The old master noticed that most of the instigators among the Gu Masters were from Feishuang Pavilion, and the wrinkles on his face deepened, his expression full of sorrow.
Fang Yuan silently mulled over the name "Zheng Shanchuan," feeling it was somewhat familiar. But as an immortal zombie, his mind was not as sharp as when he was alive, and he couldn't recall it immediately.
Fang Yuan then suppressed the Star Thought in his mind and activated Memory Thought to dig through his memories.
Finally, he remembered.
It turned out that on the east coast of the Central Continent, a super force named Shanchuan Hall arose several hundred years later. Its founder was named Zheng Shanchuan. Shanchuan Hall specialized in the Refining Dao. When dreams manifested and the Dream Dao flourished, the head of Shanchuan Hall caught the trend of the times and became a Gu Immortal.
In that great era, it wasn't unusual for a mortal to become a Gu Immortal. Especially with the appearance of dreams, which provided massive opportunities for ordinary Gu Masters. Dragons and snakes lurked in the wild grass; what many lacked was often just a single chance.
The manifestation of dreams brought many people wonderful encounters. The War of the Five Regions gave countless low-level Gu Masters the chance to emerge.
In the grand epoch of the War of the Five Regions, various figures emerged one after another, brilliant as twinkling stars, with boundless romance. The Ten Ancient Sects gradually lost control over the Central Continent, and many new sects rose up. Among them, ten stood out, known as the Ten New Sects, openly contending with the ancient sects with unprecedented fame.
Not like now, when the Ten Ancient Sects of the Central Continent firmly hold the reins of the overall situation. Even super forces with Gu Immortals find it extremely difficult to break away from the Ten Ancient Sects and rid themselves of vassal status.
"Judging by the timeframe, could this Zheng Shanchuan before me be the founder of Shanchuan Hall? He managed to come second in the Five Virtues Gate. He must have the realm of Refining Dao Grandmaster. So young and already a Refining Dao Grandmaster, truly a genius. This matches the biography of Zheng Shanchuan. A famous teacher produces outstanding students, so this old man must be Old Man Qishan."
"Old Man Qishan was poisoned by someone's scheme and had been suffering from the poison. Zheng Shanchuan, filial and devoted, tried every means to cure his master. That's right. The Green Luminescence Gu is an excellent healing Gu for hot poison. Unfortunately, even Old Man Qishan didn't know that the poison in him was a poison of transformation. On the surface, it looked like hot poison, but after using the Green Luminescence Gu, it would turn into cold poison, even more violent. At least twice as severe. However, in the end, Zheng Shanchuan succeeded in removing the poison from his master. He collected nine Luminescence Gu, including Green, Blue, Red, and others, forming the healing killer move Nine Luminances, which could overcome any poison. Later, his descendant who became a Gu Immortal and lord of Shanchuan Hall developed this move further, improving it into the Immortal killer move Mysterious Light Nine Luminances, becoming a great healing master of Light Dao. He even gained some fame during the War of the Five Regions."
Fang Yuan used Memory Thought to dig out from the depths of his memory information that had been dusted with the ashes of time.
He was observant and saw through everything around him. He was well aware of An Han's conspiracy, and after a few subtle observations, he felt that this pair of master and disciple was very likely Old Man Qishan and Zheng Shanchuan.
He then used Fortune Observation Gu to examine the two.
Feishuang Pavilion was the venue for the Gu Refining Contest, and it had strict arrangements of Gu insects, forbidding outside Gu Masters from using Gu recklessly.
But Fang Yuan was an immortal zombie, his body bearing tracts of strength. His immortal aperture was self-contained, so he secretly used the Fortune Observation Immortal Gu. These mortals couldn't guard against it.
Immediately, Fang Yuan saw the fortune of the two. Zheng Shanchuan's fortune was like a rainbow light, resplendent and extraordinary. Old Man Qishan's fortune was like a broken jade basin, from which wisps of grey fortune trickled.
Old Man Qishan's fortune was clearly bad, but Zheng Shanchuan was close to him, and their fortunes had become interconnected.
Part of the rainbow-like fortune split off, poured into Old Man Qishan's jade basin of fortune, greatly diluting his grey fortune.
Fang Yuan found it interesting and thought: "I didn't expect to run into the founder of Shanchuan Hall here. If I kill him, I'm afraid that in a few hundred years, there won't be a super force called Shanchuan Hall here on the east coast."
As soon as Fang Yuan had the intent to kill, the fortune of the master and disciple swayed, as if blown by a strong wind, the rainbow light dimmed and barely flickered.
"But what benefit would I gain from that? The Northern Plains have already been messed up by me, though it wasn't really my intention. It was all Mo Yao's false pretenses. But where can I go to argue my case? Let me spare Zheng Shanchuan's life. These people should be preserved as much as possible to ensure my advantage in rebirth." Fang Yuan changed his mind.
Back then on the Northern Plains, even though he knew Ma Hongyun, he didn't kill him.
This was not out of fear, but the ambition of a demonic path magnate.
In his previous life, he was only a sixth rank Gu Immortal, one step away from seventh rank, mostly due to a lack of opportunities and wasting time in his early years.
Fang Yuan was confident that even if these people grew up and achieved even greater accomplishments than those in his past life memories, he would have the ability to deal with them and benefit! He would trample them underfoot, hack a bloody path, and charge toward immortality.
As for whether immortality actually existed or not, what difference did it make?
