"Congratulations, once you pass this road, you will be qualified to meet the ancestor of our tribe." The young man congratulated.
Gu Wudi nodded slightly.
Qingyue on the side did not show any expression. At this moment, her chest was heaving violently, her long black hair was fluttering, her long legs were trembling slightly, her whole body was sweating profusely, and she looked overexerted. She was already incredibly beautiful, and now she showed a side of her that she had never seen before, becoming even more attractive.
Gu Wudi couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart at such a close distance, but fortunately he was able to accurately control every tiny seed in his body, and he remained calm on the surface.
"I almost fell into the illusion." Qingyue said with lingering fear.
Gu Wudi was speechless. To be honest, Qingyue should have very little combat experience, and it was actually very dangerous to take this road. But in the end, she successfully made it through. He didn't believe that there was no Qingyue Flame factor involved.
This perfect fire seed was placed in a fairy formation and various checkpoints were set up. No one knew what secrets were hidden behind it. Only Qingyue, the host, might know.
However, Gu Wudi would not ask. Everyone has their own secrets. If someone wants to reveal them, they will tell them actively. There is no need to ask.
"Let's go."
Gu Wudi called out and walked forward side by side with Qingyue.
At this time, vague voices were heard, some male and some female, very ethereal, and one could tell at the first hearing that they were not from ordinary people.
“Has anyone walked that road again?”
"Alas, I hope their arrival can dispel the sadness in the Lord's heart."
There is a mistake in the previous part. Qingyue should be the eighth disciple accepted by the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, and there were seven before her.
"The tenth person" means that Shi Hao is the tenth person to drink that kind of tea, and the first one is the Lord of the Forbidden Zone himself.

Chapter 121 Bitter and Astringent
"Lord..."
The moment this name appeared, Gu Wudi understood who was talking. It was the two Taoist children, one male and one female, under the command of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone.
Although he is a Taoist child, he is not an ordinary person and has already reached the realm of immortality.
Even the Taoist boy is a true immortal, so one can imagine how powerful the Lord of the Forbidden Zone was when he was alive.
When he was at the peak of his powers, he single-handedly embarked on the road that even the Immortal Kings feared, conquered the sea of realms, and reached its depths. Unfortunately, he met with a disaster in the end. After hundreds of battles, he fought back with his last breath, climbed over the dam and returned to the original ancient world. Not long after, he passed away.
Such strength may have already reached the level of giants.
After all, when Ao Sheng and Tai Shi recognized the golden bone palm, crystal skull, and bleeding eyeballs, they regarded them as fellow travelers, which showed that they had the strength of Immortal King level when they were alive. When the three old monsters met the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, they all lamented that he had come a long way and described him as "when will I transcend?"
Various signs indicate that the Lord of the Forbidden Zone was a giant during his lifetime, transcending the extremes that ordinary Immortal Kings could reach and being high above everyone else.
However, the boundary sea was too dangerous, and even someone as strong as him found it difficult to roam freely, and he eventually fell.
Just as Gu Wudi's thoughts were wandering, he saw a man and a woman walking towards him in the distance.
The man was about twenty years old and seemed to be in the prime of his life. The woman was younger, like a young girl, beautiful, fresh and unworldly, like a fairy descending to the earth.
They walked out together, carrying an immortal aura, sacred and transcendent.
Qingyue was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the people around the restricted area master were so young.
However, she didn't dare to really think that the other party was young. From their eyes that had experienced the vicissitudes of life, it could be seen that the two of them had definitely lived through an extremely long life, otherwise, it would be impossible for them to be by the side of the master of the restricted area.
"Are you the ones who broke through that road?" The young man walked forward step by step. His every move was in line with the great way of heaven and earth, and his every move was filled with the glory of immortality.
"Replying to Senior, it is us."
Gu Wudi responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Hmm? Your path... is a little strange, unprecedented, perhaps..."
The man was surprised after just a few glances at Gu Wudi and immediately became very interested.
Hearing this, the woman also looked at Gu Wudi. After a glance, she was shocked.
As the Taoist children of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, they have accompanied him for endless years. During this period, they have witnessed one peerless genius after another come here, be appreciated by the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, and be granted the great Dharma.
The paths of these geniuses are all amazing, and one can tell at a glance that they will become immortals in the future. However, no other living being has ever given people such a deep sense of shock as Gu Wudi.
The path he was walking seemed to be an unparalleled path that no one had ever walked before.
The two Taoist boys looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
In an instant, the two thought of a lot of things, and their eyes looking at Gu Wudi gradually changed. They seemed to see an invincible immortal king about to rise up and look down on the world.
"You two, my master is inside, please come in." The two Taoist boys bowed at the same time, their attitude changed drastically, as if they were welcoming distinguished guests.
Qingyue was not surprised at all when she saw this. That was a sacrifice of one's own body. Even an Immortal King failed on this road, but Gu Wudi succeeded. This was a major event that was enough to shock the ancient history of the era, but it was not well known to people yet.
Gu Wudi was flattered. He pulled Qingyue and bowed in response, then walked into the residence of the lord of the restricted area, with two Taoist children leading the way.
Such a scene was hard to believe that there were actually two true immortals willing to bow their heads and treat him with respect.
All that can be said is that they knew what the long-cherished wish of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone was, which was his desire to cultivate a creature that was truly invincible in heaven and earth.
Following the path and passing through layers of vegetation, the four of them came to a wooden bridge.
It is green, extending from the distant low mountains and hills. It is lush and green, with tender buds growing on it, and is filled with a rich breath of life.
"This is the trunk of an ancient immortal tree. It became an immortal, but was killed. The trunk became the material of an arch bridge." Gu Wudi whispered.
Qingyue was surprised. This was too extravagant. They actually used the main body of an ancient immortal tree to build a bridge. Perhaps only a strong man at the level of Immortal King would have the strength and leisure to do so.
The two of them took a step forward and walked onto the wooden bridge. In an instant, countless scenes quickly moved backwards, which meant that they were moving forward at a very fast speed.
The next moment, they reached the end of the wooden bridge.
This is a rare flat land, surrounded by low mountains standing in groups. On top of the mountains stand ancient metal palaces of various colors, which are very magnificent. Just looking at them from afar can make one feel as if one's mind is breaking.
Gu Wudi and Qingyue only took a quick glance and then looked away with lingering fear.
As for the flat land at the end of the wooden bridge, there are several simple thatched houses built there. There is something extraordinary hidden in the simplicity, and there is an extraordinary Taoist rhyme flowing through it.
The place was foggy and it was difficult to see clearly, but one could vaguely see a white figure sitting there, motionless, and no one knew what it was doing.
"Originally, after passing that road, you still need to step on this Universe Lake to see the master, but now, there is no need to do so. With your qualifications, the Universe Lake is useless. There is no need to waste time." The male Taoist child said.
Afterwards, he led everyone around the crystal clear and mysterious Universe Lake and approached the thatched huts.
As we got closer, the fog could no longer obscure our view, and the back of a man in white came into view.
He was dressed in pure white, with long black hair casually draped down and swaying in the wind.
At this moment, the man in white was sitting on a tree stump with his back to everyone. There was a coffee table in front of him. There was another tree stump opposite him, which was empty, but there was a cup of tea on the coffee table.
Is this the master of the restricted area? Drinking in front of an empty seat, the mood is sad, as if he is reminiscing about something.
The two Taoist boys stopped several feet away from the coffee table and waited there respectfully, not daring to disturb their master.
Gu Wudi and Qingyue naturally would not do anything stupid, so they stood quietly in the distance waiting.
After a long time, the man in white drank the tea in front of him, then picked up the teacup opposite him and poured it in one direction. The tea was very strange, it disappeared as soon as it left the range of the teacup, and turned into thousands of troops, with the roar and whistling of strong men, and finally, the sound of the sea tide, as if an endless ocean was breathing in and out.
After doing all this, he looked up to the sky and sighed, then turned around and faced the Taoist boy, Gu Wudi and Qingyue.
The moment he saw Gu Wudi, the expression of the man in white changed obviously. There was surprise and joy. He looked at Qingyue again with a strange light in his eyes.
"A fellow traveler? I haven't seen a creature like you for a long time." The man in white looked at Gu Wudi and said in admiration.
He was really handsome, with a gentle smile, so handsome that it was impossible to be more handsome. He could be called a peerless beauty. At the same time, his eyes were deep and bright, making people dare not look directly at him.
Upon hearing this, the two Taoist children secretly said, "As expected, with Gu Wudi's qualifications and path, he definitely has the potential to approach or reach the level of their master. In comparison, they are far behind and will stop here for the rest of their lives."
"You are also very good. You have the hope of reaching the king realm in the future."
The Lord of the Forbidden Zone gave different evaluations of the two creatures. It can be seen that there is a huge gap between Gu Wudi and Qingyue. One is regarded as a fellow traveler, while the other just has the hope of becoming an Immortal King.
"Sit down, boy, bring tea."
The man in white gave an order, then pointed next to the coffee table, and a tree stump appeared.
Gu Wudi and Qingyue did not hesitate and sat down directly opposite the owner of the restricted area.
"From ancient times to the present, this tea table has only had two seats. Today is an exception. You all have the right to sit down here and have a drink." The man in white whispered.
At this time, a Taoist boy came and brought two cups of tea and stood in front of the two of them.
It was indeed a bit dreamy that a real immortal served tea. However, the most surprising thing was that the tea he served was extraordinary. Not only was it fragrant, but it also produced amazing visions.
I saw a real phoenix in the teacup flapping its wings, swimming, and emitting a fragrance that made people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.
"Senior, is this fairy tea?" Qingyue asked curiously.
To her, today's experience was too bizarre. First, she broke into the restricted area regardless of the danger, then she went through a terrifying test and met the owner of the restricted area. Now she was given a cup of ancient immortal tea. It was really like a dream.
"No."
"Even if it's not immortal tea, I'm afraid it's not much different. Thank you for the tea, senior."
The man in white smiled when he heard this.
"How extraordinary is the immortal tea? This tea is far from comparable. It is just an ordinary bitter tea tree. If you water it every year, it can produce a few leaves of tea."
As soon as the words fell, the noise in the two people's teacups slowly died down. The real phoenix had disappeared, leaving only the bright red tea leaves sinking to the bottom of the cup, which was extremely beautiful.
Is it really just an ordinary cup of tea? But it is clearly fragrant and refreshing, as if it were brewed from the most precious medicine in the world.
Gu Wudi naturally knew what this cup of tea was, only Qingyue was still in the dark.
He picked up the teacup, put it in his mouth and tasted it lightly. In just a moment, Gu Wudi's expression changed, and his whole face became a little unnatural.
It was so bitter that the tip of his tongue was numb and it was unbearable. He couldn't help but take a breath, and all the particles in his body were trembling violently as he digested the bitterness.
If it were an ordinary creature, it would probably be killed by the bitterness of this tea.
Before Gu Wudi could adjust himself, a horrible "astringency" attacked him again, and he almost fell to the ground.
If Gu Wudi had not been a seed and had a strong ability to control his body, he would probably have been embarrassed on the spot.
"how?"
The man in white asked.
Gu Wudi swallowed his saliva and said bluntly: "It's bitter and astringent."
Seeing his expression, Qingyue, who was standing beside him, felt a little uneasy. Didn't the tea look quite sacred just now? How could it be like this?
But she knew that now was not the time to hesitate, so she simply raised the teacup and took a small sip.
