Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1214: Chapter 631: A Precious Opportunity

The Tianlan Saint Mother looked at Gu Sheng’s pale face, her heart full of pity, and quickly said, "Child, you’ve worked hard. This is an exceptional Spirit Pill. Taking it will certainly help you quickly regain your Primordial Energy."

Saying this, she took a crystal-clear elixir pill from her sleeve. The pill emitted a rich fragrance that invigorated anyone who merely breathed it in.

Gu Sheng received the pill and gratefully said, "Thank you, Holy Mother."

He placed the pill in his mouth, and it melted instantly. A warm, powerful force spread within him, nourishing his damaged meridians and depleted Spiritual Power.

Gu Sheng did not immediately go into seclusion for recovery. His signing of the Heavenly Dao Marriage Certificate could lead to misunderstandings, especially with Luo Xi.

Luo Xi had known him for a long time, and their friendship ran deep. He didn’t want this matter to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Mustering his tired body, he left the Water Spirit Pavilion, heading toward where Luo Xi was.

Gu Sheng hurriedly entered the pavilion, searching everywhere, but the pavilion was empty, with no one in sight.

He muttered to himself, "Where are Luo Xi and Bixuan? This is strange."

He paced back and forth in the pavilion, pondering, a thought flashing through his mind: "Could they have gone to the Elder Hall?"

But then he shook his head. The Elder Hall always prohibited disciples from approaching. Luo Xi was always obedient, so she shouldn’t be there.

That Second Elder and Seventh Elder were always sneaky, probably plotting some conspiracy. If he were to rush there, he might end up in trouble.

Gu Sheng pondered for a moment, remembering Daoist Xiushan of the Book Collection Pavilion. Daoist Xiushan was knowledgeable and might know Luo Xi’s whereabouts. He then hesitated no longer, employing his movement technique and hurriedly heading to the Book Collection Pavilion.

The Book Collection Pavilion was located in a tranquil area of the Sect, surrounded by ancient trees, serene and peaceful. A light bookish scent pervaded the air inside, with rows of bookshelves filled with various secret manuals and tomes.

As Gu Sheng entered the Book Collection Pavilion, Daoist Xiushan was sitting at a table, engrossed in reading an ancient text. Xiushan wore a gray Daoist robe, his hair white, and a pair of reading glasses on his face, giving him a very kindly appearance.

"Senior Xiushan, sorry to disturb you," Gu Sheng said respectfully.

Daoist Xiushan looked up. Seeing it was Gu Sheng, a kind smile spread across his face: "Ah, it’s Gu Sheng. What brings you to this old man?"

Gu Sheng urgently asked, "Senior, do you know where Luo Xi and Bixuan have gone? I couldn’t find them at the Bilong Pavilion."

Daoist Xiushan adjusted his glasses, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I just saw Luo Xi and the Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch in the Heavenly Hall."

Gu Sheng was delighted to hear this and quickly said, "Thank you for letting me know, Senior. I will head to the Heavenly Hall right away."

Daoist Xiushan, observing Gu Sheng’s anxious demeanor, smiled slightly and said, "The Heavenly Hall is not so easy to enter. I happen to be heading there; let me take you."

Gu Sheng expressed his gratitude repeatedly. The two of them left the Book Collection Pavilion together, making their way towards the Heavenly Hall. Along the way, the mountain landscape was picturesque, with birds singing and flowers blooming, but Gu Sheng had no mind to appreciate it.

Daoist Xiushan, noticing Gu Sheng’s anxiety, curiously asked, "Gu Sheng, how is your marriage with the Tianxuan Divine Girl progressing?"

Gu Sheng then replied with a wry smile, "The Tianxuan Divine Girl’s aunt insists that I fulfill the marriage contract, and the Tianxuan Divine Girl herself seems to think I am suitable. Yet, in such a significant matter as marriage, I always feel some pressure."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Xiushan became excited, patting Gu Sheng on the shoulder, saying, "This is a tremendous opportunity! If you can become a Dao partner with the Tianxuan Divine Girl, you will indeed rise to great heights.

Not only can you intimidate the Supreme Immortal Sect, but your future in the Immortal Realm will be bright and prosperous."

Gu Sheng humbly said, "Senior, I dare not forget your kindness. Without your guidance and help, I wouldn’t be where I am today."

As they spoke, they quickened their pace. Soon, they approached the Heavenly Hall. The hall was magnificent, towering into the sky, resplendent in gold and jade, radiating powerful spiritual energy waves.

Just as they were about to enter the Heavenly Hall, a figure appeared, blocking their way.

"Gu Sheng, Xiushan, what brings you here?" The newcomer was the Tianlan Saint Master. The Tianlan Saint Master wore a luxurious robe, his expression stern, and his eyes exuded authority.

Gu Sheng immediately saluted and said, "Holy Master, I came to find Luo Xi."

The Tianlan Saint Master glanced at Gu Sheng and said, "You go in alone. Xiushan stays; I have matters to discuss with him."

Daoist Xiushan nodded and said to Gu Sheng, "You go ahead; I’ll chat with the Saint Master."

Though Gu Sheng was a bit perplexed, he dared not defy the Saint Master’s command and had to proceed alone toward the Heavenly Hall.

The Tianlan Saint Master watched Gu Sheng’s departing figure, then turned to Daoist Xiushan and said, "Recently, strange happenings have been occurring continuously across the Six Great Holy Lands, and their fortune seems to be declining. Xiushan, do you think we could seize the opportunity to annex their territories?"

Daoist Xiushan stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Holy Master, in my opinion, this matter requires waiting a few more years. This Heavenly Dao Curse is worsening, and the internal chaos within the Six Great Holy Lands will be severe. It might not be long before even the Holy Land Masters will encounter problems.

When they become vulnerable, and we then make our move, won’t it achieve twice the result with half the effort?"

The Tianlan Saint Master said, "You make a good point. This Heavenly Dao Curse hasn’t affected our Tianlan Sacred Land, thanks to Gu Sheng, who has already taken care of this matter."
