It has been more than ten years since he started practicing, and the time is almost right. Gu Pinglin found an opportunity to report the change of the technique to Yue Songting, saying that he just thought of it by chance, and he and Bu Shuihan tried to practice for several years and found no problem. Yue Songting was so scared that he took the pulse of the two on the spot, and was relieved after confirming that they were fine. He personally took Chen Qian and Chang Jinxin to try it for half a month, and proved that the new technique was not only no problem, but it was smoother to practice than the old technique, and it was twice as effective with half the effort, and it was not necessarily inferior to those first-class techniques.
The improvement of the quality of the technique was of great significance to the Lingxin Sect. The Lingxin Sect was expected to join the ranks of first-class sects. Yue Songting was so excited that he could not sleep for several nights. He announced this matter in the sect on a chosen day, asked the disciples to change to the new technique, and ordered the academy to record that Gu Pinglin's name would be recorded in the history of the Lingxin Sect. The entire Lingxin Sect was shocked. The disciples respected Gu Pinglin very much, and Gu Pinglin's prestige was even higher.
After the incident, Gu Pinglin, Duan Qingming and Bu Shuihan were summoned into the hall. Chen Qian, Chang Jinxin and Ren Ping were also there. Yue Songting sat on the chair in the middle.
The three of them bowed, then stepped aside and stood still.
Bu Shuihan asked, "We have done a great job this time. Master, will you reward us?"
Ren Ren stroked his graying beard and asked with a smile, "This is all thanks to Junior Brother Gu. What does it have to do with you?"
Bu Shuihan said: "Junior Brother Gu has come up with a good idea, but he needs someone to try it for him. Who else has the courage to do so except me?"
"You still have the guts?" Chen Qian said, "This is called recklessness! If there was a problem with your technique, your cultivation would have been ruined long ago!"
Bu Shuihan didn't care: "It's okay now."
"It's your luck!" Chen Qian glared at him. "Junior Brother Gu has always been cautious in his work. He must have been fully confident in the new technique, so he allowed you to practice it."
"Of course I understand," Bu Shuihan put his arm around Gu Pinglin's shoulder and said proudly, "If it wasn't Junior Brother Gu's idea, I wouldn't have tried it. Do you really think I'm stupid?"
He rarely jokes, and this time he did it to make Yue Songting happy. Chen Qian's expression softened and he snorted, "You still know you're stupid, which is rare."
Everyone laughed.
Yue Songting shook his head and said, "Chen Qian is right. Although you have made great contributions this time, it is too dangerous to change the skills without authorization. You must not do this again in the future. You must inform me first."
Gu Pinglin and Bu Shuihan quickly agreed.
Yue Songting changed the subject to business: "The reason I called you here today is actually for the inheritance of our ancestors."
Gu Pinglin asked: "Master, do you have an idea?"
“If you can improve your skills, Lingxin Sect will have a promising future. I have no regrets in this life,” Yue Songting sighed, waved his hand to stop him from speaking, and continued, “But the ancestor’s inheritance is extraordinary after all. The Creation Technique is a god-level skill. Although those who practice Taoism should follow their fate, opportunities do not come out of thin air. If you have a good opportunity and don’t seek it, it will hurt you, especially if you don’t care about fame…” He stopped.
Gu Pinglin knew that he was feeling guilty about the Duan family incident the day before. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Duan Qingming laugh and say, "Master, you are wrong. If you say destiny, then my fate is already determined. I joined the Lingxin Sect, and now the Lingxin Sect has a first-class technique. Isn't this the blessing of heaven? What is the master still worried about? Are you afraid that my destiny is too strong and that I will lead a few inner alchemy masters to the Lingxin Sect and scare others?"
After hearing this, Yue Songting was indeed amused.
Chen Qian's mouth twitched: "In that case, it's all your credit."
Duan Qingming said, "Brother, you are too kind."
Bu Shuihan couldn't help but sarcastically said, "What a thick skin!"
Chang Jinxin held back her laughter and pointed at him, joking: "Junior Brother Duan is so shameless, what secret book did you practice?"
"I created it myself," Duan Qingming said calmly, with his hands behind his back, "If you are interested, I would like to lend it to you for your reference."
Everyone laughed.
He was right. Now the new skills of Lingxin Sect were no worse than those of Xuanming Sect, so he was not wronged. Yue Songting smiled and sighed, "You kid, you just don't care about your own path."
Duan Qingming is good at grasping people's hearts, and it is easy for him to coax people. Gu Pinglin glanced at him, and when he saw him looking back, he withdrew his gaze and said nothing.
Chang Jinxin talked about business: "Master, do you mean to go to Hai City to buy that clue?"
"I don't know how many major sects have bought this news, and we don't know whether it's true or not. We don't need to join in the fun," Yue Songting shook his head. "In recent years, there are many disciples in our sect who have reached the third level of Qi Refining. It's time to let them go down the mountain to gain some experience and seek opportunities. It's destined by heaven. If the opportunity really falls on someone, he will naturally encounter it even if there are no clues."
"Master, what you said is very true," Ren Ping nodded, "What is opportunity? Even if we try our best, if we don't have the chance, it's in vain. We don't need to care too much."
Yue Songting told Chang Jinxin, "I'll leave this matter to you. Everything depends on God's will. Don't force it. You must put your own safety first."
At present, the strength of the disciples of Lingxin Sect is generally not high. If they really want to compete with others, they will definitely suffer a great loss.
Chang Jinxin agreed, then hesitated: "Even if the opportunity falls to one of our disciples, I'm afraid..."
The ancestor's inheritance is so important that it will surely bring about a bloody storm. How can it withstand the envy of others? Judging from the strength of the Lingxin Sect, even if they get it by chance, it will be difficult to keep it.
Yue Songting was silent for a long time, then sighed, "So what I mean is, if you are lucky... then you should get away from the world of cultivation as soon as possible to avoid disaster, and don't come back until you reach the Dan realm."
The action could not be made public, so Chang Jinxin arranged it herself, and only told the public that the disciples were going down the mountain for training. But then again, the clues of Haiyun Country selling the ancestral inheritance were being watched by the cultivation world. Any sect that made the slightest move would be immediately targeted, and many sects wanted to try their luck, so the so-called "secret operation" was just a cover-up.
Gu Pinglin had already anticipated Yue Songting's decision.
Gu Pinglin had thought about passing on the Creation Art to Yue Songting. With the power of the Creation Art, Yue Songting would surely be able to break through and increase his lifespan. But Gu Pinglin also understood that if he really did that, it would be difficult to explain to Yue Songting. With Ming Qingzi's divination, Yue Songting's sudden breakthrough would definitely attract attention. Once the slightest flaw was revealed, it would bring great disaster to the Lingxin Sect, and it might harm Yue Songting instead.
What if he was reborn? What if he possessed the top-level skills? In the end, he could only watch his master die and reincarnate.
Gu Pinglin walked out of the palace gate and looked into the sky.
God's will is unpredictable, human power is ultimately limited, only the Great Dao is eternal. I should concentrate on the path of the Dao, and ensure that the inheritance of the Lingxin Sect continues, so that I can repay my master's great kindness. Although my talent is not as good as Duan Qingming and Bu Shuihan, I only have the Creation Art, and I practice diligently, so I can form a pill so early. I must not slack off in the future.
The mechanism of Youyou Haijing should have been activated a hundred years later, when I, Duan Qingming, and Bu Shuihan would have been in the inner alchemy stage. Now that the Yanque mechanism has been exposed ahead of time, someone may have discovered clues about Haijing in advance. To judge whether the news of Haiyun Country's sale is true or false, it is very simple. Just go to Haijing and you will know.
Originally, I had already memorized the Creation Art, so there was no need to fight for it. However, another item in the inheritance was very useful, so this matter could not be ignored.
Gu Pinglin pondered secretly and walked down the stairs slowly.
Bu Shuihan came over and asked, "How about we go together on this trip?"
Gu Pinglin shook his head, pulled him aside, and whispered, "I got news from Hai City this time. Many people went to Danghun Mountain in the west and Youyou Sea in the east. I guess the other mechanism is likely to be in these two places. Brother and I will each take some people to search in two different directions. Wouldn't the chance be greater?"
Bu Shuihan said happily: "That's great, then I will take people to Danghun Mountain, and you go to the sea."
He was used to choosing first, and this was also within Gu Pinglin's expectations. Gu Pinglin nodded: "If there is any news, send a message immediately."
Bu Shuihan hesitated: "Should I tell Junior Brother Duan about this?"
Such words can only fool him, how can they fool Duan Qingming? Gu Pinglin said perfunctorily: "Let's talk about it later."
Bu Shuihan thought he was unwilling, so he said no more and went back excitedly to prepare.
Gu Pinglin watched him leave and slowly turned around.
In his previous life, Bu Shuihan met with an accident in Youyou Sea Realm. This time the situation has changed and the time has been advanced a hundred years. It is unlikely that Duan Qingming will attack him, but just in case, he cannot be allowed to go to the sea realm.
Since he had decided to investigate, Gu Pinglin had to go back to his residence to pack up and prepare. As he walked along the corridor and around the corner, he saw a snow-white figure standing on the corridor in front of him.
Hearing the noise, Duan Qingming turned sideways and said, "Xiao Jiu."
Gu Pinglin stopped and said, "Brother Duan."
Duan Qingming narrowed his eyes slightly and walked in front of him: "You were the one who sent me back to my room that night."
"yes."
"I looked for you several times."
"The day before yesterday, my master and I were working on a new technique, so we were busy," Gu Pinglin said. "I wonder what my master wanted to talk to me about?"
Duan Qingming lowered his head and said, "Nothing happened. I'm just wondering, I was drunk that night. Who took advantage of me and bullied me?"
The distance was too close, and his breath brushed against his temples. Gu Pinglin remembered the reason why he pushed him. He knew that he would be suspicious after waking up, so he said calmly: "Brother, what do you mean? If I have really offended you, I am here to apologize."
Duan Qingming looked at him for a while, then suddenly smiled: "You can be so respectful in front of me."
"I should be respectful in front of my senior brother," Gu Pinglin said, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
Duan Qingming said nothing, just watched him walk by, then suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist.
Gu Pinglin was well prepared. He floated away and waved his hand to condense an energy barrier. The barrier set up by the Creation Art was extraordinary. Even with the sharp sword intent, it was difficult to break through for a while.
Duan Qingming withdrew his hand and stared at him in silence.
Gu Pinglin removed the Qi barrier: "Your cultivation is indeed slightly better than mine, but it is not that easy to defeat me."
Duan Qingming asked: "What's wrong?"
"Just reminding you that I am your opponent." Gu Pinglin flicked his sleeves and left without looking back.
