One of the nine branches of the Taixuan Sect, the Spirit Bead Peak, was in charge of the Immortal Herb Garden. It was the branch of the Taixuan Sect that was proficient in the way of alchemy. The amount of effort and energy required to start a cauldron was unimaginable. Most cultivators were not willing to spend too much time and energy on alchemy.
This was because alchemy, in addition to expending a lot of effort and energy, it also required raw materials. Often, a cauldron of pills would require dozens or even hundreds of different kinds of spiritual herbs.
The reason why spiritual herbs were called spiritual herbs was because they were rare. After all, these spiritual herbs were not like carrots. After two or three months, they would grow into a large field.
The more precious a pill was, the rarer and more difficult it was to find the spiritual herbs needed. Often, when an alchemy master prepared to start a cauldron of pills, just collecting the spiritual herbs would take years, even decades, or even decades.
The golden pill that the Medicine Daoist poured out from the red gourd was the famous Golden Pill of Nine Revolutions in the world of cultivation. To refine a cauldron of Nine Transformations Golden Pills, just the preparation time alone would take up to ten years. The number of spiritual herbs needed to be collected was as many as hundreds of types, and some of the spiritual herbs could even be called the spiritual essence of the world.
Moreover, even if a cauldron of pills was successfully refined, it would be pitifully small. At most, there would be seven or eight pills. At the very least, there would only be one Golden Pill of Nine Revolutions.
The Golden Pill of Nine Revolutions could restore flesh and bones from the dead. No matter how serious the injury, as long as one was still breathing, they would not die after taking the Golden Pill of Nine Revolutions. For a cultivator, this was undoubtedly an extra life.
With Gu Fei's current injury, if he did not take the Golden Pill of Nine Revolutions, he would need to lie in bed for at least ten days to gradually recover.
However, the competition tomorrow would require Gu Fei's participation. Therefore, Daoist Xuantian asked the Medicine Daoist for a Golden Pill of Nine Revolutions.
"Senior, I still have things to do. I will leave first." After the Medicine Daoist put away the red gourd, he hurriedly bowed to Daoist Xuantian and turned into a ray of light, as if he was escaping.
"Ziyu, come with me." Daoist Xuantian put away the Golden Elixir of Nine Transformations and carried Gu Fei toward Taixuan Peak.
Zi Yu, who was on the ground, felt his body tighten. Then, he could not help but rise into the air, following behind Taoist Xuantian. They flew through the air towards the towering Taixuan Peak.
…
In a secret room at the back of the Supreme Profound Hall, there was a praying mat in the center. On the praying mat sat a naked youth, and opposite the youth sat an old Daoist.
There were two other white-clothed youths standing respectfully behind the old Taoist. One of them was handsome like jade and had an elegant demeanor. He was a beautiful youth, but his body seemed a little weak. The other youth's appearance was very ordinary, very ordinary, just like a farmer youth in the countryside.
A person's appearance often did not mean anything. Of these two youths, one was weak, the other ordinary, but their backgrounds were not small. They were the two most outstanding disciples of the sect leader's generation.
The graceful and beautiful young man was Zi Yu, whereas the young man with an unprepossessing appearance that seemed to have dark red skin from being exposed to the sun and rain in the countryside was the Eldest Senior Brother of the Sect Master's line, Li Lingfeng.
And the old Daoist priest in the secret room was the sect leader of Taixuan Sect, Daoist Xuantian. The youth who sat cross-legged in the middle of the secret room with his eyes closed, his expression pained and his body naked, was Gu Fei, who had been injured by the mysterious person.
On Gu Fei's back, there was a deep purple fist print that had sunk into Gu Fei's body. Blue veins spread out from the center of the fist print, protruding from the skin on Gu Fei's back. It was a shocking sight.
Gu Fei, who had bones of steel, had been heavily injured by the mysterious person's punch, even though he had used the magical power of refining his body to protect his back.
This was the difference in strength, the difference between the Awakening Realm and the Transcending Mortality Realm.
The mysterious person's cultivation was a whole realm higher than Gu Fei's. If it were not for the fact that Gu Fei cultivated in a body refining technique that was famous for its strength, and that his body was much stronger than that of an ordinary martial cultivator, if it were not for the fact that Gu Fei had used the magical power of refining his body to counteract most of the power of the mysterious person's punch, Gu Fei would have really died under that person's fist.
At this time, Gu Fei had already taken the Golden Elixir of Nine Revolutions. The medicinal power of the Golden Elixir of Nine Revolutions was extremely strong. Daoist Xuantian sat in front of Gu Fei, his hands constantly forming seals, injecting magical power into Gu Fei's body, controlling and stimulating the medicinal power of the Golden Elixir of Nine Revolutions, so that the effects of the Golden Elixir of Nine Revolutions could be fully exerted.
A huge amount of spiritual power surged through Gu Fei's body, and all his muscles, bones, and flesh were surging and trembling. Within his flesh and blood, not only was there a huge burst of spiritual power from the Golden Elixir of Nine Revolutions, but there was also a trace of fire. It burned through Gu Fei's meridians, evaporated his blood, and burned his life.
The medicinal power of the Golden Elixir of Nine Revolutions was healing Gu Fei's injured body, but the threads of fire were like maggots in his bones, burning Gu Fei's flesh, bones, and tendons.
The two extreme powers of regeneration and destruction were using Gu Fei's body as a battlefield. They collided with each other and canceled each other out. This made it hard for Gu Fei. Every inch of his skin felt like it was being pierced by thousands of small knives. It was like he was being tortured by a thousand cuts.
The Golden Elixir of Nine Revolutions went through nine revolutions. When the powerful spiritual power from the Golden Elixir of Nine Revolutions in Gu Fei's body reached seven revolutions, Gu Fei's body began to violently tremble. Then, strands of hair-thin flames seeped out of his pores.
"What a sinister method!" Daoist Xuantian formed a seal, carefully drawing out the spiritual power in Gu Fei's body. It was now a critical moment. The huge amount of spiritual power was gradually forcing out the flames in Gu Fei's body.
Daoist Xuantian never imagined that the person who had attacked Gu Fei had buried a fatal killing blow in Gu Fei's body. That mysterious person had actually injected the Daoist True Fire into Gu Fei's body, causing the Daoist True Fire to hide inside Gu Fei's body. At a certain time, it would explode from Gu Fei's body, burning him to ashes.
Li Lingfeng and Zi Yu, who were standing behind Daoist Xuantian, watched this scene in shock. To be able to survive a full-powered attack from a cultivator at the Transcending Mortality Stage, the shock that Gu Fei had brought them was a little hard to accept.
As far as they were concerned, it was as easy as flipping one's hand for a cultivator at the Transcending Mortality Stage to kill a cultivator at the Awakening Self Stage. The miracle that appeared on Gu Fei had shattered this fixed view of theirs.
Was the cultivation method of the Green Spirit Peak really so powerful? At this time, Li Lingfeng and Zi Yu vaguely understood why the sect master valued this sole remaining disciple of the Green Spirit Peak so much.
If such a heaven-defying disciple were to mature, what kind of scene would that be? This Gu Fei was still young, but his potential was limitless!
Just who would attack Gu Fei? In the short period of time that the mysterious person had exchanged blows with Gu Fei, he had already used such a sinister move. Clearly, he was determined to kill Gu Fei.
However, in front of a peerless expert at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Void Controlling Realm, this little trick naturally could not be hidden from their eyes. Daoist Xuantian did not directly use his great power to expel the Taoist True Fire hidden in Gu Fei's body. Instead, he sent streams of power into Gu Fei's body to stimulate the medicinal power of the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, using Gu Fei's own power to expel the True Fire in his body.
At the Eight Revolutions Golden Elixir, the Taoist True Fire in Gu Fei's body had been completely forced out. The terrifying heat scorched the ground around Gu Fei into scorched earth. The praying mat he was sitting on did not seem to be an ordinary item, for it could actually withstand the terrifying heat emitted by the Taoist True Fire without being burned to ashes.
Daoist Xuantian's great power formed streams of light outside of Gu Fei's body, completely binding the powerful spiritual power that erupted from the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir within Gu Fei's body, not allowing a single strand of it to spill out.
Li Lingfeng and Zi Yu were both extremely envious. Gu Fei actually had such a fortuitous encounter that the sect leader would personally treat Gu Fei's injuries. The medicinal power of the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir would definitely cause Gu Fei to be reborn. This time, Gu Fei had really profited from a disaster.
The power in the secret chamber was vast and mighty, and the yuan qi emitted from Gu Fei's body also became more and more intense. His body, under the enormous spiritual power, rapidly recovered. The fist mark on his back gradually began to fade, and the blue veins also began to disappear on his back.
And the barrier that Gu Fei's cultivation seemed to have made some breakthroughs under the effect of this spiritual power. The spiritual power transformed from the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir was extremely pure, flawless, and full of vitality. It was precisely this power that caused Gu Fei's stagnant cultivation base to once again advance.
Gu Fei's cultivation base was originally only a step away from the peak of the Seventh Heavenly Layer. Now, he had finally taken this step. With his cultivation base at the peak of the Seventh Heavenly Layer, even if he encountered an Awakened Ninth Heavenly Layer cultivator, he would still be able to put up a fight.
On the path of cultivation, aside from unremitting effort, there was also a bit of opportunity. For example, if Gu Fei hadn't been attacked this time, if Daoist Xuantian hadn't personally saved him, he wouldn't have been able to make a breakthrough under such circumstances.
There was no doubt about the miraculous effects of the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir. When the sky was about to brighten and the stars began to recede from the sky, Gu Fei finally completed the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir and completely refined the spiritual power transformed from the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir. The spiritual power merged with his own strength, and all his internal and external injuries were completely healed.
The shocking fist mark on Gu Fei's back had long since disappeared.
Just as he was refining the enormous spiritual power of the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, all the muscles and bones in Gu Fei's body immediately exploded, and a wave of air surged out from his body.
Li Lingfeng and Zi Yu, who were standing behind Daoist Xuantian, suddenly felt a strong wind blow against their faces, and they were extremely shocked.
Gu Fei's bronze-colored skin was shrouded in a layer of precious light, and there seemed to be streams of light swimming on his body. His iron body exuded a powerful and oppressive aura.
The flesh and bones in his body had been cleansed by the enormous spiritual power of the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir nine times, making Gu Fei feel as if he had been reborn. His precious body had become even more powerful.
The fluctuations of spiritual power in the secret room gradually subsided, and the fluctuations of yuan qi also gradually converged into Gu Fei's body. Gu Fei's eyelids moved, and then he opened his eyes.
What was reflected in his eyes was the slight smile of Daoist Xuantian, the head of the Taixuan Sect.
Gu Fei hurriedly turned around and bowed to Daoist Xuantian. "Gu Fei greets the head of the sect. Many thanks to the head of the sect for saving my life." Although Gu Fei had been sent flying by a punch from the mysterious person before Daoist Xuantian had arrived, and then he had been strangled by the Li Fire Sword Qi on his neck, causing him to fall into a coma, the moment he woke up, he knew that it was Daoist Xuantian who had saved him.
"Mm!" Daoist Xuantian stood up and said indifferently, "Get up." Then he said to Li Lingfeng and Zi Yu, "Take Gu Fei to bathe and change his clothes, and then go directly to the square. It won't be long before the second round of the competition begins."
"Yes! Head of the sect! "Li Lingfeng and Zi Yu hurriedly responded in unison.
Then, Gu Fei, Li Lingfeng, and Zi Yu bowed to Daoist Xuantian, and Gu Fei, led by Li Lingfeng and Zi Yu, walked out of the secret room.
"Mm! There seems to be a secret on Gu Fei's body. The tai chi symbol on his chest is very similar to the one that appeared on the night when the Demon Lord of Six Paths attacked. Could there be some connection between the two? "Daoist Xuantian sat down cross-legged on the praying mat again and began to ponder.
When he was healing Gu Fei, he had discovered the strangeness on Gu Fei's chest. This shocked him, and question marks appeared in his mind.
