Start building the foundation: What is the Southern Xinjiang Corpse Puppet?

"Frost Moon Sword! It seems to be Fairy Gu."

"Then the person next to her must be Song Guili!"

"As expected of the two Wuji masters, they are already foundation-building cultivators at such a young age."

Gu Qingcheng frowned slightly at the scrutiny from the crowd. She looked at the arrogant female cultivator and pointed at the young fellow behind her:

"Even if you suspect that the lost storage bag is related to him, you should produce evidence. This young Taoist is only at the third level of Qi Refining. How could he steal the storage bag right under your nose?"

The female cultivator's face was not very good. After knowing that Gu Qingcheng in front of her was one of the two best in Wuji Sect, a hint of jealousy flashed across her eyes. She glanced at the male cultivator with the potential to be a banished immortal who was carrying a light sword on his back next to her.

"I... I lost my storage bag, and in a hurry, I misunderstood my... Daoist friend."

Faced with the looks from everyone, the female cultivator felt extremely embarrassed. After saying this, she was about to run away.

"Wait!" Gu Qingcheng's sword was across the female cultivator's body, blocking her: "Since it is a misunderstanding, you must apologize."

"You... I've already said it's a misunderstanding, don't..." She didn't say the words "getting an inch further". When she saw the sword in front of her trembling slightly, the female cultivator's neck turned red with anger. She looked extremely ashamed and angry. She glared at Xiao Tong and gritted her teeth and said:

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now."

After saying this, the female cultivator saw that the sword in front of her had returned to Gu Qingcheng's hand, so she ran out of the crowd directly.

Xiao Tong, who was hiding behind Gu Qingcheng, was a little panicked. He tightly protected his sister and said to Gu Qingcheng:

"Thank you, fairy! If it weren't for you, I'm afraid that even if I had opened my mouth one more time today, the fairy wouldn't have believed me just now."

With his cultivation level at the third level of Qi Refining, if that female cultivator got really angry, he would definitely suffer.

"It's okay." Gu Qingcheng said calmly, then turned around and said to Song Guili beside him:

"Brother, let's go."

"Okay!" Song Guili stood aside, watching the movements here quietly. When he heard his junior sister speak, he took the lead and walked forward.

After taking two steps, Song Guili paused, tilted his head, and then frowned slightly.

He saw two slender figures standing side by side in the crowd not far away. He didn't know one of them, but the aura around him gave him a strange feeling. As for the other one, he did look familiar.

Seeing that her senior brother had a strange expression, Gu Qingcheng also looked over. After seeing Luo San's face, she was also stunned.

Unlike Song Guili who only felt that he looked familiar, Gu Qingcheng had also heard of Luo Shan. As a rival of her good friend, this fellow Taoist Luo Shan from the Southern Xinjiang Corpse Puppet had made a big splash in the Donglin Secret Realm.

He single-handedly forced Yinshan Sect's chief disciple Yin Zizhang to leave the secret realm early, and then disappeared. Unexpectedly, he was actually in Dongyue...

Thinking of the message she received from her good friend, Gu Qingcheng's cold face showed a rare trace of confusion.

To be honest, she had no grudges against this fellow Taoist Luo from the Southern Xinjiang Corpse Puppet, but if she didn't tell Ying Chan, the conflict between the two tribes in Southern Xinjiang would become even more irreversible.

Thinking of how the Southern Xinjiang Corpse Puppet tribe blamed the disappearance of Fellow Daoist Luo entirely on the Gu Clan, and how conflicts had repeatedly broken out on the border between the Gu Clan and the Corpse Puppet tribe.

Gu Qingcheng decided to tell her friends about her encounter with Fellow Daoist Luo in Wuwang City.

"Junior sister, do you recognize that female cultivator?" Song Guili felt that Luo San looked familiar. Seeing his junior sister's strange expression, he asked indifferently.

"That person is Luo Shan, the corpse puppet from Southern Xinjiang who disappeared after the end of the Donglin Secret Realm." Gu Qingcheng replied.

"Is it her?" Song Guili was surprised.

"Yes, it's her." Gu Qingcheng thought about it and walked over.

Luo San, who was not far away, noticed the gazes of Song Guili and Gu Qingcheng. She did not avoid them, but looked between the two of them. The corner of Luo San's eye quickly and inconspicuously glanced at Ling Wanran, who had changed her skin and appearance.

Although his face had changed, the emotions in his eyes were still revealed.

Ling Wanran looked at Gu Qingcheng who was getting closer and closer, and a sense of jealousy rose in her heart. She actually understood that what happened in her previous life had nothing to do with Gu Qingcheng, but as soon as she saw Gu Qingcheng from the Wuji Sect, she could not control her negative emotions.

Trying hard to suppress the anger in her heart, Ling Wanran lowered her head and didn't look at Gu Qingcheng's beautiful face.

"Fellow Daoist Luo!" Gu Qingcheng walked straight to Luo Shan, and a faint smile appeared on her frosty face. At that moment, she looked like a blooming snow lotus, cold and noble.

"Fellow Daoist Gu." Luo Shan responded with the same faint smile and nodded to Song Guili behind Gu Qingcheng as a greeting.

"An unexpected incident occurred in the secret realm that day, and we cultivators left the secret realm in advance. We were a little surprised to learn that Fellow Daoist Luo was missing."

When she was trying to snatch the Yin-Yang Tree that day, she saw this Daoist Luo and Ying Chan working together to deal with the disciples of the Demon Sect and not being at a disadvantage.

Later, she heard about the deeds of Fellow Daoist Luo from Ying Chan.

As a Qi-refining cultivator, he crossed the boundary and refined a foundation-building corpse puppet, which shows his courage. After successfully refining the foundation-building corpse puppet, he broke through the foundation-building stage right after that, which shows the aptitude of this Daoist Fellow Luo.

Unexpectedly, in just a few months, this Daoist Fellow Luo broke through to the middle stage of foundation building again. She obtained the inheritance in the secret realm, and later when she left the sect to complete the sect's mission, she accidentally broke into a cave where a cultivator was sitting in meditation, and gained a lot of opportunities, which allowed her to break through to the middle stage of foundation building. She thought her cultivation speed was already fast, but she didn't expect that this Daoist Fellow Luo was on par with her.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingcheng became a little curious about Luo San.

"The situation was special at the time. Fortunately, his life was not in danger. So he was not in a hurry to return to Southern Xinjiang. He planned to travel in East Vietnam." Luo San said.

Gu Qingcheng understood, and then looked at the female cultivator next to Luo Shan: "Who is this?"

The female cultivator looked at her with a strange look in her eyes. Although the look quickly subsided, her five senses were sharp and she could sense a hint of hostility from the female cultivator.

"I'm Lin Ran, a casual cultivator. I've long heard of Fairy Gu's name." Ling Wanran curled the corners of her mouth, met Gu Qingcheng's gaze, and then quickly looked away.

“Fairy Lin, you don’t need to call me Fairy Gu. Just call me Daoist Fellow along with Daoist Fellow Luo.”

Gu Qingcheng suppressed the doubts in her heart. She had no memory of this Fairy Lin, so why was she hostile to her? Did she have a grudge against the Wuji Sect, or... did she conceal her appearance?

"Fairy Gu is one of the two greatest masters of the Wuji Sect. How can Lin Ran be worthy of being called a fellow Taoist like Fairy Gu?" Perhaps sensing the temptation in Gu Qingcheng's words, Ling Wanran pondered for a while and decided to create a character for herself.

"Fairy Lin, you're joking." Gu Qingcheng thought to herself that this female cultivator was indeed hostile to her.

"Oh, what a joke! You disciples of your sect have always been arrogant and look down on independent practitioners like me." Ling Wanran said as she took a step back.

It was the first time that Gu Qingcheng was confronted so bluntly. She looked at Luo San in surprise, with a questioning look in her eyes.

“Don’t blame me, Fellow Daoist Gu. It’s just that Fellow Daoist Lin met a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect in the Heritage Hall not long ago, and some unpleasant things happened. So Fellow Daoist Lin is…”

Luo San tried to smooth things over, but he was actually very excited in his heart.

It’s really interesting. I didn’t expect that Fellow Daoist Ling and Fellow Daoist Gu still have some “entanglements”. I just don’t know whether this entanglement happened in this life or the previous life.
