"Hey, why are you so bored? How long are you going to look at this pile of broken rocks? What's there to look at?"
In the cave, Wan 'er followed behind with her head drooped. Even with her inhuman body and extremely powerful cultivation base, she never felt tired. At this moment, after accompanying Gu Zheng for a few days, she finally could not help but speak up.
"It's only been a few days, and you're already so impatient. You're only looking at rocks, but what I see is different from what you see. Naturally, it's not as boring as you think. Wait a little longer, I'll probably stop looking at it in a dozen days." Gu Zheng glanced at Wan 'er beside him and spoke slowly. Then, he continued to look at the rock in front of him as if it was some kind of scenic relic. He kept praising it.
"Oh my god, I might as well go back and cultivate with this little bit of time. It's going to delay my growth again."
Wan 'er lowered her head and was somewhat unwilling. Her bare little feet kept kicking a hard rock in front of her. Some gravel kept falling down from above to vent her dissatisfaction.
"Don't think about it. Your growth has reached its limit. Even if I give you millions of years, it will still be the same no matter how much you cultivate. You might as well enjoy the beauty of the world with this little bit of time. Why do you have to cultivate bitterly every day and night?" Gu Zheng said without raising his head.
He was not wrong. Since the Flying Serpent Clan made her, they also restricted her. With her current appearance, it was really beyond his imagination that she could cultivate to this level. Normally, her cultivation base would not even be able to break through to the Grand Heavenly Realm. This was because her strength should be closely related to the Flying Serpent Clan. Perhaps this was what made her special. Even the Phoenix Clan admired her very much.
"Impossible. The Heavenly Dao is born from rest. Don't ask, just like …"
When Wan 'er heard this, she immediately refuted. She even said some profound words. She shook her head as if she was intoxicated.
"Stop, stop, stop first. Who taught you this set of theoretical knowledge? Do you know what it means? "After pausing for a moment, Gu Zheng couldn't help but interrupt the other party's leisurely mood and asked.
"Of course I know. This was once told to me by a respectable old man. He also said that when I truly understand it, I will understand my own meaning. I will be able to understand it completely. I think by then, I will have gained a lot, and my power will increase by leaps and bounds. When that time comes, you will not be able to beat me. I will beat you to the ground and beg for mercy," Wan 'er said proudly.
"How long have you been thinking? Do you understand what you mean?" Gu Zheng looked at her expression and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes as he asked.
"No, I've been looking at it for a long time. When I have nothing to do, I'll think about it. Unfortunately, I haven't made any progress." Wan 'er lowered her head and spoke in a dejected manner.
"I think it's better if you don't understand." Gu Zheng didn't ask who the old man was. From what the old man said to her, it was obvious that he wasn't at an ordinary level.
"Hey, you tell me clearly. Do you understand what it means? Don't go!"
Seeing that Gu Zheng was no longer observing the broken stone in front of him, he turned around and walked away. Wan 'er, who seemed to have understood something, shouted at Gu Zheng, but the latter ignored her and left a few steps away.
"So stingy!"
Wan 'er pouted and stomped on the ground to vent her dissatisfaction, but she still quickened her pace to catch up. But this time, she found that the other party was no longer looking at the stone aimlessly, nor was he heading to the temporary place where they were first received. Instead, he seemed to be rushing all the way outside.
"Hey, hey, where are you going? You haven't finished what you promised sister, why are you leaving?" Wan 'er stepped forward with her short legs and sped up to Gu Zheng's side, asking anxiously.
Although she didn't understand what the other party said, she knew that Sister Phoenix seemed to have something to ask of him. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so agitated.
Gu Zheng's figure suddenly stopped. Wan 'er didn't expect it and rushed out far away. She quickly stopped and looked back with some dissatisfaction. "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you say anything when you stopped? "
"I have a name. Didn't you hear it? Yelling like that, you don't have any manners." Gu Zheng said indifferently with an expressionless face. His slightly taut face made people feel as if dark clouds were pressing down on a city, threatening to destroy it.
"I was born by heaven and earth. Who taught me? You teach me? Then go find trouble with my parents. Why are you yelling at me? "Wan 'er was not afraid at all. Instead, she stood up and said like an old man.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng was speechless in his heart. Could it be that he dared to find trouble with the heavens and earth? Did he feel that he was not dying fast enough? To a certain extent, he was still the child of the other party. Or perhaps, he should find trouble with the Flying Serpent Clan. The other party's innate talent was not bad, but unfortunately, they had been avoiding contact with the outside world. They were like ignorant barbarians.
"Forget it, I don't want to talk nonsense with you. If you were my subordinate, I would definitely let you know why the flowers are so red." Gu Zheng paused and continued to walk forward, looking like he didn't want to talk to her.
"Of course I know why the flowers are red. When the flowers bloom, they are as red as blood. Do you think I don't know anything?" Wan 'er, who didn't understand Gu Zheng's hidden meaning, deliberately said loudly when Gu Zheng walked past her. She also looked at Gu Zheng with a look of contempt.
"Child!"
Gu Zheng only said this sentence, which made Wan 'er's face turn even redder. She raised her small hand and clenched it tightly. She wanted to hit the hateful back in front of her. Unfortunately, she knew that she was no match for him now. However, she didn't have any magic treasures to transform, so she couldn't do it.
"You are the child!"
After saying this angrily, she didn't leave. She also followed behind Gu Zheng.
After a while, they were about to leave the exit. Wan 'er, who had been expressionless all the way, finally couldn't help but speak.
"Hey, where are you going? Are you leaving now? Didn't you promise me something? "
"You are young, but you care about so much." Gu Zheng glanced at her. After saying this, he sped up and flew up from the mountain pass.
"I am not tall, but I am not a newborn child. Don't look at me with that pair of glasses." Wan 'er, who followed closely, retorted loudly.
"Wait until you learn to be polite."
As Gu Zheng spoke, he looked behind him with his glasses. Three figures had already appeared in the distance. They were still rushing over here at an extremely fast speed.
Wan 'er also saw them. After feeling the other party's aura, she didn't panic. Below her was the headquarters of the Phoenix Clan. Even if there were ten more of them, it would be useless. Besides, would they dare to attack?
They wouldn't! There was no doubt about this. Hence, she stood there and watched the other party steadily. However, she was a little further away from Gu Zheng. If there was anything wrong with the figures, she would immediately run in.
They didn't dare to attack the Phoenix Clan, nor did they dare to attack below. However, it didn't mean that they couldn't catch her. She felt that she couldn't defeat any of them. Their aura was even more terrifying than Gu Zheng's. It was better to be careful.
Gu Zheng naturally saw her actions. He didn't have any intention of mocking her. To be angry with an immature child pretending to be an adult would be asking for trouble. Before they arrived, he went to greet them, leaving behind Wan 'er, who wanted to follow but didn't dare to.
"They came so quickly. I thought I would only be here in two days. I'm sorry to disturb your rest." Gu Zheng said happily to Elder Xiong and Zhu Niao, who were approaching.
"Why not? Although the signal you sent wasn't urgent, you called us over in such a short time. Obviously, something happened," Xiong Lai said with a smile.
"As for disturbing our rest, that's even more impossible. At least our injuries have been stabilized these days. As long as we don't fight to the death, it won't affect us. We just need time to rest. After all, we didn't fight to the death in the end and suffered heavy injuries," Zhu Niao said confidently. At the end, she was a little embarrassed.
Although she was exaggerating, their injuries had been stabilized. However, Elder Xiong's condition was different. He couldn't use his bloodline power. The next time he used it, he would be more proficient and powerful.
However, even without using his bloodline, Elder Xiong was still incomparably powerful.
"That's very good. In fact, I'm mainly here for her. I've already found her family. Since you want to enter, quickly send her over. Don't let them worry." Gu Zheng looked at the two of them. They were in good spirits. It seemed like it was just as Zhu Niao had said. They needed time, so he directly told them his purpose for coming.
"Her? Her condition isn't very good right now. Will she misunderstand? "Zhu Niao looked at Huo Feng, who was being carried on Elder Xiong's back, and said worriedly.
"No, this is also your opportunity. You must grasp it well." Gu Zheng laughed. He didn't explain the matter clearly. Otherwise, it would be one less surprise.
Zhu Niao herself was destined to never become an existence like a phoenix. However, she could infinitely increase the purity of her bloodline. Not only could she increase her strength, but she could also increase the upper limit of her growth. The latter was the most important part.
After all, her strength had already reached the peak of her talent. If she wanted to take another step forward, it would be impossible under normal circumstances. She was just like Elder Xiong. However, after Elder Xiong opened his sealed memories, she, who had regained control of her strength, had a glimmer of hope. As for Zhu Niao, even with the things Gu Zheng had given her, she couldn't make any substantial progress.
When Gu Zheng came this time, he naturally knew where this place was. In his heart, he had already planned to let Zhu Niao and the others come. Taking advantage of the situation, he agreed to bring Huo Feng, who was their First Elder, over.
The Vermilion Bird looked around and murmured, "Is this a fortune?"
She didn't know why, but when she approached this place, she had a special feeling of excitement in her heart. It was as if there was something in the dark that was attracting her. When she heard Gu Zheng's words, she roughly understood that this person probably had something she needed behind him.
At this moment, Zhu Niao still didn't know where this place was. She didn't even know the identity of this woman. The only thing she knew was that this woman wasn't weak. If she was weak, she wouldn't have been locked up by the Old Ancestor. The second thing was that she had saved Gu Zheng's life.
"Let's go. You will naturally know when we reach the bottom. For her sake, the other party will definitely not refuse." Gu Zheng smiled.
He believed that the other party would definitely not refuse. After all, something that was extremely difficult for others might be as easy as lifting a finger for them. It was just a matter of whether they were willing or not.
The three of them directly descended. Xiong Lai looked at Wan 'er who had stopped at the side and asked with some surprise.
"Is this little girl also from here? She looks very cute! "
"A child who has grown up." Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows at Wan 'er. "We're going down. Do you want to stay here?"
"It's none of your business. I will go wherever I want." Wan 'er said to Gu Zheng with a frown. She raised her head high with a look of disdain.
However, after waiting for a while, Wan 'er felt a little strange. Why did the other party not continue to mock her? She turned her head and her mouth twitched. She felt that she was going to cry again. The other party had already disappeared to the side.
She opened her mouth and wanted to cry, but found that there was no one around. Especially her sister, who always showed this expression, was also not here. She could only put away her expression and also descend.
When she arrived at the place where the guests were received, Feng Ying was already chatting with Gu Zheng. She came inside and only let everyone take a look, then continued with her own matters.
"Are you sure you want to give this opportunity to her? Even for you, it is a very good opportunity. It can definitely let you take another step forward." Feng Ying asked with some surprise.
She did not quite understand what Gu Zheng was doing. After all, he was giving his own opportunity to someone else. Even if it was his own friend, he would not go so far.
"I know what you're thinking." Gu Zheng turned his head and smiled at the excited Zhu Bird. Then, he said to Feng Ying seriously, "For me, if I want to take another step forward, I have great confidence. But for my friend, perhaps this is her only chance."
"So for me, it is not a big deal. Moreover, my friend needs to take a risk and go to an extremely dangerous place with me. Opportunity and danger coexist. If she can take another step forward, then it will be even safer. For me and for her, it is a very good thing. I just chose the best choice."
In the face of Gu Zheng's refusal, Feng Ying did not know what to say. Should she say that he was too stupid or too stupid? If it were her, she did not know if she could be as open-minded as him. Even if the benefits she received were less, it was still an improvement. At this level, every step was difficult. Every step was extremely difficult. However, if there was no step after step like this, then there was no hope at all.
Even if they knew that the hope was slim, everyone was climbing up. They would not miss any opportunity to make themselves stronger. However, the person in front of her was completely different from the others.
"Since you have made your decision, I can naturally show enough sincerity. For her, it can be said that this is an unprecedented opportunity. However, she has a relatively pure bloodline in her body and is also a member of the Phoenix Clan. I am willing to give it to her." Feng Ying nodded to show that she understood.
At the side, Zhu Niao did not have the stability of a Peak Grand Luo. She was so excited that she could not control her body. She kept trembling because she had actually come to the Phoenix Clan that was rumored to have disappeared long ago. Not to mention that Gu Zheng had given up an excellent opportunity to improve her strength.
She also understood that if she really accepted this mission, then the favor she owed would not be as simple as just being a gatekeeper. It could even be said that she would use her life to repay this favor. That was because the price Gu Zheng paid this time was sufficiently high.
Not to mention that she had given the Cleansing Glass Fire to him, it should be known that the Phoenix Clan could not produce the Cleansing Glass Fire anymore. They did not mention the specific reason, but obviously, they were more certain of the preciousness of the Cleansing Glass Fire. Moreover, they had saved the Phoenix Clan's Elder who was in the late stage of the Sage-to-be.
That was the legendary Golden Phoenix Heart's Blood!
The Golden Phoenix Heart's Blood had to be taken out. It could be said that the other party needed at least a Phoenix of the same cultivation to take it out. And the other party had to fall into a deep sleep to make up for such a huge loss. After waking up, there would be a period of weakness for thousands of years. Even the path of future progress would be blocked. It could be seen that the price was not small.
Since the cost was so huge, it naturally had its value. Not to mention that the power contained in it could allow Gu Zheng to reach the Peak Grand Luo, the most precious thing was that it contained the power of the Phoenix. It could give the devourer a chance to be reborn as a Phoenix. Although the conditions were not as casual as the Phoenix's, where the body had to be kept intact, it could not be said that it was a life-saving thing.
As long as the body was mostly intact, even if it was a fatal injury such as a broken heart or an explosion of the head, it could be recovered. It was really like the rebirth of a Phoenix. As long as the other party was not crazy enough to dismember the body, there would be no chance of recovery.
However, although this was good, it was actually not very useful in future battles. After all, one could only be completely at ease when the enemy in front of them was smashed into pieces. Who did not have a few life-saving methods?
This was another potential benefit. That was, before the power of the Heart's Blood's core was triggered, the speed of the body's cultivation and absorption of spiritual energy, as well as the speed of recovery of the body's injuries, would be three times higher than usual. This was the most terrifying part.
These were only benefits for ordinary people, not to mention that the Zhu Niao's bloodline was from the Phoenix Clan. The benefits for her were even more innumerable. It could even be said that her bloodline was extremely pure. For example, it was only 50% in the past. This time, it would be at least 80%. What did this mean? The Zhu Niao did not even dare to think about it.
It was equivalent to giving up the potential of a member of the Phoenix Clan to provide help to an outsider. It could be seen how great the value Gu Zheng gave them was this time. He directly gave them an offer that they could not refuse.
Elder Xiong looked at the Zhu Niao with great gratification. He knew that the regret in the Zhu Niao's heart had finally been fulfilled. The power of the bloodline in her body was also extremely pure. Before this, it was much stronger than the Zhu Niao. This was also why the Demon God personally came to capture her and did not care so much about the Zhu Niao.
After the improvement that Gu Zheng gave her last time and this time, she had finally caught up with her, or rather surpassed her. Her potential was higher than her. After all, she was only forcibly integrated, while the other party was born with the bloodline.
She was not jealous. Instead, she was happy for her!
