Chapter 131: Refining the Qi (Part 3)

Time passed by minute by minute, but it seemed to be particularly long.

Fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on Gu Shihan and Yutong's foreheads. These beads of sweat slid down their cheeks and evaporated into water vapor before they could drip.

The two of them consumed a huge amount of spiritual energy, and their bodies began to be unable to bear it. Their spiritual energy became weak and unstable, and their heads felt like they were being hit by a sledgehammer, and they began to throb with pain.

Shi Qinghan and Long Teng, who had been paying close attention to the situation, saw this and used their fire powers without hesitation.

In an instant, two beams of blazing flames quickly covered that spot, taking over from Gu Shihan and Yu Tong to continue burning that small spot.

Gu Shihan and Yutong took the opportunity to withdraw their flames and dragged their tired bodies to the side.

Without any delay, they took out the pills and put them into their mouths, then sat cross-legged, closed their eyes, entered a meditative state, and concentrated on meditating to restore their lost spiritual power.

During this repetitive cycle, the corpse, which had originally grown twice as large, underwent an astonishing change. It expanded rapidly, and in the blink of an eye it had become as huge as a small mountain!

The huge body lay there, stretching and undulating, and it was roughly estimated to be four or five meters long.

The situation is becoming increasingly urgent. Every minute and every second seems so precious. If we cannot find a breakthrough point on the periphery as soon as possible, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Gu Shihan was extremely anxious, with beads of sweat rolling down her forehead. She pushed the Red Lotus Fire to its extreme, and the surging flames continuously flowed towards the strange mark, as if she wanted to burn away all obstacles with endless fire.

Shi Qinghan took a short rest on the side. After a brief thought, he took out a jar of spirit wine from his storage ring, slapped the mud seal hard, and the clear aroma of wine filled the air.

He slowly walked to a distance of a hundred steps from the corpse, bowed respectfully to it, and said slowly: "Senior, you have been made into a puppet, I think your heart must be filled with pain and resentment.

If you still have a trace of spirit left in you, you would definitely not want to see your body being used wantonly by others to commit evil, right? Senior, please rest assured, we will help you escape from this miserable situation, and I hope you can cooperate a little. "

After saying this, Shi Qinghan sprinkled the wine in the jar in a circle on the ground as a tribute to this predecessor.

When Gu Shihan heard Shi Qinghan's words, his heart trembled slightly. The red lotus fire in his hand did not stop, but burned even more fiercely.

Not only that, she began to chant the Soul Purifying Mantra in a low voice. The clear and melodious sound of the mantra echoed in the air, as if it contained some kind of magical power, trying to awaken the soul sleeping in the corpse...

In fact, he is just a flesh-and-blood puppet without a soul. Everything he does is in accordance with his master's wishes. Logically, any mistakes he makes should be blamed on his master.

He was soulless and did not need to be liberated, but practicing Buddhism was not easy. It was sad, lamentable and pitiful for a great immortal to end up in such a miserable way.

Shi Qinghan also chanted the "Soul Purification Mantra" in unison.

After three times, the two looked at each other and shouted at the same time: "Senior! Have a safe journey! If you know about this in the afterlife, please help us destroy this evil thing!"

Just as they finished speaking, something strange happened! The corpse that was lying quietly on the ground suddenly glowed with spiritual light. The Yang Qi shield flashed like lightning for a few times, and then there was a crisp sound of "hissing". A small hole was torn open where the gunpowder was supposed to burn.

Then, wisps of extremely pure yang energy slowly drifted out from the small hole like smoke.

Seeing this, Yu Tong, Long Teng, Xiao Hei and Xing Bai on the side reacted very quickly. They quickly took out the jade boxes they had prepared and began to collect these extremely precious Yang Qi with skillful movements.

They are animals and do not need this extremely yang energy, but Gu Shihan and Shi Qinghan can refine it to strengthen their muscles and bones and strengthen their bodies.

Xing Bai, who had been watching the situation develop, shouted to Gu Shihan: "Hanhan, it's enough! Quickly use the Red Lotus Karma Fire to burn this corpse to ashes!"

After receiving the order, Gu Shihan did not dare to delay and immediately activated the spiritual power in her body. She formed seals with her hands, and in an instant, a blazing red lotus fire gushed out from her palms.

The flame was like a fire dragon, rushing in through the broken hole in the Qi shield with its fangs and claws, and instantly completely enveloped the entire corpse.

Time passed minute by minute, and after a full hundred breaths, the red lotus fire gradually dimmed until it was completely extinguished.

Looking at the place where the body was, it was empty, not even a trace of residue was left.

At the same time, Gu Shihan only felt that a dazzling golden light suddenly burst out from his dantian. The light was dazzling, as if it contained endless power. Upon closer inspection, it was actually an extremely huge merit.

Before Gu Shihan could recover from his surprise, Shi Qinghan beside him also had a look of confusion on his face.

It turned out that not only Gu Shihan gained this merit, but also Shi Qinghan's body was gently brushed by the golden light.

What was even more surprising was that the four beasts, Yutong, Longteng, Xingbai and Xiaohei, not far away, also had a faint golden light shining on their bodies, obviously they were also benefited by this merit.

"Oh no, I'm going to advance!" Shi Qinghan's face suddenly changed and he couldn't help but shout out loud.

I saw the spiritual energy around him fluctuating violently, as if it was about to break free from its restraints in the next moment.

"Me too!" Gu Shihan on the side also felt the surging spiritual power in his body.

She suppressed the power by force, turned to look at Xingbai and said: "Xingbai, please protect us, brother, I think it would be safer for us to advance into the space."

Xingbai nodded, patted his chest vigorously with his little paws and assured: "No problem, you can go ahead and break through without worry, I'll be here to guard, and no one will notice that you suddenly disappeared!"

After getting Xingbai's promise, Gu Shihan and Shi Qinghan did not hesitate any longer. They flashed into their own spaces.

After Gu Shihan stepped into the space, he walked straight to the spiritual spring, sat down and began to meditate.

Time passed minute by minute, and in less than half an hour, her aura suddenly increased, and she successfully advanced to the middle seventh level of the Golden Core.

Feeling the powerful spiritual power flowing in her body, Gu Shihan couldn't help but think to herself that if she hadn't been deliberately suppressing her spiritual power before, maybe she could continue to advance at this moment.

However, she also understood that she had just advanced to the sixth level of the Golden Core not long ago. If she allowed her cultivation to increase rapidly without consolidating the foundation, it would probably leave hidden dangers in the future.
