Chapter 190: The First Mortal World
Seeing this, Gu Shihan also tried to chop another branch, but the result was the same.
She gritted her teeth and said a little frustratedly: "It seems that Xingbai is right. We are indeed very weak here."
Duan Siqi said with a bitter face, "What should we do? How can we survive? We also need to find Nangong Yi and the others. We don't know how they are doing."
Gu Shihan pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry about anything else, let's find a safe place to stay first."
Xingbai jumped to the ground, sensed something, and took the initiative to lead the way. After all, it was a spiritual pet and was more sensitive to scents.
After walking for a long time, they saw a dilapidated hut in a valley.
As he approached, an old voice came from inside the house: "Outsider, come in."
The two men and the fox entered the house and saw a white-haired old man sitting on a futon.
The old man looked at them and said slowly, "You shouldn't be here. You must have been accidentally caught in the space turbulence and ended up here. This is the mortal world of the first level of the fairy world. Hey, you have the light of the technique on your body. What did you do?"
Gu Shihan hurriedly asked: "Senior, do you have any way for us to return to our original place or improve our strength?"
The old man smiled and said, "It's difficult to go back, but it's not impossible to improve your strength, as long as you can withstand the training."
Duan Siqi said without hesitation: "We will try no matter what."
The old man nodded with satisfaction, his eyes full of meaning, and pointed to a mountain in the distance and said, "Do you see that mountain? There is an abandoned fairy pond there. You can go up there and practice in the pond water for ten to thirty days to convert the spiritual power in your body into fairy power. Then you can practice."
The two looked at each other, their eyes full of determination. Gu Shihan spoke first: "Thank you for your guidance, senior. We will go there immediately."
The three of them walked towards the mountain the old man pointed out. The mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk on, and some small fairy beasts appeared around from time to time, but they only wanted to reach the Fairy Pond as soon as possible and did not pay much attention to them.
Ten days later, the two men and the fox arrived at the Fairy Pond at the top of the mountain.
There is not much water in this fairy pond, less than three inches deep. It looks calm and clear, exuding pure power.
Xing Bai reminded from the side: "Although this pool of water is helpful for cultivation, the power contained in it is too overbearing. You must be careful, absorb a little, and transform a little. Yutong and the others can also come out to cultivate, they also need to transform."
"Okay!" Gu Shihan waved his hand, and Yutong and Xiaohei left the space, revealed their true forms in a corner of the pool, and lay down.
Duan Siqi also took her contracted beast, the golden-winged Roc, out of the spirit beast bracelet.
Gu Shihan took a deep breath and stepped into the pool. In an instant, a sharp pain spread throughout her body, but she clenched her teeth.
Seeing this, Duan Siqi and Xing Bai also jumped into the pool. The immortal power entered their bodies, forcing the spiritual power out inch by inch. The pain was caused by the rejection of the immortal energy entering their bodies.
As time passed, the two men and four beasts endured tremendous pain in the pool. No one cried out in pain, and they just held on.
After the twentieth day, Duan Siqi's body suddenly glowed brightly, and she successfully converted the spiritual power in her body into immortal power.
Another three days passed, and the transformation of Gu Shihan's spiritual power was completed.
"Shi Han, why did your cultivation level drop? You are only at the seventh level of Golden Core. No, mine has also dropped. I am only at the sixth level of Golden Core. How could this be?" Duan Siqi couldn't accept it and kept chattering.
"Siqi, you didn't feel your cultivation level drop, but has your body's toughness increased? Let's continue to practice here for a while, and we'll improve as much as we can.
I heard from Xing Bai that there are many people in the fairy world who have good qualifications and have been cultivated since birth. Our current cultivation is too weak, and it is difficult to save our lives. "Gu Shihan thought for a while and said.
"Aren't we going to look for someone?" Duan Siqi asked.
"We must find the person, but are we too weak to go find him?" Gu Shihan said with a sigh.
After listening to Gu Shihan's words, Duan Siqi nodded silently, and the two of them continued to practice in the pool with peace of mind.
More than half a month passed, and although their cultivation had improved, it was still not very high.
One day, when they were concentrating on their training, the surrounding pool water suddenly began to churn violently.
Then, a dazzling golden light shot out from the bottom of the pool, accompanied by a melodious fairy music.
The two were stunned as they saw an old man living in a valley slowly emerging from the golden light.
"You youngsters, you actually have such perseverance to practice here. I am the guardian immortal of this place. I will give you an opportunity! Take care of yourself!"
The old man raised his hand gently, and several rays of light shone into the foreheads of the two men.
In an instant, they felt that the bottleneck of their own cultivation had loosened a lot, and their understanding of the immortal law became deeper.
"Thank you for your help, senior." Gu Shihan and Duan Siqi bowed respectfully.
The old man smiled and nodded, then disappeared. After this incident, Gu Shihan and the others gained confidence and decided to continue practicing hard and look for people when they were strong enough.
"Shi Han, do we want to stay here and continue practicing? I looked around the area, and only this place has a stronger aura of immortal spirit, other places are not as good as here." Duan Siqi said.
"So we'll stay here for a while.
Gu Shihan looked around and responded, "That's good. This place is relatively safe and conducive to our cultivation."
In the following days, they absorbed the fairy spirit day and night without stopping.
However, the peaceful time of cultivation did not last long. One night, three mysterious men in black quietly approached the place of cultivation.
They exuded evil thoughts and obviously had bad intentions.
Gu Shihan was the first to notice something unusual and whispered to Duan Siqi: "Be careful, something is happening." The two stood up vigilantly.
The leader of the black-robed men sneered, "Do you think this opportunity is so easy to come by? This fairy pond was originally guarded by us in secret, but you took advantage of it. If you don't want to die today, hand over the storage magic weapon on you."
"What a beautiful young lady. Big brother, let's take them back. They are just two little golden elixirs, shouldn't they be obedient?" The tall and thin male cultivator in black robe said with a lewd look on his face and a smile.
"Shi Han, do you know what their cultivation level is?" Duan Siqi asked in a low voice.
Gu Shihan transmitted his voice, "Xingbai said he was a Divine Transformation cultivator. We are in trouble this time! If we have a chance to escape, then escape. Don't fight head-on! Do you see the cliff over there? If you can't defeat him, run there. Xingbai will meet us there."
"Um!"
The black-robed leader scolded impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, hand over your storage magic weapon and follow us obediently!"
Gu Shihan said calmly: "My fellow seniors, this fairy pond is not yours privately. Everyone can practice here according to their own abilities. Why are you so aggressive?"
