Primordial Qi

Chapter 73 Bronze Jade Hairpin

There was some silence in the air. No matter how bad his life was in his previous life, Gu Chenyu had never borrowed a penny. Now, when he said the word "borrow money", his face turned red. He did not dare to look into Gu Qingxue's eyes and lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.

Gu Qingxue's body was trembling slightly. She had tried her best not to laugh, but in the end she couldn't help it and burst into laughter, almost crying.

"Just such a small matter?" Gu Qingxue asked, with tears in her eyes from smiling.

"I'm not kidding. I work so hard for a month but still can't afford to buy soul-nourishing elixirs. I've been so poor that I've had to eat dirt for three months." Gu Chenyu sighed. Three hundred mid-grade spirit stones, or thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones, is neither too much nor too little.

"There are 10,000 high-quality spirit stones in this storage ring. I'll give them all to you."

Gu Qingxue took out a space ring and took Gu Chenyu's hand to put it on him.

Gu Chenyu looked a little dazed, and said jokingly, "In our place, if you put a ring on someone's finger, you have to marry them."

"Hmm?" Gu Qingxue was slightly surprised, then tapped Gu Chenyu's head, "Naughty."

"Hahaha, aren't you afraid that I'll run away with the money?"

Gu Chenyu was in a good mood. He inspected the room and found it was filled with top-quality spirit stones. Now he didn't have to worry about spirit stones.

Gu Qingxue said disapprovingly: "I've given it to you, and I don't intend to ask you to return it. There's no need for us to be so estranged. Come to my Wanqiu Peak more often and help me solve some of the problems in the peak."

"Okay." Gu Chenyu was moved and nodded.

The two chatted for a while, and then Gu Chenyu got up and left. There were many things to do in the sect, and he had to help.

The scope of Qingming Sect is so huge that each peak is a hundred miles apart. Wanqiu Peak is not far away, only about three hundred miles away. Gu Chenyu took a flying magic weapon and returned to the main peak of the sect in about an hour. Here they are recruiting disciples on a large scale.

The cultivators who come to pay homage to the mountain all have good cultivation bases. There is a spirit stone more than ten meters long in the martial arts field under the main peak. One can tell what the root cause of the cultivator is by just placing one's hand on it and injecting spiritual power into it.

Gu Chenyu's current job is to measure these geniuses who have reached the Spirit Gathering Realm under the age of 20.

The average genius needs to cultivate Qi for three years, open meridians for five years, and generally practice for eight years before they have the capital to impact the Gathering Spirit Realm. However, many people are stuck at this level and cannot reach the Gathering Spirit Realm throughout their lives.

The reason is that there are too few techniques and resources. The Dawu Dynasty does not open up techniques for practicing after the Meridian Opening Realm. Many ordinary people do not have the opportunity to step into the Soul Gathering Realm, while those aristocratic families and sects can practice techniques, and even step into the Soul Gathering Realm with only a bottle of Foundation Establishment Pill or Soul Solidification Pill.

If a mortal wants to enter the realm of nourishing qi, he must have a sense of qi and spiritual roots. Without a sense of qi, it is difficult to sense the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and without spiritual roots, it is difficult to absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth.

Even if one cultivates to an extremely high level in the future, the journey will still be extremely difficult. For example, Gu Chenyu's five elements spiritual roots. If it weren't for some opportunities, no matter how good his Qi was or how much spiritual power he could absorb, it would be useless and would eventually dissipate between heaven and earth.

A single spiritual fruit is called a heavenly spiritual root. When absorbing the spiritual power of heaven and earth, it is mainly based on a single attribute and can be turned into something for one's own use through simple refining. If one reaches the realm of gathering spirits, then there will be a phenomenon in the dantian that a single attribute is the main one and other attributes are auxiliary.

For example, the spiritual power refined by a cultivator with a single spiritual root of water attribute will be mainly water attribute spiritual power, supplemented by other attributes. Practicing water attribute skills will be easier than practicing other skills, and the spiritual techniques released will also be more powerful.

A single spiritual root has unspeakable privileges in their specialties, as if they are blessed by heaven, and even heavenly calamities will not befall them too much.

Right in front of Gu Chenyu was a cultivator with a single spiritual root, a water spiritual root, who had entered the Spirit Gathering Realm at the age of only fourteen.

Gu Chenyu sighed inwardly, comparing oneself with others will only make one feel dreadful, but this person was just one of the more than a hundred people who had come across him in the past three months.

The spirit-testing pillar emitted light blue ripples, and a word "water" appeared on it, indicating that this was a single spiritual root with water attribute. Such a person would usually be picked up by the masters of the major peaks to be their last disciples.

"Deacon, this is a small gift, please accept it." A wealthy old woman with gorgeous clothes and gold and silver jewelry came forward and said. The little girl was her daughter. Her face was full of smiles. Her child was so successful, and she was naturally very proud in her heart.

"I'm sorry, we don't accept these things. Please take them back." Gu Chenyu waved his hand to refuse. There was no fluctuation in the woman's cultivation, but her skin was well maintained. The gold and silver jewelry she wore was also very valuable, and they all had the effect of prolonging life and nourishing the soul.

Gu Chenyu looked at the woman's bracelet, his eyes moved slightly, it could nourish the soul, and it seemed to be of a high grade, so he asked: "My dear, where did you get this bracelet on your hand?"

"Oh, it's still the people from the immortal family who have good vision. This bracelet of mine is not ordinary. It is a great thing given by a big shot. My family has worked hard to get it." The woman boasted, and her smile became even happier.

"I see. I wonder if this kind of bracelet is still for sale. I want to buy one, too." Gu Chenyu pretended to speak casually. He was not trying to trick her, but was looking at the bracelet.

In order to dispel the woman's doubts, Gu Chenyu pretended to have a headache and held his forehead and said, "I've been too busy recently, and I feel a little pain in my soul. Alas, I think this bracelet has the effect of warming the soul, so I'm thinking of buying one. Wearing it on a daily basis is also good for my soul."

"So that's how it is, Immortal, don't worry. This kind of bracelet is rare in the mortal world, but my Li family is a noble family after all. I am not good at practicing, but I have a certain prestige in the family. If there is a chance in the future, I will give you a pair." The woman smiled. She was not a simple person, but an old fox. Gu Chenyu didn't come for her bracelet in the beginning, but for her hairpin, which was also a magical tool for nourishing the soul, and it looked even older.

Gu Chenyu knew that he had to bring out enough bargaining chips to deal with these old foxes, so he went up and whispered: "I am privately friends with the master of Wanqiu Peak. I believe you have also heard that the master of Wanqiu Peak will definitely enter the monarch realm within a hundred years. If your daughter is accepted by Wanqiu Peak, then the benefits..."

When the woman heard this, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes. She naturally had not heard of most of the things about the Qingming Sect. Although she didn't know the details of the person in front of her, she also knew that there were some things that only high-level people knew. Therefore, she could believe what this person said to some extent.

"Young man, do you think you have some say in this case?" the woman said playfully.

"Of course. I'm only in the Gathering Spirit Realm but I'm already a deacon. Guess where I'll be after a while." Gu Chenyu pretended to be mysterious.

"In that case, I would like to thank you here. If the matter is accomplished, I will give you whatever you want. I, Li Fen'er, would like to thank you again." Li Fen'er said, with a hint of charm in her eyes.

"Haha, let me show you something to dispel your doubts." Gu Chenyu took out five top-grade spirit stones, each with different attributes.

Li Qiner was shocked. This thing was indeed valuable and had always been in short supply.

"This was given to me privately by the leader of Wanqiu Peak to help me with my practice. If you don't believe it, you can wait outside Qingming Sect for some time. After your daughter enters Wanqiu Peak, we can talk about the bracelet again." Gu Chenyu said. The bait had been thrown out, and it was just a matter of seeing whether the person would take the bait or not.

"Haha, then I will wait for good news in Qingming City." Li Minger covered her mouth and chuckled.

After reaching an agreement, Gu Chenyu left early. He had to quickly explain to Gu Qingxue that getting the bracelet and the jade bracelet was the most important thing. He didn't need the bracelet, but he had to get the jade hairpin.

"That jade hairpin is indeed a good thing, but there is an old creature living inside it, and we have to pull it out." said the immortal in the sea of consciousness.

"This jade hairpin is at least a hundred thousand years old. The jade is only on the surface. Inside is actually a bronze that looks like jade. The jade on the outside has not changed much, but the bronze inside has long been decayed." Xian said. Her spirit was so strong that she could see the essence of this thing at a glance.

"A bronze jade hairpin? There's another layer inside?"

Gu Chenyu was surprised. It seemed that there was some muddy water here. However, he was not afraid of muddying the water. He would not let go of any good thing.
