Asking for Immortality in Another World

I've witnessed chaos and the fall of dynasties in the mortal realm. I've seen a wise ruler emerge, reshaping the world's landscapes. In my prime, I stood among the crowd, observing with my hands in my pockets. Later, I learned about immortals, acquired immortal techniques, and embarked on the path of immortality. Along this journey, I faced challenges and stumbled. While geniuses led the era and set trends, I remained a mere bystander in the mortal world, facing its ruthless nature. As years passed and beauty faded,and as time flew by, the world transformed. Eventually, step by step, I achieved immortality on the path of seeking. Some say immortality is but a dream, while others urge cultivators to push forward. Some claim that ten thousand years is too long, advocating for seizing the day. Yes, indeed. ——Excerpt from "Memoirs of the Immortal" by Gu Changsheng, the immortal king of Enlightened Way!

Chapter 10: Two Months Later

Chapter 10: Two Months Later

  If the Chuyun Martial Arts School is compared to a sect, people like Gu Changsheng and Luo Dayong can only be regarded as outer disciples or registered disciples at most.

  Of course, it is more likely that they were merely novice...

 In contrast, Xiao Huan is the true disciple and core disciple of the martial arts school!

  His exceptional physique and talent enable him to grasp the basic martial arts in just three days!

  Now he has been accepted as a disciple by the master of the martial arts school, and his future is bright.

  As long as he does not die halfway, he will definitely be a third-rate martial artist in the future! Perhaps even a second-rate martial artist... A feat highly esteemed in Yuzhou City.

  It can be said that the carp leaps over the dragon gate and ascends to heaven in one step!

  This was done under the eyes of everyone.

  How can it not be enviable? !

  Watching Xiao Huan's proud back leaving with the master of the martial arts school...

  In just a moment, the training ground suddenly became very lively.

  Everyone started talking, one sentence after another.

  "I didn't realize before that Senior Brother Xiao is actually a genius!"

  "Indeed, not as handsome as me, but his skills are undeniable."

  "...Have some shame!"

  "..."

  Gu Changsheng almost couldn't help laughing out loud. He didn't know how a group of ordinary-looking guys who looked like passers-by could be so confident. How dare they say they are handsome? !

  He is so handsome, did he say anything?

  No!

  I am handsome, I know, but I never say it!

  Gu Changsheng actually has a worry every day when he wakes up.

  That is, looking at his reflection in the water, he always frowns, too handsome, which is not conducive to his hiding.

  Who knows, being too handsome is also a kind of distress.

  When he has the opportunity in the future, he must learn a disguise technique, not only to cover up his youthful appearance, but also to attract attention without being so handsome.

  It is better to be ordinary!

  But, pity this handsome dream that has touched the hearts of 900 million chivalrous women!

  ! ...

  ...

  Time flowed like a river, and it passes in the blink of an eye.

  Two months later, Gu Changsheng has been in the martial arts hall for three full months.

  At this moment, he was mobilizing the blood and qi in his body. He used most of his strength to hit a wooden stake standing in front of him.

  When he took his hand away, a palm print collapsed on the wooden stake.

  The force of one palm actually penetrated three inches into the wood!

  "You have mastered the Cloud Palm quite well and are very skilled, but unfortunately, your aptitude is not good enough."

  Senior Brother Qi stood by and watched. He shook his head with a look of regret in his eyes.

  "If the blood and qi in your body were several times stronger, this wooden stake would not be like this now, but would have been cracked by your palm."

  Senior Brother Qi's comments were very insightful. Gu Changsheng lowered his head with a bitter smile in his eyes.

  His aptitude was not very good to begin with, and he did not have much money on him.

  Just the meat supplement for daily martial arts practice was enough to make him spend more than he earned, not to mention the drugs he used. Naturally, the accumulation of blood and qi in his body would be very slow.

  After a pause, Senior Brother Qi said slowly, "Junior Brother Gu, three months have passed. Do you want to continue paying or..."

"My family has no extra money. I would come back when I have saved enough money."

  Gu Changsheng stood up and bowed. Although there was a hint of reluctance in his eyes, he was still free and easy, and his attitude was still respectful.

  "..."

  "Alas..."

  Senior Brother Qi sighed as he watched him gradually go away.

  He knew that this person would probably not come again.

  Many people had said this to him before leaving. But after leaving the martial arts hall, very few people can come back.

  Either they are forced to make a living, or they no longer have the determination to practice martial arts.

  Most of those who can come back have successfully broken through and become martial artists, and they come back because of the subsequent problems with the skills.

  For such people with great perseverance and determination, the martial arts hall is also happy to sell the subsequent skills to them.

  After all, they are also martial artists who walked out of the Izumo martial arts hall, and they will have some feelings.

  Besides, blocking someone's martial arts path is like killing their parents!

  Before leaving the martial arts hall, Gu Changsheng looked back at the huge training ground. Just like when he came, dozens of teenagers were sweating profusely.

  However, there are not many familiar figures anymore.

  People come and go in the training ground, and every teenager may have been similar.

  But how many of them can eventually become martial artists?

  He must be one of them!

  "Practice martial arts in the martial arts hall in March, and continue selling books at home!"

  Gu Changsheng retracted his gaze and said secretly in his heart.

  ...

  Yuzhou City belongs to Yuzhou in the southwest of Chu State. It was the capital of Yuzhou a long time ago, but now it has gradually become an ordinary county town.

  But there are still various flavors with historical sedimentation.

  Yuzhou South City is bustling with traffic and people. On the long street, there are dense vendors and shops welcoming customers, a scene of extreme bustle in the world.

  A bookstore is located at the end of this street.

  In the middle of the long street, there is a three-story wooden teahouse.

  "Pa!"

  The storyteller clapped the gavel in his hand, and told the story he heard from somewhere with great emotion, which was very exciting.

  Gu Changsheng asked for a pot of the cheapest tea sold in the teahouse under the slightly contemptuous gaze of the waiter, and chose a seat in the corner to sit down.

  He seemed not to see the other person's expression and sat down slowly.

  As long as you are not embarrassed, you will not be embarrassed.

  I brought business to your house, but you still look down on me!

  People's hearts are really not as they used to be!

  "The fairy Piaomiao and the Nine Swordsman were facing each other with swords.

  The wind was howling and the rain was drizzling...

  Although both of them were reluctant to draw their swords, things in the world are never as people wish!

  It's just a pity that fate is so cruel!

  Perhaps, this is the will of heaven..."

  The story came to the end, and the storyteller sighed in a low voice: "The Nine Swordsman and the fairy Piaomiao each only drew one sword. After this sword, the fairy Piaomiao smiled and died in blood...

The Nine Swordsman was stunned and silent for a long, long time.

  Later, holding the body of the fairy Piaomiao, he dug a pit not far away, and cut out a tombstone with a few swords, which read, "The tomb of my beloved wife Hua Yuerong!"

The Nine Swordsman is said to be a figure in the Chu Jianghu more than a hundred years ago. He always drew nine swords when fighting with others. After nine swords, either the opponent died or he died!

  Obviously, even at the end of the story, the opponent still died.

  And his story with the fairy Piaomiao is even more sigh-worthy.

  Two martial artists who should have had a promising future, just passed by like a meteor because of each other, which is really a pity.

  But such a specific story, as if he was standing next to it and watching it with his own eyes, Gu Changsheng felt that there must be a lot of fabrications in it.

  However, he did not come to the teahouse to listen to the storyteller's story.

  Instead, he came to the teahouse to learn about the news of Yuzhou City or the entire Chu State.

  In terms of where the news in Yuzhou City is the most informed, it must be the teahouse!

  Sure enough, after the storyteller went down, the people in the teahouse revealed a lot of useful information just by talking.

  Among them, the most important thing is that someone in Yunchen State rebelled!

  Gu Changsheng was not surprised at all that someone in these two states rebelled.

  In the matter of the drought in these two states, the way the Chu government handled it was indeed a bit inhumane, otherwise the people in these two states would not be so miserable.

  It can be said that in these two states, the Chu government has completely lost the hearts of the people! In fact, it is not just these two states. There are a total of 14 states in Chu State, and there are many wild rebellious forces emerging every year.

  Just like weeds, they can never be eradicated, but will grow again in the spring breeze!
