In the Great Snow Mountain Blessed Land, covered in white snow and towering into the clouds, the third snow peak stood like a colossal silver beast, silently between heaven and earth. Deep within this snow peak lay the Immortal Cave occupied by Fairy Li Shan.
Inside the Immortal Cave, the light was bright and the space vast. Dozens of light path Gu worms were embedded above, emitting bright rays that brought a touch of warmth to the silent space. Hei Lou Lan was fully engrossed in deducing his Strength Path killer move. The giant formed by Strength Path phantom images had a ferocious face and a fat, burly body, exactly like the male version of Hei Lou Lan. Every movement exuded immense power, yet this killer move was still unable to unleash its maximum potential, even though Hei Lou Lan possessed My Strength Immortal Gu, it had not changed.
Suddenly, an Information Path Gu worm in his immortal aperture twitched. Hei Lou Lan immediately stopped activating the killer move, and the Strength Path phantom giant slowly disappeared. His gaze fell upon an Information Path Gu worm. This Gu worm was Liu Chen's unique Information Path Gu worm, improved from the Self-Confidence King Legacy. At this moment, it was trembling slightly, clearly having received a message from the outside world.
Hei Lou Lan checked the message that had been transmitted. He unhesitatingly released the restrictions of his immortal aperture and simultaneously activated Star Gate Gu.
Liu Chen also activated Star Gate Gu. The two Star Gate Gu shone in conjunction, and a flash of starlight formed a starlight gate that slowly opened, connecting to Hei Lou Lan's Blessed Land.
Liu Chen's figure emerged from the Star Path gate. His steps were steady, as if he was already familiar with the environment here.
Hei Lou Lan opened his immortal aperture's entrance, and Liu Chen walked out from it, naturally approaching her and sitting on a stone stool opposite her.
"Fellow Daoist Wuming, what brings you here this time?" Hei Lou Lan looked at Liu Chen expressionlessly, asking in a calm tone.
Liu Chen did not waste words and directly stated his purpose: "This time, I plan to go to the Gu Exchange Convention to exchange the Immortal Gu I have. I heard that an Immortal Rank eight expert might participate in this Gu Exchange Convention, so I want to borrow Attitude Gu to disguise my identity."
His words were concise and to the point, without any unnecessary embellishment.
This Gu Exchange Convention had caused a stir in Northern Plains, creating quite a sensation. Hei Lou Lan was naturally aware of this, but she currently did not have her own business. All her immortal essence stones relied on Fang Yuan's Guts Gu business and the financial support from her aunt, Fairy Li Shan.
Moreover, she did not have any extra Immortal Gu to exchange, so she had no intention of participating in the Gu Exchange Convention. For her, instead of wasting time on this, it would be better to spend more time studying how to manage her immortal aperture.
"Don't you already possess Unacquainted Upon Meeting, a method of Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable? Are you still worried about others seeing through your true identity?" Hei Lou Lan scrutinized Liu Chen before her, pondering inwardly. This time, Liu Chen had changed his appearance again. If it weren't for their alliance, even if they stood face to face, Hei Lou Lan would definitely not be able to recognize this mysterious fellow.
One must know that Liu Chen already possessed such superb concealment methods, yet he still needed to use Attitude Gu to hide his true intentions. This made Hei Lou Lan intensely curious about his schemes at this Gu Exchange Convention. She thought to herself, Liu Chen's painstaking efforts must mean he has considerable ambitions and plans.
"This is merely a mortal Dao method. Even if it is Thieving Heaven Legacy, it has, after all, gone through tens of thousands of years! Over these long years, the various investigative methods in the Gu World have advanced with each passing day, emerging endlessly, so it's naturally difficult to have any absolute guarantee. Not to mention this Gu Exchange Convention, the participants are all Gu Immortal-level figures. They might possess Immortal Rank investigative killer moves! In such a case, my 'Unacquainted Upon Meeting' method would surely be exposed! Because of this, I need your Attitude Gu to compensate! You wouldn't refuse to lend it to me, would you?"
After Liu Chen finished speaking, he quickly pulled out a jar of excellent fine wine from his embrace and skillfully poured a bowl for himself and Hei Lou Lan. He picked up his bowl, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp. Then he placed the empty bowl back on the table, his gaze fixed on Hei Lou Lan, quietly awaiting her response.
Seeing this, Hei Lou Lan couldn't help but frown slightly, but she didn't directly refuse Liu Chen's request. After a moment of hesitation, she still took out the mask-like Attitude Gu from her immortal aperture and slowly said to Liu Chen, "Alright, I can lend you Attitude Gu, but there's one condition: you absolutely cannot exchange the Male Strength Immortal Gu."
"Oh? You're still thinking about the Male Strength Immortal Gu, aren't you?" Liu Chen's lips curved slightly upwards, looking at Hei Lou Lan with a half-smile, "However, Fairy Li Shan is not a Strength Path Gu Immortal; she can't assist you in your cultivation."
He paused, then continued, "How about this: you give me Attitude Gu, and I'll exchange it with Male Strength Immortal Gu, and also give you a Strength Path Legacy. What do you think?"
Liu Chen's words were understated, as if this was the most ordinary thing.
"What? You said you'd use Male Strength Immortal Gu and a Legacy to exchange for my Attitude Gu?" Hei Lou Lan's voice involuntarily rose by eight octaves, "That was originally my Immortal Gu; I naturally won't give it up! Attitude Gu is an Immortal Rank eight Gu. You actually want to exchange it for a Rank six Male Strength Immortal Gu plus a Legacy. Do you take me for a three-year-old child?"
Hei Lou Lan was so angry that her eyebrows shot up. She pointed at Liu Chen and roared furiously.
Facing Hei Lou Lan's anger, Liu Chen remained exceptionally calm. He smiled slightly and explained unhurriedly, "Don't get excited; this is just a suggestion. Even if you don't exchange, I can't force you. How about this: I'll add My Strength Immortal Gu, and use two Immortal Gu to exchange for this Attitude Gu?"
He paused, then continued, "Moreover, this Attitude Gu's help to you is limited; at most, it can only help you conceal your identity. In comparison, My Strength Immortal Gu and Male Strength Immortal Gu, plus this Unacquainted Upon Meeting killer move, will be more helpful for improving your strength."
Liu Chen's tone remained calm, seemingly unaffected by Hei Lou Lan's fury.
