After that, Murong Jin took Gu Qingze to many places in succession. He did keep his promise and reminded him every time when there was danger.
However... it was not very useful, because his so-called "advance" warning was not given for long "in advance". He usually spoke only after Gu Qingze had basically sensed the "danger".
...Gu Qingze later understood why Murong Jin wanted to take the magic sword in the first place, because most of the mechanisms in this palace were controlled by this magic sword, and those mechanisms seemed to have intelligence. They turned a blind eye to Murong Jin, the owner of the magic sword, but launched a ruthless attack on Gu Qingze.
As time went by, Gu Qingze's footsteps did not stop. He didn't know how long he had been walking, but the scars on his body became more and more. The blood oozing from the wounds was like a trickle, falling drop by drop on the cold ground, drawing a series of shocking tracks.
However, at this moment, the pain seemed to have become a distant feeling for Gu Qingze. His body and mind had reached a state of near numbness. He continued to follow Murong Jin's footsteps only with his tenacious will.
Seeing this, Murong Jin couldn't help but feel a little bit of pity. He stopped, tilted his head slightly, and whispered to Gu Qingze, "How about... you try drinking a bottle of recovery potion to recover a bit before continuing on?"
Hearing this, Gu Qingze shook his head slightly, his eyes revealing determination: "No need. Frequent use of medicine will cause drug resistance. Besides...don't look at me now. These are just superficial injuries. They won't affect my movements."
Seeing his miserable state, Murong Jin couldn't help but remind him: "How about...drink a bottle of recovery potion and then continue?"
"Well, just keep it in mind."
Murong Jin nodded and said no more. The two of them set off again, Murong Jin in front, Gu Qingze following closely behind, their figures stretching out in the dim palace...
..........
In this way, Gu Qingze passed one trial after another. He didn't know how many more were ahead, but he no longer cared.
However... there were still gains. He found that every time he passed a trial, there would be some feedback on his cultivation. Although it didn't seem like much, compared to the cultivation, it was already very good.
...accumulated over the long term...will be extremely considerable.
And...the reason why he didn't use the recovery potion, besides because of his drug resistance, was because he was surprised to find that his injuries were miraculously healing bit by bit.
Although the recovery speed was very slow, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, that subtle but continuous life force was quietly surging in his body, repairing the damaged skin and bones.
This feeling was both strange and familiar, so Gu Qingze decided to leave the wound alone and see to what extent it could help him recover.
At this moment, they came to a stone bridge. The other side of the bridge was dark, like an endless abyss.
Murong Jin stood at the end of the bridge, looked back at Gu Qingze, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
He took a deep breath and slowly stepped onto the stone bridge.
Gu Qingze followed without hesitation. Although his steps were a little heavy, his eyes remained firm.
When they reached the middle of the stone bridge, a strong wind suddenly blew up, mixed with the sharp sword energy.
Murong Jin instantly drew his sword and blocked the incoming sword energy: "The danger will be doubled from now on, you...try to be careful."
Murong Jin said in a low voice, Gu Qingze nodded, he tightened his grip on the sword, and suddenly countless black monsters emerged from under the bridge, pouncing towards them with their fangs and claws, to be exact, towards Gu Qingze.
Gu Qingze's swordsmanship was sharp, and he killed the approaching monsters one by one. However, the monsters were numerous and kept coming.
This is strange... The previous mechanism is fine, but why did this monster only attack him and not Murong Jin...
Murong Jin obviously had no intention of helping. He just watched the fun from the side and said hypocritically, "Come on."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingze didn't intend to pay any attention to him. He just kept repeating the slashing movements, waving the sword in his hand, and dispelling the monsters that were gradually surrounding him.
He walked forward, waving his hands, and every step was extremely difficult.
Seeing that he had been waiting for quite some time and hadn't moved very far, Murong Jin said sarcastically, "Hey, are you able to do this? Speed up! I'm almost falling asleep waiting here."
Gu Qingze originally didn't want to bother with him so much, but he heard his sarcasm and his gloating look.
Finally, he couldn't stand it any longer and said, "You're just a typical idiot. The monsters won't bother you... and there are so many of them, it's impossible to destroy them all. It's already a great achievement for me to get here."
Murong Jin heard this, as if he had heard something funny, and a scornful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The reason why the monsters can't be eliminated and keep attacking you is simply because you haven't found the right way to deal with it..."
"Are all sword cultivators like you, rigid and inflexible, unable to adapt, or are you one of those rare 'outliers'?"
Haven't found the right solution...
Gu Qingze selectively ignored the sarcasm in Murong Jin's words. While he continued to swing his sword to fight against the monsters that were approaching like a torrent, he carefully pondered the deep meaning of Murong Jin's words in his heart.
