Primordial Qi

Chapter 158: Spirit Tree

Lin Yuanya held Lu Gao's hand and tried to persuade him. Lu Gao was filled with murderous aura. He had killed countless cultivators and his cultivation was achieved through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. A few juniors dared to humiliate him, which naturally made him angry.

"Old Lu, why do you want to compete with a few juniors? You and I have practiced Taoism for more than 3,000 years. How can we let a few juniors mess up our Taoism?"

"Ah, there are so many troubles. I'll leave those youngsters to you to discipline. When they enter the heavenly realm, send them to my military camp first and I'll discipline them properly."

Although Lu Gao was unhappy, he had been practicing for so many years after all, so he was not really angry. He took out a bottle of elixir, which seemed to be of a high grade.

"Give this to that female monk. It will be very useful in repairing her soul. She does have some strength. It is only a matter of time before she enters the realm of monarch in the future. She may even be able to enter the realm of prince."

"Indeed, her cultivation talent is strong enough. Perhaps she will be the first peak master of my Qingming Sect to achieve the monarch realm. Let's make a good relationship with her."

"But what's the situation with that kid that he has so many people protecting him?"

Lu Gao was a little puzzled that a young boy who had just started out could have so many geniuses standing in front of him. He saw many young disciples of Qingming Sect rioting.

"Alas, he is the nephew of that female cultivator. His aptitude for cultivation is average, but he must have had some opportunities in recent years. He actually entered the late stage of the Venerable Realm. It can be seen that his perseverance is amazing." Lin Yuanya said with emotion.

Lu Gao's expression changed, and he took out another bottle of pills, saying expressionlessly: "This is the Heavenly Beast Five Elements Pill. It can be regarded as an opportunity I gave to that kid. I did not know the situation well before."

Lin Yuanya was stunned. What was wrong with Lu Gao? How could he be willing to lose face?

"You want to help me solve that problem?" Lu Gao said.

Lin Yuanya agreed and then left in the opposite direction. Their base camp still needed someone to take charge, and Lin Yuanya, who was at the monarch level, was just the right person. He found Gu Chenyu with these things.

Gu Chenyu was stunned for a moment. What was going on? Did Lu Gao come to apologize with something? Gu Chenyu had a few big question marks flashing over his head. He hadn't tried to use the immortal transformation method to transform into a dragon to cause trouble for that guy yet.

The rank of this pill is not low, it should be level eight, but I don’t know what it’s called.

"It should be a soul-type elixir. Give it to Qingxue first."

Gu Chenyu's heart softened. Gu Qingxue had not woken up yet and had been leaning on him. The pill was placed in her mouth, but she could not swallow it. Gu Chenyu used his spiritual power to slowly refine the pill. The pill turned into a liquid like nectar and entered Gu Qingxue's body as she swallowed it.

Gu Qingxue was made to sit cross-legged, and Gu Chenyu injected his true energy into her back to help her refine the pill. The huge soul power made Gu Chenyu feel refreshed and accelerated the speed of refining.

Deep in the secret realm, Lu Gao was still exploring with others. He didn't know what was going on behind him, but he always felt eerie, as if he had been contaminated by something.

"What's going on? This secret realm isn't cold, so why does it make me feel worried and vaguely uneasy?"

He saw a soul medicine and pulled it up by the roots and took it away without even giving it a chance to transform. The place they came to was close to the dangerous area of Qingming Tianxia. There were many unknown medicinal herbs and inexplicable palaces. The opportunities were countless, and the dangers they faced were also multiplied.

The six king-level cultivators could not bring enough sense of security, and Lu Gao couldn't help feeling uneasy. This feeling only came when he faced the emperor-level cultivators.

"There's something in front, it looks like a door?" Guo Yuan asked in confusion. His spiritual sense was powerful and he had discovered a lot of things.

"The door? There looks like blood on it. What's that next to it? It's covered with red flowers."

"I also found out that the connection behind it might be to a different plane."

The monks in the king and prince realm looked at each other in bewilderment. They did not dare to touch things of this level. Who knew what kind of weird things might be inside.

When Lu Gao sensed that thing, he felt relieved. Perhaps it was not something that was causing trouble.

"It looks like we're going to return empty-handed this time, alas."

Lu Gao sighed. It was still a long way from the time when the Qingming Secret Realm would be closed. They had taken away a lot of good things, but when he saw that door, he became a little uneasy because they had also entered through a similar door.

"This place is extremely weird. It seems that we are not the only ones who can come here. And it seems that the things behind the door should be quite terrifying. We should leave as soon as possible." Guo Yuan also backed down. The door was covered with runes and inscriptions, which looked very ancient.

"There's something wrong with these flowers, too. They're like flowers from the netherworld, exuding the scent of death."

"Well, let's retreat first!"

Just after the few people left, the strange red flowers began to flutter in the wind. A woman in red showed an evil smile on her face, but she did not follow them out. She just came out to stretch her muscles. She muttered to herself, her eyes full of anticipation, and her laughter was as strange as a ghost.

"The big world is coming, hahaha, I'm really looking forward to it."

The figure of the woman in red gradually dissipated. This was a divine soul from ancient times. Her soul body was extremely well preserved. Unlike those ancient residual souls, she was much, much stronger...

"Qingming Sword?" The woman in red suddenly appeared again, with a hint of doubt in her eyes. Maybe it was just an illusion.

After leaving here, Lu Gao and others went to other places to look for opportunities. They moved away everything that could be moved, and their space rings were full one after another.

A somewhat wretched figure followed behind, hiding in the void, and the princely cultivators could not detect its existence at all. It licked its lips greedily, and its sharp fangs gradually revealed...

After a few days, Gu Chenyu's forehead was covered with sweat. His true energy was completely consumed, and there was little spiritual power left in his body. The golden elixir in his body was a little dim.

"Phew, I'm so tired, but I should be waking up soon."

"I have been helping her refine the elixir day and night. My soul power has increased a lot, but I am a little tired now."

Fang Yixian stretched lazily. She felt very comfortable staying on the island in Gu Chenyu's sea of consciousness. The tree of spirit was thriving and had grown into a tiny sapling with many leaves hanging on it, emitting an alluring fragrance.

The tender buds on it were swaying. Fang Yixian stared at them for many days. Finally, she chose to tear off a leaf and swallow it without saying a word, fearing that it would be gone if it was too late.

Gu Chenyu only felt a pain in his head, and suddenly his eyes turned white. After all, this was connected to his sea of consciousness and was also a part of his power. After being swallowed by Fang Yixian, he felt a sharp pain in his soul.

The pain soon disappeared. Gu Chenyu was a little confused as to what could have made him feel uncomfortable. He kept trying to figure out what was wrong with himself. He had a lot of things hidden on his body, and he would be in trouble if a riot broke out.

He still couldn't find the problem, and the tingling sensation came in waves. He even wondered if he was cursed.

After searching for a long time, he entered the sea of consciousness with some hesitation. When he saw Fang Yixian smacking her lips in the sea of consciousness, Gu Chenyu's face turned dark. He snatched the leaf from Fang Yixian's hand and stuffed it directly into his mouth without caring that the leaf had been bitten twice by her.

"Fairy Fang, you're going too far."

Gu Chenyu naturally knew that this was a tonic for replenishing the soul, but Fang Yixian took advantage of him not noticing and plucked all the leaves from it.

"Stop eating it, spit it out."

Gu Chenyu saw Fang Yixian quickly stuff a leaf into her mouth, and he hurried to stop her, but he was a step too late. The last leaf was also eaten by her, leaving only a bare sapling in his sea of consciousness.

“Just eat it!”

Fang Yixian smacked her lips, and seeing Gu Chenyu's frustrated look, she sticks out her tongue mischievously, not caring at all about what Gu Chenyu thinks.
