Chapter 230: The fog is lost, and the moon is lost
As soon as the word Gu Chen came out, the audience exploded.
Huang Fuji's eyes were gloomy as if they were about to drip water; Shangguan Hong gritted his teeth with a look of disbelief; Tang Yurou hurriedly reached out to cover his small mouth that had opened due to excessive surprise; Feng Xueyao's eyes that had just calmed down released brilliance again.
Shi Mingze, Pang Zhenghao, and the other Platinum City disciples jumped up excitedly, and kept throwing Gu Chen's body up.
"Isn't it!"
"Mistaken, right? He's a member of the sect, why did he get the first place?"
"I don't believe it!"
"I don't believe it either!"
Many disciples, especially the disciples of the General Sect, clamored for it, and they all agreed that there must be something wrong with it.
Ye Qiuling raised his hand, pressed his palm down, and the audience fell silent again, "I know that this result is a surprise to many people, but this is the truth. The number of Heavenly Gang Beasts Gu Chen killed was thirty-one thousand eight hundred and thirty-four."
"Thirty-one thousand eight hundred and thirty-four?" The crowd was taken aback again, this data had already exceeded the data of the legendary senior brother back then.
"Could this data be fake?" said a disciple in the crowd.
Ye Qiuling's face sank, and he stared at the disciple who spoke out and scolded: "My Instrument Sect has a long heritage, and the trials have to be carried out every year, and the crystal ball has never made a mistake, how can there be a fake?
The disciple who spoke out was so frightened that he quickly bent his head.
Ye Qiuling turned his head to look at Gu Chen, his gaze softened a little, and said, "It is the blessing of my sect to have such an excellent disciple in the sect. However, Gu Chen, don't be complacent, spiritual cultivation is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and a momentary achievement is not considered an achievement."
Gu Chen clenched his fists and bowed, "Disciple remember the elder's teachings!"
"Hmm!" Ye Qiuling nodded, then turned to look at everyone again, and said, "All the top hundred disciples who have achieved excellent results in the trial will be rewarded. Gu Chen, because he won the first place, according to the usual practice, in addition to other rewards, he also awarded a Wuji Dan!"
"Thank you Elder Ye!" Gu Chen was overjoyed, his talent was only at the Xuan level, and after entering the Spirit Gathering Mirror, he found that the realm ascension speed was very slow. There is no way, no matter how hard Gu Chen tries, he is limited by his talent. However, with the Infinite Pill, Gu Chen's realm improvement speed might even surpass others.
"Don't thank me, this is the reward you deserve, and you have to work hard in the future. Ye Qiuling smiled gently, and then said, "Actually, this trial has another purpose."
"Just a few days ago, at the junction of my Jinling Empire and the Middle-earth Empire, an ancient tomb was discovered. The tomb is hidden under a lake and is protected by prohibitions. All spiritual cultivators above the Enlightenment Mirror will be attacked by the prohibition, while those below the Spiritual Enlightenment Mirror will not be activated by the prohibition."
"However, none of the Spirit Gathering Mirror Spiritual Cultivators who entered it to explore the tomb before came out. Later, when the other three empires learned of this, they also sent disciples to investigate, and the five empires were in the same spirit, and our Jinling Empire and the Middle Earth Empire were not easy to refuse. After deliberation, it was decided that each empire would send five elite disciples of the Gathering Spirit Realm to go."
"The top management of our Jinling Empire has unanimously decided to send the top four disciples of the Qi Sect this year's trial, namely Gu Chen, Feng Xueyao, Huangfu Ji, and Tang Yurou. In addition, I will arrange for a disciple who knows how to explore tombs to accompany the four of you."
Speaking of this, Elder Ye Qiuling's expression became solemn: "This tomb visit is regarded as a sect mission for you, you may encounter danger, you four must remember to be careful in everything." Huang Fuji, this time you will lead the team."
"Disciple obeys!" replied with his fists clenched, and he glanced at Gu Chen with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Time is pressing, I will send an iron-winged eagle to send you there, the four of you should prepare well, and set off at dawn tomorrow."
"I thought I could have more time to cultivate the Taiyi Tiangang body, but it seems that I can only slow down first. Gu Chen thought silently, and was about to leave with the large army, but found that Tang Yurou was walking towards him.
Tang Yurou walked in front of Gu Chen and didn't speak, staring at him directly.
"Ahem, Senior Sister Tang, is there something wrong?" asked Gu Chen with some embarrassment.
"Hehe!" Tang Yurou covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Senior Brother Gu, if you have time, the four of us will go out and drink a pot."
Gu Chen was about to refuse, but Tang Yurou continued: "Before going to the ancient tomb, everyone should familiarize themselves with it, and it will be convenient to cooperate when the time comes."
Gu Chen inadvertently glanced at Feng Xueyao, how could he hide from Tang Yurou, who was close at hand, with his small movements, "Don't worry, she will go too."
"Feng Xueyao is such a cold person Tang Yurou can please move, it seems that this Senior Sister Tang is not ordinary!" Nodding, Gu Chen said: "It's okay."
"Let's go!" Tang Yurou turned around and called Emperor Fu Ji and Feng Xue Yao, and the four of them walked outside the sect together.
Tang Yurou took the three of them to a three-story luxury restaurant called Mochiyue Tower, and asked for the only private room on the third floor, which was divided into primary and secondary seats.
"Although Mochizuki Tower is not the most luxurious restaurant in Yindu, if the wheel is clean and elegant, there is no restaurant comparable to here. Tang Yurou introduced with a smile.
Gu Chen looked around, the surroundings were antique, the walls were full of master-level calligraphy and paintings, it was not like a restaurant, but like a book pavilion. The huge carved windows face the sparkling lake, and if you look at the moon at night, the view is sure to be beautiful.
Gu Chen exclaimed: "The fog is lost in the building, the moon is lost, this Moon Tower, it is indeed a good place."
Tang Yurou pursed her lips and smiled, as if she remembered something, and asked: "I take the liberty of asking, I don't know if Senior Brother Gu is Gui Geng this year?
There is no need to hide this kind of thing, Gu Chen replied honestly: "I just turned fourteen!"
"Fourteen?" Don't talk about Tang Yurou, even the emperor was extremely surprised.
"Isn't it that Senior Brother Gu has only been in the sect for two years?" Tang Yurou asked again.
"Exactly!"
Tang Yurou was also a little shocked, and continued: "Senior Brother Gu is really amazingly talented, he entered the sect a year later than us, but he is already ahead of us."
Stretching out his hand and stroking his chest, digesting the shock in his heart, Tang Yurou asked again: "Senior Brother Gu's realm has improved so fast, and his combat power is amazing, it should be a heaven-level golden spirit!"
Tang Yurou's question made Gu Chen embarrassed.
Tang Yurou also saw it, and hurriedly said, "It's me who is abrupt."
Gu Chen pursed his lips and smiled bitterly, "My talent is only yellow level!"
"Yellow level!" Huang Fu jumped up and said, "Impossible, yellow level talent, how can the realm improvement speed be so fast!"
"Cultivating with several times more time than others, taking risks that others dare not take, everything is possible. Gu Chen said calmly.
"Fourteen years old! Yellow-level talent! This Gu Chen is not simple. Huang Fu put away the contempt in his heart.
A pair of intellectual eyes on Tang Yu's pretty face stared at Gu Chen, as if she had reacquainted with him.
Feng Xueyao's cold eyes suddenly had a layer of mist, and a strong sense of sadness filled her heart, "What's wrong with me?"
