Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1214 - 631: A Precious Opportunity

Tianlan Saint Mother gazed at Gu Sheng's pallid face, her heart brimming with compassion, and hastily declared, "Child, you’ve worked hard. This is an exceptional Spirit Pill. Taking it will certainly help you quickly regain your Primordial Energy."

As she spoke, she retrieved a crystalline elixir pill from her sleeve. The pill released a lush fragrance that refreshed anyone who simply inhaled it.

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

He slipped the pill into his mouth, where it dissolved at once. A cozy, potent energy surged through him, mending his injured meridians and restoring his drained Spiritual Power.

Instead of retreating into seclusion to heal right away, Gu Sheng fretted that signing the Heavenly Dao Marriage Certificate might spark confusions, particularly with Luo Xi.

Luo Xi had shared a long acquaintance with him, their bond profound and deep. He wished to prevent this issue from breeding needless misunderstandings. Rallying his exhausted frame, he departed the Water Spirit Pavilion, making for Luo Xi's location.

Gu Sheng dashed into the pavilion, scouring every corner, yet discovered it vacant, utterly devoid of people.

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

Pacing restlessly within the pavilion while lost in thought, a sudden idea struck him: "Could they have gone to the Elder Hall?"

However, he shook his head in denial. Disciples were strictly barred from nearing the Elder Hall. Luo Xi, ever compliant, would never venture there.

That Second Elder and Seventh Elder lurked suspiciously, doubtless scheming some wicked plot. Rushing over might drag him into peril.

Gu Sheng mulled it over briefly, recalling Daoist Xiushan from the Book Collection Pavilion. Renowned for his vast knowledge, Daoist Xiushan could well know Luo Xi’s location. Delaying no more, he unleashed his movement technique and raced toward the Book Collection Pavilion.

Situated in a serene Sect enclave ringed by venerable trees, the Book Collection Pavilion radiated tranquility. A subtle scholarly aroma filled the interior, where endless shelves groaned under secret manuals and ancient volumes.

Gu Sheng stepped into the Book Collection Pavilion to find Daoist Xiushan seated at a desk, utterly absorbed in an archaic scroll. Dressed in a gray Daoist robe with flowing white hair and spectacles perched on his nose, Xiushan exuded a gentle, affable vibe.

"Senior Xiushan, sorry to disturb you," Gu Sheng stated with respect.

Daoist Xiushan lifted his gaze. Spotting Gu Sheng, a warm smile lit his features: "Ah, it’s Gu Sheng. What brings you to this old man?"

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

Daoist Xiushan tweaked his glasses, reflected momentarily, then revealed, "I just saw Luo Xi and the Golden Simurgh Heavenly Monarch in the Heavenly Hall."

Hearing this filled Gu Sheng with joy, and he swiftly replied, "Thank you for letting me know, Senior. I will head to the Heavenly Hall right away."

Noting Gu Sheng’s fretful expression, Daoist Xiushan offered a faint smile and said, "The Heavenly Hall is not so easy to enter. I happen to be heading there; let me take you."

Gu Sheng voiced his thanks profusely. Together, the pair quitted the Book Collection Pavilion, bound for the Heavenly Hall. The path wound through breathtaking mountain vistas, alive with birdsong and blooming flora, though Gu Sheng paid it no heed.

Sensing Gu Sheng’s unease, Daoist Xiushan asked with curiosity, "Gu Sheng, how is your marriage with the Tianxuan Divine Girl progressing?"

A wry smile crossed Gu Sheng’s face as he responded, "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."

Daoist Xiushan lit up with enthusiasm upon hearing this, clapping Gu Sheng on the shoulder while exclaiming, "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 replied modestly, "Senior, I dare not forget your kindness. Without your guidance and help, I wouldn’t be where I am today."

Chatting thus, they hastened their steps. Before long, they neared the Heavenly Hall. Majestic and sky-piercing, the hall gleamed with golden splendor and jade magnificence, pulsing with formidable spiritual energy.

Right as they neared the entrance to the Heavenly Hall, a shadowy figure materialized, obstructing their path.

"Gu Sheng, Xiushan, what brings you here?" The arriving figure belonged to the Tianlan Saint Master, draped in opulent robes, face etched with severity, gaze brimming with dominance.

Gu Sheng bowed promptly and replied, "Holy Master, I came to find Luo Xi."

The Tianlan Saint Master cast a quick look at Gu Sheng and declared, "You go in alone. Xiushan stays; I have matters to discuss with him."

Daoist Xiushan gave a nod and told Gu Sheng, "You go ahead; I’ll chat with the Saint Master."

A touch of confusion crossed Gu Sheng’s mind, yet he wouldn’t dare disobey the Saint Master’s order and ventured solo into the Heavenly Hall.

Watching Gu Sheng’s retreating back, the Tianlan Saint Master shifted to Daoist Xiushan and asked, "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 rubbed his beard, mulled it over briefly, and responded, "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 nodded, saying, "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."
