Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 160: Xue Qiyang, the Lord of the Reward and Punishment Hall, and the Hidden Currents within the Sect

"Alright, say whatever you want."

"But remember, don't casually mention this man in front of Elder Xue Qiyang."

"Otherwise, you'll definitely be in big trouble, understand?"

Tang Jie's face turned serious as he warned his fellow disciples.

"Elder Xue Qiyang? I remember now. He was the number one disciple of the previous Sect Master, hailed as the most likely candidate to become the next Sect Leader after the Sect Master himself."

"He's only 120 years old, but his cultivation has already reached the mid-stage of Foundation Building. He's also regarded as the most hopeful candidate for Core Formation in our Immortal Mist Sect."

Someone suddenly recalled the matter regarding Elder Xue Qiyang.

"Not only that, he and Master Leng Yuxi were once known as the golden boy and jade girl of the Immortal Mist Sect. Although Master Leng Yuxi's talent is terrifying, having reached the perfect stage of Foundation Building at the age of only 80, far surpassing Elder Xue Qiyang."

"Even the previous Sect Master intended to match them together, but unfortunately, Master Leng Yuxi rejected it."

"But even so, Elder Xue Qiyang didn't give up and continued to pursue her relentlessly."

"But who could have expected that Master Leng Yuxi would return this time?"

"Not only did she succeed in Core Formation, she even brought back a Dao companion."

"Now Elder Xue Qiyang is definitely going crazy."

A female disciple of the Immortal Mist Sect suddenly realized, understanding why Tang Jie had warned them like that.

This matter is definitely a taboo for Elder Xue Qiyang.

If they accidentally mentioned Zhou Sui's matter in front of Elder Xue Qiyang, they would definitely suffer.

"It seems like you all understand."

"Although Elder Xue Qiyang wouldn't dare say anything in front of the Sect Master, even if he's unwilling."

"But dealing with us Qi Refining disciples is a piece of cake, isn't it?"

"So you all need to be careful and not attract Elder Xue Qiyang's attention."

Tang Jie said in a deep voice.

"We understand this, we definitely won't leak any information."

"But speaking of it, Elder Xue Qiyang has pursued the Sect Master for so many years without success."

"He even spent a lot of effort and money."

"In the end, he was taken advantage of by an outsider, an Independent Cultivator. He must be furious now."

Someone gloated.

...

At this moment, on a peak of the Immortal Mist Sect.

In fact, there are thousands of peaks within the sect. Basically, when one reaches the Foundation Building stage, they have the qualification to choose a peak as their own cultivation place.

Xue Qiyang was no exception. As a mid-stage Foundation Building elder, he was also the personal disciple of the previous Sect Master and the Lord of the Reward and Punishment Hall. He had chosen the best peaks with extremely rich spiritual energy.

"Lord Xue, I wonder what you think of the man brought back by the Sect Master?"

The one speaking was Luo Dingtian, the Lord of the Refining Hall of the Immortal Mist Sect. He was a late-stage Foundation Building cultivator, 190 years old, and could be considered one of the oldest Foundation Building cultivators.

He was also Xue Qiyang's long-time rival.

"Hmph, what's there to see? He's just an Independent Cultivator."

"A mere Inferior Spirit Root, he might not even succeed in Foundation Building. He's not worth mentioning."

Xue Qiyang sneered.

This bastard just had to bring up Zhou Sui, everyone knew that it was his taboo.

All those Qi Refining disciples were silent, not daring to mention this matter in front of him.

But Luo Dingtian, as the Lord of the Refining Hall and a late-stage Foundation Building cultivator, didn't care about such things at all.

On the contrary, he deliberately mentioned it in front of him, clearly intending to embarrass him.

"Is that so? It is said that he is a Rank Two Pill Master. With the Sect Master's help, it's a sure thing that he will obtain a high-quality Foundation Building Pill. Becoming a Foundation Building cultivator will be almost certain."

"By then, he will have a lifespan of 250 years and can spend more than 200 years together with the Sect Master."

"They truly are a fairy couple, enviable."

Luo Dingtian chuckled and continued to sprinkle salt on Xue Qiyang's wound.

"Luo Dingtian, are you tired of living?"

"Do you want to have a fight with me?!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Qiyang couldn't hold back anymore, completely losing his composure and couldn't help but curse.

A deep killing intent emanated from him as he burst towards Luo Dingtian.

Although he was only at the mid-stage of Foundation Building, he was skilled in combat and his fighting power was no less than that of someone in the late-stage of combat.

That's why he was able to become the Lord of the Reward and Punishment Hall.

"Why get angry?"

"Weren't you just saying that you didn't care at all?"

Luo Dingtian laughed heartily, clearly delighted to see his archenemy lose his composure.

After all, this guy was deep-minded and had a profound city.

If he hadn't really touched his sore spot, he wouldn't have this expression.

"Shut up."

"This is a Dao companion personally chosen by the Sect Master. Neither you nor I have any say in it."

"Whether you like it or not, he is the Sect Master's Dao companion."

"I, Xue Qiyang, have nothing to say about it."

Xue Qiyang clenched his fist, staring fixedly at Luo Dingtian.

It seemed that if the other party dared to continue provoking him, even if it meant breaking the rules of the sect, he would personally take action.

"Don't you want to get rid of this kid?"

Luo Dingtian looked at Xue Qiyang with a smile that wasn't a smile, seemingly trying to see through the other's thoughts.

"I have no desires."

"Now I only want to pursue the path of longevity and succeed in Core Formation."

"Other than that, I have no other thoughts."

Xue Qiyang said calmly, looking at Luo Dingtian like this.

He knew very well that the guy in front of him was clearly trying to sow discord, to drive a wedge between him and Zhou Sui.

But he was such a character, how could he easily be fooled?

The reason he pursued Leng Yuxi in the past was not only because he really liked her, but also because he married the daughter of the Sect Master, and he would definitely become the new Immortal Mist Sect Master in the future.

By then, he would be able to control all the resources of the Immortal Mist Sect and help himself achieve immortality.

Unfortunately, no matter how much he pursued, Leng Yuxi remained unmoved.

It was as if she could see through his heart.

Now that the other party had become a Core Formation cultivator, both in cultivation and lifespan, they had greatly improved.

He was no longer a match for him.

At this time, the other party brought back a Dao companion to the sect, which proved that he had even less chance.

So he had long given up on such thoughts.

Many people thought that he would have a falling out with Zhou Sui, but what benefit would he gain from having a falling out with the Sect Master's Dao companion?

Even if he really killed Zhou Sui, it would only anger Leng Yuxi.

It was simply not worth it.

Offending a Golden Core cultivator, he wouldn't have enough lives.

Now his greatest wish was to succeed in Core Formation. If he could become a Core Formation cultivator, then he would have power and wealth in the world. Even if he couldn't become the Sect Master, his status would be extraordinary.

A single word could decide everything in the world.

So how could he foolishly fall for the other party's tricks and hinder his own cultivation?

"Indeed, you are worthy of being Lord Xue."

Upon hearing this, Luo Dingtian sighed. He had originally wanted to provoke him a bit, but he didn't expect the other party to not fall for it at all.

It could only be said that Xue Qiyang's thoughts were indeed not simple.
