He couldn't say these words, nor could he say them.
If he said them, he would expose his biggest secret, and he wouldn't be able to explain it. It wasn't that he didn't trust the two elders, but this kind of thing wouldn't benefit Gu Zheng at all. If more people knew about it, it would be more dangerous.
"Purple Flower Vine!"
Gu Zheng stepped forward and opened a box. This was the five thousand year old Purple Flower Vine. It was about ten centimeters long and as thick as a thumb. The purple flower vine was quietly placed in the box. After opening the box, a delicate fragrance spread out.
The two elders revealed a trace of nervousness. They were afraid that Gu Zheng would bring this thing out. It wasn't easy to find the Sect Master, and it was hard for them to refuse his first request. However, they were really preparing this thing for Gu Zheng's future. To use it now, in their opinion, it would be a waste.
"Elders, can I cut a little bit?"
Gu Zheng suddenly said. Moreover, he held the Purple Flower Vine and gestured. He wanted to cut a bit bigger than a grain of rice. To be precise, he wanted to cut a piece.
This little bit didn't affect the whole Purple Flower Vine.
"This, can, can, I'll cut it for you!"
Seeing that Gu Zheng only wanted a little bit, Wuchou immediately nodded. This little bit didn't affect Gu Zheng. It was good that it could satisfy his curiosity, so he wouldn't want to bring it out.
After cutting a little bit, Gu Zheng carefully put it away.
"It's only a medium grade Purple Flower Vine, is there a need to be like this?"
The Weapon Spirit's voice suddenly sounded. To a rich dog like the Weapon Spirit, Emei's treasury was nothing. It was also a pile of things that it didn't even want to pick up.
"Didn't you say that there are no medium grade ingredients on Earth?"
Gu Zheng suddenly remembered what the Weapon Spirit said before and immediately asked. The Weapon Spirit lazily said, "I did say that. When I came here, I specially scanned. You don't have any growing normal grade ingredients. I didn't say that you don't have any stored. With immortal energy, normal grade ingredients can be easily grown. Only high grade ingredients can be considered difficult!"
"Fine, pretend I didn't ask!"
Gu Zheng immediately ignored the Artifact Spirit. Talking to it required a very strong mental fortitude, otherwise, one would be angered to death.
Ignoring the Artifact Spirit, Gu Zheng followed the two Elders out of the treasury. Only when they were outside did he have the time and mood to observe everything outside.
Outside the house was a courtyard with all kinds of flowers and trees. At a glance, one could tell that they were very old. The air here was very fresh and there was a fragrance in the air.
Although it was night time, the lights were very bright. The lights here were not the electric lights outside, but a kind of everlasting lamp. The light was very soft, and the whole courtyard was like a fairyland.
"Can I leave this place tomorrow? I'm afraid my friends outside will be worried that I've been kidnapped by you!"
Gu Zheng thought of Changfeng. He didn't know how that guy was doing now. After he woke up and realized that he was gone, he would definitely look for him.
The Chang family's power was not small, and he had saved his grandfather before. If they really couldn't find him for a long time, the outside world would probably be turned upside down by them.
That was the truth. Changfeng woke up two hours ago and saw that he was on a deserted mountain. Gu Zheng was gone and his phone was gone. He hurriedly ran down the mountain.
It took him more than an hour to go down the mountain. Then, he found a passerby and borrowed someone's phone to make a call.
When he heard that they had been attacked and that Gu Zheng had gone missing, Chang Le could not sit still any longer and said that he would personally come tomorrow. Changfeng returned to the hotel first. Other than calling the police, he was also prepared to go to the nearest garrison to seek support.
"You can go back, but ordinary people can't come in here. I'll let Gu An follow you. When the time comes, Gu An can bring you back!"
Great Elder Wuyou nodded. They had said that they would not restrict Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng could go wherever he wanted. Gu Zheng was their Sect Leader. If he could not move freely, then what kind of Sect Leader was he?
"Thank you, Great Elder!" This time, Gu Zheng did not refuse. Without anyone leading the way, he did not know how to get out. It was fine to let someone follow him.
"These two days, we will prepare for the Sect Leader's Ascension Ceremony. Unfortunately, Emei is now lonely. Even if we inform others now, they will not come. Let's not inform them!"
This time, it was Wuchou who spoke. Emei was not as good as before. Previously, five Sect Leaders had met with mishaps. Not to mention Gu Zheng, even the third Sect Leader's Ascension Ceremony did not come. They were not willing to invite them and bring shame to themselves.
In fact, if Emei was willing to invite some sects in the secular world, such as sects that had succeeded in cultivation later on, they would still be willing. However, Emei had its pride. They only dealt with the ancient sects that existed in the Flourishing Era and ignored the new sects.
In this way, their Ascension Ceremony could only be prepared by themselves.
Gu Zheng had no objections to all of this. He left everything to the two elders to prepare. In fact, the two elders were very familiar with all of this. They had participated in the Ascension Ceremony of the five Sect Leaders before, and they had prepared four of them.
With so much experience, how could they not be familiar with it?
The next morning, Gu Zheng left Emei with a young man named Gu An. Gu An was about the same age as Changfeng. Unlike Changfeng, he was a taciturn person who did not speak at all. Even if Gu Zheng took the initiative to talk to him, he would not speak. If he had not promised the Great Elder before, Gu Zheng would have even thought that he was a mute.
"Yes, on Mount Emei. Give me two hundred people, no, three hundred. I want a carpet … Ah, Gu Zheng, you are back!"
Gu Zheng had just come out of the hotel elevator when he saw a person walking towards the elevator while talking on the phone. The person looked up and was immediately stunned.
"Wait, I don't want the people. Thank you. I will contact you later!"
Changfeng quickly hung up the phone and immediately asked, "Where did you go? What happened yesterday? Did that person do anything to you?"
Changfeng asked three questions in a row. Gu Zheng smiled and shook his head. Where did he go yesterday? He could not tell Changfeng where he went. He went to the Emei Sect's encampment, not the scenic spots on Mount Emei in reality, but the real secluded Emei Sect.
Emei Sect had its own immortal protection array. Not only could outsiders not enter, they could not even see it. After Gu Zheng came out, he could not see all the buildings when he turned around. Without anyone to guide him, he would only get lost and would not be able to find the place at all.
As for what happened, Gu Zheng could not tell Changfeng.
He could not say that he was captured by an elder of a cultivation sect that had existed since the Flourishing Era and became the sect leader. Not to mention Changfeng, even Gu Zheng himself could not believe this. If he really said this, he was afraid that Changfeng would take him to the hospital to check if there was anything wrong with his head.
He could not answer whether the other person did anything to him.
His answer was like this: The other person was very good to me. When I arrived there, he gave me an immortal instrument and then took me to their treasure house. The things we were looking for with great difficulty, they had a pile of treasures, much better than what we were looking for.
Such an answer would only be regarded as a lunatic.
Gu Zheng could not answer these three questions, but he did not want to lie to him. He could only respond with a smile and then change the topic.
