CHAPTER 67
Mottled Power of Fire
Gu Xuan came to the Beichen Trading Company this time purely to sell a few medicinal pills that he refined in exchange for some spirit crystals to break through.
Although the peak of the Spirit Rank was considered half a step into the Profound Rank, the difficulty of taking this half step was not small. Ordinary warriors would not even be able to take this half step in their lifetime.
Just like Su Huatian, he reached the peak of the Spirit Stage at the age of 15, but only officially stepped into the Profound Stage at the age of 18.
In other words, Su Huatian, a person with extraordinary talent, used an entire three years to cross this bottleneck.
Of course, there were also people with outstanding talents, such as Gu Xuan's traitorous disciple, Gu Xingyun. He only used one and a half months to break through to the Black Rank Realm. The faster the breakthrough, the stronger the talent.
Gu Xuan executed his movement technique and quickly arrived at the back mountain. He placed a bag of Spirit Crystals in front of him.
"Yunxi, help me refine these Spirit Crystals. I have too many Chakras, and it is difficult for me to make a breakthrough. It is too slow for me to absorb them by myself." Gu Xuan shook his finger and summoned the Icy Soul Cold Flame out of his body.
"You want to break through by refining the Spirit Crystals?" There was a hint of surprise in Yun Xi's voice. "Breaking through using spiritual crystals is indeed fast, but it will definitely damage your foundation. Gu Xuan, your talent is not low. Why do you want to ruin your own future?"
Gu Xuan smiled, "Don't worry, I understand. But my chakras are complete, and my foundation is very solid. I feel that even if I refine the spiritual crystal, it won't have much effect."
"Really?" Yun Xi's voice sounded a little doubtful.
"Go ahead and refine it. I know my body better than you do." Gu Xuan shrugged.
"Then … alright." Yun Xi was skeptical, but she didn't refuse. She didn't know why, but she always lost the ability to resist Gu Xuan's requests.
Gu Xuan took out a piece of Spiritual Crystal from his bag, and Yun Xi wrapped it up with her body. Under the power of the Heavenly Fire, the Spiritual Crystal's Spiritual Qi was quickly evaporated, turning into wisps of fiery red air that poured into Gu Xuan's body.
"Hiss!"
This Yuan Qi was boiling hot. The moment it entered his body, Gu Xuan could not help but gasp.
Gu Xuan immediately calmed his mind and controlled the Essence to circulate in his body. After two cycles, the fiery Essence turned into mottled flame energy and entered Gu Xuan's dantian.
"Gu Xuan, I can feel that although your flame energy has soared, it is showing signs of becoming impure. Are you sure you want to continue?" Yun Xi asked Gu Xuan after slowing down her refinement.
"Continue!" Gu Xuan didn't hesitate at all. Yun Xi didn't even notice that although the flame energy had turned mottled, the corners of Gu Xuan's mouth actually curled up into a smile.
His smile was filled with pride, as if he had discovered some kind of treasure.
Yun Xi continued to help Gu Xuan refine. The mottled flame energy in Gu Xuan's body gradually increased. Originally, it had only affected a small area, but as he continued to refine it, the impurities also increased.
The elixirs that Gu Xuan refined earned him more than 200 Spiritual Crystals. Under his request, Yun Xi used three days to refine all of them.
At this moment, the flame energy in Gu Xuan's body had doubled. However, the bone-white flame energy that was originally the same color as the Icy Soul Cold Flame had now turned into a mixture of red and white. It seemed to be extremely mottled.
Gu Xuan stood up and threw out a punch. A cauldron-sized fist force burst out of his body and blasted a hole in the ground.
"Gu Xuan, you!" Yun Xi sensed the situation of the flame energy in Gu Xuan's body and suddenly became angry. "Why has your flame energy become so mottled? Who told you to be so eager for quick success? Look at you now. Quickly disperse and re-cultivate. Otherwise, your flame energy will go out of control sooner or later and hurt yourself!"
Gu Xuan glanced at Yun Xi, who was anxiously pacing around him. A smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. He poured the power of fire into his fingers. Through the acupuncture points in his fingers, streams of sharp finger energy shot out.
The seemingly chaotic finger force violently bombarded the mountain wall in the distance. As the finger force exploded, rocks flew everywhere.
Yun Xi was just about to help Gu Xuan control the "chaotic" flame energy when she realized that after Gu Xuan's finger force shot out the mountain wall, it formed the two clear words "Yun Xi".
The words were very delicate, as if they were the work of a calligraphy master. And these two words were formed by the finger force that Gu Xuan had shot out casually? How strong was his control?
"Although the flame energy is mottled, for someone like me who has this kind of control, there is no harm at all. Even the purest flame energy may not be able to reach my level of control, right?" Gu Xuan looked at Yun Xi and said with a faint smile.
"This … how did you do it?" Yun Xi was also quite shocked and asked hesitantly.
"If you fulfill the promise that you made when I was in a deep sleep, I can tell you," Gu Xuan said playfully.
"Go to hell!" Yun Xi scolded angrily. However, looking at the two words that Gu Xuan had carved on the stone wall, she could not help but feel moved. Although Gu Xuan had done it casually, he had carved her name after all.
However, this Gu Xuan was not the Elixir Emperor. Why would she have such a feeling?
…
After that, Gu Xuan's cultivation life became boring and monotonous.
Lacking Spiritual Crystals, he could only rely on refining pills to obtain them, and refining pills was an extremely time-consuming process.
As for the training field, Gu Xuan had also tried it once. Although he was only 16 years old, Gu Xuan still failed. He felt that he had already surpassed Willow Deity's results by a lot, but compared to Zhou Juechu, he was still far away.
After all, Gu Xuan had only been cultivating for half a year, so he did not care about this situation. However, the possibility of entering the blood pool again was close to zero.
As for the Ghost Elder, the latter was still working hard to refine the Restriction Breaking Pill. Gu Xuan did not want to disturb him, so he could only waste time doing it himself.
During this period of time, the Gu family was extraordinarily lively. With the aid of the Beichen Trading Company of a million gold coins, the Gu family also wantonly bought properties. The families that had originally bought the Gu family's properties were now even willing to return them at the original price. This made Gu Tianmo very happy.
Although these properties were not big, they had been in business for dozens of years. The Gu family was incomparably familiar with these properties. Now that they had enough funds, they could quickly expand. This was much better than buying new properties and familiarizing themselves with them.
After Gu Xuan calmly refined for ten days, he was called by Gu Tianmo to teach the younger generation of the Gu family.
The Gu family was currently lacking in manpower. Gu Tianmo also paid attention to the cultivation of the younger generation of the Gu family, so he also pulled Gu Xuan to be a coolie.
Some of the younger generation of the Gu family who came to learn were even a few years older than Gu Xuan. However, when they sat below, their faces were filled with respect, and even a little fanaticism.
Gu Xuan's astonishing performance had already caused people to automatically ignore his age. They saw him as an existence that surpassed the family head and grand elders.
Gu Xuan's gaze glanced to the back. He discovered that other than the younger generation of the Gu family, Qin Song and Qin Zhan were also there. He could not help but be stunned. However, the two of them did not seem to have any enmity. They simply sat there.
