- Chapter 83: (2): The Bustling Great Stone Village
The major clans only pass on their heritage to members of the same clan and surname. Outsiders without blood ties are completely excluded, no matter how talented they may be.
It is precisely because of this deeply ingrained tendency to treasure one’s own possessions that many ordinary people have nowhere to turn, leading to a situation where over 95% of the Gu cultivators in this world are independent rogue cultivators.
However, even if they won’t be taught the core secrets, it’s enough to make the commoners from various villages flock to them, eagerly competing for any kind of work.
The original owner had once excitedly participated in one of these menial job selection events, only to return dejectedly.
He was the first to be eliminated; as soon as he went up, he was sent back down because he had the Ten Absolute bodies…
At this moment, Long Xuan was quite interested in this menial job selection event of the Long clan.
He was considering whether to send a clone to infiltrate the Long family, use the Origin realm to copy the Long clan’s library, and obtain all their secret knowledge.
Perhaps the key to condensing his external Dharma image was hidden in the Long clan’s library. If he sent a clone to infiltrate the Long family, he might actually solve the problem of his inability to condense the Dharma image.
The more Long Xuan thought about it, the more feasible this plan seemed, and it was worth a try. Perhaps the opportunity for him to cultivate the Dharma image divine power lay here.
Long Xuan’s face lit up with joy, and the gloom of many days was swept away.
He looked around and found a corner where no one was watching. Then, he released a water clone and ordered it to participate in the Long clan’s menial job selection event, to infiltrate the Long family and carry out an undercover mission.
The water clone happily went up, seemingly enjoying the thrill of being a spy. However, he went up quickly and came back just as fast, looking dejectedly at the original body.
Long Xuan was stunned. How did he get eliminated so quickly? This wasn’t how the script was supposed to go. He was the protagonist, so according to the plot, he should have definitely been selected for the menial job. Why weren’t they playing by the rules?
A bewildered Long Xuan quickly checked the water clone’s memories and soon wore an awkward expression, finally understanding what had happened.
When the water clone went up, the Long clan’s Gu cultivators saw that he had the Ten Absolute Body and immediately dismissed him, not even assigning him the job of cleaning toilets.
Long Xuan was dumbfounded. What had his Ten Absolute Body done to deserve this? How could even dogs despise him, to the point where he wasn’t even fit to clean toilets?
Apparently, the last time the original owner participated in the menial job selection event, he was also thrown out for this reason.
The Gu cultivators of the Long clan responsible for the selection happened to be the same group, and Long Xuan’s familiar face was exposed as soon as he went up, so he was immediately driven away, losing face again.
Long Xuan sighed bitterly and, with no other choice, left this place that had caused him so much grief.
He was not going to give up on this plan; no matter what, he had to get a clone into the Long family.
It wasn’t just about finding the secret to condensing the Dharma image; he was genuinely interested in the various inheritances of the Long clan.
Whether it was the Yellow Emperor’s Dragon Technique, the Inverse Dragon Technique, the Force neutralization art, or the Long Qilin’s Ascending Dragon Gu and Earth Gu, or even the Evil Dragon Emperor Eye of the Elder Long.
He found the inheritance of this large clan to be incredibly powerful, offering him much to learn from.
The profundity of this Gu cultivator family’s unique inheritance didn’t seem like it came from a small place; it must have a significant secret and a great background.
Thus, he was very interested in this large clan and planned to send a spy to package up all their unique secret techniques.
Then, after learning everything, he would quietly leave. He couldn’t help but praise himself for being so clever. How could he be so smart?
However, since the menial job selection event didn’t work, he would have to find another way.
Long Xuan quickly came up with an idea and walked directly toward where the Elder Long was.
Yes, he planned to seek a way in through the Elder Long.
Over the years, the formula for the Hundred Flowers Pill, which was almost killing the Elder Long, had finally been successfully repaired by him. It hadn’t been easy, and it made him smile for three days straight.
Although the Elder Long’s Hundred Flowers Pill formula was finally repaired, the materials used were obviously different from Long Xuan’s, making its efficacy slightly weaker.
Perhaps due to his lightened mood, the knot in his heart was lifted, and he soon broke through, becoming a Gu cultivator in the Spiritual Sea stage, one of the few experts in the region.
In addition to his special status as an alchemist, after advancing to the Spiritual Sea stage, he had the potential to become a third-rank alchemist. It should be noted that there wasn’t a single third-rank alchemist in the entire Far West region.
When that time came, his status would soar, and his future would be bright.
So Long Xuan had a premonition that the day he would leave Great Stone Village was not far off.
As a Spiritual Sea stage alchemist, he would no longer stay in a small village of commoners. That would be a waste of his talent. The head of the Long clan would definitely send other Long clan Gu cultivators to replace him.
So Long Xuan wanted to hold onto this future potential Gu cultivator, have his clone leave Great Stone Village with him, and follow him to the Long family, continue taking care of the medicine garden, and then secretly learn everything before finding an opportunity to leave.
But it was uncertain whether Elder Long would remember past favors or if he still needed menial workers.
