In the living room of Feihua Courtyard, Ximen Fei glanced at Gu Xuan: "I remember the night when Nangong Yan challenged Brother Shu, Grandpa once praised, with that set of swordsmanship alone, Brother Shu is enough to become the first person in the villa, not to mention that now the cultivation has risen sharply, just Ximen Hao and Ximen Chime, like a clown jumping beam, why worry about it?"

"Uncle Yi has a good reputation. Gu Xuan smiled, "What else is there to say about the Grand Ceremony?"

Ximen Fei restrained his smile: "The grand ceremony lasts for three days, and after leaving the blessed land of Qianqiu, the main medicine of the three flavors of the elixir must be handed over to the imperial court, and the imperial court will refine the elixir in a unified manner, and then the value of the elixir will be handed over, and the corresponding elixir will be rewarded." ”

Gu Xuanyi raised his eyebrows: "That is to say, the more the three flavors of the main medicine are collected, the more rewards you will get for the spirit elixir." ”

"Exactly. Ximen Fei nodded, "There are not only many demons in the Qianqiu Blessed Land, but in order to compete for the elixir, the medicine pickers will also fight each other. According to the statistics of the imperial court, over the years, there have never been more than fifty percent of the people who have survived the ceremony, which is one of the reasons why I am reluctant to participate. ”

Gu Xuan's eyes were revealed: "The competition is so fierce, all the medicine pickers must be masters." ”

Ximen Fei continued: "As far as I know, every time the Dao Grand Ceremony, the Imperial Dynasty and the Three Great Dao Sects will send the True Power Realm team to participate in order to control the overall situation. The Imperial City has held a grand contest of warriors in the rivers and lakes, which will last for more than half a year. ”

......

The autumn breeze was bleak, Gu Xuan walked alone on the path, buried in contemplation, and didn't even hear a few subordinates saluting.

Suddenly, Gu Xuan tripped over a convex stone on the side of the road, stumbled and almost fell.

The master of the late stage of the dignified True Power Realm would actually be tripped up, Gu Xuan glanced at the convex stone, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Under the tree not far away, there was a row of stone chairs for enjoying the shade, and Gu Xuan walked over slowly and sat on the stone chair alone.

"Senior ......"

"The old man did not participate in the Taoist ceremony back then, and his knowledge is limited, so he can't provide more information. ”

"I'm asking about ways to increase my strength. Gu Xuan chuckled, "There are people outside the mountain, and there are people outside the mountain, with my current state, I don't even have the power of thought, so I have to take precautions." ”

Wang Mang was silent for a long time: "Your strength is strong enough, if you want to go further, you can originally cultivate the void energy, and only part of the true power will be converted into the void energy, with your true power reserves, it will not affect the advancement at all, but the display of the void strength requires the cooperation of mental power." ”

If it weren't for Wang Mang mentioning it, Gu Xuan had almost forgotten the harvest of the secret passage in Lingshan, and at that time, he glanced at the record of the scroll in a hurry, and didn't pay too much attention to it, and secretly decided to read it again.

"After the Grand Ceremony, if you can get enough Spirit Summoning Pill, you can directly impact the Gangli Realm, and you don't need to cultivate Void Strength at all. Gu Xuan sighed lightly, "What else is there to do?"

"Secret methods, exotic treasures, and runic treasures can all quickly increase their strength, but treasures are hard to find, and they need a certain chance. Wang Mang paused slightly, "It doesn't matter if the Imperial City and the major markets don't go, every time on the eve of the Grand Ceremony, the price of any treasure that enhances combat power will increase several times, and there is no market." ”

Gu Xuan sighed secretly, his own worth is not enough for others to stuff their teeth.

Wang Mang continued: "There are still three months before Dabi, and the old man suggests that you go out of the village, because with the luck you have accumulated during the retreat, once you leave the village, there is a great possibility of harvesting. ”

"Since the beginning of the monasticism, most of the opportunities have come from outside the village, and it is good to go out for a walk. Gu Xuan thought for a moment, "With my current cultivation, can the true power reserves still increase?"

Wang Mang said: "The effect of the lower grade Yangli Pill is not much, and it is best to use the middle grade Dan." ”

Gu Xuan thought about it and was about to say something more, when his expression suddenly moved.

Wang Mang spoke up at the same time: "You are not mistaken, there is a familiar telekinesis of the old man wandering around. ”

Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows, and Lu Biao's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Although I haven't cultivated my mental power, I can feel it, so I can come to the Gnosis Garden quickly, and I will find you if I have something." ”

Wang Mang hurriedly said: "Lu Biao's mental strength is comparable to that of divine consciousness, so he can transmit sound from a distance. Even so, he won't be able to hear you, so he can go with confidence. ”

......

The Lingzhi Garden is a garden-style courtyard house, planted with all the elixirs next to the West Gate, where Lu Biao cultivated.

As soon as he came to the main gate of the Gnosis Garden, Gu Xuan saw the butler on the steps.

This person's name is Ximen Zhi, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, long beard fluttering, the same generation as Ximen Yi, and he cultivated in the later stage of the Zhenli Realm.

Ximen Zhi's eyes were like torches, his hands twisted his long beard, and he smiled first: "Under the order of the owner, I am here to welcome the young master of the book." I haven't seen him for two years, and the young master of the book is even more demeanor than in the past, and he can be a model for the Taoist seedlings of the villa. ”

Gu Xuan hadn't seen each other at all, his hands arched, and his face was full of smiles: "There is a steward who knows how to deign to greet him, and this young master really doesn't want to go." ”

Ximen Zhi stopped talking nonsense, and stretched out his hand: "Young Master Shu, please, the owner of the village is fishing in the pond." ”

The Gnosis Garden is beautiful step by step, Gu Xuan followed the West Gate to turn around and come to a pond.

Lu Biao really sat in the pavilion fishing, and Ximen Zhi stood outside the pavilion and bowed down to report: "Qiqi Zhuang Master, Dao Miao Ximen Shu brought." ”

"Be quiet, don't scare the fish away, you go down first. Lu Biao didn't reply, "Ximen Shu, come in by yourself, let's talk." ”

"The little one quits. Ximen Zhi responded respectfully and hurriedly left.

Wang Mang couldn't help but snort secretly: "This guy is still that virtuous, and in front of his own housekeeper, he must also have a good tone." ”

Gu Xuan slowly walked into the pavilion and stood behind Lu Biao: "Owner." ”

Lu Biao turned around and smiled, flicked his big sleeves, and a brown futon flew out of it and landed on the ground beside him.

"And this place is regarded as a scholar's courtyard, so you don't need to be formal, please sit. ”

Gu Xuanpan sat on the futon, glanced at the bamboo fishing rod, which was no different from ordinary fishing rods, and then looked at the pond, and saw no swimming fish at all.

"The owner is so focused, the fish in the pond want to be a little famous. ”

"This is a swordbone fish, the meat is delicious, contains aura, and it is not an ordinary fish species. I used Gangli as bait to lure them into the bait, and after a few times, the fish became very cautious, and I had to be patient enough to catch one. ”

The autumn wind blew, and the pool surface rippled slightly, Lu Biao explained first, and then slowly got down to business.

"I specially called you here this time to tell you something important, but remember that I mentioned that there will be some variables in this ceremony?"

Gu Xuan's expression moved, and he hurriedly said in a straight voice: "The old teachings of the owner of the village are still in my ears, don't dare to forget them." ”

Lu Biao nodded with satisfaction: "Chi Lao Zu didn't say it explicitly, but after many inquiries in the Imperial City, I finally learned the details." ”

Gu Xuan continued: "Asking the grand ceremony is very important to Zaixia, I don't know what variables there are?"

"For you, this is a big opportunity. Lu Biao paused slightly, "In this grand ceremony, the imperial court will organize ten powerful masters to jointly explore the mysterious area of the Thousand Autumns Blessed Land, and each explorer will be rewarded with a medium-grade spirit elixir. ”

"Zhongpin Summoning Spirit Pill!" Gu Xuan exclaimed, his eyes fiery, "What is the mysterious area?"

Lu Biao said slowly: "The mysterious area is a barren land in the blessed land of thousands of years, it appeared about a hundred years ago, it was only a small area at first, and then gradually expanded, there is no grass in the secret land, once the medicine picker enters the depths of the secret land, not only is he lost in it, he can't identify the direction, and even his memory is confused. ”

Gu Xuan couldn't help but look surprised, and he didn't know how to respond.

Lu Biao turned to explain: "In previous years' Asking Dao Ceremony, there were many medicine pickers who broke into the secret place, some fell, and some survived, but the survivors couldn't remember the experience in the secret place. ”

Gu Xuan asked again and again, "Why is this happening? Have you ever explored secret places before?"

"The Thousand Autumn Blessed Land is an important guarantee for the cultivation world of the Xi Kingdom, so naturally it cannot be allowed to expand in secret. Twenty years ago, at the Asking Dao Festival, Emperor Xi sent two teams of powerful battle cultivators to explore the secret land, but only two survived. ”

Lu Biao mentioned the fishing rod, but the fish didn't take the bait, so he put it down again.

"Emperor Xi searched for the souls of those two people, and the memories of the secret place were chaotic and blurry. Emperor Xi believes that there are foreign objects in the secret land that disturb the heavenly machine, and it is related to the catastrophe of heaven and earth in the underworld. ”

Gu Xuanxin had doubts, hesitated slightly, and said bluntly: "As far as I know, only those who are below the Gangli Realm can enter the Thousand Autumns Blessed Land. ”

Lu Biao patiently explained: "There is a distraction in the Faxiang Realm, seal the Faxiang distraction in the jade talisman, and then untie the jade talisman seal when you enter the Qianqiu blessed land, so that the Faxiang distraction can send a medicine picker, which is equivalent to Emperor Xi coming in person." ”

Gu Xuan was confused when he heard it, and it was difficult to ask deeply: "I don't know how to allocate the exploration quota?"

"There are two people from each of the three great sects, and one person from each of the four great families, no matter the result, everyone can get a medium-grade spirit elixir. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Biao glanced at Gu Xuan, his gaze like a blade.

"As long as you take the first place in Simon Dabi, the owner of this village will make sure that you become an explorer. ”

Gu Xuan's heart was full of admiration, his expression was firm, and he was categorical: "Thank you to the owner for your love and make up your mind to do your best." ”

Lu Biao turned his head and his expression returned to normal: "It is difficult to collect more than a hundred years of elixir in the Thousand Autumn Blessed Land, and the main elixir of the Evoking Pill is even only twenty or thirty years old. ”

Wang Mang spoke up: "Ask what will happen if the exploration of the secret place fails." ”

Hearing Gu Xuanlian's question, Lu Biao did not hide it: "If the exploration fails, the next time I ask the Dao Grand Ceremony, all the elixirs in the Thousand Autumn Blessed Land will be removed, and a blockade array will be set up to prevent the secret land from spreading on a large scale." ”

Gu Xuan sighed lightly: "It seems that this Asking Ceremony is the only chance to advance to the Gang Force Realm. ”

Lu Biao turned to explain: "This matter is still secret, just know it in your heart, and don't spread it." ”

Gu Xuan hurriedly promised: "The owner of the village can rest assured, and he is tight-lipped when he makes up his mind." ”

Lu Biao said: "My original promise is still valid, and if the grand ceremony is coming, you can make a request." ”

Gu Xuan said without hesitation: "I want to enhance the strength of the treasure." ”

Lu Biao flicked his sleeves, and three skull-shaped jade talismans flew out, hovering in front of Gu Xuan.

"This nameless secret talisman is a secret treasure of the Demon Dao, which can use real power to stimulate a black ball of light, so that the rune treasure can be broken and can be used to trap the enemy. ”
