Seven days later, the ship landed in a huge valley, Gu Cheng looked around, and saw that surrounded by mountains, peaks reaching into the sky, towering, clouds and mist, the palace attic loomed in it.

There are also a number of buildings in the valley, arranged in a neat and orderly manner, and among these buildings, you can see many people wearing the same style of clothes shuttling around, a lively town.

At this moment, where the building boat landed, there was a bluestone paved square at the front of the valley. Led by the old man in black, everyone walked downstairs and came to a tall palace closest to the square.

This seems to be the place where the Imperial Spirit Sect manages the roster of disciples... Half an hour later, everyone registered their identity information here, and they all received a piece of the jade plate, marking that they had become disciples of the Imperial Spirit Sect.

At this time, Gu Cheng parted ways with the others at the request of the bald Moyan. The others walked into the next palace, and it seemed that there was still a process to be done.

Gu Cheng was driven by Mo Yan to fly to the peak in the distance, and finally landed on a snow-capped peak.

Although this peak is majestic and tall, the topography of the peak is very flat, and you can see a three-story small wooden building as soon as you see it. There is also a medicinal field in front of the building, planted with medicinal herbs with leaves like ice crystals.

A breeze blows, and snowflakes fall suddenly. Gu Cheng suddenly looked into the distance, but saw that it was still spring outside the mountain, only this peak was alone in the cold winter, as if he was in another world.

Gu Cheng, who felt a little cold, tightened his clothes and followed Mo Yan towards the wooden building.

As if knowing the arrival of the two, the closed door suddenly opened by itself when the two approached, and Mo Yan walked in with ease.

When Gu Cheng also came in, the door closed by itself, as if to isolate the cold wind from the house.

The inside of the house was indeed much warmer than the outside, Gu Cheng raised his eyes and looked around...... The exterior of this wooden building looks gray as a whole, with a long history of antiquity; The interior of the house is also simply furnished, except for the daily furniture, there is nothing else.

What caught his eye was a young woman in a black dress sitting on a chair. Its appearance is extremely beautiful, with a fair and flawless face, and delicate facial features, but its temperament is cold, which makes people feel that it is not suitable to approach. At this moment, she frowned slightly and looked at Gu Cheng and the others who came in.

To Gu Chengyi's surprise, Mo Yan actually approached the woman in black with a smile on his face... The smile still looked like a crazy smile, but Gu Cheng felt his sincerity as if he was 'seeing his relatives'.

It seems that the relationship between the two is not shallow.

Sure enough, as he saw, Mo Yan walked up to the woman in black, and then called "sister".

Gu Cheng's eyes widened in disbelief. He expected that Mo Yan was not a simple person, but he never thought that the big bald head who was not as good-looking would have such a young and beautiful sister.

Before Gu Cheng could recover from his surprise, Mo Yan had already whispered something to the woman in black, and after hearing this, the woman in black moved slightly, and then waved her hand.

Then Mo Yan walked towards Gu Cheng happily and said with a smile: "Okay, I have already explained your situation to the sect master, and then it depends on you." I'm waiting for you outside the house, and I hope you haven't let me down. ”

After speaking, his tall body swept past Gu Cheng, walked towards the door, and then opened the door and went outside.

The door was closed again, and only Gu Cheng and the woman in black were left in the room. Gu Cheng's heart began to tense...... Without a spiritual root, whether or not you can embark on the immortal path is now.

The woman in black looked at Gu Cheng with star-like eyes, raised her hand and beckoned, signaling him to step forward.

Gu Cheng didn't dare to slack off, and stepped forward to bow and said, "Disciple Gu Cheng, meet the sect master." ”

The woman in black spoke lightly, and a light and beautiful voice sounded: "Mo Yan is messing around, I don't know the dangers and disadvantages of replacing the spiritual root with foreign objects, but this sister, I still have to settle the cause and effect for him." ”

After a pause, she continued, "Now you're given two choices...... First, if you give up your delusions about cultivating immortals, this seat will erase your memories of the Imperial Spirit Sect in the past few days, and then give you ten thousand taels of gold, send you back to the mundane town, and ensure that you are rich and noble for a lifetime, which can be regarded as an apology for Moyan to express to you.

The second is that you can still be a disciple of the Imperial Spirit Sect, but if you want to have a spiritual root and become a real monk, then you can only replace the spiritual root with foreign objects.

But I would like to remind you that this method is not only dangerous, but also has unknown drawbacks, and the cost is extremely high. ”

Hearing this, Gu Cheng's expression was solemn, and in the face of the dilemma, he did not hesitate too much, and said in a resolute tone: "The disciple is very yearning for the Immortal Dao, and I hope that the sect master will be fulfilled!" ”

Although there were many uncertainties about the second option, he was still resolutely willing to give it a try.

"Okay, I respect your decision and give you this opportunity." The woman in black had a look of approval in her bland eyes, and then her palm flicked in front of her, and three items appeared out of thin air in front of her.

They are a strange insect that resembles a green silkworm, but is covered with slender tentacles.

A red mist in a glass bottle.

There is also a heart that seems to be made of gold, but is pounding.

The woman in black pointed to the three items and explained them one by one.

First of all, the strange worm.

I saw her look serious and said: "This is a spirit Gu refined with the 'Green Spirit Silkworm', which can be parasitic on the human body and used as a spiritual root. ”

Then she pointed to the red mist in the glass bottle.

"This thing is the spirit of the demon beast that has been sacrificed with a special secret method, and it is sealed in the human body, which can also replace the spiritual root."

"The last heart is refined with extremely precious spiritual objects, which can be integrated into the physical body, transform the physique, and condense the spiritual root. But when using it, it can be very painful. ”

"When the Qingling Silkworm Gu parasitizes the human body, although there are unknown side effects and the effect is not very good, there is almost no possibility of failure.

Sealing the spirit of the demon beast in the body has a very good effect, but it is quite dangerous.

The heart of the spirit object can only be used by those who have great perseverance, otherwise life is better than death.

Each of these three items has its pros and cons, and you can choose it after you think about it. ”

After the woman in black added some explanations, her eyes looked at Gu Cheng quietly, waiting for his choice.

Gu Cheng's eyes flashed, and after a while, he smiled weakly and asked, "Before choosing, can the disciple ask the sect master a question?" If the disciple says something wrong, I hope that the sect master will forgive him. ”

When the woman in black heard this, she raised her eyebrows, and finally agreed, and said lightly: "Yes, you can ask." ”

"What the disciple wants to ask is, since these three items have their own advantages and disadvantages, why don't they be used together, won't this make up for each other?"

As soon as these words came out, the corners of the woman in black's face couldn't help twitching... The disciple in front of him is too bold, he simply doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and he is very lucky to be able to successfully fuse an item, except for the Qingling Silkworm Gu, the other two items are in danger of life when the fusion fails...... This son is so greedy, he should be punished!

So, she smiled strangely and said, "What you said makes sense, then let's give it a try!" ”

After that, her figure flashed, and she came to Gu Cheng and ordered, "Take off your shirt!" ”

Seeing that he was undressed, Gu Cheng was a little surprised, but he didn't dare to disobey, and took off his clothes obediently.

What Gu Cheng didn't know was that his out-of-tune thoughts had already made the Imperial Spirit Sect Master in front of him dislike it, and it would make him feel deep regret in the future.

When the Imperial Spirit Sect Master saw Gu Cheng take off his shirt, he didn't hesitate to move.

I saw her raise her hand and make a move, and the golden heart flew into her hand, and the other hand slashed at the skin on Gu Cheng's chest, instantly cutting through a slender opening.

Without waiting for the blood to flow out, he slapped the golden heart on his hand on the wound on Gu Cheng's chest.

Gu Cheng only felt a pain in his chest, and saw that when the golden heart touched his wound, it turned into a cloud of golden liquid and burrowed into his body from the wound.

The Imperial Spirit Sect Master didn't stop moving, and without waiting for Gu Cheng to react, she raised her hand again, and the Green Spirit Silkworm Gu also flew over, and the demon beast spirit contained in the bottle also broke the glass bottle and floated to her eyes.

She caught the Qingling Silkworm Gu with her left hand and slapped it on Gu Cheng's abdomen, and caught the demon beast spirit with her right hand, and pressed it on his back.

There was a pain like tearing the skin of his abdomen, and under Gu Cheng's shocked gaze, the strange insect that was originally motionless actually broke through his skin at this moment and burrowed into his abdomen.

At the same time, there was a burning sensation in his back, and then it was cold and piercing, gradually spreading into his body.

At this time, Gu Cheng felt that the whole person was not good.

The heart melted into his chest, like a hot molten stone swallowed in his abdomen, as if it was about to burn him, and the front half of his body was already warm, and his skin was red.

After the strange insect entered the abdomen, it was also like a thin needle interspersed in the body, and it hurt so much that it pierced the heart and lungs.

The cold on the back is getting worse and worse, and the skin on the back is shabby.

Gu Cheng, who couldn't stand the pain, fell to the ground, convulsed in pain, and he finally realized that life was worse than death. I already understood that the sect master in front of him didn't lie to him, it was because he was too greedy and too bold, thinking that if one didn't work, he would want all three, but he never thought that the price was so painful.

Seeing Gu Cheng fall, the face of the Imperial Spirit Sect Master became solemn. She was actually inspired by Gu Cheng's idea, so she gave Gu Cheng a try, although she meant to punish him, but more to see if the method Gu Cheng said would work.

As the master of a sect, she cultivated to a high level, so she naturally wouldn't watch her disciples encounter danger in front of her, so she began to take action to help Gu Cheng fuse the three spiritual objects.

I saw her pinching her hands, and the spiritual power in her body condensed in front of her, turning into golden runes and flying into Gu Cheng's body.

Then, Gu Cheng's body suddenly had a vision, and blood mist gushed from his body, which condensed into a blood cocoon in a moment, enveloping his body.

A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Spirit Sect Master, but she did not stop her movements, and it was not until half an hour later, when the blood cocoon stopped moving, that she stopped casting the spell.

At this moment, her face was already pale, and it was obvious that this act had cost her a lot of energy.
