Chapter 674: Desert Interlude
"Opportunity" is something that always attracts practitioners from all walks of life like honey attracting mosquitoes.
Even in the Xiaoxuantian Realm, it seems that this cannot be avoided.
After all, everyone needs to practice and become stronger. Of course, he also wants to become stronger quickly. He is not even an immortal now. In this world with immortals, although it is not to the point where he can't take a single step, he is at least a little humble as dust.
That damn Ancient Yun Immortal Venerable issued a bounty for him, and Gu Heng was in constant fear for several days, fearing that someone was planning to capture him on the way to claim the reward.
This was supposed to be a leisurely travel time, but suddenly it wasn't leisurely anymore.
"…Forget it, I won't watch it."
Gu Heng looked at the ancient sand palace in front of him and dismissed the idea in his mind.
originally.
He was also interested in getting involved.
But now is not the time to do this. At least we have to find Bai Feier and the others first. According to the news, they are even a little famous, which would make them even more dangerous if they become famous.
If they were to be brought to the Muxian Demon Kingdom, at least Mu Qingyu could help protect them.
Whatever is here, just ignore it for now.
Gu Heng continued to move forward. The Sand Palace was across his path and it looked like some people had already started to go inside.
When he passed by, he could even see quite a few practitioners fighting each other, as if they wanted to eliminate some potential competitors before going in.
If there was no rush, Gu Heng would be willing to watch these people get their brains beaten out.
Moreover, there were already many corpses of practitioners on the roadside, most of which were covered by wind and sand. It seemed that this sand palace had appeared for quite some time.
After fighting for so long, there is still no winner.
"Brother, don't you want to go in and take a look?"
Sudden.
A voice came from the side.
Gu Heng turned around and saw a young man sitting on a pile of sand. He looked disheveled and seemed to have been through a battle.
"…Not interested."
He silently glanced at the guy with his omniscient perspective. His name was Wu Zhu. He posed no threat and had no information about his identity. This meant that he had no background and no talent. He was just a small fry.
Judging from his appearance, he definitely lost the fight and can only stand on the side of the road as a loser, licking his wounds.
Gu Heng walked straight forward, ignoring the little character named Wu Zhu.
"Hey hey hey, wait a minute, brother!"
When Wu Zhu saw that Gu Heng was about to leave, he didn't care about anything else and just stood up and walked in front of Gu Heng. But after this action, a goose feather knife with a cold glow was placed across Wu Zhu's neck.
The chill made his forehead instantly covered with cold sweat, and Gu Heng's eyes were so cold that they could make Wu Zhu's back stiff.
"Be careful, I'm thinking about killing you."
Gu Heng said indifferently: "Get out of the way."
"Don't...brother!"Wu Zhu swallowed his saliva, raised his hands, and said with a pitiful face: "I just want to ask you for a healing pill, nothing else!"
Gu Heng raised his eyebrows.
Damn, I have met beggars in my life, but I have never met this type of beggar. He is so shameless and has such a big heart.
It was him. If it were anyone else, they would probably take advantage of his illness to kill him and rob him on the spot!
Can't you see that there are already a lot of corpses nearby? If this young man Wu Zhu is not careful, he will soon join the yellow sand and dry bones.
But no matter how kind-hearted Gu Heng was, he had no time to deal with this guy.
"No."
Gu Heng shook his head and refused: "Get away and don't block my way."
Wu Zhu suddenly showed a sad expression and sighed: "Brother, look at how miserable I am, and you actually left without giving me a penny? Don't you feel guilty..."
Heartache?
He is not some greenhorn, worldly-wise kid, nor does he have a heart of gold. Why should he care about this kind of person on the street?
Gu Heng was too lazy to pay attention to him, turned around and continued walking forward, but the next moment, he stopped again.
Because Wu Zhu's next sentence made him interested.
"I can trade you the information about this Desert Python Mysterious Immortal Ruins!"
"oh?"
Gu Heng finally looked at Wu Zhu straight in the eye: "Information about Desert Python Immortal?"
"Yes, it is said that this desert was once occupied by a mysterious immortal long ago. He built this palace before his death. Inside it are many resources and treasures he left behind that can help ordinary practitioners easily ascend to immortality!"
Wu Zhu seemed really anxious. He rubbed his palms anxiously and blurted out all the words.
"Brother, you look like a mortal cultivator, and you don't seem like a young master from a wealthy family. You need the immortality pill in this ruins, right?"
"Keep one and keep it well. When you reach the Supreme Saint stage, this pill will be the key!"
After hearing these words, Gu Heng was indeed moved.
He had heard of the Immortality Pill since he came to the Xiaoxuantian Realm.
It is said that this is a precious elixir that can allow a cultivator at the Saint level to step into the Immortal level in one step!
But... he wasn't too excited.
To be honest, with the system, he has hardly ever doubted the possibility of ascending to heaven. He does not need any elixir to do this. Although taking an elixir of immortality can probably speed up the process, if he doesn't take it, sooner or later the system will allow him to ascend to heaven.
Besides, if he really wanted it, he could ask the little fox lady to bring him one when he was in Muyue City. She is a princess and has shown great favor to him. A large tribe like the Nine-tailed Sky Fox with an immortal master would not be short of the Immortal Pill.
Therefore, it is hard to say what significance Wu Zhu's information has.
Gu Heng didn't have to give the pills at all. Wu Zhu was going to reveal all the information on his own anyway, and he hadn't agreed to this "deal" yet.
only.
When I saw Wu Zhu seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Gu Heng's expression changed slightly, and then he took out a pill he had made, just like the one he gave to Mu Qingyu when he saved her life, and tossed it in his hand for fun."Brother?" Wu Zhu's eyes were wide open, and his gaze followed the trajectory of the pill's up and down motion, and his Adam's apple was swallowing uncontrollably.
"Say what you didn't say, and the pill will be yours."
Gu Heng said with a smile.
"…"
Wu Zhu was stunned.
"Why, you haven't finished talking about this so-called 'information' yet?"
Seeing his hesitation, Gu Heng knew that Wu Zhu must have something else to say.
"Brother, I originally wanted to keep this to myself, because this is a rumor about the Desert Python Immortal, and no one knows whether it is true or not."
Wu Zhu hesitated for a long time, but finally said it.
"It is said that the tribe of the Desert Python Xuanxian was a large tribe with an Immortal Emperor-level ancestor during the Five Realms War, but unfortunately there were heavy casualties in the war… The Desert Python Xuanxian was originally the most talented genius of the Desert Python tribe, but in the end it also suffered an incurable injury, so it is difficult for it to make any progress in its cultivation, and it will be a Xuanxian for the rest of its life."
"The entire Desert Python tribe was destroyed, and the Immortal Emperor's heritage is gone. The Desert Python Xuanxian can't return to the Immortal Realm, so he can only escape to this small Xuantian Realm to survive."
"But it is said, it is said that Desert Python Immortal Xuanxian has a treasure passed down to him by Desert Python Immortal Emperor!"
"It seems that the treasure was taken from a certain Demon Realm Demon Emperor by the Desert Python Immortal Emperor during the Five Realms War, but that's where the rumors end."
Wu Zhu talked a lot again.
Gu Heng was stunned by what he said.
The greatest treasure?
Return the treasure to the Immortal Emperor?
Interesting. Gu Heng has memorized the book. The difference between a Xuanxian and an Xiandi is of unknown orders of magnitude. How can a mere Xuanxian have the Xiandi's treasure?
It sounds like he is just a small shrimp in the Qi Refining Stage, possessing a treasure that only a monk in the Supreme Saint Stage can possess.
It doesn't feel very reliable.
"Of course, I said it was just a rumor, and no one ever took it seriously."
Wu Zhu shrugged. Seeing Gu Heng's face full of suspicion, he knew that what he said was indeed too fake.
If there really is a treasure of the Immortal Emperor.
It is estimated that it is impossible for only a large group of ordinary practitioners to come to rob this Sand Palace, but even the Thirteen Immortals will come to rob it!
Since the big guys didn't move.
This shows that the rumor was treated as a joke.
"Here, I'll only give you one."
Seeing that the other party was so open about his knowledge, Gu Heng threw the pill to him. Wu Zhu quickly caught it and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you for your kindness, brother. If we meet again in the future, I will definitely repay you for your kindness!"
"No, I don't expect you to pay me back."
Anyway, it's just a pill, Gu Heng can easily make a handful of it. Besides, looking at the guy's appearance, he can't even afford the healing medicine. Does he look like he can repay a favor?Anyway, the deal has been made. As for whether Wu Zhu will take the pill and leave obediently, or continue to fight for some opportunity, it has nothing to do with him.
"…"
Gu Heng glanced at the sand palace.
The omniscient perspective swept across the group of guys fighting outside the hall, looking at them one by one, and found that none of them posed a threat.
"Forget it, let's go and take a look, just in case there really is something there."
He walked over holding the goose-feather knife.
Wu Zhu looked at his back and sighed.
He boasted to his family that he would come to this place alone, but he ended up eating up all the medicinal pills he could bring with him, and didn't even enter the palace, and returned home in failure!
As a result, I now have to ask a stranger for help for healing pills. I have really lost all my face.
Among the six brothers of the Wu family, only he, the third oldest, has not yet ascended to heaven.
Even the three younger brothers behind him surpassed him.
"Alas, maybe this is my talent..."
Wu Zhu's face was quite depressed, but his will had been completely worn out. He decided to go home honestly and wait to be ridiculed by his brothers.
It is better to live a miserable life than to die. If he really loses his life here, I am afraid the whole family will regard him as a laughing stock and directly expel him!
He swallowed the pill.
"Hmm!"
result.
The medicinal power of this pill is so huge that Wu Zhu can hardly imagine it!
He was horrified. Shouldn't this be an ordinary healing pill? !
how so?!
Fortunately, the medicinal power did not burst his mortal body, but instantly repaired all his injuries. The remaining huge medicinal power actually lingered in his body, becoming a dragon shuttling between his veins...
Isn't the power of this healing pill too terrifying?
Wu Zhu became thoughtful and inserted his palm directly into his abdomen. The pain made his face change.
But after pulling out his hand, he saw the wound on his abdomen heal instantly, and there was still a lot of medicinal power flowing through his body...
"…Brother!"
Wu Zhu subconsciously raised his head and started shouting.
But the young man who had just given him the elixir was already quite far away from him. He casually killed a person who blocked his way, and then walked into the Sand Palace with a swagger.
Don't care about that.
Wu Zhu gritted his teeth and started to chase after him.
