Gu Qingfeng was fond of wine, but he did not like tea.
He had never liked tea since he was young. No matter how good the tea was, it was not as refreshing as a bowl of old wine.
He had no choice. He was such a vulgar person.
"However, Fellow Cultivator Gu, did you not taste anything from the cup of tea just now?"
The old Taoist priest seemed to be implying something. Gu Qingfeng looked at the teacup and recalled the taste of the tea. After it entered his mouth, the bitterness burned his lips and teeth like charcoal. The bitterness became stronger and stronger, like the waves of the sea.
Gu Qingfeng felt familiar with the taste of the tea. He suddenly realized something and said, "This is Xuan Ku Tea."
The old Taoist priest stroked his white beard and smiled, "Yes."
"The First Teacher is indeed here."
Gu Qingfeng finally remembered that the First Teacher liked to drink this kind of bitter tea, and it was this Xuan Ku Tea.
"There is no First Teacher in the Temple of Longevity. Only Xuan Ku used to live here for some time."
Gu Qingfeng knew that Xuan Ku was the First Teacher, and the First Teacher was Xuan Ku. However, when the old Taoist priest mentioned the word "used to live here", Gu Qingfeng quickly asked, "Is the First Teacher not here anymore?"
The old Taoist priest nodded.
"When did he leave?"
"Not long ago."
"What a coincidence."
Gu Qingfeng was a little depressed. He took out a pot of wine from his Storage Ring and drank.
Before he came, he had always wanted to know why the First Teacher was waiting for him here. Was there something important? Most importantly, he had many questions that he wanted to ask the First Teacher, but he did not expect the First Teacher to leave like this.
"Xuan Ku has been waiting for Fellow Cultivator Gu in the temple all these years. About a year ago, he said that he had something important to do and needed to leave for some time."
"Did the First Teacher say what it was?"
The old Daoist shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. Then he said, "However, before Xuan Ku left, he told me that Fellow Daoist Gu would come here to find him. He specifically told me to wait here."
The Eldest Headmaster's existence was unpredictable, and his heterodox skills were unparalleled in the world. Gu Qingfeng was not surprised that the Eldest Headmaster had deduced that he had come to find him. He asked, "Did the Eldest Headmaster leave any messages?"
"Xuan Ku didn't say anything before he left. He only asked me to give this to you." As he spoke, the old Taoist flipped his hand and a string of Buddhist beads appeared in his palm.
It was a string of worn-out Buddhist beads. There were a total of 81 beads. Each bead was crimson black and had complicated patterns on it. Gu Qingfeng took the Buddhist beads and looked at them carefully. However, he couldn't see anything special about them.
In his five hundred years of cultivation, he had attained the Peerless Celestial Demon Throne and the Nine Serenities Emperor Seal. He had seen countless Dharma treasures. However, no matter how he looked at the string of Buddha beads, he could not see anything special about it. When he asked the old Daoist, the old Daoist shook his head and said that he did not know anything about it.
The sun was setting in the west. It was almost dusk.
Gu Qingfeng did not leave. Instead, he stayed at the Temple of Longevity for a night. He did nothing but play with the Buddha beads. However, after playing with them for a whole night, he still could not figure out what they were. He did not know what the Great Teacher meant by leaving him this string of Buddha beads.
He really didn't understand.
Gu Qingfeng thought that there was no need to stay in the Temple of Longevity any longer. He left early the next morning.
If it was an ordinary person, Gu Qingfeng might have been able to use his Divine Sense to search the world. However, this person was the Great Master, an existence that even ghosts and gods could not predict. Gu Qingfeng knew that he did not have the ability to find him. Moreover, it was unknown whether he was in this world or not.
Since the Eldest Headmaster left, Gu Qingfeng could only give up.
Although he felt regretful, there was nothing he could do.
Looking at the Shang Qing Sect not far away, Gu Qingfeng thought that he should go to the Shang Qing Sect to visit his Master.
His Master's Zhen Jue was someone he wanted to see but didn't dare to face.
Yes.
He didn't dare.
Back then, he wasn't afraid of facing all the major sects.
Back then, he wasn't afraid of facing Sengoku's trial.
Back then, he wasn't afraid of facing the Nine Heavens' Immortal Path.
Back then, he wasn't afraid of being surrounded by 3,000 Great Daos.
But now, he was afraid in front of his Master's Zhen Jue.
He didn't even have the courage to stand in front of his Master.
If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have taken so long to head to the High Clarity Sect after being in the Never-Ending Grand Region for so many years.
Because he was too guilty and blamed himself. He also felt that he had let his Master down.
Even so.
He still prepared to make a trip to the Shang Qing Sect.
He had to face what he had to face.
He wouldn't run away in the past.
Now, he wouldn't run away.
He would never run away in the future.
…
The Shang Qing Sect was known as the number one sect in the world. It occupied 81 mountains and 365 peaks. It was said that there were more than ten thousand spirit altars, spirit springs, and spirit veins. It occupied almost half of the Shang Qing Sect. This was only the main sect of the Shang Qing Sect. There were countless sects under it that covered the entire divine continent.
Some people said that in the divine continent, if a stone fell from the sky and hit ten Earth Immortals, eight of them would be disciples of the Shang Qing Sect.
This might sound exaggerated, but it was the truth.
The Shang Qing Sect's words could shake the entire divine continent and even the world.
There were still a few days before sunset. In other words, the female sect master would come out of seclusion in a few days.
This was a big event for the Shang Qing Sect. It was also the biggest event for the Shang Qing Sect since ancient times.
The sect masters and elders of the various sects under the Shang Qing Sect all came to participate in the welcoming ceremony of the female sect master.
The inner and outer sect disciples of the Shang Qing Sect, those who went out to train began to return. Those who were in seclusion also began to come out. For a time, the Shang Qing Sect was very lively.
Féquy drove the double-headed lion-tiger carriage all the way to the Shang Qing Sect. Unfortunately, before he reached the foot of the Shang Qing Sect's mountain, he couldn't move anymore.
Because there were just too many people.
Looking around, all kinds of immortal birds and spirit beasts were flying in the sky. All kinds of luxurious carriages were everywhere. Earth Immortals were as numerous as dogs. True Immortals could be seen everywhere. It was a dazzling sight. Such a scene was like a gathering of immortals in the nine heavens. Féquy was dumbfounded. He had lived for so long and had never seen so many immortals.
"Young Master, there are just too many people."
Gu Qingfeng lifted the curtain and looked at the grand occasion at the foot of the Shang Qing Sect's mountain. He was really shocked and exclaimed, "The ancient times have only been opened for a hundred years. If another hundred years passed, I'm afraid even a dog in this damn world would become an immortal dog."
Jumping down from the carriage, Gu Qingfeng stretched and looked up at the Shang Qing Sect. He wondered if he should think of a way to sneak in quietly.
The Shang Qing Sect was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. To be honest, Gu Qingfeng didn't know how many masters were hidden in the Shang Qing Sect. After all, the ancient times were not the ancient times. Who the hell knew how many powerful people had reincarnated and how many powerful people were hiding in the Shang Qing Sect to cultivate with the help of such a treasure land.
It didn't matter.
What really worried Gu Qingfeng was that woman, Ye Tianlan.
If it was possible, he really did not want to see that woman again. Even though he knew that he could sneak in quietly, it was better to be safe than sorry. If that woman, Ye Tianlan, found out about it, who knew what kind of trouble she would cause at that time.
Just when he was distressed, a person suddenly appeared in a flash.
Dressed in white, with long hair, she was devastatingly beautiful.
Like smoke, like fog, like a dream, a stunning woman.
