Gu Qingfeng stood up, walked out of the pavilion, and came to the edge of the floating island. He poured the remaining wine in his cup onto the ground and said, "If you guys hadn't saved me back then, I might still be lying in that small world of quicksand. After I woke up, I ate and drank for free in the Little Luo Mystic Realm for a few decades. Everyone treated me well …"
Before Gu Qingfeng could finish, Qian Ling said, "We didn't save you for money."
"Nonsense! When you saved me, I didn't even have a single piece of clothing on me. Even if you wanted money, I didn't have it. "
"How can you be like this …"
"There's nothing I can do about it. That's just how I am. Take this money and help me buy some toys for everyone. Consider it a token of my appreciation."
"We won't take your things."
"Whether you want them or not is your business. Whether I buy them or not is my business. Besides, you're just you. You don't represent everyone."
Qian Ling realized that she couldn't communicate with Gu Qingfeng at all. His words were too harsh. She said angrily, "If you want to buy them, buy them yourself."
"If I knew what to buy, I wouldn't need you to help me. Isn't it because I don't know what to buy? You know better than anyone else what everyone in the Xiaoluo Mystic Realm needs. This is something that others can't do. Only you can do it. Just treat it as a favor for me to guide you in comprehending the Heavenly Profound Myriad Sword Art. How about it? "
Qian Ling's little mouth opened slightly. She wanted to say something but stopped herself. Looking at the jade token in her hand that was worth five hundred million, she seemed to realize something and asked, "You … don't plan to return to the Xiaoluo Mystic Realm with us?"
"Even if you didn't look for me today, I was planning to look for you in a few days. This time, I guess I won't be going back with you."
Qian Ling asked anxiously, "If you don't go back with us, where can you go?"
"I don't know. Let's take a look first."
"But … But … What about Qianniao? After so many years, she has already treated you as family and has developed a dependence on you. If you leave, Qianniao will go crazy."
"That's why I'm looking for you."
"I can't do it. You know Qianniao's personality. If you leave without saying goodbye, she will definitely look for you at all costs. I'm sure she will."
"Don't worry, I won't be able to run away for a while. I reckon I'll play in the Wind Moon Small World for a while. Even if I really want to leave, I'll settle Qianniao down properly."
"But …"
Qian Ling said, but she didn't know what else to say.
"Alright, it's getting late. I'm a little tired." Gu Qingfeng stretched, yawned, and said, "I have to go back and sleep. You should also go and rest. When you wake up, we can go play and have some fun."
Looking at Gu Qingfeng's back as he left, Qian Ling mustered her courage and asked, "I won't ask who you were in the past but may I know your name?"
"I have many names, so I won't mention them. However, I only have one surname. My surname is Gu, as in ancient times."
"His surname is Gu, Gu from ancient times …"
Qian Ling muttered to herself as she watched Gu Qingfeng walk further and further away.
…
After Gu Qingfeng returned to the Fire Cloud Carriage, he went straight to his bedroom to rest.
He didn't know why, but he felt that his body was a little strange recently. It felt as if his body, which had been asleep for ten thousand years, was about to wake up.
It really felt like that.
He carefully sensed the changes in his body.
He found that his body was still filled with countless impurities, covering his acupuncture points, meridians, tendons, bones, and even his internal organs.
These impurities were extremely turbid. Gu Qingfeng guessed that they were the remaining impurities after igniting the Hellfire of Original Sin.
However.
What puzzled him was that previously, his blood vessels were also tightly blocked by this kind of turbid impurities, and the blood inside had long dried up. There were only some dried bloodstains left in his blood vessels, but recently, these dried bloodstains seemed to have been nourished by something and showed signs of recovery.
It was like rain after a long drought. Some turbid blood seeped out of his dried blood vessels.
What was going on?
Could it be that drinking some Hob Burn, eating the Bitter Bodhi, and taking some Daluo Tendon Changing Marrow Cleansing Pill really had an effect?
No!
Not at all.
Gu Qingfeng guessed that it should be because he had been recuperating in the Minor Luo Secret Realm for decades after he woke up.
The spirit qi in the Minor Luo Secret Realm was considered pure and rich. Even if he had never absorbed it before, he had absorbed a lot of spirit qi in between breaths.
Could it be that he had been nourished by a little bit of spirit qi, causing his dried blood vessels to start recovering like rain after a long drought?
This shouldn't be.
Just by breathing in that little bit of spirit qi, it was completely negligible.
It shouldn't be able to nourish his dried blood vessels, right?
All of a sudden.
Gu Qingfeng remembered that when he was in the gambling city, he had drunk more than four hundred pots of Bitao wine. That thing could be considered a great tonic. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a pot to be sold for more than thirty thousand immortal stones.
He guessed that it might be because of the nourishment of the four hundred pots of Bitao wine that his dried blood vessels had started to gradually recover.
Gu Qingfeng originally wanted to absorb some spirit qi to see if that was the case.
However, he immediately gave up on that idea.
After waking up this time, he only wanted to eat, drink, and enjoy himself. He really couldn't be bothered to cultivate or torment himself.
Moreover, there was a more important reason. Gu Qingfeng couldn't be sure that once his physical body woke up, would other things also wake up?
For example, the incarnation of the Heaven and Hell?
For example, the soul of the Evil Avici Infernal Asura?
What he was most worried about was whether the original sin would recover.
Gu Qingfeng wasn't too sure whether this thing had dissipated or not.
If the original sin had really dissipated, what if the original sin also recovered after his physical body recovered? Then, all his efforts would have been for nothing. After all, Gu Qingfeng's body was now filled with countless turbid impurities, and these turbid impurities were most likely produced after igniting the Hellfire of Original Sin. Who knew if these turbid impurities would become the original sin after his physical body recovered.
Moreover.
Even the incarnation of the Heaven and Hell, the soul of the Evil Avici Infernal Asura, and the original sin had not recovered with the recovery of his physical body.
That couldn't stop the other messy creations from coming to him.
Creations could come to him on their own?
That's right.
For others, this might be an incredible thing.
However, for Gu Qingfeng, it wasn't the first time he encountered some inexplicable creations that came to him.
After the Ancient Cataclysm and the Emperor's Seal were taken away, Gu Qingfeng could be said to have nothing left. In the end, he had just casually built a foundation, and then … Mother Nature had forced an endless creation upon him. There was also the Heart of the Great Path that had mysteriously fallen from the sky. That was definitely a goddamn creation that came knocking on his door.
Later on, the ancient taboo that used the sun and moon as its eyes and the void as its body also came knocking on his door.
In the end, Gu Qingfeng embarked on a path of no return. Perhaps it had something to do with his personality, but it was also undeniable that messy karma and fate were playing tricks behind the scenes.
Therefore, Gu Qingfeng had learned to be smart this time. If he could avoid cultivating, he wouldn't cultivate. As long as he didn't cultivate and didn't get involved with the Great Path, those messy creations wouldn't come knocking on his door.
As for the rest, he didn't care.
Without thinking too much, Gu Qingfeng fell asleep.
