Gou's Liver Experience in the World of Demons and Demons

Upon hearing the words "Heart-Clearing Divine Pill," especially its effects, Fan Qingcheng's delicate body trembled violently. Her ethereal eyes instantly shone with an astonishing brightness. She took a step forward, her gaze fixed intently on the pill, her breathing becoming somewhat rapid.

She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the excitement in her heart, and looked at Gu Sheng, her tone filled with unprecedented solemnity and a hint of earnestness.

"Young Master Gu! This Mind-Clearing Divine Pill is of utmost importance to me... to my young lady! In her early years, she was ambushed by a powerful enemy and suffered severe injuries, causing her cultivation level to plummet from the peak of the Ninth Rank Venerable Realm to the Eighth Rank Realm, and she has not recovered since."

This pill is exactly what she needs right now! Qingcheng humbly begs Young Master Gu, could you transfer this pill to me? Name your price, Qingcheng will not haggle! Or, as long as it's within my power, you can ask for any condition!

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with understanding, but he did not immediately agree. Instead, he asked a question in return.

"The head of the Brahma Academy... suffered such severe injuries? And fell from his cultivation realm?"

Upon hearing Gu Sheng's question, Fan Qingcheng immediately formed a hand seal, and a gentle yet resilient spatial force spread out, instantly sealing off the space around the two of them and isolating them from all internal and external perception.

She then lowered her voice and explained with a serious expression.

"This matter concerns Miss's safety and is top secret. Please, Young Master Gu, keep it a secret. Miss suffered severe injuries during her ordeal years ago, damaging not only her foundation but also her Dao source. Ordinary pills simply cannot repair it. Only this Grade Three Cleansing Heart Divine Pill, which can purify the soul, stabilize the Dao source, and help one achieve enlightenment and breakthrough, offers a glimmer of hope to help her heal her Dao injuries and return to the peak of the Ninth Revolution! This pill is no less than a life-saving treasure for Miss!"

Her tone was filled with barely concealed anxiety and anticipation.

Looking at Fan Qingcheng, who was excited and pleading, Gu Sheng hesitated for a moment, then did not directly agree or refuse, but instead put forward his own conditions.

"It is not impossible for me to transfer this Mind-Clearing Elixir to you."

But I don't want spirit stones, nor any other treasures. My condition is—that the head of the Brahma Academy, in the future, when I need it, will do everything in his power to help me once.”

Fan Qingcheng was visibly taken aback upon hearing this.

She hadn't expected Gu Sheng to make such a request.

This may seem simple, but it carries immense weight. The full-force attack of the Great Wilderness Holy Academy's head, who is likely to return to the peak of the Ninth Revolution and even has the potential to reach the Saint Realm, is so valuable that it cannot be measured in spirit stones.

She looked at Gu Sheng with a complicated expression, her tone carrying an indescribable meaning.

“Young Master Gu… do you know that even if you give this pill to me for free right now, Miss and I will already owe you a huge favor. As for your asking price… well, whatever the price, Qingcheng thanks you on behalf of Miss, and we will remember this kindness and gratitude!”

Seeing that she agreed, Gu Sheng didn't hesitate. With a flick of his finger, the Grade 3 Heart-Clearing Divine Pill, which was bound by spiritual power and shimmering with spiritual light, floated lightly towards Fan Qingcheng.

"Catch it."

This Mind-Clearing Divine Pill is of good quality, with six patterns on its surface. Its medicinal properties are mild and mellow, with very few impurities. Given the foundation of the Brahma Academy's leader, there's a 60-70% chance that taking this pill will repair his Dao injuries and restore him to his peak cultivation level.

Gu Sheng spoke calmly, as if he were offering not a divine pill that would cause a frenzy among Venerable Realm experts, but merely an ordinary sugar pill.

"With Su Rui and the others guarding this place, there won't be any major trouble. After you get the pill, you don't need to follow us anymore. Immediately return to the Linlang Pavilion in Yunyue City and use the teleportation array there to get back to Dahuang City as quickly as possible. Hand the pill over to the head of the Brahma Academy. Delay will only lead to unforeseen circumstances."

Fan Qingcheng hurriedly took the divine pill that floated before her eyes, feeling the immense medicinal power and pure Daoist essence contained within. After confirming it was genuine, she carefully took out a jade bottle made of ten-thousand-year-old warm jade, sealed it away, and put it away. Hearing Gu Sheng's arrangement, she was taken aback again.

"Leave now? What about your safety...?"

"You don't need to worry about my safety. The important thing is to deliver the medicine as soon as possible."

Gu Sheng waved his hand, interrupting her.

Fan Qingcheng took a deep breath, suppressing her excitement and gratitude, and solemnly bowed deeply to Gu Sheng, her delicate body standing straight, her tone more sincere than ever before.

"Young Master's kindness will never be forgotten! On behalf of Miss, Qingcheng thanks Young Master for the generous gift of the pill! Once this matter is settled, Qingcheng will do everything in her power to ensure Miss fulfills her promise!"

She no longer addressed him as "Young Master Gu," but simply as "Young Master," the intimacy and gratitude of which were self-evident.

Gu Sheng smiled calmly and waved his hand.

"Go ahead, there's no need for such formalities between friends."

Fan Qingcheng said no more, and looked at Gu Sheng again, as if trying to etch this young man with extraordinary skills, decisive in killing, and with a broad mind into his mind. Then, his figure flickered and turned into a light silver stream of light, rushing out of the secret vault at the fastest speed and disappearing into the passage outside.

After seeing Fan Qingcheng off, Gu Sheng turned around and continued deeper into the secret vault.

He felt little emotion. The Grade Three Mind-Clearing Divine Pill was indeed precious; if it were auctioned, it would definitely fetch an astronomical price that would make even a Saint Realm expert take notice.

However, he was not short of spirit stones, at least not for now. In comparison, using this divine pill, which he could not use for the time being, to obtain a full-fledged attack from Fan Mingli, the future head of the Great Wilderness Holy Academy, as well as the friendship between her and the forces behind her, was undoubtedly an extremely worthwhile investment.

With a major upheaval imminent in the Eastern Wilderness and the arrival of two holy lands, he needs to make arrangements in advance and place his pieces in this high-level game. Fan Mingli is the first and crucial piece he has invested in.

'Has the Dao of Alchemy declined to this state?' Gu Sheng couldn't help but feel a sense of regret. 'A single Grade 3 Divine Pill with six patterns is enough to make a Venerable Realm expert willingly make a solemn promise.'

If even higher-quality seven-pattern, eight-pattern, or even the legendary nine-pattern perfect divine pill were to appear in the world, what a tremendous uproar it would cause! Even those reclusive old monsters would probably be restless.

He failed to see that behind him, in Fan Qingcheng's deep glance before leaving, there was not only gratitude, but also a profound sense of recognition and admiration.

She finally understood why the arrogant Tantai Bingtang and Tantai Xueli valued Gu Sheng, who seemed to come from an ordinary background, so much.

This young man is not only exceptionally talented and possesses extraordinary combat prowess, but what is even more remarkable is his vision, courage, and strategic thinking! To use a third-grade divine pill, which is worthy of being a sect's most prized possession, so casually as an investment in personal relationships—this kind of magnanimity is something that ordinary geniuses cannot possess.

Composing himself, Gu Sheng's gaze fell upon the remaining treasure shelves. The deeper one went, the more precious the items became.

He opened a metal box that radiated a cold starlight, inside which was half a box of silver sand that shimmered with tiny starlight, like miniature stars.

"Stardust?"

A hint of satisfaction appeared in Gu Sheng's eyes.

"This is one of the core materials for refining divine weapons at the Venerable Realm. Just a small amount can greatly enhance the weapon's toughness and spiritual conduction ability, and may even give birth to a weapon spirit."

Its value is even higher than that of a finished low-to-mid-level Venerable-grade divine weapon.

Without hesitation, he pocketed the box of stardust. This material was excellent, whether for his future reforging of the Southern Emperor Sword or for forging a battle blade for his elder brother, Gu Feng. Next, in a cold jade box covered with mysterious sealing runes, he discovered a piece of bone about a foot long, dark gold in color, warm and smooth like jade, yet radiating a chilling aura of hardness and immortality. Faint, natural Dao patterns flowed across the bone.

"No bones!"

Gu Sheng's expression hardened slightly.

"Judging from its aura and Dao patterns, its owner was at least a Saint Realm expert in life! After such an expert falls, their body remains incorrupt for ten thousand years, and the hardest bones, having withstood the test of time, may even become incorruptible bones. This object is not only an excellent material for crafting top-tier puppets and defensive divine weapons, but it may also contain a portion of its owner's inherited imprint or primordial power..."

He carefully put away the piece of unmelted bone; it was of immeasurable value and needed to be studied carefully.

Then, his gaze was drawn to a fiery jade box radiating intense heat. Upon opening the box, a strange spiritual herb, shaped like a phoenix spreading its wings, fiery red in color, with golden halos flowing along the edges of its leaves, lay quietly inside, instantly raising the surrounding temperature considerably.

"Immortal-Burning Grass!"

A hint of joy flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes.

"This item is a treasure for fire-attribute cultivators, as it can greatly enhance their affinity for and control over fire elemental energy."

For ordinary martial artists, if they can withstand its powerful medicinal effects, there is a very high chance of condensing high-quality pill fire, thus embarking on the path of an alchemist!

He carefully put away the Immortal-Burning Grass, already having made up his mind.

"Qing'er possesses a fire-attribute spiritual body and cultivates a technique passed down from the Vermilion Bird Immortal Emperor. If this herb can be refined, it will not only help her quickly condense her natal fire and embark on the path of alchemy, but it might also activate the Vermilion Bird bloodline hidden within her, causing her spiritual body to advance and greatly increase its potential."

Gu Sheng examined the treasures in the deepest part of the secret vault one by one. He knew most of the treasures by simply sensing them.

Some of these, such as certain top-tier King Pills that can improve cultivation and temper the body, or strange crystals containing fragments of special laws, are of direct help to him at this stage.

More often, resources like Stardust Sand, Undying Bone, and Immortal-Burning Grass are better suited for keeping as family and friends or as strategic reserves.

After storing the last treasure box that would be useful to him or someone close to him into his storage ring, Gu Sheng looked at the depths of the secret vault, which was now mostly empty, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The trip to Fallen Moon City was far more fruitful than expected.

The source of all this was that he had casually promised to take away a wisp of the Azure Dragon Venerable's remnant soul in the Eastern Emperor's Secret Realm, and ultimately handed it over to his elder brother, Gu Feng.

'I never imagined that a small act of kindness I casually made back then would yield such a tremendous reward today.' Gu Sheng mused to himself, 'The Azure Dragon Venerable is indeed a man of his word. Not only did he leave his most important inheritance, the Nine Forms of the Azure Dragon, to his elder brother, who had gained the approval of his remnant soul, but he also revealed this hidden treasure without reservation.'

Looking at the resources he had collected—enough to make any King Realm or even Venerable Realm expert green with envy—a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

'However, this kind-hearted Venerable One is probably not entirely without a backup plan. Collecting so many high-level materials, especially rare items like Stardust and Undying Bones, which are capable of serving as vessels for possession or reshaping the core of a physical body…'

If he hadn't been reduced to a mere wisp of soul, making even possession and rebirth impossible, these things would likely have been his backup plan for a comeback, a chance to turn the tables and exact revenge.

Life is unpredictable, and cause and effect are hard to fathom. Venerable Azure Dragon's preparations were undeniably thorough, but unfortunately, he was ultimately out of luck and ended up doing all the work for someone else.

Gu Sheng, on the other hand, became this lucky "other person".

On the way back to Meteor Moon City from the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, Fan Qingcheng seemed somewhat absent-minded.

She was eager to return home and only wanted to get Gu Sheng back to Linlang Pavilion safely as soon as possible, and then immediately turn back to Dahuang City via the teleportation array.

She kept that Grade 3 Mind-Clearing Pill close to her body, as if it weighed a thousand pounds.

Gu Sheng's words kept echoing in her mind—"There's a 60-70% chance of recovering to peak condition."

Miss Fan Mingli has fallen from her cultivation level due to an old injury and has been stuck at the eighth-level Venerable Realm for a long time. If she can use this pill to restore her peak strength at the ninth level, not only will her own Great Dao be able to continue, but she will also be able to take the initiative in the upcoming upheaval in the Eastern Wilderness, and even have the opportunity to seize a great opportunity and break through the Holy Realm barrier that has troubled the cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness for countless years!

After all, the Great Wilderness Holy Academy now has no true saintly beings to oversee it. Even the brilliant Azure Dragon Venerable of yesteryear ultimately failed to attain sainthood.

As soon as he left the area of ​​the Secret Valley and was out of sight of the Linlang Pavilion warriors, Fan Qingcheng could no longer restrain himself.

Before she could say anything more, she grabbed Gu Sheng's shoulder and said in a deep voice.

"Young Master Gu, please forgive me!"

Before she finished speaking, the pure and powerful Venerable Realm true energy within her body suddenly erupted, transforming into a dazzling silver rainbow that carried Gu Sheng and tore through the air at a speed several times greater than when they arrived, rushing towards the direction of Meteor Moon City like a shooting star chasing the moon!

The strong wind pressure caused Gu Sheng's robes to cling tightly to his body, but he remained calm and did not resist.

A moment later, the silver rainbow landed outside the gates of the Linlang Pavilion in Meteor Moon City. Fan Qingcheng released Gu Sheng and spoke rapidly.

"Young Master Gu, you have arrived safely. Qingcheng must return to Great Wilderness City immediately. Farewell!"

Before Gu Sheng could even respond, she transformed into a streak of light once more, rushing directly into the core teleportation array within the Linglang Pavilion that led directly to the Great Wilderness City. With a flash of light, she vanished without a trace.

Gu Sheng looked at the teleportation array whose light had dissipated, shook his head slightly, and then turned and walked towards his quiet room.

Inside the quiet room, Gu Yuanyuan was cultivating with her eyes closed. Sensing Gu Sheng's return, she immediately opened her eyes, stood up, and reported.

“Master, you’re back. While you were away, that Miss Tantai came by once.”

"Oh? What did she say?"

Gu Sheng asked casually.

Gu Yuanyuan recalled for a moment and then repeated it.

“She said that if Master finds anything in the secret treasure that is useful to her current situation, she is willing to pay the highest price to buy it and will never let Master suffer a loss.”

Gu Sheng nodded without saying anything more.

He walked to the tea table and sat down, lost in thought. Tantai Xuefei's situation was indeed unique; her physical body had collapsed, but her soul had been reborn in her new body through the secret technique of "Spiritual Embryo Reconstruction." (End of Chapter)
