Chapter 254 Return

Wangshu Fucheng.

Datonghui Headquarters.

The headquarters that used to be bustling with people and decorated with flowers is now deserted, and it is already notorious among the people.

In the inner courtyard.

Gui Shou, who is currently the interim head of the Datong Association, is holding a cup of tea. His hair is gray, like an old man in his twilight years, and his brows are full of fatigue.

It wasn't until the tea was mostly cold that he sighed quietly.

"Three years and three years, when will this end?"

"Less than seven years have passed since our ten-year agreement, and I can't hold on anymore."

Seven years ago, the president was suspected of provoking a powerful enemy and disappeared with all the spiritual stones in the association. Before leaving, he entrusted the Datong Association to him.

He made a prediction for himself, it was a bad omen, and the outcome of choosing to stay would not be good.

But he still chose to stay.

Facts have proved that his predictions are quite accurate.

During the meeting, all the spiritual stones were swept away, and the great love project turned into a big pitfall project. Hundreds of monks who had invested all their wealth in it almost collapsed.

Ordinary people are deceived. They report the crime when they should, and then they can only admit that they are unlucky and look forward to the day when the government can recover the stolen money.

But these people who were tricked were all monks, monks who had control of power.

They will not accept their fate, they will only find the culprit, use their own methods to recover the debt, and then kill him!

Especially these debt-collecting monks are backed by the major families in the city.

After Yu Xian ran away, the major families in the city slowly came to their senses.

The Tai Tong Hui property they paid a huge price to acquire is not that valuable.

The reason why these industries make money is not how good they are, but the benefits brought by market prosperity.

The reason why the market is prosperous is because there is a big love project that throws a lot of money and attracts a lot of people.

Now that the Daai project has been suspended, how can other industries survive alone.

Of course, some people have not thought about the relationship between the two.

It's just that they never thought that Datong would dare to risk the world's disapproval and directly take the money and run away. They never thought that Palace Master Chu would cooperate with Datong to make such a plan and deprive their family of hundreds of years of wealth accumulation.

They were determined to seek an explanation from Palace Master Chu.

But Palace Master Chu only invited everyone to the palace to attend the welcome dinner for his master Sanyang Zhenjun, which was also his farewell dinner before he left and returned to the sect.

No one dared to say a word more, and even smiled and gave farewell gifts.

Palace Master Chu is not easy to mess with, and with the support of the True Lord, he will soon try to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. Anyone who rushes to look for trouble at this time will probably be charged with a disturbing crime of obstructing the way, that is, being beaten to death. Well deserved.

So the Datong Association, which was still on the surface, became a living target.

Gui Shou has lost count of how many times he has been assassinated and kidnapped.

If the people behind the scenes hadn't wanted to save his life, he might have met the King of Hell long ago.

But even if he is careful and cautious, the first thing he does when he opens his eyes every day is to spend all his energy and fortune-telling, but it is still difficult to stop the open and hidden arrows.

Now his body is riddled with holes, his vitality is severely damaged, and his life span has been shortened by at least forty or fifty years.

Qi Chunshen, the former Datonghui personnel who stayed with him, could not bear the harassment. In order to save his life, he directly joined the debt collection team and became a traitor.

In order to get the certificate, he even deliberately set a trap. He was pierced through the chest by Qi Chunshen's flying sword and almost died on the spot.

Fortunately, he was alert in advance and asked Duan Hong, the uncle of the Chu family in the city lord's palace, to come forward, and he was able to save his life.

Later, he hunkered down in the Datonghui headquarters and began to implement the strategy of differentiation with the few heretical golden elixirs and foundation-building elixirs left by the president.

Such is human nature.

At first he said nothing, but the monks who had been tricked went crazy and wanted to fight him to the death.

Now that he can get something out, he doesn't want to let him die too quickly.

He also became dubious about the news that the president would definitely come back and give an explanation within twenty years.

It’s not that they want to believe it, but if they believe it, they still have some hope of deceiving themselves. If they don’t believe it, there will be nothing.

In addition, he can take out a heretic golden elixir and a dozen foundation-building elixirs every year to barely maintain the dignity of the Great Love Project.

The life of Datonghui is relatively easy.

But Gui Shou himself had no idea.

There was only so much left by the president.

He wanted to subsidize it himself, but even if he was squeezed dry, he couldn't even get a heretical golden elixir out of his entire net worth.

After all, he has worked for Datonghui for so many years and has never received a spiritual stone. All he has received is the meritorious service of Datonghui, a number that only needs to be recorded in a notebook.

"Freedom, future, life and death..."

Gui Shou muttered, and habitually took out his turtle shell magic weapon to perform hexagrams.

In fact, there should not be too many hexagrams used to predict one's own fortune, otherwise it will inevitably damage one's destiny.

Like him, he must do a fortune-telling every day, and calculate how many days his life will be shortened at a time. It may seem insignificant, but when accumulated over time, it is also an extremely terrifying number.

Half of the decades of life he lost were lost on himself.

But Gui Shou felt that he was not included in this hexagram, and he really couldn't feel at ease.

"Huh?"

Gui Shou looked surprised.

Today's hexagrams have actually changed.

"Times are turning, am I about to get lucky?!"

Unfortunately, ever since he took over the blame left by the president, his fortune has always been clouded, and he may die prematurely at any time.

He's almost used to it.

Suddenly the clouds cleared and the sun suddenly cleared, and his fortune improved greatly, but he was still a little unaccustomed to it.

But fate doesn't lie.

This is his way of guarding the food. If he couldn't believe this, he wouldn't be where he is today.

Gui Shou rubbed the ancient turtle shell magic weapon and fell into deep thought.

He had a vague guess in his mind, but he was not sure.

It's obviously only been less than seven years.

The president said it was ten years, but in order to be more secure, he announced it was twenty years.

Gui Shou drank the cold tea in his hand, and his rickety body suddenly stretched out, his gray hair turned black, the tiredness and sadness on his face disappeared, and he turned into the steady and handsome young monk again.

The previous appearance was all to confuse the creditor - he had been forced into this look, and if he forced it any further, he would be forced to death.

"I have been calculating my fate for the rest of my life, and I cannot make a mistake for the last time. If I make a mistake, it means I am not good enough and I deserve this fate."

A confident smile appeared on Gui Shou's face, and his long-suppressed spirit was high-spirited, like fine iron tempered from the fire, and even his thoughts became gleaming.

No one knows how much pressure he has endured over the years, but the tempering this pressure has given him is amazing.

If it weren't for the fact that he was a fake alchemy cultivator and his cultivation was shackles, a few thoughts at this moment would be enough for him to take a step forward in his cultivation.

Even so, he also felt the sublimation and progress of his soul.

The fake elixir restricts the mana of the Dantian and cannot increase it even a little bit.

But his spirit is not shackles and can be infinitely sublimated.

"Sure enough, it is a sign of fortune. The inheritance I received before was not wrong. After so many years of life and death, I finally have my real opportunity."

Gui Shou held the turtle shell magic weapon tightly, took a deep breath, felt the beating of his heart, and a sparkle flashed in his eyes.

He has had good luck since he was a child. Although his qualifications were extremely mediocre, he was able to eat spiritual grass by mistake and successfully started practicing Qi.

A mere young monk who was new to practicing qi accidentally entered the ancient monk's cave and successfully obtained the turtle shell magic weapon in his hand - a magical treasure that can accumulate luck.

Since then, his luck has been in a downturn, and he is either living in danger or walking on the road to danger every day.

Because his qualifications are too poor, otherwise he would not be able to inspire luck and get opportunities.

He stumbled to the peak of foundation building by relying on the way of being cheated for three days a year.

However, the Golden Elixir level was too difficult for him. He had a hunch that even if he risked his life, he might not be able to break through the Golden Elixir realm.

Until he met Datonghui.

He had calculated his fortune and entered the Datong Society and had a narrow escape from death, but surviving in the midst of death was his golden elixir opportunity.

It was just a chance, that is, the golden elixir turned into a fake elixir.

Although he became a fake elixir monk, he still had five hundred years of freedom. He knew that human power had its limits, so he accepted his fate quite quickly.

But when he became a fake elixir monk and was able to truly refine the magic weapon, he discovered that his turtle shell magic weapon had another mystery.

There is actually a piece of spiritual practice in it.

The so-called spiritual cultivation is a practice similar to that of ghost cultivation, but ghost cultivation requires giving up the physical body and only cultivating the soul body. Finally, the yin pole generates yang and the body of ghost and immortal is achieved.

Spiritual practice, on the other hand, is about cultivating the power of the mind and spirit, using the mind to interfere with reality, and finally sublimating the mind to a level where the mind and spirit are unified and omnipresent.

This way of practice places less emphasis on physical qualifications and more on a profound and profound mind.

In fact, this thing requires higher qualifications, but it cannot get stronger than the orthodox method, so it is gradually eliminated.

And he had gone through many hardships, and he should have lived a peaceful and happy life, but instead he asked for trouble. He grew up in bitter waters, and his mind was tempered to an extremely strong point, which just met the entry requirements.

Now that the ominous omen that had trapped him for seven years was gone, his soul was sublimated again, and he finally succeeded in practicing this spiritual method called "Stealing the Secret of Heaven".

From now on, the fake elixir is no longer a shackle for him, and his cultivation will evolve with the power of his soul.

"Hahaha...Gah!"

Gui Shou's smile stopped suddenly. Looking at the person slowly appearing in front of him like a bubble, he felt that he had smiled too early.

"Will... be the president?"

Yu Xian, who had been standing there for an unknown amount of time, looked at him appreciatively.

"I knew that we in Datong would be Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons. No wonder I recognized you at first glance. It turns out that heroes cherish heroes. Yes, very good."

Gui Shou has developed special spiritual power. With this blessing, his sensitivity to crises has already surpassed that of normal monks of the same level.

So he clearly realized how terrifying the president standing in front of him was.

It felt like he was an ant standing under the feet of an elephant, and he could be shaken to death by raising his feet.

He has obviously become stronger.

Then there is only one answer, the president he respects has become stronger.

Gui Shou had a lot of thoughts in an instant, and all kinds of terrible thoughts emerged.

Finally, in the face of his instinctive desire to survive, he decisively presented the turtle shell magic weapon and used a secret method to inspire the inheritance of "Stealing the Secret of Heaven".

"President, this is a spiritual inheritance that my subordinates accidentally obtained. I would like to invite the President to appreciate it."

He didn't know how long the president had been standing, and he didn't know how much the president had learned, and whether he would have other thoughts about him because of it.

But he didn't want to gamble.

The reasons for this are very complicated, but one of the more important ones is probably that the character of the president in front of him is trustworthy.

A bastard who stole hundreds of millions of spiritual stones and ran away actually has character?

If you say this to those creditors who scolded the Datong Society to death, you will definitely laugh your teeth out.

But in Gui Shou's view, if the president wanted to take away all the spiritual stones, he would not leave him to guard them, let alone leave him the heretic golden elixir and foundation-building elixir worth tens of millions.

From this point of view, the president has a certain character.

Even if such a person covets his treasure, he should still use some gentle methods.

So he used the word "tasting" to leave himself enough room for change.

"Tsk, tsk, how can this be so embarrassing?"

Yu Xian said politely, but his spiritual consciousness had already roughly scanned the "Stealing Secrets of Heaven" which recorded spiritual cultivation methods.

After all, he was very interested in the special power that appeared on Gui Shou just now.

It is a special power that is different from spiritual consciousness, magic power, and qi and blood, and it is quite ingenious.

When he saw the secret of stealing heaven, he shook his head as if he didn't care and said:

"Such a dangerous method, it's all thanks to your hard work."

"Put it away, and you still make this gesture to guard against me. Could it be that I, the dignified president, will still covet your treasure? Moreover, this kind of spiritual practice has long been abandoned by the mainstream. If you practice this method, it is tantamount to touching. A stone crosses a river, and if you want to make progress, you have to rely on yourself.”

It was also the first time that he learned about spiritual practice.

But that doesn't stop him from bragging.

After all, he is a mysterious organization that has been inherited for thousands of years. He has an outstanding descendant of the Datong Association with the Venerable as his head, so it is natural for him to be well-informed.

It might have been a bit imaginary before, but since he broke through Nascent Soul, this organization has really existed.

As for why he is sure that spiritual practice has been abandoned by the mainstream...

Well, he guessed.

But it is definitely the same. After all, everyone is practicing in the realm of magic power. At most, they can add physical training.

However, physical cultivation and Dharma cultivation have the same goal, but they have different emphasis.

Just like he has never practiced physical training, but relying on the accumulated tempering of his own magic power and the Tiandao spiritual energy that does not require money, his body has become as strong as a magic weapon.

It's just that he may only be a low-grade magic weapon, while the body cultivated by body cultivation is a middle-grade or high-grade magic weapon.

Both are at the same level, just different levels.

However, the corresponding magic power of physical cultivation is not as good as that of legal cultivation of the same level.

As for the method of spiritual cultivation, he had never heard of it. At first glance, it was a niche profession that was excluded from the mainstream, or a special profession that required too high qualifications.

He is already destined to go to the dark side, so why would he be distracted in the middle? It can only be used as a reference to increase his knowledge.

After hearing Yu Xian's words, Gui Shou couldn't help but tremble slightly, feeling that he was judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Although the president has a history of absconding with money, he has an extraordinary background, and he is back.

The spiritual practice method that he regards as a treasure may be ordinary to the president.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "As we are born, it is already a great opportunity to have such a method."

Yu Xian snorted coldly: "What is your origin? But do you know what my origin is?

Back then, I was just a small sharecropper in the desolate wilderness, and I didn’t make it all the way to where I am today on my own. How can you belittle yourself? "

Then, he took out the blood soul of Gui Shou and brought it in.

"I promised you when I left that day that when I return, I will give you your freedom. Today I will fulfill my promise."

As soon as he thought about it, he saw a line of blood drawn by the blood soul that moved like a tadpole emerge from the jade tablet, and then returned to Gui Shou's body.

Gui Shou was suddenly hit by the huge surprise and his head was dizzy. Only one thought kept lingering.

every dog ​​has his day!

Times are changing, and my predictions are so accurate!

In one day, not only did he get started in the spiritual practice method and get rid of the shackles of false elixirs, but he also easily gained freedom. From then on, there was no one who could restrain him.

But this surprise only lasted for a short period of time, and his mind regained consciousness.

Yes, as the president said, this method of spiritual practice is different from the mainstream. He practices alone and crosses the river by feeling the stones. He has no previous experience to guide him, and he even goes astray without knowing it.

So what if he regains his freedom? He is not just a poor casual cultivator.

Moreover, he has worked in the organization for so many years and put in so much effort, so how could he just leave?

He couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved.

"President, are you going to drive your subordinates away?"

Yu Xian looked confused: "When will I drive you away? Don't you even want the freedom these days?

Or do you think having your life in my hands can make you feel more secure? "

He is willing to give Gui Shou his freedom. In addition to fulfilling the pie that he worked hard to deceive Gui Shou before, the other thing is that his strength has increased now and his situation has become bigger.

If he can't suppress even one Jindan cultivator, his name as the president will be in vain.

Threatening one's life is not a long-term solution after all. Even if it is a demonic sect, the blood soul guide will not be obtained by its own golden elixir monks.

No matter where you are, interests are the strongest relationships.

As long as Gui Shou follows him and has meat to eat, he doesn't have to worry about betrayal.

Besides, it doesn't matter even if you betray me.

He doesn't have a glassy heart. After being betrayed, he feels like the sky is falling and he doesn't want to live anymore.

He will kill anyone who betrays him, that's all.

Gui Shou quickly shook his head: "No, no, it's just that my subordinate was too happy just now and didn't turn his head around.

The president has great love and helps the world. His subordinates have long been impressed by the president's charisma and are only willing to do their best for the president. "

Yu Xian nodded: "I just like your shameless style, it has some of my skills."

"Come here, I'll give you a task."

…

Gui Shou walked out of the Datong Club with a proud look on his face.

Someone immediately came up to him and said with a bit of ridicule:

"Hey, acting president, why are you dressing up so energetically today instead of looking miserable? When will your president come back? Do you really want us to wait twenty years?"

Gui Shou knew that this person was responsible for monitoring him.

But he is in a good mood now and has no intention of arguing with such a pawn.

"Our president, we will come back tomorrow."

The teasing man's face froze with a joking smile, and turned to look at his companion.

"What did he just say?"

The companion's expression was equally stagnant, and he repeated dully:

"He said the president will come back tomorrow?"

"Fuck!!!"

The two of them were shocked at the same time, and regardless of the city's no-fly regulations, they directly stood up with their weapons and reported the bombshell news to the master behind them.

Shortly after.

A fresh piece of news detonated the entire Wangshu Fucheng.

That President Bai who absconded with the money——

He is back!

The next moment, countless monks were sharpening their knives and waiting eagerly. (End of chapter)
