Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1070: Chapter 559: Strike While It’s Weak

Several people gathered once more, and Gu Sheng noticed that the divine power in everyone had changed.

For a moment, his smile grew bigger.

"Not bad, everyone is improving fast. If I’m not mistaken, Lan Yao, you’ve broken through?"

Hearing his words, Lan Yao’s eyes lit up, and he nodded.

"Yes, the bottleneck that troubled me for years has finally been broken! Gu Sheng, how about we have a spar?"

"Lan Yao, are you insane? He’s Gu Sheng!"

Bai Yu blocked him and gave him a side-eye.

"You can’t even beat me, and you want to compete with him? You’ve broken through, but you’re not immortal!"

Hearing this, Lan Yao calmed down a bit and scratched his head awkwardly.

"I was just saying casually."

"You’re really daring to say that."

"Just talking, what’s there to be afraid of?"

Seeing the two bicker, Gu Sheng couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"Shi Lou, how about you guys?"

"Brother Sheng, our strength has also increased significantly!"

"That’s good, pack your things, we’re leaving tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, everyone was a bit puzzled.

"Gu Sheng, has something happened again? Why are we leaving in such a hurry?"

Gu Sheng explained about Saint Ya, and upon learning that they had to go to East Mountain, everyone finally understood.

"Alright, we’ll leave tomorrow then!"

After everyone left, Gu Sheng headed straight to Hong Mei’s place.

After knocking on the door for a long time without a response, he went over to Wushuang Taoist’s place instead.

As expected, upon entering the door, he saw Hong Mei.

The two were working on herbal medicine, Hong Mei sitting close to Wushuang Taoist, occasionally leaning her head on her shoulder. They were chatting and laughing, looking very much like a close mentor-mentee pair.

There’s no denying, Wushuang Taoist was really good to Hong Mei.

She had so many under her care, but favored only Hong Mei, perhaps because she was her first disciple, favor had to be shown.

After creating some noise to draw their attention, Gu Sheng then approached them.

"Greetings, Sect Leader."

Wushuang Taoist raised her hand slightly, smiling at him, "Gu Sheng, are they all out?"

"Yes, thanks to Wushuang Taoist, their divine power has improved, and we will depart for East Mountain tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Hong Mei stood up abruptly.

"Leaving tomorrow? So soon?"

"Now that they are all out, it’s time for us to head there as well."

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Hong Mei looked at Wushuang Taoist with reluctant eyes.

Wushuang Taoist patted her hand and said, "On the road, make sure you listen to Gu Sheng, don’t act on impulse. I’ve spoiled your temperament to be a bit arrogant, it’s time to temper it and follow Gu Sheng well. You can learn a lot from him."

"Master, I’ll miss you..."

"Silly girl, I’m here at Yunhai, you can see me whenever you return, why be reluctant?"

"I’m worried about your poison..."

"Gu Sheng has already researched a method to suppress it for me, and I’ll conquer the rest bit by bit. After you leave, I’ll be able to focus on studying it behind closed doors, with you around, you’d only disturb my mind, it’s time for you to go."

With these words, Hong Mei could only nod reluctantly.

"Master, if anything happens, send us a message, and I promise I’ll be back at the first moment."

"Don’t worry, you’re my first disciple, I won’t hide anything from you, now go pack your things, leave early tomorrow, don’t waste time on the road. Saint Ya and her followers are all cunning, remember to listen to Gu Sheng on the journey, no tantrums."

Hearing Wushuang Taoist’s repeated exhortations, Hong Mei glanced at Gu Sheng, then blushed and nodded.

"Don’t worry, I understand."

Early the next day, everyone gathered in front of Gu Sheng’s door.

After checking the headcount, Gu Sheng led everyone to bid farewell to Wushuang Taoist and set off towards East Mountain together.

Once out of Yunhai, Gu Sheng released a stream of spiritual power, probing straight ahead.

Seeing how he used his spiritual power effortlessly, Hong Mei was a bit curious.

"Gu Sheng, there’s no unfamiliar aura nearby, why did you suddenly release spiritual power?"

"To guide."

"To guide? What is your spiritual power seeking?"

"The aura of Saint Ya, Wushuang Taoist gave me something with her aura on it."

"What if she’s not at East Mountain?"

"Her last disappearance point was there, and she stayed there for a while, if we search this way, we’ll find her sooner or later."

Understanding what this meant, Hong Mei smiled slightly.

"Gu Sheng, you’re really smart."

Suddenly receiving praise, Gu Sheng couldn’t help but smile.

"Fair enough, let’s go."

As they pressed forward, after two days of travel, they entered a dense forest.

In the forest, there was no sunlight, it was dark and gloomy everywhere, and the roars of wild beasts could be heard from time to time. The road underfoot was muddy and rugged, slowing down their progress.

Gu Sheng led the way at the front, guiding everyone.

They had been walking in the dense forest for a full day and still hadn’t seen the sun.

Looking up at the sky, Lan Yao rubbed his temple with a headache.

"Gu Sheng, we’ve been walking for a day, when will this road end?"

"Don’t worry, we’ll make it out eventually."

Seeing Gu Sheng still as calm as ever, Lan Yao was almost amused to anger.

Just then, a wisp of aura suddenly emanated from a distance.

Gu Sheng had been at the front, and that aura fell directly on him, causing his expression to change suddenly.

"Gu Sheng, maybe we should rest for a bit. It’s been a day, we need to replenish our energy."

After Lan Yao said this, Gu Sheng shook his head solemnly.

"We could rest before, but not now, a Demon Beast is coming."

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled, and quickly gathered around Gu Sheng, forming a semicircle with him in the center.
