Primordial Qi

Chapter 121: Using Martial Arts to Help

The arrival of people from the palace meant that the secret realm would be opened soon. The atmosphere in the Qingming Sect was peaceful, and many disciples were competing to add to the fun. Xiao Tian was even a humanoid succubus, and not only did he attract the attention of some girls in the palace, he also got to know a bunch of disciples of the palace.

Lin Xiu was illiterate, but he was an excellent drinker. He got many of the palace's disciples drunk and made them swear brotherhood with him in a daze.

If Gu Chenyu was here, he would probably be amused by the mysterious actions of these two. Some time ago, he was afraid that these people would target the disciples of Qingming Sect and bully the weak. He didn't expect that they were so reasonable and treated the disciples of Qingming Sect as their own family.

The alliance did not break up, but many chosen ones joined in, and the team grew to hundreds of people. However, Gu Chenyu obviously didn't know about it yet. He was frantically refining pills in the stone chamber, and he was making third-grade pills one furnace after another.

"Fourth-grade elixirs: Tianling Pill, Disha Pill, Bichen Pill, and Jiedu Pill."

Gu Chenyu felt a headache when looking at the complicated prescription. These pills were relatively easy to refine, but they still made people feel somewhat difficult.

This Tianling Pill is not bad, it is a pill that restores spiritual power. Gu Chenyu has refined this type of pill many times, so he is familiar with it. Disha Pill is a pill that makes people violent and doubles their strength. It is a bit troublesome to refine. The Bichen Pill is an auxiliary pill for cultivators in the Juling Realm to break through to the Grandmaster level. It also has the effect of cleansing the meridians and marrow.

However, this detoxification pill is somewhat difficult to refine. One needs to understand miasma, common poisons, and drugs. There is a pill that can break all poisons.

Before, when we were on the outskirts, there were some places with miasma and poisonous gas everywhere. There was also a small poisonous snake whose cultivation had reached the Gathering Spirit Realm. If it bit a snake, even a master would die. It was even more dangerous in the depths, so what Gu Chenyu wanted to refine the most was the detoxification pill.

After refining a few Tianling Pills, Gu Chenyu didn't dare to try the medicine on himself. But he couldn't go out at the moment, so he set his eyes on Gu Qingxue's pet.

"Dabai, Dabai, where have you been?"

In Gu Qingxue's room, Gu Chenyu called the snow-white rabbit with a malicious look on his face. Hearing the voice, the rabbit stood up and saw Gu Chenyu bending over and looking for something. When the two looked at each other, the rabbit was so scared that it jumped onto the ceiling.

"Damn, a rabbit has reached the Gathering Spirit Realm."

Gu Chenyu was a little confused, but caught it in no time, "Dabai, I treat you well on weekdays, why are you running away?"

Twisting the spirit rabbit's neck, it kicked its legs wildly, leaving a small mark on Gu Chenyu's skin. Gu Chenyu felt helpless. Are the claws of the spirit realm creatures so sharp nowadays?

Dabai was not originally called this name. It was either Shuangjiang or Lingyue. As Gu Chenyu called it Dabai every day, its name inexplicably became this.

"Come here, Dabai, look at what good things your big brother has brought you."

Gu Chenyu took out the Tianling Pill and waved it in front of Dabai. Smelling the fragrance of the pill, Dabai stopped jumping around. Gu Chenyu fed it the Tianling Pill and felt the crazy growth of the spiritual power in its body. Its body even became fatter.

"It won't explode, will it?"

Gu Chenyu felt a little panicked. Without him, Dabai would definitely be torn into two halves by Gu Qingxue, so he adjusted its spiritual power so that it could absorb the huge spiritual power in the pill.

"How can a fourth-grade elixir have such a great effect on the Gathering Spirit Realm? Or is it because it is not big enough, so the elixir it needs to take is much smaller than that of humans?"

Dabai's spiritual power was stable, and it seemed that he was practicing. Gu Chenyu also returned to the stone chamber to continue refining pills. The fourth-level pills were quite effective for grandmaster warriors. Gu Chenyu took one pill and could feel the huge spiritual power running around in his body. A large amount of spiritual power was retained in the meridians and was not absorbed.

"The effect is good. I have to find a pet to test the medicine on next time, otherwise the rabbit with low intelligence will always get the benefit."

The flames kept heating up the furnace, and Gu Chenyu soon refined another Tianling Pill. To be prepared, Gu Chenyu spent three days and three nights refining and only managed to refine six pills. He then began to refine the Disha Pill, but unfortunately he had not succeeded in the past two days.

"No wonder a beginner fourth-grade alchemist is required to be able to refine at least three different kinds of pills. I should only be a peak third-grade alchemist at the moment." Gu Chenyu muttered to himself, immersing himself in alchemy again.

The Qingming Secret Realm will be opened soon, and the alchemists in the sect are also speeding up their alchemy. This is a good way to make money, especially the people in the palace. They don't even have high-level elixirs prepared, but come directly to the Qingming Sect to purchase them.

The lights on the Medicine Refining Peak were bright, that was the flames of the alchemy furnaces burning. At the moment, the masters of the Weapon Refining Peak might have nothing to do. Many magic weapons could be obtained in the secret realm, so the importance of weapon refiners was far less than that of medicine refiners...

This is also the reason why Gu Chenyu did not choose to refine weapons. Most of the magical weapons in the secret realm are very powerful, and getting one is much better than refining it by oneself.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that weapon refiners are useless. Many magical weapons are refined by them, and their power is not much inferior to the ancient magical weapons.

Gu Qingxue sometimes came in to watch Gu Chenyu refining the elixir. Her focused little expression made her chuckle. When Gu Chenyu heard that laughter, his spiritual energy would sometimes go astray and the furnace would explode accidentally.

In response to this, Gu Chenyu held back his smile and pretended to be discouraged and frustrated after failure. Gu Chenyu didn't care about this loss at all. He was already able to control the flame temperature stably, and it was not so easy for the furnace to explode. Making Gu Qingxue laugh was much more important than refining the pill.

"The secret realm is about to open. Three days later, you should come out early to get to know those young people." Gu Qingxue reminded.

Gu Chenyu nodded and took the last Tianling Pill he had refined. He left the stone room, but remembered that he had been under house arrest. Gu Qingxue told him that the house arrest had ended and the Qingming Secret Realm was open, so he should be more prepared.

On the main peak, many people were buying and selling goods. Gu Chenyu saw many rare elixirs and found many good things while walking and stopping.

"What a pity! The spirit stones all belong to Gu Qingxue. We can't spend them carelessly, otherwise we'll take them all."

Shaking his head with some regret, he still went to the main peak to find Xiao Tian.

"Brother Batian, I haven't seen you for a while. Where have you been?" Xiao Tian came up and greeted him warmly.

Gu Chenyu smiled bitterly: "Have you forgotten that I was grounded? Why didn't you come to Wanqiu Peak to find me?"

Xiao Tian was stunned. He had indeed forgotten about this matter. He said a little embarrassedly, "Brother Batian, this is my fault. Come, I will drink a glass as a punishment."

"You, Old Xiao, are an intellectual, having studied a few more years than me. How could I be so literary? Come, Brother Batian, let me introduce you to some brothers from the palace."

Lin Xiu appeared out of nowhere and walked inside with his arm around Gu Chenyu's shoulder. They had clearly met in a pavilion, so why were they going to a restaurant to drink again?

"The people in the palace are not as unruly as we thought. Instead, they are much more honest to others. In the future, you can have the opportunity to join the palace and follow the King of Zhennan to the South China Sea to kill monsters."

They soon came to a restaurant with the words "White Clouds Out of Xiu" written on it. Gu Chenyu looked at Lin Xiu suspiciously, only to see that the boy looked very proud. "How about it? My restaurant is much taller than the one at Wanqiu Peak, isn't it?"

The restaurant in front of them was indeed much more luxurious, with seventeen floors. The eighteenth floor was a pavilion and could not be counted as a first floor. Gu Chenyu was carried to the top floor by the two of them. There were many familiar faces along the way, even Shen Qiuyun and the others came.

"Let me introduce to you our Wanqiu Peak's senior brother. He is a great demon king. I'm afraid he has no rivals in the early stage of the Venerable Realm. He is also one of our Qingming Sect's most talented disciples."

Lin Xiu clapped his hands and shouted, causing many people to applaud and cheer. Gu Chenyu felt a little embarrassed. This guy actually boasted about himself, saying that he was invincible in the early stage of the Venerable Realm.

"Really? Then I have to get to know him." Many people were making a fuss below, and some even wanted to fight with Gu Chenyu.

"Just drinking is not interesting. In our palace, drinking requires dancing by beauties and fighting by warriors. Qingming Sect doesn't have singing and dancing, so let's use fighting to liven up the atmosphere."

"Brother Lin, I would like to compete with the person you mentioned. The arena is just downstairs. What do you think, brother?" shouted a tall disciple, whose cultivation was also at the early stage of the Venerable Realm.

"What do you think, Brother Batian?" Lin Xiu asked back.

Gu Chenyu nodded. He also wanted to see what a master was like.

"Okay, Brother Batian, use your martial arts to entertain us. We won't stop until we're drunk tonight!"

Lin Xiu shouted loudly, and a group of people below cheered. Gu Chenyu shook his head, thinking that these young people still liked to watch martial arts performances.
