Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 115 Resold

At this time, the cabin began to become noisy, because the youngest of these "immortal seedlings" was only three years old, and the oldest was only five or six years old.

Some are hungry, some want to vomit, some just poop in their pants, and some have already pooped.
With so many children gathered together, just imagine the chaotic scene in the kindergarten's small and medium classes without teachers.

At this moment, Gong Tianwu suddenly felt that the Yufei Sect was a bit shabby.

Because according to the data he received, the Blood God Sect would be able to find at least three-digit immortal seedlings at the Immortal Gate Guidance held every few years.

In this comparison, the gap is particularly obvious.

Fortunately, the boat was well prepared. After all, it was not the first time for them to come to pick up the immortal seedlings. Soon, several experienced maids came in quickly and comforted and dealt with the children one by one.

After the flying boat landed, it was in front of the mountain gate of Yufei Sect.

The group of immortal seedlings were naturally taken in and settled in a place called Shuiyun Villa. Of course, everyone had a personal nanny to take care of them, and Gong Tianwu was no exception.

Then someone came and conducted a series of tests on Gong Tianwu, and also checked Zi Chengzi's test results at that time.

The final evaluation result for Gong Tianwu is:
A lower-grade earth-level immortal seedling, a genius that appears once in fifty years.

Just when Gong Tianwu was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, he was suddenly woken up.

He was a little surprised and didn't know what was going on, but he was soon dressed and led out.

When Gong Tianwu arrived at the reception room of Shuiyun Villa, he found that in addition to Zi Yuzi, there was also an old man who looked very vigorous waiting there.

This man was very tall and wore a white robe. What was even more eye-catching was that he was wearing a hat made of white fox fur on his head.

Then the old man's gaze fell on Gong Tianwu:

"Is this the boy?"

Zi Yuzi said calmly:
"Yes, this boy is less than six years old. He had a strange encounter before and ate a strange pill, so his physique is different from that of ordinary people."

The old man nodded slightly, then waved to Gong Tianwu and said:

"come here."

Gong Tianwu did as he was told. The old man reached out and touched the top of his head, then pinched his bones and smiled.
"It really is a good seedling. It's settled then."

Zi Yuzi then said to Gong Tianwu:
"Xu Tianwu, you have no destiny with our sect. This is Elder Wei from the Great Snow Mountain. You should follow him."

Gong Tianwu was a little puzzled when he saw that Zi Yuzi was quite cold towards him, but he didn't take it seriously and nodded silently.

Elder Wei stood up and walked out the door, and Gong Tianwu followed him.

After the two of them were led by the disciples of Yufei Sect to the outside of the mountain gate, Elder Wei said to Gong Tianwu:
"We are now going back to the Great Snow Mountain, which is about 5,000 miles away from here."

"When I came here, I flew here alone with my sword, but I didn't expect that Yufei Sect would actually use a top-grade fairy seedling like you to pay off its debt."

"So there are two options right now. The first is that I will find a place to foster you and send someone to pick you up later."

"There is another way. I will use a magic weapon to protect you, and you can fly with me on the sword."

"But if this happens, you, a child, will definitely suffer, but I will look at you differently. Now tell me your choice."

Gong Tianwu thought for a moment and said:
"Please find a place to foster me."

Elder Wei was a little stunned when he heard this:
"Didn't your parents teach you before you came here? To be hard-working and to strive for excellence in everything you do?"

Gong Tianwu said calmly:
"My parents died a long time ago, and my aunt who adopted me coveted the inheritance they left behind. She tortured me all day long and wished I would die sooner."

"So I've suffered too much, so I don't want to suffer anymore."

After hearing this, Elder Wei's eyes twitched for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he burst into laughter and said:

"I'll try to make it less painful for you!"

After he finished speaking, Gong Tianwu suddenly felt dizzy, and then he felt that he was actually lifted up by a giant fiery red ruler! Then he slowly floated into the air.

Elder Wei let out a long roar and said:

"Hurry up!"

Then the ruler turned into a red light and shot away into the distance.

Elder Wei turned into a ray of white light, landed behind the ruler, and followed calmly.

***
This flight took two full days.

To be honest, it was not uncomfortable for Gong Tianwu to fly on the ruler. The warm breath emanating from the ruler made him not feel cold.

There was also a translucent protective shield on the ruler, which firmly protected Gong Tianwu and isolated him from the oncoming strong wind.

The founder of the Great Snow Mountain sect is Ling Hun, the God of Poverty. His signature magic weapon is the Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Ruler, and the method of refining this treasure has also been passed down.

In addition, the terrain of the Great Snow Mountain is special and extremely cold, so as long as the conditions permit, all disciples will refine a similar magic weapon.

However, no one dared to put the word "Jiutian" in front of this magic weapon, so it is usually called Yuanyang Ruler.

At this time, the magic weapon that Elder Wei used to protect Gong Tianwu was the Yuanyang Ruler that he had made himself, and he also deliberately slowed down the flying speed.

Despite this, when the two arrived at the gate of the Great Snow Mountain, Gong Tianwu felt stiff all over and his muscles ached. If he moved just a little, all his bones and joints would creak.

Fortunately, the morning sun had just risen at this time, shining on the snow-capped peaks in the distance as bright and brilliant as golden mountains. Gong Tianwu hurriedly seized the opportunity to absorb the misty purple air, and immediately all his fatigue disappeared and he became full of energy.

He did not try to hide it at this time, so when Elder Wei saw it, he was immediately amazed:

"Boy, what were you doing before?"

Gong Tianwu said:

"I dare not hide it from you, Immortal. Before my mother died, she quietly told me a great secret."

"That means there is a trace of dragon blood in my body, passed down from my ancestors!"

“When I see the rising sun or the full moon, I subconsciously take a deep breath and feel very comfortable.”

Gong Tianwu had already found out that in this world, cultivators are very accepting of things like reincarnation and bloodline. For example, Qi Jinchan, Li Ning, Li Yingqiong and others are all reincarnations, so he deliberately exposed this matter.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Elder Wei laughed loudly:
“Hahaha, Old Ghost Xue from Yuhua Sect is known as the Golden Abacus. He wants to take advantage of everything, but this time he finally suffered a loss at my hands!”

"A lower-grade earth-rank fairy seedling? Hehehe, this kid might be a higher-grade earth-rank fairy seedling, a rare genius in a century."

"I can actually get this kind of immortal seedling with only three Bing Xuanji's debt. If old Xue finds out, he will vomit blood!"

Then, he took Gong Tianwu's hand and walked into the gate of the Great Snow Mountain.

The moment he entered the door, Gong Tianwu felt dizzy as if the sky had moved so fast. Then he looked up and took a breath of cold air!
It turned out that the previous second was covered with snow, the cold wind was howling, and the snow-capped mountains were towering, but at this moment, there were green mountains and cypresses, clouds and mist, and the fairy mountains were ethereal.

The base of this snow-capped mountain is hidden in a secret place. Outside is the snow-capped mountain with few people, but inside is a secret place with ethereal air and full of vitality.

***
Time flies,

Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Gong Tianwu once again stood outside the gate of the Great Snow Mountain.

He lived a very fulfilling life during these twenty years.

First, they followed the routine rules in the Great Snow Mountain and served as registered disciples for three years. The main purpose was to let these very young "immortal seedlings" learn to take care of themselves, do some chores, learn to read and so on.

Of course, the highlight is to let them start practicing the foundational technique of the Great Snow Mountain: Ice Jade Technique.

With Gong Tianwu's comprehension and aptitude, he easily stood out, leaving the rest of the immortal seedlings helplessly to become supporting roles.

When the three-year term of being a registered disciple was over, Gong Tianwu was directly accepted as a disciple by an elder named Liu.

This Master Liu was none other than Elder Wei's junior fellow who had led Gong Tianwu into the sect.

To be honest, the other elders in the Great Snow Mountain who were qualified to accept disciples were not blind and had long been coveting Gong Tianwu, a good seedling.

Unfortunately, Gong Tianwu was not collected in the conventional way. It was used to pay off the debt of Xue Laogui from Yuhua Sect who owed Elder Wei three Bing Xuan Ji. It was considered as "private property".

Elder Wei and Elder Liu were both from the same school and had similar interests. They became friends for life while traveling together.

Elder Liu was a rare physical cultivator in the Great Snow Mountain. To inherit his legacy, one must be born with supernatural powers. Gong Tianwu, who looked taller and stronger than others since childhood, was noticed by Elder Wei. Over the years, while practicing Elder Liu's Tianyi Gangqi, Gong Tianwu would also ask Elder Wei for advice on his most skilled invisible sword, which was equivalent to practicing the best of both families.

This is a taboo in other places, but Elder Wei and Elder Liu have a different relationship, and both of them even encourage this behavior.

And just yesterday, except for the Magnificent Scale, Gong Tianwu had already activated the Soul's Blessing and the special magical power: Excellent Talent.

The 15 free soul points of Soul Blessing did not show extreme phenomena when they were random, and were not concentrated on a certain attribute.

As for the extra five for all attributes of outstanding talents, all of them have been received.

At this time, Gong Tianwu's basic attributes have also undergone earth-shaking changes:
Physical strength: 51 points,
Agility: 64 points,
Root bone: 53 points,
Comprehension: 36 points

Fortune: 28 points

Spiritual awareness: 44 points

Karma Points: 4

Zhenlong: 42 points

Talent: Wisdom from previous life

Talent: God is jealous of talents (negative)

Talent, dexterity

Talent: Extraordinary talent

Talent: Sword Spirit Body

Innate magical power: Dragon-killing technique (active)
Special magical power: Donghuangyin

Secret Technique: True Feather Heart Sutra (unprecedented in history), but it was only achieved with the help of the Hur statue, and it has only reached the initial stage of this realm, and the improvement is very slow.

Martial arts: The Secret of Purple Qi Cave (unprecedented in history), but it has not yet been cultivated to the ultimate peak state, and the current realm is that of a mid-level martial saint.

Skills: Mysterious Ice Power, the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Supernatural powers: Tianyi Gangqi, clear in mind (third level), physical cultivation supernatural powers.

Supernatural power: Invisible sword, some knowledge (second level), sword cultivation supernatural power.

***
During these twenty years, Gong Tianwu actually spent only half of his time practicing the Great Snow Mountain True Method, and the remaining time was evenly divided between the True Feather Heart Technique and the Purple Qi Cave True Technique.

The main reason for this situation is that practicing the true method of the Great Snow Mountain requires resources.

Although the Great Snow Mountain sect is an upright one and is not as blatantly cruel as the previous Blood God Sect, in fact, there are also overt and covert internal struggles.

Gong Tianwu made the decision from the beginning to spend enough time on the True Feather Heart Art and the Purple Qi Cave True Art to thoroughly lay a solid foundation.

As a result, he appeared quite low-key among his peers, and spent all his time in seclusion.

He does not participate in social interactions with fellow disciples, nor does he go on missions to compete for resources.

However, his low-keyness was seen as weakness in the eyes of some people, and some people said all kinds of weird things about him behind his back.

Gong Tianwu was too lazy to pay attention to them. As long as it didn't get in the way of his business, their saliva wouldn't kill anyone.

Of course, this also resulted in his status not being very high in front of the teachers - this was the same reason why teachers liked children with good grades in the class.

Gong Tianwu’s current status is like that of an average student in the class. He is very low-key and has a low sense of presence.

However, this time Gong Tianwu had no way of escaping, because in three months it would be the 200th birthday of his master Liu Xun.

On the occasion of his birthday, his disciples went out to look for gifts, and some even started preparing gifts two years in advance. If he continued to retreat, it would be neither reasonable nor moral.

Gong Tianwu was of course well-prepared for this trip and would not rush around like a headless fly.

Otherwise, out of a mere three months, I would probably spend one or two months on the road. What would I do with the remaining month or so?

At this time, two more disciples came out from the mountain gate. One of them was called Li Zhen. When he saw Gong Tianwu, he greeted him:
"Fifth Senior Brother is going out? Where are you going?"

Gong Tianwu smiled slightly and said:

"Southside."

After saying that, he jumped up and flew away.

The disciple curled his lips and said:
"Why are you so proud? Isn't it just that you entered the school a few years earlier than me?"

Another person nearby, Hu Xian, laughed after hearing the complaint:
"Are you looking for a fight? Be careful, Senior Brother Turtle will hear you and slap you in the face."

Li Zhen said disdainfully:
"I have been an initiator for sixteen years, and I can count the number of times I have seen him on one hand. The rest of the time I have been in seclusion. I really don't know what this turtle is doing in seclusion."

Gong Tianwu did not hear the conversation between the two junior brothers.

Or it could be said that even if he heard it, it wouldn't matter, because he is no longer at the age to argue with others over their words.

But from the way these two disciples addressed each other, it was clear how low-key he had lived over the past twenty years.

Gong Tianwu rushed over twenty miles in one breath before stopping. The feeling of running wildly was so refreshing.

With his level of Qi Refining at the fourth level, he could only control his Qi and leap across the mountains. The best he could do was run and glide for a while.

But Gong Tianwu also possesses the strength of a Martial Saint. The combination of these two can greatly increase the speed of travel.

In just two hours, Gong Tianwu ran a full 400 miles through the mountains and reached his destination. This is a level that only a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage can achieve.

The place that Gong Tianwu arrived at was called Shiniu Ferry. Although it was a town, it was actually a very prosperous water and land hub.

After having a quick bite to eat in the town, Gong Tianwu asked around at the ferry and found a boat captain:

"I heard you were heading south?"

The captain nodded and said with a smile:
"Yes, where are the guests going?"

Gong Tianwu smiled and said:

"Nanyi State, Changhe County, Jingdong County."

***
There are three countries under the jurisdiction of the Great Snow Mountains, namely:

The States of Ba, Xu, and Yong.

Especially the Yong State, although the name of this country seems to be fictitious, it actually exists.

There is an idiom "a mediocre person makes trouble for himself", which is derived from this. A mediocre person refers to a person from a mediocre country.

If Gong Tianwu wants to return to Jingdong County, he must first go to Yong State, and then go downstream in Xintang, an important town in Yong State, and then he can enter the north of Nanyi State.

So how did Gong Tianwu anchor the time point of his time travel this time?
It's very simple. There was a celebrity whom he used as a reference, and that was the famous prime minister of Nanyi State: Yan Fenyi.

This person became famous when he was just a few years old and was hailed as a rare child prodigy. He was also quite long-lived, dying at the age of nearly a hundred, and was still famous throughout the world.

After coming back to life, Gong Tianwu went to ask Yan Fenyi, and he was able to basically judge which era he was in from the other party's answer.

If you haven't heard of it, go ahead and try it.

If you have heard of it, just ask Yan Fenyi in detail how old he is this year, so you can basically lock down the specific time.

At this time, Gong Tianwu also roughly estimated that when he arrived in Jingdong County, it would be about five years after the death of Xie Zhengwu (the fourth generation).

When he discovered this, Gong Tianwu curiously asked Kang a question:
"If I rush over at the right time, won't I run into myself?"

"Can you personally witness the scene in which I (Xie Zhengwu) displayed my divine power and sang the song of Heaven and Earth Dragon Scale to save Xiejia Village?"

Kang said very seriously:
"It's best not to have such an idea, let alone implement it!"

"If you really go there at that time, it is very likely that the Heavenly Dao will be aware of my existence."

"If I were still my original form, then it wouldn't matter, but now it matters a lot."

"Once we are discovered, we will most likely be chased by the continuous thunder until you and I completely disappear from this world."
