Desolate Heaven Secret Area
Lin He left the Heavenly Court and went straight to Senior Su's residence.
Su Tianxin saw that Lin He was alone and frowned, "What? Did Gu Xuan refuse?"
"Yes, he did." Lin He nodded.
"I didn't expect this Gu Xuan to be so unyielding." Su Tianxin sneered, "However, without strength, the so-called toughness is just a joke. You think you are arrogant, but in fact, you are extremely stupid."
"I also feel that this Gu Xuan might not be able to rise up. His actions are too flamboyant." Lin He also nodded.
"Zhang Yang? Humph! He's just arrogant and conceited! " Su Tianxin sneered, "As for you, I think highly of you. Two months later, the Desolate Heaven Secret Realm will open. At that time, you will be able to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat."
"Yes!" Lin He nodded. "This time, I will definitely not disappoint Senior Sister."
"Very good." Su Tianxin nodded and waved her hand. "You can leave. You don't need to find trouble with Gu Xuan in the future. An arrogant clown won't have any great achievements."
Lin He bowed respectfully and left, closing the door behind him.
Su Tianxin snorted and tapped her finger on the table: "Gu Xuan, Gu Xuan, how can you be so arrogant? You don't even put me in your eyes and you even have ideas about Yue 'er. How can you understand how precious Yue' er's physique is? She's a legendary seventh revolution Saint Physique. The higher the level, the easier it is to cultivate. She might even reach the legendary Emperor level.
"Unless you can match Yue 'er one day, I will never allow the two of you to be together." Su Tianxin raised her head and revealed a firm smile.
…
Gu Xuan had entered the top ten of the Mountain River List, and the two months of challenges had finally come to an end, causing many people to sigh, especially those who had been paying attention to Gu Xuan, and even those elite students who had been mocking and ridiculing Gu Xuan, at that moment, all of them claimed that they had high hopes for Gu Xuan, and had the qualifications to brag to others.
However, no matter how lively a matter was, there would be a time when it cooled down. After half a month, this matter finally returned to normal.
With Yun Xi's help, Gu Xuan didn't need to raise the quality of the Ghost Deity Pills by himself. Under Yun Xi's purification ability, even the lowest quality Ghost Deity Pills were all upgraded to high quality. They were twice as good as the medium quality Ghost Deity Pills that Gu Xuan had refined before.
Gu Xuan had also used all the Treasure Points he had earned from the elite students to purchase Spiritual Herbs for Zong Qi to refine. Including the previous batch, he had a total of more than 30 Elixirs.
A fourth-grade medicinal pill, and an ancient fourth-grade medicinal pill at that!
If an ordinary warrior was able to refine these elixirs, it would be enough to raise him from Black Grade One Star to Pinnacle Honorable Grade. However, to Gu Xuan, elixirs of this grade were like jelly beans to be consumed continuously in order to maintain his cultivation speed.
Close to a month's time, Gu Xuan refined 17 medicinal pills and finally reached the peak of Seven Stars Profound Rank.
This speed also made Yun Xi speechless. "Gu Xuan, I am a little curious as to whether you are a human or a ferocious beast. Refining these elixirs in a month's time would probably cause an ordinary Honorable Grade warrior to explode and die."
Gu Xuan also frowned and found it difficult to understand.
The resources he needed to break through had always far exceeded his expectations. Sometimes, it could even exceed his expectations by five or six times. At first, he thought that there was a problem with his estimation ability. Only now did he realize that things were far from that simple.
It seemed that every kind of resource or elixir had a good effect when he first used it. However, the effect would slowly decrease as time went on.
It was the same for the Beast Fire before, and it was the same for the Ghost Deity Pills now.
"Could it be that elixirs are the same as the Beast Fire? When a certain amount is consumed, there will be a heavenly suppression?" Thinking of this, Gu Xuan suddenly felt a little helpless. This situation seemed to be the only explanation.
After pondering for a moment, Gu Xuan also felt that this was probably the case. Among the elixirs, for example, the Heaven Mending Pill, the effect of consuming one pill was the strongest. The second and third pills would decrease by half.
Why did this half of the elixir's effect disappear?
According to Gu Xuan's guess, the elixir's effect should have disappeared due to the heavenly suppression. Because the Heaven Mending Pill was too heaven-defying, the heavenly suppression would occur.
Previously, when Gu Xuan refined the Beast Fire, he was also suppressed by the heavenly suppression.
This also made Gu Xuan faintly feel that everything about cultivation was suppressed by the heavenly suppression.
Just like the number of chakras, the number of Heavenly Flames, Earthly Flames, and Human Flames.
Gu Xuan had never heard of ordinary elixirs being suppressed by the heavenly suppression.
"That's right. Refining a few ordinary elixirs is enough for a warrior to break through to the next realm. There is no need to refine such elixirs. Furthermore, ordinary people do not have my devouring speed. It takes a long time to refine one elixir."
Gu Xuan nodded in understanding. It seemed that ordinary elixirs were not suppressed by the heavenly suppression. It was just that the effect was too weak. It required a certain amount, and this amount was not something ordinary people could achieve.
In order to prove this conclusion, Gu Xuan recorded the effect of each refinement. The result was as he had guessed.
The effect of every elixir would gradually decrease. Although it was not much, at this rate, the Divine Ghost Pill would soon be useless to him.
Although his conclusion was confirmed, Gu Xuan still found it hard to be happy.
It was not that easy to solve this problem. Although he still had the ancient elixir's recipe, he had already squandered all his Treasure Points. Wanting to earn such a large amount of Treasure Points was harder than ascending to the heavens.
"Forget it. I'll refine the Divine Ghost Pill first. After refining the Divine Ghost Pill, I'll think of other ways. Fortunately, my Origin Flame is only a Superior Grade Heavenly Flame. If it was the legendary supreme flame, it would be terrible." Gu Xuan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
The amount of resources required to break through to the next level was more and more ridiculous. Refining the same type of elixir and being suppressed by the heavenly suppression seemed to have forced Gu Xuan into a dead end. His future cultivation would become more and more difficult. Even breaking through to the Venerable level would be a problem.
"If it really is the supreme flame, it should be much better than the current situation." Suddenly, Yun Xi said leisurely.
"What do you mean?" Gu Xuan was slightly stunned.
"If the supreme flame is the Origin Flame, although it still requires the same amount of resources to break through, the supreme flame will automatically absorb the energy of the world to aid your cultivation. Furthermore, if the supreme flame is the Origin Flame, it will be much easier for you to break through the bottleneck." Yun Xi explained.
"How do you know all this?" Gu Xuan asked suspiciously.
"I'm not too sure either. I suddenly understood all this." Yun Xi said in a daze.
Gu Xuan's gaze was somewhat grave. Naturally, Yun Xi would not know all this for no reason. Then, it was very likely that she had sensed it through the Heavenly Dao.
But why did Yun Xi know all this? Could it be that the Heavenly Dao wanted him to refine the Evil Spirit True Fire and master the supreme flame?
If that was the case, then why did the Heavenly Dao do this? He was also a person who had been reborn. Why could he be reborn? Moreover, he was reborn in the body of a youth with the same name and surname as well as the same clan.
Thinking of all this, Gu Xuan felt a chill run down his spine.
Everything about him seemed to be pushed by an invisible hand, and he was unable to grasp it. This made Gu Xuan very unhappy.
"Forget it, it's useless to think too much. I'd better improve my strength as soon as possible. The supreme flame … But what's the matter? Since this flame is helpful to me, then I must get it!"
Gu Xuan threw these thoughts out of his mind and focused on cultivation.
…
Another month passed. With the accumulation of pills, Gu Xuan finally broke through to the Xuan Grade Seven Star. There were only a few Supernatural Pills left. When Gu Xuan went to refine the remaining Supernatural Pills, he realized that these pills were no different from jelly beans — if the difference in taste was not considered a difference.
Gu Xuan had only started to practice his martial arts. He had cultivated the Star Picking Hand to the limit of 30 Star Picking Secret Runes. However, the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Footwork was unable to break through the limits of the Human Grade and reach the Earth Grade.
After all, creating an Earth Grade martial art was something that could only be encountered by chance.
During this period of time, another matter caused a stir in the entire Heavenly Court.
It was finally time for the annual Desolate Heaven Secret Realm to open!
The Desolate Heaven Secret Realm was the cave of an expert that Yingtian Academy controlled. The strength of this expert was at least at the Zong Grade, or even the Emperor Grade.
And the cave left behind by this person naturally had many treasures.
This expert had intentionally left behind a test. Every year, the cave would be opened for 10 days, allowing martial artists below the Paragon Grade to enter.
When this place was discovered, Sky Shadow Martial Sect and Purple Wind Martial Sect both used force to barge in. In the end, they realized that there were not many important treasures inside, and the things inside were only useful for weak martial artists.
Out of respect for their seniors, the two of them did not forcefully take away the treasures inside, but treated it as a testing ground, allowing the top 20 geniuses of the Mountain River List to enter. Firstly, it was to gain experience, and secondly, to obtain resources.
This action also increased the allure of the Mountain River List. Many people felt that the reason why Gu Qin chose to stay in Heavenly Court was because she was eyeing the opportunity to enter the Desolate Heaven Secret Realm.
After receiving the news, Gu Xuan was ecstatic.
In the Desolate Heaven Secret Realm, one relied on strength, but also luck. If one's strength was weak, one would not be able to defeat the guards inside, and if one's luck was bad, one would not even have the chance to meet the guards.
Gu Xuan's strength was needless to say. He who had broken through to the Xuan Grade Seven Star was definitely at the peak of the Mountain River List. As for luck, when one had methods, luck was not essential.
