Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

"What daytime guy? What substitute mission?"

Someone quickly explained, "A young man came to the academy gate this morning, saying he could take on any number of fights. As long as the price was right, he'd even beat up the elders and famous figures."

"How could he possibly interfere in the internal conflicts of our Holy Spirit Academy? He even attacked the elders and famous figures without mercy. This is outrageous!"

"Did he tell me his name?" a senior brother asked with a serious face.

Everyone shook their heads, but claimed to have heard the man call himself "Mr. Gu".

"Gu?" Song Huan frowned and instructed the people around him, "Go check if there's any cultivator named Gu nearby. No matter who he is, he injured a disciple of our academy and he deserves an explanation."

"By the way, I just heard someone say that Hongmeng Dojo has recently produced a powerful successor. He not only beat up several of our junior brothers and sisters in the academy, but also looted all the treasures on them. Is there any connection between the two?" someone said.

"I've heard about it too, and I'm planning to go over there tomorrow to see what's going on. If that notorious sect has truly revived, we must eradicate it as soon as possible!"

"In my opinion, this is most likely the same person. That dilapidated mountain gate is rotten to the core, from the old to the young, and they have a grudge against our academy. They may be doing this to stir up internal conflicts within our academy."

On top of a bell tower in the distance, Gu Chi hid in the darkness, speechless. She didn't expect that after all the analysis, these people would eventually lock on to her.

But she was not worried. After all, she had a backer now. No matter how big a mess she caused, that old man Lingxiaoke would always be there to help her.

The most urgent task at the moment is to find the Jade Purity Divine Pool of the Holy Spirit Academy and see if it is possible to be reborn again.

Not long after, a girl who looked only eighteen or nineteen years old appeared in front of the magnificent gate of the Holy Spirit Academy, leading a yellow dog.

The girl had delicate features, a pretty face, a slender and tall figure, and she walked into the academy with a big yellow dog in her hand.

The management of the Holy Spirit Academy was not strict, and people from the surrounding markets were allowed to enter and exit. A man and a dog did not look out of place among the crowd, and were naturally mistaken for students of the academy.

Gu Chi stopped from time to time and was deeply attracted by the picturesque scenery in the academy and the cliff stone tablets with the imprint of the avenue.

The big black dog's eyes flashed with brilliance as he copied and imprinted the marks of the great principles left by the predecessors in his heart, and decided to study them slowly after returning.

Afterwards, Gu Chi took out a map given by Ling Xiaoke, walked along a cobblestone path into a quiet place, and entered the deepest part of the academy.

The man and the dog turned left and right, and were stopped and questioned several times along the way. However, when they saw the token in Gu Chi's hand, they all wisely stepped back and stopped stopping them.

Gu Chi was secretly delighted and said, "It seems that this should be a high-level pass in the Holy Spirit Academy. This old man is really good. He can even get such a thing."

When they stepped into an important area that was not open to outsiders, they immediately triggered the protective magic circle of the place. At this time, the ancient token in Gu Chi's hand also bloomed with dazzling brilliance, blocking all rune attacks and opening up a peaceful path.

The bright moon hung high in the sky, casting a peaceful silver glow. A man and a dog passed through dozens of magic arrays in succession. Relying on the ancient token given by Lingxiaoke, they had an unimpeded journey and finally arrived at a place shrouded in mist and clouds.

"This should be the fairy pond where the Jade Pure Divine Lotus is planted." Gu Chi raised his eyes and looked forward. There was mist everywhere and brilliant sunlight was flowing.

Although there is still some distance between us, I can already smell a refreshing fragrance.

Gu Chi originally thought that this was just a medium-sized pond, but now that he was there in person, he felt that describing it as a lake would be more accurate.

The moonlight is like water, bright and warm.

The lake is sparkling, like divine juice, filled with a refreshing fragrance.

Before coming here, Gu Chi already knew a lot about this fairy pond. There were rumors that there was an immortal corpse buried under the pond, which merged with Taoism and eventually gave birth to the Jade Pure Divine Lotus, which also purified the water quality of the pond.

In the past, many people had their eyes on this fairy pond, including the young Lingxiaoke, but they failed in the end.

"puff"

The man and the dog dived into the water at the same time, and suddenly felt relaxed all over. The rich life essence turned into strands and penetrated into their bodies, circling around, cleansing their limbs and every inch of flesh and blood, and expelling all kinds of impurities and foul air from their bodies.

"Awoo~" The big black dog barked comfortably, floating on the water like a ball, unwilling to move.

Gu Chi swam towards the center of the lake where the Jade Purity Divine Lotus was located. However, not long after he swam out, the surrounding scenery changed drastically.

The clouds were billowing and the divine light was surging. There were actually brilliant and blazing balls of light circling and floating on the water like the sun and stars. From time to time, terrifying lightning suddenly appeared in the sky.

Gu Chi noticed that those light balls contained different magnificent mountains and rivers, like independent little worlds!

"What's going on?" Gu Chi was surprised. After making sure there was no danger, she quickly passed through the gaps between the small worlds. When she approached the center of the lake, the life energy around her suddenly became more than ten times denser!

"With such a rich life essence, even if you leave a dead person here to soak for a few days, they might be able to be brought back to life."

Gu Chi continued to swim towards the center, and strands of auspicious light turned into rainbows and intertwined together, so gorgeous that it was intoxicating.

"arrive!"

Gu Chi felt a surge of vigorous and powerful life energy, and immediately her eyes lit up as she looked forward. Through the misty water vapor and auspicious light, she finally saw the true face of the Jade Purity Divine Lotus. But what surprised her was that the so-called Jade Purity Divine Lotus was actually an ancient tree!

It was an ancient tree, its entire body as translucent as colored glaze jade, its trunk as vigorous as a coiled dragon, and four or five grown men could not even wrap their arms around it. It was like an old dragon lying dormant in shallow water, with countless colorful crystal lotus leaves growing on the trunk near the water.

If you look closely, you can find that the trunk that is as vigorous as a dragon is actually just a rhizome of the Jade Pure Divine Lotus. It is just too majestic and thick, like an ancient tree rooted in water.

"That's the real Jade Purity Immortal Pool!"

Gu Chi noticed that where the Jade Pure Divine Lotus took root, it was surrounded by colorful jade stones, forming a small pool with a radius of more than ten feet. The water in the pool was like golden magma, gushing out there.

Obviously, that is the real Jade Purity Fairy Pool!

Gu Chi approached carefully, wanting to get closer to absorb the divine liquid. It would be even better if he could pick a few more lotus leaves.

However, the real Yuqing Immortal Pool is guarded by multiple complex formations, and various restrictions cover every inch of space, making it impossible to approach.

Even though she had the token given by Lingxiaoke, she was still blocked outside and could not go any further.
