Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

Seeing that the big black dog did not react, Gu Chi decisively sacrificed the Jade Cut, grabbed the big black dog's tail and lifted it up, turning it into a long beam of light, and rushed towards Huiming and his group's ship with his sword.

"Mr. Gu, are you okay?" Huiming came forward and asked with concern.

Gu Chi said, "I should be fine. Lao Hei might have a bigger problem. I can't wake him up. Come and see what's wrong with him!"

Huiming ordered his men to urge the ship to quickly move away from the Green Lantern Ghost Island and sail away. Then he squatted down, stretched out a hand and hung it over the big black dog's head, and carefully examined it with his spiritual sense.

"How is it? How is it? Is Lao Hei okay?" Gu Chi was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks and pounded his hands repeatedly.

After a long moment, Huiming withdrew his hand and said solemnly, "The situation isn't good. It's been severely eroded by the spirit of death on Qingdeng Ghost Island. Quickly send it to the Buddhist temple. I want to use Buddhist scriptures to purify the spirit of death from it!"

"Oh oh oh!" Gu Chi did not have time to be shocked that these people actually built a Buddhist temple with pure gold on the boat. He rushed into the temple with the big black dog in his arms and gently placed it on the cushion in front of a solemn Buddha statue.

Huiming followed in, clasped his hands together and bowed three times devoutly to the Buddha statue.

Gu Chi also imitated him and bowed three times, saying, "Buddha bless me, Buddha bless me, please don't let anything happen to Lao Hei. He and I have been dependent on each other for so many years. If anything happens to him, how can I live..."

Huiming glanced at her and said, "Sit down."

Gu Chi didn't react: "Ah? What?"

Huiming said in a more serious tone, "Sit down too! Do you think you're okay? Your situation isn't much better than its. Hurry and sit down!"

Hearing this, Gu Chi quickly found a cushion and sat down next to the big black dog.

As the chanting began, black gas could not stop coming out of the man and the dog's bodies, as if they were burned by fire, and the whole body was in unbearable burning pain.

Gu Chi clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and tried hard not to groan in pain. He said, "Master, is this normal?"

Huiming did not stop chanting, but threw a Buddhist scripture over to her and signaled her with his eyes to chant the contents of the Buddhist scripture with him.

Gu Chi opened the Buddhist scriptures and recited them aloud according to Huiming's rhythm.

At first, the scriptures were obscure and difficult to read, but as I recited them over and over again, I gradually became fluent and could barely keep up with Huiming's pace.

Wisps of black air continuously emerged from her and the big black dog's bodies, and were purified and erased in the holy Buddha's light and the solemn Buddhist sound.

At first, Gu Chi felt like she was being put on an oven, and her whole body felt like it was being burned by flames. She grimaced in pain, but gradually she could no longer feel it, and the anxiety in her heart was also wiped away.

About two or three hours later, the big black dog regained consciousness, and immediately started barking wildly in pain that spread throughout its body.

"Old Hei, stay calm! The master is purifying the evil spirits in us. Just be patient and it will be fine soon!" Gu Chi quickly held it down and whispered to comfort him.

The big black dog didn't know what was going on, but with Gu Chi by his side, he was not so panicked all of a sudden. He gritted his teeth and didn't move.

It was not until the sky was beginning to brighten that the aura of death on them was finally completely wiped out.

Huiming walked out of the Buddhist temple with one man and one dog. At this time, their ship was still sailing forward alone in the vast ocean.

"This is really strange, Lao Hei, we clearly found land, right? How come we are inexplicably back to the sea?"

Gu Chi rubbed his head, unable to figure out what was going on.

The big black dog was also confused. It remembered very clearly that it and Gu Chi had been flying at full speed over the sea for seven days while riding the Cuo Yuqie before they saw the shadow of land. During that time, Gu Chi's magic power was exhausted and he relied on it to transfer magic power to keep going.

"However, the truth is, you have never left Green Lantern Ghost Island. From the moment you set foot on the island, everything you have experienced is merely an illusion. If we happened to pass by, you would be unknowingly corroded and refined into a pool of blood in this virtual illusion."

Huiming pointed out the truth in one sentence, which made the person and the dog realize it belatedly and feel horrified. If Huiming and the others had not come to the rescue, she and the big black dog would probably have died inexplicably by now.

Thinking of this, both the man and the dog were still frightened. Gu Chi pulled the big black dog to kowtow to Huiming to thank him for saving his life.

Huiming reached out to stop him, a smile on his fair face, and said, "Master Gu, do you really not recognize me?"

Hearing this, Gu Chi stared at the face from left to right, and felt that the man's features looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

The big black dog, however, had a keen nose and had already identified Huiming's scent. He reminded her, "Sister Gu Chi, this is the little monk who came to our coffin shop to buy a coffin to bury the Thousand Blades Demon Lord."

"Oh! So you are the little monk from that year? You have grown up so big in the blink of an eye?" Gu Chi was surprised to find that this person's features were indeed the same as those of the handsome little monk from the past.

Huiming smiled and said, "If you embark on the path of cultivation before adulthood, your appearance will only be finalized after adulthood, so there will be some changes. But Mr. Gu, it's been almost thirty years since we last parted in the Qiwei Mountains. Which sect are you cultivating in now?"

He could sense that Gu Chi and the big black dog were both at the seventh level of Qi training, so he was surprised that Gu Chi's appearance had not changed at all in the past thirty years.

"After we separated years ago, Lao Hei and I sought out small sects to become their disciples in order to avoid being hunted down by the Lin family's cultivators. With Lao Hei and my qualifications, even the more powerful sects couldn't take us seriously." Gu Chi scratched his head and smiled.

She did not mention the Heming Sect. After all, it was she and Lao Hei who sneaked into the secret realm of Beiyin Mountain this time, so it was better not to regard herself as a disciple of the Heming Sect.

"By the way, after we parted last time, did Erlangzi successfully join the Linglong Sect? How have you been these years? Did he come with us when the Beiyin Mountain Secret Realm opened this time?" Gu Chi turned the topic to Erlangzi.

Huiming said, "That child's aptitude and talent are both excellent. Less than a year after joining Linglong Sect, he was noticed by a Grand Elder and accepted as his last disciple. He has now reached the ninth level of Qi training and is about to complete his foundation building."

After a pause, he continued, "As for whether he followed the opening of the Beiyin Mountain Secret Realm this time, I don't know, but I think his master will send him here to gain some experience."

The word "experience" made Gu Chi feel a little uncomfortable. Before entering the secret realm of Beiyin Mountain, everyone in their Heming Sect was determined to die. However, in the mouths of the disciples of these big sects, this place became a place of experience to hone themselves.
