"Successfully bewitched Sun Yuanxiang, gained 1 bewitchment point!"
A strange voice sounded. This was the only thing that could comfort Shen Lian in this competition.
Shen Lian's eyes flashed.
"Uncle Sun knows about Gu Masters too?"
Sun Yuanxiang nodded, reminiscing, "Not only do I know, I almost became a real Gu Master when I was young."
"Oh, why almost?"
"I had no money. Raising Gu is too expensive, I couldn't afford it." Uncle Sun spread out his hands and smiled bitterly.
Shen Lian was speechless, he sighed and said disappointedly, "I didn't expect Gu Masters to be so weak, they can't even withstand a single blow from a Martial Master."
If it was a real battle of life and death, according to the progress just now, Shen Lian would have been killed by Uncle Sun.
Hearing this, Sun Yuanxiang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Young Master Lian, you are very wrong. On the contrary, Gu Masters are the strongest, Martial Masters are nothing!"
"But just now I …"
"That was because the old man used tricks to win.
Young Master Lian should have just become a Gu Master not long ago, his Primordial Qi is not very abundant, he can't maintain the iron-form state for a long time.
Moreover, Young Master Lian had never practiced martial arts before. Even the most basic footwork was unfamiliar to him, and he could not fully utilize his strength.
Otherwise, the one who will lose will definitely be the old man. "
Sun Yuanxiang said logically.
Shen Lian took a deep breath and said, "Gu Masters have to practice martial arts too?!"
Sun Yuanxiang said, "Of course, but the way Gu Masters practice martial arts is very different from us Martial Masters."
After a moment of silence, he said, "I can't explain how different it is. However, I have an old friend who is also a Gu Master. He lives in the east of the city, I can bring you to visit him."
Shen Lian was overjoyed.
The carriage quickly drove out of the mansion and went straight to the east of the city, arriving in front of a house deep in an alley.
Uncle Sun got down from the carriage and knocked on the door, shouting, "Liu Dahu, it's me, Sun Yuanxiang."
A moment later, a violent cough came from behind the door.
"Cough cough cough, cough cough cough …"
The door opened and an old man appeared. He was coughing non-stop with his hand covering his mouth. He looked much older than Sun Yuanxiang. His face was full of deep wrinkles and black spots. His hair was white and sparse, almost all of it had fallen out. His teeth were the same, yellow and rotten. His eyes were deeply sunken and listless.
"This person is … a Gu Master?!"
In Shen Lian's opinion, Gu Masters were all high and mighty, like the legendary immortal cultivators, they were elegant and otherworldly, even if they were old, they should be thin and healthy, they should have the aura of an immortal, far surpassing ordinary people, how could they be in such a miserable state.
"Sun Yuanxiang, it's you."
Liu Dahu first spat out a mouthful of phlegm and then gulped down a mouthful of strong liquor. Only then did he open the door and let the two in.
Sun Yuanxiang sighed and walked in.
The Shen Lian also entered and looked around. The courtyard was very dilapidated and there was not even a decent piece of furniture in the house.
Too poor!
Sun Yuanxiang introduced, "Dahu, this is Shen Lian, the eldest young master of Shen clan. He has something to ask you."
Liu Dahu glanced at Shen Lian, "What is it?"
Sun Yuanxiang, "Gu Master matters. Our young master Lian has great luck and has just become a Gu Master. He urgently needs an experienced person to give him pointers. "
Liu Dahu stared blankly for a while before staring at Shen Lian. Suddenly, he laughed bitterly and said sorrowfully, "Look at me, this is the fate of a Gu Master. Young man, let me give you a word of advice, turn back as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be too late for regrets."
Shen Lian squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Senior, what do you mean?"
Liu Dahu was like a madman, "Gu Master is a profession that risks one's life. Raising Gu costs money, refining Gu not only costs money, it also costs one's life.
I was once a bronze rank Gu Master and had a bronze rank three Gu. In order to let the Gu evolve, I went bankrupt. In the end, the Gu failed and the Gu died. My body was also damaged.
In the end, I was sick all over and was struggling at death's door, living a life worse than death.
Don't look at me like this, I am actually five years younger than Sun Yuanxiang. When I was young, I was many times more handsome than him. "
Shen Lian was stunned.
Lin Xiu Ping's book did mention that the consequences of a failed Gu refinement were very severe. But he had never expected it to be so severe.
Suddenly, Shen Lian felt that he was extremely lucky, because he met the life twisting Gu, the bewitching human heart Gu.
Sun Yuanxiang sighed heavily and said, "Dahu, don't think about these vexing matters. Quickly tell young master Lian about Gu Masters practicing martial arts."
Liu Dahu pursed his lips and drank a mouthful of wine, slowly saying, "Gu Masters use Gu as their core.
Gu is everything to a Gu Master.
To practice martial arts, one naturally has to rely on Gu. "
Shen Lian's eyes brightened and asked curiously, "What Gu?"
Liu Dahu, "Of course it is the wisdom type Gu. For example, grandmaster Gu, chivalrous bone Gu, laughing proudly in the pugilistic world Gu and so on.
These Gu feed on knowledge and comprehension, and can help the Gu Master comprehend profound martial arts. They can also continuously deduce and strengthen the Gu Master, allowing the Gu Master's battle strength to become stronger.
For example, Sun Yuanxiang's' Raging Wave Sword Style ', he spent twenty-three years to reach great success stage. But if you have a bronze wisdom Gu, you can achieve it in a year or even half a year. "
Shen Lian's heart was stirred.
At this time, Sun Yuanxiang suddenly winked at him. He was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood and became overjoyed, asking, "Senior, do you have wisdom Gu? If you are willing to part with it, I am willing to pay a high price for it. "
"No! My Gu are all dead. "Liu Dahu waved his hand and turned his head away, focusing on drinking wine.
Sun Yuanxiang sighed and looked at the dilapidated courtyard, consoling, "Dahu, you are keeping that Gu as a memento, to reminisce about your glorious days as a Gu Master. But that is all in the past, you have to look forward. Why don't you sell that Gu to young master Lian and exchange it for some money and enjoy the rest of your life, wouldn't that be great?"
Liu Dahu's expression changed upon hearing this, as if he was moved.
Shen Lian immediately cupped his fists and bowed, saying sincerely, "Senior, I hope you can fulfill my wish."
Liu Dahu's expression turned serious as he looked deeply at Shen Lian, slowly taking out a Gu from his bosom.
This Gu was like a mini snake, in the shape of a fish hook, with a flat body and the color was like the leaves of a mimosa plant.
"This Gu of mine is a grandmaster Gu, it is the wisdom Gu that battle type Gu Masters dream of."
Liu Dahu lightly caressed the grandmaster Gu, as if he cherished it very much.
"Chivalrous bone Gu, it can only be refined by a Gu Master with a chivalrous heart.
Smiling proud pugilistic world Gu, it can only be refined by a person with an open-minded nature, unrestrained and righteous nature.
Only this grandmaster Gu does not have many restrictions, any Gu Master can refine it, be it evil or righteous.
Moreover, grandmaster Gu is the wisdom Gu with the highest attainment in martial arts, it can greatly increase a Gu Master's battle strength. "
The more Liu Dahu spoke, the more reluctant he became, gradually showing signs of regret.
Seeing this, Shen Lian did not hesitate, saying earnestly and sincerely, "Senior, I will definitely treat grandmaster Gu well."
Liu Dahu heaved a long sigh, "Gu are like wolves, proud and aloof, they have their own will and will choose the most suitable host.
If my body had not collapsed, I would still have a chance to refine grandmaster Gu and start all over again. What a pity, what a pity … "
Sun Yuanxiang also sighed, patting Liu Dahu's shoulder, saying, "How much do you want to sell it for? Let me say this first, Young Master Lian was introduced by me, you cannot ask for too much. "
Liu Dahu rolled his eyes, saying, "A hundred thousand, give me a hundred thousand and grandmaster Gu is yours."
"Gasp —" Sun Yuanxiang stared with wide eyes, wanting to say something.
Liu Dahu stared at him, saying, "A hundred thousand is already a friendly price, I am giving you face. If it is auctioned publicly, grandmaster Gu can definitely be sold for a much higher price."
Sun Yuanxiang looked over, Shen Lian had to make the decision himself.
Shen Lian smiled comfortably, saying decisively, "Deal!"
Soon after, Shen Lian returned to his residence and withdrew a hundred thousand from the accounts room, returning to Liu Dahu's house. Both sides exchanged money and Gu, completing the transaction.
