Seeing that Han Songzi was already shocked, Gu Zheng continued, "Junior has another thing to confess to Grand Elder! During the Ranking Ceremony, I cheated. I was able to win because I used a food cultivation technique. "
"At that time, in order to cover up the lie of the Immortal Meteor Steps, I explained that I destroyed the plans of a Demon Sect's remaining member during my trip to Heavenly Mountain. When I left Heavenly Mountain, I met a sage-like old senior. The old senior said that I had made a contribution to the world and then used his finger to point at my forehead. When I woke up, I somehow learned the Immortal Meteor Steps. "
"Actually, the lie about the Immortal Meteor Steps wasn't all lies. At least, the fact that I met a sage-like old senior was true! However, this old senior found me a year ago. Not only did he teach me cultivation techniques and cultivation resources, he also taught me culinary skills and food cultivation techniques. " Gu Zheng paused. "After confessing about the Immortal Meteor Steps, I still have another thing to confess! In the Shu Ruins' underground cave, the amber ointment that I used was actually made in advance. As for the resources that I asked from Shu Mountain and other sects, it was only the cost of making the amber ointment. "
When he was making the fire spirit food cultivation technique, Gu Zheng asked for more than twenty types of materials from several sects. He had no choice but to cover up this matter. Otherwise, some of the details would be very troublesome.
After Gu Zheng finished speaking, the two fell into silence again.
After a full minute, Han Songzi, who had been stunned by Gu Zheng's heavy news, finally woke up.
"Regarding the art of food cultivation, did the person who passed it on to you use the Wordless Heavenly Book as well? Did he tell you his name? "
Han Songzi didn't mention that Gu Zheng had taken a "forbidden medicine". Such a small matter wasn't worth mentioning in front of today's big matter.
"He did use the Wordless Heavenly Book. He didn't tell me his name. He only told me that he was a rogue cultivator who wouldn't enter the world unless it was a big matter. He also told me that when my cultivation reached the fifth level, he would come and find me, "Gu Zheng said.
Those who could impart cultivation with a single finger were at least at the Divine Transformation Stage and the Return to Void Stage, but that was all. After all, in order to break through to the Soul Formation and Return to Void Stage, one would have to transcend the tribulation and enter the Jin Xian Realm. Once one entered the Jin Xian Realm, one would no longer remain in this world.
Han Songzi believed in the Wordless Heavenly Book. If he had reached the Divine Transformation Stage or the Return to Void Stage, he would have also used the Wordless Heavenly Book to teach his disciples. After all, if he used this method, he wouldn't have to worry about someone using methods such as' introduction 'to obtain the secret technique's cultivation method.
If Gu Zheng was telling the truth, then Shushan would have to reevaluate Gu Zheng as a person.
Gu Zheng was a treasure trove, but the guards of the treasure trove were a white cat immortal beast that could refine energy into qi, and two immortal cultivators of the Soul Formation and Void Level.
Emei Sect had five immortal cultivators, and two of them were of the Soul Formation and Void Level. As for the other three, two of them could refine qi into spirit, and one could refine energy into qi.
Similarly, based on the fact that Gu Zheng was telling the truth, everything made sense as to why the white cat immortal beast and the * * * were willing to stay in Emei Sect. Gu Zheng must have some kind of food cultivation method that could attract them.
"Gu Zheng, I think you are a smart person, and I also think you are an obedient person. You won't object to my 'introduction' to you, right?"
Even if Gu Zheng managed to solve all of his doubts, since he had already shown himself, he would still need to use the 'introduction' to be able to put down the stone in his heart.
"Grand Elder, are you joking with me? Are you really going to use the 'introduction' on me? No matter what, I am still the Sect Leader of Emei Sect! "
Gu Zheng's voice was very serious as he stared straight into Han Songzi's eyes.
Faced with Gu Zheng's sudden change, Han Songzi was stunned.
"I'm not joking with you. The 'introduction' must be done! You are a smart person. Since you have been obedient for so long, don't do anything stupid at the end! "Han Songzi sneered.
"Grand Elder's way of doing things is truly chilling! I'm not afraid to tell you that because of my uniqueness, Emei Sect is no longer the same Emei Sect as before. I have an immortal beast that can refine energy into qi guarding the mountain, and I also have a Soul Formation and Void Level cultivator as my Grand Elder. Are you really going to treat me like this? Let me tell you, have you heard of * * *? He is the Grand Elder of Emei Sect! You also know my master. He is also a Soul Formation and Void Level expert! "
Gu Zheng stood up and stared at Han Songzi with a cold smile on his face.
"Do you think I don't know what you are talking about? Why do you think Emei Sect is sealed off? Even if you have an immortal beast that can refine energy into qi, and you have two Soul Formation and Void Level experts, * * * and your master, so what? Is Shu Mountain something you can fight against? "
"Gu Zheng, a man's wealth is his own ruin! No matter what, Emei Sect is still from Shu Mountain. We are still a family connected by blood. If you are telling me the truth, why are you afraid that I will 'guide' you? After all, no one can take away your food cultivation method. "
"But now, you are so against me using 'guide' on you. Then, you must have lied to me about what you said before. Or, you must have hidden something from me! Even if we are a family connected by blood, I hate this kind of behavior! "
Han Songzi said a lot. As he spoke, the air around Gu Zheng became tighter and tighter. In the end, it was as if there was an invisible hand strangling Gu Zheng's neck, making him feel like he was suffocating.
"Cough, cough …"
The pressure around Gu Zheng disappeared, which made him bend over and cough.
Han Songzi didn't stop teaching Gu Zheng a lesson because he was kind. He just wanted to let Gu Zheng speak without being affected when he used 'guide'.
"Han Songzi, you will regret this!"
Gu Zheng, who had stopped coughing, laughed viciously.
"You have a death wish!"
Han Songzi waved his sleeve, and Gu Zheng was sent flying into the wall. When he landed, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Han Songzi didn't want to waste any more words with Gu Zheng. Before using 'guide' on Gu Zheng, he cautiously checked his body.
If Han Songzi was a Soul Formation or Void Return expert, he would be able to see that Gu Zheng had immortal power and a natal true flame in his dantian. Unfortunately, his strength was only at the Qi Refinement stage, which made it impossible for him to see through the concealment of the weapon spirit.
After checking, Han Songzi used 'guide' on Gu Zheng. In his opinion, Gu Zheng must be hiding something very important. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so resistant.
As he used 'guide' on Gu Zheng, sweat began to appear on Han Songzi's face. When the sweat turned into raindrops, it turned into panic!
'Weaving' was very powerful. Not only could it be used on others, it could also be used on oneself. Therefore, what Han Songzi wanted to know was all what Gu Zheng wanted him to know. The truth would still remain in the depths of Gu Zheng's memory, a place that no one could reach.
Because he was full of confidence at the beginning, Han Songzi didn't hold back against Gu Zheng. Even the 'guide' he used was the kind that would confuse one's thoughts. Therefore, Gu Zheng was currently in a state of unconsciousness.
"Bastard, what you said was the truth. Why are you so stubborn?"
Han Songzi was so angry that he gritted his teeth. At the same time, he was trembling with fear! He had warned himself over and over again not to mess up this matter. However, he still messed up in the end.
Everything Gu Zheng said was the truth. However, Han Songzi had mercilessly offended such a strong-willed person. It felt as if he had seen a treasure, but he had blocked the door to the treasure in a moment of hotheadedness.
Han Songzi was very afraid. Now that things had turned out this way, he had no choice but to be afraid. Gu Zheng wasn't an ant that could be trampled on. He had an immortal beast, the white cat, and two Soul Formation and Void Returning cultivators behind him! Without enough temptation, even Shu Mountain wouldn't dare to offend such a force.
"What should I do?"
Han Songzi scratched his head and finally transmitted his voice to Dan Yangzi helplessly.
It wasn't difficult for Han Songzi to treat Gu Zheng's chaotic thoughts. However, when he thought of Gu Zheng's venomous smile and his previous warning, he had no choice but to call Dan Yangzi, who was pretending to be the good guy, over.
In fact, if Gu Zheng didn't want Han Songzi to 'induce' him, Han Songzi wouldn't have been able to do it. The Mind Calming Technique was too mysterious. Although Gu Zheng's spiritual power wasn't strong enough, it was able to neutralize the power of the 'induction'. However, he was afraid that the Mind Calming Technique would automatically counterattack and cause trouble. Before Gu Zheng was' induced ', he had already removed the automatic defense of the Mind Calming Technique. This allowed Han Songzi to' induce 'him very smoothly! By doing this, he had completely let go of himself and handed it over to a bad-tempered person. It really felt as if he was going to die and then come back to life.
After a while.
The chubby Dan Yangzi, who also wore a green robe and looked like he was in his thirties, arrived at Gu Zheng's room.
"Ancestor Xuan, did you mess things up?"
Dan Yangzi looked at Han Songzi, who had already calmed down. He wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
Things like seniority were not very clear to cultivators. As for the four Grand Supreme Elders of Shushan, if they had to be classified, Xuan Qizi would be Ancestor Tian, Liu Yunzi would be Ancestor Di, Han Songzi would be Ancestor Xuan, and Han Shanzi would be Ancestor Huang.
"You seem very happy that I messed things up?" Han Songzi said with a fake smile.
"This disciple wouldn't dare."
Although Dan Yangzi was also a cultivator, he was only a little over a hundred years old. He still referred to himself as a disciple to Han Songzi and the others. However, sometimes he would be like a naughty child and joke with the Grand Supreme Elders who had watched him grow up.
"It's good that you don't dare! It's like this … "
Han Songzi told Dan Yangzi everything that had happened.
"Alright, this is going to be a little difficult to handle!"
After hearing Han Songzi's story, Dan Yangzi couldn't help but look troubled.
"You have to do it even if it's difficult. It's best to do it when your other ancestors return."
As soon as Han Songzi finished speaking, he immediately sent his Divine Thought into Gu Zheng's head to calm him down.
After a full ten minutes, Han Songzi, whose forehead was sweating again, finally cured Gu Zheng's mental confusion.
"Hehe."
As soon as Gu Zheng returned to normal, he immediately sneered at Han Songzi.
"You …" Han Songzi was tongue-tied.
If Gu Zheng wasn't so valuable, Han Songzi really wanted to strangle him to death.
"What about me? If you have the guts, don't cure me! "Gu Zheng sneered.
"Alright, Sect Master Gu, enough is enough!" Dan Yangzi shook his head.
"Enough is enough? Do you think I'll stop just because you tell me to? Who do you think you are? "
Gu Zheng jumped up and pointed at Dan Yangzi's nose. He knew that this person was Dan Yangzi, but since it was his first time seeing him, so what if he made a scene?
Dan Yangzi had a good temper, but his eyes widened after being scolded by Gu Zheng. "Old Man, Grand Elder of Shu Mountain, Dan Yangzi."
"So it's the Grand Elder of Shu Mountain, Dan Yangzi. I originally had a good impression of you and felt that you had a good eye for talent. You let Wuyou and Wuchou kidnap me and make me the Sect Master of Emei Sect. But I didn't expect you to be so inexperienced. You've run out of ideas! What are you doing now? Pretending to be a good person? What were you doing earlier? "
Facing Gu Zheng's scolding, Dan Yangzi was a little confused. He knew that Gu Zheng wasn't easy to talk to, but he didn't expect him to be so disrespectful.
Seeing that the two cultivators didn't know what to say, Gu Zheng was secretly pleased and took the initiative to change the topic.
"Shu Mountain, you've really disappointed me. Even if an ordinary man's wealth is his own ruin, I've just contributed to Shu Mountain and killed the Blood Soul, right?" Gu Zheng paused and turned to look at Han Songzi. "After seeing you, I didn't hide anything! Since I didn't hide anything, it means that I've already decided to give Shu Mountain benefits. But what about you? You actually treat me like this? Treat a Sect Master like this? Treat someone who can bring you benefits like this? Do you really think that death can scare anyone? Let me tell you, I, Gu Zheng, am not afraid of death! "
"Kid, calm down. If you'd let me 'lead the conversation', there wouldn't have been so much unhappiness!" Han Songzi forced a smile.
"Everyone has their own bottom line and temper. You've touched my bottom line, and you still think you're in the right? I'll do whatever you want me to do? What right do you have? I've already warned you before that you'll regret it, Han Songzi. Do you regret it now? Alright, I've already said what I needed to say. If you want to kill me, do as you please. "
Gu Zheng sat down casually on the chair and closed his eyes, no longer looking at their reactions.
When it was time to be arrogant, one had to be arrogant, especially at a time like this. If one wasn't arrogant, they wouldn't have any confidence and would still be suspicious. As for death, no one wasn't afraid. However, Gu Zheng knew that he wouldn't die. Especially after experiencing the 'lead' and the investigation, he was 100% sure that he wouldn't die!
If Gu Zheng's only opponent was Han Songzi, then Gu Zheng's actions would definitely infuriate Han Songzi and cause him to be beaten to death! However, Shu Mountain was a Sect. If they touched Gu Zheng, it wouldn't be worth it! Based on these prerequisites, Gu Zheng naturally understood that if Han Songzi was a dragon, he had to coil up. If he was a tiger, he had to lie down. If he was a worm, he had to crawl!
"Sect Master Gu, there's nothing that can't be solved through discussion. Ancestor Xuan indeed didn't handle this matter well. However, it's not too late to mend the pen after the sheep is lost, right? Since that's the case, and Emei is from Shu Mountain, there's no need for us to make things unmanageable, right? Living is actually a very wonderful thing. What's the purpose of cultivation? Isn't it to live, to live forever, to seek for a true self? Your original intention was to share it with Shu Mountain. Why must you abandon your original intention for a little obsession? "
Dan Yangzi's words were sincere and heartfelt, and he said a lot in one breath.
Silence. Gu Zheng's silence caused the two cultivators to wait for a full two minutes.
With a sigh, Gu Zheng opened his eyes and looked at Dan Yangzi. "Great Elder, many of your words are correct, but there are also some that are wrong! Han Songzi didn't 'handle it badly', but he did something wrong! Although he's a Grand Elder, what's there to be afraid of when he's wrong? Why do you need to cover for him? I've said before that I have my bottom line and temper. This is also an obsession that I can't get rid of! He's already touched my obsession, so he has to take responsibility for this matter. Otherwise, I don't care if I don't cultivate this true self, or I don't want this immortality! "
Gu Zheng's tone had softened, but his attitude was still very firm.
"Kid, what do you want?"
Dan Yangzi tried his best to restrain his gaze, but he still looked cold.
"Great Elder, I want to know, who's the mastermind behind this matter against me?"
Gu Zheng didn't answer Han Songzi, but looked at Dan Yangzi. He asked this to give both sides a way out.
"This …"
Great Elder's face revealed a difficult expression, and then he fiercely gritted his teeth. "This matter started because of me. I praised Sect Master Gu to Ancestor Xuan, and Ancestor Xuan was curious about Sect Master Gu's performance at the Ranking Ceremony. He sent people into the world to investigate Sect Master Gu, and then he met Senior Lao Ai."
"Later, Ancestor Tian went to see Senior Lao Ai, and when he came back, he told us not to make things difficult for you. Sigh, curiosity killed the cat! After Ancestor Tian went into seclusion, the few of us also went into seclusion. Later, before the Shu Ruins opened, I and the other Ancestors received news that the Blood Soul was killed, and we came out of seclusion one after another. Coincidentally, something happened in Kunlun, and the other Ancestors rushed over to help, and that's what happened now. "
This matter should have been Han Songzi's responsibility, but Dan Yangzi changed his mind at the last minute, and added some responsibility to him, in order to make it seem more reasonable.
Dan Yangzi added the responsibility to him, and this made Han Songzi sincerely pat his shoulder, as if he was lamenting that the two of them had made a mistake. In fact, he was praising Dan Yangzi for doing a good job.
"After the other Grand Elders came out of seclusion, did you still hide the matter of you targeting me?" Gu Zheng frowned and asked.
"Yes. Since Ancestor Tian told us not to make things difficult for you, we naturally didn't dare to let him know about this matter. "Dan Yangzi sighed, and his face was full of regret.
"If you want me to calm down, I have three conditions." Gu Zheng said seriously.
"What are the three conditions? Let's hear them!" Dan Yangzi's eyes were filled with joy.
"First, my food cultivation can be shared with Shu Mountain! However, you have to compensate me for this matter. As for the amount of resources, it will be based on the tribute that the five of you should pay to Shu Mountain after entering the Shu Ruins! "
Gu Zheng was quite ruthless, and in fact, this gave Shu Mountain a lot of leeway! After all, he had already said that they would share the resources, and this compensation would include the 'joining fee'. Moreover, the tribute for the five of them was not all precious ingredients and herbs. After all, there were no specific requirements on what to pay to Shu Mountain, as long as the total value was met.
Han Songzi and Dan Yangzi were silent for a while, and the two of them exchanged glances. Han Songzi said, "Alright, tell us your second condition!"
"Second, since these two matters were caused by you, the two of you have to apologize to me!" Gu Zheng said hatefully.
"Gu Zheng, have you had enough? No matter what, I'm still the Grand Supreme Elder. You want me to apologize to you? "
Han Songzi stared at Gu Zheng, and Gu Zheng returned his stare. "If you don't agree, then there's no need to continue this discussion! Since the two of you are in the wrong, you have to bear the consequences. If you don't even dare to admit your mistakes, then you don't deserve to be called Grand Supreme Elder! "
"Alright, I apologize!" Han Songzi gritted his teeth and said, "Kid, this matter is my fault. I'm sorry!"
"Alright, Sect Leader Gu, please calm down. We were wrong."
Since Han Songzi had already apologized, Dan Yangzi's apology was even easier to come by.
"Since the two of you have already apologized, let's let this matter pass."
Gu Zheng sighed and then said, "Third, contact Grand Elder Xuan Qizi. You have to let him know about this. I need him to give me a promise. Things like distrust, needing a lead, or investigation must never happen to me again! Don't let me forgive you today, only to have the Second Elder pop up tomorrow, and then the Fourth Uncle pop up the day after tomorrow and target me again! "Gu Zheng's voice was practically a roar.
Mount Emei had long been separated from Shushan, so the people of Shushan addressed the Grand Supreme Elders as Grand Supreme Elders. However, Gu Zheng could not address them that way.
"Kid, you don't need to let your Heavenly Grandmaster know about this matter, right? As for the promise, how about I give it to you? "Han Songzi said helplessly.
"How can Grand Supreme Elder Xuan Qizi not know? Even if he doesn't say it now, he'll know that I'm going to be a food cultivator for Shushan in the future, right? Besides, I only want Grand Supreme Elder Xuan Qizi's promise. As for Grand Supreme Elder Han Songzi's promise, I still don't dare to believe it! "
Gu Zheng's bluntness made Han Songzi's expression turn ugly. However, since he had already apologized, he did not care about this last bit of hesitation.
"Dan Yangzi, you should contact your Heavenly Grandmaster!" Han Songzi said helplessly.
Dan Yangzi nodded. "Sect Leader Gu, Heavenly Grandmaster is far away in Kunlun. You have to contact him through our Thought Transmission Jade Tablet. I'll give you a reply later."
"Alright."
After Gu Zheng agreed, Dan Yangzi left immediately.
About five minutes later, Dan Yangzi returned and looked at Han Songzi with regret. "Grand Supreme Elder Xuan, Heavenly Grandmaster was very angry when he found out about this. He punished you to go into seclusion for a year to reflect on your mistakes!"
"Sigh, I did it for Shushan!"
Han Songzi sighed. He glanced at Dan Yangzi and Gu Zheng with disinterest and left directly.
"Sect Leader Gu, I didn't bring any medicine with me just now. I'll give you this bottle of Rain Dew Pills. Firstly, it's for you to heal your injuries. Secondly, it's my apology."
"It's all in the past. This little injury is nothing. Grand Elder doesn't need to give me such a heavy compensation, right?"
A smile appeared on Gu Zheng's face. Although he said so, he still took the jade bottle from Dan Yangzi without hesitation.
Healing Dan was the lowest level of healing Dan. Although the Rain Dew Pill was a middle-level healing Dan, its effect was actually a little worse than Gu Zheng's low-level Herbalife Cultivation.
Although the Rain Dew Pill's effect was not as good as Herbalife Cultivation, it could still be stored. Moreover, the bottle given by Dan Yangzi contained no less than fifty pills. Overall, it was not a low amount! At least for the Emei Sect, they couldn't take out fifty Rain Dew Pills. The pills they usually used were mainly healing Dan. They didn't even have ten Rain Dew Pills in reserve.
"This gift isn't too heavy. According to the description of the disciples, the effect of the Rain Dew Pill is not as good as the medicine you let them drink. To be honest, I'm really looking forward to when Sect Leader Gu will become a Food Cultivator! "Dan Yangzi said.
"Not today. The Great Hall has already agreed to host the banquet. Tomorrow is also not possible. I have to go to the Hidden Sword Peak to try my luck. How about the day after tomorrow? After the Hidden Sword Peak, I plan to stay in Shushan for three days. In these three days, as long as you provide me with the resources, I'll make whatever Food Cultivator I know. "
The current reality was that Shushan already knew what kind of Food Cultivator Gu Zheng knew. Even the main ingredients and supplementary materials needed for these Food Cultivators were all 'fabricated' by Gu Zheng. He wanted them to see it.
"Okay, three days is enough." Dan Yangzi nodded.
"Great Elder, you still haven't told me what Grand Elder Xuan Qizi said!" Gu Zheng asked.
"The matter in Kunlun has been settled. The Heavenly Grandmaster will be back in the afternoon, so he didn't tell me too much. He just told me to tell you that he's very sorry that this kind of distrust happened! The promise you need, he has already promised. "
Dan Yangzi paused and then said goodbye to Gu Zheng. "Sect Leader Gu, have a good rest. I won't disturb you anymore. Let's talk again when we have time."
"Deference is no substitute for obedience. Take care, Great Elder. I'm injured, so I won't see you off."
Gu Zheng finished speaking and coughed twice to show his pain.
"Sect Leader Gu, have a good rest. Goodbye!"
The Great Elder smiled and didn't mind.
In the afternoon, at the back of Shushan.
Xuan Qizi had already returned and was listening to Han Songzi's account of the whole matter.
"Ancestor, this is what happened. Do you have any doubts?"
For Xuan Qizi and Liu Yunzi, these two veteran cultivators, even Han Songzi and the others had to respectfully address them as Ancestor. These two people were almost of the same era as Mao Zedong.
Xuan Qizi didn't say anything. He just looked at the clouds in the sky with his hands behind his back, so that no one could see the expression on his face.
"Senior brother, do you want me to investigate Gu Zheng again? Perhaps because Han Songzi's cultivation is not high enough, there are some things that he can't investigate! I have a faint feeling that this kid's secrets aren't as few as he said. "
Liu Yunzi and Xuan Qizi were indeed brothers. Back then, they were called the 'Two Prides of Shushan'.
If Liu Yunzi really went to investigate Gu Zheng, then this matter would be troublesome. After all, Liu Yunzi was a Soul Formation and Void Return cultivator. His investigation spirit wouldn't be able to hide.
"Junior brother, he's just a cultivator. The possibility of him hiding from Han Songzi is zero. Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a big reaction to the distrust and made such a few requests. "
Xuan Qizi turned around and looked at Liu Yunzi. "No matter what, Gu Zheng is also a member of Shushan. There's really no benefit in doing some things so ruthlessly. You suspect that he has hidden secrets. Actually, I have this feeling too! However, people have to know how to be content. Just like in his request, don't let anything that you don't trust happen to him again. I think that satisfying his request will be beneficial to everyone. "
As soon as Xuan Qizi finished speaking, Liu Yunzi nodded obediently.
Seeing that no one had anything to say, Xuan Qizi flew up on his sword, and his voice clearly appeared in everyone's mind.
"Everyone, disperse. I'm going to check on Gu Zheng."
