Besides Ghost King and Red Jade Sanren, there were also three female immortals.
These three immortals were all beautiful and slender, known as the Flower Sea Three Immortals.
The woman in green had a cold expression, she was Green Suo Fairy. The woman in yellow was petite and fair, called Yellow Sand Fairy. The woman in pink was charming and moving, known as Pink Dream Fairy.
They stood together as a group, separated from Ghost King and Red Jade Sanren by a clear distance.
Green Suo Fairy stared at the Crescent Lake below, while Yellow Sand Fairy and Pink Dream Fairy whispered to each other, their gazes occasionally sweeping over Ghost King and Red Jade Sanren. Their eyes were filled with caution.
Not to mention Ghost King's ugly appearance, which already disgusted the beauty-loving three immortals. As for Red Jade Sanren, he had killed his own parents and betrayed his brother for the sake of refining Gu, which made the three righteous female immortals look down on him.
But Langya Blessed Land was no ordinary place. The Gu Immortal who once lived there was the famous "Number One Immortal of Refinement Path in Ancient and Modern Times" — Long Hair Ancestor.
This person was extremely skilled in the Refinement Path, with an eight-turn cultivation base, and possessed a rare talent in the Refinement Path throughout the ages.
He had a long lifespan, spanning two generations of venerables: Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable and Giant Sun Immortal Venerable.
What does that mean? It means that even two nine-turn Gu Immortals did not live as long as he did.
Even Thieving Heaven and Giant Sun, the two venerables, were deeply impressed by his Refinement Path talent and admitted defeat. They had both asked Long Hair Ancestor to refine Gu for them.
Later generations have counted that Long Hair Ancestor had refined at least thirty-eight Immortal Gus in his lifetime. This is only based on confirmed historical events, not including legends and stories.
But even such a figure could not withstand the erosion of the river of time and eventually died of old age.
According to legend, after his death, he turned into a land spirit and continued refining Gu in Langya Blessed Land without cease.
Langya Blessed Land was Long Hair Ancestor's residence. Therefore, it contained a massive collection of Gu recipes, including many Immortal Gu recipes.
Although the Flower Sea Three Immortals did not like Ghost King and Red Jade Sanren, the temptation of Immortal Gu recipes was enough to make them put aside their righteous status and secretly cooperate with these two demonic Gu Immortals.
Time slowly passed.
Crack.
Suddenly, a soft sound came, and the void above Crescent Lake shattered, revealing bright lightning.
"Earth Calamity has begun!" Ghost King exclaimed in excitement.
For a moment, thunder and lightning raged in the center of the sky above Crescent Lake. Rumbling continuously.
This was undoubtedly the sign of an Earth Calamity striking, causing openings in the blessed land.
Red Jade Sanren stared fixedly at the opening, not blinking.
The Flower Sea Three Immortals exchanged glances, all seeing the excitement in each other's eyes. Their breathing became slightly rapid.
Immortal Gu were hard to find; none of the five Gu Immortals had a single Immortal Gu. Of course, they had five-turn Gu worms, and in large numbers, each of them was of high quality.
But no matter how many mortal Gu, they could not compare to a single Immortal Gu.
The Gu Immortals' craving for Immortal Gu was greater than the lust ignited in a lustful wolf at the sight of an incomparable beauty.
Rumble…
Above the lake, thunder continued to explode. Lightning struck continuously. It even formed lightning water pulp, like a storm, pouring down.
The second opening, the third opening… The Earth Calamity created one opening after another, appearing continuously.
"This is an Earth Calamity—'Ten Thousand Lightning Rain'. What a terrifying power." Red Jade Sanren showed shock in his eyes.
"If it fell on our Flower Sea Blessed Land, I'm afraid even if we three sisters joined forces, we would not be able to withstand it, right? Langya Blessed Land is indeed Long Hair Ancestor's. Can we really obtain Immortal Gu recipes from it this time?" The Flower Sea Three Immortals looked at each other, their faces pale.
Previously, Ghost King had given them many benefits. The Flower Sea Three Immortals had come excitedly, but now they felt that this journey was not easy, and forcing their way into Langya Blessed Land was far from simple.
All Gu Immortals were outstanding individuals with extraordinary intelligence.
Both the Flower Sea Three Immortals and Red Jade Sanren became cautious and alert.
Ghost King saw everyone's expressions and laughed hoarsely: "This bullshit heaven always wants to maintain balance! A blessed land has fortune, so heaven sends down calamities, trying by all means to consume this fortune. The better the blessed land is managed, the stronger the calamity's power. Look at this 'Ten Thousand Lightning Rain', its power is comparable to those blessed lands with secret forbidden areas. Let me ask you, how many recipes do you think are stored in Langya Blessed Land? There must be many Immortal Gu recipes. Otherwise, why would that damned heaven send down such a strong calamity?"
These words stirred the hearts of all immortals.
Thinking of Immortal Gu, a trace of heat appeared in their eyes.
"Ghost King is right. I have also entered some blessed lands. Some soon-to-be-destroyed ownerless blessed lands, their Earth Calamities were just drizzles. But the stakes for a blessed land are high; which Gu Immortal doesn't want to manage it well?" Red Jade Sanren smiled bitterly. "The better the blessed land, the stronger the calamity. The path of a Gu Immortal is not easy..."
"Heh heh heh heh... Cultivating immortality is defying heaven. The damned heaven wants to weaken us, suppress us, but we will defy heaven." Ghost King added.
