Chapter 996

"Great, so great!"

Everyone in the An family seemed very excited. Everyone hoped that their child could be selected. If their child could be selected, then their lineage would definitely rise in the family in the future.

"Father, why are you calling so many people?"

Anpin's eldest son, the next heir to the family head, came over and said with some dissatisfaction that he himself had two children under the age of twelve.

"Shut up!"

An Pin glared at him. Fortunately, he knew the rules and spoke very quietly. If others heard this, they would definitely be very dissatisfied with him.

"This is for the whole Anjia!"

An Pin looked at the children below and said slowly that he also hoped that his descendants would be selected, but if none of his descendants were suitable for cultivation, he would have wasted an opportunity, and he would not be able to open his mouth to Gu Zheng again. .

So he couldn't take risks and had to gather the whole family's children. If there really wasn't anyone suitable, then as Gu Zheng said, if their family didn't have the fate, he would give up.

It's a pity that his son didn't think so. He only thought about his own children and didn't have the whole family's mind. This made him very worried. This was the heir of the family. If he still thought like this in the future, sooner or later the An family would fall apart and decline.

The eldest son lowered his head, with disdain in his eyes.

An Pin didn't notice his eyes, so he asked people to take these children and send them to the Wu Mansion in person. When they got there, they had to be selected by Gu Zheng to see if there were any children suitable for cultivation.

The An family and his party used several carriages to come out of the inner city and headed for the Wu Mansion.

Such a big news could not be hidden from the other four families. Not long after, the heads and important members of the four families gathered together. An Pin did not tell them about this matter at all. When they were discussing, he had already brought his children with him. Arriving at the door of Wu Mansion.

"There are thirty-nine children under the age of twelve!"

An Pin stood carefully in front of Gu Zheng. At this moment, Gu Zheng still maintained his illusion. Now his immortal power is enough to support such a small magic, and he can become his original appearance, even if it is just an illusion disguise, Gu Zheng Very happy too.

He had already given orders to the people in the Wu Mansion. This was his new look. People in the provincial government could not recognize him and caused misunderstandings.

After everyone saw Gu Zheng like this, a few people nodded secretly, thinking that this should be Gu Zheng's true appearance. The child's appearance before was probably a deliberate test of others, but now that time has passed, it has returned to its original appearance.

These people, if you tell them that Gu Zheng is an illusion now, they won't believe it. This is also because of Gu Zheng's performance all the time, which makes them believe that Gu Zheng is an adult. Who makes Gu Zheng show such mental strength? Adults are still much more mature.

"Let me take a look!"

Gu Zheng walked among the children and stopped talking. A white light flew out from his palm and flew around each child. The children were shocked and curious as they watched this white light pass through their bodies. But there is no feeling in my body.

Soon, these white lights focused on a child, a child who looked to be seven or eight years old.

"Let him stay and take the others back with you!"

Gu Zheng pointed at the child with his finger. An Pin nodded quickly, with a little excitement on his face.

Android is the name of the child left by Gu Zheng, a name similar to the operating system of the earth in later generations. He is not a direct descendant of Anpin, but he is the youngest son of his younger brother.

Seeing Android being selected, people from his father's lineage were very excited. These people did not enter the Wu Mansion courtyard, but they were particularly curious about which child would be selected, so they all leaned against the wall and watched outside. Wu Youben He planned to drive them away, but was stopped by Gu Zheng's eyes. It didn't matter if he looked like this. It was not something shameful in itself.

"Great Immortal..." An Pin stepped forward excitedly.

"Don't call me Great Immortal from now on. My name is Tie. Call me Tie Immortal!"

Gu Zheng interrupted An Pin's words. Since he wanted to accept a disciple of the An family as his apprentice, it was natural to tell them his name. Now he was a Tiexian, but he had taken a completely different path from the original Tiexian.

He didn't know how Tiexian started practicing and how he became a saint, but one thing was certain. Tiexian didn't become an immortal so quickly. He and Tao were both vaguely born, and Tie The exercises practiced by Xian are self-created. It is simply impossible to create a set of exercises within a year or two and still practice them successfully.

It's possible that in the past few years, both of them lived like savages.

"Yes, Master Tie Xian!"

An Pin hurriedly bent down to salute again, but Gu Zheng had already waved the child over.

"May I have your name?"

"Android!"

Android looked at Gu Zheng carefully. He was almost eight years old and knew a lot of things. He also knew that this time he came to let the immortal choose to accept his disciples. Now it seems that the immortal has chosen him.

Practicing immortality is not only the dream of adults, but also the dream of these children. He also knows that Gu Zheng is a real immortal, so he is very careful and a little scared.

"Android, call Master quickly!"

"etc!"

Gu Zheng interrupted An Pin again and continued: "Don't be so anxious and don't call me master. Now, just like Wu You and the others, wait until one day he truly cultivates and becomes an immortal. When he reaches that state, I will officially accept him as a disciple." !”

At the beginning of cultivation, he was just an ordinary cultivator, and the road of cultivation was full of countless dangers. Gu Zheng didn't want his apprentice to die before he became an immortal, so he would not agree to the master-disciple relationship before he became an immortal.

In fact, this is very common in later generations. The disciples of Shushan also concentrated on cultivation on the side first. Only those who became immortals would be sent to Shushan and join the various peaks. Before they reached the stage of Qi transformation, they were registered disciples and could not be considered real Shushan disciples.

Of course, registered disciples were not to be bullied casually, which was also a slap in the face of Shushan.

"Yes, sir!"

Android said carefully, Gu Zheng didn't say anything, and asked Wu You to take him there first. In the future, Android would live in Wu Mansion and would not return to the An family.

An Pin happily took the other children away. The status of Android's lineage in the An family suddenly improved a lot, which made An Pin's eldest son very jealous, but he could do nothing about it.

"Sir, the heads of the four families are here and want to see you!"

Ma Duo walked over and reported in a low voice. He usually practiced, but today was Gu Zheng's disciple selection. Although he and Gu Zheng had not yet established the master-disciple relationship, they were still in a master-disciple relationship, so he had to come out to watch. It was impossible to pretend that nothing happened.

"Let them go back!"

Gu Zheng shook his head gently. He knew the purpose of these families coming. Seeing that Gu Zheng accepted the An family, they also wanted to send their children here. When the immortal in Aunt Cui's village preached, they all sent disciples there. They had long dreamed of practicing to become immortals, but later the immortal's preaching was broken by Gu Zheng, and they realized that they had sent their children into the tiger's mouth.

Fortunately, they were selfish when they sent their children before, and sent fewer, and they didn't catch up because of time, so the four families didn't suffer any real losses.

Before, the An family had only sent people once, and they stopped sending them after they were not selected. It was not because the An family was not well-informed, but because of the order of the previous head of the An family. The previous head of the An family was an extremely smart person. I don’t know how he saw the problem. Anyway, the An family was not allowed to send people to the Great Immortal’s preaching place after the order. An Pin strictly followed his order and never sent anyone, which saved the An family from losses.

They even tried the Great Immortal’s preaching place, not to mention that there is a ready-made immortal in the city now.

In the past, because of the short time, they were worried that Gu Zheng would refuse. Now that they saw that the people of the An family had taken action and succeeded, they immediately came with generous gifts and wanted to send their children to Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng agreed to An Pin because the An family cooperated very well in the original matter, and they remembered this favor. Later, they also took care of the Wu Mansion a lot, and Gu Zheng returned the favor.

The other four families had nothing to do with him, and Gu Zheng would not accept so many disciples at once. He didn’t have so much time to teach disciples now.

Even Android, he also planned to let Ma Duo come to teach him, and he would only give him a set of exercises and guidance to help him build his foundation, and the rest would depend on himself.

The people from the four families were all rejected, and this news was soon known to An Pin. An Pin sneered after learning that the four families were following closely, but it was a pity that they were one step late. This step late would make them late forever, and sooner or later this city would become the exclusive property of their An family.

Gu Zheng's acceptance of Android caused quite a stir in the city.

At first, only the An family and the four families knew about Gu Zheng's existence and that there was an immortal living in the city, but as more and more people with big mouths in the families talked about it, more people in the city knew about Gu Zheng's existence and that there was an immortal living in the city.

It was also because of this that the status of the Wu Mansion became higher and higher afterwards. No matter what Wu You did, others would greet him with a smile and would not refuse him.

Didn't the Yan family at the beginning destroy themselves because they wanted to occupy Wu You's ivory? This is a living lesson. No one wants to be the second Yan family.

Everyone knows the transcendent status of the Wu Mansion, and the An family is so big, so naturally they all know it soon. There are many people who hold the same idea. In just three days, Wu You and Ma Duo rejected dozens of families who wanted to become disciples. In the end, they were so annoyed that they asked Wang San and Wang Wu to bring people to guard the door respectively. As long as they said they wanted to become disciples, they would never meet them.

"When I reached the Return to Void Stage, my cultivation has obviously slowed down a lot!"

Three months later, Gu Zheng was in his room, checking the immortal power in his body and sighed softly.

His immortal Yuan Dan has been used up, but he is still in the early stage of Return to Void. The current cultivation is obviously much more difficult than before. In the past six months of closed-door cultivation, and using the immortal Yuan Dan, Gu Zheng successfully broke through to the early stage of Return to Void, but now, after three months, he is still in the early stage of Return to Void. Only the immortal power has improved a little. If he wants to break through the realm, he has not seen hope.

"Wu You, give me all the raw materials you have collected during this period!"

It is no longer enough to rely on my own hard work. Fortunately, Wu You has never stopped collecting. After such a long time, I should have almost collected all the raw materials for making the Yuan-increasing Food Cultivator. When I came out of seclusion last time, I only lacked two raw materials, and there were substitutes.

Wu You immediately sent all the collections during this period, and did not disappoint Gu Zheng. The Yuan-increasing Food Cultivator can indeed be made. With the things he got from Xiaoyaozi before, Gu Zheng can make two Yuan-increasing Food Cultivators suitable for his use.

The effect of these two food cultivations is definitely not inferior to the Xianyuan Pill.

"Wu You, go and call Ma Duo, Aunt Cui, and Android, and wait for me at the riverside thirty miles south of the city!"

After collecting the raw materials, Gu Zheng gave Wu You another order. There is a long river thirty miles south of the city, and there are several villages there, but the distance between the villages is very large. It is very difficult for Gu Zheng to find a quiet place. Simple.

Increasing food cultivation cannot be done in the city, otherwise it will attract a lot of people. Even if they are not as bold as the people in the big market to attack Wu Mansion, Gu Zheng is not willing to let this fragrance attract everyone in the city. He is well aware of the appeal of his own delicious food.

Who knows if there will be bold people in the city sneaking in at night. Even if there is no damage to the house, it will still be trouble.

Wu You and the others immediately went to prepare the car, while Gu Zheng took off directly into the air and flew out.

In the realm of returning to the void, Gu Zheng's speed is much faster than that of Qi transformation, and it is much more convenient to fly directly without using a sword. After a while, Gu Zheng reached the sky above the river and looked at the long and winding river below. , Gu Zheng's heart moved, and he suddenly fell into the water in a deserted place.

The water-avoiding spell separates water from Gu Zheng. Although using the water-avoiding spell underwater will make the body less flexible, it is better than making the whole body wet.

He found the place through his memory and explored for a while. Gu Zheng quickly found an underwater passage from which he entered the underground river. It was indeed very wide. There was a river above and a huge lake below. Inside the lake There are also many fish.

"Eel Demon, I know you are here, come out, it's me!"

Gu Zheng was transmitting messages in the water. When he and Tao brought the eel demon here, they were considered neighbors. However, Gu Zheng never found the eel demon after they came here. Now, while Wu You and the others I haven't arrived yet, so I just want to chat with this eel demon and catch up on old times.

This eel demon has a good heart, and Gu Zheng told him by the way that Xiaoyaozi had been eliminated. It could go back to its original place if it wanted to, and it didn't matter if it didn't want to go back and continue living here.

"Great Immortal, it is indeed you!"

After a while, the eel demon's body appeared. This guy's hiding ability was quite good. Gu Zheng's investigation just now didn't find it.

But this is because Gu Zheng didn't check carefully. If he had checked carefully, he would definitely be found. Gu Zheng has many ways to find a hidden monster.

"That's right, I'm about to break through. From now on I can soar into the clouds and become a real dragon!"

Just seeing the eel demon, Gu Zheng knew that this guy was about to break through the realm. The strength of the dragon clan was stronger than that of other demon clans. Even if he had just refined his energy, he still had the strength of other demon beasts and gods.

However, the higher up the dragon clan is in cultivation, the more difficult it becomes, and the higher up, the smaller the gap becomes. The yellow dragon was crushed by Xiaoyaozi before, not only because Xiaoyaozi had a magic weapon, but also because of the gap in realm. , only in terms of realm strength, Huanglong can't compare to Xiaoyaozi.

Of course, if Xiaoyaozi didn't have the Buddha Dust Immortal Weapon in his hand, Huanglong wouldn't be afraid of Xiaoyaozi. After all, the dragon clan is also a rough-skinned and fleshy monster clan.

The eel demon has a faint dragon aura on it. Although it has not yet taken shape, it has already appeared, and its dragon horns have grown some more. I believe it will break through and become a real dragon in no time.

"I haven't thanked the Great Immortal yet. If it hadn't been for the Great Immortal's Dragon Ball, I wouldn't have had this good fortune!"

The eel demon raised its dragon claw and said to Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng waved his hand at him: "The dragon beads were exchanged with you. Speaking of which, I took a lot of advantage in exchange for your treasure. And with the help of that treasure, the old man who saved you was Xiaoyao." I have already killed him, so you don’t have to worry about him coming to catch you again!”

"real!"

The eel demon was obviously stunned for a moment, and then screamed excitedly. It didn't doubt Gu Zheng's words, nor did it doubt it. It was just surprised and blurted out the question.

"Of course it's true, and it's fate. I killed Xiaoyaozi with the treasure I exchanged with you, and the person who killed Xiaoyaozi with me was a real dragon, and he was also a Huanglong!"

Gu Zheng said with a smile, Xiaoyaozi, who had exchanged life and death with the eel demon, and killed Xiaoyaozi with the help of life and death, failed to turn the eel demon into a dragon, and it was Xiaoyaozi's help, but Xiaoyaozi's purpose was not simple, he just wanted to enslave this new man. The Dragon Clan.

Xiaoyaozi was scared away by Gu Zheng, and fought another Huanglong. Finally, he died in the hands of Gu Zheng and Huanglong, which was considered his life.

"That treasure is so powerful!"

The eel demon's eyes were shining, and it seemed to be a little regretful. It knew how powerful Xiaoyaozi was, and the absolute strength of the Golden Immortal. It was still a powerful Golden Immortal, but it could be killed by that treasure. You can imagine how powerful that treasure is.

"Of course it's true. Do you regret it?"

Gu Zheng looked at it and said with a smile. The eel demon suddenly shivered and shook his head quickly: "No, Immortal, I have absolutely no regrets. Even if I knew the baby was so powerful, I would exchange it for the dragon beads. For me, Said, being able to transform into a dragon is the most important thing!”

This eel demon is not wrong. For it, transforming into a dragon is indeed much more important than ordinary treasures. It can only be said that its pursuit is different.

Just like for a mortal, no matter how powerful weapons, machine guns, and machine guns you give him, they are useless. When compared to someone who can become an immortal, these weapons are not important. Becoming an immortal means a substantial increase in lifespan, which means that there will be more in the future. bright future.

After the eel demon transformed into a dragon, not only did its strength increase, but its lifespan also increased a lot, more than ten times. The lifespan of the dragon was very long, and the lifespan of the dragon of the Jinxian was comparable to that of the Daluo Jinxian.

"That's true, but no matter what, I did get a very powerful treasure from you. So, today I'm going to make a food repair that can increase your cultivation. Come with me and I'll help you become a dragon!"

Thinking of the food repair that is enough for two people, Gu Zheng's heart moved slightly and he said it immediately.

The last exchange was indeed a great bargain for him, which was equivalent to making him owe a favor to the yellow eel monster. This favor is not so easy to owe, especially since his goal is to become a saint. These causes and effects may become troubles in breaking through to become a saint in the future, so if he can get rid of one thing, it's one thing.

It's the same for helping the An family and the yellow eel monster.
