Gu Fei wasn't willing to go with Li Lingfeng and Zi Yu to meet Daoist Chaoyang. Furthermore, the Three Great Daoist Societies were actually coming for him. This puzzled Gu Fei, and at the same time, made him vigilant.
"In fact, this is no longer a secret among the Three Great Daoist Sects. You collected three nine-colored immortal herbs in the Virtual Sky World. Those three immortal herbs are the legendary Longevity Grass," Li Lingfeng said.
"Longevity Grass?" A frown appeared on Gu Fei's face. He immediately recalled the three Nine-Colored Immortal Herbs growing above the earth fire vein in the Virtual Sky World.
"According to legend, Longevity Grass has the miraculous effect of going against the heavens and seizing life. Even if ordinary people eat it, they can seize two hundred years of life from the heavens," Zi Yu said.
The lifespan of humans was limited by heaven and earth. Birth, old age, sickness, and death — this was reincarnation, and no one could escape. Cultivators in the world, whether they practiced devil cultivation, immortal cultivation, or ghost cultivation, were all doing the same thing.
That was to get rid of reincarnation and enjoy longevity. However, those who truly enjoyed longevity were few and far between. Even the legendary Immortals and Gods would fall at some point.
Countless cultivators advanced wave after wave in order to fight for the slim chance of survival in the world. After struggling bitterly, some people succeeded, but the vast majority still perished in the endless years.
"You might be disappointed, but the Longevity Grass isn't with me," Gu Fei said to Li Lingfeng and Zi Yu after thinking for a moment.
"What?!" Li Lingfeng couldn't help but be stunned.
"This … Is it that … Dragon Turtle, no, I mean, is it in the hands of that demonic old senior?" Zi Yu said in shock.
In the Virtual Sky World, everyone saw with their own eyes that Gu Fei seemed to have a good relationship with that ancient divine beast, the dragon turtle. If it wasn't for the dragon turtle, they might've already died in that Primordial Ominous City.
"It's not in his hands. That old monster doesn't care about the Longevity Grass at all." Gu Fei answered. How could a guy like the old turtle, who had lived for countless years, care about a mere two hundred years of life?
"Was it robbed by those guys from Shangqing Sect or Guangcheng Immortal Sect?" Li Lingfeng realized the seriousness of the matter, and his voice trembled.
"Robbed? I guess so! " Gu Fei couldn't help sighing. His interspatial pouch was still in the hands of Yan 'er in the Pill Cauldron Paradise. Whether or not he could retrieve it was still a problem.
However, if Gu Fei were to know that all the elixirs in his storage bag had been confiscated by Yan 'er, it was unknown what kind of expression he would have.
The Longevity Grass was very important. The people of the Three Great Daoist Sects had entered the Northern Lands for the Longevity Grass. No one knew how many terrifying old monsters had come.
After all, there were old monsters in the Three Great Daoist Sects who were nearing the end of their lifespans. The Longevity Grass was their lifesaver. With the Longevity Grass, these old monsters could dominate the cultivation world for another 200 years.
Moreover, within these two hundred years, they would have the opportunity to break through to the Demigod Realm. If they could successfully break through to the Demigod Realm, they would truly be on the path to immortality.
"What's going on?!" Li Lingfeng could no longer maintain his composure. He knew very well how important the Longevity Grass was to the Taixuan Sect. They absolutely could not lose it.
On the surface, among the elders of the Taixuan Sect, only Taoist Chaoyang had entered the Northern Lands. However, Li Lingfeng knew that one or two of the Highest Elders of the sect had also entered the Northern Lands.
And the old monsters of the Shang Qing Sect and the Guangcheng Immortal Sect would definitely not sit idly by. There would definitely be such peerless experts entering the Northern Lands.
"It's hard for me to say for a while. After I settle my matters, will I be able to retrieve the Longevity Grass?" Gu Fei said.
Gu Fei knew from his conversation with Li Lingfeng and Zi Yu that the Three Great Daoist Sects seemed to be determined to get the Longevity Grass. This might be a bargaining chip for him.
However, his own interspatial pouch was in the hands of Yan 'er. How troublesome!
Gu Fei knew very well that the Danding School was a sect that entered the Dao through the art of Danding. They were best at refining pills. Elixirs were absolutely full of temptation for the disciples of the Danding School.
If Yan 'er discovered the elixir in the interspatial pouch, wanting to make her hand it over would be no different than ascending to the heavens.
"Junior Brother Gu, this is not a joke. You must get the Longevity Grass. Otherwise, you will be in trouble," Zi Yu said anxiously.
"Got it!" Gu Fei responded, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his face. The reason why the masters of the sect had come out was, to put it bluntly, not for him, but for the Longevity Grass on him.
"Junior Brother Gu …" Li Lingfeng wanted to persuade him again.
But Gu Fei rushed to say, "I still have things to do. Let's say goodbye here!" As he spoke, he bowed to Li Lingfeng and Zi Yu, leaving behind an afterimage where he was, and disappeared into the snow forest in an instant.
By the time Li Lingfeng and Zi Yu reacted to it, Gu Fei was already several hundred feet away.
Li Lingfeng and Zi Yu could not help being startled. Gu Fei's movement technique was swift like the wind and lightning. Furthermore, he left as he pleased. This made them very astounded.
Gu Fei's figure rapidly disappeared into the snow forest. Li Lingfeng and Zi Yu could not help exchanging glances, both rather helpless. Only after a good while did they come back to their senses and walked out of the snow forest.
"Senior Brother, should we report today's events?" Zi Yu asked as he walked.
"Of course. Junior Brother Gu's appearance is a major event. This matter is not what we can resolve," Li Lingfeng said solemnly. Actually, he already wanted to make a move to stop Gu Fei earlier.
But, Li Lingfeng had misgivings. Because he could not tell Gu Fei's depths. Furthermore, everyone belonged to the same sect. Li Lingfeng did not wish to offend Gu Fei.
Li Lingfeng and Zi Yu quickly left the snow forest and returned to Beiling City.
At this time, Gu Fei, who had returned to Beiling City first, once again arrived near the inn where the people from Dongfang Clan stayed. He, who had changed his appearance, did not have to worry about being recognized at all.
The setting sun was infinitely beautiful, but it was nearing dusk. Time passed unknowingly, and Beiling City at dusk was still cold. The blood-like setting sun hung high above the horizon, emitting the last radiance of the day.
His conversation with Li Lingfeng and Zi Yu made him feel rather displeased. If it were not for the fact that he collected the Longevity Grass in the Virtual Sky World, the people in the sect would definitely not regard him so highly.
The people in the cultivation world were all very realistic. Sometimes, they were so realistic that it made people's hearts turn cold. Only by becoming powerful would one not be ignored by others, and only then would one be respected.
Gu Fei secretly made up his mind that he must become a strong cultivator who could look down on the world.
When the last ray of light from the sun disappeared below the horizon, the night had completely enveloped the world. The people who had gone out had already returned to the city.
Gu Fei walked into a tavern across from the inn where the people from Dongfang Clan stayed, found an inconspicuous corner, and sat down.
The tavern was not big, and there were only a dozen or so tables in the lobby. The people drinking and chatting in the tavern were all ordinary people; there were no cultivators present.
Gu Fei's aura was completely restrained, and he did not release any fluctuations of energy. In the eyes of others, he was not a lofty cultivator, but rather an unprepossessing young man.
No one noticed Gu Fei in the corner. Gu Fei ordered a pot of wine and leisurely drank by himself. However, he was constantly paying attention to the movements in the inn across from him.
The people from Floating City did not show up last night, but Gu Fei knew that after being beaten up so miserably by him, they would definitely not swallow this insult.
If they wanted to end their seclusion and forcefully return to the world of cultivation, the best way to do so was to cause some disturbance in the world of cultivation.
Just as Gu Fei was drinking by himself in the small tavern, as if he had completely blended into the mortal world, a figure suddenly appeared in the air above a courtyard behind the Cloud Arrival Inn.
"Dongfang Lie!" The newcomer said in a deep voice, his voice filled with dignity. In an instant, his voice spread to all the courtyards behind the inn, echoing mightily in the air.
However, the people outside the inn did not hear any sound at all. It was very obvious that the person who spoke had used magic power to restrict his voice to a certain range.
It seemed that he did not want to alarm anyone other than the people from Dongfang Clan.
"Whoosh!" A figure rushed out from the courtyard below.
"Brother Chaoyang, you have graced us with your presence. I apologize for not going out to meet you." The figure who rushed out from the courtyard down below stopped in front of the man who was wearing a golden robe and a purple-golden daoist hat and a Golden Crow robe.
The person who rushed out from the courtyard below was the middle-aged man that the young cultivators of the Dongfang Clan called "Great Ancestor." This person was Dongfang Lie.
And the Taoist who suddenly appeared in the air above the courtyard, like a true immortal descending to the world, was the head of the Shaoyang Peak of the Taixuan Sect, Taoist Chaoyang.
"Dongfang Lie, why are you searching for the disciples of the Taixuan Sect? You better give me a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, hmph!" As soon as they met, Taoist Chaoyang's eyes fiercely shot out two rays of cold light. He glanced at the person in front of him and said in a low voice.
Taoist Chaoyang's temperament was the same as his cultivation method. He was like a raging fire, and in the Taixuan Sect, he was the most aggressive elder. When it came to external matters, it was usually him who came forward to resolve them.
When Dongfang Lie heard this, his expression could not help but immediately become cold. He said coldly, "Taoist Chaoyang, are you here to denounce me?"
"Hmph! Could it be that this is your analysis? " Taoist Chaoyang said coldly. When he learned that Gu Fei was being hunted by the Dongfang family, he was already angry.
The Dongfang family really did not give the Taixuan Sect any face. Were they not deliberately embarrassing him? Other people did not know that Gu Fei was a disciple of the Taixuan Sect, but the people of the Shang Qing Sect and the Guangcheng Celestial Sect knew.
What made Taoist Chaoyang even more angry was that in this way, the people of the Guangcheng Celestial Sect and the Shang Qing Sect also knew that Gu Fei was in the north.
"Gu Fei crippled an outstanding disciple of the Dongfang family for no reason. Do you want to protect your sect?" Dongfang Lie said tit-for-tat.
Although the Dongfang family was weaker than the Taixuan Sect, they were not to be bullied.
"The right and wrong will be decided by the public, but you should not have searched for the disciples of the Taixuan Sect without informing me. Don't tell me you did not know I was in the city." Taoist Chaoyang's voice became colder.
The two sides were full of the smell of gunpowder.
At this time, the people of the Dongfang family were all alarmed. They all came out of the inn in surprise and looked at the two peerless masters standing in the air.
