Chapter 48: Fellow Disciple Attacked (Please Read!)
Seeing the doubtful look on Fang Yi's face, Gu Jiushang pondered for a moment and prepared to tell him about this matter.

He swept his consciousness around and saw that there was no one else around.

"Junior Brother Fang, this matter came from my mouth and reached your ears. Just like the matter of the Jiazi Beast Tide, it must not be spread to outsiders."

Seeing Gu Jiushang's serious expression, Fang Yi naturally knew that the matter was of great importance, but it was precisely because of this that he needed to know more about it.

The cicadas know the coming of autumn before the wind blows, and the Jiazi beast tide is approaching. Although you have a quasi-second-level puppet and many magical tools to protect yourself, you still have to be careful.

"No outsiders will know about this, don't worry, brother."

Gu Jiushang thought for a moment and composed his words.

"Junior Brother Fang, I think the inner sect brothers and their masters have already told you that you should be careful when you are in the outer sect."

"In the past four years, several inner disciples have disappeared. The Foundation Establishment Master in the sect has ordered us to investigate..."

"Even now, we haven't found any clues. If you go out, you need to be careful."

Fang Yi's heart moved.

"Inner disciple?"

He has been practicing in Xuanyang Mountain for nearly ten years, so he naturally knows the significance of being an inner disciple.

In any sect, outer disciples are just basic consumables. What really determines the status of the sect is the cultivation level and number of the top cultivators in the sect.

Nearly all of the foundation-building masters in Xuanyang Mountain were promoted from inner disciples, and most of the Jindan masters also broke through from the foundation-building true disciples.

Therefore, unlike outer disciples, there is only one requirement to become an inner disciple, which is to have the possibility of building a foundation for the Tao.

Or they have top-grade spiritual roots, and their cultivation speed far exceeds that of ordinary cultivators.

Or if you have excellent fighting talent, you can compete for more resources to increase your cultivation.

Or perhaps you could master a cultivation skill that could earn you spirit stones, to aid your own cultivation...

Because inner disciples are rare, the sect takes good care of them.

Before going down the mountain to train, all sects are fully equipped with spiritual objects, magical instruments, and talismans.

I never thought that several people would disappear in just four years.

Fang Yi asked with a calm expression.

"Brother Gu, what is the cultivation level of the missing person?"

Gu Jiushang recalled the appearance and cultivation of several missing junior brothers and sisters.

"Most of them are at the beginner level of Qi training, and occasionally there are those at the intermediate level."

After Fang Yi pointed out the key, Gu Jiushang suddenly realized.

"Junior brother, do you mean there's a traitor?"

Fang Yi nodded slightly and said no more. Considering their long-term friendship, he decided to stop there.

The Jiazi beast tide is about to rise, and humans and demons will fight each other.

As the first battlefield, the demon clan in Dayun Xiuxian Kingdom naturally has to try its best to weaken Xuanyang Mountain’s war potential.

Inner disciples with low cultivation but excellent qualifications are much easier to deal with than those at high-level Qi training or even foundation building levels.

In the practice of cultivation, the higher the level of cultivation, the harder it is to kill.

The best strategy is for the two tribes to confront each other and cause the greatest damage at the lowest cost.

As for how to find cultivators at the initial and intermediate levels of Qi training, divination can be used.

However, firstly, the art of divination is rare, and among the demon clan, only the turtle clan is proficient in it.

Secondly, practicing divination can easily consume one's lifespan and greatly damage one's vitality. Even if one is an inner disciple of Xuanyang Mountain, he is not worthy of using the precious opportunity of becoming a divination master here.

Moreover, this is not the first time that Xuanyang Mountain has experienced the Jiazi beast tide. If they dare to send their inner disciples down the mountain, they must have ways to deal with it.

So there is only one possibility left, that there is a traitor in the door.

The traitor leaked the information of those inner disciples who were at the initial and intermediate levels of Qi training, and then those cultivators’ flaws were discovered.

A familiar voice came from behind Fang Yi.

"Brother Gu, it's time for you and me to go!"

"Old Wheathead?"

Fang Yi turned his head and saw that Old Maitou had changed his usual gloomy demeanor. He was dressed in a tight outfit and looked energetic, with a sword-shaped magic weapon slung around his waist.

"Old Maitou, are you going with Senior Brother Gu?"

"Ah."

Old Maitou responded, his eyes full of love and longing.

"The old Taoist's daughter has detected a mid-grade water spirit root, which is even better than mine."

"I'm nearly sixty years old now, and there's no hope for me to build a foundation in this lifetime, but there's always hope for my precious granddaughter."

"I am not a Spirit Puppet Master like Brother Fang, nor am I a top-grade Spirit Chef like Senior Brother Gu. My aptitude is average, but for my daughter's future cultivation journey to be easier, I have only these old bones to fight with."

At this time, Gu Jiushang also transmitted the message.

"Junior Brother Fang, isn't Junior Brother Mai just messing around? He's been stuck at the late stage of Qi training for nearly ten years."

"With his level of cultivation, it's too dangerous for him to get involved in this matter. Junior Brother Fang, please help me persuade him."

Old Maitou seemed to see what Gu Jiushang was thinking.

He has also been a cultivator for decades, so he naturally knows how dangerous it is for a cultivator to attack the inner disciples of Xuanyang Mountain and succeed.

But he had made up his mind. His daughter was already over twelve and could not wait for him to slowly accumulate spiritual resources for her.

This mission was specially selected by him, so it was naturally a success and everyone was happy.

If he were to die unfortunately, the sect would provide him with a pension, which would be enough for his daughter to practice well for a period of time.

"Brother Gu, Fellow Daoist Fang, there's no need to persuade me any further."

"If I can't come back, please trouble Junior Brother Fang and Senior Brother Gu to take care of my daughter."

After saying that, Old Mai bowed deeply to the two of them.

Fang Yi and Lao Maitou have known each other for four years. They often go to Fenghuaxueyue Tower to listen to music, and they have some friendship.

Knowing that he was born in the secular world, without a teacher or family, he had a very hard life in Xuanyang Mountain in his early years.

Although his condition improved after he met Gu Jiu, he was already old.

Senior Brother Gu once found a breakthrough pill for him, but he failed to break through. Now he has been stuck at the bottleneck of the late stage of Qi training for nearly ten years.

"I will take care of you to the best of my ability."

Fang Yi looked at the backs of the two people as they left.

Maybe after today, there will be one less person I know.

Half a month later.

In Ziweixian's training room, Fang Yi took out a piece of letter, which was a letter from Yang Caier.

The letter said that he wanted to recruit an alchemist in the sect into the Changqing Society, but I don’t know what his intention is.

"Xu Qingshe?"
Fang Yi also had some understanding of this person. He was a fellow student at Xuanyang Mountain.

In the Small Questioning Heart Formation, apart from this alien himself, he was the first cultivator to wake up.

His determination to cultivate is firm, but his aptitude for cultivation is average. Some time ago, I heard that he has quite some talent in alchemy and is already a first-class mid-grade alchemist.

Yang Cai'er said that he had good character. Although Fang Yi was still a little wary and suspicious, he was also welcoming.

A talented alchemist with good character can be entrusted to refine pills in the future, which can provide many benefits to oneself.

Fang Yi picked up the pen and wrote quickly. Soon, a reply letter was ready.

half year later.

Yunzefang, Zuiyue Tower.

Fang Yi walked into the building to make some preparations for the Evergreen Party that meets every five years.

A young servant in a white robe had his eyes lit up and stepped forward quickly.

"Brother Fang, still in the same seat?"

Fang Yi looked at the delicate and handsome young monk in front of him, and his face twitched.
