Gao Conghan looked at the rejuvenation talisman, "Are you willing to help me?"

"What?" Yu Qiu slapped the Rejuvenation Talisman on the table angrily, "You still want to threaten me? Let me tell you, I won't take this!"

Gao Conghan was silent for a moment, finally took the Rejuvenation Talisman, squatted aside and healed himself silently.

Yu Qiu looked at him silently, and heaved a sigh of relief. To be honest, Yu Qiu was really a little scared, and couldn't help it. After hesitating for a while, Yu Qiu silently reduced the bamboo pole that he was going to hit hard.

"Actually, why do you have to do this?" Yu Qiu said to him with a pleasant face, "Don't you just want me to help you keep it a secret? It's not a big deal, let's talk about it, it's easy to talk about."

Gao Conghan raised his head, "Are you willing?"

"Uh..." Yu Qiu stretched out two fingers and rubbed them in front of his eyes, "Hush money."

"How many?"

"How much do you think it should be?"

Gao Conghan glanced at his palm, took out a spirit stone from the ring, and placed it on his palm.

Only one piece? Yu Qiu clicked his tongue first, and then looked carefully, his heart skipped a beat.

piece? No, quantity is not the point, the point is that this is a high-grade spirit stone!

As the common currency in the cultivation world, spirit stones are divided into low-grade, middle-grade, high-grade, and the legendary top-grade. Among them, one hundred low-grade spirit stones are equivalent to one middle-grade spirit stone, and one thousand middle-grade spirit stones are equivalent to one high-grade spirit stone! As for the legendary top-grade spirit stone, it cannot be converted in this way, because this thing can be encountered but not sought after. It can be used by many cultivation sects as treasures of the town's treasure level, and the market is priced.

Right now, this high-grade spirit stone is equivalent to 100,000 low-grade spirit stones, which is really a huge sum of money.

Trembling, Yu Qiu looked and looked at the high-grade spirit stone over and over again, went to the window and looked at the light for a while, and even bit it hard with his teeth. Oh my god, it's really a top-grade spirit stone! How is this guy so rich!

Yu Qiu's mouth was crooked.

Halfway through the smile, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and suddenly straightened his expression again, "You give so much, I can't find it."

"I didn't ask you to find it."

"Don't be kidding." Yu Qiu put the seemingly high-grade spirit stone on the table, "There is an old saying that you don't get rewarded without merit. I just help you hide one thing. I don't think you should receive so much."

There is also an old saying that if you don't have anything to do, you can be a traitor or a thief. Yu Qiu doesn't think this guy in front of him is a generous and good person. Even though he is really generous and generous, he is actually very cunning and petty, so he has to guard against it.

Gao Conghan looked at Yu Qiu, showing a troubled and helpless expression, "Can't you take the extra ones as a gift from me?"

"No, unless you tell the truth." Yu Qiu said, "What do you want me to do? It should be more than just wanting me to hide it for you."

Gao Conghan was silent for a moment, then parted his mouth and showed a weird smile, "I said it at the beginning, I want you to help me."

Yu Qiu looked at him straight, "I don't think I can help you too much."

"You can!" Gao Conghan suddenly raised his voice, showing a little excitement, but under Yu Qiu's vigilant eyes, he quickly controlled his emotions and regained his composure.

Then he took out something and handed it to Yu Qiu.

It's a weird disc.

Yu Qiu took it and saw that there were many strange lines drawn on the disk, which condensed into many strange lines.

He turned the disc over and over for a long while, "This seems to be... something for divination?"

"Yes." Gao Conghan nodded, "It told me that only you can save me."

Hearing this, Yu Qiu raised his head, showing a look of dumbfounding, "Where did you come from?"

Gao Conghan found another jade slip and threw it to him as well.

Yu Qiu took a look with his spiritual sense... Nima, it turned out to be an introductory book on divination.

"So you made this thing yourself?" Yu Qiu was speechless, "Do you know how much effort is required to calculate useful results in divination?"

"Of course I know, a dead horse is just a living horse doctor." Gao Conghan said, his eyes suddenly burst into an extremely bright light that seemed to be full of hope, "But I actually found you. This is not Is it already a good start? Regardless of whether it turns out to be true or not, I have to give it a try.”

Yu Qiu helped his forehead.

"If you can't help me with a high-grade spirit stone, I have one more thing here." Gao Conghan handed him another rag.

Yu Qiu spread it out and saw that there were bunches of incomprehensible patterns on it, coupled with some incomprehensible words, in short, it was incomprehensible. But after carefully reading it several times, Yu Qiu took a deep breath.

These incomprehensible words seem to be ancient languages.

The so-called ancient language is said to be a language that existed before the Xuanyan Continent appeared. What the world was like before the appearance of the Xuanyan Continent is still an unsolved mystery. Every so many years, there will always be a few lucky monks who come across some caves buried deep in the ground, find some magic weapons that are still powerful even though they have not been owned for many years, and discover some long-lost alchemy formulas and Qi refining methods. The dharma and the talisman patterns let everyone know that before the current cultivation world, there used to be another ancient cultivation world that was extremely powerful but suddenly declined for some reason.

Just when Yu Qiu kept looking at the rag, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, when a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Huh]

The system suddenly beeped.

[this is not… ]

-What

[Hmm... it's not a big deal, it's just a treasure map]

Treasure Map!

Yu Qiu was excited: it turned out to be the treasure map of the ancient cave mansion!

—Wait, how did you know it was a treasure map? Can you understand the ancient language

[…]

The system is dead.

Yu Qiu silently rolled his eyes.

"This is also what I found in that package. It should also be the relic of that person." Gao Conghan said, "I have studied it for a long time, but it is really too difficult for one person. We can come and study it together."

Yu Qiu had to admit that this was really a great temptation. An ancient cave that may be discovered... Maybe Yu Qiu doesn't care about the magic treasures inside, maybe those alchemy formulas and those methods of refining weapons, but he can't help but care about those long-lost talismans.

Yu Qiu raised his head, and sure enough, he saw Gao Conghan was looking proud.

Faced with this irresistible invitation to form a team, while accepting it, Yu Qiu tried his best to help his teammates not make mistakes, which became an inevitable task.

"Okay." Yu Qiu finally agreed to take over the task, but put forward another condition, "But we must let Chun Mian participate."

Immediately, Gao Conghan's complacent face turned into a look of unhappiness in an instant.

"Actually, I'm not in a hurry." Yu Qiu returned the piece of cloth to him, and said with a slight smile, "To be honest, I've been quite busy recently. I haven't passed the Xuanyang Sect entry test yet, so I have to wait for other things. Row by row, so you can take a little more time to think about it."

"You..." Gao Conghan gritted his teeth, "Don't you just want him?"

Yu Qiu was taken aback.

Just at this time, the noise outside the house started again, and the group of Xuanyang Sect disciples who had fled to nothing finally came back.

Gao Conghan grabbed the cloth back, put it back in the storage ring, wiped his face, left a sentence "I'll come back to you in a few days", and walked out.

"Wait." Yu Qiu stopped him, and handed over a few talismans, "Calmness talisman, if you feel something is wrong, just take a picture on your body, the effect is quite good."

Gao Cong took it with a cold face, without thanking him, and just opened the door.

It happened that someone was walking quickly outside and almost bumped into him.

When Yu Qiu saw it, it happened that Xu Hong had come back.

Seeing Gao Conghan come out of Yu Qiu's room, Xu Hong's face immediately changed, he had already realized something.

Sure enough, he asked Yu Qiu again later, and Yu Qiu told a lie so tightly that he completely covered up the identity of Moxiu for Gao Conghan.

Xu Hong was helpless.

Later, he thought that he could still ask Xiao Chunmian, but he was one step too late. When Xu Hong walked to Xiao Chunmian's door, Yu Qiu just came out of Xiao Chunmian's room.

So... After another day of searching, the entire Xuanyangzong Demon Killing Team was helpless.

Finally, on the third day after the end of the first stage of the trial, the Demon Killing Team announced that they had expelled the demon cultivator from Xuanyang Mountain, and this matter was exposed helplessly.

On this day, Yu Qiu has been lying in his room, working hard to continue to complete his brand new idea.

In the early morning of the next day, the three-day rest was over, and all the cultivators gathered in Wangyuntai again, waiting nervously and expectantly for the start of the second stage of the trial.

Under the command of Xu Hong and Shen Qianlan, all the trial monks were divided into two rows.

The top 40 is one row, and the bottom 40 is another row, which is arranged completely according to the ranking of the results.

Xiao Chunmian stood in the first place without hesitation, attracting everyone's attention. So eye-catching, Xiao Chunmian himself is calm and composed, with a gentle and warm smile on his face, as if he is not competing with everyone for the ranking of the trial, but enjoying the flowers on an outing.

Although... the score of 10,000 points is stamped there, he really doesn't need to compete with others anymore.

After Yu Qiu finished watching Xiao Chunmian, he went to look at the row behind the forty people on the opposite side.

Standing in the first place in the second row was Gao Conghan with a gloomy face—he was so unfortunate that he happened to be in forty-first place.

Later, Gu Ruxue said something that made Gao Conghan's face darken again, "Those whose scores are currently in the top forty, pass the second level, and each person will increase by 100 points. Those whose scores are outside the forty For those who fail the second test, one hundred points will be deducted."

Then she smiled slightly, "Now let's start the third level."

After waiting for three days for the second level, it turned out to be such a result, and those who were farther than forty in the row were going crazy.

Gao Conghan stood up directly, "It's not fair!"

If it wasn't for yesterday's conversation, Yu Qiu must have thought that he was very excited now... But now Yu Qiu knew that he was actually acting so excited on purpose.

"Oh?" Gu Ruxue looked at him, "Why isn't it fair?"

"The ranking in the first round doesn't prove everything." Gao Conghan took out the flying blade directly and pointed to the top 40 in the opposite row, "If we can't prove it, we must be worse than them!"

As these words came out, there was a commotion among the last forty people, and many people jumped out and echoed him one after another.

"That makes sense." Gu Ruxue raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Then I'll give you a chance now. Listen, every last forty has a chance to challenge the top forty. You choose your opponents yourself , as long as you are in the top 40, choose one of them. If you beat your opponent, you will get 200 points, and your opponent will lose 100 points. If you cannot win, you will be eliminated directly. How dare you?"

Yu Qiu couldn't help laughing when he heard it below: So that's the case, this is the real second level.

All eyes were on Gao Conghan.

"I can't ask for it." Gao Conghan smiled proudly, pointing his blade at Xiao Chunmian, who stood at the forefront among the top forty.
