Battle Through the Heavens: He marries Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate the marriage!

Chapter 99 Soul Forging, Mid-stage Spirit Realm!

"Will anyone be filial to me?"

Zi Yan's forehead was covered in question marks.

"You'll see when you get there!"

Gu Fei didn't explain much. After putting away the Earth Core Soul Essence, he took Zi Yan and headed towards the huge mountain range in the distance.

When combined with other medicinal herbs, the effects of Earth Core Essence will be even better.

Gu Fei was still missing a few medicinal herbs to prepare the Earth Core Soul Essence, and those herbs could be found in the treasure vault of the mountain overlord monster.

Before long, the outline of a massive mountain range appeared in front of them.

The Wanyao Mountain Range resembles a giant dragon winding and coiling, with thick fog permeating the air above it. This fog is not natural fog, but rather formed by the condensation of rich energy.

Deep within these mountains, the continuous roars of beasts echoed, filled with a violent aura.

With Gu Fei's speed, even if those magical beasts discovered them, they wouldn't be able to catch up at all.

And so they continued northward.

Finally, we arrived at the summit of the highest and most majestic mountain in the Wanyao Mountains.

"Who dares to trespass on my Xiong Zhan's territory? I'd like to see who's so bold!"

Just as the two reached the mountaintop, a violent sound suddenly rang out from the sky.

Immediately, a burly figure stepped out from the distorted space and stood like an iron tower in front of Gu Fei and the other person.

As this imposing figure appeared, a vast, steady, and profound aura suddenly surged forth from his body.

This burly man is Xiong Zhan, the overlord of the Ten Thousand Medicines Mountain Range and an eighth-tier magical beast.

His true form is a dragon bear.

The Dragon Bear, a ferocious magical beast, is rarely seen nowadays because it is an ancient beast with some dragon blood in its veins, making it quite powerful.

"Hey big guy, what are you yelling about?"

Upon seeing this burly man, Zi Yan changed her usual demeanor. Previously, she had been afraid of some high-level seventh-tier magical beasts, but now, she seemed to have no fear of this eighth-tier magical beast.

As she spoke, a dazzling purple light flashed in Zi Yan's bright, watery eyes.

That purple light was different from usual; it looked like a dragon.

"This is... the true bloodline of the dragons!"

Upon seeing the dragon-shaped purple light, Xiong Zhan's robust and broad body trembled involuntarily.

A kind of pressure emanating from his bloodline made him almost feel his blood boiling.

"Little Miss, Xiong Zhan was rude just now!" The once dignified Xiong Zhan now had a fawning expression on his face, trying to please him.

At this moment, Zi Yan finally understood the meaning of Gu Fei's words earlier.

"Hey big guy, bring out all the good food you have here!"

Zi Yan got straight to the point.

At this moment, Zi Yan was very proud; this was one of her few shining moments.

"Little miss, I'll go catch two seventh-tier magical beasts for you right now to replenish your strength!"

Upon hearing this, Xiong Zhan nodded repeatedly.

"I don't want to eat meat, I want to eat elixirs!"

Zi Yan quickly stopped Xiong Zhan.

"Spiritual herbs, great! I have plenty here!" Xiong Zhan said with a smile, leading Gu Fei and Zi Yan to the huge stone hall on the mountaintop. At the entrance of the stone hall, two ferocious demonic beasts lay prostrate.

"Go play somewhere else."

Zi Yan led the way, casually waving her small hand. The two seemingly ferocious high-level magical beasts let out a low whimper, then tucked their tails between their legs and quickly retreated far away.

They felt a sense of oppression emanating from Zi Yan, which left them with no will to resist.

This performance made Zi Yan even more smug; she was finally able to show off in front of Gu Fei.

She glanced back at Gu Fei, blinked, as if to say, "See? I'm amazing! I scared them away with just one sentence!"

Gu Fei also gave her a thumbs up in agreement.

Next, the two followed Xiong Zhan briskly into the stone hall, passed through several corridors, and then arrived at the spacious square inside the hall.

As soon as Gu Fei stepped into the square, a strong, almost viscous, medicinal aroma rushed towards him. The square was piled high with medicinal herbs.

These things are extremely rare in the outside world.

However, here, they are placed here casually, just like cabbages.

"Wow, that's a lot!"

Seeing this, Zi Yan's mouth watered instantly; she wished she could jump into the square and take a few bites right away.

"Ziyan, don't rush. Wait until I find what I need, then you can make it!"

Gu Fei quickly pulled Zi Yan back.

It wouldn't be good if this little glutton ate all the medicinal herbs I needed.

"All right!"

Zi Yan suppressed the impulse; she was still counting on Gu Fei to help her refine pills later.

After all, these medicinal herbs don't taste very good when eaten raw.

"You don't mind if I take some medicinal herbs, do you?"

Gu Fei turned around, glanced at Xiong Zhan, and asked with a smile.

"No problem, young man, please feel free to make yourself at home!"

Xiong Zhan had already sensed Gu Fei's Dou Zun cultivation level, and seeing how well Zi Yan was managed by Gu Fei, Xiong Zhan was very polite to Gu Fei.

Thank you!

Gu Fei smiled and then entered the square to search for the medicinal materials he needed. What he needed most was a medicinal material called Gastrodia Jade Essence.

This thing is the key ingredient that Gu Fei uses to harmonize the Earth's core essence.

Although there were many medicinal herbs in the square, they were quite varied, but with Gu Fei's abilities, he was still able to quickly find a piece of Gastrodia elata jadeite.

"I've made my choice!"

Gu Fei waved to Zi Yan.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zi Yan rushed to the square, picked up a golden fruit, and started munching on it.

The hard, golden fruit was difficult to cut with ordinary swords, but Zi Yan easily bit it open with her teeth.

"You keep eating, I have something to take care of!"

Gu Fei asked Xiong Zhan for a stone chamber and began to try to harmonize the Earth Core Soul Essence.

Now that all the materials have been gathered, refining them is not a difficult task, especially for Gu Fei, who has been promoted to an eighth-grade alchemist.

In just one hour, three bottles of perfectly prepared Earth Core Soul Essence were placed in front of Gu Fei.

Gu Fei's efficiency was undoubtedly much higher than that of the lucky guy in the original work, and the Earth Core Soul Essence was basically not wasted.

"I wonder how much my soul power will be enhanced by drinking your beverages!"

Without hesitation, Gu Fei picked up one of the jade bottles and poured it into his mouth.

The moment the Earth Core Soul Essence entered his body, Gu Fei's head buzzed, and the soul power between his eyebrows suddenly expanded as if it had taken a catalyst. The rapid expansion caused a throbbing pain in Gu Fei's brow.

A powerful and terrifyingly strange energy is rapidly seeping into the soul.

At the same time, Gu Fei's soul strength seemed to have suddenly increased, as if he had consumed some kind of powerful tonic!
