Gu Xiang looked at Li Tianqi quietly: "You don't want the Nine-Curved Ganoderma lucidum?"

Li Tianqi shook his head: "No! Mother-in-law, let's leave here now!"

"You said so lightly. It took me several months to bring you to the Red Sea. How could you leave easily!" Gu Xiang said.

"But..." Li Tianqi still wanted to speak.

"No, but." Gu Xiang walked to a chair and sat down: "I told you that in about a year, I will usher in a great disaster."

"I know." Li Tianqi nodded.

"If I can overcome the great heavenly tribulation, I can ascend to the fairy world. If I can't overcome the great heavenly tribulation, I will be destroyed... You are the successor I chose. Once I ascend to the fairy world or die, you will be in charge of Lingshan." Gu Xiang said.

Li Tianqi was stunned: "What? Let me take charge of Lingshan?"

"Yes, take charge of Lingshan." Gu Xiang nodded: "Didn't I tell you that the Gate of the Demon Realm is in Lingshan? Your duty is to guard the Gate of the Demon Realm."

"Guarding the Gate of the Demon Realm..." Li Tianqi's face was full of surprise.

"In ancient times, some powerful people joined forces to seal the gate of the Demon Realm, and then left a group of people to guard Lingshan. These people formed a sect called Lingshan Sect, which was one of the earliest immortal cultivation sects. The people of the Lingshan Sect never talked about the world and only focused on guarding the gate of the Demon Realm. Therefore, the outside world almost didn't know the existence of the Lingshan Sect. Senior Dongfang of the Human Emperor is from the Lingshan Sect, and I am also from the Lingshan Sect. The main responsibility of the Lingshan Sect is to guard the gate of the Demon Realm." Speaking of this, Gu Xiang paused: "Because it is related to guarding the gate of the Demon Realm, the Lingshan Sect was very cautious when collecting **. It had to go through many tests. Only by passing the test can you join the Lingshan Sect... In recent years, I have only studied ** everywhere, but unfortunately there are too few people who have passed the test... It took me many years to find two people who have passed the test, one is Luo Pang, and the other is you."

Li Tianqi's face twitched. How difficult is the test of Lingshan Sect? Guxiang took so long, but only two people passed the test? This is too nonsense!

"Luo Pang is very simple, without any scheming, and his qualifications are average, so Luo Pang is unable to guard the gate of the Demon Realm at all. Now you are the only one... you can continue the inheritance of the Lingshan Sect and guard the gate of the Demon Realm." Gu Xiang said.

"Mother-in-law...you...you are so proud of me..." Li Tianqi said with a wry smile.

"Li Tianqi, you don't have to be modest. You are flexible in mind, scheming, and have one in a million qualifications. You are fully capable of guarding the gate of the Demon Realm!" Gu Xiang said.

"But..." Li Tianqi wanted to say something else.

"What? Don't you want to?" Gu Xiang's tone turned cold.

"No, it's not that I don't want to, I'm just afraid of messing up the matter..." Li Tianqi said worriedly.

"Li Tianqi, it is actually very simple to guard the gate of the Demon Realm. As long as you protect the formation outside the gate of the Demon Realm, you don't have to do anything else." Gu Xiang said: "Li Tianqi, I have high expectations for you, I hope you don't let me down!"

Li Tianqi sighed softly: "Mother-in-law, you are kind to me. You teach me magic, help me improve my cultivation, and give me several treasures, saving my life. I owe you too much... Since my mother-in-law spoke, I will definitely guard the gate of the Demon Realm." To be honest, Li Tianqi doesn't want to guard the gate of the Demon Realm. He doesn't want to put a circle around his neck and bind himself, but Li Tianqi really can't refuse Guxiang. As Li Tianqi said, he owe Guxiang too much.

Hearing Li Tianqi agree, Guxiang's tone eased a little: "Now do you understand? You are very important to me, so I must get Jiuqu Ganoderma lucidum to help you repair your meridians and dantian."

"But that Water Emperor wants you to marry his son..." Li Tianqi said anxiously.

Gu Xiang shook her head slightly: "In order to continue the inheritance of the Lingshan Sect, I can bear any grievances."

"Mother-in-law...you...you don't really have to agree..." Li Tianqi's eyes suddenly glared.

"If there is really no way, I can only agree." Gu Xiang said.

"No!" Li Tianqi waved his hand: "Absolutely not! Mother-in-law, I must not let you suffer any grievance! Then I am dead, and I cannot let you suffer any grievance!"

Gu Xiang's face sank: "I just said very clearly. You must survive and continue the inheritance of the Lingshan Sect. I can't see the Lingshan Sect being broken in my hands."

"Mother-in-law..." Li Tianqi still wanted to speak.

"Okay, I'm tired and I'm going to rest." Gu Xiang didn't want to get involved with Li Tianqi anymore, so she got up and walked towards the back hall.

Li Tianqi clenched his fists and his face turned red. He felt so cowardly. A big man actually relied on a woman to sacrifice himself to save him... Li Tianqi really couldn't accept it.

...

Three days pass in a flash.

The red gold comes every day, pestering Guxiang to flatter, but Guxiang has a cold attitude towards Hongjin.

The deadline has come, Gu Xiang and Li Tianqi come to the Water Emperor Hall again.

"Fellow Taoist Gu, what are you thinking?" Shui Emperor asked with a smile.

Hongjin looked at Gu Xiang with anticipation and couldn't help but hold her hands.

Li Tianqi also stared at Gu Xiang, looking a little nervous.

Gu Xiang nodded: "I agreed."

"That's great!" Hongjin jumped high and cheered loudly.

The Shui Emperor also smiled: "Haha... Fellow Taoist Gu, from now on, you will be my daughter-in-law, haha..."

"Mother-in-law..." Li Tianqi was anxious. He was about to speak, but Gu Xiang stopped him.

Gu Xiang's fingers moved slightly, and Li Tianqi found that he could not make any sound, and he could not even move his body. He was worthy of being a great monk in the late stage of the tribulation. With a gentle move of his fingers, he could imprison Li Tianqi.

"Your Majesty the Water Emperor, I have agreed to your conditions. Should you give me the Nine-Curved Ganoderma lucidum?" Gu Xiang said lightly.

"No, no hurry. After you get married with Hongjin, I will give you the Jiuqu Ganoderma lucidum." The Water Emperor waved his hand.

"It's inappropriate!" Gu Xiang disagreed.

The King of Water's laughter came to an abrupt end, and his brows slowly frowned: "What? Don't you believe me? Worry that I will regret it?"

Gu Xiang shook her head: "It's not that I don't believe in His Majesty the Water Emperor, but that it's a big deal that concerns me and I can't tolerate my carelessness."

"What do you want?" asked the Water Emperor.

"Give me the Jiuqu Ganoderma lucidum first." Gu Xiang said.

"Impossible!" The Water Emperor refused: "You are worried that I will regret it, but I am worried that you will regret it."

"Your Majesty the Water Emperor, since I, Gu Xiang, have promised you, I will definitely not regret it." Gu Xiang said.

"Fellow Taoist Gu, it's not that I don't give you face, but that the Nine-Curved Ganoderma lucidum is too expensive, I have to be more cautious! I hope you can forgive me!" The Water Emperor did not give in at all.

Gu Xiang pondered for a moment: "This way, I can let you seal my magic power and spiritual consciousness. In this way, I will not have any threat to you. What do you think?"

"Cross your magic power and spiritual consciousness?" A trace of hesitation appeared on the Water Emperor's face.

Gu Xiang didn't speak, quietly waiting for the final decision of the Water Emperor.

"Father, you agree." Hongjin was worried that the Shui Emperor and Gu Xiang would have a quarrel, so he had to persuade the Shui Emperor.

The King of Water thought for a moment: "Okay, just do what you said! Come on!"

"Swish!"

Two guards in armor flew into the hall: "See Your Majesty!"

"Go and get a nine-curved Ganoderma lucidum!" The Water Emperor ordered.

The two guards were stunned.

"Didn't you hear what I said?" Seeing the two guards standing there without moving, the Water Emperor's face suddenly darkened.

"Ah... let's go now." The two guards came to their senses and quickly turned around and left the hall.

The Emperor of Water nodded to Gu Xiang: "Fellow Taoist Gu, wait for a moment, and the Jiuqu Ganoderma lucidum will be brought over immediately."

Gu Xiang nodded and said nothing.

Li Tianqi was so anxious that he wanted to stop him, but he couldn't make a sound, his body couldn't move, and his eyes turned red.

The happiest thing is Hong Jin. Hong Jin’s greatest wish in his life is to take Gu Xiang as his wife. Now his wish is about to come true. Hong Jin is not too happy. Thinking of Gu Xiang’s national-colored face, a hot stream flows out of Hong Jin’s heart...

A moment of effort.

The two guards came back, and one of them took a step forward and handed a red rectangular jade box to the Water King.

The Shui Emperor reached out and gently pressed the jade box, with a hint of reluctance on his face.

"Father..." Hongjin couldn't help but shout.

The King of Water breathed out and reached out and handed the jade box to Guxiang.

Gu Xiang reached out to open the jade box and saw a plant with nine leaves lying inside. The plant was blood red and exuded a pungent medicinal fragrance. Gu Xiang nodded slightly. Yes, it was Jiuqu Ganoderma lucidum.

"Fellow Taoist Gu, the Nine-Curved Ganoderma lucidum has been given to you, you should fulfill your promise." Shui Emperor reminded.

Gu Xiang closed the lid and moved her fingers slightly. Li Tianqi recovered from his throat and could speak.

"Mother-in-law..." As soon as Li Tianqi spoke two words, Gu Xiang stuffed the jade box into Li Tianqi's hand.

"Get it." Li Tianqi shook his head: "No, I don't want this, mother-in-law, take me away, I don't want the Jiuqu Ganoderma lucidum anymore... I don't want it anymore..." The more Li Tianqi said, the louder the louder heavier.

Gu Xiang's face darkened: "Shut up!"

"Mother-in-law..." Li Tianqi still wanted to speak.

"I'll shut up! Did you hear it?" Gu Xiang suddenly raised her hand.

Li Tianqi stepped forward: "Mother-in-law, even if you beat me to death, I will say it! Mother-in-law, you can't be wronged. You don't like that red gold at all. You can't marry him!"

The faces of the Shui Emperor and Hong Jin suddenly became gloomy.

"Do you think I really don't dare to hit you!" Gu Xiang slapped Li Tianqi's chest with a palm.

Li Tianqi immediately fell out, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of the air, "Bang!" Li Tianqi fell heavily to the ground.
Chapter completed!
