Grandpa, times have changed.

Chapter 587 The Nine Essences True Chapter: Harvesting Star Essence to Form the Elixir

Meizu looked regretful.

"Oh, what a pity."

Ok?
"It's a pity that Jiu Yu wasn't in the first or second batch. I'm still really looking forward to seeing the world she guides..."

The trials of the third batch of ascended envoys are different from the previous two batches, and we won't have the chance to see them for a while.

"If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have strongly opposed her being allowed to participate in the Nascent Soul stage!"

With Jiu Yu's strength, even without being granted special consideration to participate in the Nascent Soul group, taking first place in the Enlightenment group would have been a piece of cake.

Bie Xuening was too lazy to pay attention to her.

What good is it if you object?

She is my apprentice, not yours.

Suddenly, Meizu turned to look at Bie Xuening and solemnly rebuked her:
"How could you be such a master? How could you let her suffer such unfair treatment!"

Xu Xing's eyes twitched upon hearing this.

Are you concerned that she is being treated 'unfairly'?
I don't even want to point it out!
Xu Xing shook his head slightly and stood up.

"Brother Dao, what is this all about...?"

“I met a junior before who got a good thing. Since I have nothing else to do, I might as well go and see him.”

We can't just watch him ruin it.

……

……

Meanwhile, at the outer sect of the Sword Sect.

The free trading area of ​​Dan Ding Ge.

Under Leng Rou's guidance, Gu Wangjun successfully bought a high-grade poison pill at a relatively low price.

Amidst the flow of people coming and going.

Gu Wangjun had already put away the poison pill and was now standing in front of a stall, flipping through an old thread-bound book.

The pages were mottled and yellowed, and even the text on them was mostly blurred.

He looked through it for a while but still couldn't figure it out, so he had no choice but to close it again.

There were four large characters on the cover of the thread-bound book, but only two of them were barely legible.

"Nine... chapters."

Gu Wangjun read those two words aloud, and then quietly asked himself in his heart.

'Does this thing actually work? Just repairing it must cost a fortune, right?'

"Just buy it when I tell you to, stop asking so many questions," Leng Rou scolded him. "If someone notices something's amiss, the price won't be this high."

Fine.

Although Leng Rou is quite sharp-tongued, Gu Wangjun still trusts her completely.

So he looked up at the burly stall owner behind the stall.

"How much is it?"

“Everything is 20,000 spirit coins each, sell it if you want…” He stopped mid-sentence, realizing something, and forced a smile, “No bargaining.”

Ok?
Something feels off.

I glanced at his muscular physique:
"The boss must be from the Dragon Elephant Sky-Supporting Sect, why are you selling things here at the Sword Sect?"

"Good eye." The stall owner was somewhat surprised. "Hey! I heard that there are often idiots trying to find bargains in the free trading area of ​​the Sword Sect's Pill Cauldron Pavilion, so I..."

He had just gotten to this point when he realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about those idiots who want to pick up bargains."

Because of his loud voice, even though he tried to lower his voice, many people around him still heard him and glared at him angrily.

Everyone who comes here to buy things is hoping to find a bargain...

wrong!

This is called making a big difference with a small investment, and having a discerning eye for talent!
What a crude, low-quality, brute!

It's clear that this body cultivator's progress in 'mental attacks' is still at a rudimentary stage, where they cannot 'control' their attacks at will.

Gu Wangjun was speechless, but noticing that many eyes were turning to him, he quickly paid the bill.

Having just received part of Leng Rou's 'inheritance,' he could still afford the 20,000 spirit coins.

"There really are fools who buy this. Looks like I'll have to come here more often..." the body cultivator muttered to himself.

Gu Wangjun: "..."

You better not be talking about me.

Without further ado, he turned and left.

He was originally quite curious about the Dragon Elephant Sky-Supporting Sect, one of the legendary seven immortal sects.

After all, the rumors on the Spirit Network are a mix of truth and falsehood, and cannot be entirely believed, but now...

He believed it.

Only after walking quite a distance, far from the area where the body cultivator was, did he ask Leng Rou in his mind.

'What's the point of this book? It doesn't seem particularly special to me. Do I have to perform a blood oath to bind it to me?'

In some legends he had heard, someone found an ancient, sealed artifact, bound it to him with blood, and rose to power, advancing by leaps and bounds, and then…

"You're dreaming again. Even raising your pillow isn't helping. I suggest you buy another pillow."

As usual, Leng Rou first made a sarcastic remark before beginning her explanation.

'The contents of this book are indeed damaged and of little value.'

'It's not worth much...'

Twenty thousand spirit coins!
"But the material of this book is excellent. I'll teach you how to disassemble and process it when you get back. With such high-quality talisman paper, you can use it even when you reach the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, or higher realms!"

Talisman paper?

Gu Wangjun paused, picked up a page from the book, and carefully examined it.

But they discovered that the pages themselves were made of a very flexible material, not like paper, but rather like cloth or... animal hide?
'Wow! A book made from such fine materials must contain something extraordinary.'

Unfortunately, judging from the material of this book and the spiritual ink used for the text, the cost of repairing it is completely beyond what this kid can afford.

Low-quality physical cultivators are just mindless brutes; they only sell such good stuff for 20,000 spirit coins.

Because she had been warned by the Sword Sect's patrolling artifact, and because Leng Rou already had a bad impression of body cultivators, she began to mentally slander them.

emm...

From a certain perspective, it might not even be considered 'defamation'.

'Let's wander around a bit more, but if we don't find anything interesting, we'll leave.'

We've already gained enough; the worst thing you can do in this situation is to be greedy.

'Um. ’

Gu Wangjun responded, glanced at the tattered booklet in his hand, and prepared to put it away.

However, take that first step!
Suddenly, everything went blurry.

Looking up, I realized that the scenery around me was constantly receding, with pure white gaps in between.

It was as if a sudden white space had been inlaid into this world.

Soon, in the instant the thought arose in his mind, everything around him turned into a vast expanse of white, stretching as far as the eye could see.

This bizarre scene left Gu Wangjun frozen in place, too afraid to make a move.

However, because he had Leng Rou, who was at the peak of the Void Returning stage, as his backer, he was not too flustered and quickly regained his composure.

What happened?

He asked himself silently.

"I...don't know either."

The sound rang in my ears with perfect clarity.

Gu Wangjun was startled and turned his head sharply!
Only then did they realize that Leng Rou, who should have been resting inside the ring, had somehow emerged, her beautiful yet spirited face filled with astonishment.

She hadn't figured out what was going on.

This is the Sword Sect!

Who has the audacity to dare to do this in the Sword Sect...?

"The Nine-Ingredient True Chapter, it would be a waste to use it to make talismans." A clear voice suddenly rang out.

Gu Wangjun felt a lightness in his hand, and saw the withered yellow thread-bound book slowly float up to eye level, turning page by page.

The originally blurry handwriting gradually became clearer during this process.

When the last page was turned and the book was closed again, the mottled cover was gone, and the four large characters 'Nine Li True Chapters' shone brightly.

A figure appeared silently and reached out to take it.

"Senior...?" Gu Wangjun was somewhat incredulous.

The person standing before him was someone he knew all too well.

The reason he was able to make up for his losses and receive Leng Rou's help was all because he met the woman in front of him that night.

"We meet again," Xu Xing said with a smile.

He then handed back the "Nine Flavors True Chapter" that he had already repaired to Gu Wangjun.

"You've gathered the essence of the sun, moon, and stars to create music, and captured the essence of rainbows to make wine. This book was written a bit early, but it's enough for you."

To be fair, this younger generation has had pretty good luck.

"This junior will certainly study it more diligently and practice it with all my heart..."

"It's not that bad." Xu Xing waved his hand. "We can study it when we have time, and if we're not interested, we can just sell it."

Sword Ancestor!

It was actually the Sword Ancestor!
Leng Rou, who was standing to the side, finally came to her senses from the shock.

Could this kid really have the luck of a protagonist? Otherwise, how could he have seen the Sword Ancestor twice in such a short period of time, a figure that ordinary people rarely get to see in their entire lives?

Her mind was in turmoil, but when Xu Xing's gaze swept over her, she felt a chill.

"This junior, Leng Rou, greets the Sword Ancestor, the Grandmaster...!"

I was so nervous that my voice was stammering.

"Don't be nervous." Xu Xing looked at her ethereal soul. "Given your condition, it will take quite a while for you to fully recover."

Leng Rou's heart stirred slightly.

Could it be that I'm also... today?

Upon hearing this, Gu Wangjun gripped the "Nine Blends True Chapter" even tighter.

"Although I took the initiative to reach out to you this time, it can be considered fate."

This young woman has a good character and conduct, so Xu Xing didn't hesitate to give her a small gift.

"Do you need me to help you restore your body shape?"

The Dao injury from failing to advance to the Dao Integration stage can only be managed by oneself, but restoring one's physical form and getting rid of the remnant soul state is still very simple.

"Or perhaps you can cultivate yourself and experience the process of physical recovery?"

Xu Xing opened his hand, revealing a teardrop-shaped blood jade in his palm, as red as blood.

……

……

Mission World 1.

On the edge of the Venus galaxy, a desolate planetary system.

Eight planets orbit the central star, continuously moving along their trajectories.

Zhou Kongming sat upright in the dark and deep space of space, staring expressionlessly at the star in front of him that emitted endless light and heat.

A scorching and terrifying solar storm swept in, yet it couldn't even stir a strand of his hair.

I don't know how much time passed like this.

The surface of the star suddenly trembled.

Boom!

A ring of crimson gold trembled, emanating from the star at its core, and swept outwards at an unimaginable speed.

It seemed that the surrounding planets were about to be destroyed.

Buzz~!

From the four poles of the entire planetary system, dazzling light shot into the sky, transforming into an incomparably vast array that covered the entire planetary system.

Layer upon layer of mysterious runes manifested, continuously weakening the spreading crimson-gold divine ring.

In the blink of an eye, countless runes were shattered and melted by the terrifying heat, and the spreading crimson-gold divine ring was weakened to the extreme.

But even so!
The crimson golden halo swept across the surrounding planets, instantly scorching through the atmosphere, melting the soil and rocks, and forming a long river of lava that stretched across the entire planet.

Zhou Kongming paid no attention to the condition of these desolate planets, continuing to gaze at the star radiating endless light and heat before him.

His gaze pierced through the star's surface and looked inside.

At this moment, a figure radiating crimson-gold light and exuding a scorching yet heavy aura slowly emerged from within the star.

With each step you take, your vital energy will increase by one point!
By the time he had completely stepped out of the star, his Golden Core power had been fully unleashed, and his aura had reached its peak in that instant.

At the same time, the magical power interacted with his own aura, forming a golden elixir domain large enough to cover a satellite.

"Whoo~"

Exhale softly.

Despite the vacuum environment, his voice was clearly audible.

A straight golden beam of light burst forth with his breath, like a divine sword capable of cutting through everything, stretching for thousands of kilometers!
"The Great Sun Refines the Spirit, the Primordial Chaos Returns to One... My calculations were indeed correct."

As the crimson-gold light around him faded, a man with molten gold in his eyes, dressed in a white tracksuit, stood silently before the star.

Judging from his appearance, he is none other than Zhou Xian, the reborn 'Child of the Former World'!
Since his battle with the Deep Sea Whale King, in which he successfully obtained the king's resources to build his foundation, he has been cultivating continuously for more than ten years and has finally reached the Perfect Foundation Establishment Realm.

After realizing that he could not make any further progress, Zhou Xian began to plan his advancement to the Golden Core stage.

Using his 'past life memories,' he deduced a Core Formation method with greater potential, but also greater danger—

The Great Sun Refining Spirit and Forming Elixir Method!
The "Yin Yang Refining Spirit and Seizing Source Technique" allows one to absorb the essence of a star, using its light and heat to continuously refine their true energy.

Furthermore, by employing the "Yin-Yang Qi Harmony Technique," one can interact with the stars and adapt to their terrifying temperatures.

And in this process, one refines one's true essence, transforming it into magical power.

After a year of hard work, we finally succeeded!

Looking inward, one sees a blazing fire within one's spiritual sea, and a radiant golden elixir suspended there.

A scorching and heavy magical power flowed.

Feeling a foundation even more solid than in his previous life, he felt incredibly satisfied, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Immediately, he bowed to the empty void before him.

"Zhou Xian, thank you very much, senior."

The success of this "Great Sun Refining Spirit and Forming Elixir Method" is largely due to the guidance of our predecessors.

What kind of world destroyer is this!
The world's will must be out of its mind!
In the other direction where Zhou Xian was worshipping, Zhou Kongming remained expressionless, raised his hand and waved it back to Qixing.

He stared at the star in front of him for a while.

I don't know why, but I suddenly felt guilty...

"Ah~"

I should have taught them other supernatural abilities. Who knew that the humans in this world were all so bizarre?

They forcibly used a legitimate dual cultivation technique to cultivate with a star, absorbing its essence...

I am a member of the Sword Sect!

but……

"This kid's golden core is really impressive."

It is completely different from the mainstream "Nine Revolutions of Rejuvenation" in the Tai Xuan Realm, and is more inclined towards the "Supernatural Elixir Formation Method".

Furthermore, its strength is not bad, comparable to the Hunyuan Golden Pill at the fifth level of the Rejuvenation Pill.

With another long sigh, Zhou Kongming stood up.

It's almost time; it's time to make the final arrangements.

Zhou Xian's progress is decent, but not the fastest.

Although the current style of this world is a bit off, it's on the right track, so we still can't leave such a hidden danger behind.
