Chapter 531

Gu Chen and Miao Fugui each asked some questions, and the master of Penglai Island knew everything, just like an amiable and respectable elder, he didn't hold back just because the two were not his disciples.

After some exchanges, Gu Chenmao suddenly realized, and felt that the thoughts in his head were much clearer.

In the next few days, Gu Chen often visited the island master of Penglai and asked him about difficult and miscellaneous diseases in cultivation.

The island master of Penglai devoted himself to imparting knowledge and was very kind to Gu Chen, only occasionally asking him about his practice of "The Jue of Ascending Immortals".

Gu Chen also tried to practice the "Spell of Ascending Immortals" after returning home, but he always felt that it was a bit weird, so he didn't study it in depth.

After all, in his opinion, even if the "Ascending Immortal Jue" is a very powerful technique, it is definitely not as good as the "Tianchen Vientiane Jue" he practiced.

His current energy should be on a breakthrough in cultivation, not on a kung fu method that he doesn't know the depth of.

Gu Chen thought it was okay to have such a state of mind, but after Penglai Island Master asked him about his progress a few times, he answered irrelevant questions, and gradually his attitude changed.

Gu Chen has a keen mind, and obviously feels that the respectable elder is becoming more and more impatient with him.

At first, he thought that he had done something wrong, so he didn't think about the exercises. After all, the island master of Penglai said that they would not be forced to practice the "Secret of Ascending Immortals".

But after staying in Penglai Mountain for seven days, when he saw Miao Fugui again, he couldn't help feeling vigilant.

Miao Fugui has devoted himself to cultivating since he obtained the "Secret of Ascension to Immortals". When Gu Chen saw him again, he found that his temperament had changed slightly.

It turned out that he was a very honest person, but when we met again, his words and deeds became a little frivolous.

"Miao Daoyou, what's wrong with you?"

Eyes are the window to one's soul. When Gu Chen first saw Miao Fugui, his eyes were clear, but now there is an unusual enthusiasm in his eyes, which makes people feel uneasy.

"What's the matter with me? What is Brother Gu talking about?"

Facing Gu Chen's concern, Miao Fugui frowned.

"Brother Miao's temperament seems to be different from before." Gu Chen thought about it.

"Oh? That must be because I have made some progress in cultivation."

Miao Fugui laughed lightly when he heard that, with a look of confidence on his face. "I didn't say, Brother Gu, you should work hard, otherwise you will regret it if you are kicked out of Penglai Mountain one day."

Gu Chen was surprised when he heard that, "Why did Brother Miao say that?"

Miao Fugui's expression suddenly became a little mysterious, and he said quietly.

"Don't look at the outside world saying that the island owner cherishes and treats talented people preferentially, but look at how many people live in Penglai Pavilion in total?"

Gu Chen thought back carefully, the people he met in the pavilion these days were probably only a dozen or so in total.

"The owner of the island has a long lifespan, and the Sea and Sky Feast has been held many times. It is said that he will invite some people he thinks are talented to enter the Penglai Pavilion every time."

"But there are so few people here now, it can be seen that most of them have been driven away. Do you really think that the island owner just cares for talents and has no other purpose?"

Gu Chen's heart trembled, "Brother Miao means..."

"In my opinion, the old island owner is probably looking for a suitable candidate to inherit his mantle. The "Spell of Ascending Immortals" is a test. Only those who have learned something can be recognized by him."

"I have no family or sect. I finally won the favor of the island owner. I must work hard to inherit his mantle. That's all for now. Brother Gu, please do it yourself."

Miao Fugui left after speaking, but Gu Chen fell into deep thought because of his words.

If things are true as Miao Fugui said, then it is understandable that Penglai Island Lord's attitude towards him has become colder. After all, he did not put his heart into cultivating "Ascending Immortal Jue".

It's just that Gu Chen feels that things are not that simple. If the owner of Penglai Island wants to find a suitable successor, he can just explain it directly, why bother to hide it?

Gu Chen frowned, thought for a while, and made a decision in his heart.

If the owner of Penglai Island wants to receive a successor, then he is not the right candidate.

He has no interest in the "Ascending Immortal Jue", and the problem of broken domineering bones in his body has not yet been resolved, so it is impossible to stay here for a long time.

Since the island owner wanted to treat them so courteously, Gu Chen was embarrassed to ask him for advice, and felt that it was time to leave Penglai Mountain.

People are looking for heirs, and they have no intention to occupy the position, which is really unkind.

So Gu Chen decided to bid farewell to the owner of Penglai Island. As for his kindness during this period of time, he will find a way to repay him in the future.

Unexpectedly, when Gu Chen offered to leave, the owner of Penglai Island rejected him.

"You don't need to worry about anything, just stay in my Penglai Pavilion."

He still looks gentle with a smile, but in fact his tone is non-negotiable.

Gu Chen tried to say something more, but the owner of Penglai Island found an excuse and left.

In the next few days, Gu Chen felt that everything had changed.

First of all, the island master of Penglai began to avoid him, and only sent someone to inquire about his progress in the cultivation of "Spell of Immortal Ascension", as if he had to practice it.

Secondly, Gu Chen began to realize that he was being watched secretly, which made him feel uncomfortable.

At this point, he has already realized that something is wrong. Although he is a guest of Penglai Pavilion, he seems to be in prison!

"There is something that must be investigated."

In this case, Gu Chen secretly sent out the white ape to gather information outside.

The disciples of Penglai Pavilion just stared at him and didn't notice that Bai Yuan left for a day before returning.

"How's the inquiry going?"

After Bai Yuan came back, Gu Chen asked immediately.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

The white ape danced and told Gu Chen everything it had heard.

When Gu Chen heard this, his heart suddenly sank!

A few days ago, Miao Fugui said that there were too few people in Penglai Pavilion, which made Gu Chen pay more attention, and sent Bai Yuan out to investigate this matter.

It turned out that the Haitian Banquet has been held for so many sessions, and there are indeed quite a few people who were invited to enter the Penglai Pavilion.

These people were not disciples of great powers, they were invited into Penglai Pavilion because they won the test, or they were some young casual cultivators with potential who were favored by the island owner.

The disciples of the big forces all left soon after entering the Penglai Pavilion, and some of them are now well-known in the mainland.

But it was strange that none of the young casual cultivators who had been invited in for so many years were famous. Not only were they not famous, after they entered Penglai Pavilion, few people saw them again.

Many people say that they have been practicing in Penglai Pavilion, but the real situation is that there are very few people in Penglai!

The characteristics of these missing people are very obvious, some of them are talented in cultivation, they are all casual cultivators, they have no family, no sect, no concern!

After Gu Chen knew this, he shuddered.

Recalling the kind and friendly smile of the island master of Penglai, I only feel that there is a strong taste of conspiracy in it.

"No matter what the truth is, we must leave Penglai Mountain as soon as possible!"

Gu Chen took a deep breath, he wanted to be the master of his own destiny and never be manipulated by others!
