Man is in the midst of the mysteries of the spirit, and the flesh is infinitely deduced

It all depends on the thought of Palace Master Taixu.

Considering Anle's constitution as a [forsaken person], joining in might not be a good thing.

But on the other hand, starting from the incident with Ghost Lord, whether Anle was willing or not, he already had a certain connection with "Chen", and if he was not careful, he would become their target.

It’s as if there is a time bomb hidden in the dark, and no one knows when it will suddenly explode.

This feeling is so uncomfortable!

Jiang Yun noticed his hesitation and suddenly said, "Actually, when I first came to the Qinghan Branch Hall, I wanted to test your background."

Anle: “Hmm?”

Jiang Yun took out a crystal blood crystal and explained, "Because I once received a favor from Elder Gu Shanshan."

Anle recognized it at a glance; it was the essence and blood of his master.

And with Gu Shanshan's strength, no one can take her blood unless she gives it specifically.

"When I asked Elder Gu to become her disciple, she rejected me."

Jiang Yun's tone was somewhat unwilling: "I just want to see what abilities you have to be favored by Elder Gu."

"The result... was beyond my expectation."

Thinking of the situation that day when she failed to gain anything but gained more, Jiang Yun's tone became more resentful: "You are indeed not an ordinary cultivator, just like your three brothers and sisters."

Anle raised his eyebrows: "There is such a connection."

Jiang Yun sighed: "But there is one thing that Elder Gu probably didn't tell you."

"Actually...she is also one of the Pure Dust."

Anle's pupils shrank slightly.

This information was beyond his expectations.

He didn't think Jiang Yun would lie about such a thing.

But on second thought, it seems easy to understand. There must be many people in Taixu Palace who dislike or even hate "Chen", an existence that acts without any scruples.

Even among the elders who have reached the state of spiritual transformation, they may be forced to take sides.

With Master's character, it is not impossible for him to join the Pure Dust Purifiers to eliminate some of the existence of "dust".

This gave Anle enough reason, and he nodded and said, "Okay, then I am willing to become a Pure Land person."

Jiang Yun held his hand and said, "Welcome to join us."

******

It didn't take long.

With Jiang Yun's explanation, Anle learned a lot of information about the Jingchen people.

Including some of the reward and punishment systems.

Of course, it is not voluntary labor for the dust cleaners to eliminate "dust", but they receive relatively generous rewards.

Since the Lord of Taixu Palace is behind it, the treatment is quite good.

There are also some exploration and intelligence gathering tasks, and you can get rewards after completing them.

Many monks who have no background but are extremely talented are absorbed into the Pure Land people just because of this.

For example, Lin Ningqian belongs to this kind of cultivator.

It is also a way to avoid aristocratic families and obtain resources for cultivating immortals.

Anle saw more things: "This Taixu Palace Master has big plans!"

"Want to form a team of your own?"

"But... it's weird."

Anle is in a weird mood.

Shouldn’t the Palace Master be the strongest person in Taixu Palace?

The entire Taixu Palace should be his property, why does he have to be so sneaky about it?

******

Taixu Palace acted even faster than Anle had expected.

On the evening of that day, a spirit-transforming elder descended upon the Qinghan branch temple and took over the entire situation there.

This elder happened to be an acquaintance of Anle—Yang Rongzi.

When he saw Anle, Yang Rongzi's eyes widened, his long beard trembled, and he asked in surprise: "Have you achieved the Golden Elixir?"

When Anle saw him, she couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity.

Although Yang Rongzi is tough in words, he really cares for the disciples in Taixu Palace and is a very good teacher.

Much better than some sanctimonious people.

Anle said respectfully: "Luckily there was a breakthrough!"

"I would also like to thank the elder for his kindness in the past."

Hearing this, Yang Rongzi felt a pang of pain in his teeth. He looked Anle up and down, confirmed that the aura of the golden elixir was not fake, and muttered to himself.

“This shouldn’t…this shouldn’t be the case!”

"How come it's so fast?"

Yang Rongzi still remembered that Anle was only at the seventh level of foundation building before, and he was forcibly brought up under the ancient jade tripod, and his breath was weak.

According to his original estimate, it would take Anle at least three years to complete his foundation building and five years to achieve the golden elixir.

But the fact is, it’s only been over a month since we last met, and Anle has already achieved golden elixir?

Moreover, the aura throughout his body was solid and powerful, not like the strength that someone who had just entered the Golden Core stage should have.

It was as if there was no bottleneck at all, and breaking through was as easy as eating and drinking.

Yang Rongzi couldn't help but think of his previous evaluation of Anle's "limited potential" and couldn't help blushing.

Even with his thick skin, he still felt a little embarrassed.

I can only selectively forget the past.

After listening to Jiang Yun's general description of the situation in the Qinghan Branch Hall, Yang Rongzi looked at Anle deeply.

"This kid always manages to do something unexpected."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Yang Rongzi straightened his expression and said, "Next, leave this to me."

"You can return to Taixu Palace now."

Before seeing off Anle and others, Yang Rongzi said again.

"Anle, wait a moment, I have something else to tell you."

"About your master, Gu Shanshan."

Chapter 191

"Is it related to Master?"

Hearing this, Anle's expression immediately became serious: "Elder Yang, please speak."

At this time, there were no outsiders around them, so Yang Rongzi spoke directly.

"You should know that your master is a reincarnated person, right?"

Anle nodded: "I know."

This is not a secret in Taixu Palace. Any cultivator who has heard of the name "Gu Shanshan" usually knows this rumor.

After all, judging from the age Gu Shanshan appears to be, she is estimated to be around ten years old.

No matter how you think about it, it is impossible to achieve the state of being a god through normal means.

"She reincarnated and cultivated again because she suffered some kind of almost incurable hidden injury in her previous life, and she can no longer reach a higher realm."

A trace of regret and awe flashed across Yang Rongzi's eyes: "In order to try to take that step, Elder Gu resolutely chose to reincarnate and cultivate again. The dangers and hardships involved are truly terrifying and lamentable."

“An ordinary god-transforming person would not choose this path even if there is no hope of breakthrough in his lifetime. He would rather stay in the state of god-transforming and enjoy a free and easy life.”

“So, when we first learned that Elder Gu had been reincarnated, we were all extremely surprised.”

Anle secretly agreed.

They have all cultivated to the Spirit Transformation Realm, and their lifespan is as long as thousands of years. Naturally, most cultivators are unwilling to give up these long years and risk their lives to reincarnate and cultivate again.

If the state of mind after reincarnation is not as good as that of the previous life, it would be even more difficult to accept.

Only a remarkable woman like Gu Shanshan would do this.

Yang Rongzi's expression became serious: "Now, your master has returned to the state of incarnation, and his progress is very fast. According to this momentum, I am afraid that within a hundred years, he will be able to reach the threshold of the next realm."

"However, some people in the palace may not be willing to see this happen."

After hearing this, Anle had a slight understanding in his mind.

The next realm of the Transformation God is called "Refining the Void."

Naturally, there are also strong people in the Refinement Stage in Taixu Palace, but their number is extremely small, only about one-tenth of those in the God Transformation Stage.

These Void-Refining Monks are all extremely powerful people in the Taixu Palace who can cover the sky with one hand.

Even from a long-term perspective, having one more top combat force in Taixu Palace is a great thing.

But for this group of people, it means having one more person to be on an equal footing with them and to share the most advanced resources.

In addition, Gu Shanshan never formed cliques and had a strange personality, making him difficult to win over.

This made her a thorn in the eyes and flesh of some people.

Yang Rongzi continued, "It is precisely because of this that your master was sent to the most dangerous war zone."

"Just a while ago, she was fighting with a Divine Transformation cultivator from the Great Tai Dynasty and seemed to have suffered considerable injuries."

Hearing this, Anle's heart sank.

He now understood why he was unable to contact Gu Shanshan during the simulation.

As expected, he was restrained by the enemy's deity.

The reason behind this also made Anle feel cold in his heart.

The battle was still going on hard at the front line, but the people in the rear were doing such a thing out of such sinister thoughts.

Anle asked, "Is Master okay now?"

Yang Rongzi replied: "Elder Gu's injury is not too serious, he will probably recover soon."

He hesitated, then looked into Anle's eyes and said, "Given the current situation, the end of the war is still a long way off. She will definitely not be able to return to Taixu Palace in a short time."

"As her disciple, you should be more careful in your actions in the near future."

Anle understood clearly and knew Yang Rongzi's subtext.

Now Gu Shanshan is far away on the battlefield, and is suspected of being targeted by powerful people in the palace. He is unable to take care of himself and is unable to protect disciples like Anle.

Yang Rongzi hoped that he would be more obedient for the time being and not cause unnecessary trouble.

For example, the incident at the Qinghan branch hall this time, even though it seemed downplayed in Jiang Yun's narration, Yang Rongzi could still sense the danger in it. He was afraid that if he was not careful, he would be doomed.

Anle was touched by his kindness, but also felt a little aggrieved.

"It's never me who looks for trouble, but trouble that comes to me!"

"Alas, I just want to live a peaceful life, why is it so difficult?"

******

After receiving this advice from Yang Rongzi, Anle did not linger any longer and set off on his journey home with Jiang Yun, Ye Ling'er and others.

Before leaving, Anle unexpectedly saw a female cultivator whom he was not familiar with.

"That person is called Shen Man, right? He seems to be Daoist Jiang's..."
