"Plop!" With a sound, Gu Fei fell into the water. Gu Fei, whose body had deteriorated to the point where he looked like an old man with one foot in the grave, immediately swallowed a few mouthfuls of cold water from the ancient cauldron.
He only felt a strong medicinal smell rush to his head, making him want to vomit. He immediately stood up from the water, shocked and angry. He never thought that Yan 'er would throw him into the ancient bronze cauldron.
"Let me out!" Gu Fei shouted. His voice reverberated back and forth in the ancient bronze cauldron, making his ears buzz and a feeling of dizziness.
He was too weak now. He was afraid that even a child could beat him to the ground.
"Hehe! Didn't you say that if I can cure you, you can endure any pain? "Yan 'er's proud voice came from outside the ancient cauldron.
"What do you mean by this!" Gu Fei quickly calmed down. If she wanted to kill him, there was no need to go through so much trouble. She could just kill him directly. Although he didn't know why Yan 'er locked him in the ancient bronze cauldron, he thought that she didn't have any evil intentions.
"Well! It doesn't mean anything. You can soak in this Chaos Dan Cauldron for two or three days. Not everyone has such treatment, haha! "Yan 'er said.
"Soak for two or three days?" Gu Fei's face turned green.
"That's it. I'm leaving!" Yan 'er said. Then, Gu Fei heard Yan' er's footsteps getting farther away.
"Hey, hey! Don't go. What will I do if you leave? There's nothing to eat here. If I starve for two or three days, I'll die. " Gu Fei hurriedly shouted. In his current condition, he didn't have any Qi Gathering Pills with him. If he soaked in this Chaos Dan Cauldron for two or three days, he might really die.
"I won't die. If you're hungry, drink the spiritual liquid in the cauldron!" Yan 'er's voice came from afar.
Gu Fei couldn't help but panic. He shouted repeatedly, but it was quiet outside. There was no sound. Yan 'er seemed to have really left.
"This crazy girl!" Gu Fei couldn't help but curse in a low voice. He looked around and found that the interior of the ancient cauldron was dim. Only a few rays of light shone through the vent holes on the lid of the ancient cauldron.
The space inside the ancient cauldron was about one zhang in circumference. As Gu Fei stood in the waist-deep water, he realized that the water inside the cauldron was not as simple as ordinary water.
Through the light coming in through the vent on the lid of the ancient cauldron, Gu Fei discovered that it was a dark green liquid, in which a large number of plant roots or leaves were floating.
Amidst the strong medicinal smell, Gu Fei felt a very strong spiritual energy. Just now, when he was thrown into the ancient cauldron by Yan 'er, Gu Fei drank a few mouthfuls of the dark green liquid in a panic.
"Could this be the spiritual liquid?" At this time, Gu Fei felt that his body was gradually becoming hot. He didn't know if it was because he drank a few mouthfuls of the liquid in the cauldron.
The skin on his hands gradually became red, as if there was a hot current running around his body. It was the complete opposite of the ghostly aura that was sealed by the eighteen Soul Subduing Nails.
"Could it be … the spiritual herbs in the cauldron …" Gu Fei seemed to have thought of something. He then sat cross-legged in the ancient cauldron, only his head was exposed above the dark green liquid.
He tried to circulate his Xuan Qi, guiding the spiritual herbs in the cauldron to permeate into his body.
Gu Fei's Xuan Qi was different from ordinary cultivators. His strength came from his body. As long as there was spiritual energy in his body, he could circulate his Xuan Qi.
As time passed,
Gu Fei gradually entered a deep meditative state. The medicinal energy in the surrounding liquid began to seep into Gu Fei's body through the pores of Gu Fei's body.
The top of Gu Fei's head gradually emitted steam, and his face gradually turned red.
In one of the rooms in the Cauldron Immortal's Cave, Yan 'er was sitting on a purple jade chair. In her hand was the storage bag from Gu Fei's body.
To be more accurate, it was an unremarkable little black bag. The bag was a little old, but it wasn't sealed by spiritual energy. Even an ordinary person could open it.
"This guy actually didn't seal the magic treasure bag. He saved me a lot of effort. I want to see what's inside!" Yan 'er said as she opened the bag.
The moment the bag was opened, Yan 'er felt a wave of spiritual energy rush towards her. But she immediately frowned. This was because the spiritual energy was mixed with a fiendish aura.
This was the aura of Devil Qi. Yan 'er was very clear. The Cauldron Immortal's Cave was not far from the Abyss of Immortals and Demons. Moreover, she often went to the Abyss of Immortals and Demons to pick herbs.
The Abyss of Immortals and Demons was close to the Northern Wei Empire. Immortal spiritual energy was extremely chaotic and unstable, making it difficult for cultivators to absorb and use.
However, it was still immortal spiritual energy. Places where immortal spiritual energy gathered could often breed rare spiritual herbs and even heavenly treasures.
Yan 'er had walked on the ancient stone bridge before, and had seen the surging demonic energy on the other side.
"What's going on!" Yan 'er was a little surprised.
However, following that, Yan 'er's gaze stopped at a corner of the storage bag. She could no longer move her gaze away. Her face froze for a moment, and then gradually revealed an expression of surprise and joy.
"Unbelievable, such a thing actually exists in this world." Yan 'er's voice trembled. She seemed to be very excited. Then, she reached into Gu Fei's storage bag and carefully took out three stalks of grass.
They were not ordinary grass, but immortal grass that was surrounded by nine colored lights. The immortal grass did not seem to have any color, as if it was transparent. However, there were nine colored lights flowing on top of it.
"Longevity Grass, it really is the Longevity Grass. It's exactly as described in the ancient records. Nine colored lights. This is a phenomenon that only occurs when an immortal grass matures." Yan 'er muttered to herself.
The Dan Ding Sect was a sect that cultivated alchemy. There were countless records of all kinds of spiritual essence in the sect. Yan 'er was the last descendant of the Dan Ding Sect. Of course, she knew about the Nine Colored Longevity Grass.
"If a mortal consumes it, they will live for 200 years. Moreover, they will be immune to all kinds of diseases. If they consume it, they will be able to solidify their soul and extend their lifespan by 200 years." Yan 'er muttered to herself as she looked at the three stalks of nine colored grass in her hands.
The reason why she had her current cultivation base was completely due to the help of the medicinal pills. Of course, it was also related to her talent. However, there was a fatal flaw in the cultivation base that relied on medicinal pills. That was that the state of mind could not keep up with the cultivation base.
Although Yan 'er was at the peak of the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Transcending Mortality Realm, her state of mind was not proportional to her cultivation base. The power of the Ninth Heavenly Layer had to be controlled by the state of mind of the Ninth Heavenly Layer.
Yan 'er was very clear about her own situation. The reason why she did not dare to take that step was because she was afraid that she would follow in the footsteps of the seniors of the Dan Ding Sect. She was afraid that her Dao Core would shatter and her soul would dissipate.
For cultivators, breaking through from the Transcending Mortality Realm to the Ascending Void Realm was not a guaranteed success. There was no danger involved. In fact, the situation was the exact opposite.
The higher the cultivation base, the greater the risk one would have to face when breaking through to the next realm.
For cultivators at the peak of the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Transcending Mortality Realm, if their Dao Core was shattered but they could not condense their Nascent Soul, it meant that they had failed to break through.
There was only one outcome for those who failed to break through, and that was — — death!
The terrifying power that erupted from the shattering of the Dao Core could not condense a Nascent Soul. Once that power went out of control, it would destroy the cultivator's physical body and primordial spirit in an instant.
Those who were lucky might be able to return to the Heavenly Dao and be reincarnated as a human. Those who were unlucky would have their souls scattered and their life imprints completely erased.
The Longevity Grass had another effect, which was to condense the spirit and solidify the soul. It could eliminate the hidden dangers left behind by consuming spiritual pills to increase one's cultivation base. This was what Yan 'er urgently needed now.
With the Longevity Grass, she could try to take that step.
"I didn't expect that kid to have such a spiritual herb of heaven and earth. Where did he get it from?" Yan 'er was shocked and couldn't help but be astonished.
The Longevity Grass was a legendary item. For thousands of years, the cultivators of the Dan Ding Sect had walked through the endless mountains and rivers of the Teng Long Continent, but they had not even seen the shadow of the Longevity Grass.
One could imagine that it was not easy to obtain this kind of spiritual herb of heaven and earth.
"En! It seems like there is a need to find out where this kid came from. " Yan 'er thought to herself. However, the Longevity Grass was in her hands now. It was impossible for her to hand it over.
She was already thinking about how to take the Longevity Grass for herself.
"Kill Gu Fei? That doesn't seem possible. I have no enmity with him. How can I kill him for no reason? " Yan 'er shook her head. Actually, she had always been cultivating in the Dan Ding Cave and rarely went out. She had never killed anyone before.
Otherwise, Boss Dongfang, Beitang Yue, and the others who broke into the outer area of the Dan Ding Cave would have been torn into pieces by the countless ferocious beasts she controlled. How could they escape so easily?
Actually, with Yan 'er's cultivation base at the Ninth Heaven of the Transcending Mortality Realm, it was easy for her to kill Boss Dongfang and the others.
"Sigh! So annoying! How can I get the Longevity Grass from that kid legitimately? "Yan 'er stood up from the purple jade chair irritably.
"En? I got it. After I cure him, this Longevity Grass will be my reward. Haha! "Yan 'er laughed happily. She then carried the three Nine-Colored Longevity Grass and walked into the depths of the cave.
The depths of the cave was connected to the underground spiritual vein. It was the place with the densest spiritual energy in the entire Dan Ding Cave. The ancestors of the Dan Ding Sect had opened up a medicinal herb field there.
The real Heaven and Earth Spiritual Essence was planted in the medicinal herb field in the depths of the cave.
Yan 'er moved the three Nine-Color Longevity Grasses into the medicine field. Spots of spiritual light immediately gathered toward the Nine-Color Longevity Grasses. The nine-color glow that lingered around the Nine-Color Longevity Grasses became brighter.
"Eh! There's a Nine-Leaf Mysterious Ginseng. Alright! This is mine too! " Yan 'er took out the Nine-Leaf Mysterious Ginseng from Gu Fei's storage bag and planted it in the medicinal herb field.
"En, Mysterious Sky Vine, Zhuxian Fruit, Yin Yang Lotus … These are all mine!" Yan 'er murmured to herself. She kept taking out Heaven and Earth Spiritual Essence from Gu Fei's storage bag and planted them in the medicinal herb field.
