A Handsome Old Man popped his head out and said, "The edge of the peak? Forget it, before I die, I might have touched the edge of the peak. You … are still too early, don't even think about it. "
Guo Shier was unconvinced and said, "Hey, A Handsome Old Man, I'm a two-level altar expert!"
A Handsome Old Man smiled and said, "As far as I know, if you have the ability to shatter a secret realm with one strike, you might have reached the peak. If you can shatter a continent with one strike, hehe, then you are undoubtedly a professional peak expert."
Guo Shier was speechless. After a while, he said, "Abnormal!"
A Handsome Old Man said, "If not abnormal, what is the peak of a professional? I once saw with my own eyes, a person who didn't use an altar and just walked all the way here with only a very ordinary sword in his hand. With one strike, he shattered a professional expert's seven-level altar. The other party couldn't resist at all. That is a true expert … before he made his move, no one knew he was so powerful. "
Guo Shier sighed and said, "There is no inheritance …"
A Handsome Old Man said, "Once you reach the sixth level of the altar … there is basically no inheritance. At that time, if you want to advance again, you will have to rely on your own accumulation and comprehension, as well as all kinds of experiences and experiments. Yes, reaching the sixth level of the altar should be considered to be touching the edge of the peak."
Guo Shier waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this, it's too depressing."
A Handsome Old Man smiled and retracted his head. Whenever this guy encountered a topic he was interested in, he would suddenly appear and would often scare people.
Falconer shook his head and said, "Six level altar … hehe, hehehe …" He had the inheritance of the ancient Miluo family, so of course he understood how difficult it was to advance. Just improving the soul would take up most of a professional's time. Unless it was a Black Talisman person who could quickly increase the strength of the soul, it was very difficult for others to do so. This difficulty was nothing to the three of them. With the soul beads and Guo Shier's soul ripples, this problem could be solved.
The most difficult thing was to collect the materials. Every advancement required an astonishing amount of materials. Some materials were needed in large quantities, and some were extremely difficult to find. Professionals had to go to many places, especially the extreme secret realms, which produced special materials. More than sixty percent of the extreme secret realms were extremely dangerous places.
Guo Shi 'er said, "I know it's hard, but no matter how hard it is, we have to fight for it. Back then … we were just Master level professionals. Haha, Uncle Hawk Demon, look … Master level professionals can only be cannon fodder, but we have built our own altar. Six layers … I'm confident that we can build a nine-layer altar …"
The handsome old man suddenly popped his head out and said, "Dream on!" After saying that, he disappeared.
Guo Shi 'er cursed bitterly, "Old man, will you die if you don't scare people?"
Hawk Demon laughed heartily and said: "Alright, let's march towards the ninth layer altar!"
The handsome old man popped his head out again. "You're dreaming too!"
A Handsome Old Man was stunned and muttered, "Oh, that makes sense. Old man … no dream." Then he retracted his head.
Guo Shier understood A Handsome Old Man's meaning. He was now a Guardian Spirit, a complete soul body. If we don't even have a dream, how can we move forward? "
Guo Shier understood what the handsome old man meant. Right now, he was only a Guardian Spirit, a complete soul body. He could no longer be like a professional. Guo Shier understood A Handsome Old Man's meaning. He was now a Guardian Spirit, a complete soul body. He could no longer be like a professional.
At this time, Nan You walked in. Falconer smiled, "Are you done with your work?"
Nan You sighed, "Ah, my life is so hard … I'm so busy. There are too many messy things. Luckily I told the Old Ancestor that I would come to accompany you. Otherwise … I wouldn't be able to get away."
Guo Shier smiled, "You must be very busy. Your family should be able to reap quite a lot of benefits this time." The family he was referring to was Nan You's branch family. This branch family had a high status, so they would be able to reap many benefits.
Nan You said, "Of course. I've recruited a Guest Ancestor and a Guest Grand Elder for the family. They wouldn't dare to ignore me," he said proudly.
Falconer smiled, "Yes, go and fight for them. The Old Ancestor of Southern Qiang will give you face."
Nan You said, "I'm here to give the Old Ancestor some benefits." He took out ten talisman pouches and took out two more talismans.
Guo Shi 'er's pupils shrank as he asked, "Are they natural talismans?"
The handsome old man popped his head out with a swoosh. "Where? Where are the natural talismans? "
Startled, Nan You couldn't help but mutter, "Scary again …" He continued, "These are the two natural talismans that the Old Ancestor of Southern Qiang promised. I heard that he purposely found experts from other families to exchange for them. It took a lot of effort to get them."
A Handsome Old Man said hurriedly, "Let me see! Let me see! "
Nan You handed over the two talismans. "Here." He knew how powerful this old man was. As a guardian spirit, he dared to curse his master. This old man was the real ancestor.
A Handsome Old Man's hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the two talismans. It was a rune the size of two palms. After a brief examination, the handsome old man revealed a trace of dissatisfaction. He said dispiritedly, "Damn it, which idiot extracted the rune? There are so many details missing. Sigh, that idiot only left behind the general … Oh, sigh … What a pity, what a pity!"
Nan You awkwardly looked at Guo Shier.
Guo Shier asked, "A Handsome Old Man, can it be used?"
A Handsome Old Man let out a long sigh. "Ah … it can be used, but it's a pity that it's not complete. I don't know which idiot extracted it and almost destroyed the talismans."
Guo Shier said, "It's good that it can be used. Right, what kind of talismans are they?"
A Handsome Old Man said, "At least half of their power was weakened. What a pity. One of them is the rarely seen Miao Talisman, and the other is a supplementary talisman. This Miao Talisman can be used to construct the third layer of the altar. Ah, if it's a perfectly extracted natural talisman … that would be great. "
Guo Shier took the two talismans and glanced at them. He said, "A Handsome Old Man, this is a basic water talisman … Well, it's not too bad. Of course, it's not as good as your technique, but it should be fine to use it."
A Handsome Old Man said, "It's not a little bad, it's a lot worse. Ah, it's the most uncomfortable to see a half-baked talisman. It would be great if it's a natural water talisman. Unfortunately, it's just a Miao Talisman. The effect is a little worse. Ah, forget it, I'll use the Wood talisman I got last time."
Nan You listened to A Handsome Old Man's comments and complaints. He couldn't say anything, and he didn't dare to say anything. He could only smile bitterly.
In order to change the topic, Nan You asked, "Right, where did Old Luo go?"
Falconer said, "Old Luo has officially begun to construct his illusory altar. He's ready to level up."
Nan You's mouth was wide open. He couldn't say anything for a long time. He swallowed hard and said with difficulty, "This … this is impossible … Last time I checked, Old Luo was going to construct the altar and level up again. His soul … seems to be lacking a little bit. Even if his cultivation is fast, it will still take a few years to level up."
A Handsome Old Man said scornfully, "How can you guess their cultivation?"
Nan You was speechless again. Guo Shier comforted him, "A Handsome Old Man has this temper. Don't be offended."
A Handsome Old Man muttered, "What temper do I have? Do I still have a temper? I'm a f * cking old man! Strange, why should I be angry? "
Nan You said, "Ancestor, I know." It wasn't just A Handsome Old Man scolding him. A Handsome Old Man also scolded him when he caught Guo Shier doing something wrong. He didn't care who the other party was.
The handsome old man took the two natural runes and the other precious materials inside the talisman pouch. He cursed in a low voice, "What do you know!" His head shrunk and disappeared.
Falconer chuckled. Nan You said to Guo Shier, "The Nanqiang Ancestor wants to see you."
Guo Shier said, "The Nanqiang Ancestor must be so busy that he can't even breathe. Why would he have the time to see me?" Then he understood. He was also a Ancestor, not his subordinate. It was normal for him to have something to ask. He smiled and said, "Alright, I'll go now. Uncle Falconer, guard this place. Don't let anyone disturb Uncle Luo. "
Falconer nodded. "Don't worry, there won't be any danger here. Leave it to me."
Nan You took Guo Shier and flew north of the city.
Soon, they arrived at the Nanqiang Ancestor's residence. Someone welcomed them into the room. The Nanqiang Ancestor was sitting there leisurely. When he saw Guo Shier enter, he smiled. "If you had come any later, I would have left."
"Left?" Guo Shier asked curiously. "To where?"
The Nanqiang Ancestor said, "The interior of the red gold mine. Are you interested in taking a look?"
Before Guo Shier could reply, A Handsome Old Man's soul rippled. "Go, agree to his request!" Guo Shier nodded. "How many people are going?"
"Just a few of us. The rest will follow the main group. We're going to explore the deepest part of the mine. We already have a guide."
"What did you find?" Guo Shier asked.
The Nanqiang Ancestor smiled. "I'm not sure yet, but I have some guesses. Those who are weak can't go down. Let's go try."
Guo Shier's curiosity was immediately piqued. "Alright, let's go."
One had to go through a transportation array to enter the mine. It was impossible to enter from the outside. This was to prevent people from stealing the mine. There were thousands of these simple transportation arrays in the entire mine, each corresponding to the mining area of the mine. Apart from the managers, the only people who could enter the mine were ordinary miners.
Professionals were not allowed to enter this place, especially professionals who possessed Talisman Gate Talisman. They were not allowed to enter. Of course, now that the Gujin Clan had retreated, this rule was temporarily abolished. When the Gu Nan Clan gained full control, this rule would be restored.
The transportation array that the Nanqiang Ancestor used was at the headquarters in Jincheng. This was a rather exquisite transportation array. Not many people could be transported at once.
This time, only the Nanqiang Ancestor, Guo Shier, and Nan You entered the depths of the mine. A few Great Saint Masters were assigned to guard the transportation array.
A thick earthy smell wafted into the air. Guo Shier rarely went underground, but he had plenty of experience underground. This was not a large cave. After Nan You entered, he immediately released a talisman lamp, illuminating the surroundings.
"Let's release the altar," the Nanqiang Ancestor said. "I don't know what dangers there are here."
Guo Shier immediately released the altar. However, it was not in battle form. Instead, it floated above his head. Otherwise, it would not be able to fly through the mine. Fortunately, the size of the altar was up to one's will. As long as a person could pass, the altar could pass as well.
The Nanqiang Ancestor said, "This is a secret place. Hehe, let's take advantage of the fact that the family headquarters have not come to take over. If there's anything good, don't hesitate to take it. If the headquarters comes, it will be very difficult to enter …"
Nan You was shocked. "The headquarters won't … oh, yes, Ancestor. Thank you, Ancestor."
The Nanqiang Ancestor nodded. "If you hadn't invited a guest ancestor, this opportunity … would not have come to you. Some things are better if you don't understand. Not everyone has a chance. You must treasure every chance you get, understand? "
There was nothing Nan You did not understand. If he still did not understand, he would not have been able to cultivate to the illusory altar. "Thank you, Ancestor, for giving me this opportunity."
The Nanqiang Ancestor nodded in satisfaction.
Guo Shier smiled. Using the family's benefits to gain favor from his subordinates, the Nanqiang Ancestor did not lose out at all. He nodded. "Thank you, Ancestor."
This was what the Nanqiang Ancestor wanted to hear. Whether it was entering the mine or entering the warehouse, he was expressing his goodwill to Guo Shier. After this battle, he had clearly seen Guo Shier's strength. Even a four-level master might not be able to defeat Guo Shier. He had to find a way to capture such a powerful master.
"Let's go down."
Part of the mine was naturally formed, while the other part was excavated. It extended all the way down.
After flying for more than ten minutes, the winding mine tunnel continued to extend downward. Guo Shier estimated that they had flown for at least a few hundred kilometers. There were forks along the way, but the Nanqiang Ancestor ignored them and continued downward.
Guo Shier was filled with anticipation. What would be down there?
