Chapter 6: Stepping into the Door of Immortality

The most popular child among the seven is naturally Gu Changcheng, who has dual spiritual roots of earth and wood, followed by a child named Gu Changgong. Gu Changgong has three spiritual roots of water, earth and wood, and the main spiritual root of water is more than six inches. His aptitude is almost the same as Gu Changze. If he works hard to cultivate, he will be the backbone of the family in the future.

There are hundreds of thousands of mortals in Yuqing Town, and more than 10,000 children, among whom there are many descendants of immortal cultivators, but only seven children with spiritual roots were detected this time.

Gu Shiyuan and the other two took the list to the General Affairs Hall to report. Gu Wanhua was naturally happy to hear that there was a dual spiritual root, and he immediately sent a message to the clan leader Gu Wanchang. He also decided to increase the task reward by one third.

Gu Wanhua happily counted the lists brought back by each captain

"Seven people in Yuqing Town, five people in Gujia Town, four people in Rong Town..."

"This time, there are 27 people with spiritual roots! The Chang generation is really prosperous!" m.

Gu Wanhua was happy and worried.

Nearly thirty people, the annual salary is a considerable expense.

Gu Changhuan was in the Sutra Library at this time. She described everything about the two-day spiritual test conference to Gu Xuanzhan. When Gu Xuanzhan heard that another dual spiritual root appeared in the family, he actually sighed.

Earth gives birth to wood and wood nourishes earth. The child named Gu Changcheng is luckier than him!

Although Gu Xuanzhan also has dual spiritual roots, he has dual spiritual roots of water and fire, and the spiritual root attributes conflict. If you want to break through the Purple Mansion period, you must have an earth attribute spiritual object to reconcile the water and fire spiritual energy. This earth attribute spiritual object must be at least the third-grade upper grade. If there is no earth attribute spiritual object to reconcile, before Gu Xuanzhan can break through the Purple Mansion, the spiritual energy that is incompatible with water and fire will explode in the body and send Gu Xuanzhan into reincarnation.

Third-grade upper-grade spiritual objects are rare. Gu Xuanzhan has been in the ninth level of foundation building for more than 30 years, so he has not yet broken through to the Purple Mansion period. Gu Xuanzhan is already 243 years old. If he cannot make further progress within 50 years, he can only sit and die.

Gu Changhuan didn't know about Gu Xuanzhan's predicament. She saw that Gu Xuanzhan looked strange and had doubts in her heart. It was a good thing that the Gu family had a twin spirit, so why did the great grandfather sigh? Is there any secret in this?

"Forget it, you can leave." Gu Xuanzhan waved his hand and said.

Gu Changhuan bowed to Gu Xuanzhan. Gu Xuanzhan taught her carefully for half a year, and she couldn't come to visit her every day in the future. She was a little sad for a while.

"Changhuan thanks the great grandfather for his teaching for half a year. Changhuan will come to bother you often in the future. I hope the great grandfather doesn't think Changhuan is noisy."

Gu Xuanzhan helped Gu Changhuan up and was a little moved for a while.

However, he has been cultivating for many years and has seen countless separations and deaths. Naturally, he will not lose his composure. He just sighed that Gu Changhuan is really a child with a very affectionate character.

That night, the Gu family held a family meeting. Gu Wanchang lit the soul lamps of these children one by one, and the twenty-seven children were ranked. These children were all from the eldest generation.

Gu Changhuan suddenly had twelve younger sisters and fifteen younger brothers!

The next day, the teaching hall was bustling with activity.

Twenty-eight children sat down in a classroom in the teaching hall and soon became familiar with each other. Gu Changhuan sat in a corner, feeling flustered.

She was not an ordinary seven-year-old child! Why did she come to the teaching hall with these little rascals?

Gu Changhuan, who had more than thirty years of memory in her past and present lives, felt that she had an inexplicable sense of superiority when she looked at these children.

Gu Changze and Gu Changqing, who were her good friends, were quite mature. Although they were sometimes a little eccentric, they no longer had the childishness of ordinary children. But this bunch of little rascals...

She just saw a little rascal drawing lines on the table with his deskmate...

"It's you, you are a weirdo like your father!"

"I heard he is a wild child! He has no mother!"

The noise broke Gu Changhuan's meditation. She looked up and saw Gu Changcheng surrounded by several children. Gu Changcheng blushed and defended himself.

"I didn't take your things! I didn't even get close to you! You are bullying me!"

It turned out that someone lost something, and somehow they suspected Gu Changcheng.

Gu Changhuan frowned. Was it an accident or was someone targeting Gu Changcheng?

"I believe it wasn't Brother Changcheng who took it! Maybe you lost the things yourself and falsely accused Brother Changcheng!" A little girl in pink stood beside Gu Changcheng and said loudly.

Gu Changhuan also knew this little girl. She was the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Yuqing Town. Her name was Gu Changyue.

It seems that she and Gu Changcheng are quite familiar with each other.

"Gu Changcheng is the poorest among us, why is it not him!" The boy who lost something became even more angry when he saw someone defending Gu Changcheng. He walked to Gu Changcheng and reached out to push Gu Changcheng.

Gu Changcheng was caught off guard and fell backwards. The back of his head was about to hit the corner of the long table.

Gu Changhuan hurriedly stepped forward, waved his sleeves and used his spiritual energy to support Gu Changcheng, preventing Gu Changcheng's head from having close contact with the corner of the table.

"Immortal!"

"Immortal, I didn't mean it! It was Gu Changcheng who stole my things!" The boy who lost something panicked

Gu Changhuan was relieved to see that Gu Changcheng was not injured. That just now consumed a lot of her spiritual power, but fortunately it was safe in the end.

Gu Changcheng didn't know that his head was almost split open, but his face turned pale, and he was obviously frightened.

Gu Changhuan glanced at the boy, and then at the several brothers standing behind the boy. They are all teenagers of seven or eight years old. They are not yet adults, but they can already hurt others with their words.

"You said you lost something and suspected that Gu Changcheng stole it, right?" Gu Changhuan's voice was filled with anger.

"Yes... Changwu said that Gu Changcheng's family is very poor and he might have stolen my jade pendant..." the boy said softly.

"I said it's possible!" a shorter boy said in panic.

"Changcheng, do you have anything to say?" Gu Changhuan ignored Gu Changwu

"I, Gu Changli and I don't live in the same yard. Before entering the classroom, I was with sister Changyue and a few others." Gu Changcheng was still clear-headed.

Gu Changli, who had lost his jade pendant, also reacted at this time. Gu Changcheng did not have the opportunity to steal his things.

He stared at Gu Changwu. If it wasn't for Gu Changwu, he would not have suspected Gu Changcheng.

At this time, the elders of the teaching hall finally arrived.

Gu Shiying had already entered the classroom and found that the atmosphere was a little wrong. He coughed to attract everyone's attention.

"Greetings, elders." Everyone saluted.

"What happened? Changhuan, tell me." The children in this room were all half-familiar faces, and Gu Shiying was only familiar with Gu Changhuan.

"Report to the elder, Gu Changli's brother lost the jade pendant. Gu Changwu and others suspected that Changcheng's brother had stolen it because of his average family background. They had a dispute and Changcheng was almost injured."

Gu Shiying had been in the teaching hall for more than ten years, and he guessed the whole process as soon as he heard it. These guys must have made a big fuss at the time, otherwise Gu Changcheng would not have turned pale.

Family strife is never a trivial matter. His face turned cold, "Who were the ones who made trouble at the time? Stand up yourself!"

This time, Gu Changli and others turned pale. They will not be sent home, right?

Gu Changhuan looked at her nose and eyes, and since the elders came, she naturally had nothing to do. As for those boys, Gu Shiying would definitely not let them go, but he would not punish them too harshly.

In the end, including Gu Changli, a total of four teenagers stood up.

"Changli, do you know you are wrong?"

"I know I am wrong. I shouldn't doubt others without reason, let alone take action." Gu Changli lowered his head. He didn't know what was going on, and he easily believed Gu Changwu's twisted logic.

"Since you know you are wrong, I will punish you to copy the Book of Rites and the Clan Rules ten times, and hand them in to me within a week. The three of you will each copy five times, and hand them in within a week. As for the jade pendant you lost... is it this one?"

Gu Shiying scanned the classroom with his spiritual sense and found a jade pendant under the long table. He grabbed it out of thin air and the jade pendant was in his hand.

"Yes! It's this jade pendant! Thank you, elder!" Gu Changli was overjoyed. It seemed that this jade pendant was very important to him.

Gu Changli, who had put away the jade pendant, turned around and apologized to Gu Changcheng, "Brother Changcheng, I was wrong. I shouldn't have suspected you casually and pushed you. I hope you won't bear grudges..."

Gu Changcheng obviously didn't expect Gu Changli to apologize to him. His father taught him to be kind to others, so he forgave Gu Changli without much hesitation.

Gu Shiying saw Gu Changli apologize to Gu Changcheng and nodded. The boy is teachable.

But, did the children in Changwu deliberately target Gu Changcheng? Gu Shiying couldn't make a decision. After all, they were only seven or eight years old, and it was impossible to punish them too severely.

Pay more attention to it in the future!

Gu Changhuan came to Gu Shiying after studying in the teaching hall for a few days

"It's Changhuan! What's the matter with me?" Gu Shiying said with a smile.

"My elder, I have already learned everything taught in the teaching hall. It's probably a waste of time to learn it again. So I want to continue studying in the Baiyi Division under the jurisdiction of the teaching hall." Gu Changhuan said truthfully.

"So that's it. I was negligent. Changhuan, you have studied in the great elder's Sutra Pavilion for half a year. Now staying in the teaching hall is indeed a waste of time. In this case, you should go directly to the Hundred Arts Department tomorrow!" Gu Shiying nodded and agreed to this matter.

The Hundred Arts Department is where the Gu family members learn the hundred arts of cultivating immortals. It is free for clansmen under the age of 20. If clansmen over the age of 20 want to study in the Hundred Arts Department, they have to pay a certain amount of contribution points or spirit stones.

Gu Changhuan's first choice is naturally alchemy.

The reason! Naturally, it is because Gu Changhuan's grandfather Gu Wanhao is the first alchemist in the Gu family!

Moreover, in the past six months, Gu Changhuan has read the Danjing and Pharmacopoeia, and has a preliminary understanding of alchemy.

There are six steps in alchemy: preparing medicine, warming the furnace, quenching the spirit, melting the spirit, condensing the pill, and storing the pill. Among them, the preparation of medicine does not require the alchemist to do it himself, and the rest of the steps require the alchemist to concentrate on the operation. If someone disturbs the process of refining the elixir, it is very likely that the elixir furnace will be destroyed!

Spiritual pills are also divided into grades. For example, the Yangqi Pill distributed by the family is a first-grade middle-grade spiritual pill. It helps to speed up the cultivation speed of cultivators below the middle stage of Qi training. There are five Yangqi Pills in a bottle. In the market, a bottle of Yangqi Pill can be sold for twenty spiritual stones.

However, although the spiritual pill is good, it has elixir poison. If a cultivator is greedy for the magical effect of the spiritual pill and consumes too much spiritual pill, the elixir poison accumulated in the body will become more and more, and it will be difficult to break through and fall into a bottleneck.

However, the elixir poison cannot prevent alchemy from becoming one of the most profitable industries. After all, most cultivators are not rich enough to consume spiritual pills every day to improve their cultivation.

The Gu family is famous for alchemy, and the Baiyi Division of the family must be very lively.

On the way to the Baiyi Division, Gu Changhuan kept recalling the knowledge she had learned about alchemy. She couldn't lose her grandfather's face! After taking a deep breath, she pushed open the door of the Baiyi Division.

I saw a family monk lying on the cabinet, snoring loudly and sleeping soundly.
