After adjusting his breathing for a while, when the lake was about to be filled with water, Gu Zheng went on his way again, madly opening up a river channel.
The rest of the way was quite smooth, but the river channel was still winding forward.
Although the winding river channel increased the number of times Gu Zheng used the 'Earth Splitting Technique', it also cultivated Gu Zheng's Earth Control Art at the same time. As a result, when he encountered the last mountain blocking the way, Gu Zheng used less time than when he dealt with the previous mountain because of the increased power of the Earth Control Art.
The border was already in front of him. As the river channel created by Gu Zheng's' Earth Splitting Technique 'touched the light screen, Gu Zheng's vision went black, and then it lit up.
The scene in front of him was completely different from what he had seen before. This was the real space of the nine-story tower, and Gu Zheng was now on the ninth floor.
Another jade box appeared at his feet. Gu Zheng didn't care about it for the time being, but checked his' natal soil '.
The 'natal soil' was a bit bigger than before. Although the ninth 'energy battlefield' really tired Gu Zheng out, the increase in power of the Earth Control Art still made Gu Zheng very happy.
"Gu Zheng!"
The weapon spirit suddenly shouted, giving Gu Zheng a fright.
"Have you all forgotten about my existence?"
In his inner vision, the weapon spirit angrily stared at Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng was still immersed in the experience of the 'energy battlefield', and indeed temporarily forgot about the weapon spirit.
"No, how could I forget about you? I was just thinking about something! "Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Humph!" The weapon spirit waved its small fist at Gu Zheng: "After coming out of the 'energy battlefield', you immediately felt my existence. After such a strange thing happened, you didn't contact me, and you still dare to say that you didn't forget about me?"
"I really didn't forget. You are the most beautiful weapon spirit in the world. Even if I forget someone, I can't forget you, right?"
Looking at Gu Zheng's sincere eyes, the weapon spirit's eyes were full of disbelief, but it still smiled happily: "I'll take it that you're telling the truth."
"Of course, it has to be true!" Gu Zheng chuckled and then said, "This nine-story pagoda is really not simple. It can actually cut off our communication and senses."
"Indeed, I didn't expect it."
The weapon spirit bitterly smiled: "However, it is a top grade immortal weapon, so it's not strange that it has some incredible divine abilities. Quickly tell me, what did you gain in here? I feel that your strength has increased a bit, especially the natal power of the five elements' power of the five elements! "
The natal power of the five elements mentioned by the weapon spirit was referring to Gu Zheng's natal true fire, natal true water, and the like.
After listening to Gu Zheng's story, the weapon spirit's eyes widened: "I didn't expect that the 'energy battlefield' in the nine-story tower would give you such a great harvest. This is really great! Not to mention the cultivation of the five elements' power, just the things you gained from the two divine thoughts are enough to make most immortal cultivators green with envy. This is really a great opportunity! "
Seeing the weapon spirit's shock and joy, Gu Zheng also felt a sense of accomplishment, but he said very infuriatingly: "Really? I don't think so! "
"You bastard!"
The weapon spirit fiercely glared at Gu Zheng. Although it knew that he was showing off, it still couldn't help but say: "The two people who imparted their divine thoughts to you are at least at the level of Daluo Jinxian. How can the divine abilities passed down by such people be bad? What's more, the divine thoughts imparting is not like giving you a secret manual of immortal skills. You still need to cultivate slowly. Now you suddenly have something from the imparting of skills! "
"That's not true. There are some immortal skills about the natal true fire that I still need to spend time cultivating!" Gu Zheng said impatiently.
"I really want to bite you to death!"
The Artifact Spirit glared hatefully at Gu Zheng again, gnashing his teeth so hard that they creaked.
"Cough, cough!"
After successfully angering the weapon spirit, Gu Zheng, who was secretly happy in his heart, cleared his throat and said: "Let me see what's in the jade box, and then open the storage room!"
The jade box was opened by Gu Zheng. A portion of the items inside were cultivation resources, while the other portion was refining resources.
Among the cultivation resources, there were a total of twelve things that could be used as ingredients. The lowest quality was medium grade, and there were two excellent grade ingredients.
"I'm rich. I got two excellent grade ingredients. This is too good!" Gu Zheng laughed.
"It's really good to have such a reward for clearing the level. This makes me look forward to seeing what's in the storage room. Maybe there really is Metal Spiritual Qi here!" The weapon spirit said.
"I'm going to open the storage room!"
Gu Zheng cheerfully roared and went to a statue in the corner of the tower. Then, he began to operate it.
Every floor of the Chaos Tower had a core. The statue on the ninth floor was the core of this floor. Among its many functions, one was to open the storage room.
In some floors of the Chaos Tower, there were rooms. After Gu Zheng went down to the sixth floor, he pressed his hand on the door of a room.
The room that Gu Zheng had pushed open was the so-called confinement room. After operating it through the core, the room was opened with a push.
The layout of the room was similar to the rooms that Gu Zheng had seen before. The biggest difference was on the stone bed. There was a special light cover, and all kinds of things were floating in the light cover.
"Great!"
Seeing the things in the light cover, Gu Zheng couldn't help but cheer.
Gu Zheng had seen many dragons in the 'energy battlefield' where he practiced the fire control art. At a glance, he could tell that the two things wrapped in red light in the light cover were the dragon horns of a dragon.
"The dragon horns of a fire dragon, a high grade ingredient. You got two of them at once. At the right time, you can make two more elemental elixir dishes." The weapon spirit laughed.
Gu Zheng pressed his hand on the light cover, and the light cover immediately shattered. Before the items floating in the air fell, Gu Zheng kept them all in the chaotic space.
After keeping all the items in the chaotic space, Gu Zheng did an inventory.
Apart from the dragon horns, there were a total of 365 items, which was the same number as a year.
Among the 365 items, 213 were refining resources. Among them, there was no lack of materials to repair the Chaos Pagoda.
There were 150 alchemy materials, and 126 of them could be used as cooking ingredients.
Among the 126 ingredients, 86 were of the Common grade, 34 were of the Medium grade, and 6 were of the Excellent grade.
The remaining two items were stored in bottles. The bottles were made of special materials, and spiritual will couldn't detect them.
Gu Zheng opened one of the bottles and poured out a snow-white pill that was overflowing with pill fragrance.
"What kind of pill is this?"
Although Gu Zheng didn't know the name of the pill, he knew the effect of the pill. After all, he had comprehended part of the Way of Food and Drink. Pills were also edible, so he naturally had the ability to distinguish between them.
"This is an Immortal Body Pill!" The weapon spirit said.
"Immortal Body Pill? Good stuff! The name is very appropriate! "
Gu Zheng knew the effect of the pill, so he naturally knew where to use it.
The Immortal Body Pill was a high grade healing pill. It was a true immortal pill.
With Gu Zheng's current cultivation, the toughness of his body had already reached an exaggerated level. It could be said that even if he stood there without any defense, cultivators would not be able to injure him in the slightest.
After all, an immortal body was different from a mortal body, and Gu Zheng was an immortal cultivator of the Void Return realm. The destructive power of cultivators couldn't do any harm to such an immortal body.
Even if an immortal cultivator of the late stage of Level Five attacked Gu Zheng with a medium grade immortal weapon, it would be of no use! Cultivators were cultivators after all. The Divine Powers of mid-level immortal weapons would be somewhat discounted in their hands. This was also the key reason why Deacon Yang had asked Gu Zheng to use the immortal weapon to kill the Blood Soul in the crypt of the Shu Ruins when he had found out that Gu Zheng was an immortal cultivator. As for a high grade immortal weapon, even if a cultivator had one, he couldn't use it at all.
An immortal body was very strong, but once injured, the effect of ordinary healing pills wouldn't be very good. The 100 Immortal Body Pills that he had obtained this time filled the gap that Gu Zheng didn't have.
"Look at how happy you are! Isn't it just 100 Immortal Body Pills? With your current ability, you can definitely make a high grade Herbalist, and the effect of a high grade Herbalist is much better than an Immortal Body Pill, "the Weapon Spirit said disdainfully.
"Of course I know that a high grade Herbalist is more effective than an Immortal Body Pill, but Herbalist is different from ordinary food. Unless there is a special method, it can't be preserved for a long time. Otherwise, I could make some Herbalist and store it, and use it anytime and anywhere!"
It was a pity that Herbalist couldn't be preserved for a long time. Before Gu Zheng's cultivation was so profound, he had thought that he could make a breakthrough in this aspect in the future, so he could make more Herbalist and store it, and use it whenever he wanted.
However, after comprehending the Dao in terms of food, Gu Zheng understood that the reason why Herbalist couldn't be preserved for a long time was that this kind of thing had already reached the limit of what Dao could tolerate in some aspects! As the saying goes, where there's gain, there's loss, and where there's gain, there's deficiency. Herbalist couldn't be preserved for a long time, which could be considered a flaw of Herbalist. After all, it could be said to have turned something rotten into something magical. Using some inconspicuous things, it could exert an amazing effect.
Was it true that Herbalist couldn't be preserved for a long time? This was actually not absolute. After all, the Herbalist that Gokusen made could be preserved for a long time. Mount Shu had also used a very special method to preserve the Herbalist that they ordered from Gu Zheng, and gave it to their disciples who entered Mount Shu.
It was a pity that Gokusen's method of preserving Herbalist was not something that Gu Zheng could do with his current cultivation. The method used by Mount Shu to preserve Herbalist consumed materials as rare as Metal Spiritual Qi, and Gu Zheng didn't have such materials now.
Seeing that Gu Zheng was a little depressed, the Weapon Spirit didn't continue the topic of Herbalist. She smiled slightly and said, "Gu Zheng, do you think that this bottle contains Metal Spiritual Qi?"
"I don't know if it's Metal Spiritual Qi, but the thing inside should be a kind of gas!" Gu Zheng said with certainty.
"How do you know that it's a gas inside?" The Weapon Spirit asked subconsciously.
"Stupid, because it's light!"
Gu Zheng laughed and carefully pulled the cork out a little. Immediately, a white mist overflowed from the bottle.
"Metal Spiritual Qi!"
The Weapon Spirit shouted. Gu Zheng immediately put the cork back on the bottle, his heart pounding.
The white mist that was full of killing intent had stirred up the Metal Power in Gu Zheng's body. If it wasn't Metal Spiritual Qi, then what was it?
"I finally got it. It's really not easy!" Gu Zheng said with emotion.
"It's really not easy. It's been so long since you got the Nine-Story Blood Pagoda. I thought that Metal Spiritual Qi could only be found when you entered Untainted Land. I didn't expect it to be hidden in the Nine-Story Holy Pagoda of the Black Sky Snail Sect!" The Weapon Spirit also sighed with emotion.
Gu Zheng didn't stay in the Nine-Story Pagoda for long. He brought it back to the sect and gave the Metal Spiritual Qi to Jiaojiao.
After getting the Metal Spiritual Qi, Jiaojiao was naturally very happy. She couldn't wait to repair the Chaos Pagoda.
However, Gu Zheng had consumed a lot of energy in the ninth 'Energy Battlefield'. The repair of the Chaos Pagoda had reached the stage where he was needed. Therefore, she had to set the repair time for the next day, leaving Gu Zheng half a day to recover.
"After listening to master's description of the 'Energy Battlefield', I think that the 'Energy Battlefield' in the new Nine-Story Pagoda can only be used once a day."
Jiaojiao's voice paused for a moment before continuing, "But in the following days, I feel that master should only use it once a day. As for the upper echelons of the sect, that will have to wait until I've completed the current repairs and do a thorough investigation of the 'energy battlefield' in the new nine-storey tower! This way, we can avoid some unpredictable variables. After all, it still needs to be repaired! "
"Okay." Gu Zheng nodded.
Early the next morning.
Looking at the two Pagodas that were now completely the same, and thinking back to the strange Nine-Story Blood Pagoda, Gu Zheng felt a sense of accomplishment that could not be concealed.
With the Metal Spiritual Qi, the original Thirteen-Story Pagoda could be truly combined with the Nine-Story Blood Pagoda. After combining the two into one, Gu Zheng really had an extra Immortal Weapon. When he wanted to use it, he could bring the Chaos Pagoda with him. And when the two Pagodas were combined, they could open up the 'Energy Battlefield' that could be used to cultivate Divine Sense.
According to Jiaojiao, the final repair of the Nine-Story Blood Pagoda would not take too long if there were enough materials. It would probably be completely completed in half a month.
The core of the Twenty-Two-Story Pagoda was a Chaos Statue with a head but no face on the wall. When the light ball representing Jiaojiao entered the Chaos Statue, the statue immediately burst into a gray mist.
Almost all the materials needed to repair the Chaos Pagoda had been placed on the ground. The mist produced by the statue covered the materials on the ground like a living creature. Then, it turned into a whirlwind that kept spinning. As for the materials in the whirlwind that were not sturdy enough, they immediately showed signs of turning into dust.
Gu Zheng, who had participated in the Chaos Pagoda's repairs a few times, knew that there was no need for him now, so he closed his eyes and began to cultivate.
The whirlwind broke down the materials very slowly. Unknowingly, five hours had passed.
When Gu Zheng opened his eyes, the whirlwind was still spinning, but the things inside, including the sturdiest Immortal Weapon, had all turned into dust.
"Master woke up just in time. It's time to use the Blood Maple Tree Core." Jiaojiao smiled.
"Alright!"
Gu Zheng nodded and picked up the Blood Maple Tree Core beside him. He forced the blood from his fingertip into the tree core.
After absorbing Gu Zheng's blood, the Blood Maple Tree Core immediately emitted a piercing red light.
"Awoo!"
The originally featureless Chaos Statue's head suddenly cracked open like a mouth. A strong suction force came from it, and the Blood Maple Tree Core in Gu Zheng's hand was sucked in.
"Master, now we still need your blood and Immortal Qi." Jiaojiao's voice sounded again.
"What do you want me to do?" Gu Zheng asked.
"In a moment, the Blood Maple Tree Core will burn in the core. At that time, Master will need to put your finger into the statue's mouth and inject Immortal Qi."
As Jiaojiao's voice fell, the Chaos Statue trembled slightly. Through its big mouth, Gu Zheng saw a faint flame coming from inside.
"Now is the time."
Jiaojiao said. Gu Zheng immediately put his finger into the Chaos Statue's mouth and injected Immortal Qi.
The feeling of being sucked came from his finger. Gu Zheng's blood and Immortal Qi flowed into the Chaos Statue's interior.
"It's the same as the previous repairs. At the beginning, you will need a little more blood and Immortal Qi. After a few days, you will need a lot less." Jiaojiao said.
One minute.
Ten minutes.
One hour.
Three hours passed. The Chaos Statue released Gu Zheng's finger.
"Master, today's repairs will end here. You can have a good rest. Tomorrow, at the same time, we will still need your blood and Immortal Qi." Jiaojiao said.
"Understood."
Gu Zheng nodded, then sat down cross-legged to fully recover.
There were still many Immortal Arts and Immortal Skills to practice. After recovering, Gu Zheng first used the Purgatory Sacred Art to cultivate his Immortal Will. Then he entered the Chaos Space to cultivate.
Unknowingly, thirteen days passed. During these thirteen days, Gu Zheng spent three hours a day helping to repair the Primal Chaos Pagoda.
Today, the 22nd level of the Chaos Tower was finally going to need Metal Spirit Qi.
"Master, follow my instructions and refine the metal spiritual energy. After the metal spiritual energy enters the core, you can use your immortal energy to assist. In less than ten minutes, the twenty-second level of the Primal Chaos Pagoda will be repaired."
Following Jiaojiao's voice, Gu Zheng opened the bottle containing the Metal Spirit Qi.
After the bottle was opened, the Metal Spirit Qi slowly floated out. This special Qi did not spread in the air, but was guided by Gu Zheng's hand seals, spiraling in the air.
Gu Zheng's hand seals moved back and forth, the Natal Earth in his body vibrating non-stop, releasing the Power of Earth to nourish the Metal Spirit Qi in the air.
Following Gu Zheng's casting, the Metal Spiritual Qi in the air began to condense, as if it was about to condense into a sphere.
"Pfft!"
Gu Zheng bit the tip of his tongue and spat a mouthful of blood on the Metal Spirit Qi, speeding up the condensation process.
At the same time, Gu Zheng's hand seals moved quickly, withdrawing the Power of Earth that had been nourishing the Metal Spirit Qi.
"Whoosh!"
Following the withdrawal of the Power of Earth, the Metal Spirit Qi that had condensed into a small ball suddenly surged, as if a transparent flame was burning.
"Master, now is the time!"
Jiaojiao's voice sounded, and the Chaos Statue's mouth opened again. Gu Zheng waved his hand, and the small ball of Metal Spirit Qi immediately flew into the Chaos Statue's mouth. At the same time, the fairy weapon that came out of Gu Zheng's fingers also floated into the Chaos Statue's mouth like a wisp of green smoke.
White light emitted from the Chaos Statue, so bright that people could not open their eyes. After the 22-story Chaos Tower shook violently for a while, a black light shot out from the Chaos Statue's mouth, merging with the dazzling white light in the air. Finally, the whole tower showed a kind of gray color.
There was a strange phenomenon in the Chaos Tower, and there was also a strange phenomenon outside the Chaos Tower. The gray light shot out from the Chaos Tower, forming a huge light pillar that shot straight into the sky, and it showed a kind of momentum that was sometimes bright and sometimes dark.
"Eh?"
An old man in green who was flying in the sky suddenly made a curious sound.
"The light that is sometimes bright and sometimes dark, is it the birth of a strange treasure?"
The old man in green murmured and flew straight in the direction of the Emei Sect. This person was not an immortal cultivator on Earth. He had just escaped from the Untainted Land two days ago.
