I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

Defending Huayang Country from a magic disaster?

Gu Yuan felt a stir in his heart.

This arrangement is reasonable; Huayang Country is under the control of the Daoist School, paying tribute annually, and now facing the threat of a Demonic Golden Core, it is only right to protect them.

Otherwise, wouldn’t everyone under the Daoist School’s rule panic? Wouldn’t they lose people’s support?

However, deciding who to send is another matter.

Although that demonic cultivator just entered the Golden Core stage, to achieve it amidst the fierce Celestial Tribulation, he must have some means.

Who knows if it’s not going to be a fierce battle?

With the previous incident involving the Vast Sea Sect, Master Yanghua and the others have no time to spare. Currently, I am indeed the most suitable candidate within the Daoist School.

After all, the three Golden Core cultivators of the Vast Sea Sect are already well-known, and the situation there must be even more severe.

But as Master Yanghua mentioned, a Golden Core’s intervention cannot be cheap.

After all, this matter was requested from Master Yanghua.

Gu Yuan had his own considerations but did not speak.

Some things, once spoken, lose their advantage, making it seem calculating.

Fortunately, everyone present was keenly perceptive.

Given Gu Yuan’s status and age, no one dared to underestimate him.

Master Yanghua felt an impulse to use this opportunity to close the gap with Gu Yuan, to make up for the previous incident with the Eight Rivers Demon Race.

With this thought, he smiled and said, ”Junior Brother Gu, this matter was originally brought to me by a member of the Zhou Family and should be handled by me. To bother you to intervene is truly a last resort.”

”I have a piece of Tier Four Spirit Ore, named Geng Metal Stone. This stone’s Golden Yi Qi is extremely pure. If Junior Brother uses the Sword Pill to absorb it, it will not only strengthen the Sword Pill to a perfect state but also store up the Golden Yi power for an extremely powerful sword strike of great majesty.”

”Willing to gift it to Junior Brother, hoping your Sword Dao cultivation advances further!”

Tier Four Spirit Ore?

Gu Yuan looked at Master Yanghua in astonishment.

Tier Four Spirit Ore is a precious ore born from Tier Four Spiritual Veins, used as spiritual material for forging artifacts and Spirit Pills in the Daoist Embryo Realm, worth a fortune.

In the entire Daoist School, only the Cyan Heaven Secret Realm has a Tier Four Spiritual Vein, considered the exclusive cultivation site of True Person Yunyang.

Ordinary Golden Core cultivators, if they want to obtain Tier Four items, either rely on Daoist Embryos’ rewards or spend great effort to purchase them all over.

Exchanging this item for a Golden Core intervention is more than sufficient.

Why is Master Yanghua suddenly being so generous?

”With turbulent times approaching, Junior Brother’s progress in cultivation is a blessing for the Daoist School. A mere piece of Tier Four Spirit Ore is nothing worth mentioning.”

Feeling Gu Yuan’s surprise, Master Yanghua chuckled and said.

With turbulent times ahead, past grudges should be forgiven, hoping to support each other in the future and guard each other.

Gu Yuan immediately understood Master Yanghua’s underlying message.

This piece of Tier Four Spirit Ore is both compensation for his intervention and an apology for the previous slight discord.

Among the Golden Cores of the Daoist School, unless like Gu Yuan and Sword Fox Immortal, deeply bonded Senior Sister and Junior Brother, others base their attitudes heavily on interests.

During discussions, one would choose whichever decision is most advantageous to themselves.

The prior involvement in the Eight Rivers Demon Race was merely due to the benefits promised by the Su Family, prompting them to intervene.

Now, with the rampant demonic methods, alliances are needed. Naturally, Master Yanghua does not wish to offend Gu Yuan.

”Senior Brother Zhou is too courteous. We enjoy the tributes, so naturally, we must also defend the land.”

Gu Yuan smiled broadly, and with a slight movement of his sleeve, the golden ore floating in front of Master Yanghua turned into a stream of light and fell into his sleeve.

This action by Master Yanghua made Master Yanming and Master of Mount Jing slightly embarrassed.

After a slight hesitation, Master of Mount Jing slightly turned to Master Yanghua and Master Yanming and said, ”This journey of Junior Brother is considered as helping us extinguish the backfire of Vast Sea Sect and clearing our worries from the future. In my opinion, Junior Brother should also have a share in the treasures of Vast Sea Sect!”

Upon hearing this, before Master Yanming could speak, Master Yanghua’s brows furrowed slightly, cursing inwardly.

You sly Feng Tianming, seeking to build good relations without giving from your private stash, aiming instead at the treasure trove of Vast Sea Sect.

Sharing the treasures of Vast Sea Sect means he will have to share another benefit.

”Junior Brother Feng’s words are very appropriate. Indeed, Junior Brother Gu should have a share. Once we acquire the treasures, we can let Junior Brother Gu select one or two items.”

Master Yanming didn’t hesitate much, directly agreed.

Hearing this, Master Yanghua could only nod smilingly, ”Then, let’s proceed with this plan.”

Faced with such opportunities, Gu Yuan naturally had no objections.

The few of them then discussed some details, finalizing the arrangements.

After the discussion, they each returned to their abode to make some preparations before setting off.

...

...

However, Gu Yuan did not directly return to Purple Sun Peak but went to the Celestial Treasure Hall.

This hall is the place where various treasures and wonderous items are stored within the Daoist School, not under the dominion of any Golden Core. Anyone wishing to exchange treasures must do so using merit points.

Merit points are earned through tasks taken up at the Fate Hall.

However, things are never absolute, as times change, so do the rules.

Some items in the Celestial Treasure Hall are hard to exchange for, even with merit points.

But for a Golden Core approaching, they can exchange treasures even without merit points.

Gu Yuan, with his Escape Light, quickly arrived at a grand hall.

This hall, unlike ordinary ones, appeared ancient rather than magnificent. The pillars were simple, the plaque was square, and before the hall doors stood a bronze incense burner, though without smoke, rendering it silent and tranquil.

Above the incense burner was a lampstand, with a flame the size of a grain of rice, flickering and unsteady.
