Chapter 54: Divine Ascension Sect

  The sunshine was so dazzling, Gu Shanhe's face was still so lovely, but Liu Suizhen felt a chill in her heart, this special agent head was also too lovely, as soon as they met, he saw through her true identity.

  The Pang family is their own sworn arch-nemesis, but Liu Suizhen has been fleeing all the way, and although there have been several times when her identity was suspected to be exposed, she has always managed to escape unscathed. No one knows Liu Suizhen's true identity, yet she had just met Gu Shanhe for the first time!

  "But Liu Suoyun still smiled brightly and replied: 'That's right, I am Xing Ruyu.'"

  Even Gu Yinghua on Liu Su's back felt a sense of unease, she didn't jump down from Liu Su's back, instead she hugged him tighter: "Brother, this is your brother-in-law!"

  "Brother-in-law!" Gu Shanhe smiled apologetically, but Liu Suoyun couldn't grasp his true thoughts: "Since Yinghua is your person now, we're all one family. As an older brother, I just want to ask, how are you and Yinghua arranged? Yinghua wants to return to Lingjingshan, what will you do?"

  Gu Shanhe indeed is Gu Shanhe, directly pointing to the essence of the problem. After Gu Yinghua returned to the sect, how could Liu Suoyun arrange things without even considering Gu Yinghua?

  But one thing is certain, that is, you can't live a life like a loose cultivator. Although loose cultivators are free, if they want to make rapid progress on the path of cultivating truth, it's an extremely difficult thing to do. Every step of the way for a loose cultivator is incredibly arduous, and even after ten years of bitter cultivation, they still can't compare to a sect disciple who has spent just one year living a carefree life.

  "In this case, Gu Yinghua was not polite to her usual favorite elder brother: 'Brother, I'll leave my sister's husband to you. He is a talented person like Xing Ruyue, and he will definitely be useful under your hands.'"

  Gu Shanhe shook his head: "I can take in my brother-in-law for a while, but I don't have time to be a nanny. Yinghua, you go back to Lingjingshan, your master will take care of you. Brother-in-law probably won't be able to catch up with you..."

  "So, it's better for you to cultivate as a brother-in-law and enter the Xianxia Sect."

  Liu Suiyun can only be considered a wild cultivator, and cannot compare to the orthodox sect's disciples. As soon as he heard Gu Shanhe say this, he immediately bowed his hand: "Thank you, big brother, for helping out. It's just that entering the Shenyue Sect isn't easy!"

  After all, he is a person with a case, and it's not easy to enter the Shenying Sect. You know that the Shenying Sect has an annual sect entrance examination, where thousands or even tens of thousands of cultivators compete for dozens of entry qualifications, and every year two or three unlucky guys will be eliminated.

  Gu Shanhe smiled calmly: "Brother-in-law, are you now a martial arts dual cultivator?"

  Liu Suiyun immediately replied, "My martial arts have reached the peak of Yuanlong, and I can break through to the isolated mountain boundary at any time. On the immortal path, I have also reached the fourth layer of refining qi. With just a little more time, I will definitely be able to break through to the intermediate stage of refining qi!"

  "It's not enough, it's not enough!" Gu Shanhe said to Liu Suizhen with a wave of his hand: "Moreover, your brother-in-law has wasted too much time on martial arts. According to the rules of our Flying Fish Guard, this Yuanlong Peak can only be considered as a treatment for a beginner in the Qi Refining stage. Your brother-in-law must seize the opportunity."

  Liu Suiyun was after all a wild child, and didn't understand the reasoning behind it. The fact is that Yu Long Jing is only one step away from Li Kou Jing, which according to Jiang Hu's classification is equivalent to the late stage of Lian Qi: "Who made this the rule of our Fei Yu Wei? In reality, it's also the classification of Shen Xiao Pai and even most major sects in the world. If we convert martial arts cultivation to Xian Dao cultivation, we have to drop a level..."

  That's not right, Liu Suizhen calculated in his heart, if he dropped a level, his Yu Long realm should be estimated to be at least mid-term cultivation, how could it drop to early-term cultivation, but Gu Yinghua soon told him what was going on.

  Because there is a rule that martial arts cultivation can be converted to immortal cultivation with a one-level reduction, many martial arts disciples, before evaluating their cultivation, think of ways to forcibly enhance their cultivation in various ways. Some use tiger and wolf medicine, some use temporary spiritual medicine to boost their realm, and others simply bribe the evaluation disciples with money.

  In the end, clever people simply found an insider senior to help them directly produce an appraisal report. The insider senior waved his brush and it turned out that the original was just a Yuanlong realm disciple, who was directly appraised as "equivalent to Jieshan realm" or even "equivalent to Longlin realm". Such appraisal reports were repeatedly banned in all the sects of the world.

  The corresponding treatment method is also very simple, no matter how the repair is done, it will be used directly after being demoted by two levels. Gu Shanhe also told Liu Suoyun: "Brother-in-law, I know you have skills in martial arts, but rules are rules. Even if Yinghua has become your person, I cannot break the rules. After all, there are not just a few hundred people like brother-in-law."

  And such a handling method seems to be a very rough expedient, but the system is the system, and even Gu Shanhe dare not break it: "So, brother-in-law, you might as well put in a bit more effort on the immortal path. As long as you have a standard of around 7-8 layers of refining Qi, I'll be easier to talk to. I can directly evaluate you as having 'equivalent late-stage Refining Qi strength' or even 'equivalent great accomplishment Refining Qi strength', and then recommend you to join the Shenyuan Sect with confidence."

  "Recommend?"

  "That's right, I recommend!" Gu Shanhe replied: "In my position, I naturally have the qualifications to directly recommend you to the Shenyue Sect."

  Gu Shanhe didn't make it clear, but the Flying Fish Guard leader indeed had a recommendation for his disciples to practice in the Shen Xiao Sect. However, according to the rules of the Shen Xiao Sect, only those who were direct relatives of the Flying Fish Guard disciples who died heroically while on a mission could be recommended. But at some point, this qualification became a private privilege of the Flying Fish Guard leader.

  Gu Yinghua thought that being a brother was just being a brother, and the arrangement couldn't be better: "That's great, as long as you can enter the Shen Xiao Sect, you'll have the chance to catch up with me!"

  With the same qualifications, a sect disciple who mixed for a year was better than a loose cultivator who had been practicing for several years. Liu Suizong, as a wild cultivator, was most aware of the various shortcomings of loose cultivators, so he readily agreed: "Thank you, brother, I will go to Shenxiu Sect and cultivate well, at least I can enter the gate of Lingjingshan!"

  "To enter the gate of Lingjing Mountain" is a simple thing to say, but it's extremely difficult to do. Liu Suizhen estimated that she would need at least "some foundation-building power" to be able to enter Lingjing Mountain without being directly kicked out by Gu Yinghua and those senior sisters.

  If he continued to practice as a loose cultivator, Liu Suizhen felt that he wouldn't be able to reach this level even in twenty or thirty years. Moreover, the most important foundation-establishing pill could only be obtained from the sect, and as a loose cultivator, he had neither the channel nor the qualification to obtain it.

  Gu Shanhe still gave people a warm and sunny feeling, he said lightly: "No problem, recommending my brother-in-law to join the company is on me, but before that, I'd like to ask my brother-in-law for a small favor."

  Liu let out a sigh as he left, what was meant to come would still come after all. He absolutely didn't believe in phrases like "help me with a small favor". Although he didn't know the specific price, but the qualification for directly recommending a disciple into the Shenyue Sect had to be worth at least tens of millions - if converted to land, this could buy several estates.

  Even if it's his own brother-in-law, Gu Shanhe can't give up such a huge benefit without principle, so he doesn't beat around the bush: "Big Brother, please speak, I'll definitely get it done for Yinghua."

  Gu Yinghua was still leaning on Liu Suizhen's back, and she said softly: "Brother, you can't make things difficult for your brother-in-law. Although his cultivation is a bit weaker now, at its peak he had the cultivation of the 7th layer of Qi Refining, and with that Tian Lei Xing Dian sword in his hand, he has the strength of the 9th layer of Qi Refining. If he can successfully build his foundation, he will definitely be able to help you a lot."

  This is a common problem among cultivators, who deeply understand that the Great Way is difficult and not easy to achieve, with infinite magical powers and unlimited lifespan. The more they like to use their own people, even if they don't use their own people, they must be privately transmitted disciples or personally collected sworn sons. Although Gu Shanhe's work was special operations, he still liked to use his own people in key positions - this is not only a common problem among cultivators, but also a common problem among humans.

  So Gu Shanhe was somewhat moved by Gu Yinghua's words, but he still had his own thoughts: "Brother-in-law, you don't know how hot a direct recommendation from the Shenying Sect is. If you can't accomplish something, I won't be able to either, so please help me with a small favor..."

  "Lucky you're Liu Suizhen."

  Gu Yinghua did not have much of a reaction to Gu Shanhe's words for the time being.

  Luckily you're Xing Ruyue.

  Gu Yinghua always felt that Gu Shanhe's words were so awkward.

  "Lucky for you, you're Yan Ruo Jiang's man."

  Gu Yinghua finally understood the awkwardness of Gu Shanhe's words.

  Liu Suiyun also understood and blurted out: "Tianma Yuan?"

  His face still wore a smile like the first snow: "That's right, the number of horse thieves in Tianma Yuan is as many as thousands, and it will become a great scourge for my Great Han State in the future. You are a citizen of my Great Han State, and you would rather die than go to Tianma Yuan. Naturally, you don't want your old friend from yesterday to become the mortal enemy of the Great Han."

  Liu Suiyun only said one sentence: "This is digging the foundation of Xu Zhaodi's wall! The thing I least want to do in this life, perhaps, is not wanting to dig the foundation of Xu Zhaodi's wall."

  Gu Shanhe still had confidence in persuading Liu Suizhen: "But this is a very good thing, it's good for you, good for me, and also good for the Great Han State. It will even bring great benefits to Xu Zhaorong."

  "He said with a smile: 'I'm not asking you to dig up the foundation of Xu Zhaorong's wall, I know your relationship with Xu Zhaorong is close, otherwise this Tianlei Starfall Sword wouldn't have fallen into your hands. I just want you to gather your old subordinates and go back to Tianji County to settle old scores with the Pang family. As for how you settle those scores, I won't interfere. I just want the Pang family to experience what it's like to lose their closest relatives.'"

  Gu Shanhe's words somehow carried a hint of Ma Qianjun's tone, and Liu Suoyun shook his head: "This is still undermining Xu Zhaozhi's foundation, but for Yinghua..."

  "I'm done!"

  Gu Shanhe smiled: "I knew you were the best brother-in-law. Is there anything I can help with?"

  "This is a big deal, I need a lot of money, a lot, a lot of money."
