Chapter 518

The middle-aged man was amused by his words, but he still controlled his temper. "Look carefully, this is called a Essence crystal."

With a flip of his hand, he took out a glowing crystal. It looked much better than Gu Chen's Essence crystal.

In comparison, Gu Chen's Essence crystal was like a rock.

"Looks like the difference between the Kunlun Continent and the Immortal Spirit Continent is greater than I thought."

Gu Chen sighed. Essence crystal was the common currency among cultivators. Aside from being used to buy talismans and treasures, the Essence it contained could also be used for cultivation.

The quality of the Essence crystal used in the Immortal Spirit Continent was much better than that of the Kunlun Continent. If ordinary people used such Essence crystals to cultivate, it was no wonder that a strong cultivation civilization was born.

Gu Chen did not know that the war thirty thousand years ago not only destroyed the Kunlun Continent's civilization, but also destroyed many Essence veins in the Kunlun Continent.

Furthermore, the Heavenly Dao suppressed the environment, making it difficult to form high-quality Essence crystal mines. With all these reasons, it was much harder for a cultivator to emerge in the Kunlun Continent than in the Immortal Spirit Continent.

Seeing that he could not use the Essence crystals of the Kunlun Continent, Gu Chen decided to trade and took out a treasure from the Armament King's Armory.

This time, the middle-aged man's expression eased up. After some bargaining, the two of them finally came to a deal.

"Fellow Daoist, where are you from? How come you don't even know about Essence crystals? I thought you were purposely making fun of me."

The middle-aged man handed the invitation to Gu Chen and said with a smile.

"I live alone on a remote island and rarely come here. I hope fellow Daoist can forgive me."

Gu Chen said casually.

"So fellow Daoist is also a loose cultivator. It's not easy for us."

When the middle-aged man heard Gu Chen's words, he immediately resonated with him and his tone became more intimate.

In the Immortal Spirit Continent, most cultivators joined sects to cultivate. After all, sects had the most cultivation resources.

However, there was a small number of people who became loose cultivators due to luck or other reasons. Compared to cultivators with sects, it was much harder for a loose cultivator to cultivate.

Seeing that Gu Chen was also a rogue cultivator and looked so young, the middle-aged man immediately wanted to help him. He was afraid that Gu Chen was a hothead who knew nothing.

"If you want to participate in the Heavenly Sea Banquet, why don't you come with me? We're both vagrant cultivators, so we can look out for each other. My name is Zhuang Fan. What about you, fellow Daoist? "

"Didn't you already sell me your invitation? How do we get there? "Gu Chen was slightly surprised.

"Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but I have some connections. It's very easy to get a few dozen invitations."

Zhuang Fan smiled proudly. This young man's inexperienced appearance made him have an even better impression of him.

Gu Chen came to a sudden realization. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that he was unfamiliar with the place and the people. It would not be good for him to go to the Sea and Sky Banquet alone. He might as well agree to this person's request.

He could see that this person's cultivation base was only at the early Deva Realm, which meant that he couldn't pose any threat to him, so there was no need to worry about him harboring evil intentions.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Zhuang. My surname is Gu Chen," Gu Chen said with a smile.

"Your surname is Gu?" Zhuang Fan was shocked.

"What's wrong?" Gu Chen looked puzzled.

Seeing Gu Chen's blank expression, Zhuang Fan remembered that he was only a vagrant cultivator, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Frined Gu, this surname is not simple. It's extremely rare on the Immortal Spirit Continent. When you mentioned it, I thought you were from the Gu Clan!"

Gu Chen thought of something and pretended to be confused. "Is the Gu Clan very powerful?"

"Not just powerful." Zhuang Fan sighed. "It's the number one ancient family on the continent, so powerful that they can stand side by side with the 68 Immortal Sects!

"It's said that the blood of tyrants flows in this clan, and they walk a different path from the Immortal Dao. They are unique on the continent. Because this clan is so domineering, no family on the continent would dare to follow the surname Gu.

"In order to ensure the purity of their bloodline, the Gu Clan rarely marries outsiders. As time goes by, the surname Gu has become even rarer.

"Frined Gu, your surname is Gu. Maybe your ancestor is from a branch of the Gu Clan."

Zhuang Fan laughed at the end. This was purely a joke.

If Gu Chen was really from the Gu Clan, even if he was from an unremarkable branch, he wouldn't be reduced to a vagrant cultivator who didn't even know what Origin Crystals were.

"This Gu Clan does sound powerful."

Gu Chen pretended to be surprised and nodded. He had a better understanding of the power of the Gu Clan.

"I'll continue to sell invitations here. Frined Gu can walk around. The scenery of the Penglai Islands is pretty good. But remember to gather here in three days. At that time, we'll go to the Sea and Sky Banquet together. "

Zhuang Fan gave him a few reminders before he continued to sell his invitations.

A Heaven Realm cultivator was a Sage in the Kunlun Continent, overseeing a power. However, in the Immortal Spirit Continent, he was a vagrant cultivator who had to work hard to survive. This made Gu Chen sigh.

Gu Chen followed Zhuang Fan's instructions and toured the Penglai Islands. The scenery here was very good. The sea and sky were one, and there were many beautiful sceneries.

What interested him even more were the local customs and practices. In a short three days, he had already assimilated into the atmosphere here.

Three days later, Gu Chen returned to the original island. Zhuang Fan was already waiting for him.

Aside from him, there were six other people with him.

"Frined Gu, they are also vagrant cultivators. This time, we'll go to the Penglai Mountains together. At least we can take care of each other." Zhuang Fan saw Gu Chen sizing up the other six people and explained with a smile.

Gu Chen nodded. He discovered that these six people were also in the Heaven Realm.

After three days of assimilating into the life on the islands, Gu Chen already knew what cultivation realm the cultivators here were in.

On the islands near the sea, Heaven Realm cultivators were actually not as weak as he imagined. In some small sects, Heaven Realm cultivators were already at the level of elders and sect leaders.

Considering that the cultivation difficulty of vagrant cultivators was much higher than that of sect disciples, Zhuang Fan being able to gather such a group of companions showed that he was very skilled.

"Daoist Zhuang, this person looks too young. He won't be a burden to us, right?"

When the six people saw that Gu Chen looked so young and had different expressions, an ugly middle-aged nun frowned and asked bluntly.

"This … Daoist Ma, I'm also a vagrant cultivator. Frined Gu is not familiar with this place. It's fine to help each other."

Zhuang Fan said hesitantly.

Honestly speaking, he was not very clear about Gu Chen's strength. He hid it very well.

However, because the magic treasure he used to exchange for the invitations was not bad, he deduced that his strength was not too bad.

In addition, he had a good impression of the other party's hothead appearance, so he naturally spoke up for him.

Gu Chen sensed the indistinct hostility of several people present, and he felt a little unhappy.

They were just going the same way. Did they have to be divided into different levels?

"You can't say that, Daoist Zhuang. You also know that vagrant cultivators like us are easily looked down upon in an occasion like the Feast of the Sea and Sky. If our companions are too weak, we will be implicated."
