Gu Zuo was still copying books under the lamp. He felt that the library was gradually emptying out, so he turned behind him and said without looking back: "Deacon Wu, wait a moment, I will be ready here soon. I'm very sorry for wasting your time."

.”

Elder Lin stood behind Gu Zuo and sighed as he looked at the reflection of Gu Zuo writing furiously on the wall. This scene reminded him of his young self. Once upon a time, he was just as hardworking, but as the Nanhua Sect became increasingly wealthy,

, now the disciples in the sect rarely have such enthusiasm for practice.

"Xiao Gu, as an elder, I am very pleased that you have worked so hard, but..."

Gu Zuo quickly turned around, put down his pen and saluted: "It turns out to be Elder Lin."

Elder Lin paused and asked Gu Zuo to sit down. He sat opposite him and said carefully, "But no matter how hard you work, no matter how attentive you are, if you don't choose the right direction, it will just be a waste of time."

Gu Zuo listened quietly to the advice, but he was a little distracted. He glanced at the table with the corner of his eye. There were still three pages left in the first volume of the Taoist book on formation analysis.

Elder Lin couldn't help but feel extremely regretful: "Nowadays, there are very few young people who can study these Yili with such concentration as you do, Xiao Gu. Everyone is dreaming about flying to the sky and escaping from the earth, moving mountains and seas. Hey, they don't know the origin of my Nanhua sect.

Dao, in the midst of these boring Yili. It's just a pity..."

As he said this, he finally made up his mind. Even if he couldn't bear to hurt this young man, he still had to say what he needed to say.

"Sometimes, it is not a good thing to get into trouble. Your Qihai cannot practice the Qianyuan Formation Dao. Even if you study hard day and night, it will be useless. You are not suitable for the Formation Dao. This is a congenital decision.

It has to be acquired through hard work. There is a great road between choices. You have to know in your mind what you should fight for and what you should give up."

It's finally a showdown, Gu Zuo thought to himself, two months is not easy at all.

but......

He glanced at the unfinished first volume on the desk and the second volume next to it, and then looked at more other books in the library, feeling very unwilling to do so.

"Elder Lin, I want to try again..."

"Gu Zuo!" Elder Lin slapped the table, hoping to enlighten people: "Wake up! Stop being so stubborn!"

Gu Zuo was stunned and asked: "Elder Lin, are you planning to expel me out?"

Elder Lin deliberately made a serious face and said: "Please resign and leave the Nanhua Sect by yourself."

Gu Zuodao: "Can you give me a little more time?"

Elder Lin felt a little guilty and did not dare to look directly at Gu Zuo. He said harshly: "If you don't refuse, I will have to expel you from the mountain gate!"

Gu Zuo thought for a while and asked: "Elder Lin, may I ask, which sect rule did this disciple break?"

Elder Lin coughed dryly and said: "It's not a matter of sect rules. You are really not suitable for the formation method. What good will it do to you to stay in Nanhua? There is not necessarily something wrong with your talent, maybe it is just not suitable for our sect.

Maybe it would be better if you change the Middle Way. As long as you resign, I can write a letter and introduce you. Looking at the entire Lingnan Road, our Nanhua School still has some respect. Don't worry, I will write down the whole story clearly.

Let the senior practitioners from other sects give you some diagnosis and treatment."

Don't do this. The two Nascent Souls of Yunmeng Sect can't do anything together. What else can others do? If you really want to tell this matter, Gu Zuo went to someone else's place. He was just a material to be diagnosed and treated. How could there be any chance?

What about becoming an outside disciple and learning Taoism?

Gu Zuo immediately refused: "Elder Lin, I don't want this..."

Before he finished speaking, Elder Lin stood up and said, "Gu Zuo, I'm doing this for your own good. Don't be so stubborn! Forget it, do you really think that our Nanhua faction won't expel you?"

Gu Zuo was stunned and asked again: "What mistake did the disciple make?"

In one sentence, Elder Lin was immediately discouraged. He was expelled because of his poor qualifications. The Nanhua sect could not do such a thing. From the leader to the elders to all the deacons, they all cherished feathers.

A disciple who practices hard and has not made any mistakes is expelled from the door just because his talent is dull. It is too unpleasant and snobbish to spread the word!

After sorting out his thoughts, Elder Lin said: "There are three options for you to choose from. One, I will fire you; two, you will resign... You choose."

He had originally prepared a third path, in which Gu Zuo's monthly offering would be the worst one, which was one spiritual stone per month, and he would have raised him in vain. But the kind-hearted Elder Lin decided to block this path.

Die, if you really want to do this, Gu Zuo will be useless in this life, and the old man can't bear it.

After thinking for a while, he said: "If you resign yourself, I can make the decision and give you some compensation."

Gu Zuo knew that this day had come. Although he was reluctant to give up, but the main goal was achieved, he no longer persisted. He lowered his head and said, "Yes, disciple understands... Hmm? Compensation?"

He really didn't expect compensation, and he felt guilty and moved at the same time. He immediately gave Elder Lin a good person card and planned to write it down in a notebook for future repayment.

The compensation given by Elder Lin was a set of five thunder, water and fire arrays. It was a small array, capable of both offense and defense. It was a good companion for many wealthy casual cultivators when traveling.

How much is such a set of arrays worth?

In response to Gu Zuo's question, Elder Lin stroked his beard and smiled: "Made in Nanhua, every piece of fine quality! A set of Five Thunder, Water and Fire Formation was just sold last month for forty spiritual stones. The man surnamed Liu couldn't stop being grateful.

hehe."

This compensation is quite good and reflects the full sincerity of the Nanhua sect. Gu Zuo also intends to accept it, but he would rather exchange it for the spirit stone. He has already copied the refining method of the Five Thunder, Water and Fire Formation into a book, so he might not be able to use it to search for spirits after he leaves.

I refine the zhenqi by myself. As for the materials, I have gained a lot of knowledge about formations in the past two days. I know that although the materials used by the Nanhua sect to refine the formations are good, they are definitely not as good as the five triangular flags I have on my finger.

.

He already had a preliminary plan to make a powerful array using five small flags as the main material and adding some other things. Therefore, the five thunder, water and fire array seemed useless to him.

"Elder Lin, my disciples don't have many spiritual stones, so they can't support the formation..."

Before he finished speaking, Elder Lin interrupted with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll make the decision and give you ten more spiritual stones, which will be enough for you to use for a year, haha..."

While he was smiling, he heard Gu Zuo say: "Elder Lin has misunderstood. What I mean is that the formation plate is difficult to use in the disciple's hands. Why not convert the formation plate into spiritual stones and give them to the disciple at this price? Isn't that okay?

As long as the elder agrees, the disciple will write a letter to resign now."

Elder Lin suddenly looked very unhappy. It was true that he had sold forty spiritual stones last month, but the cost of this formation plate could not exceed thirty yuan. At the current market price, it would be about twenty spiritual stones.

Well, in the blink of an eye, it was like selling the array to myself at the market price.

But to Elder Lin, giving more than ten or twenty spiritual stones was nothing. What was important was that Gu Zuo resigned himself, which would be a side issue. He agreed happily: "Okay, I'll give it to you."

Forty spiritual stones!”

Gu Zuo thought for a while and said, "The elder just said that I would like to replenish my disciple with ten spiritual stones?"
