Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1744: Chapter 885: Resolute Attitude

He looked at the seemingly innocent and naive little disciple before him, thoughts racing through his mind.

”Mixed Element Spirit Body... truly astounding comprehension! I initially accepted her as my disciple because her unique constitution could help me translate ancient Secret Techniques. Now it seems I’ve found a real uncut gem! I must change my cultivation strategy!”

A grander yet riskier plan began to take shape in his heart. ”If she follows the regular path, in the Yellow Martial, Earth Martial, and Heavenly Martial Realm, respectively forging other Dao Bodies, given her second Sea of Consciousness and its compatibility with the God-breaking Dao Rhyme, those other Dao Bodies will inevitably fail to match it in strength. Forcing a fusion would likely trigger terrifying backlash, leading to destruction upon entering the Heavenly Martial Realm!”

”There are only two roads to take... First, let her deeply immerse herself in the Yellow Martial Realm, building her foundation over time. When it’s deep enough, she can soar to the Heavens, directly impacting the Heavenly Martial Realm, then forge the complete and balanced four top-tier Dao Bodies all at once!”

”Second... is to find the legendary rare treasures that can assist in Fusion Dao and balance Daoist Rhythm! However, such treasures are hard to come by...”

Gu Yuanyuan saw her master remaining silent for a long while, his expression changing, and her heart grew more anxious. She asked softly.

”Master... did I do something wrong? Are... are you going to punish me?”

Gu Sheng came to his senses, looking at the little disciple’s uneasy appearance, his tone softened, and he gently patted her head.

”Silly girl, you did nothing wrong. On the contrary, you have given your master a huge surprise. What I was pondering was not punishment, but how to ensure your exceptional talent is not wasted and does not go astray.”

Gu Yuanyuan let out a sigh of relief, her face blossoming into a smile once more.

Gu Sheng no longer hesitated, immediately using soul transmission to call out a name.

Almost at the moment his transmission ended, the space in the corner of the hall subtly twisted, and an elderly man dressed in a simple gray robe, with gray hair, a kind face, but eyes deep as the ocean of stars, silently appeared as if out of thin air. It was Elder Xia Wuyou, the Stabilizing Needle of Linyin Pavilion, a Seventh Transformation Venerable Realm expert.

”Gu, you called me here, for what reason?”

Xia Wuyou asked with a smile, his gaze casually sweeping over Gu Yuanyuan sitting on the cushion.

Gu Sheng spoke directly.

”Elder Xia, I need to go out of the city shortly, to Phoenix Town for a meeting with Xiao Beixuan. I’d like to ask Elder Xia to secretly accompany me, just to press the formation, unless necessary, do not intervene. Also,” he pointed at Gu Yuanyuan.

”Please take my disciple along so she can observe this battle from a safe distance.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Wuyou’s seemingly murky old eyes fell on Gu Yuanyuan once again, carefully examining her, and for the first time his face showed a hint of surprise, he stroked his beard and said with a smile.

”Tsk tsk, this little girl... intriguing.

I find it hard to see through her? Yellow Martial Realm cultivation, and yet somehow makes me feel extraordinary... Haha, indeed, anyone who catches your eye, Gu, is no ordinary being, just like you, a little prodigy. Very well, I accept this matter and will ensure your precious disciple’s safety.”

”Thank you, Elder Xia.”

Gu Sheng cupped his hands, then flipped his hand to produce a Jade Bottle. Inside the bottle floated a drop of crimson gold, exuding vast Life Essence Qi and terrifying Energy Fluctuation—precisely the Life Essence Blood of the Golden-winged Roc!

He handed the Jade Bottle to Xia Wuyou.

”Elder Xia, thank you for your assistance in the Southern Border, intercepting those who might pursue. I dislike owing favors, so take this as a token of thanks.”

Upon seeing the Essence Blood, Xia Wuyou’s pupils slightly contracted. With his vision, he naturally felt the immense power contained within! He waved his hand, declining.

”You’re too polite, Gu. As a Linyin Pavilion offered elder, it’s part of my duty, how could I accept such a heavy gift?”

But Gu Sheng insisted.

”This item would be useful to me, but to Elder Xia, it might extend your lifespan by several decades. Please accept it.

All I ask is for Elder Xia today, if other Venerable Realm experts disregard decency and try to intervene, please block them briefly to buy me time.”

Upon hearing ”extend lifespan by several decades,” Xia Wuyou’s placid heart couldn’t help but ripple. For an expert of his age, longevity is the most precious thing.

Seeing Gu Sheng’s determined attitude and that tempting Essence Blood, he finally smiled wryly, reaching out to take it.

”Alright, since you insist on giving it, I’ll shamelessly accept. Rest assured, today unless a Heavenly King Realm monster personally intervenes, no one will be able to disturb your confrontation with Xiao Beixuan.”

Gu Sheng looked at Xia Wuyou with deep meaning, nodded, and said no more.

Gu Yuanyuan obediently stood beside Xia Wuyou, her little face full of excitement and anticipation.

Just then, faint footsteps echoed from the underground passage. Tantai Xueling came out, rubbing her still sleepy eyes, dressed in a plain white dress, like a snow lotus blooming in morning mist.

”About to depart?”

She looked at Gu Sheng, her voice carrying the laziness of just waking up.

”Yes, leaving soon.”

Gu Sheng nodded solemnly.

”Xueli, my father, I entrust him to you.”

Tantai Xueling’s expression turned serious, her cold eyes regaining clarity, her tone full of absolute confidence.

”Rest assured.

As long as he is within Linyin Pavilion, unless four or five Venerable Realm experts join forces to attack, no one can harm him in the slightest. Our Linyin Pavilion has stood in the East Desolation for many years, and this is our foundation.”

Gu Sheng had no doubt about Tantai Xueling’s ability, he thought for a moment, and continued.
