Gu Chen was completely unaware of the conversation between the Yang brothers and sisters. He came to Gongdefang alone, and as soon as he entered, he was stopped by a bronze killer.
"Congratulations to you, Fellow Daoist Chen, you have indeed passed the assessment."
The voice was that of Huang Pingzhang, and he was wearing a bronze mask. This kind of mask has the effect of shielding spiritual consciousness from prying eyes, so he didn't recognize it immediately.
"Did Fellow Daoist Huang wait for me here on purpose?"
Gu Chen nodded and walked around Gongde Square with Huang Pingzhang, just so he could help him familiarize himself with the situation.
"I'm just waiting for you for one reason. The more important reason is that I'm here to hand over the Nine Yin Stone."
Huang Pingzhang said with a smile.
"Oh? Fellow Daoist Huang is actually willing to tell me about the Nine Yin Stone."
Gu Chen was slightly surprised. Previously, Huang Pingzhang was very concerned about Jiuyin Stone. He asked several times but he would not give the specific reason, but this time he took the initiative to mention it.
"This and that time, I didn't mention it before because the matter of Jiuyin Stone involves Heavenly Court and it is inconvenient to reveal it. But now that Fellow Daoist Chen is also a member of my Heavenly Court, there is nothing to hide."
Huang Pingzhang explained and led Gu Chen into a hall.
There are countless shelves placed in this hall, and there are many boxes on each shelf. Lines of light characters are emitted from the surface of the boxes.
"Wanted order: Wu Yifeng, a flower picker and thief, has been in the White Whale Mansion recently. He is a monk in the early stage of supernatural power. The reward is 20,000 yuan crystals. No matter whether he lives or dies."
"Reward material: I'm looking for a piece of Black Demonic Jiao tendon, a low-grade Xuan-level material, which can be bartered or traded with Yuan Jing."
"The mission to destroy the sect: Recruit ten bronze-level killers, target a certain demon tribe in Nanling, and the rewards will be generous."
A variety of tasks came into view, which opened Gu Chen's eyes.
His understanding of Heavenly Court was limited to the fact that it was one of the dark forces in the mainland. He originally thought it was only in the killer business, but it seemed that its missions were diverse.
"Tianting's main external business is killer business, but we cooperate internally and with some forces, so the tasks in Gongde Square are as diverse as the sea of stars."
"This place can be said to be a treasure house. As long as you have the strength, you can earn unlimited cultivation resources."
"Of course, the richer the mission reward, the greater the danger. The loss rate of the Heavenly Killer is quite high."
Huang Pingzhang saw Gu Chen's surprised look and explained to him.
"So, Daoyou Huang wants the Nine Yin Stone not because he wants it, but because someone has issued an internal mission?"
Gu Chen understood it after thinking about it for a moment.
"Exactly, the Nine Yin Stone is something that ghosts like to eat. It has a very heavy Yin energy. How can I use it? Someone issued a mission to acquire a large number of Nine Yin Stones, and one of them was used in exchange for a dragon and tiger grain of the Nine Yin Stone.
I am very concerned about the longevity pill."
Huang Pingzhang sighed.
His lifespan was almost exhausted, and he was almost at his wits' end. He didn't expect to see someone in the merit shop exchanging the Dragon Tiger Life Extension Pill for the Nine Yin Stone.
The Dragon Tiger Life Extension Pill is a low-grade Xuan-level pill, while the Jiuyin Stone is mainly rare and not very precious.
Such a deal was a good deal, so he took it seriously.
Unfortunately, the Nine Yin Stone is not easy to obtain. It only grows in places with extremely strong Yin Qi. The infamous Ghost Ruins is one of them.
"To be honest, the last time I went into seclusion, I wasn't really in seclusion. Instead, I went out looking for the Nine Yin Stone as a killer."
"I didn't dare to go to Guixu. I went to some big tombs to try my luck, but unfortunately I found nothing. What I didn't expect was that the concubine was so bold and made her decision to go to Guixu. If I hadn't happened to meet Daoist Chen to help me, the consequences would have been disastrous."
They were both heavenly killers. Huang Pingzhang became closer to Gu Chen and told everything.
"This is all fate. If I hadn't met Miss Huang, I wouldn't have been able to join Heavenly Court through my relationship with Daoist Friend Huang."
Gu Chen sighed with emotion.
"Haha, you are right. Fellow Daoist Chen and my Huang family are destined to each other. It would be even better if we are further connected by fate."
Huang Pingzhang said suggestively and winked at him.
Gu Chen was speechless, knowing that he was involved in the engagement with Concubine Huang.
"Is Huang Daoyou still testing me?"
Huang Pingzhang immediately shook his head, "No, this time is not a test. I really think it would be a good thing for the Huang family to have a son-in-law like Chen Daoyou who can ride a dragon quickly."
He lamented, "Fellow Taoist, you should also understand that except for my concubine, the rest of us are just a bunch of losers. If this continues, I will be in a worrying situation a hundred years from now."
Gu Chen didn't want to get entangled with Huang Pingzhang on this matter. He had no interest in becoming the Huang family's son-in-law, so he changed the subject.
"Where should I go to get the secret book?"
Huang Pingzhang immediately understood what he meant, and secretly said that it seemed that this matter could not be rushed, and he had to let his granddaughter work harder on her own.
He had already talked with his concubine and knew that she really liked Chen Gu.
And after getting along with him for a period of time, he was extremely satisfied with Chen Gu.
Not only is he extremely talented, he is also extremely intelligent, and most importantly, he has an extremely strong will in his bones.
With such a raw jade, he would have to pull it into the Huang family's warship no matter what.
Therefore, in order to achieve his goal, the thought of sending his granddaughter to Gu Chen's bed was not something he had ever thought about.
"Where can I get the secret book? I'll go and hand over the task first. I'll see you later, Fellow Daoist Chen."
Huang Pingzhang pointed the way, and the two separated.
Gu Chen came to the place where he received the secret books and successfully received the "Guangxi Shenfa", "Yuansuo Technique" and "Tiangang Twenty-Seven Sanshou".
After flipping through the three secret books, he had an idea of how difficult it was to practice and how long it would take to master them.
After watching where he was for a while, Huang Pingzhang came back, walking briskly and he seemed to be in a good mood.
"But did you get the Dragon Tiger Life Extension Pill?" Gu Chen asked.
"Well, you gave me the five Nine-yin Stones in exchange for a Dragon-Tiger Life-Extension Pill, and a bottle of yellow-level top-grade Jingyuan Pill!"
Huang Pingzhang said excitedly, "The big stone in my heart has finally fallen. I can live for a few more years. And the bottle of Jingyuan Dan should help me reach the perfection of magical power in a short time."
"Nine Yin Stones are so valuable?" Gu Chen was surprised.
"Originally it was not that valuable, but the senior who conducted the transaction said that the yin energy contained in your Nine Yin Stone was particularly pure and was of great use to him, so he raised the price."
"He is a kind person." Gu Chen nodded, then saw Huang Pingzhang hesitated. "Is there anything else?"
"That's it." Huang Pingzhang said truthfully, "The senior asked me where the Nine Yin Stones came from and said that he wanted to buy more. I considered that Daoyou Chen might not want people to know about this, so I didn't discuss it with him in detail.
Just say that a friend gave it to me."
"He told me that he wants more Jiuyin Stones of this grade and can buy as many as he wants. Fellow Daoist Chen, are you interested?"
