I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

"Brother Chen, don't worry. I've already arranged for several pretty girls this time. They'll be sent to your room later. To be favored by you is a blessing earned by ordinary people like us in our past lives."

"But now...should we go report first?"

Seeing that Gu Xiu didn't leave, the disciple reminded him cautiously.

Gu Xiu glanced at him and finally nodded. He was the first to cross the formation and walk into the Jueling Valley.

have to say.

Jueling Valley has picturesque scenery with clear water and green mountains.

The most special thing is that the entire valley is divided into dozens of areas of different sizes, among which the largest areas are occupied by various medicinal herb fields.

One can still vaguely see many disciples wearing the clothes of Jueling Valley busy planting various spiritual plants in the fields.

The air is filled with fairy air, which is fascinating.

“Is this where the gods live?”

"That's great! I can join the Immortal Sect and become an Immortal in the future. When I succeed in my cultivation, I will go back and support my parents. I will teach those bad guys in the city not to bully them!"

"I've asked the immortals, and they say that if you join the immortal sect, you can achieve immortality, and there are also various elixirs. As long as you practice hard and listen to the sect, you can even obtain the elixir that can cure my mother."

"Become an immortal, stand out from the crowd, and never be bullied again!"

"..."

The voices of a group of young people reached Gu Xiu's ears.

Full of innocence.

It also reveals a yearning for the future.

They bid farewell to their parents, left their hometown, and joined the immortal sect, hoping to achieve something for themselves.

However, when they were extremely excited and talking about their dreams with each other, the eyes of several disciples responsible for escorting them flashed with sarcasm and mockery.

They were laughing.

Laugh at the ignorance of these ants, laugh at these dying people who are like sheep walking into the tiger's mouth without knowing it.

Gu Xiu didn't say a word from beginning to end. He just asked the disciple to lead the way, then followed the team quietly, his eyes searching around.

Just a pity.

Jueling Valley is very large, and except for a few areas, most areas are restricted, making it impossible to directly spy on them.

He did try to get the word out.

only……

These are all outer disciples, and they don't know as much as Gu Xiu. It is obviously not easy to expect them to find out anything.

Not long after.

Everyone arrived at their destination.

A group of young people were divided into their own halls on the spot. Although they were called halls, they were actually just different spiritual medicine fields. Even those who had spiritual roots and some potential were not treated differently.

There is no shortage of people in Jueling Valley.

Having spiritual roots does not mean everything. They need to go to various spiritual medicine fields first to learn the rules of Jueling Valley. If they can accept the rules and survive, they may be able to save their lives and become one of Jueling Valley.

As for the rest...

What awaits them is only endless hard labor, and they will give everything here, whether it is sweat or blood.

this life.

Never step out of Jueling Valley again.

After the group of boys and girls were divided up, Gu Xiu's mission was completed. As an inner disciple of Jueling Valley, he was mainly responsible for recruiting outer disciples, so he had quite a bit of freedom in Jueling Valley.

After taking a look at the group of young men, Gu Xiu turned and left. He was going to start searching for the whereabouts of the Tantai clan.

However, not long after he left, a voice called out to him:

"come here!"

Gu Xiu turned his head and saw at a glance that the person who called him was a female cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage. However, she was not wearing the disciple uniform of Jueling Valley like the others, but an ordinary plain dress.

Moreover, Gu Xiu could feel it.

The martial arts that this person is practicing is the Qingxuan martial arts!

"Do you know the art of spiritual planting?" the female cultivator asked coldly.

Seeing Gu Xiu nod, the female cultivator said indifferently: "Then come with me. If you help well, it will be your chance."

Gu Xiu was looking for someone this time, so naturally he wouldn't refuse.

Following this female cultivator throughout the Awakening Spirit Valley, he noticed that this female cultivator held an exceptional status within the valley. No matter who met her, she had to bow respectfully. And her attitude towards others...

They could be said to be condescending, as if it was an honor for them to say even one more word to the disciples of Jueling Valley.

"There are Qingxuan disciples in the valley. Although they are all wearing casual clothes, their status is higher than that of the disciples of Jueling Valley. It seems that there should always be Qingxuan disciples living here." Gu Xiu speculated secretly.

Halfway through, Gu Xiu found an opportunity, put down the Sword of Crossing Immortals, and then left behind the little black monkey and several puppets.

This Jueling Valley is not small.

It would not be like looking for a needle in a haystack for him to find the location of the Tantai clan by himself, but it would definitely not be easy. With the help of the little black monkey and the Duxian Sword, it should be easier.

In fact, Gu Xiu was still planning to put down the Xiaoyao Pei.

However, Xiaoyaopei was unwilling to leave. According to it, its goal was to protect its master. This place was dangerous and unpredictable, and it had to stay with its master to protect him in times of crisis.

"arrive."

Not long after walking, the female cultivator stopped. Gu Xiu looked forward and saw that in front of him was a residential area that was obviously different from the residential area of ​​other disciples of Jueling Valley. It was full of independent houses of various sizes.

Feel it a little bit.

Gu Xiu discovered that there were almost no empty courtyards here. There was aura flowing in every courtyard, and the lowest level was the foundation-building stage, and there were also several stronger ones among them.

"I need to cultivate medicinal pills next. You will use the spiritual plant technique and cast a spell with all your strength to help me give birth to the spiritual plants in the yard." The female cultivator pushed open the gate, walked into the yard with Gu Xiu, and explained Gu Xiu's task.

Gu Xiu originally wanted to refuse, but after observing the courtyard, he suddenly changed his mind:

"it is good!"

He carefully observed the residential area. It was in an excellent location, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

And there are quite a few large formations.

Among them, the defensive magic array and the combined attack magic array are the main ones, which means that the people living here are the core of the Jueling Valley.

However, this was not what attracted Gu Xiu's attention. What really attracted his attention was...

There is also a self-destructing magic circle hidden here!

It is clear.

Xu Wanqing really attached great importance to this place and sent her disciples to garrison here personally.

But the same thing.

In order to avoid accidents that might implicate himself, the self-destructing magic circle here will also destroy all connections between Xu Wanqing and this place, making it difficult to track her.

"Xu Wanqing is indeed a kind-hearted person. She is a considerate person."

"But this formation is still not good enough. I will be a good person today and help you modify it."

Gu Xiu murmured, having already made a decision in his heart.

……

While Gu Xiu quietly sneaked into the Jueling Valley and even went to the Qingxuan disciple resettlement area where ordinary disciples could not go, at this moment, in the main hall of the Jueling Valley sect not far from Gu Xiu.

But there are still people who are wary of him.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, all the restrictions in the valley have been lifted, and the sentries outside the valley have all been deployed in place. Not even a fly can break through the formation and enter the valley silently."

"At the same time, the valley's security has been raised to the highest level, and all the experts in the valley are ready, waiting for the two-day deadline to arrive."

"Besides that, the information we've spread is very successful. Many cities are discussing us, and we've created quite a buzz. We've also been able to conceal our presence from other factions. Currently, even though all the major sects have sent spies to investigate, they're destined to find nothing..."

In the main seat of the hall, a pale-faced man was silently listening to his subordinates' reports. He was clearly in poor health, and while listening, he would occasionally cough into the silk handkerchief in his hand.

There were faint traces of blood.

But even so, he still listened to his subordinates' reports very carefully, not wanting to miss any details.

Occasionally, he would ask for something.

but.

In this atmosphere, there was one person who behaved completely differently.

That was a stunningly beautiful woman.

She was sitting in the first seat at the bottom, drinking tea at the moment. The most special thing was the clothes she was wearing. They were the clothes directly taught by Qingxuan Yudanfeng. Between her eyebrows, there was the same compassion as that of Doctor Xu.

but.

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his compassionate eyes, and he frowned and looked impatient from time to time.

Waited for a while.

Seeing that the sickly person in the position of the Sect Master was still discussing the defense matters in the valley in detail, the direct disciple of Yudan Peak finally couldn't help but interrupt:

"Master Yi, is that almost enough?"

"He's just a useless person who has lost all his cultivation. It's not certain whether he has the courage to come here. Why waste time on such vigilance?"

These words startled the disciple who was reporting the situation, who looked up at his own sect leader.

"You go down first."

The sickly man in the main seat waved his hand. After the disciple left, he looked at the disciple directly taught by Yudan Peak and said with a faint smile:

"Fairy Xiuyun, remember the principle of being vigilant even when in peace. Although Gu Xiu has lost all his cultivation, the fact that he was able to get Master Xu Feng to explain it personally proves that this matter is the most important one at the moment. It is necessary to be more cautious."

These two people.

One of them is the leader of Jueling Valley and his soulmate.

The other person is Xu Xiuyun, the adopted daughter of Xu Wanqing, who is from Yudan Peak in the Qingxuan Holy Land.

Jueling Valley is extremely important to Xu Wanqing.

Of the two people in front of him, one had received favor from Xu Wanqing and was willing to be Xu Wanqing's pawn to sit in Jueling Valley, while the other was the one who was raised by her since childhood.

These two people.

He is Xu Wanqing's true and trustworthy confidant.

However, Xu Xiuyun disagreed with Yi Zhiyin's words: "It's right to be cautious, but aren't you being too picky?"

"If being picky can guarantee absolute safety, then being picky is justified." Yi Zhiyin said with a smile.

"But he's just a useless piece of shit with no cultivation."

"Whether or not he's trash doesn't matter, but since it's Master Xu Feng who has spoken personally, we should be extremely vigilant."

"You are such a pedantic person!" Xu Xiuyun frowned.

Yi Zhiyin smiled instead and was not angry. He seemed to want to say something, but suddenly he started coughing violently, forcing him to hold the silk handkerchief to his mouth.

A moment later, as a blood-red plum blossom bloomed on the silk, Yi Zhiyin finally calmed down a little.

"Master Yi, your injury seems to be getting worse."

"It's okay, it's not a problem." Yi Zhiyin said with a smile.

Xu Xiuyun frowned, "I hope what you said is okay. I really mean it. It doesn't matter whether you live or die. But if it delays Master's important matter, then I will be truly blamed!"

"I have sworn to repay the kindness of Dr. Xu with my own life. Since I have made this oath, I will not break it. Even if it means death, I will not delay."

This time, Xu Xiuyun did not refute.

After knowing each other for so many years, she also knows the kind of person this righteous soulmate is.

The doctor who saved my life is so grateful to me, and I repay my kindness to my friend with great gratitude.

This is the origin of the name.

It is also the character of a righteous person.

This person had been blessed and saved by his master, and since then he had promised to go through fire and water to repay the favor. From then on, no matter what happened, he would carry it out without hesitation, and he was considered a loyal sword.

Only just...

This person is too serious about doing things and often likes to make sure everything is flawless.

Sometimes this is a good thing.

but now……

"Master Yi, you should know that compared to that useless uncle-master, the most important things to our master are only the Tantai clan and the Blood Land Spirit Fruit!"

"This is Master's century-long plan. There can be no room for error."

"Instead of pouring all that energy into that useless person, it would be better to send more people to feed the blood land and ripen the fruits as quickly as possible."

"The latest batch of people have all been sent to the Blood Land." Yi Zhiyin said.

Xu Xiuyun is dissatisfied:

"They are just a bunch of mortals who are almost dying of exhaustion or illness. It's still far from enough. Once that useless uncle-master dies and the Tantai clan's Taixu wax is boiled out, Master will come in person."

"By that time, if Master finds out that the Blood Land Spiritual Medicine is not ready yet, he will definitely be disappointed."

Xu Xiuyun's words made Yi Zhiyin frown: "Then according to Fairy Xiuyun's intention..."

But Xu Xiuyun looked at Yi Zhiyin deeply:

"I think this disciple from Jueling Valley..."

"It's been a bit too much lately."

"..."
