Chapter 101: Jade Song
Snowy Mountain blessed land.
Third branch peak.
"Just now, this lucky escape was truly thanks to you. If Old Ancestor Xue Hu found out, even I would not be able to preserve Little Lan's life." In the secret room, Fairy Li Shan spoke to Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng, expressing her gratitude.
"The situation was really dangerous, we were trying to guess why you missed the auction." Tai Bai Yun Sheng said while sighing.
"Oh!" Fairy Li Shan sighed: "I did not think that a dream realm could become a calamity. Do you have any ways to save Little Lan?"
Tai Bai Yun Sheng shook his head, looking at Fang Yuan who was beside him.
Fang Yuan said solemnly: "It's difficult! The dream calamity's target is Hei Lou Lan, Fairy Li Shan, you were only pulled in because you touched her. Thus, I just had to hurt you and make you feel pain. But Hei Lou Lan is deep inside the dream realm, even if you kill her, she will not awaken."
Fairy Li Shan's eyes shined with hope: "It's only 'difficult', that does not mean it is impossible, Fang Yuan, it seems you have a plan!"
Fang Yuan chuckled: "Hei Lou Lan is fortunate, I obtained a Gu in the auction that can form a dream path killer move to resolve this problem. But to form the killer move, the core Immortal Gu is not enough, I need the assistance of many mortal Gu."
Fairy Li Shan was overjoyed, saying: "I can help with that, what refinement materials do you need to refine Gu, just tell me, I can satisfy that request!"
But Fang Yuan shook his head: "These dream path mortal Gu refinement materials can only be found in dream realms. Refining dream path Gu is different from other paths, the entire process needs me to execute it personally."
"So dream path has such specifications." Fairy Li Shan blinked, this was the first time she had heard such news.
Because of the Snowy Mountain Alliance, Fairy Li Shan did not doubt Fang Yuan's words. But deep inside, she saw Fang Yuan in a different light again.
"Fang Yuan is truly an impressive junior, it is almost as if he has a method to solve any problem. Earlier, he developed the airsac Gu to hold the guts Gu. Now, he even has such research in dream path. This is not something a lone cultivator can come up with, it seems his background is not simple after all."
Fairy Li Shan was thinking over it when Fang Yuan spoke again: "Fairy, you know that my nature is straightforward, I like to talk openly and not beat about the bush. If I can save you both, what compensation will I get?"
Fairy Li Shan's eyes rolled, she was long since familiar with Fang Yuan's personality, she was not surprised, she smiled: "The favor of saving a life is as heavy as a mountain. Fang Yuan, how many immortal essence stones or Immortal Gu recipes do you want, or even immortal materials, just tell me."
Fang Yuan raised his head: "I do not want anything else, what I have in mind is Hei Lou Lan's Slavery Gu and strength qi Gu. Two lives for two Gu."
Fairy Li Shan's smile vanished without a trace: "These two Immortal Gu are Little Lan's core Gu worms. A gentleman would not take what others love, Fang Yuan, this condition is a little too harsh."
Fang Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Are both of your lives not even as valuable as two Gu worms?"
"That is not accurate." Fairy Li Shan shook her head: "Even if we were discovered, only Little Lan would be in danger, I would be fine. In fact, when Little Lan gets into trouble, you two would be implicated too. We are on the same boat now, helping us is also the same as helping yourselves."
Fang Yuan smiled, nodding in agreement: "Fairy makes perfect sense, I am full of admiration. Forget my previous condition, I will go prepare now. I promise you, within three to five years, I can surely save Hei Lou Lan! I have to go now."
Saying this, Fang Yuan stood up and was ready to leave.
Fairy Li Shan felt a huge headache, she stood up and urged him: "Wait, Fang Yuan, we can discuss this."
"What does fairy have to enlighten me with? I am all ears!" Fang Yuan's attitude was very modest, he spoke very humbly.
"Oh, Fang Yuan, don't act like this. These two Immortal Gu do not belong to me, I cannot promise you anything." Fairy Li Shan sighed deeply as she said this.
Fang Yuan showed an understanding expression: "That's right, I find this condition overboard too, pretend I never said it. Fairy is right, Slavery and Strength Qi are very important Immortal Gu to Hei Lou Lan, how can you decide for her? Never mind, we are allies, I will definitely help her.
But you need to know, refining dream path Gu worms is very troublesome because it takes a long time and I need to do a lot of preparation. During this period of time, fairy can try to find other ways to save Hei Lou Lan. Although my method will definitely succeed, it will take a long time. In this time period, if Hei Lou Lan is discovered by others, that would be bad.
But thankfully, Tai Bai Yun Sheng and I are in Central Continent, even if anything happens to Hei Lou Lan, we will act as good allies and avenge her."
These words made Fairy Li Shan roll her eyes in anger.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was laughing madly deep in his mind, he did not forget to add in: "Speaking of the alliance, we have about two years left. Once the time is up, and Hei Lou Lan is still unconscious, how would we continue the agreement? Oh, this is a troublesome matter."
"You two!" Fairy Li Shan was furious.
Seeing that Fang Yuan was unwilling to relent, she had no better option but to take a step back, breathing in deeply before saying: "Never mind, maybe we simply had bad luck. I will do it your way, two Immortal Gu.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was moved, gasping: "Hei Lou Lan is truly blessed to have fairy as her aunt."
Fairy Li Shan smiled bitterly, looking at Fang Yuan. She knew that although Tai Bai Yun Sheng was Fang Yuan's senior brother, Fang Yuan was the leader between them.
"Alright, I will listen to fairy. Fang Yuan spoke with a smile.
Thus, they formed a new agreement.
Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng immediately returned to Hu Immortal blessed land, trying to refine the various dream path mortal Gu, to form the immortal killer move and save Hei Lou Lan.
Meanwhile, Fairy Li Shan rushed to the first peak of Snowy Mountain.
Before going, Fairy Li Shan said with a look of concern, urging Fang Yuan: "I am only leaving Little Lan here temporarily, the third peak is not safe, Fang Yuan, I hope you can do your best, the longer this drags on, the more dangerous it gets. If Little Lan is in trouble, you will not be safe either!"
...
Northern Plains.
"This, this immortal killer move is called green jade song?" Qin Bai Sheng raised his head and looked at Feng Jiu Ge, speaking as he spat out blood.
His blood was no longer red, it had turned into an eerie green.
Meanwhile, there was a jade will emitting from Qin Bai Sheng's body. Not only were his clothes turned into jade, half of his hair had turned jade too. Even most of his skin had frozen into jade. The blood in his body could not flow smoothly, there was the contaminated jade blood in his body. Qin Bai Sheng was now trying to get them out of his body.
Thankfully, his organs and intestines were protected by his defensive immortal killer move, they managed to resist the green jade song.
After personally witnessing the process of Qin Bai Sheng losing to one attack, the remaining Central Continent Gu Immortals had a grim expression, their gazes towards Feng Jiu Ge were full of wariness.
Feng Jiu Ge floated in the air, looking at Qin Bai Sheng as he said with a tone of admiration: "That's right, this is my own creation, green jade song, it can convert everything into jade. You were able to resist it for fifteen minutes, that is very rare. Alright, you are truly strong and courageous, it is too much of a pity if you die here, searching your soul is too disrespectful too.
How about this, I will ask you a few questions, just answer me truthfully."
The Central Continent Gu Immortals heard Feng Jiu Ge's words and felt some surprise. This was not in line with their earlier plans.
"Lord Feng Jiu Ge."
"Qin Bai Sheng is a Northern Plains expert, if you let him go so easily, you might be leaving behind a future danger."
"This person could resist green jade song for fifteen minutes, he is a strong adversary and a lone cultivator, why don't we…"
Feng Jiu Ge waved his hand: "I have already made up my mind, there is no need to say anything else. Old Oracle, I will need you to use the killer move, gentleman's bamboo."
Facing Feng Jiu Ge's firm attitude and insistence, the Central Continent Gu Immortals were silent.
Old Oracle breathed in deeply, walking out towards the center of the battlefield.
He stretched out his fist from his wide sleeve, opening his five fingers as a colorless crystal bamboo grew out of his palm.
"My immortal killer move, gentleman's bamboo, uses the rank six Immortal Gu Bamboo Gentleman as the core, with six hundred and sixty mortal Gu complementing it, it is used specially for detecting lies. Even though the core Immortal Gu is rank six, this killer move can work against rank seven Gu Immortals. But against rank eight, it will not be effective."
"I lost to one move, Feng Jiu Ge, you are really amazing. My skill was inferior, I admit my defeat, ask away. But you can only ask three questions." Qin Bai Sheng said.
"You!" A few Central Continent Gu Immortals were unhappy, they frowned as they emitted killing intent.
Feng Jiu Ge smiled: "No problem, three questions are enough."
"Ask quickly, I have no time to waste." Qin Bai Sheng spat out the last mouthful of jade blood, regaining a bit of his grandeur.
"The first question, who is the person who sold these Immortal Gu, Delight in Water and Mountain and Worldly Wave Trace?"
Qin Bai Sheng was stunned, he imagined Fang Yuan's appearance, feeling sour and bitter within: Sha Huang, oh Sha Huang, you were the one who brought harm to your brother!
Thoughts flashed across his mind as Qin Bai Sheng replied plainly without hesitating: "This seller is called Sha Huang, he is an immortal zombie."
"Sha Huang… immortal zombie…" Feng Jiu Ge muttered: "Continue speaking."
Qin Bai Sheng continued: "I only met this person recently, because I used my rank six luck inspection Immortal Gu and saw that this person's luck was greater than normal, I befriended him. This person has a mysterious origin, it seems he has a backer. In this auction, he sold thirteen Gu Immortal captives. Among them, there was a rank seven Gu Immortal, Rushing Thunder Hand Wu Hao.
Furthermore, he has a close relationship with Fairy Li Shan, that is all I know."
Feng Jiu Ge looked at Qin Bai Sheng, then turning around to look at Old Oracle.
The colorless bamboo in Old Oracle's hands was swaying without a trace of a change in color. This proved that Qin Bai Sheng's words were all truthful.
Thus, Feng Jiu Ge continued to ask: "The second question is regarding the collapse of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, tell me all that you know."
Qin Bai Sheng heard this and his expression became very ugly.
An hour later, the Central Continent Gu Immortals watched as Qin Bai Sheng flew into the sky, becoming a small black dot as he vanished from their vision.
One of them was not satisfied: "Lord Feng Jiu Ge, are we really letting him off? He has so many Immortal Gu with him, he even has almost half of the immortal materials traded in the auction!"
Feng Jiu Ge shook his head: "It is not that I do not want to strike, but I found out that he has a method to detonate his soul, just the aura of it alone is terrifying. If we force him, he will probably drag a few of you down with him. By then, our plan to get information would fail."
"It's actually like this?!" The Gu Immortals were uncertain.
Feng Jiu Ge said with deep meaning: "Look at this colorless crystal bamboo, you can tell if I lied."
Everyone kept quiet.
Old Oracle smiled sheepishly, retracting his immortal killer move.
He changed the subject: "Thanks to Lord Feng Jiu Ge, we obtained these clues, it will really help in deducing the true culprit."
Feng Jiu Ge nodded: "We will split into two groups now, one will protect Old Oracle and let him deduce in peace. The other will follow me and go to Northern Plains Zombie Alliance, finding out news about Sha Huang. If Sha Huang is a member inside Zombie Alliance, we will capture him on the spot, that would be the best outcome."
The Central Continent Gu Immortals listened to him, they split into two groups and retreated rapidly.
