392: Riding a donkey upside down, the holy land of the Eight Immortals

Inside Forget-Love Hall, Gu Liangyuan pondered:

"The Supreme Legacy states that among the Big Dipper's nine stars, seven are visible and two are hidden."

"The Southern Dipper governs life, and the Northern Dipper governs death."

"The appearance of the Left Assistant and Right Deputy stars signifies a heavenly killing intent, indeed indicating a change of dynasty!"

"Moreover, according to what East Queen Mother said, the timing of the Left Assistant and Right Deputy's appearance was roughly when I obtained that incomplete Time Dao Fruit."

"Although there's no direct evidence, I have a strong premonition that these two stars appeared because of the Time Dao Fruit!"

"It seems this Time Dao Fruit is even more important than I imagined."

"September 9th, there's still half a year from now. I must make good use of this half-year..."

As Gu Liangyuan was thinking this, he suddenly saw two people enter the hall together.

These two were none other than Oriental Heng and Master Wan Yan.

"What's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Master Wan Yan immediately knelt on the ground with a thud:

"My Junior Martial Uncle... you must uphold justice for me!"

Saying this, he began to recount his tale, snot and tears streaming down his face.

It turned out that Master Wan Yan had received Gu Liangyuan's order and began researching explosive Medicinal Pills above the Nascent Soul Realm.

He was currently able to produce Void Refining Realm explosive Medicinal Pills using simple Materials.

And following Gu Liangyuan's suggestion, he had poisoned these explosive Medicinal Pills.

Speaking of adding poison, Master Wan Yan felt strange in his heart.

In the past, when he refined other Medicinal Pills, he would inevitably fail a few times.

But once he started refining poisonous Medicinal Pills, his success rate directly reached one hundred percent.

At this time, Master Wan Yan had already refined two types of poisonous explosive Medicinal Pills: Heavenfall No. 1 and Heavenfall No. 2.

Heavenfall No. 1 referred to the Pill Furnace that was about to explode during the refining of the Myriad Poison Pill.

This Myriad Poison Pill was truly remarkable, made from ten thousand kinds of strange poisons from the world. Although named a Pill, it was more often used as a weapon.

Because this Pill was extremely poisonous, there was no need to consume it; merely its permeating Pill fragrance could instantly kill a Nascent Soul Realm expert.

As for the Pill itself, there was no need to mention it; a Void Refinement Realm Body Cultivator's Physical Body, upon contact with this Pill, would be instantly corroded, forming a large hole.

Moreover, the toxins on the Pill would rapidly spread throughout the entire body.

Coupled with the explosive Medicinal Pill, which was comparable to a full-force strike from a Void Refinement Peak expert, at the moment the explosive Medicinal Pill detonated, thousands of poisonous Medicinal Pills would fly out, absolutely causing significant harm!

Building upon this, Heavenfall No. 2, which targeted Divine Soul damage, was also developed.

As he was fully dedicated to developing Heavenfall No. 3, on the verge of a major Breakthrough, Jiang Wei suddenly burst in, causing his research to be ruined at the last minute.

To re-verify the formula would require several more months of effort.

Hearing the name Jiang Wei, Gu Liangyuan couldn't help but feel a headache.

It's that girl again!

The troubles she had caused in the Supreme Sacred Ground were neither big nor small.

But why did she never learn?

"Alright, I know about this. I'll definitely give you an explanation later."

"Mm."

Master Wan Yan wiped the tears from his face and softly hummed in a wronged tone.

After understanding Master Wan Yan's situation, Gu Liangyuan looked at Oriental Heng, who had been frowning:

"Didn't you say you were going to travel the Five Continents a few days ago? Why are you back already?"

Oriental Heng quickly spoke:

"Not long after Master left, I met an old man.

This old man was a bit strange, riding a donkey backward and drinking wine.

I was in a hurry to go east, but he blocked the path and wouldn't let me pass.

Master had long since said that if I met a strange old man on the road, nine times out of ten, he would be a Cultivator of the Dao.

I didn't want to cause trouble, so I turned and walked west.

But somehow, no matter if I walked east or west, I only seemed to be treading in place, frequently scratching my head.

Helpless, I had no choice but to call out to the old man and ask him why he was blocking my way and not letting me leave.

As I spoke, I summoned my Mahayana Puppet, a technique passed down by my Master.

But that person showed no fear, only caring about drinking his wine.

I urged the Puppet to attack, but it couldn't do anything to the old man.

Seeing that the old man had no ill intentions, I stepped forward and asked for the reason:

Senior, why are you here, blocking me from visiting my friend?

That person said that he saw my scholarly heart and sword courage, and my excellent Aptitude.

It perfectly matched his Legacy, and he wanted to take me as his Disciple."

Gu Liangyuan listened quietly, not saying a word.

Master Wan Yan, with his hot temper, couldn't hold back and immediately spoke:

"How audacious! Stealing a Disciple and coming to my Supreme Sacred Ground for it! Didn't you mention my Junior Martial Uncle's name to him?"

It was no wonder Master Wan Yan was so angry.

Stealing another's Disciple was like severing their Legacy, which was a great taboo in the Cultivation World!

Gu Liangyuan raised a hand: "What are you so anxious about? Let Dongfang finish."

Although Master Wan Yan had a fiery temper, he always listened to Gu Liangyuan's words.

Upon hearing Gu Liangyuan speak, even though he was still angry, he immediately fell silent.

Oriental Heng cupped his hands towards Gu Liangyuan and continued:

"My heart is only on Forget-Love Peak, how could I change my sect for this?

I directly refused him and stated my identity.

But this old man was completely unconcerned and stubbornly went his own way.

However, seeing his high-level methods, I softened and said that I had feelings for a female Cultivator.

I needed to resolve my emotional matters before I could follow him to cultivate.

This old man, surprisingly, readily agreed and took me with him.

In the middle, I found an Opportunity to escape, used a teleportation talisman, and only then did I come to tell Master."

Master Wan Yan listened, somewhat puzzled:

"This is truly strange. In today's Five Continents, who doesn't know Junior Martial Uncle's great name?"

"This person actually dared to forcefully take you?"

Oriental Heng also looked perplexed:

"I imagine that old man is still in the same spot. Should we go investigate his background?"

Gu Liangyuan was also puzzled in his heart. To speak without boasting, he had done so many earth-shattering deeds because of his Disciple that even a Loose Immortal would have to think twice.

Did this old man not know, or did he truly have such confidence?

Also, ever since the Yao Sisters appeared, he had clearly strengthened the Grand Formation again. If a Tribulation Transcendence Realm Cultivator entered or exited through the city gate, he would definitely know. How could such a powerful being appear out of thin air?

But no matter what, he was the only one who could steal from others!

Daring to steal his Disciple, had he really never seen a hooligan before?!

"Let's go, Master will help you get even!"

Saying this, Gu Liangyuan pulled Oriental Heng and directly shot into the sky.

When Master Wan Yan saw there was excitement to be had, he also followed along:

"Junior Martial Uncle, take me with you!"

Gu Liangyuan glanced at Master Wan Yan, and just as he was about to refuse, he suddenly felt something and sharply turned his head.

His gaze pierced through the cloud obstruction, directly landing outside the Supreme Sacred Ground's mountain gate.

He saw that in front of the mountain gate, a disheveled old Daoist with hair like withered grass, riding a donkey backward, had appeared out of thin air.

Looking at the magnificent aura of the Supreme Sacred Ground, he raised his wine gourd and took a deep swig.

After wiping away the wine remaining on his lips, he let out a burp before speaking:

"No wonder that young man was unwilling to become my Disciple; this Holy Land is indeed extraordinary."

"However, how can a Disciple seen by I, He Mozhi, fall into the hands of others?"

Saying this, his tone suddenly rose:

"A distinguished guest has come from afar, why aren't you coming out to greet him!"

At the same time, Gu Liangyuan also cast his investigation technique on him:

Name: He Mozhi

Identity: Lingqiu Realm, Grand Elder of the Eight Immortals Holy Land

Cultivation: Fire Calamity Realm Early Stage (Body and Dao Dual Cultivation)

Laws: Wine, Sword, Poetry

Origin: Wine

Comprehension Ability: Among the Prodigies

Luck: Excellent

Cultivation Technique Divine Ability: ...

Summary: A Cultivator who, due to a fortunate Opportunity, was teleported from the Lingqiu Realm to the Kong Sang Realm through a spatial rift.

Gu Liangyuan understood. No wonder the Six Harmonies Grand Formation didn't react; it turned out he had come through a spatial rift by chance.

But... what are you being so arrogant about with that cultivation?

Daring to provoke a Holy Land at the Fire Calamity Realm, where do you get your courage?
