Chapter 39: Mortals also accept disciples
She glanced at him and slowly lowered her eyes: "Because of this."
Qin Yiyao took out a purple-gold pendant from under her collar. The moment Gu Heng saw the thing, he felt that it must be very valuable.
He reached out to take it and take a closer look, then he saw Qin Yiyao's wary eyes.
Gu Heng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "This thing... is very precious, right?"
"Um."
"I originally lived in an alley on the southern edge of the city, but that place was occupied by the Black Forest Gang, and they drove me out. But I hid this jade under a brick, and I secretly went back to get it tonight, and then they found it..."
She sighed.
Gu Heng nodded slightly and pondered for a while: "Is this a relic left to you by your family?"
"...yes."
She thought about it and realized that this thing was placed in the coffin before her death, so it could be considered a relic, and a very important one at that.
The former territory of the Great Qin Empire covered half of the Xuantian Realm. The imperial treasury was everywhere, guarded by complex and powerful forbidden formations. This purple gold pendant was the key to open every treasury!
Originally, Qin Yiyao had considered that after her resurrection, the Qin Empire might collapse, and she would have to start from scratch again. She even anticipated that she would lose all her cultivation. But she never expected that so many of her remaining elixirs and treasures would lose their effectiveness because of the formation she had set up.
Therefore, the purple gold spirit pendant in Qin Yiyao's hand is actually useless now, but she cannot give up.
"well..."
This girl's experience might be even more tragic than Gu Heng imagined.
Looking at her appearance, he used to think that she must have come from a wealthy family, but she met with some accident that he didn't know about, which led to her becoming homeless. The purple gold pendant must be valuable, but she was reluctant to pawn it.
How can the relics left by relatives be replaced so easily?
He raised his hand, pressed her head, and comforted her: "Do you have anywhere else to go?"
Qin Yiyao shook her head.
"Then stay here with me."
She looked up in surprise, only to find that Gu Heng had already stood up and put away the dishes and chopsticks.
"But it's not for nothing. You have to be my apprentice."
He added.
"apprentice?"
"I'm a doctor who makes medicine to save lives. I've just arrived in Yunling City and bought this shop. I have to start all over again and I'm in need of an assistant. Since I saved you tonight, it's probably our destiny."
"Anyway, it doesn't matter if you learn all my skills in refining medicine. What do you think? Are you willing?"
"...good."
Qin Yiyao didn't think about it for long before agreeing.
She really didn't know what to do. She was alone anyway, and there might not be anyone she knew in this world.
"Then you can call me Master from now on."
Gu Heng shrugged, thinking that as a mortal, he also had a disciple, which was something he had never thought of.
"But you...Master took me in. Aren't you afraid that the Black Forest Gang will come looking for you?"
Qin Yiyao's worries were not groundless. After all, the Black Forest Gang was a strong force outside Yunling City. They had four or five Jindan-stage cultivators. Although they did not dare to cause trouble in the east, west, or north of the city, this was the south of the city, and she was afraid that Gu Heng would get into trouble because of her.
"I'm not afraid."
Gu Heng said nonchalantly: "The Black Forest Gang is not worth my fear."
If an ordinary minions came, he could defeat them in just two moves. But if a cultivator who had reached the foundation-building stage really came, haha... there was no antidote for his poison.He still remembered the first time he killed a Jindan stage cultivator with poison in Qingmu City.
At that time, Gu Heng knew that the gap between weak cultivators and ordinary people was not that big.
So, there's nothing to be afraid of.
"...Hmm."
Qin Yiyao looked at him quietly and felt that her idea was probably correct. He did not look like an ordinary mortal.
"Go back to bed. You must be very tired. The bed is made up upstairs."
"Also, take this thing and practice well."
Gu Heng seemed to be performing a magic trick - he actually took out a book from the system backpack and handed it to Qin Yiyao.
She took it and looked at the big words on the cover -
"body".
When she opened it, Qin Yiyao's brows jumped.
Gilded ancient characters, this is the Taixu immortal text!
Qin Yiyao suddenly remembered what kind of book this was.
Because she had also been looking for this immortal book that had completely disappeared during the Taixu period.
It is rumored that during the prehistoric period, the boundary of the Xuantian Realm was blurred and unclear, which led to the connection between the other realms. The ancient realm, the immortal realm, the underworld, the demon realm and the "mortal realm" of the Xuantian Realm, the five realms were connected and had a passage. It was also from that time that above the Supreme Saint Stage, there was the "Immortal Stage" that the Xuantian Realm had never had before!
After reaching the tenth level of immortality, one enters the realm of "immortality"!
And below the fairyland is collectively called the "mortal realm".
Transcend the ordinary and become immortal.
During the prehistoric period, a small number of powerful immortals emerged in the Xuantian Realm. They wrote extremely precious books to pass on their skills and experiences to future generations. Among them are "Hongmeng Pharmacopoeia", "Taishang Pojie Jue", and so on.
The book "Body" is one of them.
This was written by a powerful ancient warrior who had reached the tenth level of immortality. He had reached the pinnacle in physical cultivation. According to the methods in this book, one can temper the body and transform the flesh. Even a mortal with no foundation can temper the body to a certain degree and grow a root of Tao!
Even if you just follow the steps described in this book, you can steadily move towards becoming a strong person. Although you will have to rely on your personal understanding of the path in the future, this book can at least help you avoid many difficult and painful journeys!
However, at the end of the prehistoric times, a war broke out among the five realms, causing the boundary walls to become unstable, the channels of the five realms to fall apart, and even leading to a disaster of destroying the realms.
After the disaster, countless lives were killed or injured.
Since then, the so-called "period of ascension to immortality" has become an ethereal myth that cannot be traced.
Qin Yiyao also wanted to find the "way to become immortal", to this end, she expanded the territory and built the Qin Empire to its peak, but before she could reap any rewards on the road to immortality, she had to exit sadly.
It's just a sad thing.
She looked at the thick, ancient, yellowed old book with her eyes flashing and her heart agitated.
This "Body" book is actually in his hands! ?
Could it be that he practiced this book "Body"?
Qin Yiyao suddenly realized that her new master had many secrets, and it was impossible for her to see through them now.
Including his cultivation.
Could it be that he has reached the stage of immortality?
Very likely!
Although Qin Yiyao has no cultivation now, she will never forget the feelings of cultivators of any strength. Even if a supreme saint cultivator stands in front of her, she can still feel certain clues.
Only he didn't!Perhaps noticing her puzzled gaze, Gu Heng turned around and said, "You are weak, and the methods in this book are quite suitable for you. Train your body well, and maybe you can practice sword or something in the future."
Of course, this book was given to me by the system after I had mastered the "Physical Training" skill to the maximum level.
This is also the most plain book given by the system, because there is only one word written on it, which tells you clearly that if you practice according to this book, your body will definitely be strong.
It's not like that "Hongmeng Pharmacopoeia" which is so mysterious.
Of course, Gu Heng didn't practice, because his body refining had reached the maximum level, and he had read the book, and the content inside was a bit... too simple. When he was refining his body on his own, he had systematic guidance and practiced step by step.
In his opinion, the contents of this book can only be used as a practice for people with no basic knowledge.
It just so happens that Qin Yiyao is such a person.
"Thank you for the book, Master. I will practice hard."
Qin Yiyao smiled and nodded.
Looking at him again at this moment, I felt that he was extraordinary and sharp, shining like a galaxy, and it seemed that he was only one step away from reaching the ultimate peak.
Is the last step on the road to immortality to return to the mortal world, restrain one's edge, and refine one's immortal heart?
So that's why he is here, wanting to be a mortal and feel the last bit of understanding that the world can give him?
She never thought that in her lifetime, she had gained nothing in her pursuit of the vague and hopeless path to immortality, but after her rebirth, in an alley in the later dynasty, she, who had become a mortal, met the person who was truly on the path to immortality.
And now, she has become his apprentice.
It really is a matter of time and fate.
Qin Yiyao felt that she might have found the "opportunity" that she had been looking for for many years.
...
Outside Yunling City, on the edge of Yunling Forest, on Black Forest Mountain.
It has been decades since the Black Forest Gang took root here.
"Bang!"
A loud noise was heard from the stone fortress on the top of the mountain, followed by the sound of blood and flesh splattering.
A tall and strong man crawled out from the ground, covered in blood. He staggered forward two or three meters, then fell to his knees, gasping for breath, as if he had used up all his strength to recover.
"Please, please spare my life, Boss!"
"I really didn't lie!"
He fell to his knees and kowtowed desperately.
At one side, a middle-aged man with a livid face sat on the main seat, his face so gloomy that it looked like water was about to drip.
Huang Su, the leader of the Black Forest Gang, listened to his men's pleas for mercy and silently wondered what had happened tonight.
Right in front of him, and under the eyes of all these gang members, Hong Ba's body was lying there, still warm, with his eyes wide open, as if he died with his eyes open.
All the tendons and veins in my body are broken.
It was an extremely painful death.
As for what happened... after hearing this guy tell it all with tears and snot, scared to death, Huang Su felt something was wrong the more he listened.
They went to the south of Yunling City to take advantage of the mortals and occupied those houses, planning to rent them out at a high price. Then, a stinky kid, after being kicked out, ran back in the middle of the night to steal things, and was discovered by them...
Then when I caught that damn kid, I was taught a lesson...
With just one move, Hong Ba was beaten to death!
