Fortune Teller

In the side room, Gu Xiuyun was sitting cross-legged, playing with two hexagram sticks in his hand.

"If I can get together a set of turtle black armor, maybe I can refine it into a spiritual weapon and use it to deduce the mysteries of heaven." Gu Xiuyun's eyes flashed.

In his previous life, he used the Jade Turtle Spirit Lotus passed down from generation to generation by the Destiny Clan. Although the turtle only had a lifespan of a thousand years, it was naturally crystal clear, like white jade, and could be considered a strange spiritual beast.

The refined Jade Turtle Spirit Lotus is very helpful in deducing restrictions and spiritual formations.

But in this life, Gu Xiuyun couldn't find a suitable hexagram and could only rely on his hands to deduce it, which doubled the difficulty. If he hadn't been proficient in the art of Yi, he really wouldn't have been able to master the secrets of the immortal way in a short period of time.

"Master, there is a message from the maid in Wen Hanxuan. Miss Yan Su Shi would like to invite you to come and taste tea." A maid walked into the side room and said in a charming voice.

"Tasting tea?" Gu Xiuyun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "What kind of medicine is sold in Yan Su Shi Gourd? You go and answer the question first, I will be there later."

The maid left in response.

"This girl Yan Sushi has been looking for life and death since she knew she was going to marry me a few days ago. Why did she suddenly change her gender today and invite me to have tea?" Gu Xiuyun thought thoughtfully.

He was not surprised by Yan Sushi's reaction. After all, he was the one who almost defiled her. If Yan Sushi really preferred death over surrender and hanged himself in Wenhanxuan, Gu Xiuyun would be relieved.

He has tried his best to save her, but Su Shi wants to be a chaste and martyr woman. Who can stop her?

"Let me go and see what that girl is planning."

Gu Xiuyun stood up and walked towards Wenhanxuan where Yan Sushi lived.

…

"Mr. Yun, this is the green bamboo tea brought by the elders of the younger sister clan. Please taste it." Yan Sushi picked up the teapot affectionately and poured a cup of tea.

The long fragrance of tea floats in the courtyard.

"Miss Yan is interesting. A few days ago, she was seeking life and death and refused to marry me. Why did she suddenly change her gender today?" Gu Xiuyun asked curiously.

"How can my little sister resist the orders of her parents and the words of the matchmaker?" Yan Sushi's eyes were slightly red, "Young Master Yun, to be honest, I invited you to come this time because my sister asked someone to bring you a message. talk."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Gu Xiuyun raised his eyebrows.

"My sister wants to ask, why did you save her that day?" Yan Sushi stared at Gu Xiuyun with a pair of beautiful eyes, looking a little curious.

Yan Suqing's behavior at the Fenglin Meeting has spread throughout the eight cities of Chu County. Many people want to know what happened between Gu Xiuyun and Yan Suqing, but the two of them kept silent and no one else knew.

"It is not the behavior of a gentleman to refuse to save someone in the face of death." Gu Xiuyun said sternly, "What's more, Miss Yan Suqing is the direct daughter of the Yan family. The two families have good relations with each other. How can I just sit back and ignore her?"

"Are you considered a gentleman too?"

Yan Sushi couldn't help but mock. When she saw Gu Xiuyun's face turned cold, she knew she had said the wrong thing and said repeatedly: "My little sister said something rude, please don't blame Mr. Yun."

"Miss Yan, I have already answered your sister's question. Let's say goodbye!" Gu Xiuyun stood up and walked out of the courtyard.

"Wait a minute," Yan Sushi quickly grabbed Gu Xiuyun's robe, "Actually, I came to you today to make a three-part agreement with you. If you don't agree, I would rather die than marry you."

"Tell me about it." Gu Xiuyun smiled playfully.

"My request is very simple. After we get married, although we have the name of husband and wife, we cannot be husband and wife. I can't control you if you mess around with women outside. But you are not allowed to enter my courtyard without permission."

"No problem." Gu Xiuyun nodded.

"ah?"

Yan Sushi was a little surprised. She originally thought that Gu Xiuyun married her because he was greedy for her body, but why did he agree so simply?

"Gu Xiuyun, once you say something, it's hard to catch up, so don't deal with me." Yan Sushi said sternly.

"If you don't believe it, we can make a written statement in black and white. Even if you want to go back on it, you can't!" Gu Xiuyun glanced at the maid on one side.

The maid was holding the Four Treasures of the Study in her hand, and she seemed to have been prepared for it.

The jade paper was spread out, Gu Xiuyun quickly wrote down his name, and then walked away.

"Miss, why did Gu Xiuyun agree so simply?" the maid was a little curious, "didn't you say that he is a hungry ghost in lust and will never let go of his prey?"

"It's a bit strange. It seems that since Gu Xiuyun enlightened his spiritual veins, he has never been to Fireworks Willow Alley. Even the maids in his yard have been dispersed a lot." Yan Sushi shook his head, "Anyway , I will never sleep with such a person.”

"What the young lady said is that a person's nature can be changed easily, but his nature is hard to change. People like Gu Xiuyun, no matter how high their cultivation level is, can't change their perverted nature. I just saw him staring at your breasts several times." The maid kept saying.

"Is this happening?" Yan Sushi quickly covered her chest, seemingly in shock.

"What I saw is true, how can it be false?" The maid looked sure.

The conversation between the two people was clearly heard by Gu Xiuyun, who had just walked out of the courtyard.

"When have I ever stared at Yan Sushi's breasts? That's nonsense." Gu Xiuyun shook his head.

With such a maid by his side, it's no wonder that Yan Sushi has lived in Gu's fourth room for more than ten years and can't even find a close friend in her boudoir.

After leaving Wen Hanxuan, Gu Xiuyun went straight to the Alchemy Pagoda.

His life is short now, and he must increase his strength as soon as possible before he can go out to find spiritual objects and repair the Life Star Bead.

After obtaining the Water Spirit Ancient Jade, Gu Xiuyun learned about the fourth spiritual object from the Life Star Bead deep in his soul.

That is a wood spirit bead.

Wood spirit beads are born in ancient trees. Only after tens of thousands of years of wind and rain, and absorbing the essence of the sun and moon for thousands of years, can the wood spirit beads be conceived.

As far as Gu Xiuyun knew, ten-thousand-year-old trees were quite rare, and there were none in the ordinary world. On the Beiqiong Mountain in the north of Chu County, there is abundant spiritual energy and few people, and there are many ancient trees growing thousands of years ago.

Perhaps the Wood Spirit Pearl can be found there.

It's just that Beiqiong Mountain is far away, and there are also big monsters haunting it. With Gu Xiuyun's current strength, going there is looking for death.

For the next month, Gu Xiuyun immersed himself in the Alchemy Pagoda almost every day.

At the top of the seventh floor, there is a platform for practicing. Gu Xiuyun sits cross-legged here every day, swallowing the essence of the sun and the moon while reading the classics and practicing the secret techniques in them.

On the seventh floor of the Alchemy Sutra Pagoda, apart from the Five Elements Formation Forbidden and the Comprehensive Interpretation of Ancient Texts, the most precious thing is the [Emperor’s Punishment Zhen Gang].

After entering the realm of opening pulses, the spiritual veins turn into heavenly gates, and the spiritual power becomes purer and even contains spirituality. At this point, practitioners can refine the evil energy between heaven and earth and condense it into true energy.

If spiritual power is like water, Zhen Gang is like stone. Even if the realm is the same, it can easily crush the opponent.

However, it is extremely difficult to practice Zhen Gang. Gu Xiuyun studied it for many days but still did not dare to try it.

"According to the description of Emperor Xing Zhen Gang, I must refine my spiritual power into silk and gather the silk into a sword in order to withstand the evil spirit and condense the Zhen Gang sword energy." Gu Xiuyun said to himself.

Thinking that controlling spiritual power to this point requires extremely strong soul power, and the improvement of soul power can only rely on the growth of cultivation. Generally speaking, at least three levels of heaven must be opened before the soul power can reach this level. .

However, Gu Xiuyun's soul was illuminated by the starlight and was nearly twice as powerful as a practitioner of the same level, so he could barely cultivate.

After pondering for a long time, Gu Xiuyun suddenly felt the sky darken, "Unknowingly, it's night again."

"Counting the days, tomorrow is the day when Yan Sushi and I will get married. We can no longer stay in the Alchemy Pagoda!"

Gu Xiuyun stood up and walked towards the bottom of the tower.
