Gu Xuan sat cross-legged on the ground. Strands of white silk fell into his body. There were thousands of these strands of extremely condensed Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. They were densely packed and looked like strands of hair that were hanging upside down.
Beside him, Liu Yue 'er hugged her knees and sat on a smooth rock. She propped up her cheek with one hand as she excitedly watched Gu Xuan cultivate.
As for the white-robed old man, that stingy artifact spirit, his heart could not take it after Gu Xuan unleashed his full power, so he simply left. He only hoped that when he returned, Gu Xuan would have exploded and died. Only then would he be able to vent his hatred.
Gu Xuan's aura was much thicker than before. It was obvious that he had reached a higher level. Not long after he started cultivating, he broke through the bottleneck and officially stepped into the Three-Star Mystic Rank.
Soon after, Gu Xuan opened his eyes and stopped his training. The essence of the Yuan Power that had seeped out was absorbed back into the black hole.
"Brother Gu Xuan, why aren't you cultivating?" Liu Yue 'er asked in surprise.
Gu Xuan shook his head. "Although the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi is pure and abundant, the absorption effect is too weak. It needs to be polished, or the effect will be too poor."
Normally, when a martial artist cultivated, besides increasing the power of fire, the most important thing was to temper and condense the power of fire that they cultivated. Only then could they continue to absorb it. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to continue improving, and their body would fall into a saturated state.
Gu Xuan originally didn't have such concerns. With the Icy Soul Frigid Flame and the Divine Weapon Art, his body's capacity was much more terrifying than others. If an ordinary person's body was a small water tank, Gu Xuan's body was a vast ocean.
However, even if it was a vast ocean, there would come a time when it would be filled up. It was just that Gu Xuan did not have so many resources in the past. The water that entered his body would flow out very quickly. This was the so-called grinding and condensing.
However, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi essence was too terrifying. It was so terrifying that it filled his body. At this time, he could only grind it himself. Otherwise, if he relied on his body to refine it, the speed would be too slow.
"Brother Gu Xuan, do you need my help?" Liu Yue 'er stood up, her eyes filled with excitement.
"Yes," Gu Xuan nodded, "Attack me now and help me polish my flame power."
"Then be careful! Yue 'er is very strong! " Liu Yue'er raised her head and removed the longsword from her body. She placed it aside and raised her hand. A terrifying aura began to brew in her palm.
Boom!
Taking a step forward, Liu Yue 'er's body seemed to have transformed into an illusion as she shot towards Gu Xuan. Air waves churned as they moved in all directions.
"[Star Picking Hand]!"
Gu Xuan shouted. The eight secret inscriptions on the back of his hand gave off a dazzling light.
Bang!
When the two palms collided, Gu Xuan felt a terrifying force surging over. The bones in his body trembled from the impact. Following the transmission of this force, his joints seemed to be twisting like waves.
Thud! Thud!
Gu Xuan retreated three steps before stabilizing his body.
"Eh?" Liu Yue 'er raised her pretty eyebrows and was slightly surprised: "Brother Gu Xuan was actually able to receive my palm strike. Just now, I displayed the strength of an ordinary Profound Grade Eight Star."
Liu Yue 'er's Profound Grade Eight Star was slightly weaker than Lin Hao's. However, Gu Xuan was only a Profound Grade Three Star. There was a difference of five levels between them, but he only retreated three steps.
"Maintain this strength. Maybe … I can be stronger." Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows and said excitedly.
"Won't it hurt?" Liu Yue 'er asked hesitantly.
"It's okay. Just attack me." Gu Xuan shook his head. It was impossible to say that it didn't hurt. In order to stabilize his body, he had to bear all the force. Not only was it painful, but it also caused his bones to be dislocated. The pain was bone-piercing.
However, for Gu Xuan, it was nothing. If he wanted to reach the pinnacle of the continent, it was not as simple as refining Yuan Qi and practicing martial arts.
The pain of practicing the [God Weapon Arts] was several times greater than this. However, if most warriors could obtain this legendary cultivation technique, they would not give up because of the pain.
"Then I will continue!" Liu Yue 'er nodded and struck out another palm strike. This time, the force was even stronger than before.
Peng Peng Peng Peng …
Numerous low and deep noises rose and fell on the Desolate Peak. After a couple of hundred noises, it finally came to a stop. At this moment, Gu Xuan did not have the last bit of strength left as he collapsed weakly.
"Huff Huff!"
Liu Yue 'er, who was beside him, was so tired that she bent over and gasped for breath.
This level of strength was only one-tenth of her true strength. She thought that she could easily endure it. However, Gu Xuan's endurance was beyond her imagination. If Gu Xuan did not collapse from exhaustion, she would be the one to collapse.
"Continue to practice!"
Gu Xuan clenched his teeth and gathered the last bit of strength in his body. He sat down cross-legged and continued to absorb the Yuan Qi essence.
Now, the flame energy in Gu Xuan's body had been completely refined. The flame energy vortex was one-tenth smaller than before.
However, its power was stronger than before. Moreover, it was in a state of extreme emptiness. The devouring power had reached its peak again.
Half a day later, Gu Xuan's flame energy was saturated again. He continued to drag Liu Yue 'er to do the hard work. Liu Yue' er was so tired that she was drenched in sweat.
If Liu Yue 'er's master or the Purple Wind Martial Sect saw this, their jaws would drop. Although Liu Yue' er was talented, she was not very hardworking in her cultivation. She would often slack off when she was tired.
Her master had tried to stop her strictly. However, after several futile attempts, he could only let her be. After all, Liu Yue 'er's cultivation speed was quite fast.
This kind of exhaustion to the point of being drenched in sweat was almost inconceivable.
He sat down again and looked at Liu Yue 'er's sweat-drenched clothes, revealing her beautiful figure. He could not help but feel some lust in his heart. However, when he saw Liu Yue' er's pure and clear eyes, he could not help but curse himself for being a beast.
Although Yue 'er was in love with him, she was only 15 years old. After being reborn, she had regressed in this aspect.
"Cultivate, cultivate …"
Gu Xuan abandoned all distracting thoughts and threw himself into his cultivation.
In the following days, Gu Xuan's life became monotonous and boring. He constantly absorbed the Yuan Qi of the world and refined it by fighting with Yue 'er.
Liu Yue 'er could also clearly feel the changes in Gu Xuan. From being forced back by her palm to being able to fight on par with her when she used the strength of an ordinary Eight Star Spirit Grade, in just four days, Gu Xuan had undergone earth-shattering changes.
On the barren mountain, the two were fighting. At this moment, Liu Yue 'er's strength was twice as strong as before. She had completely suppressed Gu Xuan.
Bang!
Their palms collided. Gu Xuan's body was thrown back and hit the rock behind him.
"Brother Gu Xuan?" Liu Yue 'er was shocked.
