Step by Step Ascend to Immortality

Chapter 86: Chapter 76: Golden Spirit Replenishes Qi

Liu Suiyun had never expected that Xu Zhaori could reach this stage so quickly. At present, Xu Zhaori at least has a level close to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

When did he achieve such a breakthrough?

He looked up and glanced at Guo Huijun, but unexpectedly, Guo Huijun was also looking at him curiously. Both of them had the same question!

Xu Zhaori in the fierce battle is definitely as fast as a startling lightning. His speed has reached an astonishing limit. Liu Suiyun feels that he can't catch up. Moreover, the Taoist methods and skills he exerts seem to be completely different from before.

Now, Xu Zhaori is exerting a set of gentle and feminine skills. It can even be said that it is extremely insidious. If one is not careful, one will be hit. Not to mention that when he attacks, there are also countless falling flowers. Somehow, there are constantly falling petals beside him, seemingly endless.

The two sides are engaged in a one-on-one battle, and it turns out to be a draw. Liu Suiyun takes a look at this pure-colored glazed glass. It is truly a top-grade item. However, its thickness is at least three to five zhang thick. He can only take out the Heavenly Tear Starfall Sword and is about to exert an extremely powerful Taoist method to blast it open.

Over there, Guo Huijun suddenly stands up and moves forward. She says to Liu Suiyun, "Let's go. We need to speed up. It's still in time!"

Liu Suiyun asks curiously, "Isn't Zhaori fighting desperately under us? Don't we dig open this glazed platform?"

"We can't dig it open!" Guo Huijun, holding a sword and shield, replies, "We have tried it long ago!"

"Although this looks like ordinary crystal, it is extremely hard. It is dozens of times harder than ordinary steel. When I swing my big sword, I can barely leave a mark on it. Moreover, this glazed glass is very strange. When we look at the situation on the fourth floor from here, everything is clearly visible. But when looking up from the fourth floor, it is all dark..."

"Surely it's the style of Bei Aotian!"

Liu Suiyun can only utter such words. This True Lord Beihe is really too extravagant. If such pure-colored glazed glass is taken to the market, one doesn't know how many spirit stones it can be exchanged for. He actually uses it for burial. I'm afraid ordinary Golden Core cultivators don't have such a style. Only true Nascent Soul cultivators would do this.

"Let's hurry up!"

Although Guo Huijun is urging him, now that she is wearing spiritual armor, her speed is still restricted to a certain extent. Liu Suiyun can only persuade her, "Don't be anxious. It should still be in time. Didn't you see that the battle below has ended in a draw!"

"The problem is that the opponents are demonic cultivators of the Supreme Demon Sect."

Supreme Demon Sect?

Liu Suiyun is still not very familiar with this sect. The only contact with them was a brief encounter outside Yanzhi Mountain. As a result, the cultivator of the Supreme Demon Sect attracted countless strange beasts.

"Supreme Demon Sect? What are they up to?"

"I don't know. I only knew before that they often operate in Tianma Plain, but I didn't have much contact with them. I also didn't expect that they have hidden such strong strength."

Neither Liu Suiyun nor Guo Huijun had expected that there would be one or even more Foundation Establishment cultivators among the cultivators of the Supreme Demon Sect in Tianma Plain. In their previous impression, there were at most only some Qi Refining cultivators. But now the Supreme Demon Sect has shown its true strength, which has surprised both of them.

"Could it be because of that Supreme Secret Canon?"

The Supreme Secret Canon, which ranks third in the Celestial Realm, has a very deep relationship with the Supreme Demon Sect. It is indeed the target that the Supreme Demon Sect is spying on. But Liu Suiyun has a different idea: "This is two different things, right? The Supreme Secret Canon of the Taibai Sword Sect and the Supreme Secret Canon obtained by True Lord Beihe are completely two different books."

Not to mention that True Lord Beihe only obtained several volumes of the fragmented copy of the Supreme Secret Canon, while the Taibai Sword Sect has a full ninety-one volumes. Moreover, the reason why the Supreme Secret Canon can become the second Taoist book in the Celestial Realm lies in the fact that although Mo Yixuan is a genius, he spent over a hundred years on this Supreme Secret Canon. He corroborated this Taoist book with what he had learned and also referred to many extremely precious Taoist books. Only then did he finally have the complete ninety-one volumes of the Taibai Sword Sect.

"What True Lord Beihe obtained is probably just a fragmented book that is extremely difficult to penetrate deeply. There is neither collation nor annotation nor correction. You should know that with or without collation and annotation, the value of a Taoist book will be vastly different. Just like Pei Songzhi's annotation of "Records of the Three Kingdoms", which has a great achievement that lasts through the ages. The achievement of annotation is even greater than that of the original work. And if "Records of the Historian" has no three annotations, I'm afraid its value would be almost non-existent..."

When Liu Suiyun talks about these anecdotes, the atmosphere finally becomes relaxed. And he lowers his voice and says, "I have a feeling, an absolutely correct feeling..."

"I want Miss Guo to believe me. The spiritual plant volume of the Supreme Secret Canon is not in this Beihe Mausoleum?"

Guo Huijun smiles: "If it's not in the Beihe Mausoleum, is it on you? I don't care about this Supreme Secret Canon anymore. All I need is just an answer."

Liu Suiyun blurts out: "Sometimes, an answer can't solve the problem!"

"Do you mean to implant the Five Peaks Talisman into my body now? I won't do that!" Guo Huijun, still holding a sword and shield, walks at the front: "Because I must find the answer and then solve the problem."

"Believe me, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, one can cut a way with a sword!"

This is definitely an answer with Guo Huijun's style. Liu Suiyun sighs and still chases after her.

But soon, he focuses his attention on the Five Peaks Talisman in his body. For some reason, this Five Peaks Talisman seems to be in danger of getting out of control.

Perhaps because it is temporarily stored in Liu Suiyun's body. Now the speed at which the Five Peaks Talisman devours the essence of qi and blood in Liu Suiyun's body is getting faster and faster. And if this speed continues, it seems that it won't be long before the essence of qi and blood that Liu Suiyun originally prepared for advancing to the seventh level of Qi Refining will be completely devoured by this Five Peaks Talisman.

But Liu Suiyun has no way to control this Five Peaks Talisman to stop operating. You should know that before this, he had never heard of the name of the Five Peaks Talisman. How could he have a way to control the Five Peaks Talisman? "If this continues, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator won't be able to fill this black hole!"

However, this Five Peaks Talisman is not just taking in without giving out. It cooperates perfectly with the extremely rapid "Extreme Yuan Thunder Forging Divine Record" that Liu Suiyun is currently cultivating. In the past, although the "Extreme Yuan Thunder Forging Divine Record" had a miraculous effect of rapid progress, because the essence of qi and blood obtained by slaying was extremely mixed, it often left many hidden troubles, even affecting future advancements.

The reason why the "Extreme Yuan Thunder Forging Divine Record" is difficult to make progress when reaching the Foundation Establishment stage and Golden Core stage is mostly because there are too many hidden troubles left in the body in the early stage, and it is difficult to make further progress in cultivation. But now the spiritual power transformed by this Five Peaks Talisman is extremely pure and is constantly promoting Liu Suiyun's cultivation progress bit by bit.

If it continues to operate like this, perhaps with the pure internal power transformed by this Five Peaks Talisman, it will be enough for Liu Suiyun to advance to the seventh level of Qi Refining. But the key problem is that the speed of devouring is increasing too fast, right?

Liu Suiyun feels that before he advances to the seventh level of Qi Refining, perhaps this Five Peaks Talisman will devour all the essence of qi and blood in his body. You should know that the essence of qi and blood accumulated by Liu Suiyun is enough for him to advance all the way to the peak of the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Thinking of this problem, Liu Suiyun can only consult Guo Huijun who knows the inside story quite well. But the answer given by Guo Huijun is very disappointing: "The Five Peaks Talisman does have such a miraculous effect. If it is not restrained, this Five Peaks Talisman will continuously devour spiritual power endlessly until it devours every bit of spiritual power. It's just that there is a skill for controlling the Five Peaks Talisman in Zhaori's ancestral heritage..."

"This skill can not only greatly reduce the spiritual power absorbed by the Five Peaks Talisman, but also as long as this skill is operated, the Five Peaks Talisman will start devouring spiritual power from zero again. But this is the ancestral secret of their Xu family. I have never seen it, and Zhaori has never been willing to mention it."

What should we do?

As soon as Liu Suiyun thought of this problem, Guo Huijun over there had already said in a doubtful tone, "You aren't using this excuse to deceive me and let you implant the Five Peaks Talisman into my body, are you?"

As soon as Liu Suiyun wanted to deny it, Guo Huijun over there had already let out a laugh: "Yayaya... If you really can't hold on, I can consider the feasibility."

What feasibility? Naturally, it is the matter of Liu Suiyun helping her implant the Five Peaks Talisman into her body. Of course, some words can't be made too obvious. And Guo Huijun has her own thoughts: "But this won't help solve the problem. Even if you implant the Five Peaks Talisman into my body, I will still look for the answer and then solve the problem!"

Liu Suiyun has a feeling that perhaps if he does this, he will be excluded from the option of finally solving the problem?

Such a tough girl, who wouldn't be moved? Even though he is a married man, Liu Suiyun resists the temptation in his heart and considers more feasible solutions.

Without the secret skill passed down by the Xu family, the essence of qi and blood devoured by the Five Peaks Talisman is like a clay ox entering the sea. It is becoming more and more astonishing, and the speed of devouring is constantly accelerating. Of course, afterwards, a lot of extremely pure but powerless spiritual power is transformed from the Five Peaks Talisman and is constantly operating in Liu Suiyun's body, making his cultivation level continuously improve.

But the problem is that if this continues, I'm afraid that the essence of qi and blood accumulated by Liu Suiyun will be completely devoured. Then it will be the turn of the essence blood and spiritual power carefully cultivated by Liu Suiyun. This is the foundation of Liu Suiyun's combat power!

Therefore, after a little thought, Liu Suiyun took out a small bottle from his waist pouch. There were six or seven red spirit pills inside. These were the "Golden Spirit Qi-Boosting Pills" left over when Liu Suiyun was trying to break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining in Jiazhou Market.

Although this medicine is called "Golden Spirit Qi-Boosting Pill", its medicinal power is astonishing and the price is extremely reasonable. That's why senior Qi Refining cultivators like Wang Qinian specially recommended it to Liu Suiyun to help him break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining at one stroke. You should know that before this, this was only a secret within their small circle.

However, while the medicinal power is astonishing, this "Nourishing Essence and Boosting Qi Pill" not only has unusual drug resistance, but also the residual medicinal power in the body after taking it has a powerful continuous effect. If it is not handled properly, it will affect the cultivator's next step of progress. One can only take one pill at least every three days. Liu Suiyun spent a full four days to dissolve the medicinal power of one "Golden Spirit Qi-Boosting Pill".

And now Liu Suiyun can only treat a dead horse as if it were alive.
