"You want to exchange Fixed Immortal Travel for Guts Gu?" This time, even the usually calm Fang Yuan couldn't help but feel some doubt about Liu Chen's idea.
After all, although Guts Gu could enhance the foundation of one's soul, its value was incomparable to an Immortal Gu.
However, Liu Chen seemed to explain with confidence: "Of course, I'm not giving you Fixed Immortal Travel, but lending it to you for use. Just like Tai Bai Yun Sheng lent me his two Immortal Gu, I chose to exchange them for information about Immortal Zombie Rebirth. As for you, you just need to give me Guts Gu according to the number of days. Anyway, you have Soul Shaking Mountain, so you can have as many Guts Gu as you want."
There were two main reasons why Liu Chen decided to lend Fixed Immortal Travel to Fang Yuan.
Firstly, he actually had a better option—the Anti-Counterfeit Immortal Gu. This Immortal Gu could transform into Fixed Immortal Travel, which perfectly met his needs.
Secondly, he deeply understood Fang Yuan's future. If Fang Yuan didn't have Fixed Immortal Travel, his ability to cause trouble would inevitably be greatly reduced. And if the Gu World didn't have a figure like Fang Yuan to stir up the winds and clouds, the entire Gu World would become unusually calm, which obviously didn't fit Liu Chen's plan to fish in troubled waters.
"Then, based on the time Tai Bai Yun Sheng lent you his Immortal Gu, with a one-month limit, I can provide an additional nine hundred Guts Gu." Fang Yuan secretly calculated in his heart. Although this was far less than the quantity he originally hoped for, it was still an opportunity. He naturally wouldn't easily let go of this chance to obtain Fixed Immortal Travel, so he said without hesitation.
However, Liu Chen was clearly not satisfied with this number. He immediately retorted: "Nine hundred? Are you trying to send off a beggar? At least three thousand, no less! Are you going to exchange or not? Fixed Immortal Travel or immortal essence stones, you choose!" Liu Chen's tone was firm, leaving no room for Fang Yuan to bargain.
Facing Liu Chen's strong attitude, Fang Yuan felt a bit helpless. He knew Liu Chen was deliberately raising the price, but Fixed Immortal Travel was too important to him; he couldn't give it up. After an internal struggle, Fang Yuan finally gritted his teeth and agreed to Liu Chen's demand: "Alright, three thousand it is!"
This number was already the limit Fang Yuan could accept. Although he was somewhat unwilling, in the face of the immense temptation of Fixed Immortal Travel, he could only comply.
However, Fang Yuan did not intend to let it go at that. He secretly decided that when he sold Guts Gu in the future, he would definitely raise the price to make up for this loss.
"I will look forward to your Guts Gu," Liu Chen said with a slight smile and a relaxed tone. He gently waved his sleeve, and Fixed Immortal Travel, like an obedient bird, slowly landed in front of Fang Yuan.
Seeing this, Fang Yuan's lips curved slightly, revealing a smile. He quickly put Fixed Immortal Travel into his possession.
"Alright, let's go find Fairy Li Shan and Hei Lou Lan. We shouldn't keep them waiting." Fang Yuan's voice revealed a hint of urgency, seemingly full of anticipation for the upcoming meeting.
Liu Chen naturally wouldn't refuse. He nodded, indicating his agreement. So, Fang Yuan immediately called upon the Earth Spirit Little Fox Fairy to transfer the three of them to where Fairy Li Shan and Hei Lou Lan were located.
"The three Fellow Daoists have finished their discussion, and I also have good news to tell you," Fairy Li Shan said, beaming with joy, as she saw Liu Chen and the other two arrive, and quickly stood up.
Upon hearing this, Liu Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of curiosity, and he eagerly asked: "Oh? What good news? Tell me quickly."
"It's like this: there are some clues about the Wisdom Path Inheritance that Fellow Daoist Fang Yuan inquired about. As far as I know, Dongfang Changfan unfortunately perished some time ago, and even the Gu Immortals of the Dongfang Tribe are not aware of the Wisdom Path Inheritance he left behind. Currently, only his successor, Dongfang Yuliang, holds some clues," Fairy Li Shan explained in detail.
"Oh? This is truly interesting news." Liu Chen's eyes flashed with excitement, "Dongfang Changfan's Wisdom Path Inheritance is undoubtedly a highly valuable target."
"Indeed, such a Legacy is truly a rare opportunity," Fang Yuan echoed, showing the importance he placed on this news.
Fairy Li Shan smiled slightly and continued: "My Legacy has naturally attracted the covetous gaze of many Demonic Path Gu Immortals. However, because I signed an alliance with Dongfang Changfan, I cannot act against the Dongfang Tribe. But I can introduce you to those Demonic Path Gu Immortals, giving you the opportunity to participate."
Liu Chen and Fang Yuan exchanged glances, both seeing interest in this proposal in each other's eyes.
"Then we will trouble Fairy Li Shan," Liu Chen readily agreed; he naturally wouldn't miss this good opportunity.
"Me too, I am very grateful for Fairy Li Shan's help," Fang Yuan quickly said, expressing his gratitude to Fairy Li Shan.
As Hei Lou Lan had just successfully ascended to an Immortal, her immortal aperture suffered a dual impact from a Heavenly Tribulation and an Earth Calamity, leaving it severely damaged. Facing such a situation, Hei Lou Lan decided to stay in Fox Immortal Blessed Land to use Tai Bai Yun Sheng's Land As Before Immortal Gu to restore the damage to her immortal aperture.
At the same time, Liu Chen was not idle either. He fully utilized this period to successfully replicate the two Immortal Gu, Person as Before and Land As Before. This meant that he no longer needed these two Immortal Gu, but now possessed his own replicas.
Not only that, Liu Chen also took this opportunity to go to Soul Shaking Mountain to collect the Guts Gu Fang Yuan owed him. This trip not only allowed him to obtain the Guts Gu as he wished, enhancing his soul foundation, but also earned him a colorful treasure chest.
As Immortal Crane Sect was eyeing Fox Immortal Blessed Land, Fang Yuan realized that he might not be able to cope with them alone. So, he came up with a plan and decided to ask other forces for external assistance to deter the Gu Immortals of Immortal Crane Sect.
Fang Yuan knew clearly that even the powerful Immortal Crane Sect could not gather too many Gu Immortals at once. After all, the number of Gu Immortals was limited, and each Gu Immortal had their own affairs and territories to protect. Therefore, at most, only one or two Gu Immortals would come to attack.
However, Fang Yuan was not worried about this. Because he had Fairy Li Shan, a Rank Seven Gu Immortal, to hold the line, plus the others might make Immortal Crane Sect wary. Their overall strength was not to be underestimated and should be enough to make Immortal Crane Sect calm down and not act rashly.
Of course, if Immortal Crane Sect was truly pushed to the brink, Fang Yuan also had a countermeasure. He could decisively destroy this Blessed Land and then quickly escape with the power of Fixed Immortal Travel. Even if Soul Shaking Mountain was destroyed as a result, he had a way to make it reappear.
Considering these factors, Fang Yuan made a request to Fairy Li Shan and others, hoping they could stay in Fox Immortal Blessed Land to jointly resist the threat of Immortal Crane Sect. Everyone agreed to his proposal, as this not only concerned Fang Yuan's interests but also their own safety.
Thus, except for Fairy Li Shan, who needed to return to Northern Plains to handle some urgent matters as the third leader of Great Snow Mountain Blessed Land, everyone else decided to stay in Fox Immortal Blessed Land to assist Fang Yuan in dealing with potential crises.
Finally, Fang Yuan used Fixed Immortal Travel to safely send Fairy Li Shan back to Northern Plains, allowing her to handle matters there in time, and also to be able to pick her up at a critical moment.
