Wuyao across from him, who was eating stir-fried wild mushrooms, he thought of how she had overturned the Juque Sect's garrison in just three days.

Ruan Ayao found it hard to imagine what it meant to be "more decisive and even more so than her".

Could it be that they intend to kill everyone from the four sects?

Ruan Ayao shook her head and smiled.

night.

It is not yet midnight.

After hesitating for a long time, Zhu Wuyao decided to send a message to Gu Yiguan.

This far southern land is on the verge of chaos. After meeting the imposter Master Wuyan, we can't just entrust Ge Mingsheng to the Taibai Sect, who also has to go out on an adventure.

But she was eager to try her luck, yet unwilling to let Ge Mingsheng wander in the chaotic world.

This one-way, one-time message has a limited number of characters that can be transmitted, so please be concise and to the point.

"In the name of Daoist Wuyan, you killed thirty or forty Juque Sect cultivators and were with Ruan Ayao. Tongzhou is in danger of chaos, so I found you a disciple. If it's convenient, come and take him away. I'll also give you a communication talisman. You're about to be hunted down."

"It's urgent."

The light of the communication talisman in front of him dimmed.

Zhu Wuyao sighed softly.

If Gu Yiguan really comes, then this far south is really going to become lively.

Star-catching tower.

Where are you going?

Gu Yiguan was saying goodbye to Sect Leader Fang.

Although Sect Leader Fang knows a lot of things, he doesn't want to know everything.

For example, she didn't expect that she had originally planned to take advantage of Gu Yiguan's business within the sect and travel around.

Gu Yiguan actually tried to run away before she could.

Master Fang took the transcribed letter and heard Gu Yiguan say:

"I saw that I had a master-disciple relationship, which ended up in the far south."

After reading it, Sect Leader Fang asked:

"Are you going to fulfill your master-disciple bond, to protect Zhu Wuyao, or to see an old friend?"

Gu Yiguan made no attempt to hide his true feelings and stated directly:

"Since it can achieve three things at once, we should definitely go and make the trip."

"Many years ago, I was fortunate enough to enter the Nascent Soul stage. If given the opportunity, I would like to seek out the 'life-granting item' used in divination cultivation."

Of the four major sects, Zhaixinglou is the most powerful.

One of the most important reasons why the current peace has been maintained, despite some friction, has never escalated into full-scale warfare, is the presence of Master Fang.

She has a powerful move that's almost like "living as long as heaven and earth".

Under certain circumstances, one's cultivation level can rise to almost the level of a Nascent Soul cultivator, making one an incomplete number one in the world. This can be used to intimidate, but not to contend for supremacy.

This is the pinnacle of the art of divination.

Compared to other Taoist traditions, the divination practice is actually much inferior, and it is difficult to achieve any significant results. As a result, it is not very effective in combat.

D.

Under the restriction of "not allowing the Nascent Soul stage to emerge," divination cultivators have an extremely demanding path to the top, and the necessary prerequisite for achieving such unparalleled cultivation is—

Find the "life-granting item" that was lost at the ends of the earth.

It could be a leaf, a person, or a memory.

Those who are destined to practice divination will, without even realizing it, reveal their own fate and the end of their destiny through a certain object.

But then it was lost.

Just like the story in "The Immortal in the Mortal World", one suddenly looks back and discovers the shrine and incense on the altar, and then has a great enlightenment.

Its essence is—

By seizing one's own destiny from the Heavenly Dao, like an ouroboros with its head and tail connected, one can form one's own cause and effect, and at certain times, break free from the control of the Heavenly Dao.

Break through the upper limit of cultivation.

However, it would be more difficult for Gu Yiguan to take this path.

Due to her temperament, it's difficult for her to say anything that "unintentionally" determines the course of her life.

Even Gu Yiguan wasn't sure if he actually possessed this destined treasure.

This item will not be damaged.

It will always find the safest place for itself.
