Gu Sheng ignored her and walked to the alchemy furnace, where he sat down cross-legged.

With a slight thought, he channeled his true essence into his fingertips and gently touched the fire vent beneath the alchemy furnace.

A burst of intense heat erupted from the ground, engulfing the bottom of the crimson alchemy furnace!
The temperature of the alchemy furnace rose rapidly, emitting a low hum.

Ying quickly returned and presented Gu Sheng with the medicinal herbs he needed.

Gu Sheng didn't even look at them. With a wave of his sleeve, all the spiritual herbs seemed to be lifted up by an invisible hand and floated in front of him.

His fingers flew like butterflies flitting among flowers, channeling pure true essence into the alchemy furnace and controlling the temperature changes within.

At the same time, he focused on two things at once, using his left hand to form a hand seal, drawing upon the power of the earth's fire to temper the furnace body.

With his right hand, he plucked a withered grass from the air, his true essence transforming into an invisible blade, precisely cutting and removing impurities, leaving only the most essential part, which he then threw into the alchemy furnace!

laugh!
The essence of the withered and flourishing grass fell into the blazing alchemy furnace, instantly turning into a wisp of green smoke, exuding a rich aura of desolation and vitality.

Gu Sheng kept moving, producing the Transformation Fruit, the Ice Heart Lotus, and the Soul-Guiding Flower...

One by one, the spiritual herbs were swiftly processed in his hands, transformed into pure medicinal liquids or powders, which were then added into the alchemy furnace in a specific order and proportion.

The entire alchemy process proceeded smoothly and without the slightest delay.

Gu Sheng was focused, his eyes sharp as an eagle, precisely controlling the fusion and changes of each medicinal property.

Inside the furnace, the medicinal liquid churned, and various medicinal properties collided and merged with each other, producing subtle crackling sounds. The aroma of medicine in the air also became increasingly rich and complex.

While refining pills, he also spared a sliver of his attention to observe Gu Yuanyuan beside him.

Gu Yuanyuan sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, her face tense, and fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

She was clearly putting all her effort into memorizing that profound technique.

However, as time went on, Gu Sheng keenly noticed that Gu Yuanyuan's aura seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.

The true essence within her body, which was originally circulating according to the basic cultivation method, seemed to be drawn by some invisible force and began to flow on its own in an extremely slow, yet more mysterious, trajectory!
The rich spiritual energy around her was no longer being passively absorbed, but was actively and gradually converging into her body!
A barely perceptible vortex of spiritual energy even formed around her!

"The Primordial Spirit Body... truly extraordinary!"

Gu Sheng's eyes gleamed.

This "Primordial Qi Scripture" is a top-level cultivation method passed down from ancient times, and it has extremely high requirements for the physical condition of the cultivator.

Gu Yuanyuan had not yet formally begun cultivating the technique; she had only memorized its contents. Yet, the characteristics of her Primordial Spirit Body had already begun to resonate spontaneously with the technique, drawing upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!

Such talent is nothing short of monstrous!
He stopped being distracted, focused his mind, and devoted himself entirely to alchemy.

Inside the alchemy furnace, the medicinal liquid churned, and under the catalysis of high temperature and true essence, the various medicinal properties were undergoing their final transformation towards the ultimate formation of the pill.

Outside the Linlang Pavilion, on the streets of the underground city.

Tantai Xueli strode out of the Linglang Pavilion, the blush on her face not yet completely faded, and under the lamplight, it looked as if she had been stained with a light layer of rouge.

The crimson vines wrapped around her arm seemed to sense the fluctuation in their owner's emotions and twitched slightly.

"The dignified Master of Linlang Pavilion actually fled in panic because a little girl called you 'Master's Wife'? This is not like you."

From the shadows, a woman in a simple silver dress, dressed in elegant palace attire, slowly emerged, a half-smile playing on her lips.

Tantai Xueli stopped abruptly and turned around abruptly!
A cold light flashed in his clear eyes, and a vast, abyss-like, and condensed spiritual power, like an invisible giant hammer, slammed fiercely towards the woman in the silver dress with icy rage!
The air seemed to freeze! An invisible mental storm erupted instantly!

The smile on the woman in the silver dress froze instantly. The two guards behind her changed their expressions drastically and subconsciously tried to step forward, but were pushed back several steps by an invisible force!

The woman in the silver dress let out a muffled groan, her body swaying almost imperceptibly. Her eyes showed surprise, which quickly turned serious.

A faint, soft halo emanated from her, subtly dissolving the violent mental impact.

"Xue Li, it's been many years, and your spiritual power... has become even more domineering."

The woman in the silver dress still spoke with authority, but with less of a playful tone and more of a serious one.

Tantai Xueli looked at her coldly, her voice as icy as ice.

"Tantai Bingtang, my affairs are none of your business. If you dare to speak nonsense again, don't blame me for disregarding our last remaining blood ties!"

"Blood ties?"

Tantai Bingtang, a woman from the Tantai family of Zhongzhou, smiled with a complex expression.

"How much affection is left between us? If it weren't for that thing, I wouldn't have set foot in this Eastern Wilderness."

She paused, her eyes sharpening.

"However, since you've brought up bloodlines... then let me get down to business. Venerable Styx, whose real name is Zhao Wuming."

Seventeen hundred years ago, he was sealed deep within the "Burial Abyss of Gods" in the far north of the Eastern Wilderness by the head of the Great Wilderness Holy Academy and several powerful figures from various holy lands using the "Zhou Tian Star Array"! Are you aware of this?

Tantai Xueli's eyes narrowed slightly, but she did not answer.

Tantai Bingtang continued.

"Before this person was sealed, he had already made far-reaching plans! He not only planted Xiao Beixuan as a pawn in the Boundless Sect, but also planted spies within the Holy Academy and even in the other major sects!"
These spies are like malignant tumors, deeply hidden and ready to erupt at any moment! That's why the family sent you and me, sisters, to the Eastern Wilderness!

She looked directly at Tantai Xueli.

"Our trip is ostensibly for training, but in reality... it's to clean house! At the same time, it's also to find a 'key' that may determine the future rise and fall of the Tantai family! And this 'key' is very likely related to Venerable Styx's plan to break the seal!"

"key?"

Tantai Xueli frowned slightly.

"good."

Tantai Bingtang's voice was low and deep. "According to the family's secret records, the Styx Old Ghost once harmed a Holy Maiden of a Holy Land and had a daughter with her! This daughter possesses a special bloodline and is very likely... the key to unlocking some ancient secret treasure!"

"If we can find this woman, perhaps we can uncover the true schemes of the Old Ghost of the Styx, and perhaps even... find a way to completely annihilate him!"

She looked at Tantai Xueli, her tone solemn.

"Xue Li, the Linlang Pavilion's intelligence network covers the entire Eastern Wilderness, making it extremely convenient for finding people. I hope... you can utilize the power of the Linlang Pavilion to secretly investigate this woman's whereabouts! This is a matter of great importance concerning the safety of the Eastern Wilderness and even the entire Tantai family!"

Tantai Xueli remained silent for a moment, a glint of light flashing in her cool eyes.

She spoke slowly.

"I can help you find that person. But... what are the conditions? You should know that I never do anything that doesn't benefit me."

Tantai Bingtang seemed to have expected this, and smiled slightly.

"The condition? Naturally, it's the unfinished deal between us sisters. You help me find that person, and I... will tell you the whereabouts of that item. How about it?"

Tantai Xueli's eyes instantly turned sharp as knives as she stared intently at Tantai Bingtang! The air between the two seemed to freeze once more!
The alchemy room on the underground floor of the Linglang Pavilion.

The crimson alchemy furnace hummed and vibrated, and nine dazzling golden alchemical patterns flowed endlessly through the gaps in the furnace lid, emitting an extremely rich medicinal fragrance!

The fragrance of the medicine contained a strange power that seemed capable of transforming all things!
Nine-Patterned Dispersing Power Pill! Successful!
A glint flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes, and he flicked his finger! The furnace lid opened with a click!

A pill the size of a longan, perfectly round, and adorned with nine golden lines, slowly rose from the furnace and hovered in mid-air!
"Yuanyuan!"

Gu Sheng gave a low shout.

Gu Yuanyuan, who had been waiting nearby, suddenly opened her eyes!

With a resolute look in her eyes, she reached out without hesitation, grabbed the Nine-Patterned Dispersing Power Pill, tilted her head back, and swallowed it!
The pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth! An indescribable, excruciating pain swept through her entire body in an instant!
She felt the originally gentle flow of true energy within her body instantly boil and go berserk!
It felt as if countless steel needles were piercing his meridians, and his dantian was being violently stirred up by an invisible hand!
"Ugh—!"

Gu Yuanyuan let out a painful groan, her face turning deathly pale, cold sweat pouring out and soaking her clothes instantly!

Her petite body trembled violently, and she could barely sit up!
"Reverse Technique! Disperse!"

Gu Sheng's voice exploded in her mind like thunder!
Gu Yuanyuan bit her lip hard, enduring the soul-tearing pain, and forcibly reversed the basic cultivation technique in her body according to Gu Sheng's previous instructions!

The already raging true energy within her body completely spiraled out of control the moment the cultivation technique reversed! It surged and dissipated wildly out of her meridians!

"Concentrate! Guide!"

Gu Sheng shouted, his powerful mental energy like the most precise probe, instantly invading Gu Yuanyuan's body!
His spiritual power transformed into countless invisible threads, precisely guiding the violently dissipating true essence, avoiding the vulnerable meridians and acupoints, and gushing out from the pores of her body along specific paths!

Chi Chi Chi!
A dense mist of true essence erupted from Gu Yuanyuan's body!
Her aura plummeted rapidly! Peak of the Sect Realm... Late Stage of the Sect Realm... Mid Stage of the Sect Realm... Early Stage of the Sect Realm... Peak of the Heavenly Martial Realm... Late Stage of the Heavenly Martial Realm...

In just a few dozen breaths, her years of hard-earned cultivation melted away like ice and snow under the sun!
Ultimately, it all vanishes into nothingness!

She collapsed to the ground, soaked to the bone, her face as pale as paper, her breath as weak as a candle flickering in the wind, and she didn't even have the strength to lift a finger.

But her eyes were unusually bright, filled with the relief of surviving a disaster and a firm belief in the future!
"Now! Activate the Primordial Qi Scripture!"

Gu Sheng's voice rang out again, carrying an undeniable power!
Gu Yuanyuan mustered her last bit of strength and closed her eyes.

In his sea of ​​consciousness, the profound text of the Primordial Qi Scripture instantly appeared clearly!
She cleared her mind of all distractions and focused all her energy on this brand-new, incredibly profound ancient technique!

The moment she activated her technique, a sudden change occurred!
The dense spiritual energy within the alchemy room seemed to be summoned by some supreme authority, and it frantically converged towards Gu Yuanyuan!

A massive, visible vortex of spiritual energy instantly formed around her!

At the center of the vortex, Gu Yuanyuan's pure body, which had just dissipated all its cultivation, was like a bottomless pit, greedily devouring a massive amount of spiritual energy!
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with a sharp light! Primordial Spirit Body! Truly domineering! He had just dispersed his power, yet he could still unleash such a terrifying tide of spiritual energy!

He dared not be negligent. With a thought, a bead the size of a pigeon egg, ice blue in color, and radiating a bone-chilling cold appeared in his palm—it was the Ice Soul Bead!

"Open your mouth!"

Gu Sheng snorted softly.

Gu Yuanyuan subconsciously opened her small mouth.

With a flick of his finger, Gu Sheng sent the Ice Soul Pearl into Gu Yuanyuan's mouth as a beam of blue light.

The Ice Soul Pearl melts instantly upon entering the mouth, transforming into a vast and pure torrent of energy imbued with an extreme chill!
This torrent did not freeze her meridians. Instead, it flowed through her limbs and bones like the gentlest spring, nourishing her meridians that had become fragile due to the dissipation of her internal energy and soothing the tearing pain!
A refreshing sensation rushed into her mind, instantly invigorating her spirit, which was exhausted from the intense pain!
Nourished and guided by the energy of the Ice Soul Pearl, Gu Yuanyuan's speed in circulating the Primordial Qi Scripture suddenly increased!

The massive vortex of spiritual energy, as if finding an outlet, surged even more wildly into her body!
Her originally pale face regained its rosy color at a visible speed, and her faint breath began to rise rapidly!
Gu Sheng stood to the side, his eyes sharp, closely watching every change within Gu Yuanyuan's body.

He could clearly "see" that after the massive amount of spiritual energy surged into Gu Yuanyuan's body, it did not circulate with difficulty in her meridians like ordinary martial artists.

Instead, it was instantly absorbed and assimilated by her primordial spirit body, transforming into a purer, more refined true essence, carrying the ancient aura of the beginning of chaos!

This true essence flowed through her body, slowly and steadily transforming her physique, widening her meridians, and strengthening her foundation!

"The Primordial Spirit Body... truly lives up to its name!"

Gu Sheng secretly praised her. At this rate, Gu Yuanyuan's speed of rebuilding her skills would probably far exceed ordinary people's imagination!

Inside the alchemy room of the Linglang Pavilion, the vortex of spiritual energy slowly subsided.

Gu Yuanyuan sat cross-legged, her aura already stabilized at the peak of the Spirit Martial Realm!
The true essence flowing within her body was no longer the previous impure state, but had become pure and refined, carrying an ancient aura. It was the unique primordial true essence of the Primordial Qi Scripture!

Her skin was as smooth as jade, her eyes were clear and bright, and she seemed to have been reborn, exuding a restrained yet powerful spiritual charm.

Gu Sheng looked at her with satisfaction in his eyes.

With a flick of his wrist, a crystal the size of a pigeon egg, crystal clear and radiating a warm glow and a rich life force appeared in his palm—it was the Crystal Heart that Elder Baiyu had given him earlier!
"Open your mouth."

Gu Sheng's voice was calm.

Gu Yuanyuan opened her small mouth as instructed.

With a flick of his finger, Gu Sheng sent the glass heart into Gu Yuanyuan's mouth as a stream of light.
The glass heart melts upon entering the mouth, instantly transforming into a vast and boundless pure energy containing endless vitality!
This energy, like warm spring water, instantly flowed throughout Gu Yuanyuan's entire body, nourishing every inch of her flesh, bones, and meridians!
Her aura, which had been slightly weak due to the dissipation of her cultivation and the need to rebuild her strength, instantly became solid and substantial!
Their physique was further strengthened and purified, as if they had undergone a profound baptism! (End of Chapter)
