270: Put it out casually

The advisor of Tingfeng Hall said, "Of course, I don't mean his overall cultivation is at the Nascent Soul Stage; this Blood Fetus is equivalent to the Nascent Soul of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator."

"In other words, it's a rather unconventional Nascent Soul."

"If he can consolidate his original body, the River of Blood, then he would be an unconventional Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator."

"If he cannot consolidate his original body, then he can simply perform Possession on a Golden Core Stage Cultivator."

"In a short period of time, he would possess the combat power of the Nascent Soul Stage."

Gu Changan came to a sudden realization after hearing this.

The Lei Family Old Ancestor had actually found such an Opportunity!

So, without making a sound, the Lei Family had gained another combatant at the Nascent Soul Stage level?

However, he himself didn't seem to think much of it.

Would he go and perform Possession on a Blood Fetus?

Setting aside whether he could even do it, even if he did, so what?

Killing people everywhere to Cultivate in the future?

This was not the kind of immortal cultivation he wanted!

Gu Changan nodded. "I understand!"

He casually gave him a bottle of low-grade yuan solidifying pills as a reward.

The advisor of Tingfeng Hall quietly withdrew.

Once Gu Changan settled down, he thought about how there was nothing left to miss in the Treasure Pavilion's territory.

After having another hearty meal at Gourmet Hall...

Gu Changan embarked on his journey northward.

His disguise along the way was that of an ordinary Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator.

He was also traveling in a top-grade magical artifact flying boat.

He kept a low profile throughout the journey, heading straight north!

The further north he went, the more lush the trees became, though the shrubs were sparse and scattered.

The trees were indeed quite tall, and the distance between them was relatively large.

A few days later, from high in the air, Gu Changan suddenly discovered a massive basin to his right.

The center of the basin was a vast, level expanse. Could this be that plain?

To the left were continuous, rolling mountain ranges.

Gu Changan's current travel route was entirely along the edge of the mountains.

As for the Mortal kingdoms on the plain, Gu Changan was somewhat curious.

But it wasn't enough to make him stop his journey specifically to check them out!

Gu Changan sat quietly on the magical artifact flying boat.

The various Spiritual Artifacts in his Dantian were also somewhat restless, but they didn't dare disturb Gu Changan.

Just like that, a few more days passed, and the plain to the right was left behind.

Gu Changan felt he had reached the edge of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Looking inward from here, the mountains near the plain were mostly still lush and green.

But the further in one went, the deeper the color of the mountain vegetation became.

And the snow on the mountain peaks grew thicker and thicker.

Gu Changan judged that the further north he went, the lower the temperature here would likely become.

Occasionally, he could see one or two Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators traveling in groups.

They were treading on Flying Swords, flying out from the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Gu Changan was a bit confused; his Golden Core Stage Divine Sense began to shroud the nearby area.

He wanted to see if there were any cities or buildings.

Gu Changan had somewhat forgotten; he should have known to get a map of the Loose Cultivator Alliance in Tianbao City.

But in all probability, no one would have been selling one anyway!

As for assigning it as a task to Tingfeng Hall...

Wouldn't that be directly exposing himself?

In front of them, he maintained the persona of a high-level expert. Weren't the world's major powers places he could come and go as he pleased?

And now he was asking them for a map?

That would truly be a collapse of his persona.

Gu Changan could only bite the bullet and move forward, hoping for good luck to stumble upon a city.

As it happened, his Golden Core Stage Divine Sense swept over a valley.

Another Golden Core Stage Divine Sense came charging out to meet it.

"Impudent!"

"Are you looking for death?"

Then, a violent Golden Core Stage Divine Sense came crashing toward him.

Gu Changan was naturally not to be outdone; he was only using about one-tenth of his Golden Core Stage Divine Sense.

He hadn't encountered any Bandit Cultivators on this journey.

They hadn't given him a single chance to take action!

And now he had met a stubborn one here?

Gu Changan remained calm, dodging left and right to shake off the opponent's Golden Core Stage Divine Sense attack.

He controlled his top-grade magical artifact flying boat and flew into the opponent's valley.

A white-haired Golden Core Stage old man with a bald top but a small braid tied at the back of his head appeared.

He glared furiously. "Who allowed you to come here?"

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

He had also seen that Gu Changan had easily dodged his series of attacks just now.

This indicated that Gu Changan's strength was not inferior to his own.

His previously arrogant attitude softened slightly, though he was still putting on a show of strength.

Gu Changan wasn't going to indulge him. "I was just passing through; why did you attack me?"

The Golden Core Stage old man with the braid on his head lowered his head somewhat unwillingly.

But then he raised it again. "I thought an enemy had come to my door!"

"Since Fellow Daoist is unharmed, let's leave it at that!"

Gu Changan gave a cold laugh. "You've said your piece, but what about me?"

He simply waved his hand. "Little Black!"

A palm-sized small banner shot out from his Dantian.

It grew with the wind, expanding to the size of an umbrella.

It hovered above the Golden Core Stage old man's head.

The pressure of a Spirit Treasure began to suppress the Golden Core Stage old man.

Appearing along with it were four Golden Core Stage Ghost Generals, who collectively began to pull at the old man's soul.

The Golden Core Stage old man cried out in terror, "A Spirit Treasure?"

"And it's a thousand soul banner?"

While releasing his powerful Golden Core Stage Aura...

He also performed hand seals, casting a Golden Core Stage shield around his body.

He continuously poured spiritual power into the shield.

His left hand reached out, and a foot-long Golden Spike appeared.

Gu Changan observed through the Treasure Qi that it was a Golden Core Stage Magic Treasure.

The Golden Core Stage old man poured golden Qi into the spike.

It looked like he planned to deal with Gu Changan first.

By attacking the source to save himself, the Spirit Treasure thousand soul banner might return to protect its master.

He might then have a chance to take the Opportunity to flee!

Unfortunately, his calculations were wrong.

Gu Changan just stood there quietly watching.

His hands were folded, and there seemed to be something between the thumb and index finger of his right hand?

The two fingers were constantly rubbing back and forth, looking very leisurely.

The Golden Core Stage old man, however, was jumping with rage.

He couldn't even defeat a single Spirit Treasure thousand soul banner.

How had he been so muddled earlier to go looking for trouble with such a person from so far away?

He really was seeking death!

But then, who told him to pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger?

When he first saw him, he looked like he was at the Foundation Establishment Stage!

The result was self-evident; the Golden Core Stage old man was roughly at the Late Golden Core Stage.

His shield was also of roughly that strength.

But how could it withstand four Golden Core Stage Ghost Generals?

Plus the suppression of the Spirit Treasure thousand soul banner?

After holding out for a single breath, the four Golden Core Stage Ghost Generals shattered his shield.

They began to pull out his soul, and with the enhancement of the Spirit Treasure thousand soul banner...

It was easy to pull him into the thousand soul banner.

Gu Changan casually collected his corpse and then had the time to carefully examine the valley.

There was only a simple small log cabin in the valley, likely made from the nearby cedar trees.

Entering the log cabin, it was very sparse.

Just some simple furniture; it seemed he hadn't been lying.

He was most likely hiding from an enemy!
