"咻咻咻·····"
Guo Huai flicked his wrist, and five tungsten stones suddenly shot out. The five late-stage foundation-building monks surrounding them were all killed instantly.
"Why are they all dead?"
Haiyan looked at the five corpses lying on the ground in disbelief.
Turning around, she saw Guo Huai standing not far from them. The shock on her face turned into surprise. She said happily: "Guo Huai, did you save us?"
"It's just a little effort, why are you being surrounded and killed by these people?"
Guo Huai walked over and asked.
"Alas! You don't know, this group of people specializes in robbery!"
Haiyan looked sad, her round face wrinkled into an orange, and she said helplessly: "These people specialize in killing people and stealing goods on weak water, and it was our misfortune that we accidentally encountered them! In recent years, for some reason, they have committed more and more robberies. "
As the leader of the team, Xiaoshank wiped the blood from his face, limped forward and said respectfully: "Thank you, Senior Guo, for the rescue. Without your help, we might have died this time."
Guo Huai waved his hand and comforted: "This is also our fate. I happened to be walking this way, so you are welcome. I see that you are all injured, so you should go back to recover as soon as possible!"
Haiyan hesitated for a moment, then decisively asked: "Guo Huai, are you looking for something here? We, Boss Xiao, have been living here for more than 20 years and are very familiar with the tens of thousands of miles of nearby waters. What do you mean? Come out and maybe we can provide some useful information."
Guo Huai thought for the same reason. He had made an empiricist error before, thinking that they were low-level monks and could not help him.
"To be honest, my wife was seriously injured and needs a cold Yin spirit water in the weak water as an alchemy material, so she came here to look for it."
Guo Huai simply told the truth.
Xiaoshank thought for a moment and said, "Is this Yin Ling Han Shui related to the Cold Water Snake? The name sounds very similar."
Guo Huai nodded, "I also think it is related. If we can find the lair or settlement of the cold water snake, we may be able to find some clues."
"Maybe I know a place that may be a gathering place for cold water snakes!"
Shawshank said in a less firm tone.
Guo Huai's eyes flashed with anticipation and asked: "Where?"
"Just eight thousand miles south along the river bank from here, there is an extremely wide river surface. Seven years ago, I saw hundreds of cold water snakes jumping out of the water there. Where is the gathering place of cold water snakes? I think it’s the most likely location within tens of thousands of miles away.”
Guo Huai walked over excitedly, put his arm around Xiaoshank's shoulders and said, "You have helped me a lot. If I really find Yinling Hanshui, I will thank you very much!"
"But there is no river beach there, and the water surface is extremely wide. You can only watch from a distance, and there is not even a place to stay."
Seeing how excited Guo Huai was, Xiaoshank quickly reminded him.
Guo Huai said confidently: "I only need to know the location, you don't have to worry about the rest!"
Seeing how confident Guo Huai was, Haiyan couldn't help but ask: "Guo Huai, is your cultivation level higher than that of a monk at the Golden Core Stage?"
"Hahaha, I am the leader of Yuqing Sect, a branch of Yuqing Palace, now?"
Guo Huai paused and said calmly: "The cultivation of the late Nascent Soul."
"Wow, that's amazing! He's actually a Nascent Soul cultivator!"
Haiyan covered her mouth excitedly.
The other five people were also extremely shocked. They all stared at Guo Huai with wide eyes, as if he had flowers growing on him, trying to figure out why.
They couldn't imagine that the member of the team who fished with them six years ago turned out to be a hidden boss in the Nascent Soul stage.
"Guo Huai, where is your Yuqing Sect? Do you think we can join?"
Haiyan was the most courageous and lively, and he dared to tease Guo Huai.
Guo Huai didn't take it seriously either. He said eloquently: "Tiaozhi City is at the western end of the Yuqing Palace territory, and our Yuqing Sect is at the eastern end of the Yuqing Palace territory. The distance between the two places is hundreds of millions of miles."
"If you can find the Yuqing Sect, I welcome you to join with both hands."
After Xiaoshank and others heard this, they all felt that this was too far. It would take many years and months to fly all the way.
With their strength in the foundation-building stage, they might not be able to fly that far even if their life span is exhausted.
Guo Huai raised his hand and threw a sign to them, "This is the high-level token of our Yuqing Sect. If you have something to do or really want to join, just take the token and report my name!"
"Guo Huai is my real name!"
"It's getting late, so I'll hurry up and find the Yinling Spring! The mountains are high and the roads are far away. We'll meet again in the future."
After saying goodbye to everyone, Guo Huai walked away with a long stride. In a breath, Guo Huai had disappeared from their sight.
Everyone looked at the token in Shawshank's hand and hesitated for a moment.
After a while, Lu Ming was the first to speak: "Brother Xiao, there have been more and more robbers in Ruoshui in recent years. As casual cultivators, our situation is really precarious. I don't want to waste it like this anymore."
"I have both gold and water spiritual roots. If I can enter a large sect and rely on the sect's resources, I can hope to form pills in the future. Otherwise, when can I buy a dust-falling pill?"
Xiaoshank looked at the expressions of the other members, and they were all filled with the desire to join a large sect. The worst among them also had three spiritual roots. If there were sufficient resources, it was possible for them to form pills.
It's just that they missed the opportunity to join the sect due to various reasons.
Xiaoshank took a deep breath and made a decisive decision, "Then let's give it a try. With our friendship with Guo Huai, the Yuqing Sect will not treat us badly."
After everyone agreed, they took the shuttle to Tiaozhi City, sold all their valuables, and finally collected more than five million low-grade spiritual stones.
Nearly two million of these were Shawshank's savings, and he also emptied his family fortune for his brothers.
Just to teleport from Tiaozhi City to Yuqing Palace, the cost for each person was 500,000 spirit stones. Six people spent 3 million spirit stones to teleport to Yuqing Palace.
When they arrived at Yuqing Palace, they learned that Penang, the closest place to Yuqing Sect, still needed 500,000 spiritual stones each, and they only had more than 2.2 million spiritual stones left in their bodies.
With no choice but to work near Yuqing Palace for three years, they were able to collect the transmission fee of three hundred spirit stones. When they finally arrived at Yuqing Sect, it was already five years later.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The wind blew under Guo Huai's feet, and in a moment he arrived at the place where Shawshank had mentioned. The water here was indeed wider. Guo Huai looked up and estimated that the width of the river alone was tens of thousands of miles.
Guo Huai, who is now a master of arts, is bold and leaps into the weak water one after another.
It can't be said that it was jumping. It should be said that after jumping up, it was sucked into the water by the weak water.
When he first entered the water, the powerful water pressure rushed towards Guo Huai like a mountain, but now that he has mastered the marrow training, his physical strength is comparable to the physical strength of a Mahayana monk.
The mere water pressure only made him feel a little uncomfortable, but the rest was nothing serious.
