And Tempering An Unsullied Body - Chapter 393

In the room, Tong Shan was looking at Gu Xi expectantly.

Gu Xi narrowed her eyes, not surprised by Tong Shan’s request at all. “It seems that Pavilion Master Tong has already found out about the incident at Hall of Flowing Light.”

After a moment of silence, Gu Xi did not choose to immediately respond to Tong Shan’s request.

Tong Shan nodded and laughed dryly, “I’ve only heard of it a little.”

Gu Xi nodded his head disapprovingly. He was not very surprised that the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion was aware of this matter. No matter what, it was still the number one Chamber of Commerce in the world. Even though it had maintained a neutral position in the conflicts between the various sects and forces over the years, it was not surprising that it had its own intelligence network.

!!

“However, hasn’t your Chamber of Commerce never participated in such matters? Why do you want to participate in this Grand Sect Competition now?” Gu Xi spoke faintly, waiting for Tong Shan to clarify his doubts.

Tong Shan smiled in an extremely calm manner. “It is one thing to remain neutral, but it is another thing to participate in this Grand Sect Competition.”

He paused for a moment and smiled a little embarrassedly. He continued, “If there is an opportunity to head to the Central Plains, who would not want to give it a try?”

Gu Xi nodded his head in agreement before he suddenly thought of something, “Isn’t the main pavilion of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion located in the Central Plains? Why do you need to get involved in the muddy waters of the Grand Sect Competition? Isn’t it a simple matter to send your disciple to the Central Plains?”

“No, no, no. Although the main pavilion of our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion is located in the Central Plains, due to the great distance between the Central Plains, the connections between the various branch pavilions and the main pavilions are not very close. It is not an easy matter to send your disciple to the Central Plains to train. This Grand Sect COmpetition is a very good opportunity.”

Tong Shan shook his head with a wry smile and sounded a little helpless. “As long as you can get a place to go to the Central Plains for cultivation on behalf of our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, I will recommend you to become an Honorary Elder of the pavilion on the Eastern Continent. In the future, there will be a certain discount for all the expenses of all the branches of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion on the Eastern Continent. Moreover, if you need any goods, you can report them at any time. The pavilion will give priority to you.”

Hearing this, Gu Xi’s eyes could not help but light up.

All expenses were discounted. This did not attract him very much. On the contrary, the final priority was to arrange for anything he needed, which piqued his interest.

With such a condition, if he needed to refine any medicinal pills in the future, this would definitely be of great help to him when he was searching for the more precious and rare medicinal ingredients. After all, compared to searching for medicinal herbs alone, it was much more time-saving for the entire Eastern Continent’s Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion to search together.

“Since Pavilion Master Tong has already offered so many tempting conditions, I’m afraid that I won’t know what’s good for me if I don’t agree.” Gu Xi thought for a moment and immediately agreed to this matter.

Hearing this, Tong Shan could not help but heave a sigh of relief. He stood up and smiled slightly. “In that case, I won’t bother you anymore. Oh right, may I know how to address you, Little Friend?”

“Gu Lan.” Gu Xi made up a name without thinking.

He was not stupid. If he revealed his real name now, he would be recognized by someone in the future. By then, he would be in a lot of trouble.

“Okay, Young Friend Gu. I’ll send someone to inform you before the competition.”

Tong Shan chuckled, cupped his hands, and left the inn without looking back.

Looking at Tong Shan’s back, Gu Xi’s right index finger continuously tapped on the table. A moment later, he muttered, “It looks like I have to take advantage of the time to do all the things I need to do. Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it in time.”

Thinking of this, he did not stay here any longer. Instead, he turned around and went to inform Little Nine that he would be leaving for a period of time before leaving the inn.

Taking advantage of this period of time, the first thing he needed to do was to make another breakthrough in his cultivation realm and step into the intermediate Saint stage. The second thing he needed to do was to extract the teleportation array.

He had already planned this matter for a long time. There was still about half a month before the Grand Sect Competition, so he could take this opportunity to extract the teleportation array.

After leaving the inn, Gu Xi first wandered around the city for a period of time. After making sure that no one was secretly following him, he turned around and directly left the city.

He did not want others to know that he had taken out the teleportation array. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had the chance to participate in the Grand Sect Competition. Before that, many people would have come looking for him, and the fact that he had the System would be known by everyone.

At the same time, on the top floor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

“Miss, he has promised to participate in the competition on our behalf.” Tong Shan stood behind the woman and recounted the conversation he had with Gu Xi.

The woman did not look surprised at all, as if she had already expected Gu Xi to agree to this. She lowered her head slightly and looked down at the crowd on the street below, she said softly, “I hope he won’t disappoint me.”

Tong Shan nodded, and then quietly left the room.

…

On the other side, under the guidance of the imprint he had left earlier, Gu Xi successfully returned to the location of the teleportation array.

Looking at the enormous array under his feet, Gu Xi closed his eyes and immediately spread his sea-like spiritual sense in all directions. In the blink of an eye, he had already covered dozens of miles.

This area was surrounded by dense forests and mountains. He could not sense any human presence in the surroundings. However, due to the wilderness, there were quite a number of demon beasts.

A moment later, Gu Xi withdrew all of her spiritual sense and immediately summoned Little Jin who was staying in the demon beast space. He said in a deep voice, “During this period of time, protect me. No human or demon beast is allowed to come within a radius of ten miles.”

Little Jin was still in the appearance of the little carp. It blinked at Gu Xi and disappeared with a flick of its tail. At the same time, a faintly discernible supreme beast pressure enveloped the surroundings. Wherever it passed by, all the demon beasts would prostrate themselves on the ground and tremble. They did not even dare to stand up, let alone come here.

Gu Xi slowly walked to the center of the array. The System’s cold voice slowly sounded in his mind.

[Ding! The Great Teleportation Array has been detected!]

[There are a total of 874,169 flaws!]

[Would the host like to proceed with the extraction?]

“Begin the extraction,” Gu Xi said calmly, and a wave of profound fluctuations instantly surged out of his body, enveloping the entire teleportation formation and beginning the extraction.
