Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 937: Chapter 492: Aura of the Primordial Ore (Part 2)

The owner of the Spirit Stone Square, relieved, quickly left with his subordinates, fearing that Gu Sheng might change his mind.

He felt he had narrowly escaped a disaster today and dared not show any disrespect to Gu Sheng in the future.

Gu Sheng looked at the stone in his hand, his eyes full of joy.

He knew that this stone would be crucial for his cultivation; if utilized properly, it might elevate him to a higher realm.

Then, Gu Sheng had Er Gou put the stone away.

"Qing Shan, how is the relationship between your Qingxia Sect and the Yaochi Holy Land?"

As Gu Sheng spoke, he walked outside with Qing Shan.

"So-so."

Qing Shan replied.

"So-so? What do you mean?"

Gu Sheng pressed further.

"Our two factions divide the streets of Pingyang City between us; there are exchanges but also some hidden conflicts, so... it’s that kind of relationship."

Qing Shan smiled faintly and said.

"Alright, then do you know the Yaochi Immortal?"

Gu Sheng turned his head and asked.

"Of course I do!"

When mentioning the Yaochi Immortal, Qing Shan’s eyes suddenly lit up.

"The Yaochi Immortal, unparalleled in beauty, is the dream lover of countless people in Pingyang City. Her beauty lies not just in her appearance but in her extraordinary aura and profound cultivation."

Qing Shan spoke with a somewhat playful expression.

Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow slightly, intrigued by Qing Shan’s words.

"Oh? What about her strength?"

Qing Shan nodded and continued, "The Yaochi Immortal is not only stunning but also possesses unfathomable strength. It’s said that she has reached a very high realm in her cultivation, even our Qingxia Sect’s elders hold her in awe."

"It seems this Yaochi Immortal truly is a remarkable figure. If there’s a chance, I’d like to meet her."

Hearing this, Gu Sheng began to take a deep interest in the Yaochi Immortal.

Qing Shan smiled and said, "Brother, you’ve come at the right time. The Yaochi Immortal visits Pingyang City once a year to attend a grand event hosted by the City Lord. Usually, she comes next month, but this year, unexpectedly, she came today."

"Oh?"

Gu Sheng smiled and said, "So it seems we’ll be able to see her today?"

"Of course, we can; leave it to me, it’s just..."

Qing Shan said confidently.

"Just what?"

Gu Sheng asked.

"Just reduce the time you treat me as a lackey a little bit, three days, just three days, okay?"

Qing Shan held up three fingers, looking expectantly at Gu Sheng.

"You rascal, bargaining with me, Brother Sheng!"

The rash Er Gou, without a word, gave Qing Shan two big slaps.

"Ouch! You..."

Qing Shan screamed and turned his head, shouting, "What are you doing?"

"What do you think? Do you want to eat stone again?"

Er Gou shouted angrily.

Seeing the tension between the two, Gu Sheng waved his hand and said, "Qing Shan, if you can find a way for me to approach the Yaochi Saintess, I’ll agree to your condition."

"Really?"

Qing Shan looked excited.

"Yes, I keep my word!"

Gu Sheng nodded.

"Alright, I promise to complete the task!"

Qing Shan said, shaking his fist with determination.

"What is that!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd looked up at the sky in surprise.

Gu Sheng looked up to see the sky shrouded in clouds and mist, exuding immortal energy, like the descent of deities.

"It’s the Yaochi Immortal! The Yaochi Immortal is here!"

Gu Sheng’s heart involuntarily sped up.

His gaze fixed intently on the anomaly in the sky.

The clouds parted gently, and a soft golden light descended, as if a portal to Heaven had opened.

Shortly after, a figure appeared faintly in the halo.

The crowd buzzed with excitement, some cheering, and others stunned into silence.

Gu Sheng felt a surge of inexplicable excitement; he hadn’t anticipated that the appearance of the Yaochi Immortal would add such a rare spectacle.

Gradually, the figure of the Yaochi Immortal became clearer.

She wore a dazzling long dress, her hair cascading like a waterfall, her features like a painting.

A soft seven-colored glow surrounded her, exuding a sense of elegance and mystery.

The crowd, admiring this spectacle, watched as the Yaochi Immortal’s procession moved towards the northern part of the city.

"Where did the Yaochi Immortal go?"

Gu Sheng turned and asked the almost drooling Qing Shan.

Qing Shan pointed in the direction of the city’s north: "It’s the Spirit Stone Square in the north of the city."

A soft seven-colored glow surrounded her, exuding a sense of elegance and mystery.

The crowd, admiring this spectacle, watched as the Yaochi Immortal’s procession moved towards the northern part of the city.

Qing Shan wiped the corner of his mouth, snapped back to reality, and explained to Gu Sheng, "The Spirit Stone Square is a branch of the Yaochi Holy Land in Sun City, responsible for collecting and assessing various rare Source Ores. The Yaochi Immortal’s visit this time is to select the finest Source Ores at the Spirit Stone Square."

"Selecting Source Ores?"

Gu Sheng felt a stir in his heart.

The Goblin Source Stone flowing into Sun City might have been collected by the Yaochi Holy Land.

Now that the Yaochi Immortal personally came to the Spirit Stone Square, could it be for that Goblin Source Stone?

"We must go to the Spirit Stone Square; there’s something there I need."

Gu Sheng said resolutely.

"This..."

Qing Shan looked troubled.

Because the Spirit Stone Square wasn’t a place just anyone could enter, especially since their Qingxia Sect and the Yaochi family were competitors.

If they shamelessly went there now, it would be quite embarrassing.

"What? Getting itchy?"

Er Gou coldly scolded from the side.

"No, no, our families are already in competition; if I lead the way, there has to be some reason, right?"

Qing Shan looked distressed.

"That’s easy; just say we have a Hand Split Stone and want to compare it with the Yaochi Holy Land’s Source Ore."

Gu Sheng said as he took out the Hand Split Stone he had opened earlier.

Qing Shan looked at the Hand Split Stone and nodded gently.

"Alright, I’ll go with you."

Only then did Qing Shan reluctantly agree.

Immediately, the group moved swiftly.

They traversed the bustling streets, heading straight for the Spirit Stone Square in the north of the city.

The Spirit Stone Square was located in a quiet area in the city’s north, surrounded by high walls, with disciples of the Yaochi Holy Land guarding the entrance, giving it a solemn appearance.

When Gu Sheng and his group arrived, the Yaochi Immortal’s procession had already entered the square.

The large door was wide open, and people of prominence from Sun City entered one after another.

These people all carried invitations, seemingly reserved in advance.

"Qing Shan!"

Gu Sheng called out to Qing Shan and gave him a glance.

"Brother, look, everyone has invitations, and we have nothing. Are we just going in like that?"

Qing Shan said with a gloomy face.

"Then, what do you suggest?"

Asked Shi Lou from the side.

"I’ll be right back; wait for me here."

Qing Shan finished speaking and was about to leave directly.

Just then, the appearance of a group of people made Qing Shan suddenly stop in his tracks.

"Haha! Great!"

Qing Shan smiled and said directly to Gu Sheng and the others, "Brother, follow me! That’s our family’s team over there."

Following Qing Shan’s finger, Gu Sheng saw a man in green leading, followed by several juniors walking towards them.

"Third Brother!"

Qing Shan approached with a smile and called out.

The man in green frowned slightly, giving Qing Shan a disdainful look: "What are you doing here?"

"I want to go to the Spirit Stone Square with my friends; we don’t have invitations, so I’ve been waiting for you here."

Qing Shan smiled and said.

"Oh, oh, oh, Brother Qing Shan, are you interested in the Yaochi Immortal?"

Suddenly, a practitioner slightly younger than Qing Shan stepped forward, speaking in a teasing tone.

"Go, go, go, none of your business, you underage brat."

Qing Shan gave him a shove.

"Tch! I’m an adult, just turned eighteen."

The young practitioner said with a face full of resentment.

"Brother! Come quick!"

Then, Qing Shan waved to Gu Sheng and the others.
