Chapter 118 Saintess of Southern Xinjiang
In the next room, Shangguan Yu, who was meditating, suddenly felt a palpitation. He opened his eyes, looked towards the next room, and murmured, "Is this, the opening of the wisdom treasure? Why do I feel this way--"

She remembered her master saying that everyone uses different spiritual objects to open the divine treasure, and because of differences in their own physiques and personalities, sometimes the abilities they gain are also different.

When she first opened the treasure house of wisdom, she gained the ability to distinguish between good and evil and the truth in people's hearts.

Most of the other junior brothers only gained some kind of wisdom.

However, when "Abin" next door opened the secret treasure this time, it gave her a very different feeling.

"Could it be that he got the Bodhi seed?"

Shangguan Yu thought to himself, according to legend, the Buddhist Bodhi seed is the best spiritual object to unlock the treasure of wisdom, but only one Bodhi seed grows every fifty years, so it is extremely precious.

Only Buddhists are qualified to use Bodhi seeds.

In other words, those who can use Bodhi seeds to open the treasure of wisdom are the children of Buddha.

"Buddha's son?"

She closed her eyes again and continued to practice without distraction.

……

When everything calmed down, Gu Mingchuan opened his eyes and saw the things in front of him. He felt completely different, as if he had new insights in his heart for no reason at all times.

For example--

He lightly drew a line in the air with his finger, and a mysterious sword intent spread out in the air. It was one of the Thousand Illusions Sword Techniques.

On the panel, in the martial arts column, the proficiency of Qianhuan Sword Technique is increasing rapidly.

His mind seemed to have communicated with a certain sea of ​​collective unconsciousness. New insights flashed through his mind, and the sword moves in his hand became more and more mysterious.

After more than ten minutes, the proficiency of the Qianhuan Sword Technique on the panel had reached the maximum, from proficient to mastered.

Gu Mingchuan then stopped and looked at his hands, feeling somewhat shocked.

“Isn’t this the ultimate enlightenment?”

If he wanted to, by spending some time, he could even improve his proficiency in the Thousand Illusions Sword Technique to the highest level.

At that time, you will be able to communicate with the power of heaven and earth and be comparable to the top four masters on the Grandmaster List, such as Shangguan Yu and Chu Zhi.

"However, with the ninth level of Shenzang's cultivation, forcibly using the power of heaven and earth is not a good thing."

Gu Mingchuan could deduce that forcibly using overloaded moves would likely damage the foundation.

……

In the next few days, Gu Mingchuan visited local tyrants everywhere to inquire about Ruan Qingqing and the old woman. Later, he found out that five days ago, the old woman took Ruan Qingqing away from Beicheng and disappeared.

"Wanzhou is a vast place with few people. Where can we find out Ruan Qingqing's whereabouts?"

Gu Mingchuan was a little worried. He glanced at Shangguan Yu beside him and suddenly had an idea. He thought of Chu Zhi. The intelligence network of Ping An Escort Agency was so powerful that he could ask her for help.

"I hope she won't be trapped in the secret realm of Lingshan."

At that time, when everyone was running desperately outside, Chu Zhi rushed into Leiyin Temple instead. No one knew what she wanted to do.

Gu Mingchuan asked Shangguan Yu, "Miss Shangguan, are you familiar with Chu Zhi?"

When Shangguan Yu heard the name, his expression changed slightly, and he said calmly, "I've met him twice."

"Do you know where I can find her?"

"I don't know."

"Aren't you allies? Join forces this time to deal with the Black Bull Village."

Shangguan Shu said, "I will not join forces with someone like her."

Someone like her?

Gu Mingchuan immediately became interested, "What kind of person is she?"

Beautiful girls fighting with each other is the most enjoyable thing to see.

Shangguan Yu glanced at him, as if seeing through his intentions, and stopped talking.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Gu Mingchuan had no choice but to change the subject, "I wonder what the outcome of the battle at Black Bull Village was."

Shangguan Yu also did not answer, she didn't know either.

……

When Gu Mingchuan returned to the inn, he heard people inside talking loudly about the battle at Hei Niu Village.

He couldn't help but prick up his ears and listen.

"Have you heard? Something big happened. A few days ago, the Demon Suppression Division, the Heavenly Dao League, and the Tiger Guards jointly attacked the Black Bull Village."

"I heard about it, but I didn't expect that the Black Bull Village, which had stood firm in Wanzhou for decades, would disappear just like that."

"Isn't it said that Black Bull Village has a forbidden martial arts area? Even the immortals on land are afraid to approach."

"It is said that a Buddhist disciple entered the secret realm and absorbed the original power of the secret realm, causing it to collapse."

"Buddhist disciples? Is the Buddhist sect going to stir up trouble again? This world is really going to be in chaos."

"I've heard about it too. The Buddhist disciple seems to be called Abin."

……

When Gu Mingchuan heard this, his face darkened.

That Shi Asan was so ungentlemanly that he even revealed such a thing. Now, he became completely famous.

It seems that there is no way to avoid taking responsibility for this cause and effect.

Fortunately, his vest did not fall off. At most, he will switch to another vest later.

The prerequisite is to get rid of Shangguan Yu.

Gu Mingchuan continued to listen to their discussion while thinking.

"…What was the outcome of the battle at Black Bull Village?"

"What else can we do? The Black Bull Village was wiped out. Although Shi Asan defeated Long Shangyun, he was suppressed by a land immortal. The rest of the people were either killed or escaped. Anyway, the Black Bull Village was wiped out."

"I heard that a mysterious strong man rescued many people from the Black Bull Village."

"They must be from Xizhu Country. They have been eyeing Wanzhou covetously and will never sit idly by and watch the Black Bull Village being eliminated..."

……

Gu Mingchuan listened for a while and roughly understood the outcome of the battle.

Shi Asan was suppressed, and the land immortals mentioned by these people were mostly strong people in the Fate Palace realm.

Only a strong person at the Fate Palace Realm could possibly suppress Shi Asan, the third strongest person on the Heavenly Ranking.

I don’t know whether Yu Huaiyi escaped, as well as Qi Junhao and Qi Wu. I hope they are okay.

He has some friendship with these three people.

After lunch, Gu Mingchuan left Wanzhou City directly.

If you don’t leave now, the Tiandao League will come knocking on your door.

Shangguan Yu is more reasonable, but that doesn't mean other people in the Tiandao League are the same.

The Tiandao League is the largest sect in the world today. It publishes the Heavenly Ranking and the Grandmaster Ranking, stirring up the world. It issues wanted orders and regards itself as acting on behalf of heaven.

For people in the martial arts world, the biggest label of the Tiandao League is its domineering behavior.

When the strong man from the Dharma Image Realm of the Tiandao Alliance arrives, he will have to hand over the Shenxiao Sword.

Of course he's going to run away.

……

Gu Mingchuan left Wanzhou City, and Shangguan Yu still followed him.

A day later, the two returned to Orchid Villa again.

He came to find Chu Zhi.

This time, he flew directly into the villa and landed in the backyard. Still in the pavilion, Chu Zhi, wearing a red cloak, was looking at a piece of paper.

She was not at all surprised by the appearance of Gu Mingchuan and Shangguan Yu. She raised her head and smiled slightly, "We meet again."

Gu Mingchuan saw that her face was pale, without a trace of blood, but he could also see a sword intent in her body, and this sword intent had a familiar feeling.

"Are you injured?"

Chu Zhi subconsciously covered her chest with her hands and glared at him, "If you keep looking at me, I'll dig out your eyes."

Gu Mingchuan felt a little aggrieved, "I don't have X-ray vision, I can only see your true essence and the sword intent in your body—"

"You still said that!"

Gu Mingchuan coughed lightly and immediately changed the subject, "Is there no need to introduce this person?"

Chu Zhi raised her eyebrows, and her attention was diverted. She said, "Of course, who doesn't know this exiled immortal from the Heavenly Dao League? She is as cold as ice, with a beautiful body and a natural beauty. In the capital, countless noble sons have fallen at her feet."

"But I didn't expect that Fairy Shangguan, who had always been rude to any man, would actually fall in love with a man and live and eat with him. They were inseparable, just like a pair of immortal lovers."

Gu Mingchuan didn't expect that she would be so weird. These two women probably had some conflict before.

He glanced at Shangguan Yu and saw that she was looking into the distance with a cold look on her face, as if she was disdainful of explaining.

Gu Mingchuan took the initiative to explain, "Miss Chu, you misunderstood. Miss Shangguan and I just met by chance. The rumors about eating and living together are pure rumors."

Chu Zhi smiled and said, "Of course I believe what you said. However, I'm afraid the rumors about you have already spread to the capital. I don't know how many princes and nobles will be sad about this."

Gu Mingchuan got down to business. "Well, actually, I came to you this time because I want to ask for something."

"Just say it."

"I would like to ask you to help me find out Ruan Qingqing's whereabouts."

Chu Zhi smiled and said, "What a coincidence. I just happened to get some news about her. A few days ago, she was taken away from Wanzhou City by an old woman and is now heading to Southern Xinjiang."

Gu Mingchuan did not ask her why she wanted to know about Ruan Qingqing, but asked in confusion, "Southern Xinjiang?"

Didn’t they say that the old woman spoke with a Shendu accent?
Chu Zhi explained, "Although Buddhism originated in the Far West, it spread rapidly after it was introduced to Southern Xinjiang, gaining countless believers. Among them, the one who made the greatest contribution was the Bodhisattva Pudu."

"At that time, there was an ancient demon god in Southern Xinjiang wreaking havoc and killing countless lives. In the end, it was Pudu Bodhisattva who suppressed him with his body and saved countless lives. The people of Southern Xinjiang all regarded him as the savior."

"That old woman was originally from Southern Xinjiang. Later, by chance, she married into the Wei Dynasty. She became a member of the Demon Suppression Division and a subordinate of Long Shangyun. This time, she accidentally discovered Ruan Qingqing, a member of the Guanyin tribe, and she left everything behind to take her back to Southern Xinjiang. In the beliefs of the people of Southern Xinjiang, the Guanyin tribe is the saint of Southern Xinjiang."

Gu Mingchuan felt a bit overwhelmed after hearing this. This South Xinjiang dungeon seemed to be difficult to clear.

However, since the people of Southern Xinjiang regard Ruan Qingqing as a saint, she should not be in any danger for the time being.

He said, "Thank you Miss Chu for telling me."

Chu Zhi said, "Actually, I also want you to help me with something."

Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world.

Gu Mingchuan said, "Miss Chu, just tell me. I will do my best to help you as long as I can."

Chu Zhi said, "I want you to go somewhere with me."
