Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

On the border line of the northeast corner of Qian Kingdom, among the mountains and valleys, two figures were flying at low altitude at an extremely fast speed. They were Gu Chi and the big black dog.

Gu Chi held the map of Qian Kingdom in his hand and fled to the border while avoiding the headquarters of the sects, religions and aristocratic families on it.

She had now completely regained her composure, with a slight sweat on her forehead. She knew that she had poked a big hole in the sky at Qingluan Mountain.

Three hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators died in just one day. This could no longer be classified as a quarrel between ordinary cultivators. It could be said to be a small-scale battle!

With such a big commotion, the Qian Kingdom court and the ten major immortal sects will definitely conduct an investigation. Gu Chi is now planning to flee Qian Kingdom and go to the neighboring Jiuli Dynasty to avoid the limelight.

They quickly shuttled through the mountains and valleys, and heard that there was a little-known path here that could directly bypass the Qian Kingdom border and enter the Jiuli Dynasty.

"To be on the safe side, let's wait until dark before we act." Gu Chi glanced around and immediately took the big black dog to a platform on a cliff to rest for a while.

Gu Chi sat down with his back against the cliff, looked at the big black dog with a serious face, and said: "Old Black, you must remember every word I say from now on."

"what?"

"As for the various situations you'll encounter during the tribulation, I've already summarized them while traveling these past few days. You must remember them well. This will save you a lot of trouble when the time comes."

Hearing this, the big black dog immediately sat up straight, pricked up its ears and waited attentively for Gu Chi's next words.

"first……"

Gu Chi began to transmit his voice through his telepathy. The big black dog was horrified and felt unsure. However, when he thought of Gu Chi being with him, he suddenly felt less scared and his heart was full of anticipation.

When night fell, a man and a dog sneaked out of the border of Qian Kingdom through a little-known secret passage and entered the territory of Jiuli Dynasty.

The territory of the Jiuli Dynasty was vast and boundless. Even though one-third of its territory had been occupied by the Qian Kingdom, it was still very vast.

However, most of the Jiuli Dynasty was a deserted plateau. The man and the dog galloped at full speed for seven days before they finally saw a small town.

Before entering the city, Gu Chi and Big Black Dog transformed themselves into teenagers, looking no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, and wearing rough cloth.

They cast a spell to conceal their cultivation level, thinking that this would keep them from being seen, but they were spotted as soon as they entered the city.

……

"My dear friends, my brothers and I both come from the mountains. Just look at the clothes we wear and you'll see. We don't look like rich people at all."

In a dilapidated house, Gu Chi and the big black dog were tied to a chair, back to back.

A big man with a thick beard, holding a big knife in his hand, circled around Gu Chi and the big black dog, and finally put the knife on Gu Chi's neck and asked, "Where are you from?"

There were dozens of rough men dressed like bandits around, staring at them with unfriendly expressions.

"Brother, my brother and I are both from the mountains. We are so poor that we haven't eaten for several days. We really have no money..." Gu Chi said in a crying voice.

The bearded man looked them up and down and said, "Don't be nervous. We're not robbing people. Since you two brothers are living so miserably, how about I find some work for you?"

Before Gu Chi could ask what kind of work they were supposed to do, someone nearby spoke up, saying, "Boss, you're not planning to send these two people to the higher-ups to report on them, are you? These two skinny guys, if you send them over, will the higher-ups be interested in them?"

"I think the dark-skinned guy is quite strong. As for the fair-skinned guy, although he looks a little thin, he is young. He is much better than the old, weak, and sick ones we picked before. Now that the higher-ups seem to be short of workers, I guess they won't be so picky."

"It's strange, they want so many people all at once. What on earth do they want them to do?"

"It is said that a powerful force has come forward and is recruiting people to go to the northern border to mine spiritual minerals."

The people around started talking about it. Gu Chi was originally thinking about whether to lift the seal and rush out of the thieves' den with the big black dog, but when he heard that he was going to be sent to dig spiritual mines, he suddenly had a different idea in his mind and decided to wait and see for the time being.

The bearded man looked at Gu Chi again and said, "You heard it too. We're sending you over to work for those powerful forces. If you can gain the appreciation of those above you, your future path in life will be smooth sailing."

Gu Chi nodded and said with a smile: "It all depends on the arrangements of the boss."

Seeing her being so understanding, the bearded man was very satisfied. He turned around and ordered, "First, give them some food, and then send them to the Dongxing Gang."

The so-called Dongxing Gang is just a small gang. Compared with the Heming Sect, it is not even a hair away, but in this town it is a giant.

According to Gu Chi, the real master of this area with a radius of 3,000 miles is an ancient Taoist sect called [Xuanyuan Immortal Palace]. All the sects in this area are under its wings.

The Dongxing Gang, a local tyrant in a small place, is at the bottom of the pyramid and is controlled by another small sect that is affiliated with the Xuanyuan Immortal Palace.

Five days later, Gu Chi and Big Black Dog were transferred from the Dongxing Gang to a sect called "Lingxu".

"The higher-ups said that any mortals must be carefully examined! Don't let even a single cultivator in!"

The Lingxu Sect is affiliated with the Xuanyuan Immortal Palace and serves it.

An old man holding an ancient mirror asked Gu Chi and others to come forward one by one to check their cultivation status.

"Very good, they are all mortals without any cultivation." The old man holding the ancient mirror nodded with satisfaction.

However, this was not the end. Then more than a dozen old men came forward and checked it over and over again. Only after they confirmed that everything was correct did they let Gu Chi and the other hundreds of people pass.

After all, they were working for the Xuanyuan Immortal Palace, so they naturally tried their best to do their best and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

In the past few days, Gu Chi also learned a lot of information.

There are rich spiritual mines in the northern border of the Jiuli Dynasty. Recently, it is said that an extraordinary spiritual stone has been unearthed. Many transcendent forces have been alarmed and have traveled to the northern border to support their representatives to mine in the mining area where the top-grade spiritual stone was discovered.

Long before countless years, the various ancient sects and aristocratic families of the Jiuli Dynasty had already divided up the northern territory and had their own mining areas.

This time, top-grade spirit stones appeared in the mining area of ​​Xuanyuan Immortal Palace in the northern border, and Xuanyuan Immortal Palace attached great importance to it.

As for why only mortals go mining, the reason is very simple.

Mortals are not only easier to control than cultivators, but they are also unable to practice cultivation, so there is no need to worry about someone embezzling spiritual stones while mining spiritual mines.
