Chapter 144: Return to the Nine Heavens
More than a month later, Gu Changsheng returned to the Yunlong Mountain Range, and it took him nearly four years to go out this time, which was more than half a year longer than the time limit stipulated by Jiuxiaomen.
On this day, Elder Han came to Tianji Pavilion as usual to start his talisman making work, and at this time, there was already an apprentice disciple by his side.
Since receiving the news that the Ghost Emperor had appeared in Qingyuan City, Gu Changsheng has not returned for a long time, and everyone in Jiuxiao Gate has concluded that Gu Changsheng has an accident and will not be able to come back.
Elder Han quickly forgot about Gu Changsheng, he was more concerned about the two lineage apprentices he had cultivated, although those two were still a little stretched.
Moreover, Gu Changsheng may threaten his position in the future, after all, in terms of the purity of the spiritual root, he is far inferior to this young man, as long as this person can break through the foundation building period, he will definitely be able to gain attention, and sooner or later he will ride on his head.
Just as Elder Han was in a beautiful mood to put pen to paper, suddenly the white light of the wooden door in front of him flashed, and then it was pushed open with a click, and then a person with a spring breeze on his face walked in from outside, it was the Gu Changsheng who had not returned for a long time.
It took a long time for Elder Han to react, and he was suddenly shocked, hurriedly took a few steps forward, and said with a complaining mouth:
"You kid, you know you're coming back! You went home to keep filial piety and did not return for more than half a year, according to the door rules...... Hey! You......! ”
Before he opened his mouth to say a few words, Elder Han's eyes suddenly widened like copper bells, and then he wiped his eyes with his hands, and carefully looked Gu Changsheng up and down a few times, and he was stunned for a while, unable to say anything.
"Senior Brother Han, why are you glaring at me? Is there anything wrong? Gu Changsheng looked at Elder Han, his eyes flashed, and he said with a light smile.
"You...... Your cultivation! Promoted at home? Now you're in the foundation building period? Elder Han finally came back to his senses, his face was panicked, and his voice was still a little stammering.
"Hmmm! With the help of my father's friend, I was able to recuperate. My father also left me a Tsukidan, and after I dealt with my parents' funeral, I went into retreat and took the Tsukidan. As a result, he successfully passed the level, and is now a monk in the foundation building period. Gu Changsheng put on an understated expression, smiled and made up a story.
"Building a foundation at home? Still getting help from a master? ”
Elder Han still couldn't believe it! It's a rare treasure to get in Zhuji Dan these years, and it's a bit incredible that an ordinary immortal cultivator family can actually come up with one!
"yes, is there a problem with that?" Gu Changsheng still had a faint expression, glanced at the other party, and said with a smile.
He took advantage of the situation to release the coercion of the foundation building period cultivator, forcing that apprentice disciple back a few steps, making Elder Han a little unable to get off the stage.
Elder Han frowned, the words of scolding were still in his throat, and he paused for a moment but choked back these words.
The other party is no longer the apprentice disciple, but the identity of the same generation as him, since the other party takes the initiative to call him a senior brother, it is better not to take the initiative to provoke.
At this time, it is best to find a way to persuade this person to leave the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, which is crucial for him to retain his position as the sole talisman master.
"Of course there is no problem, Senior Brother Gu welcomes you back to Jiuxiao Gate, and congratulations on your cultivation!" Elder Han immediately changed his attitude and greeted him with a smile. Even the title was immediately changed to "Senior Brother Gu".
Elder Han knew very well in his heart that the strength of this immortal cultivation realm was supreme, and since this person had successfully built a foundation, even the head Ye Feng had to be polite to this person!
Gu Changsheng saw that the other party softened so quickly, and he was embarrassed to step on the other party's face again.
After all, it was Zhang Yi and Li San who were rude to themselves, and in the past, Elder Han was quite polite to him!
Thinking of this, Gu Changsheng's face softened, but he didn't speak again, but turned around and came to a chair next to him and sat down leisurely.
Elder Han comprehended, took the apprentice disciple away, and then sat down on the chair beside Gu Changsheng, and said with a smile:
"Senior Brother Gu was accepted as a disciple by Yunqing Senior Ancestor in the past, and your qualifications are extraordinary! Now that he has become a foundation building monk, why not return to Yunqing Shizu? It's much stronger than nesting in this Heavenly Machine Pavilion, if he can regain the reuse of Yunqing Senior Ancestor, Senior Brother Gu will definitely have a bright future! ”
As soon as Elder Han opened his mouth, he wanted to persuade him to leave the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, but he didn't even make a detour, it was really too straightforward! Gu Changsheng smiled bitterly in his heart.
However, Gu Changsheng also came to say goodbye to Elder Han this time, and Ye Feng had already informed him that there were new arrangements for him.
"Senior Brother Han, I am very comfortable staying in Tianji Pavilion, and you and I are also very happy to cooperate, why do you want to be so unsympathetic and drive me away!" Gu Changsheng pretended to be aggrieved.
"This spirit rune is a congratulatory gift, please accept it with a smile Senior Brother Gu, this Tianji Pavilion is indeed not suitable for you as a great talent, please consider Senior Brother's advice more!" Elder Han smiled and took out a Golden Yang Talisman from his sleeve and handed it over.
"Okay, I'll go and discuss this matter with the senior brother in charge, and I'll accept this congratulatory gift first." Gu Changsheng took the spirit talisman and hugged his fists in thanks.
The two gossiped a few more words, and then Gu Changsheng said goodbye.
Leaving the gate of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, looking at the Golden Yang Talisman in his hand, Gu Changsheng couldn't help but smile when he thought of Elder Han's shocked expression after he knew that he had been defrauded of a treasure spirit talisman.
Harnessing the bamboo leaf magic weapon, Gu Changsheng came to the Nine Heavens Hall and met the head Ye Feng.
Both sides gave a salute, and Ye Feng said solemnly: "Since you are already a monk in the foundation building period, you can call me Senior Brother Ye in the future!" ”
Gu Changsheng nodded with a smile, if the other party knew that he had an immortal soul, I don't know if he would call him a senior. Anyway, during this time, it was already a bit pleasant to hear those old ancestors and monsters in the Yuan Infant Stage call him 'senior'.
Next, Ye Feng led Gu Changsheng into the back hall of the Nine Heavens Hall. Then they came to a jade table and sat down separately, and asked the disciples to make a good pot of tea.
Not long after the two sat down, Ye Feng couldn't wait to ask about the appearance of the Ghost Emperor in Qingyuan City, and also asked Gu Changsheng about the process of detoxification and foundation building and some details by the way.
Gu Changsheng naturally knew how to fool the other party, and he did not hide the other party's return to the ghost emperor, and attributed the bloody disaster in Qingyuan City to the result of the infighting between the two husbands and wives of the Taiqing Ancestor.
Because this is the most popular theory in the market, the other party should have heard about it.
Regarding the matter of his foundation building, he lifted the non-existent master out and told Ye Feng that the foundation building pill was bought from the other party, and the price was to hand over the Gu family's medicinal herb business.
Although Gu Changsheng's statement was a bit bizarre, it was also in line with common sense, Ye Feng nodded frequently when he heard it, and he was surprised by the "tsk", attributing his success in building the foundation to a coincidence.
"Senior Brother Gu! I've heard for a long time that this Tsukidan should be extinct in the community! It's true that you don't have the qualifications of Lei Linggen, but if you can find a qualified Zhuji Dan, I can only say that the junior brother is lucky! Moreover, that master also helped you to adjust your body, so that you can return to the peak state of qi refining in a short period of time, which must have cost a huge price! ”
Because Gu Changsheng was once a disciple of Yunqing Master Ancestor, Ye Feng was already very familiar with him, so he didn't have much estimation when he spoke, he didn't hide his envy at all, and even a trace of jealousy appeared on his face.
"Huh! This can only be said to be the result of my family's full efforts to help me practice, and I myself didn't expect that there would be a master who would help me build a foundation and succeed! Gu Changsheng showed an expression of picking up a treasure at the right time, emphasizing that he was very lucky.
"Now that Senior Brother Gu has successfully built the foundation, I'll help you register your name on the roster first! In the future, your treatment will be distributed according to high-level disciples, and you can also have your own cave mansion, but the responsibility on your body will be much heavier! Ye Feng suddenly became solemn.
"I don't know what Senior Brother Ye has for me?" Gu Changsheng heard the voice, his face moved, looked at Ye Feng's eyes, and asked.
"Don't ask about this! Someone will tell you about this later, but I'm just telling you in advance so that you can be mentally prepared. Ye Feng's expression softened and said with a smile.
"After you have decided on your future errands, you can choose a place in the Yunlong Mountain Range to be your cave house, and you will have your own place to practice in the future! And there are ......"
The next words were all information that Gu Changsheng already knew. He was more concerned about what the 'responsibility' that Ye Feng emphasized.
The other party deliberately changed the topic, probably because he had already buried a pit for him in advance. Asking someone to mention it just doesn't want to be blamed.
