"Impossible." Gu Cangyue said categorically: "Cang Hai has a cultivation level of the fifth level of the innate realm. Even if the little bastard reaches the innate realm, how can he harm Cang Hai? Second uncle, this is impossible!"
"I also know it's impossible, but there has been no news from Cang Hai for five months. I'm just afraid... I'm afraid..." The second elder said a few words, but in the end he didn't say the rest.
However, the Great Elder and Gu Cangyue naturally understood what the Second Elder meant.
"Second brother, Cang Hai might be delayed by something. With his cultivation, as long as he doesn't go deeper than 60,000 miles into the Eastern Wasteland, there won't be any big danger. Don't worry too much..." the elder said.
Gu Cangyue echoed: "Yes, maybe Cang Hai will come back sometime!"
The Great Elder and Gu Cangyue said this on their lips, but they also understood in their hearts that after being missing for five months, the situation was definitely dire.
"Hey... Nine months ago, Furukawa and the little bastard went to the Beitai Mountain Mine, but He'er disappeared. Five months ago, Cang Hai went to the Eastern Wasteland with the little bastard, and Cang Hai also disappeared.
, is that little bastard a nemesis, specifically to defeat my son and grandson..." The second elder sighed, his tone suddenly became much older, and at the same time, there was an air of hatred in his voice.
"Why is the second uncle like this!" Gu Cangyue said: "How big a storm can that little bastard make when he has just stepped into the innate realm? Wait for another year, and wait for the old immortal to be removed from the position of clan leader. By then,
I was the first one to kill the little bastard. Even if the disappearance of Furukawa and Aanghai was related to the little bastard, I would avenge them!"
"Until the little bastard dies, I will have trouble sleeping and eating, and I will feel uncomfortable all over..." the second elder clenched his fists and said.
Gu Cangyue said with a smile: "Let him live for one more year. When I take the position of clan leader, what's the difficulty in killing him?"
The Great Elder suddenly worried: "The little bastard has reached the innate realm. Will there be any problems in this year's clan competition? This year's first reward is a piece of blood mercury. How much effort did we spend before the old man agreed to give it out?
The entire Gu family is just like this, so don’t make any mistakes."
The great elder said that Gu Xian was immortal, but he did not look at his own age. Compared with Gu Xian, he was no more than two or three years younger, and he was already nearly seventy years old.
Gu Cangyue thought deeply for a while and said: "Tai'er has already entered the second level of Xiantian Realm last year. The little bastard has just reached the first level of Xiantian Realm. It shouldn't be difficult to deal with."
The Great Elder said: "We must make sure that nothing goes wrong. This blood mercury is the only one in Leshui City. Neither Liu nor Yun have it. It can only be obtained by Gu Tai. There is absolutely no chance that it will be obtained by that little bastard."
.”
"Well! Don't worry, dad." Gu Cangyue nodded and said: "During the clan competition, I will give the Drinking Jade Sword to Tai'er. Tai'er himself is strong, plus the middle-grade magical weapon Drinking Jade Sword, Xiao
No matter how good the bastard is, he can't change the world."
"That's very good..." The great elder nodded and said, "Tell Gu Tai not to underestimate the enemy."
Beicheng, Liu family...
Snapped……
Liu Huayuan slapped his palm on the table and shouted: "Are you serious about this?"
Yanagawa said from the side: "It's absolutely true, that boy came from Donghuang Sword today and has indeed stepped into the innate realm."
"Innate realm, innate realm...that boy is really surprising!" Liu Huayuan tapped his index finger on the table and said slowly.
Yanagawa said: "I looked down on that boy too much before, but the patriarch has a far-sighted vision. It seems that the boy did get some benefits from the Beitaishan mine."
"I still don't think high enough, I still look down on him."
Liu Huayuan sighed and said, "Liu Jie and Liu Qing are still missing?"
Yanagawa lowered his head and said, "Not yet. That kid stepped into Xiantian and came back safe and sound. It seems...it seems that Liu Jie and Liu Qing are...should be in danger."
"I still underestimate him too much. Has any news been found in the Beitaishan mine?" Liu Huayuan asked.
Yanagawa shook his head: "Everything is normal in the mine now, and there are no suspicious phenomena."
"Humph, since entering the Beitaishan Mine, that boy has undergone earth-shaking changes. There must be something fishy in the mine. I must seize the Beitaishan Mine. I must find out if there is anything fishy in it.
It’s clear.” Liu Huayuan continued to knock on the table.
"Clan leader, how should we deal with that kid?" Yanagawa asked.
Liu Huayuan smiled coldly and said, "I am becoming more and more interested in him now. How do you think I should deal with him?"
Yanagawa said: "Capture him back and ask him what's wrong with the Beitaishan mines, and it will become clear. I think it is more appropriate to send Liu Tong there. Liu Tong is a monk in the middle stage of the Xiantian realm, so he can be guaranteed to be safe."
Liu Huayuan nodded and said: "If you want Liu Tong to be brought back alive, you have to do it. You can't take his life."
"Yanagawa understands..." Yanagawa bowed and left the room.
Liu Huayuan turned to the direction of Dongcheng and said to himself: "In just one year, you have stepped from the early stage of the acquired state to the innate state. What did you experience in the Beitaishan mine?
What secrets do you have?"
It was only after Gu Chen came back from the Beitaishan Mine that he revealed his cultivation level at the ninth level of the Houtian Realm. Before going to the Beitaishan Mine, his cultivation level had already reached the seventh level of the Houtian Realm, but no one knew about it.
Naturally, Liu Huayuan thought that Gu Chen's cultivation level had increased dramatically, and all of them were linked to the Beitaishan mine. He believed that there was some secret in the Beitaishan mine, but he didn't expect to find out.
No matter how much he imagined, Liu Huayuan would never know that Gu Chen's real secret was not the adventure he had in the Beitaishan mines, but that he had to turn his life back and start over again.
In Nancheng, the Yun family also started a discussion because of Gu Chen's strong return, and the focus of the discussion was none other than Gu Chen.
Yun Jinghong sat on the table, looked directly at Yun Xue in front of him, and said, "Xue'er, Gu Song came to see you, why don't you see him?"
"His cultivation level is too low, I don't want to see him." Yun Xue raised her head.
"You..." Yun Jinghong said: "Gu Song is only 13 years old and has reached the sixth level of the Houtian realm. He is no worse than your elder brother. Why is his cultivation level so low?"
Yun Xuedao: "Gu Chen is only 11 years old, and he has already entered the innate realm. Isn't his cultivation level too low?"
"Why are you mentioning that little loser... Why are you mentioning him?" Yun Jinghong was startled.
Yun Xue raised her head and said: "The man I, Yun Xue, want to marry must be the first in qualifications. No one can compare with him. Gu Song's cultivation level is too low. I will never be with him again."
"Xue'er, do you still want to be with that little loser? Brother Gu Song is so good to you." Yun Chao rolled his eyes and glanced at Yun Xue.
"You are not allowed to call him a waste. If he is a waste, you can't even compare to me. Who are you?" Yun Xue said angrily.
Yun Xue has reached the fifth level of Hou Tian Realm, while Yun Chao is still standing still on the fourth level of Hou Tian Realm.
Yun Jinghong said: "Xue'er, you have to know that there is no longer any relationship between you and him. It is impossible for you."
"No, Gu Chan and he are of the same race and cannot be together. No one in Leshui City is worthy of him except me. He will definitely choose me... I, Yun Xue's man, must be the first in qualifications, no
First of all, I don’t want it.” Yun Xue said firmly.
Yun Jinghong said: "Xue'er, the head of the Gu family, will fall into the hands of Gu Cangyue sooner or later. Only by siding with Gu Cangyue and joining forces to fight against the Liu family can we maintain our status as the three major cultivation families. The three major cultivation families,
Our Yun family is the only one who does not have seventh-level Xiantian realm monks, and is the weakest. If the relationship with Gu Cangyue breaks down, the Liu family will be doomed. Xueer, for the sake of the Liu family, you can only stay with Gu Song."
As the New Year approaches, Leshui City is very lively and everyone is beaming with joy.
After Gu Chen returned home, he stayed at home except for one visit to his grandfather. Gu Heng, Gu Lan and other children came to invite him to play, but he rejected them one by one.
During the Chinese New Year this year, Gu Chen's family was much more lively than in previous years. The clan leader, the three elders and other members of the clan visited almost all of them one by one during the few days when Gu Chen returned home.
Gu Chen entered the Xiantian realm at a young age. Everyone knows that his future achievements will definitely be extraordinary.
Although there were visits between tribesmen in previous years, how could there be such a scene as this year?
Many neutral factions hovering between the clan leader and the elder were also shocked by Gu Chen's cultivation and came to visit him one after another.
Gu Chen didn't like to negotiate too much, but when his clan members came to visit, he had no choice but to accompany him. Although not all visiting clan members had good intentions, living in a big family, these worldly things were inevitable.
Soon, the days of the previous year passed. Because Luoluo had constant visitors at home, Gu Chen had almost no time to practice these days.
The New Year's Day has finally arrived, and the children of the Gu family are all happy and playing to their heart's content, with the exception of Gu Chen, who does not play with a group of children.
On the first day after the New Year, the Gu family's clan competition begins. Not only the Gu family, but every year on this day, the three major cultivation families in Leshui City will hold a clan competition. It can also be regarded as a public inspection by the elders on the cultivation status of the juniors over the year.
.
This year's clan competition is unusual. The clan leader Gu Xian said that he would give a portion of the family's treasured blood mercury as a reward for the first place in the clan competition.
The ancient people didn't know much about blood mercury. They only knew that it was an extraordinary thing. When practiced in a magic weapon, it could greatly increase the power of the magic weapon. A low-grade magic weapon added with blood mercury would not be as powerful as a mid-grade magic weapon.
However, it is quite difficult to incorporate blood mercury into a magic weapon. If blood mercury is simply integrated into the magic weapon, the magic weapon will bring with it a serious murderous aura, which will affect the character of the owner of the magic weapon and even cause death.
The master who controls the magic weapon.
Blood mercury represents killing. It is difficult for a skilled weapon refiner to refine blood mercury into a magic weapon.
Even so, blood mercury is still precious in the eyes of monks. The Gu family obtained a share of blood mercury and have been keeping it like a treasure.
Gu Chen obviously knows more about blood mercury. Blood mercury is one of the indispensable materials for setting up the ultimate annihilation formation. For this role, it is obviously much more precious than refining a magic weapon.
.
Outside the main hall of the Gu family, there is a large square with a radius of one hundred feet. Every year, the clan competition is held in this square, and the main figures of the Gu family will participate.
In the morning, Gu Chen followed his father to the Gujia Square. A large arena had been built in the center of the square. The arena was three feet high and ten feet long and wide.
Three feet away from the east side of the arena, there is a viewing platform with two floors, the lower floor is three feet high and the upper floor is five feet high.
There are four positions in the upper level, which are the seats for the clan leader, the great elder, the second elder, and the third elder. The lower level has eleven seats, which are the direct disciples of the second generation such as Gu Cang Qiong, Gu Cang Yue, Gu Cang Qiu...
seat.
In last year's clan competition, there were twelve positions in the lower level. This year, Gu Canghai was missing, so naturally there was one less position.
The second-generation disciples from the side line, as well as all the third-generation disciples, stood in the south, north and west directions below the ring, with different identities and different standing positions.
The second-generation disciples of the collateral line stand in the west opposite the main seat, the third-generation disciples of the direct line stand in the south, and the third-generation disciples of the collateral line stand in the north.
Gu Qianshan is a second-generation disciple of the collateral branch of the Gu family, but his cultivation has reached the third level of the Xiantian realm. Therefore, his status in the Gu family is not low, not much worse than that of direct disciples.
After the patriarch Gu Xian and the three elders were seated in the viewing platform, Gu Qianshan jumped lightly and entered the ring. He had been hosting the clan competition for five years, and he was still hosting it this year.
After cupping his fists and bowing to the clan leader and the three elders, Gu Qianshan turned to the crowd below and gave a long opening speech, which was nothing more than introducing the necessity of holding an annual clan competition! Why should a clan competition be held? What is the purpose of holding a clan competition?
Good results await.
In short, after I finished speaking, it was to prove a point: the annual clan competition must be held, and it is of great benefit to the development of the Gu family.
After that, there are some requirements for the three generations of children participating in the clan competition, such as brothers of the same clan, they must love each other, stick to the point, and cannot hurt others intentionally...
Finally, they finally talked about the rewards for this clan competition. After hearing this, Gu Chen perked up his ears.
Gu Qianshan said: "In this year's clan competition, the first place reward is not trivial. It is a treasure that the family has treasured for many years - blood mercury. Blood mercury is a very magical treasure. It looks like a liquid and can flow. In fact, it is
It weighs more than an iron block. Refining blood mercury into a magic weapon can greatly increase the power of the magic weapon. So which disciple will be lucky enough to get blood mercury this year? Let us wait and see, who will win this year's clan competition?
First place..."
After a pause, Gu Qianshan continued: "The first clan competition is a contest between the disciples of the Houtian Realm. The disciple who wins the first place in the Houtian Realm will also be rewarded with a large number of waste stones and a small amount of spiritual stones. Who wants to come up for the second test?
A battle? Let the clan leader and three elders check your one-year cultivation results?"
"I'll come..." Among the third-generation direct disciples, a boy of about ten years old shouted and walked out. It was Gu Lan who went to catch the blood-crowned fox with Gu Chen.
Gu Lan is already 11 years old, and his cultivation has improved compared to last year, reaching the fifth level of Houtian Realm. Such qualifications are quite good in Leshui City.
Among the three generations of disciples from the side line, there was also an eleven or twelve-year-old boy whose cultivation was around the fourth level of the Houtian Realm.
The two of them walked onto the ring, one north and one south.
Every third-generation disciple must participate in the clan competition. Everyone must show their greatest strength in the arena. The clan leader, three elders, and the main figures of the Gu family are all watching from the platform. They must know clearly that future generations
What is the level of cultivation of the disciples?
The long-term development of a family requires continuous efforts from generation to generation. The cultivation of future generations is a top priority. Whether it is the Gu family, the Yun family, or the Liu family, they all attach great importance to it.
"please……"
"please……"
According to the rules, after the two people entered the ring, they stood facing each other from the south to the north, holding each other's fists. This was just an internal competition within the family, not a life and death arena. All due etiquette must be observed.
Gu Lan's strength was one level higher than that of the collateral disciple, and he undoubtedly won the victory. Gu Xian and the third elder both had happy smiles on their faces. With Gu Lan's qualifications, he might be the next Gu Song.
However, there was no smile on the faces of the First Elder and the Second Elder. Gu Lan was from the lineage of Gu Xian and the Third Elder, not their people, so he won the victory, so naturally there was nothing to be happy about.
The disciples of the Houtian realm walked into the ring one by one. Gu Lan won five games in a row, and then took a rest. After winning five games in a row, he could take a rest and have the right to continue challenging the ring. Those who lost would be eliminated directly.
.
In this way, the final battle for first place will be between those boys who have won five games in a row.
