Chapter 188: Conversation with Yun Shan
Inside the cave, night pearls were embedded in the walls, providing a faint light in the originally pitch-blaack environment.
In the middle of the cave, an old man in white robes was sitting cross-legged.
A rich blood aura enveloped Yun Shan, and a strange atmosphere permeated the cave.
Yun Shan formed peculiar hand seals, constantly refining the blood aura around him.
With each strand of blood aura refined, Yun Shan's aura became increasingly terrifying and eerie.
"Hehehe!"
At this moment, a piercing laughter suddenly echoed in the cave.
Following the laughter, a strange black mist suddenly appeared inside the cave.
Upon hearing the laughter, Yun Shan instantly opened his eyes. Displeasure flashed in his cloudy eyes, but he quickly concealed it, restoring a calm expression to his face.
"Wuhu Guardian has suddenly arrived. I wonder what orders you have?" Yun Shan suppressed the discontent in his heart, making his tone sound somewhat respectful.
"Hehehe!"
The grating laughter echoed in the cave, and the black mist surged. Then, the figure of "Wuhu Guardian" appeared, and his voice was hoarse as he said, "Yun Shan, how is your breakthrough going?"
This old man was none other than Yun Shan, the current Sect Master of Yunlan Sect!
'If it weren't for this persistent guy disturbing me, I would have broken through recently.'
Yun Shan cursed the "Wuhu Guardian" in front of him in his heart but quickly concealed it. He regained a calm expression on his face.
"Reporting to Wuhu Guardian, give me a little more time. I will definitely be able to break through to the Dou Ancestor realm."
"Very well!"
Upon hearing this, "Wuhu Guardian" nodded, his voice hoarse as he said, "I hope you won't disappoint me."
Yun Shan immediately respectfully said, "Please rest assured, Wuhu Guardian. I will definitely not let you down."
"Wuhu Guardian" did not say more and directly stated, "I came here this time to explain some matters to you."
Upon hearing this, Yun Shan's heart tightened. "Sure enough, there's no such thing as a free lunch. This guy is already asking for a return even before I break through to the Dou Ancestor realm."
Although displeased in his heart, Yun Shan still maintained a submissive demeanor on his face. "Please instruct, Wuhu Guardian. As long as it's something I can do, I will definitely do my best."
"Wuhu Guardian" nodded, his voice hoarse as he said, "After today, I will be leaving the Northwestern region for a while."
Upon hearing this, Yun Shan was momentarily surprised, followed by great joy.
This persistent guy is finally leaving.
Although he had only met the person in front of him a few times, Yun Shan was extremely wary of the Wuhu Guardian.
This person's origins were extremely mysterious, appearing and disappearing without a trace.
Up until now, Yun Shan still didn't know the other party's true identity. The only thing he could confirm was that the other party came from the legendary Central Continent and belonged to an extremely powerful force, with unpredictable strength.
In the beginning, when the other party proposed the so-called transaction, Yun Shan had considered it repeatedly and hesitated for a long time before daring to respond.
Seeing that the end of his lifespan was approaching, even though he understood that cooperating with this person was akin to making a deal with a tiger, Yun Shan had no choice but to compromise.
As long as he could break through to the Dou Ancestor realm, at least he could maintain Yunlan Sect's transcendent position in the Gamma Empire.
If he were to die, the vast Yunlan Sect would inevitably decline and even face extinction!
For the future of Yunlan Sect, Yun Shan had no choice but to embark on this "irreversible path."
Regarding Yun Shan's thoughts, "Wuhu Guardian" naturally had no knowledge. He just said, "Before I leave, I have the first task for you: collect a large quantity of sixth-grade spiritual herbs, regardless of the type, the more, the better."
"Wuhu Guardian" scrutinized Yun Shan, observing the blood-colored aura swirling around him. He speculated silently, "This should be the effect of taking Blood Soul Pills, right?
"I wonder, what kind of feeling does he have when he knows he's already under the blood curse?"
"Collect a large quantity of sixth-grade spiritual herbs?"
"Regardless of the type?"
"And the more, the better?"
"This guy really thinks sixth-grade spiritual herbs are as common as cabbages!"
Hearing "Wuhu Guardian's" instructions, Yun Shan was slightly stunned, a bit puzzled. Why would this guy want to collect sixth-grade spiritual herbs? Was it for alchemy?
After hesitating for a moment, Yun Shan showed a troubled expression. "Wuhu Guardian, sixth-grade spiritual herbs are extremely precious. With Yunlan Sect's strength, I'm afraid we won't be able to gather many..."
Seeing this, Gu He smirked inwardly. It seemed that without offering some benefits, this old Sect Master wouldn't obediently comply.
Thinking of this, "Wuhu Guardian" took out a jade bottle from his spatial ring and gently opened it. A rich vitality instantly overflowed from the bottle.
Then, "Wuhu Guardian" held the jade bottle and said hoarsely, "This item is called the Longevity Bead. When consumed by a Emperor-level expert, it can increase their lifespan by two hundred years. When consumed by a Dou Ancestor, it can increase their lifespan by one hundred years. I promise that as long as you gather twenty sixth-grade spiritual herbs, I will bestow upon you a Longevity Bead."
"Longevity Bead!"
"Increase one hundred years of lifespan for a Dou Ancestor!"
Hearing "Wuhu Guardian's" words, Yun Shan's face revealed a look of shock.
Subsequently, he also sensed the rich vitality emanating from the jade bottle, gradually believing in the words of "Wuhu Guardian."
"Is what Wuhu Guardian said true?"
Yun Shan's eyes showed excitement, and he asked in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Gu He maintained an unchanged expression, his voice hoarse as he said, "Does this Guardian lie to you?"
"I didn't mean that..."
Seeing signs of "Wuhu Guardian" getting angry, Yun Shan's heart skipped a beat, hastily reassuring, "Wuhu Guardian, rest assured, I will do my best to find enough sixth-grade spiritual herbs for you."
"Wuhu Guardian" at this point showed a hint of relief and said indifferently, "As long as you focus on doing things for this Guardian, this Guardian will not treat you unfairly."
Yun Shan nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, yes!"
"Wuhu Guardian" said, "This Guardian is leaving."
The moment the words fell, "Wuhu Guardian" directly transformed into a black mist and disappeared into the cave.
"Longevity Bead..."
"There is actually such a treasure in the world!"
"If I can get it, perhaps there is still hope for a breakthrough in the future."
After "Wuhu Guardian" left, various thoughts flashed through Yun Shan's mind.
"It seems that I need to find an opportunity to come out and let Yun Er mobilize the entire Yunlan Sect to collect sixth-grade spiritual herbs."
With a decision in his mind, Yun Shan continued to sit cross-legged, absorbing the energy of the Blood Soul Pill in his body.
Soon, the blood-colored energy once again spread in the cave.
...
After "Wuhu Guardian" left the cave, when he reappeared, he had returned to Gu He's courtyard.
Then, "Wuhu Guardian" closed the power of the Soul Palace. In the next moment, his aura and appearance changed rapidly.
Soon, "Wuhu Guardian" disappeared, leaving behind a refined figure in white clothes – Gu He!
