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

"This...this..."

Facing Nian Chaoxi's questioning, Elder Chen looked at the sect leader Guan Xuelan who was sitting in the main seat, then lowered his head to the ground, stammering and unable to speak.

"what happened?"

"What are you looking at me doing?"

"Although Gu Xiu is a useless person, he is still a direct disciple. Are you guys cutting into his salary?"

Guan Xuelan frowned and asked, feeling a little unbelievable.

Elder Chen immediately fell to his knees in fear, shouting, "I will never deduct anything from you. Even if I had the intention, I would never dare to do so. Please understand, Sect Master!"

"Then tell me, why is Gu Xiu's monthly salary so low?" Guan Xuelan pressed.

"This one……"

"Say!"

"It was...it was decided by you, Sect Master..." Elder Chen stammered.

These words made Guan Xuelan shudder all over, and Nian Chaoxi next to her frowned instantly.

"What nonsense! When...when..." Guan Xuelan was furious and wanted to refute, but as she kept refutating, she suddenly became speechless.

She was a cultivator in the Mahayana stage and had already reached the level of photographic memory. She didn't remember it before, but now she has been reminded by Elder Chen.

She vaguely remembered something and suddenly couldn't continue.

But the damned Elder Chen said at this moment in order to prove his innocence:

"Two years ago, Uncle Gu was punished by you, the Sect Master, by having his salary cut in half because he damaged a spirit stone..."

"Even if the salary is reduced by half, how can it be only ten spirit stones?" Nian Chaoxi frowned.

"Well..." Elder Chen looked at Guan Xuelan again, hesitated and said:

"Three years ago, Master Gu had just returned to the sect. The deacons didn't recognize him. They saw him cleaning the sect hall every day, and he had no cultivation."

"So, he was assigned as a menial disciple. The monthly salary for menial disciples was twenty spirit stones, which was halved to ten spirit stones."

"Such a big thing, won't you ask?" Nian Chaoxi gritted his teeth.

"I've asked... I've asked..." Elder Chen glanced at Guan Xuelan again and whispered:

"At the time, I asked the Sect Master about this matter. Seventh-Martial Uncle Lu Qingyao was also there. She said that that Uncle Gu was just a menial disciple. At the time... At the time, the Sect Master was standing by and didn't refute him, so... so..."

what?

Nian Chaoxi was immediately furious. After glancing at Guan Xuelan, he glared at Elder Chen, "What happened after that? After three years, don't you know Gu Xiu's identity?"

"Of course I know this, but... but once the sect salary is determined, any change requires the order of the sect master. At that time, the sect master... the sect master..."

"Go on!" Nian Chaoxi urged.

"The Sect Master said at the time that Senior Brother Gu was just a useless person, so there was no need to waste too many spirit stones. Just make it about right, and there was no need to change anything."

What? ? ?

Nian Chaoxi couldn't help it this time, and his eyes were cold when he looked at his master.

"This deity..."

"I thought he was being paid the salary of an ordinary inner disciple. How...how could I have known that he was being treated as a menial disciple?"

Guan Xuelan's eyes were a little evasive. After thinking for a moment, she defended herself and said, "Besides, Gu Xiu is just a useless person with no cultivation. He has everything he needs for daily expenses in the sect. It's useless for him to ask for spirit stones."

This statement is indeed reasonable and well-founded.

only……

"He is your direct disciple!"

"Although he is a direct disciple and has lost all his cultivation, his monthly salary is not even as good as that of a menial disciple!"

"Although daily expenses in Qingxuan Holy Land do not require Spirit Stones, that is only for daily expenses. If you need other things, even medicine for an illness, you will need to spend Spirit Stones or barter with other disciples to buy them!"

"Master, you won't refute this, right?"

Nian Chaoxi questioned every word.

My heart had already turned cold, and I felt extremely sad.

She knew it.

She actually knew it all along.

Gu Xiu is not welcome in Qingxuan Holy Land, and his master and fellow apprentice sisters don't treat him well either.

But she really didn't expect it.

This is how Gu Xiu spent his days in the sect!

He is a direct disciple, but he is not as good as a menial disciple!

"Why does he only have ten spirit stones every month, and he can still change?" Nian Chaoxi suddenly remembered what Elder Liu said just now.

Gu Xiu’s monthly spirit stones can be even lower!

"This..." Elder Liu hesitated again.

"Don't ask, I did it." Guan Xuelan admitted it at this moment:

"Gu Xiu is reckless and often makes mistakes, so I will often punish him by reducing his monthly salary by half."

At this moment, Nian Chaoxi felt a chilling chill: "He is your personal disciple, the one you personally brought up!"

"I...I am usually busy, how could I care about such a small matter?" Guan Xuelan felt a little unnatural and then said:

"Besides, he's just a mortal. If he doesn't seek enjoyment, spirit stones are useless. What does he need them for?"

"What's more, when he just returned to the sect, a lot of resources were spent on his treatment. Those spirit stones were quite a lot!"

"Well..." Elder Chen hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "Actually, the amount of spirit stones Uncle Gu consumed to heal his injuries was only a thousand at most..."

“What???” Nian Chaoxi was stunned.

Guan Xuelan frowned even more: "Nonsense, how is it possible, I was..."

"Sect Master, you personally treated Master Gu at that time, but later, seeing that he had no chance of cultivating, you gave up on him. You did instruct him to use medicinal herbs to nourish him."

"but……"

"But Junior-Master Jiang Xun was at a critical juncture in his breakthrough, and many of his resources overlapped with those used by Junior-Master Gu."

"Third Uncle Xu Wanqing specifically sought out Uncle Gu to discuss this matter. I don't know what they said, but since then, Uncle Gu has stopped asking for any more medicine or stones."

"actually……"

"Actually, the number of thousands of spirit stones is probably too high..."

this moment.

Nian Chaoxi was still standing in the sect's main hall, but he felt a biting cold.

It made her back feel cold.

Then came anger!

"Master!"

"Gu Xiu... He is your direct disciple and a hero of the sect!"

"you……"

"You treat this way, aren't you really afraid that the sect's disciples will be disheartened?"

Guan Xuelan was naturally dissatisfied with being questioned by her own disciple, and said coldly:

"Talking about this again?"

"Gu Xiu is just a useless person with no cultivation, and his injuries are irreversible. Doesn't it just show that he has self-awareness by not wasting the sect's resources?"

"The fact that the sect can shelter him and provide him with a place to stay is something that others can only dream of."

Nian Chaoxi was stunned, gritted his teeth and asked:

"So what about the fact that he's a sect hero?"

"Five hundred years ago, Junior Brother Gu ventured into the forbidden area, but he did it for the sect, for the sect's blessings!"

"Fuyuan? Can you explain clearly whether the Fuyuan you are talking about exists or not?" Guan Xuelan frowned.

"Of course it exists. Ever since Gu Xiu entered the forbidden area, blessings have continuously flowed into the sect. The sect has flourished since then, which is the best proof. Master, don't you admit it yet?"

"I actually feel that this matter has nothing to do with the so-called blessing source."

"Master!" Nian Chaoxi was completely stunned: "Don't you even trust me, your disciple?"

"Chao Xi, your words naturally belong to me. You have divined the future of the sect more than once. However, the matter of Fu Yuan is too far-fetched, and to this day, no one can prove it..."

The so-called source of blessing.

It has always been something extremely mysterious.

Even Mahayana cultivators are still unable to confirm what the so-called source of blessings is, and no one can explain how this source of blessings comes and goes.

Seeing that Guan Xuelan still doubted Fuyuan's theory until now, Nian Chaoxi felt speechless. After hesitating for a moment, he said:

"Master, I cannot convince you whether Fuyuan exists or not."

"But I want to remind you."

"Just when Junior Brother Gu left Qingxuan Holy Land, the blessings that Qingxuan Holy Land had accumulated for five hundred years had already begun to dissipate!"

She didn't dare say this before because it was a secret that could not be revealed.

But now, in order to wake up her master, she couldn't care less.

only……

Guan Xuelan obviously didn't take it seriously, but said:

"Since you said this blessing source has dissipated, why not take a closer look at what will happen to the Qingxuan Holy Land after this blessing source dissipates? I also want to see what this so-called blessing source is."

"Master, blessings last forever and can accumulate fortune for the sect day by day. But if the blessings dissipate, the sect will suffer disasters one after another. You can't joke about this!" Nian Chaoxi reminded.

"I shouldn't have allowed you to practice Tianji back then." Guan Xuelan didn't take Nian Chaoxi's earnest advice to heart, but shook her head.

"You need to know."

"Cultivators are always going against the will of heaven, relying entirely on so-called blessings. Ultimately, they are like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water."

"You have to believe that man can conquer nature!"

Guan Xuelan said this with full confidence.

Thinking about it every day, I feel hesitant to speak.

But finally.

She still shook her head: "Disciple, I'll take my leave."

She understood that her master was completely unwilling to listen to her and it was futile to continue arguing with her.

He left the sect hall in a daze.

Take a look at the sky.

The blessing is still dissipating rapidly. At this rate, it won’t be long before the blessing of the past five hundred years will completely disappear.

Can……

What should I do next?

"Big sister, how are you?"

"Big Sister, I heard that you had a fight with Master. Are you okay?"

"Gu Xiu is such a despicable person. Even after he left, he still caused discord within our Qingxuan Holy Land. How come such a person doesn't receive divine punishment?"

"Yeah, that damn Gu Xiu!"

"..."

At this moment, several junior sisters came over.

The warmth that had just emerged in Nian Chaoxi's heart, after hearing these curses against Gu Xiu, felt only a chill to the bone:

"Junior sister, you guys..."

"When did you become so hostile towards Gu Xiu?"

This made everyone stunned, but then they didn't take it seriously:

"Gu Xiu is inherently hateful. Is it wrong to be hostile to him?"

"Five hundred years ago we were simply too naive."

"That's right, Senior Sister, you didn't see the sinister side of Gu Xiu."

A group of junior sisters were talking at once, and in their words, Gu Xiu had become an extremely evil villain.

Nian Chaoxi was in a trance after listening to it.

I already understand it in my heart.

The master and his junior sisters were too prejudiced against Gu Xiu. If he wanted to convince the master, he had to first find a way to convince his junior sisters, or at least make them understand.

Gu Xiu, you’re not as bad as they say!

only……

How can I prove it?

……

While Nian Chaoxi was thinking about how to rename Gu Zheng next, an extremely subtle spiritual power fluctuation suddenly flashed in the uninhabited restricted area of ​​Tianqi Mountains, but disappeared again in an instant.

Inside the cave, Gu Xiu opened his eyes with a look of surprise in them.

Breakthrough!

After spending a full month, he finally successfully broke through to the third level of Qi Refining!

To be honest, if we only look at the speed of breaking through the third level of Qi Refining, Gu Xiu's speed is not that fast.

But in fact.

This is simply because Gu Xiu's Dantian Qi Sea is too vast, which results in the low level of improvement.

But in fact, the spiritual power accumulated in Gu Xiu's Dantian Qi Sea at this moment is not even weaker than that of a cultivator in the seventh level of Qi Refining in the late Qi Refining period!

Look at it from this perspective.

Gu Xiu's cultivation speed is already extremely fast!

but.

Gu Xiu was not overly excited about this. After all, he had easily reached the third level of Qi Refining before, so this little improvement was nothing to cheer about.

There was only one person that really mattered to him.

His green bamboo pole is ready to be used!
