37: News about Liuli Xianjing, auction

Gu Liangyuan's face lit up with joy: "Is there news about the lapis lazuli immortal crystal?"

Song Rentou nodded excitedly:

"I spent a fortune to have a Senior Brother from Tianji Peak calculate it for me, and the direction points directly east."

"So I followed this clue to search, and sure enough, I found out that at the end of this month, the Gathering Treasure Pavilion's You City branch will hold an auction."

"Although the specific auction list hasn't been leaked, the highlight is a High Grade Spirit Treasure, and it's said that many Great Vehicle Cultivators are moving at the news."

"I thought, at such a large auction, there should be the appearance of lapis lazuli immortal crystal. Perhaps, there might even be Xuanhuang Qi."

Gu Liangyuan heard this and lightly slapped his forehead:

"I forgot to ask someone from Tianji Peak to divine a hexagram earlier."

Saying that, he waved his hand, and a Heavenly Rank Magical Artifact floated in front of Song Rentou:

"You handled this matter well. This is your reward."

Song Rentou looked at the Heavenly Rank Magical Artifact, his grin almost reaching his ears:

"Thank you, Junior Martial Uncle, for the reward."

Gu Liangyuan patted Song Rentou's shoulder: "Work hard for me in the future, and you won't be shortchanged."

"Later, tell Elder Wang to select more Disciples himself. Before I return, make sure the Inner Sect Disciples reach fifty."

"Understood, Junior Martial Uncle, just wait and see."

After Song Rentou left, Song Xianer blinked her large, watery eyes: "Master, what is a lapis lazuli immortal crystal? Why does it sound so familiar?"

Gu Liangyuan smiled slightly: "You possess the Glass Immortal Body, but it has never been activated. The condition for its activation is the lapis lazuli immortal crystal."

Song Xianer knew that Gu Liangyuan had been inquiring about the lapis lazuli immortal crystal for some time.

From bits and pieces of information, she also guessed that this lapis lazuli immortal crystal was extremely precious.

She also saw that Gu Liangyuan was very invested in this.

But she didn't expect that Gu Liangyuan was doing it for her.

Although she had no concept of the Glass Immortal Body, it didn't prevent her from being moved by this.

Master had thought of everything for her.

From childhood to adulthood, she seemed to have never met anyone who was so good to her.

She looked at Gu Liangyuan, whose face was like a jade crown, and a strange emotion suddenly arose in her heart.

Gu Liangyuan had no other thoughts. Counting on his fingers, there was less than half a month until the auction began.

And You City was a full eight hundred thousand li away from here; he needed to prepare quickly.

As for how to travel…

Of course, it would be the double dragon jade carriage!

He had just acquired such a magnificent mount; how could he not take it out for a spin!

As for teleportation arrays, not even dogs would use them!

Over the next two days, Gu Liangyuan began a frenzy of returning items to his Disciples, then taking the returned Magic Treasures out to convert them into cash, causing his wealth to grow wildly.

It wasn't until Gu Liangyuan's wealth reached two million Top-Grade Spirit Stones that the System suddenly produced a 0.1x return, instantly startling Gu Liangyuan, who quickly stopped this behavior.

If this were to happen a few times consecutively at 0.1x, his assets would plummet in value.

After using it for such a long time, he had roughly figured out the System's rules.

Except when he first took on Disciples, the chance of high-multiplier returns would increase.

The fewer things he normally bestowed, the higher the return multiplier seemed to be.

Conversely, the more things he bestowed, the lower the return multiplier.

Gu Liangyuan secretly lamented, deciding that he couldn't just give out random rewards anymore. He would try to give out fewer, only bestowing high-quality items.

Carrying two million in massive wealth, Gu Liangyuan also greeted Lü Qingmei and borrowed two old monsters who were his peers.

Lü Qingmei was somewhat speechless about Gu Liangyuan's act of borrowing Grand Elders.

Since Gu Liangyuan reached Nascent Soul, he had left the sect twice, and each time he left, he had to call upon Grand Elders.

She had originally worried that Gu Liangyuan, having comprehended the Dao and instantly reaching Nascent Soul, would become arrogant.

Now it seemed that Gu Liangyuan's cautiousness exceeded her imagination!

As for his three Disciples, Gu Liangyuan originally only wanted to take Song Xianer, but then he thought that this was also a good opportunity to keep Mo Chen away from Liu Shuang for a period, so he could properly Cultivate the Forget Love Sutra.

Then… if he took two of the three Disciples, what would it mean to leave one behind?

This was also a good opportunity to let Qianqiu see the world.

So, he took them all.

On this day, the sun shone brightly, and there were no clouds for thousands of miles!

A gentle breeze blew, sweeping across the Supreme Seven Peaks, and the rustling leaves created a very pleasant atmosphere.

Within the Seven Peaks, Elders and Disciples came and went constantly.

Some youths in white robes, with Sword Qi swirling around them, flew on their swords.

Some drunken old men rode gourds backward, swiftly passing through the air.

Riding Dragon-Elephants, driving Immortal Cranes, some sang wildly as they traveled, others gracefully unfurled their sleeves.

A scene of a grand immortal sect, with auspicious omens!

Just then, two high-pitched Dragon roars emanated from Forget-Love Peak.

Everyone's movements paused in unison, and they looked up to see two white Dragons, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, soaring into the sky one after another from Forget-Love Peak!

Wind from the tiger, clouds from the Dragon!

Wherever the white Dragons went, clouds instantly formed!

Amidst the vast white clouds, behind the two white Dragons, a carriage made of white jade was faintly visible.

The carriage was decorated with mysterious patterns, shimmering with light and emanating Immortal Qi.

Amidst everyone's exclamations, the two white Dragons suddenly straightened their bodies, and with the sound of a sonic boom from their tail swings, they transformed into streaks of light and rushed forward, disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

It was not until long after the streaks of light disappeared that an Elder finally recovered:

"My goodness, if this old man isn't mistaken, this is a flying Spirit Treasure!"

Someone chimed in: "And its Rank is not low. Judging by its momentum, it's much stronger than our Sect Master's Phoenix carriage."

"I knew Senior Grand-Uncle was never stingy when rewarding his Disciples. I used to think he saved up by being frugal, but now it seems Forget-Love Peak truly has treasures!"

"What you said, thousands of years ago, Forget-Love Peak was at least our Supreme First Peak. Even if it suffered a calamity, it must have had some family fortune."

"When Song Rentou was transferred there, I was still gloating, thinking he wouldn't have much future development. Now it seems, the clown was me?"

"Hmm, exactly." The Elder next to him gave an affirmative answer.

Even the Elders reacted like this, and the Disciples below were even more astonished, with exclamations rising and falling.

Gu Liangyuan, inside the jade carriage, saw all of this and was satisfied.

This was the feeling, it was perfect.

Outside, due to the extreme speed of flight, the strong winds were fierce.

But inside the jade carriage, it was as stable as Mount Tai, not even a slight tremor was felt.

The two Grand Elders Gu Liangyuan borrowed sat opposite him, looking around, their eyes filled with envy:

"Junior Brother, I didn't expect that your Forget-Love Peak still had such a treasure. The previous Peak Masters truly hid it deep, not letting out a single word."

Clearly, they both thought this was a Spirit Treasure left behind by Forget-Love Peak from earlier years.

Gu Liangyuan was happy with this and said smoothly: "A lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Why don't you two Senior Brothers come to my Forget-Love Peak?"

"Whatever monthly salary Light Eyebrow gives you, I'll double it for you two!"

The two smiled and said nothing when they heard Gu Liangyuan's words.

Gu Liangyuan secretly thought it was a pity. If he could poach these two, his sense of security would definitely be maximized.

But no rush, since they've already been borrowed, they won't be able to escape sooner or later.

Return them?

I borrowed them by my own ability, why should I return them?

Did Liu Bei return Jingzhou?

Did the straw boats return the arrows?

Zhuge Liang didn't return the east wind he borrowed either!
