Primordial Qi

Chapter 169 Being cheated

The Haoran Bell in his hand was somewhat out of control. It tried to break free from Gu Chenyu's hand, but found that it could not escape.

"Buzzing."

The Haoran Bell began to hum, and the sound became louder and louder. Erhei saw that the situation was not good, and ran outside in two steps. A dangerous aura emerged.

Gu Chenyu frowned, he suddenly let go of the Haoran Bell, and slapped it while it was suspended in the air. Gu Chenyu held up Gu Qingxue with one hand, fearing that he would wake her up. He looked at the Haoran Bell with an impatient look, and said angrily: "What should I do if it keeps buzzing and wakes up my Qingxue? I'll slap you and you'll behave yourself."

Tongtian Jing was shocked. How could people in later generations dare to reward the acquired spiritual treasure Dabidou?

The Haoran Bell stopped ringing. Gu Chenyu used his spiritual power to pull it into his hand, then let go of the Haoran Bell. A big bag was thrown over, and the Haoran Bell was knocked to the ground. It made another ringing sound of disobedience.

The big hand with spiritual power grabbed it, and with a big beating it made the buzzing sound even louder. Gu Chenyu raised the corner of his mouth, and hit it with a few big beatings, and it became obedient.

The Haoran Bell stopped buzzing. It lay quietly in Gu Chenyu's hand. He felt that his life was ruined.

"Just listen to me, don't shout. If you disturb the person in my arms, you'll be used as material to feed the Tongtian Mirror."

The Haoran Bell immediately shook, as if telling Gu Chenyu that he agreed.

"You were seriously injured and almost lost your true spirit, which is tantamount to wiping you out. So you want to take over my body and return to the world?" asked Gu Chenyu.

The Haoran Bell immediately shook violently. It had no such intention.

Tongtianjing at the side couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she said, "He wants to find a master, and seeing that you are full of righteousness, he wants to make you his master."

"Huh? Me?" Gu Chenyu asked uncertainly.

"Well, it was indeed seriously injured. Its true spirit was almost wiped out. It had no choice but to find a new host." Tongtian Jing explained.

"Why choose me?" Gu Chenyu asked curiously.

"It says it believes you."

"Oh? There is such a good thing?"

Gu Chenyu was obviously still a little hesitant. He didn't believe that pie would fall from the sky. This was a magic weapon held by the emperor. The grade must be very high. There might be many causes and effects involved. He would definitely not be able to get away from it at that time.

"It's okay. This is an acquired spiritual treasure. It is still very powerful even if it is injured. I promise you will not lose out if you accept it. Besides, the people around you all have secrets. If you don't have a treasure with you, you may not be able to protect yourself when the great world comes in the future."

"Okay, then I'll accept it reluctantly."

Gu Chenyu raised the corner of his mouth. With the Tongtian Mirror as a guarantee, then this treasure is worth owning. The Tongtian Mirror is the most taboo about cause and effect, so presumably the cause and effect involved with the Haoran Bell is not a big deal.

A drop of essence and blood was forced out of the body, and it slowly merged with the Haoran Bell. There was an ambiguous connection between the two. The Haoran Bell drilled into the Dantian and found a suitable place to stay. Gu Chenyu nodded with satisfaction. It was naturally a happy thing to get an acquired spiritual treasure.

The little girl transformed by the Tongtian Mirror was giggling. Gu Chenyu's face changed, and he realized that he might have been killed by the Tongtian Mirror.

A feeling of fatigue and weakness came over him, and Gu Chenyu's cultivation level dropped rapidly, from the late stage of Venerable, to the middle stage, to the early stage, and finally to the Grandmaster, and then stopped at the Gathering Spirit Realm.

"Tongtian Mirror, what on earth have you done? What the hell have you brought upon me?" Gu Chenyu was a little crazy. This was something he had cultivated with great effort, but now it seemed to be wasted.

"Hehehe." Tongtian Mirror chuckled with glee.

Gu Chenyu's face turned dark. He was actually tricked.

"Don't worry, there won't be any aftereffects. Haoran Bell is too weak and has only absorbed a little of your spiritual power. It will recover once it's replenished."

Hundreds of top-grade spirit stones flew out, and Gu Chenyu used several techniques to absorb the spiritual power in them. It was obvious that his defense was broken. If he did not recover his spiritual power, all his cultivation would be wasted.

The speed of spiritual power absorption was faster than its loss. It took three days to recover his cultivation, but those top-grade spiritual stones had turned into powder.

"Huh, I will need more resources for cultivation in the future. Haoran Bell is only at the level of Juling Realm, so it can't help me at all. I will also be involved in karma because of this. How can this Tongtian Mirror cheat me? It's too much."

Gu Chenyu was very angry. He should have given it to Erhei earlier. After all, it was he who dug it out, so it would be the best thing to give it to him.

"Boy, I feel like I'm losing out by recognizing you as my master!"

A small bell appeared in his sea of consciousness. Haoran Zhong looked at his sea of consciousness curiously and was very satisfied with it.

"Oh, you have a beautiful woman hidden in your golden house. You have one outside and another one in your sea of consciousness. Wow, you are so lucky."

Gu Chenyu's old face darkened again. How come Haoran Zhong was still such a chatterbox? His soul flew in front of Haoran Zhong and he raised his hand and wanted to slap it.

"Hey, don't hit me in the face, I'm just telling the truth, you can't beat up a loyal minister!"

"If you can't speak properly, I will break the contract with you even if it means backlash. Then I will destroy your true spirit and completely refine it into a bell for my spirit pet to hang around its neck." Gu Chenyu said gritting his teeth.

"Damn, young man from the future, are you so cruel?" Haoran Zhong was also frightened. He didn't want to continue to be hung by that dog.

"Humph, this guy Tongtianjing has screwed me over so badly. Now you are using a third-level magic weapon at most. Isn't this cheating me?"

"Won't it be fine when I become stronger? You go find some rare stones. When I recover to my peak, I can give them back to you."

"You are not trustworthy to me. The Tongtian Mirror said that your true spirit was gone, so I accepted you. But your true spirit is still alive and well."

Haoran Zhong felt somewhat helpless. His true spirit had indeed been extinguished, but he did not have only one true spirit. He himself was also a true spirit.

"There are some things you don't understand, such as your soul and your origin. Your soul has been erased, but your origin has not disappeared. At most, you have lost some memories and power. This is my situation now. I have lost a lot of memories, but it's not a big problem. I have always been looking forward." Haoran Zhong explained.

Gu Chenyu nodded. He didn’t want to waste time talking to Haoran Zhong anymore. He told it not to cause any trouble and just stay in its sea of consciousness or dantian. He would give it a chance in the future.

"I thought I had found a big boss, but here comes another guy who consumes my resources. I guess I must have gotten into trouble. I'm done for."

The Tongtian Mirror in Gu Qingxue's dantian was laughing like crazy. According to his calculations, Gu Chenyu would be dragged down by the Haoran Bell for at least tens of thousands of years. Without sufficient resources, the Haoran Bell could only be said to be something that consumed materials but could not produce any output. When he thought of having cheated Gu Chenyu, the Tongtian Mirror couldn't stop laughing again.

There was some movement in my arms. It was Gu Qingxue moving. Her brows were furrowed, as if she had dreamed of something bad.

The laughter in the Tongtian Mirror stopped, and it was a little afraid of being slapped by Gu Chenyu. Even though it was in Gu Qingxue's dantian, it didn't dare to shout.

Fortunately, she fell asleep soundly after a while, and Gu Chenyu finally felt relieved. He looked at Gu Qingxue quietly, feeling extremely at ease.

Many figures flew out from the outside world, and it was estimated that there were already thousands of people. The warehouse that Gu Qingxue was originally guarding was replaced by a new elder. Now that he heard that there was a spiritual vein there, he couldn't sit still and wanted to go mining together.

Gu Chenyu was confused as he carried Gu Qingxue to the warehouse. The warehouse was filled with magic arrays and various rare resources. He was guarding the door, feeling helpless. He could only look but not take anything. If someone lost something, they would probably look for him...

There were several dog paw prints in the magic circle. Gu Chenyu looked puzzled. Has this place been visited by a dog?

At night, Gu Qingxue woke up. She became weak and began to feel sleepy. She could only stay awake for two or three hours a day. After a while, she might start to lose her memory.

A wretched figure appeared in the formation, and no one knew how he broke into it. Gu Chenyu looked at the big black dog in front of him and fell into deep thought. Isn't this Erhei?

Seeing that it was Gu Chenyu who was blocking it, Erhei's originally wretched and hunched body suddenly straightened up, and it walked leisurely in front of Gu Chenyu.

"Two black."

Gu Chenyu called out, very curious about how it got in.
