As the footsteps get closer and closer...

Hidden in the shadow of the cave wall, Li Si saw an old man with a white beard and an old man without a beard walking vigorously into the cave.

Because the light in the cave is relatively dark, and Li Si has already dealt with the traces of collecting Gu refining materials early on.

The two old men didn't find anything unusual after entering the cave, and walked straight to the scarlet pool where the blood-coagulated hope Gu was bred.

The old man Wu Wu looked at the pool and spoke softly.

"There are one hundred and sixty-seven disciples in the clan this year, so let's take one hundred and seventy Hope Gu."

"OK."

The white-bearded old man nodded slightly.

The two then carefully fished out the Hope Gu from the pond and put it into a small box.

When the two old men were fishing for the Hope Gu, Li Si used the shadows of various objects in the cave as a springboard to gradually sneak into the shadow of the white-bearded old man among them.

One hundred and seventy is not too many, with the strong strength of the two old men.

Although they acted cautiously because they were worried about hurting the Hope Gu, it didn't take long for Bian to catch enough.

Carrying the small box containing the Hope Gu, the two old men turned back and left the cave without any delay.

outside world.

The moon and stars are few and far between, and magpies are flying south.

Hiding in the shadow of the white-bearded old man, Li Si finally reached the sky again after many days.

Looking at the clean night, he couldn't help but think about what to do next.

Should he take advantage of Ye Shao's help to escape directly from the Qingming clan, or should he seek wealth and wealth through danger and try to take over the identity of someone from the Qingming clan.

Li Si silently weighed the pros and cons of the two options in his mind.

The benefits of directly escaping from the Qingming clan are obvious. From now on, he can fly as high as the sky and let the fish leap in the sea. With systematic blessing, he will definitely be able to go further and further on the road of Gu.

However, there are some disadvantages to escaping directly, that is, he knows too little about Gu cultivators, which makes him more or less likely to take some detours and get into some trouble when he ventures into the Gu world alone.

As for staying in place of the Qingming clan, the advantage is that you can steal the Qingming clan's knowledge about Gu cultivation. At the same time, when you become stronger, you can easily destroy the Qingming clan and avenge your enslavement by them.

The disadvantage is that there is a slight risk of exposing one's identity.

However, as far as he knew, the Qingming clan was a level 3 Gu cultivator force, and there were no level 4 strong men on the surface, so the possibility of him being exposed was almost zero.

Of course, the Qing Ming clan may be hiding level 4 Gu cultivators secretly, but this kind of hidden information should not be easily revealed, and there is little threat to him being exposed.

Think of this.

Li Si had a choice in his mind.

He hid in the shadow of the white-bearded old man and closely followed his footsteps.

He heard the conversation between the two old men in the cave earlier.

They said, 'This year there are 167 people of the right age, and we want to take 170 Hope Gu'.

It is not difficult to guess from this conversation that these so-called tribesmen of the right age are tribesmen who have reached the age where they can use Hope Gu to open up their Dantian.

The Qingming people of this age group are the most suitable for him to use to replace his identity.

First of all, the opponent has just opened up his dantian and is not strong, so he should not be his opponent.

Secondly, after taking over the other person's identity, he can naturally learn the knowledge of Gu cultivation as a new generation Gu master.

Now, these two old men should give hope Gu to those tribesmen of the right age so that they can open up their Dantian.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Li Si. He only needs to follow the footsteps of these two old men to find a suitable replacement.

The night breeze blows gently.

In the Qingming Clan's camp, a stone tower stands tall and lone, its body flashing with a faint blue light, seeming to guide the direction.

The two old men walked steadily towards the stone tower with small boxes filled with hope Gu.

Li Si hid in the shadow of the white-bearded old man and followed quietly.

Under the stone tower, groups of young people were standing and waiting, their young faces full of anticipation.

When the white-bearded old man passed by the young men under the tower, he took the opportunity to escape from the white-bearded old man's shadow and sneak into the shadow of one of the young men.

Stand in front of the tower.

The old man without a beard held the small box containing the Hope Gu in his hand, and with a burning gaze, he scanned the young men who were standing neatly.

After a while.

"Enter the tower!"

The old man Wu Xu gave the order in a calm tone.

The young men all walked toward the stone tower's gate with faces filled with joy and nervousness.

When passing by the old man without a beard, everyone received a hope Gu from the old man.

As for the key points of using Hope Gu to open up the Dantian, they have already memorized it by heart, and there is no need for the elders to remind them.

Li Si also followed the young man whose shadow he had sneaked into the stone tower.

It was dark inside the tower.

You can faintly see stone platforms on the ground.

After the teenagers entered the stone tower, they climbed onto the stone platforms one by one, then sat cross-legged, adjusted their mentality, and prepared to open up their Dantian.

Seeing this situation, Li Si's heart sank slightly.

He didn't expect that people from the Qingming clan would actually get together to open up their Dantian, which gave him no chance to do anything.

"Forget it, let's wait for these teenagers to open up their Dantian before taking action."

Li Si changed his target, escaped from the shadow of the young man, and sneaked into the shadow of the tower wall.

He had previously discovered that when using Shadow Gu to sneak into the shadow, the stronger the shadow body is, the more spiritual power the Shadow Gu needs to consume, and the consumption of sneaking into the shadow of a dead object is the least.

He estimated that with his current total amount of spiritual power, if he only used Shadow Gu to sneak into the shadow of a dead object, he would be able to lurk for more than six hours.

at the same time.

Outside the tower.

The old man with white beard and the old man without beard did not leave, but looked at the tall stone tower with great concern.

There are six floors in the stone tower. The old man did not raise his eyes to look at the wall of the sixth floor and sighed.

"When will our Qingming clan have a first-class talent?"

"Oh~ Forget about the first grade, if we can get into the second grade, we, the Qingming clan, are lucky."

"Haha, that's right. I'm just delusional. I just heard that the Lin clan has a first-class person, and I'm confused."

Hearing the old man without beard talking about this matter, the old man with white beard also looked worried.

It is very easy for Gu cultivators with first-level talent to reach level 4. If they don't die, they will eventually be able to reach level 5 one day.

The Qingming clan, the Dongzheng clan, and the Lin clan are known as the three major cauldron-carrying forces in the Baishi Mountains. They are all third-level Gu cultivator clans.

The three parties have been balancing with each other for many years, and now they heard that a proud son with first-class Gu cultivation talent has appeared in the Lin family. How can this not make them worried?

"I heard that the clan leader has contacted the Dongzheng clan to get rid of the proud son of the Lin clan. I wonder what the outcome of the discussion will be now."

The old man with white beard stroked his long beard and spoke in a low voice.

Hearing this, the beardless old man glared at him and said, "You idiot, you have grown such a long beard for nothing, and you don't even have a handle on your mouth. Is this something you can talk about?"
