Chapter 248

"Ding!"

"Wen Zhong is trapped in the trouble of suppressing the rebellion and cannot get away for a while. Congratulations to the Host for triggering a random mission. Please make a choice in time, Host."

"Option One: Help Wen Zhong suppress the rebellion. Reward: high-grade innate spiritual root, Nine Yang Spiritual Vine! (A spiritual vine that grows in the land of extreme yang. After taking it, it can significantly improve fire-attribute characteristics, increase cultivation, and physical strength!)"

"Option Two: Encourage him. Reward: low-grade innate spiritual treasure, Heavenly Gang Thunder Seal!" (The seal is engraved with Heavenly Gang star and lightning runes. When the thunder seal falls, it will trigger the Heavenly Gang Divine Thunder, like ten thousand thunderbolts erupting at the same time, with earth-shattering power, capable of turning a large area into scorched earth!)

While talking to Wen Zhong, he saw the two options that popped up.

Gu Xiu thought for a moment.

Helping Wen Zhong suppress the rebellion was impossible.

He silently chose the second option in his heart.

"Ding!"

"Selection successful. Host encouraged Wen Zhong and can receive a reward!"

While talking to Wen Zhong, Gu Xiu changed the subject.

"Grand Preceptor, the road to suppressing the rebellion is extremely difficult. Since you have already made your choice, I won't say much more. I can only hope that you will suppress the rebellion soon and return to Zhaoge to preside over the overall situation."

At the same time, the system mission completion prompt sounded.

"Ding!"

"Encouraging Wen Zhong completed. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the low-grade innate spiritual treasure, Heavenly Gang Thunder Seal!"

Hearing Gu Xiu's words, Wen Zhong's expression was solemn. He had been worried about the situation in Zhaoge when he set out.

Fortunately, during these days, from the news received from Zhaoge, Zhaoge was still stable, so he felt at ease suppressing the rebellion outside.

Wen Zhong sighed: "I only hope not to fail the late king's entrustment."

Relying on Wen Zhong alone, it was impossible to suppress the rebellion in a short time.

Although he had no time to help Wen Zhong suppress the rebellion, he did not want the Chan Sect's conspiracy against Wen Zhong to succeed, so Gu Xiu took out the Heavenly Gang Thunder Seal.

"Grand Preceptor, I have a Heavenly Gang Thunder Seal here, which is a low-grade innate spiritual treasure. I will give it to you. I hope you will use this treasure well to suppress the rebellion and return in triumph soon."

"This, Junior Brother, is it really okay to give me such a precious magic treasure?"

Wen Zhong hesitated. There were very few third-generation disciples who could have decent magic treasures, let alone an innate spiritual treasure. Although it was low-grade, not many third-generation disciples possessed one; it was too precious.

Gu Xiu said indifferently: "The situation is critical now, and the Grand Preceptor is just in time to use this treasure. You can take it. Could it be that the Grand Preceptor doesn't want to suppress the rebellion as soon as possible?"

A hint of emotion flashed in Wen Zhong's eyes. He took the Heavenly Gang Thunder Seal with both hands and said solemnly: "Junior Brother, rest assured, I will definitely not fail the mission and let this treasure exert its maximum power."

Gu Xiu nodded.

As long as Wen Zhong suppresses the rebellion as soon as possible and returns to Zhaoge, I guess the Chan Sect will have a headache for a while.

As long as it is something that can make the Chan Sect grind their teeth in anger, it is worth doing.

Saying goodbye to Wen Zhong, Gu Xiu set off for the Three Immortals Island.

This trip took a lot of time. When he returned to the East Sea and saw the familiar outline of the immortal island appearing in front of him, the fatigue in his heart eased a little.

When he returned to his residence, he found an extra figure.

Looking closely, it was Yang Jian.

This surprised Gu Xiu a little, but thinking that Yang Jian had been out for almost three years, he had given him three years of training time at the beginning.

Yang Jian and Yang Chan were talking, noticed someone, and looked up.

Seeing Gu Xiu return, the two were very happy and stepped forward to welcome him.

"Teacher, you are back."

"Immortal."

Gu Xiu nodded, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

"Yang Jian, you are back. You siblings haven't seen each other for a long time, so you must have a lot to say. Did I interrupt you by appearing suddenly?"

Yang Jian said with a smile: "Teacher, you are joking. This disciple returned and heard from Third Sister that you were out, and was wondering when you would return. Now that you are back, this disciple is too happy to be interrupted."

Yang Chan, who was on the side, hurriedly said: "Immortal, Second Brother was just talking about you, and I didn't expect you to return."

"Oh, what was he saying about me?" Gu Xiu asked curiously.

"Second Brother encountered many things during this training and was just about to share them with the Immortal."

"Then I must listen carefully," Gu Xiu smiled.

He greeted Yang Jian and Yang Chan to go to the stone table to listen to what interesting things Yang Jian had encountered in his three years of training.

Beside the stone table, Gu Xiu, Yang Jian, and Yang Chan sat together.

Yang Jian told the story of his experience going out,

Gu Xiu listened and nodded from time to time.

Yang Chan was also full of interest when she heard Yang Jian tell some interesting things.

After listening to Yang Jian's experiences, Gu Xiu showed a look of appreciation: "Not bad, not bad. Yang Jian, it seems that you have gained a lot from this training. You have not only improved your cultivation to the late stage of Mysterious Immortal but also honed your mind and exercised your combat skills. I am very satisfied."

Hearing Gu Xiu's praise, a look of joy appeared on Yang Jian's face: "This is all thanks to Teacher's teaching. This disciple will definitely work twice as hard in the future and will not live up to your expectations."

Yang Jian received Gu Xiu's approval, and a look of joy also appeared on Yang Chan's beautiful face.

"By the way, Teacher, when this disciple was training outside, I found that there were constant wars in the human world, and many demons were mixed in among them. I wonder if there is any great calamity coming?"

Gu Xiu's expression was calm, and he said indifferently: "There is indeed a great calamity in the world at present, so demons appear everywhere in the world, and disputes are constant."

"Teacher, I wonder what kind of great calamity the world is facing?" Yang Jian's face was full of doubts, and he couldn't help but ask.

He hadn't told Yang Jian about the Investiture of the Gods before. Now that Yang Jian had returned from training and Jiang Ziya had also gone down the mountain, it was time to tell Yang Jian.

So Gu Xiu told Yang Jian and Yang Chan about the Investiture of the Gods calamity.

After listening, Yang Jian was full of anger.

"In order to eliminate the killing calamity on the Twelve Golden Immortals, the Chan Sect actually disregarded the stability of the world, incited the various feudal lords to rebel, causing the people to suffer and be displaced. It is simply unforgivable."

Having long known about the Investiture of the Gods and the nature of the Chan Sect, Gu Xiu's face was very calm.

He said in a flat tone.

"Regarding the Investiture of the Gods, the Chan Sect schemes against my Jie Sect everywhere, and there will inevitably be a contest with them in the future. So Yang Jian, since you are back, cultivate well and don't slack off."

"Teacher, rest assured. Before I have the ability to save my mother, Yang Jian will not dare to slack off for a moment. If the thieves of the Chan Sect dare to come to the Three Immortals Island again, I will definitely not let them go." Regarding the time when Yuding Zhenren came to the Three Immortals Island, Yang Jian had always kept it in mind, thinking that one day he would definitely avenge the hatred of that day.

"Since the Immortal and Second Brother are both back, why don't I cook some home-cooked dishes to celebrate?" Yang Chan said happily.

"Thank you for your trouble, Third Sister."

It was rare to see Yang Chan so happy, and Gu Xiu didn't want to break the atmosphere, so he nodded.

"It hasn't been this lively for a long time. Everyone should sit down and have a good meal. Although we don't have any immortal delicacies, it's good to eat some home-cooked dishes."

The ingredients on the Three Immortals Island were all spiritual plants. Although they were of no use to them at the moment, it was quite good to satisfy their cravings.
