Chapter 372

~16 min read 3,014 words

Under the blue sky, amidst the sea of clouds.

Gu Qing stood before Caiyun Xianzi Chang'e, feeling waves of chill like tides, pulling and dragging, almost making Gu Qing unable to stand steady. The solid Sun Golden Core also began to "overflow" outward at this time.

Gu Qing had now condensed the Sun Golden Core, and his cultivation was stronger than that of ordinary Golden Core stage cultivators. However, the Caiyun Xianzi Chang'e before him might be a holy being, and the gap between the two was difficult to measure by reason. Therefore, when facing Chang'e, Gu Qing pretended to be honest and secretly opened the "Dao Heart Planting Demon" to the fullest, choosing to use personal charm to resolve the situation when his strength was insufficient.

"You use this to test an immortal?"

Caiyun Xianzi Chang'e had shallow dimples, and her peerless face carried a chill.

Hearing this, Gu Qing knew deeply that Chang'e had been spying for a long time, and even his own language style had been learned away. He hurriedly took back the amber vermilion ribbon and said sincerely: "It is really because there is nothing presentable in my hands. The Caiyun Xianzi has a peerless appearance, jewelry cannot add luster, and gorgeous decorations cannot add color. In terms of cultivation, Gu Qing is just starting..."

Gu Qing seemed very ashamed.

But the situation was just like this. If he let Gu Qing compensate, Gu Qing couldn't compensate for anything, but Gu Qing gave enough of the attitude of admitting mistakes that women wanted.

"Your mouth is quite sweet."

Caiyun Xianzi Chang'e's voice was indifferent, saying: "No wonder you can coax the Caiyun Xianzi of Hundred Flowers until she is dizzy."

Sweet mouth?

Not as sweet as your bellyband!

Gu Qing knew deeply that Caiyun Xianzi Chang'e and the Caiyun Xianzi of Hundred Flowers had conflicts. At this time, he did not pick up the topic, but just said: "If the Caiyun Xianzi often looks down, you should know that this humble Daoist is a person who keeps his word. Now this humble Daoist's cultivation is low, and I can only owe the Caiyun Xianzi. When this humble Daoist's cultivation is successful, or when I obtain a strange treasure, I will definitely repay it to compensate for the Caiyun Xianzi's kindness in teaching the Dharma."

When he had nothing, Gu Qing could only owe it.

"Teaching the Dharma?"

Caiyun Xianzi Chang'e scanned Gu Qing and said: "You speak quite nicely."

She had been observing Gu Qing all along, and she was clear about Gu Qing's situation. She also saw Gu Qing setting up a bridge for Bai Suzhen, and even more saw Lu Dongbin's hints to Gu Qing.

"This humble Daoist held a heart of fluke before."

Gu Qing said again: "I secretly thought that Caiyun Xianzi Chang'e had not discovered it, and I did not dare to worship Caiyun Xianzi Chang'e. When this humble Daoist returns to the mortal world this time, I will definitely set up a temple to worship Caiyun Xianzi Chang'e."

The big pie that Gu Qing could draw at the current stage was just this much.

Chang'e sneered at this and said: "You mixed with the Caiyun Xianzi of Hundred Flowers, and you still want me to let you off lightly?"

The scenes of Gu Qing and the Caiyun Xianzi of Hundred Flowers had already been traced back by Chang'e. For the two of them conspiring to steal her secret manual, Chang'e could not forgive them.

"Please punish me heavily, Caiyun Xianzi."

Gu Qing's attitude of admitting mistakes was excellent.

When Lu Dongbin found Gu Qing and hinted at Gu Qing to rebel, Gu Qing felt that he might also have conceived the "Mandate of Heaven." Before the matter was accomplished, he would not easily be gone. This was also one of the foundations for Gu Qing to dare to go to heaven.

So Gu Qing also let Chang'e punish him. As long as it did not affect Gu Qing's cultivation, Gu Qing could accept any punishment. Of course, if the Caiyun Xianzi took a leather whip and whipped him hard, that would be even better.

"You are quite daring to act and take responsibility."

Caiyun Xianzi Chang'e saw that Gu Qing's attitude of admitting mistakes was good, and she gave rare recognition. Her gaze also scrutinized Gu Qing and said: "I will look for you in the future."

After Caiyun Xianzi Chang'e finished saying this, her body hid, and she disappeared in front of Gu Qing.

But at the same time, the aura of the Sun Golden Core on Gu Qing's body overflowed, and he clearly felt that Chang'e was right in front of him, faintly echoing with his true essence.

"Little Daoist."

Right in this Immortal Palace, an immortal elder floated before him, wearing a fire-washed cloth Daoist robe, with a high and ancient appearance, holding a divine staff, walking forward step by step, saying: "This is not a place for you to come."

"Immortal Elder."

Gu Qing saluted the immortal elder before him, his eye sockets immediately turned red, and he said: "This humble Daoist cultivates in the mortal world, accumulates virtue and does good, and does not dare to be the slightest bit negligent. Because a friend is seriously ill, I dared to go to heaven to seek immortal medicine."

The immortal elder before him pinched his fingers slightly and suddenly said: "So it was you, hehe, you sought medicine in the wrong place."

Gu Qing was bewildered and uncomprehending. This going to heaven was inspired by the immortals.

"You don't understand."

The immortal elder before him sold a pass and stepped forward to leave. Seeing this, Gu Qing hurriedly followed the immortal elder and requested the immortal elder to explain clearly.

"This tribulation of yours was entirely created by Lu Dongbin."

The immortal elder leaned on his divine staff and walked in front, pointing out the way for Gu Qing, saying: "You are a person of good faith in the mortal world, which is why you were pointed out by the door gods to enter the Daoist gate, and then you practiced the Dao devoutly and had quite a few strange encounters, obtaining the love of the gods above and below Hangzhou. Even the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper could manifest sanctity for you in the mortal world. Thus, you have become a rising new star in the immortal Dao, and most of the gods in the Heavenly Realm know you."

So I have already become a familiar face in the immortal world circle?

While the immortal elder was speaking, he and Gu Qing had walked through many mountains and rivers and passed through many halls without noticing.

"At this time, Lu Dongbin passed through Hangzhou, heard someone discussing him below, so he descended to the mortal world and saw you worshipping the Medicine Gods, but there was no him among them."

The immortal elder said: "This made him angry, so this Lu Dongbin met you, gave you the spiritual elixir, and suppressed the primordial spirits of the two snakes, just to let you seek him and know that he is the Medicine God... Do you believe it? Even if you arrived at the Medicine God Hall and sought the spiritual medicine, it would only be able to wake them up for a while. Before long, those two little snakes would faint again."

The immortal elder explained the cause and effect clearly.

Gu Qing felt that it was not like this. He looked at the immortal elder before him and asked for the immortal elder's great name.

"Antarctic Immortal Elder."

The old immortal stroked his beard and said his name.

"So it is the Longevity Star Elder."

Gu Qing bowed to the Longevity Star before him. In his heart, he thought of the Legend of the White Snake, where Bai Suzhen sought medicine for Xu Xian and sought it from the Antarctic Immortal Elder. At that time, the Antarctic Immortal Elder was playing chess with Taishang Laojun, but he had also prepared the lingzhi in advance for Bai Suzhen to pick.

"This humble Daoist in the mortal world only knows how to act according to the documents, fearing that worshipping Lu Zu and the true gods in the documents together would be wrong, but I didn't expect to offend Lu Zu."

Gu Qing's attitude of admitting mistakes was always excellent. He said again: "Please have mercy, Longevity Star Elder, and tell me Lu Zu's position, so that I can seek his forgiveness."

The Antarctic Immortal Elder stroked his beard and said: "April 15th is Lu Dongbin's birthday. No wonder he is angry. But no matter how angry he is, it should have dissipated. Let's go, I will take you to see him."

While speaking, the Antarctic Immortal Elder took Gu Qing and flashed, arriving before a palace.

Gu Qing raised his head and looked at the towering palace, with starlight exposed, having a different kind of dignity. He looked left and right and saw the two characters "North Pole." He immediately became solemn. This Antarctic Immortal Elder actually brought him to the outside of the Great Emperor Ziwei's palace.

At the same time, Gu Qing felt the moonlight faintly around him. Caiyun Xianzi Chang'e had been following nearby, but the Antarctic Immortal Elder seemed to be unaware of this.

"This is the Great Emperor Ziwei's palace?"

Gu Qing knew deeply that he might have fallen into some kind of routine, but the immortals were acting, and Gu Qing had to follow. Thus, looking at the Great Emperor Ziwei's palace, Gu Qing was very surprised.

"Lu Dongbin happens to be a guest here."

The Antarctic Immortal Elder knocked open the gate of the Great Emperor Ziwei's palace and brought Gu Qing into it. The palace inside was covered with starlight, and everywhere had a different kind of supernaturality. While looking around, Gu Qing followed the Antarctic Immortal Elder to the side hall.

"You wait here for a moment, I will go find Lu Dongbin first."

The Antarctic Immortal Elder let Gu Qing sit down and walked out on his own.

Seeing this, Gu Qing sat honestly on the chair, feeling a chill beside him, as if Caiyun Xianzi Chang'e was right beside him.

This Caiyun Xianzi Chang'e possessed strange power. Beside the Antarctic Immortal Elder, the Antarctic Immortal Elder could not sense her. It seemed that only Gu Qing, who possessed the Sun Golden Core, could know her invisibility.

This kind of feeling was only between Gu Qing and Chang'e.

"Whoosh..."

In this side hall, a cluster of starlight suddenly appeared. After coming from the outside, it went straight toward Gu Qing's body. In an instant, it merged into Gu Qing's body.

This starlight came fast and flashed quickly. Gu Qing did not defend against it at all. After entering Gu Qing's body, Gu Qing immediately operated the Sun Golden Core to sense it. He only felt that under this starlight, amidst the swallowing and spitting, the Sun Golden Core was rapidly purified, and that cluster of star rays, amidst this refining, also turned into a cluster of liquid, circling around Gu Qing's Golden Core, becoming a cluster of pure energy that was difficult to refine.

"Hit!"

After this starlight, several sword rays immediately appeared. Lu Dongbin's figure flashed and appeared here. Behind Lu Dongbin were the Antarctic Immortal Elder and the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper that Gu Qing was familiar with before.

"Gu Qing..."

After these immortals saw Gu Qing, they were all surprised.

"I have seen Lu Zu."

Gu Qing saluted Lu Dongbin sincerely, and then bowed repeatedly to the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper.

"Gu Qing."

The Antarctic Immortal Elder looked at Gu Qing, his gaze carrying a bit of surprise, and said: "What about that cluster of starlight just now?"

Hearing this inquiry, Gu Qing reported truthfully, saying: "That starlight has already merged into my body."

"How could it be like this?"

The Seven Stars of the Big Dipper seemed unable to accept it.

"It seems that this is all fate."

The Antarctic Immortal Elder said again: "Gu Qing, I really didn't expect that you would have such great fortune to be chosen by the Great Emperor Ziwei. This can no longer be summarized by luck."

"..."

Gu Qing watched these immortals walking through the plot, and he could only cooperate as much as possible, with a surprised expression on his face, listening to Lu Dongbin's explanation.

"That was the Ziwei Star Spirit just now."

Lu Dongbin said: "Once this Ziwei Star descends to the world, the mortal world will immediately change dynasties. I have been unable to stand the mortal court for a long time and wanted to change dynasties, so I came here to plead, but I didn't expect this Ziwei Star Spirit to attach itself to you. Perhaps this is fate."

Lu Dongbin had an expression that it should be so.

"The mortal world is going to change dynasties?"

Gu Qing wanted to get a definite message.

"This Ziwei Star has already possessed you. The change of dynasties in the mortal world is already inevitable."

Lu Dongbin opened his mouth and said.

Listening to Lu Dongbin's explanation, Gu Qing roughly figured out the state of the Ziwei Star Spirit. In general, this was not a soul, nor was it a life, but a kind of life destiny. This life destiny arrived at Gu Qing's place and could be used by Gu Qing, but there was not much that could be used. Only when Gu Qing shot this life destiny out and nurtured it into a life could this Ziwei Star become an innate life destiny.

This child born was Gu Qing and the woman's child, and also a material born to be an emperor.

"Is that so?"

Gu Qing felt the power of the life destiny in his body, feeling that it was almost the same as Bai Suzhen being pregnant with the Wenqu Star, warding off evil.

"Gu Qing."

The Antarctic Immortal Elder said: "Being able to become the father of the Ziwei Star Lord, you can be said to be on a smooth path in your cultivation journey from now on."

The Great Emperor Ziwei was the son of Doumu Yuanjun.

Gu Qing was going to become the father of the Ziwei Star.

Then the relationship between Gu Qing and Doumu Yuanjun was... biological mother and stepfather.

It sounded like he could rub off a little bit.

"But if you want to become the father of the Ziwei Star, you also have your responsibilities."

Lu Dongbin said: "That is to lay a good foundation for the Ziwei Star, let the Ziwei Star take fewer detours, let the mountains and rivers be unified as soon as possible, and let the common people be stable."

Hearing this, Gu Qing nodded directly. In his heart, he wanted to chant a passage of words, even though a person was not in his position... he forgot the rest, in short, it was to take the stage!

"Gu Qing..."

The Antarctic Immortal Elder walked to Gu Qing and said: "Although you are possessed by the Ziwei Star and have temporarily obtained supernaturality, for the sake of peace in the mortal world, you should find a mother for the Ziwei Star as soon as possible."

Hearing such words, Gu Qing immediately thought of the reason for coming to the Heavenly Court. He apologized to Lu Dongbin repeatedly, talked about the matters of Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, and requested Lu Dongbin to bestow medicine again, so that he could resolve the state of Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing.

"That is a small matter."

Hearing this, Lu Dongbin reached into his bosom, took out two things, and then an awkward expression appeared on his face, saying: "Recently, I have given away too many pills in the mortal world, and I really don't have any elixirs in my hands... Please bestow some more, Antarctic Immortal Elder."

Lu Dongbin begged the Antarctic Immortal Elder.

The Big Dipper notes death, the South Dipper manages life.

Hearing this, the Antarctic Immortal Elder smiled and shook his head, then took out a gourd and handed it directly to Gu Qing, saying: "You also refine medicine a lot in the mortal world. From now on, you can put the refined medicine in this gourd. Not only will the medicinal properties not retreat, but they will become more and more spiritual. With this gourd, you can also save all living beings."

The Antarctic Immortal Elder made an early investment in Gu Qing.

Gu Qing hurriedly took the gourd, feeling that the space inside was extremely large, divided into various grids, like the hundred-eye cabinet in the mortal world, with various medicinal herbs inside.

"The spiritual medicine I gave you, you put it in the gourd for three days, and the medicinal effect will increase by one time. Just let them share it."

Seeing the Antarctic Immortal Elder give out the gourd, Lu Dongbin hurriedly said.

Gu Qing thanked Lu Dongbin again, and then couldn't help but ask: "When I was in the mortal world, I studied the human body and knew that the human body ultimately digests spiritual medicine through the intestinal tract. If I divide the spiritual medicine into two halves and send them directly into the intestinal tract, can this half of the medicinal power save them?"

To tell the truth, when choosing one of two, Gu Qing thought of this method, but after thinking about it, he felt it was not safe, so he came to the Heavenly Court to ask for medical advice.

Once this question was asked, Lu Dongbin and the Antarctic Immortal Elder looked at each other, and then thought about whether they could save the two women according to Gu Qing's method...

The final conclusion was that it was possible!

Thinking about it this way, it actually made the two of them break out in a cold sweat.

The plan almost had a big deviation!
