I'll take your fourth place.
CHAPTER 151 OF COURSE
Gu Xuan sorted out all the treasures, categorized them, and neatly put them in a bag. He tied the bag with a string and pinned it to his waist.
Gently patting, Gu Xuan grinned in satisfaction.
Yun Xi's real body floated outside and circled around the package. She was very proud of herself. "Oh my, I'm going to be rich again. These things are worth at least one ten-thousandth of my previous net worth. No, it's one eight-thousandth of my previous net worth. How great would it be if this kind of Secret Territory was open every day? I could make up for my losses."
"Every day?" Gu Xuan was also amused by Yun Xi. "Do you think this is the remains of an ancient Saint? The treasures here are only worth the value of a Zong Realm warrior. Even if we looted them all, how much could there be?"
"Sigh, that's true. A slightly better Human Tier Spiritual Treasure would be able to match everything here." Yun Xi also felt very helpless. "If I could have a Heaven-grade treasure, then I would be able to make up for all my losses."
Gu Xuan shook his head and smiled.
Heaven-grade treasure?
If there really was such a treasure, not to mention the Ying Tian Sect, even the entire Burning Sky Continent would be shaken. An Earth-ranked treasure fragment from the Great Desolate Dynasty had already attracted the covetous eyes of countless factions. If there was a Heaven-ranked treasure fragment, who knew how many Great Emperors would have already arrived?
"There are still three days left …" Gu Xuan frowned and pondered. He had already plundered more than a third of the treasures in this area. It was obviously not appropriate to continue plundering. Moreover, under such circumstances, he might not be able to obtain many treasures in a short period of time.
However, given Gu Xuan's character, he would not waste even the slightest bit of time, let alone three days.
"Yunxi, help me find the location of another treasure." Gu Xuan pondered for a moment before speaking again.
"What? Are you going to steal other people's treasures?" Yun Xi became excited when she heard this.
"No, I'm looking for an Exalted-level puppet to spar with and train my strength," Gu Xuan said.
There was a hint of helplessness in Yun Xi's voice. "I really don't understand you. Why are you cultivating so crazily instead of focusing on treasures?"
Gu Xuan smiled, "If I don't increase my strength, how can I go to the Ice Source and take back your treasure?"
"That's right." Yun Xi replied in realization, "Then follow me."
A man and a flame flew away. Soon, they arrived at a place with treasures.
"I am the guardian. If you can defeat me, you can obtain the treasures inside. You can choose any one of them." The Exalted level puppet spoke in a low and muffled voice.
"Defeat?" Gu Xuan's eyes lit up. He was not coveting the treasures inside. Instead, he purely wanted to increase his strength by exchanging blows. A puppet that needed to be defeated in order to complete the test was also the most suitable type.
Previously, when Gu Xuan encountered this kind of puppet, he was unable to defeat it. It was also thanks to Yun Xi's power that he was able to defeat it. In fact, Gu Xuan was not a match for a Venerable level puppet at all.
"I've just broken through to Mystic Rank 6 stars, so I still need some time to get used to it. Sigh, I originally thought that with the experience from my previous life, I could easily grasp the power of any level. But now, it seems that this is far from the case."
Gu Xuan was somewhat helpless. In his previous life, he had mastered the peak of the Emperor Level to the extreme. He was unparalleled among the Emperor Level martial artists.
But now that he had mastered the Mystic Rank power, he could not do it perfectly. It was not that his consciousness and brain power were insufficient, but that his body could not keep up with his soul.
This was the so-called "the spirit is willing but the body is not strong enough". His mind was indeed thinking of perfection, but his body had not been tempered thousands of times. He did not have the feeling of moving at will without thinking.
When a martial art was cultivated to the extreme, there was no need to think at all when one wanted to use it. The body would react naturally. This was using the body to remember the martial art. This memory was more profound than the memory of the soul.
The soul was still the soul of the Alchemy Emperor, but the body had become another body.
"Let's fight!"
Gu Xuan changed his mind and went straight to the Exalted level puppet.
If he could completely grasp the power of Mystic Rank 7 stars in these three days, it would be of great help to his future cultivation. Even if he thought about it in another direction, even if it would not be of great help to him in the future, there was nothing else to do in these three days.
…
In the dark Desolate Ancient Relic, Gu Xuan fought with the Exalted level puppet with all his strength. The Star Plucking Palm was displayed to the extreme. Starlight shone and the palm power was like a waterfall. The power of the Exalted level puppet was also far from ordinary. Every punch and palm had the power of a mountain.
No matter how exquisite Gu Xuan's moves were, he could only be suppressed and forced to retreat.
"One, two, three, four, five … eleven, twelve, thirteen!" Yun Xi floated at the side. Every time Gu Xuan collided with the Exalted level puppet, she would shout out a number.
"Bang!" Finally, Gu Xuan could not hold on under the power of the Exalted level puppet and was sent flying.
"Young man, your strength is too weak. You have no fate with the treasure." The Exalted level puppet defeated Gu Xuan and said emotionlessly. It stood on the spot.
"Huff, huff!"
Climbing up from the ground, Gu Xuan's face was flushed red and he gasped for breath. Obviously, fighting with a puppet of this level had taken a great toll on him.
"Not bad, Gu Xuan. You lasted a total of thirteen times before you were defeated. You have improved a lot compared to before." Yun Xi guided the Qi of Heaven and Earth and poured it into Gu Xuan's body. Immediately, the latter's body recovered a lot.
Gu Xuan's lips curled into a smile. This was only the first day and his strength had improved a lot. When he fought with the Exalted level puppet before, he was defeated at the first clash. He could only rely on his strong body to withstand the puppet's many attacks to complete the assessment.
But now, he was able to clash head on with the Revered Rank Puppet for more than ten times before being defeated. His improvement was no small matter. Now, Gu Xuan felt that he had more or less grasped the power of the Profound Rank Seven Stars. He was not far from his most perfect state.
This was also due to his previous life's experience. Even if one's soul could keep up, it was only a matter of time for one's body to keep up. If it was an ordinary Mystic Grade 7 Star, they could have broken through to the next realm in the time it took to perfectly grasp this power.
"Hey, Gu Xuan, someone is coming. I will go back into your body first. There seems to be a lot of people, but they don't look like they are looking for trouble with you." Yun Xi suddenly said.
"Alright." Gu Xuan nodded his head and continued to sit at his original position to recover.
Although everyone in the Desolate Ancient Ruins were divided into a few positions and were responsible for their own areas, it was just a convention. There was no explicit prohibition for others to enter one's own area. Furthermore, the division was very vague, and the position they were at was considered the edge.
Gu Xuan sat cross-legged on the ground and slowly recovered from the injuries on his body. The internal injuries from the clash had to be quickly treated. If they accumulated, to a certain extent, it would be enough to paralyze a martial artist who had the ability to split mountains.
Compared to the members of Ying Tian Academy, Gu Xuan was more concerned about his own training.
Not long later, Gu Xuan saw three people walking over. The one in front had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. As he walked, a sharp aura was born.
Gu Xuan slightly noticed that person. He was the genius ranked fourth in the Mountain River List, called Wang Chu. Gu Xuan was not too sure about the rest, since he did not care much about such people.
"Eh, there is actually someone in this treasure ground. There is only one person, could it be Zhao Mayi or Luo Yi?"
Seeing Gu Xuan's figure, the few of them had some suspicions. To be able to move around alone in the Desolate Ancient Ruins, most likely only the top few powerful existences would be able to do so.
"Let's go and greet them. The Desolate Ancient Ruins is so big, and they actually came to our territory. That is too much." Wang Chu frowned. The Desolate Ancient Ruins was so big that they could not even finish searching in one direction. Normally, such a situation would not happen.
After walking for a distance, the three of them were suddenly startled. The person in front of them was not Zhao Mayi, nor was it Luo Yi, nor was it Lin He. It was an unfamiliar face.
"Who is this, is there such a person in the top 20?" Wang Chu frowned and asked.
A person by the side took a step forward and said with a look of ridicule: "Senior Brother Wang, you do not know, but this is the new top 20 in the Mountain River List. He defeated Qin Feng and is ranked tenth."
"Oh, it's Gu Xuan." Wang Chu then nodded his head in realization, and sneered: "I've heard of him, he is the one who got carried away with his talent, and actually rejected Luo Yi's invitation, and waited for the best price to sell. Now, he is in such a state of being abandoned. But I don't care about him, since he dares to come to my territory, then I will make him scram, let's go!"
The three of them walked forward. Gu Xuan could also sense that the three of them were rushing towards him. He stood up and raised his eyebrows at the three of them.
"You are Gu Xuan?" Wang Chu glanced at Gu Xuan's body, and upon discovering the bruises on the latter's body, a look of disdain appeared in his eyes.
Normally, Paragon Rank Puppets would not harm them. To be able to cause so many injuries, that meant that he was extremely weak.
"I am." Gu Xuan casually nodded his head.
"This is my territory, please leave." Wang Chu looked at Gu Xuan and said coldly.
Gu Xuan laughed: "The treasures in the Desolate Ancient Ruins are all obtained at will right? Since when did this place become your territory? It can't be that you people can't even find a place with treasures, and need to come and snatch them from me, right? "
"Gu Xuan, you have no choice." Wang Chu sneered, and a trace of ridicule appeared on his face: "This is my territory, and I will absolutely not allow anyone to have any ideas about the treasures here. Even if I don't want them, I will not leave them for you. To be honest, with your little strength, you actually want to obtain the treasures inside. You really don't know your own worth."
The sneer on Wang Chu's face became even denser: "Look at you, you are still able to leave so many injuries after exchanging blows with Paragon Rank Puppets. I even suspect that you used external strength to reach the tenth place. Could it be that external strength is suppressed in the ruins now?"
The other two also roared with laughter. The two of them had also been defeated by Gu Xuan, and their rankings had dropped. Therefore, they were very unhappy with Gu Xuan, and could not wait for Gu Xuan to be defeated by Wang Chu.
