I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 590 Seeking Death
Several people sat in Gu Yuanqing's courtyard for half an hour before they dispersed.

When they came into contact with the world of cultivation again, they were not as nervous as before. After all, their cultivation levels were not the same as before. For example, Li Shian had reached the level of a celestial being and was considered a master in the world of cultivation.

Even Li Haotian, who has the weakest cultivation, has already reached the peak of the ninth level of the Divine Platform and has already comprehended a little bit of the way of space. He only needs to wait for the opportunity to break through to the Void Sky.

Li Shian and others stood on the top of the side peak and looked as hard as they could, but they could hardly see the shadow of the mainland.

This is not surprising. Gu Yuanqing saw that the mainland was still 100,000 miles away, almost across half of the Qianyuan Realm. Even if Li Shian ignored the consumption and used all his strength to perform escape techniques, it would still take several days. If he traveled normally, it would take at least a month.

How could they see at such a distance?
Time passed little by little. After more than two days, Li Shian, who had the best eyesight, could already see a black line in the distance. It was getting closer and closer to the continent ahead. But at this time, the speed of the Mountain-Carrying Divine Turtle slowed down, and finally its body sank into the sea and fell asleep, leaving only Qianyuan Island floating on the water.

Everyone looked at each other, but there was nothing they could do.

"It's good this way. Otherwise, who knows what kind of shock the cultivators on this continent would cause when they see the Mountain-Carrying Divine Turtle!" said Li Shian.

"Uncle, how far is this place from this continent?" Li Haotian asked.

Li Shian estimated it and said, "It's only about two thousand miles, and the monks of the Divine Platform can fly over there.

Ji Dai was eager to try, and said, "Why don't we go over there and have a look? It's over 2,000 miles, and it only takes two or three hours to go back and forth. If we use a flying boat, it will be even faster."

Qin Wuya also smiled and said, "I am a little tempted now. When I was on the North Sea, the nearest island was tens of thousands of miles away. My cultivation was still weak back then, so I didn't dare to wander around. Now I finally have some confidence."

Li Haotian nodded and said, "Yes, judging from the time the Mountain-carrying Divine Turtle had been asleep in the past few times, it must have been at least 20 to 30 years. Maybe we can find out some news about Cheng Yi and Miao Xuan."

Li Shian nodded slightly and smiled: "I have long wanted to see the world of cultivation, but before I leave, I still want to talk to Master Gu first."

"Of course!" everyone responded.

Then a few people went to the main peak.

Gu Yuanqing naturally did not stop them. The cultivators from Qianyuan Realm had to leave after all.

Although the Linglong Realm is rich in resources, its natural laws are flawed and have many restrictions. It is not the right path. At least as far as Gu Yuanqing knows, there are no legends of immortals in the Linglong Realm.

As for the feud between the two sects, even a celestial being like Li Shian was not qualified to get involved.

Gu Yuanqing handed over a few jade tokens.

The people here are all closely related to him. With these jade tokens, on the one hand, they can protect themselves. On the other hand, if there is any accident that causes the Mountain Divine Turtle to leave early, he can also use the jade tokens to locate them and use the method of sky fishing to bring them back.

"Young Master, should we still use the name of Qianyuan Sect when we go out this time?" Li Shian asked again before leaving.

The last time, the Qianyuan Sect caused quite a stir and was even slandered as being a member of the Heavenly Demon Sect, so Li Shian asked this question, fearing that it would bring him trouble.

Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "It's okay, Senior Li, just do what you can. There's no need to worry too much, but you guys should be careful outside."

"Yes, I understand!" said Li Shian.

When Aunt Feng saw Li Shian and others going up the mountain, she came over to wait and see if there was anything she could do.

Gu Yuanqing also asked, "Auntie, do you want to go for a walk with me?"

Feng Tao leaned forward and said, "I won't go. There aren't many people on the main peak. If you need anything, there will be someone to help you."

Gu Yuanqing knew her temper, so he nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Afterwards, Li Shian, Ji Dai, Qin Wuya, Li Haotian, Gu Siyuan, Xu Lianying and others hurriedly set off. A flying boat crossed the sky and disappeared in a moment.

Gu Yuanqing sat in the courtyard and looked up at the continent.

Even though there are probably no one in the cultivation world who can threaten him, when he arrives at a place, he still needs to get to know the surroundings first.

After all, the mountain-carrying divine turtle is in deep sleep, and may stay here for decades.

Thousands of miles are just a short distance for Gu Yuanqing. His gaze crosses the mountains and seas and falls on the continent.

With his Dongxu Tianpu, he understood everything in a moment.

Chiyuanzhou is the westernmost place.

On this continent, there are two major sects, namely Yunque Palace and Fentian Sect.

Both of these have celestial monks.

There are quite a few other large and small sects of cultivation, but the most numerous is Xutian.

Apart from that, there is not much else worth noting.

He did not avert his gaze, but drank tea leisurely, looking at the local customs and culture. Occasionally, when he saw delicious food, he would directly use the sky fishing technique, leave silver or spirit stones, and bring it back to Qianyuan Cave to taste.

In his current state, he is pursuing the perfection of his realm of cultivation. It is inconvenient for him to split himself, and it is even more inconvenient for him to leave the mountain because of the Taikoo Divine Sect. Only in this way is the most suitable way for him, and it is also just right for him to hone the combination of the Dongxu Tiantong and Tiandiao techniques.

When I got a little tired, I focused my attention and did something else.

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed. Ji Dai, Li Haotian, Xu Lianying and others returned, while Li Shian and others continued to stay on Chiyuan Island.

Li Haotian was a little disappointed as he had not found out any news about Li Chengyi. Li Miaoxuan did find out some things, but they were all things that Gu Yuanqing had told him about several decades ago.

Gu Yuanqing didn't find it strange. The cultivation world was too big! Even if Li Chengyi caused any trouble in the cultivation world, it might not be spread here.

In Chiyuanzhou, a Xutian cultivator can be considered a great cultivator, and a Shentai cultivator is placed in a city to become the patriarch.

Qianyuan Island stopped here, and many cultivators couldn't help but want to go out and take a look.

Li Shian and others did not intend to deliberately show off, but the appearance of so many great cultivators eventually revealed their whereabouts, and the Guiyuan Sect, which was closest to them, was almost destroyed because of it.

To be honest, this is Guiyuan Sect’s own fault!

Yuanbao Pavilion is a large chamber of commerce spanning several continents, backed by several celestial forces.

A large-scale auction was held in Lingxi City on this day. The items on auction ranged from low-level foundation-building pills to virtual sky treasures.

Gu Siyuan and Li Shian happened to come to this city, so they naturally went in to take a look.

There were quite a few people at the auction, but they were basically all Divine Platform cultivators, and there were only two or three Void Sky cultivators.

Gu Siyuan, who was sitting in the private room, watched all this with great interest.

After waiting for a long time, the auction officially began.

He took some photos here and there, while Li Shian looked at the younger generations in his family with a smile and occasionally chatted with them. The treasures here did not arouse the interest of a genius like him.

As the auction was drawing to a close, the auctioneer brought up an ink painting and introduced it, "This painting is called Clear Lotus and Moonlight, and was painted by Yun Mu, a master of his generation a thousand years ago. Some people have said that there is a method of the Void Heaven hidden in this painting, but unfortunately no one has been able to comprehend it from it so far. The starting price is three hundred mid-grade spirit stones!"

As soon as the words fell, someone immediately raised a sign and said, "Three hundred and thirty medium-grade spirit stones."

"Three hundred and fifty..."

...The sounds of bidding came one after another.

Li Shian smiled and said, "There is indeed a magic technique hidden in this painting."

Gu Siyuan also smiled and said, "The technique is a small matter. This painting looks pretty good. The artistic conception and painting skills are both top-notch. It is fascinating with just a few strokes. No painter in my Qianyuan Realm can compare to this. Why not buy it and give it to grandfather."

Li Shian nodded and said, "Indeed, it is possible. With your grandfather's cultivation, he would not be interested in the elixirs, magic weapons, spiritual materials, etc. that we sent him. On the contrary, these Danqing items are quite suitable."

At this moment, in another private room on the second floor, a young voice quietly called out, "Two thousand mid-grade spirit stones! Is there anyone else competing with Wu for it?"

The auction venue suddenly became a little quiet, not only because of the sudden increase of one thousand spirit stones, but also because of this person's identity.

There were people whispering in the meeting room.

"Who is this?"

"You don't even know this? Guiyuan Sect's Young Master Wu Chenyang!"

"Him? So domineering!"

"Speak softly. His father is the leader of Guiyuan Sect, and his mother is the daughter of an elder of Yunque Palace. Naturally, he has the confidence to speak like this."

Naturally, there were some people in the auction house whose backgrounds were no less impressive than Wu Chenyang's, but there was no need to create a conflict with Guiyuan Sect over a painting.

As for the Guiyuan Sect itself, although it is not as good as the Yunque Palace and the Fentian Sword Sect, it is also one of the top sects in Chiyuanzhou, except for these two.

What's more, this place is quite close to Guiyuan Sect, so we naturally have to give it some face.

"Two thousand middle-grade spirit stones for once!"

"Two thousand middle-grade spirit stones twice!"

Wu Chenyang pushed open the window of the private room and smiled, seeming very satisfied that no one dared to compete with him.

But at this moment, a sound came from the next room.

"Two thousand three hundred middle-grade spirit stones!"

The Yuanbao Pavilion auctioneer's eyes lit up: "The distinguished guest in Room 7 bid 2,300 medium-grade spirit stones. Is there anyone who wants to increase the price?"

Wu Chenyang's smile froze, and he said again: "Two thousand five hundred middle-grade spirit stones."

"The distinguished guest in Room 3 is offering 2,500 mid-grade spirit stones. Is there anyone who wants to raise the price?"

"Three thousand medium-grade spirit stones!" said Gu Siyuan.

Wu Chenyang's smile gradually disappeared: "My friend, can you please give me some face? I am going to buy this painting as a gift for my father's 900th birthday."

Gu Siyuan said, "I'm sorry. It just so happens that I was planning to buy this item as a gift to my grandfather. So, I can only apologize."

Wu Chenyang's eyes turned cold and he said, "Three thousand and one hundred middle-grade spirit stones."

"Young Master..." The middle-aged man standing next to Wu Chenyang couldn't help but speak.

"Four thousand!" Gu Siyuan said in a flat tone. The thing that Linglong Realm lacked the least was spirit stones, and as the son of Gu Yuanqing, he naturally had no shortage of them. Not to mention four thousand mid-grade spirit stones, he could even take out four thousand high-grade spirit stones.

"Four thousand one hundred, my friend, are you sure you want to continue arguing with Wu? Don't forget where this place is." Wu Chenyang said coldly.

Gu Siyuan was surprised. It sounded like this was a threat to him?
Li Shian didn't wait for Gu Siyuan to speak, and said calmly: "Six thousand middle-grade spirit stones!"

The auction hall fell silent. Six thousand mid-grade spirit stones were no small sum. Although the painting in front of him was related to Master Xutian and perhaps contained some magic, it was not a real technique or magic weapon after all and was not worth that much money at all.

"Six thousand once... six thousand twice... six thousand three times... deal!"

Wu Chenyang didn't say anything else, but the sound of cups breaking seemed to be heard faintly in his private room.

The last few items to be auctioned were magic weapons and elixirs, but Gu Siyuan and Li Shian were not very interested in them. They only bid a few times for the elixirs symbolically, but did not even bother to look at the magic weapons.

Not long after, someone from the auction house delivered the auction items. Gu Siyuan gave the spirit stones, accepted the treasures and the receipt signed by Yuanbao Pavilion, and also received a land order from Yuanbao Pavilion. With this order, he was treated as a VIP in any Yuanbao Pavilion store.

The two of them then slowly walked out of the auction house and strolled through the streets and alleys.

Before they had walked far, Gu Siyuan looked back and said with a smile, "Ancestor, it seems we are being watched."

Li Shian glanced back calmly: "They are just a few monks from the divine platform, but they are quite courageous."

The two of them didn't care too much and continued to tour the city. The scenery here was very different from that of the Qianyuan Realm and even the Linglong Realm. The history, culture, and even various essays and strange stories were all curious.

On an ancient bridge, Wu Chenyang and the middle-aged man were waiting in front.

Gu Siyuan could tell at a glance that he was here to find him, but Gu Siyuan himself was a great cultivator of the Xutian realm, so why would he care about two mid-level cultivators of the Divine Platform?

Wu Chenyang looked at Gu Siyuan and Li Shian walking slowly with a gloomy face. These two knew that he was looking for them, but they did so on purpose.

Before, he was worried that these two people might have a background as they were so generous, but after much inquiry, he found out that they seemed to be from the Qianyuan Sect, which he had never heard of.

He threw a low-grade spirit stone in front of Gu Siyuan.

Gu Siyuan glanced down.

Wu Chenyang put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "Give me the painting and I will spare your lives."

Gu Siyuan and Li Shian looked at each other, then said seriously: "Do you want to die?"

Wu Chenyang sneered, turned around and walked away, saying: "In that case, let me use this low-grade spirit stone to buy your lives!"

Gu Siyuan and Li Shian stayed in the city for two days, during which time nothing happened. However, when they were less than thirty miles away from Lingxi City, they were surrounded by people.

One of them is a Xutian monk!
Wu Chenyang said coldly: "I have already given you a chance. You are the first person in Lingxi City who dares to be so disrespectful to me."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and said calmly: "Kill him!"

The surrounding cultivators moved in response, five high-level cultivators from the Divine Platform surrounded and attacked, and cultivator Xutian waited in front of Wu Chenyang.

Li Shian looked at Gu Siyuan and chuckled, "Siyuan, are you going to come or am I going to come?"

Gu Siyuan said: "There are only a few of us, how dare we trouble the ancestor."

Wu Chenyang was about to rebuke him for his arrogance when the Xutian cultivator beside him suddenly changed his expression and said, "Young Master, be careful!"

But it was too late. Wu Chenyang didn't even see clearly what happened. The five Divine Platform monks flew back, all seriously injured.

Then he seemed to see the young man on the opposite side strike out with a palm, and before he could react, he felt pain in his chest and his mind was scattered. Out of the corner of his eye, he also saw the elder who protected him spitting blood from his mouth and leading him to retreat rapidly.
