Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1066: Chapter 557: The Elders’ Decision

That night, Gu Sheng knocked on the door of the Third Elder’s room.

The pounding sound startled the Third Elder inside, instinctively grabbing a weapon.

Hearing the noise, Gu Sheng quickly spoke up.

”Don’t panic, Third Elder, it’s me.”

”Gu Sheng?”

”Yes, it’s me.”

After Gu Sheng answered again, the door opened in response.

The Third Elder stood behind the door, looking at him excitedly.

”Gu Sheng, you finally came back! Come in quickly!”

A few people entered the door and sat directly at the table.

Seeing the Third Elder bustling around, Gu Sheng quickly stopped him.

”Third Elder, please don’t busy yourself. We’re back for a short time and have important matters to discuss.”

Hearing this, the Third Elder was taken aback.

”Gu Sheng, has something happened?”

”Something has happened, but it’s good news. I know it’s late and inconvenient to disturb the elders, but this is really important. Can you call the other elders to come over?”

Hearing Gu Sheng say this, the Third Elder immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. He didn’t think twice and nodded immediately.

”Okay, you guys have a cup of tea and rest for a bit. I’ll go get them.”

Having said that, the Third Elder put on his coat and walked out.

Finally able to rest, Shi Lou and the others picked up the tea cups and drank eagerly.

Seeing them like that, Gu Sheng was both amused and helpless.

”Why are you so thirsty?”

”Brother Sheng, we’ve been traveling for three days and nights, and the water we brought with us was long gone. Look at my lips; they’re so dry they’re about to crack!”

”Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

”You’ve been looking serious and rushed all the way, how dare I say anything? It’s only now that we’re home that I dare tell you.”

Knowing it was his fault, Gu Sheng said to them, ”Next time something like this happens, tell me promptly. I’m not going to eat you, what are you afraid of?”

”We were just...”

Before Shi Lou could finish, several elders came in hurriedly.

”Gu Sheng, the Third Elder said something happened. What happened?”

”Yes, what on earth happened? Is it serious?”

Seeing them more anxious than the next, Gu Sheng quickly stood up and said, ”Elders, don’t worry. Something has happened, but it’s good news. How about we sit down and talk slowly?”

Learning it was good news, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

”The Third Elder didn’t make it clear and just brought us here, making me nervous the whole way.”

”Yeah, I was preparing for the worst and didn’t expect it to be good news. He probably hasn’t fully woken up yet and is still muddleheaded.”

After some casual joking and sitting down, the Third Elder and Fifth Elder walked in together.

”Gu Sheng, everyone is here, you can speak now.”

After the Third Elder closed the door, Gu Sheng took out the Elixir Pills refined by Wushuang Taoist and handed them to them.

”Can you elders sense the aura from these Elixir Pills?”

Looking at the seemingly ordinary Elixir Pills, several elders were at a loss, but still reached out to sense them.

Upon sensing the aura on the Elixir Pills, everyone’s expression changed, seemingly not believing their own sensations, they intensified their Divine Power.

In just a moment, the entire Stone Village was filled with Divine Power, and Gu Sheng quickly summoned the small tripod to shield over the top, to avoid affecting others’ rest.

After a long while, everyone withdrew their hands and looked at him, barely able to believe.

”Gu Sheng, where did you get these from?”

”Elders, did you recognize the aura from whom it comes from?”

They looked at each other, and the Fifth Elder said with a trembling voice, ”If I didn’t sense it wrong, it’s from the Wushuang Taoist?”

Upon hearing his words, Gu Sheng nodded.

”That’s right, these Elixir Pills were personally refined by the Wushuang Taoist and given to me by him.”

As soon as Gu Sheng finished speaking, several elders suddenly stood up.

”Gu Sheng, did I hear wrong? You said these Elixir Pills came from Wushuang Taoist? You’ve seen the Wushuang Taoist?”

”Yes, you heard right. What I’m going to say next might be even more shocking, so I hope everyone listens carefully.”

After seeing them ready to listen attentively, Gu Sheng revealed the affairs regarding the Sky Blue Sect.

Although the elders had mentally prepared beforehand, they were still left open-mouthed upon hearing about the Sky Blue Sect.

Finally, Gu Sheng said to them, ”The Wushuang Taoist wants me to stay at the Sky Blue Sect as an emissary, and my only condition is to incorporate Stone Village into the Sky Blue Sect, and she agreed. Now it’s up to you elders.”

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, no one responded for a long time.

They seemed to be immobilized, sitting there dumbfounded, without any reaction.

Knowing that this wasn’t something they could digest immediately, Gu Sheng quietly sat aside, sipping tea, giving them plenty of time to consider.

Gu Sheng originally thought they’d have a decision once the tea was finished, but unexpectedly, he waited until dawn.

Shi Lou, Er Gou, and others were initially spirited, but as time went on, each started yawning.

When the rooster crowed outside, Gu Sheng sighed helplessly.

”Elders, you’ve thought the whole night, still without an answer?”

Upon his words, everyone finally came back to their senses.

The Fifth Elder looked at him and suddenly grabbed his hand and slapped it against his own face.

With a slap, Gu Sheng was startled and quickly withdrew his hand.

”Fifth Elder, what are you doing?”

”I wanted to know if I’m dreaming, whether it’s too late at night and I’m having a sweet dream? Now it’s dawn, I should wake up, right? Gu Sheng, that slap didn’t hurt enough, how about hitting me one more time?”
