Weird cultivation of immortality starts with possessing a mysterious book

"I wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years, and have a precious son soon."

……

"Uncle Zhuang, these pills are given to you. I wish you success in practicing Qi as soon as possible."

……

"Team Niu, I give this magic weapon to you. It is recommended that you use your magic weapon sparingly. I think you must have lost a lot of life during that market trip, right?"

……

"Uncle Yu, I have some exercises and Taoist techniques here that are 'friendly gifts' from some friends. Although the levels are not high, they can increase the survival rate of the brothers in the escort team."

……

"Taoist Master Xun, you should be practicing earth-attribute exercises. I have some unused earth-attribute cultivation resources that I have given to you."

……

"Goodbye."

Gu Xing looked back at the village behind him.

Under the slightly warm sunshine, the smoke is rising, and the green branches and leaves of the poplar trees are swaying.

At this time, they should have just returned home from the river to cook.

With this thought flashing through his mind, Gu Xing shook his head and no longer missed it.

The farewells that need to be done have been done, and the things that need to be given have been given.

Almost all of those elixirs, resources, and techniques were ripped from corpses. They were all of little use to him and could only be sold for money.

But these are rare and precious items for the villagers.

However, he did not retain the slightly higher level Kung Fu and Taoism. This was not because he cherished the broom, but because those things were not an opportunity but a scourge for a small village.

Although there are laws in Dazhou, there are always outlaws.

Therefore, even the magic weapon given to Niu Dui was an inferior magic weapon obtained from Wen Xi.

Although it is valuable, it is not so easy to be coveted.

There were several magic weapons left by Wen Xi, but only one or two were usable. Almost all of them were destroyed in the battle. Most of the rest were inferior magic weapons used for practicing, and their power may not be as powerful as Gu Xing's fist. It is high, so it can only be sold for money or given away.

Not caring about what he was doing, Gu Xing got on the carriage and drove the carriage south while taking out the map Qingyue gave him.

Walking south from Niuben Village, you will pass five cities and the territories they control.

At the end of the journey, there is Zhennanguan, one of the twelve border passes in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Gu Xing made preliminary calculations based on his current speed. It would take at least three months to reach Zhennanguan. This was assuming everything went well and there were no other delays.

Then he made a rough estimate of the speed at which he would become strange. With his current level of cultivation, black marks would spread all over his body in about half a year.

In other words, he cannot be delayed on the road for more than three months.

If it takes a long time, unless he can advance or find a way to delay or even solve the strange transformation, he can probably use the talisman given by Scholar Ji to kill him.

However, although the situation seemed serious, Gu Xing did not have too many worries in his heart.

After experiencing several battles, his cultivation was almost stable.

And next, you can also practice while traveling.

With abundant resources and sufficient energy, he might be able to reach the peak of foundation building in less than a month.

Thinking like this, Gu Xing closed his eyes.

……

A month later.

In the territory of Huacheng, there is a magnificent manor located on a hill.

Not far outside the manor, several people watched warily but did not move.

There were four men and two women in total, and they were obviously dressed like raven hunters.

"Why is there a manor here?"

"No need to ask, something strange must have happened."

"But what weirdness could turn into a manor?"

"Spirit species? Regular species? Who knows?"

"Stop talking, let's leave in another direction." said the calmest man in the team. He is the captain of this team, named Chen Xu.

"Listen to the captain... wait, look, what is that?" Suddenly, someone pointed in the direction of the manor and shouted.

"what?"

"Is there someone there?"

"How can there be people here? It must be weird!"

"Be vigilant and prepare for battle!" Chen Xu shouted to end the argument, and everyone clenched their weapons.

At this moment, right in front of them, the door of the manor suddenly opened and a man walked out.

The man was dressed rather nondescriptly. He was wearing a plain white robe, but he had no crown on his head, and his long hair was tied casually into a ponytail and fell behind his head.

The long sleeves of the Taoist robe were rolled up, revealing strong arms.

On his legs, he wears a pair of leather boots. Although the material is good, the style is incompatible with the Taoist robes on his body.

This man's appearance also looks very good. Although he cannot be called handsome, he is still handsome. Especially when you look closely, he has a charm that becomes more and more attractive the more you look at him.

In particular, he was holding an exaggerated blood-stained long knife in his hand, which added a wild beauty to his extraordinary temperament.

And just after he walked out of the manor, the huge manor instantly turned into light and shadow. The light and shadow stagnated in the air for a moment, and finally poured into a piece of blood-stained yellow paper held in his other hand.

"What, what happened?" Someone looked at this sudden scene and was stunned with shock.

"Is this person weird or human? Why can't I seem to feel his presence?"

"Where is the magic amulet? Does the magic amulet react?"

"He, he, he's coming towards us."

"Quiet."

Chen Xu shouted to everyone and went to greet them.

This man was coming towards them. It was not a good idea to run away at this time, so it was better to face him directly.

Even if there is a problem, everyone can gather their strength to resist.

Before he could speak, he saw the seemingly powerful man in front of him bowing to him.

He hurriedly returned the courtesy and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner.

"I've met this friend. My name is Chen Xu. Is there anything you need my help with?"

"My name is Gu Xing."

Gu Xing smiled and then continued.

"May I ask if the Huacheng Market is nearby?"

"The market is about dozens of kilometers away from here."

"Tens of kilometers...it seems like it's quite far off this time."

Gu Xing thought to himself, and then continued to ask.

"I wonder if some of you have any plans to go back to the market. If so, I can go with you."

There are no such things as landmarks in this world. Once you deviate from the original route, even if you have a map, you can only stare at it, not knowing where you are unless you find a reference.

After listening to Gu Xing's request, Chen Xu was silent for a moment, thinking about the pros and cons.

And at the end, a smile appeared on his face.

"Of course, we were planning to go back to the market."

In fact, they have only been out for a day...

But facing Gu Xing, who was obviously stronger than them, the itinerary had to be changed.

Gu Xing naturally saw the reluctance in Chen Xu's smile, but he didn't say much and just said thank you.

Then, he followed him to the crowd.

Chen Xu introduced him to everyone. Although he still had a smile on his face, there was a hint of caution in his words.

Gu Xing still didn't care and just greeted them one by one.

After chatting casually for a while and getting acquainted with each other, someone asked him.

"What happened to the manor just now?"
