Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 1409

Chapter 1409: Chapter 728: Fulfilling the Promise (2)

Earlier, his spiritual power briefly ascended to the Eighth Grade, and though it has now fallen to the Fourth Grade, his Sea of Consciousness has been permanently broadened under the "Spiritual Unity" state.

This means that before he reaches the Peak of Seventh Grade, he’ll no longer face bottleneck limitations—such an opportunity would drive any Alchemist mad.

"Let’s first rescue the Great Pavilion Master."

Gu pointed to the jade box.

"We’ll discuss other matters once the crisis is resolved."

Tantai Xueling nodded solemnly, waving her delicate hand to put away the jade box. Before leaving, she suddenly turned around.

"Master..."

The word seemed inappropriate as soon as it left her mouth, her ears tinged slightly red.

"If Gu, in the future, has some free time, could you guide me in the Alchemy Dao?"

"Calling me Master isn’t a problem either."

Gu rarely felt the urge to tease.

"After all, imparting knowledge and mentoring is a bond between a teacher and a disciple."

Tantai Xueling glared at him, then transformed into an ice-blue tunneling light disappearing into the sky.

Gu watched her departure, with a slight smile on his lips.

This Third Pavilion Master seemed cold as ice on the surface but was, in fact, adorably naive.

Drawing back his thoughts, Gu’s expression gradually became serious.

Recently, he was preparing to openly separate from the Emperor Sect, requiring a plan in advance. Although he did not have deep feelings for the Emperor Sect, he had operated within it for years, and some Dark Agents still needed arrangement.

The Transmission Array of the Heaven City in Great Wilderness City, runes flickered.

Gu had just stepped out of the Array when he was surrounded by five Martial Artists in black attires.

They bore the emblem of the Great Wilderness Holy Academy on their chests, their aura ranged from the Peak of Xuanwu Realm to the Early Stage of Earth Martial Realm.

"Who are you?"

The leader asked in a deep voice.

"Linyin Pavilion Great Sacrificial Officer, Gu."

Gu showed the token, upon which the words "Linyin" glimmered brightly in dark gold.

"Please convey the message to the Outer Court Junior Sister Xu."

Their expressions changed. Recently, who in Great Wilderness City hadn’t heard that the newly appointed Linyin Pavilion Great Sacrificial Officer, also the Third Pavilion Master, was a formidable character? Rumor had it that even the genius of the Shen Family suffered a hidden loss.

"Please wait, Officer Gu."

The leader’s attitude was much more respectful, indicating his companions to go and send word.

Gu stood with his hands behind his back, eyes scanning the plaza. As expected, no one from the Lu Family appeared.

Since the news of his becoming the Linyin Pavilion Great Sacrificial Officer spread, those hidden sprites and goblins had restrained themselves quite a bit.

Even a proud inner courtyard prodigy like Shen Qingyun dared not act openly, let alone the Lu Family entrenched in the Outer Court.

About a quarter-hour later, a figure in green hurried over.

Xu Lingsu still donned a simple green robe, but the Protective Gang Qi faintly emanating around her showed that she had broken through to the Xuanwu Realm.

"Senior Brother Gu!"

Xu Lingsu’s eyes flashed with delight, quickly suppressed, and she greeted respectfully. After all, people from the Holy Academy were present.

Gu examined her.

"First Level of Xuanwu Realm? Not bad progress."

Xu Lingsu pursed her lips and smiled.

"I can’t compare to Senior Brother Gu. I heard you..."

She lowered her voice.

"Have become the Third Pavilion Master of Linyin Pavilion?"

Gu was noncommittal.

"Please contact City Lord Xu, I’d like to meet three days later in Great Wilderness City regarding the Emperor Sect."

Xu Lingsu’s expression turned serious, and she nodded solemnly.

"I will send a message right away."

She hesitated for a moment.

"Is Senior Brother Gu planning to..."

"Separate from the Emperor Sect."

Gu said it nonchalantly, which made Xu Lingsu draw a sharp breath.

Leaving a sect is a major taboo on the Mystic Sky Continent.

Seemingly perceiving her concern, Gu added.

"I will walk away openly, not implicate you all."

Xu Lingsu hastily replied.

"That’s not what I mean! It’s just..."

She bit her lip.

"Do you need help? My father still has connections in Great Wilderness City."

Gu felt a warmth in his heart. Though he was accustomed to being alone in his past life, he had several genuine allies in this one.

"No need, everything is in place."

He paused.

"How has Ningshuang been lately?"

"Senior Sister Gu was favored by a Heavenly Martial Realm tutor; they say she has reached the Fifth Level of Xuanwu Realm."

Xu Lingsu’s eyes revealed envy.

"She went out for training with the tutor recently."

Gu nodded slightly.

"During last month’s training, Senior Sister Ningshuang tried to find a chance to visit Senior Brother Gu..."

She whispered to herself, absentmindedly rubbing the jade pendant at her waist with her fingers.
