Gu Xuan was the number one Pill Emperor of the Burning Sky Realm, personally recognized by the Heavenly Dao. This title wasn't just for show.
And this was something that had happened more than a hundred years ago.
Although Gu Xuan's attainments in Pill Dao weren't as heaven-defying as his attainments in Martial Dao, he was still improving all the time.
Even if Gu Xuan wanted to break through to Pill Saint now, it wasn't completely impossible.
However, this matter was of great importance, and the Burning Sky Realm was in troubled times. He didn't have the time to calm down and seriously enter seclusion.
After all, becoming a Pill Saint wasn't as simple as raising one's Martial Dao. It involved many aspects that needed to be prepared in advance.
Moreover, it would take a lot of time. If it was fast, it would take three to five months. If it was slow, who knew how long it would take?
Even Gu Xuan didn't dare to be the slightest bit careless.
The Pill Dao was comprehending by analogy.
Although Gu Xuan was a living Pill Emperor, the three thousand Great Daos all led to the same destination. Living Pill Masters were Pill Masters, and Undead Pill Masters were also Pill Masters.
With a single glance, Gu Xuan already knew what Pill Emperor Wu Zun was planning to do.
The old man was in a state of near death, more dead than alive. This meant that the energy in his body that maintained the circulation of life had already entered a stagnant state.
Undead were actually a type of living being. However, they were the opposite of living beings in the conventional sense. They had all sorts of signs and forms of life.
The vitality that maintained a living person's life came from Life Qi.
The vitality that maintained an undead's life came from Death Qi.
Pill Emperor Wu Zun was planning to use hundreds of golden needles to pierce hundreds of acupoints in the old man's body to create 'vitality' for him.
Simply put, Pill Emperor Wu Zun was planning to activate the Death Qi in the old man's body and make it circulate, awakening him from his near-death state.
This was a good idea.
Unfortunately, Pill Emperor Wu Zun was too naive.
The old man's body was currently incomplete.
Once the Death Qi in his body circulated, it would be expelled from the body through the incomplete parts.
Once the Death Qi in the old man's body dropped to a critical point, he would begin to transform from a near-death state to a true death state.
His body would also rapidly begin to dissolve.
When his body dissolved to a certain extent, even a god wouldn't be able to save him.
Of course, as an Alchemy Emperor, Wu Fen should be able to think of this point.
He would also prevent this from happening.
But that was where the problem lay.
"Based on Alchemy Emperor Wu Zun's proficiency in using golden needles, he should only be at the bottom of the Alchemy Emperors.
How could he possibly heal the injuries caused by the black contract spirit?
Most likely, he hadn't even noticed the energy that the black contract spirit had left in the old man's body.
The black contract spirit's energy and the old man's energy are now in a delicate balance, but once the old man wakes up, the balance will be broken, and the black contract spirit's energy will attack again! "
Gu Xuan sighed in his heart.
Right now, he couldn't convince the old woman to let him take over.
"Never mind. Let's see how capable this Pill Emperor Wu Zun is."
Gu Xuan clasped his hands behind his back and watched quietly.
This was the first time he had seen an Undead Pill Emperor. It was good to observe carefully as there would be some gains.
"Activate!"
Pill Emperor Wu Zun formed a seal with his hands and suddenly shouted! Buzz buzz buzz.
The golden needles on the old man's body began to vibrate and hum.
Waves of Death Qi surged out of the golden needles, pushing the energy in the old man's body to circulate.
Very soon, waves of weak Death Qi emerged from the old man's wounds like black smoke.
The old man had lost an arm and a leg, and there was a large hole in his chest. Therefore, even though the black smoke was weak, it was still visible to the naked eye.
"Ah!" the old woman exclaimed.
"The Death Qi in the old man's body is dissipating!"
Pill Emperor Wu Zun smiled confidently.
"Don't worry, I've already made preparations! I just need to suppress these injuries first.
Once I save the old man, he'll be able to recover from his injuries with his own strength. "
"I see. Then I'm relieved."
The old woman patted her chest with a look of relief.
"Young man, did you see my technique clearly just now?
It's fine if you didn't see it clearly. Remember as much as you can and ponder over it later. It'll be of great benefit to you. "
Pill Emperor Wu Zun confidently glanced at him, and with the attitude of a senior teaching a junior, he earnestly instructed.
Gu Xuan only smiled faintly.
"It's really an eye-opener."
Pill Emperor Wu Zun was even more pleased with Gu Xuan's' praise '.
With a shake of his right hand, more than a dozen golden needles flew out and pierced into the old man's broken arm, broken leg, and chest wounds, sealing off the meridians in these places.
The effect was immediate. The Death Qi that was slowly spewing out from the old man's wounds immediately disappeared.
"Open your eyes and watch carefully. The most crucial moment is coming!"
Pill Emperor Wu Zun said solemnly.
"The Death Qi in the old man's body has already started to circulate normally. Now, he can be said to have escaped from the state of near death and entered a state of balance between life and death.
I only need to use my soul power to lightly stimulate his soul, and he'll immediately wake up! "
The old woman was overjoyed.
Big Stone, however, curled his lips. Boss can also do this kind of thing, and he'll definitely do it better. What's there to brag about?
Pill Emperor Wu Zun muttered something, and a wisp of soul power flowed into the old man's forehead like a trickle, pushing the old man's soul.
The effect was immediate.
The old man's eyes immediately opened.
"Where am I?
Didn't I die?
When a living person dies, they can enter the netherworld and become an undead.
When an undead dies, shouldn't they dissipate?
Why am I still conscious? "
The old woman threw herself on the ground in joy.
"Great! Old man, you're alive!
You're not dead! You're not dead! "
Pill Emperor Wu Zun laughed loudly.
"It's a success! Little brother, with this pill emperor here, how can it be so easy for you to die? "
The old man's pupils shrank when he saw Pill Emperor Wu Zun, and he immediately sat up.
"It's over. Old man, you've never been reliable.
Last time, you said you wanted to become a pill saint, but you went into seclusion for a year. Not only did you not become a pill saint, but your cauldron also exploded, causing you to be half-dead.
You saved me, but why do I feel like I'm closer to death … " The old man lay down again.
The golden needles on his body turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then turned into powder.
Especially the dozens of silver needles used to seal the wound. With a bang, they exploded into fine powder.
The old man's already big wounds became even bigger.
Waves of death aura continuously gushed out from the old man's body.
Fine powder-like particles kept floating out of his body.
These were the signs that the old man's body was dissolving.
At this rate, the old man would completely disappear from this world in less than an hour.
Pill Emperor Wu Zun's expression changed greatly.
"How is this possible?
How could my golden needles not be able to suppress his injuries?
The death aura in his body seems to have a very strange energy remaining. It actually corroded my golden needles.
Moreover, this kind of energy, along with the circulation of the energy in the old man's body, was running amok in his body and attacking.
What should I do now?
What should I do? "
Pill Emperor Wu Zun was panicking.
The old woman was also anxious and started crying.
"You're a pill emperor. Quickly think of a way! The old man can't die. Even if he dies, you have to help me preserve his corpse! I don't want the old man to die without a corpse. Pill Emperor Wu Zun, quickly do something! "
Pill Emperor Wu Zun's face was filled with despair.
"There's no other way. Even if a pill saint comes, I'm afraid he won't be able to save him.
I've let you down. I've let the old man down. I'll do my best to preserve his corpse.
I … "" You, just get out of my way. "
Gu Xuan stretched out his right hand, grabbed Pill Emperor Wu Zun's neck, and threw him several meters away.
In the end, he still had to do it himself! "There's no need for a pill saint to save the old man.
It's enough for me to do it! "
