Tan Gu flew out unwillingly and hit the wall again. He slid to the bottom of the wall and stared at Chu Li angrily as if his bones had been pulled out.
Chu Li approached him and slowly reached his hand into his chest.
Tan Gu struggled but could not escape Chu Li's hand. His body was limp and powerless.
Chu Li reached into his chest and took out a white jade bottle. He opened it and saw a flawless white pill. It was the Sky Pill.
He squinted his eyes and looked at it. It was good that it was not poison. He felt relieved and swallowed it. He smiled and closed fist saluted, "Thank you, Senior Tan Gu!"
Tan Gu's heart was in pain. His hatred for Chu Li shot out from his eyes like a raging fire that was about to burn him.
Chu Li could feel Tan Gu's mood. He worked so hard to rob but in the end, he helped someone else. It was really infuriating. He wanted to kill him but unfortunately, he could not kill Chu Li.
Chu Li closed fist saluted, "Senior Tan Gu, please do as you please. I'm going to cultivate in isolation."
He turned and went into his bedroom. He sat cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate. He quickly calmed down.
Endless inner energy flowed out of his stomach and into his Dantian. As his inner energy increased, his meridians and Dantian slowly expanded. It was as if his body was constantly expanding like an inflating balloon.
At this time, he needed to have a calm mind and not be affected by this feeling. Otherwise, he would not be able to control it. Ecstasy or panic would cause his inner energy to go haywire.
Chu Li sighed. The Sky Pill was indeed mysterious. Two Sky Pills were consumed but there was no violent feeling. His inner energy was still growing at a steady pace.
He stopped activating the Heavenly Heart Technique and started the Peering Skill.
Spirit pills that enhanced inner energy cultivation and spirit pills that restored inner energy seemed to replenish inner energy at first glance but they actually released completely different inner energy.
Most of the inner energy from Mystical Arts and Secret Arts were overbearing and tyrannical, causing damage to the body. Without a strong enough body, having a strong inner energy would instead be a disaster. It was like a narrow river meeting a flood, it could only be washed away.
The inner energy that could increase one's cultivation was a unique kind of inner energy that was different from the mental cultivation methods of martial arts. It could expand the meridians and dantian, but it would not harm them. This kind of inner energy was unique and had endless uses.
This kind of inner strength also had a cultivation method, but since this kind of inner strength was used to strengthen one's inner strength, it naturally did not have the ability to harm others. After cultivating it, it could not be used against enemies, otherwise it would be supporting the enemy and courting death.
Often, some top-notch experts felt that they had reached the end of their lifespans and could no longer break through. They would definitely die, so they would cultivate this kind of instilling secret technique. Before they died, they would impart the inner force they cultivated to their descendants, thereby increasing their cultivation.
However, this kind of secret technique was very difficult to cultivate. Not everyone could cultivate it, and there were very few who could inherit it. Moreover, this kind of inheritance was like pulling up seedlings to help them grow, and it also had its disadvantages. Therefore, there were even fewer people who cultivated it.
Chu Li speculated that Sun Mingyue's current achievements were probably related to this kind of enlightenment secret technique.
As he calmed his heart and focused, his cultivation level soared. He advanced the Heaven Peering Art layer by layer, starting from the first layer all the way to the third layer in one go. It only took a moment.
"Knock knock!" Suddenly, there was a knock on the door from outside.
Chu Li glided out of the bedroom and saw that Tan Gu had already gotten up from the small courtyard. He was sitting at the stone table and resting. He did not have the energy to leave the small courtyard.
He glanced at Tan Gu and turned to open the courtyard door.
Song Wu was standing outside the door. She was slender and graceful, and her charm was moving.
Her black robe fluttered in the wind, and her skin was as white as snow. She smiled sweetly. "Junior Brother Xu, are you alright?"
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. "Senior Sister Song, why are you back?"
Song Wu said, "I heard that Senior Brother Tan Gu came over to your place."
"Senior Brother Tan Gu is here." Chu Li smiled. "I was talking to Senior Brother Tan Gu."
"Then I will go in and listen." Song Wu said.
She vaguely heard about Tan Gu. Some rumors about him seemed to like to bully the younger generation and steal the Sky Soaring Pill from them.
When she heard that Tan Gu entered Chu Li's small courtyard, she hurried over. She was not even able to catch her breath. When she saw that Chu Li's expression was normal, she let out a sigh of relief.
She gracefully stepped into the courtyard and saw Tan Gu sitting at the stone table. His complexion was ashen, and his body was dull.
She coldly nodded her head.
When Tan Gu saw her enter, his expression became uglier and he forced a smile.
Chu Li said, "Senior Sister Song, you came at the right time. Senior Brother Tan Gu just lent me a Sky Soaring Pill. I have just consumed it and am cultivating."
"Senior Brother Tan Gu lent you a Sky Soaring Pill?" Song Wu was stunned.
She gracefully sat opposite Tan Gu and looked at him in surprise.
Tan Gu forced a smile.
Song Wu felt that she had to look at him in a different light. Who would lend a Sky Soaring Pill to others? It was decades of cultivation, how could he lend it to others!
She immediately reacted. Looking at Tan Gu's ashen complexion and forced smile, it was clear that he did not lend it willingly. He was forced to lend it.
She suddenly realized that Senior Brother Tan Gu wanted to steal Junior Brother Xu's Sky Soaring Pill, but in the end, he was robbed!
When she thought of this, she felt extremely happy. She turned her head to look at Chu Li. Her eyes were shining. She wanted to applaud and cheer for Chu Li.
She hated people who bullied the weak the most. She despised Tan Gu's actions. She felt that it was very satisfying to suffer a loss at Chu Li's hands.
She smiled sweetly and closed fist saluted, "Senior Brother Tan Gu, I really admire you!"
Tan Gu shook his head and said, "Junior Brother Xu is new here. His cultivation level is too weak. In order not to embarrass the Prophecy Pavilion, I lent him the Sky Soaring Pill so that he could quickly increase his cultivation level. As for me, I'm not in a hurry."
"Senior Brother Tan Gu really doesn't have to be in a hurry." Song Wu said meaningfully.
She could feel that Tan Gu was hiding his cultivation level. If he stole another Junior Brother's Sky Soaring Pill, his cultivation level would definitely improve by leaps and bounds. However, he was hiding it. It was obvious that he was guilty and did not dare to show it to others.
Senior Brother Tan Gu must not have thought that he finally ran into an iron plate. Not only did he not steal it, but he was also robbed. Seeing Tan Gu like this, she felt very comfortable. She could not wait to look at him for a while longer. That was why she spoke to him.
"Yes, yes." Tan Gu smiled and nodded.
Song Wu said, "What kind of relationship does Senior Brother Tan have with Junior Brother Xu? Why did you lend him the Sky Soaring Pill?"
"Hehe, it's a congenial conversation." Tan Gu laughed.
Song Wu nodded and praised, "How generous. I admire you!"
Tan Gu shook his head and smiled. "It's not worth mentioning."
Song Wu stood up and said, "If that's the case, I'll go back first. I won't disturb Junior Brother Xu's cultivation anymore. Senior Brother Tan Gu, do you want to come with me?"
"Sure, let's go together." Tan Gu quickly nodded.
He had always been rebuffed by Song Wu. Song Wu had always ignored him. Now that he suddenly heard that he had lent the Sky Soaring Pill to Xu Hun, his attitude immediately changed. This made him feel complicated. His heart ached, but he was also very happy.
Song Wu got up and left. As soon as she left Chu Li's courtyard, she disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Tan Gu shook his head helplessly. He could only try his best to return to his courtyard.
Just as he sat down and swallowed the spirit pill, he wanted to meditate to heal his injuries. However, there was another knock on the door.
He went to open the door, but it was his two friends who squeezed in.
"Haha, I didn't expect Junior Brother Tan Gu to be so generous. I really misjudged you!" The two laughed and praised him as soon as they entered.
Tan Gu was stunned and looked at the two in confusion.
