Mixed in the heavens, merits and virtues become immortals

Chapter 317 Why did I have such a dream?

Wan Jian raised his head, scrutinized Gu Qing's face, and then looked at the Dragon-Slaying Sword hanging at Gu Qing's waist. Suddenly, his heart was filled with vicissitudes. Looking at Gu Qing, he saw his own younger self reflected in his eyes.

"Have you heard my story?"

Wan Jianyi asked.

This person, wielding the Dragon-Slaying Sword, came directly to his door. Wan Jianyi knew that this person was after him.

Your face tells a story.

Gu Qing replied.

Upon hearing this, Wan Jianyi remained silent for a moment, then gave a bitter laugh. In the cultivation world, Wan Jianyi was only middle-aged, but after wasting a hundred years in this Ancestral Hall, he had indeed become utterly decadent.

"Whose school are you under?"

After a moment of silence, Wan Jianyi asked in a low voice.

"Under the Cangsong Sect of Qingyun Sect."

Gu Qing said, "My master always remembered having a senior brother named Wan, and I happened to have learned some unusual arts at the foot of the mountain, which allowed me to sense the call of the Dragon-Slaying Sword..."

Lin Jingyu was able to become Wan Jianyi's disciple because of the Dragon-Slaying Sword and the Cangsong Sword. Gu Qing now wields the Dragon-Slaying Sword and has also become Cangsong's disciple. It wouldn't be a problem for him to come to the Ancestral Hall and become Wan Jianyi's disciple. As long as Wan Jianyi and Cangsong don't recognize each other, Gu Qing can deceive both sides.

As for Wan Jianyi appearing in public...

Dao Xuan will bestow titles.

"So you are Cangsong's disciple."

Wan Jianyi had spent a hundred years in seclusion in the ancestral hall, becoming a reclusive old man. Seeing that Gu Qing spoke pleasantly, was a disciple of Cangsong Daoist, and had even come to his door, he nodded and said, "Then we are indeed destined, but..."

Wan Jianyi was examining Gu Qing.

As the person in the Qingyun Sect who had the most access to secrets, Wan Jianyi was able to sense the aura of the Heavenly Book, while Gu Qing's aura was harmonious, just like the Heavenly Book.

"You seem to have had quite a serendipitous encounter."

Wan Jianyi tentatively asked.

"Speaking of serendipitous encounters, there really was one."

Gu Qing sat down next to Wan Jianyi and said, "You taught me the sword technique, and it wasn't for nothing. When I went down the mountain before, I happened to get a method that can turn white hair black and keep people healthy in old age. You can try it; who knows, you might be able to turn back the clock."

Wan Jianyi listened quietly from the side, feeling that this breathing regulation was actually based entirely on the Taoist principles of prolonging life, nourishing vital energy, and regulating the spirit, which was quite strange.

Wan Jianyi was unaware that Gu Qing possessed the Everlasting Youth and Longevity Technique, the Bright Jade Technique, the Longevity Formula, the Demon Seed Technique of the Dao Heart, and so on. He was already adept at extending his lifespan and returning to youth. Now, by slightly adjusting these formulas based on the principles in the Heavenly Book and transforming them into a Xianxia version, it was enough for Wan Jianyi to return to his youth.

For Gu Qing, reversing aging and maintaining youth forever was no longer a big deal.

Wan Jianyi listened quietly, observing Gu Qing silently, circulating his true essence within his body, realizing that the Taiji Xuanqing Dao had opened up new meridians and possessed profound mysteries.

As dawn broke, Gu Qing bid farewell to Wan Jianyi and returned to his lodgings on Tongtian Peak. After a short rest, Xiao Yicai came to visit again, and Gu Qing painted two pictures for him. Gu Qing spent most of the day painting two pictures, and by the afternoon, he stopped painting and took a walk around Tongtian Peak. Then he went to the Ancestral Hall, where he began to ask Wan Jianyi for advice on swordsmanship.

Tongtian Peak, Yuqing Palace.

Dao Xuan Zhenren obtained Xiao Yicai's intelligence. Looking at the demonic image of Kongsang Mountain, he pointed at the Azure Dragon and asked, "Did Gu Qing break this person's arm?"

Xiao Yicai nodded naturally.

Dao Xuan Zhenren gazed at the portrait in contemplation. Xiao Yicai did not recognize Qinglong, but Dao Xuan Zhenren did. More than a hundred years ago, this person was defeated by Wan Jianyi's sword and disappeared from the world. Dao Xuan Zhenren thought this person was dead, but he did not expect him to reappear in the martial world.

And his arm was broken by a disciple of the Qingyun Sect.

Could it be that he was defeated by Wan Jianyi's sword, causing his morale to plummet and him to become despondent?
"Where is Gu Qing?" Dao Xuan Zhenren wanted to hear what Gu Qing had to say, and also wanted to see this most outstanding genius in the Qingyun Sect.

"After he finished painting, he went to the ancestral temple."

Xiao Yicai, being the senior disciple of Tongtian Peak, was aware of Gu Qing's whereabouts and said, "Gu Qing and an old man in the Ancestral Hall get along quite well."

Dao Xuan Zhenren's expression stiffened slightly. After Xiao Yicai withdrew, he turned around and headed towards the Ancestral Hall. Along the way, he saw a young man carrying a Dragon-Slaying Sword. His face was as white as ice and jade, and he had an imposing presence. After meeting him, he nodded slightly and walked away. When Dao Xuan Zhenren arrived at the Ancestral Hall, he looked at Wan Jianyi and said, "You look much younger."

Wan Jianyi smiled slightly and said casually, "Perhaps it's because I'm in a good mood."

Dao Xuan Zhenren carefully examined Wan Jianyi, noticing that the wrinkles on his face had lessened considerably. He then looked at the mountain path and said, "That young man has good aptitude. How much of his teachings did you pass on to him?"

Wan Jianyi extended one finger.

"one move?"

Dao Xuan Zhenren was slightly surprised.

"There's only one move left."

Wan Jianyi said with his hands down, "Gu Qing is very good at swordsmanship. He can learn it in no time and master it in a short time. His ordinary sword moves are more powerful than those of people who have cultivated for decades. Wan Jianyi taught Gu Qing sword moves for ten days and he felt a sense of exhaustion."

Now, Wan Jianyi only has one move left: Slaying Ghosts and Gods.

"I will only dare to teach him this move after he has reached a higher level of skill."

Wan Jianyi said.

Dao Xuan knew which move it was, and remained silent upon hearing it.

Dao Xuan Zhenren has seen geniuses before. Both Wan Jianyi and Dao Xuan were geniuses in their time and worked their way up step by step. But it has taken them more than a hundred years to go from being geniuses to where they are now, while Gu Qing has only been a beginner for a short time.

"He was born with an extraordinary physique, unlike anyone else."

After a moment of silence, Wan Jianyi said, "Perhaps even the Qingye Ancestor back then couldn't compare to Gu Qing's talent."

The Qingyun Sect flourished because of its founder, Qingye.

Qingyun Mountain, Dragon Head Peak.

In the early morning, Gu Qing gently knocked on Qi Hao's door, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother Qi."

Upon hearing this, Qi Hao pinched himself in surprise. Why would he have such a dream when this troublesome Gu Qing actually greeted him?
Could it be that Gu Qing has ulterior motives?

"Junior Brother Gu."

Qi Hao returned the greeting to Gu Qing, full of doubt, and asked, "Junior Brother Gu, you've returned from the foot of the mountain?"

Gu Qing had been down the mountain for a long time. Even when he returned, he only greeted Cangsong Daoist before heading up Tongtian Peak. This was the first time he had returned to Longshou Peak and greeted Qi Hao.

"came back."

Gu Qing smiled, met Qi Hao's gaze, and said, "Senior Brother Qi, my cultivation has made great progress since I came down the mountain this time, so I would like to ask you for some guidance."

"Junior Brother Gu, you haven't been a disciple for very long..."

Qi Hao was greatly surprised. How long had Gu Qing been a disciple? He was already challenging him.

Gu Qing smiled in response. He wanted to take over the position of sect leader in the Qingyun Sect, and he needed to demonstrate enough talent to gain everyone's approval.
