After leaving the divine realm, Gu Yan returned to the palaces of the princesses and concubines, only to find them all fast asleep, sprawled on the beds and floors.
He glanced at the sky; it was already afternoon. He couldn't help but sigh at how fast time flew by. He hadn't even had enough time to enjoy himself, and another day was almost over.
His figure flashed again, heading to the Queen's palace, where he found Chu Xuan'er holding Jin Yue, who was also fast asleep. From her neck to her lower abdomen, and even her side, there was a thin, white-golden membrane covering her.
"Alright, I should rest well. I need to improve my cultivation again."
Gu Yan muttered to himself that he had gained more than 30 million spirit stones this time, which was definitely enough for him to break through to the Core Formation Realm.
After giving instructions to the old kings of Da Jin through telepathy, he returned to the Spirit Storage, a place that was spacious and quiet.
With a flick of his hand, he took out all the spirit stones from the storage bags in various storage realms, and like a gushing sea, they quickly formed another mountain.
Among them are many high-grade spirit stones. Each high-grade spirit stone is worth ten thousand low-grade spirit stones, thus saving a lot of space, and the spiritual energy is even more refined.
"It will take at most one month to fully absorb it. We can't proceed step by step like last time to consolidate our cultivation."
Gu Yan looked down at the Spirit Stone Mountain with a serious expression.
Previously, when I was in the Ancient Martial Arts, my cultivation was at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm, and I could absorb 1.5 million units a month. After breaking through to the early stage of the Forging Platform Realm, I could absorb more than 3 million units a month.
He had previously secluded himself for a month and absorbed another six million, which allowed him to break through to the late stage of the Forging Platform Realm.
At the current rate, he estimates he can slowly absorb ten million spirit stones, but that's definitely not enough to break through. Gu Yan would need at least thirty million spirit stones to break through to the Core Formation Realm.
That is to say, it has to be three times the normal absorption rate.
Thinking of this, Gu Yanxiu's beautiful face couldn't help but twitch. One speed was comfortable, but three speeds was a bit too violent.
"Forget it, I'll just have to endure some hardship. It would be troublesome if a few more people at an even higher level came along."
Clearing his mind of distractions, Gu Yan's gaze hardened, and he immediately began circulating his cultivation technique to replenish the spiritual energy he had depleted!
After the battle, he was so busy having fun that he hadn't recovered. That's why he was out of breath after playing with the four concubines, the six pearls, and Hua Qingyue for a few hours. Otherwise, he would have fed Su Ling's three little mouths.
As he circulated his cultivation technique, a golden vortex appeared above his head, drawing in numerous spirit stones that were then transformed into spiritual energy and absorbed by his body.
Gu Yan was enveloped in a dense spiritual mist, which he inhaled continuously through his mouth and nose, and even the pores of his body became active.
...
Half a day later, Gu Yan's spiritual energy was fully restored. He gritted his teeth, and the vortex above his head expanded, with spirit stones turning into a river that flowed into it continuously.
......
Tianqing Domain.
Pillar City.
There was a brothel called Yihong Courtyard, which was fifteen stories high. On the top floor, many women in light gauze dresses played the piano and danced gracefully.
A nearly 2.5-meter-tall, 1.2-meter-wide obese man lay on a large chair bed. He had a square head and big ears, and each of his arms was embracing a beautiful woman with a stunning appearance and a proud figure. His fleshy hands kept groping back and forth, which aroused reproach.
"Ugh, I hate it!"
The beautiful woman in his arms had fear in her eyes, but she had no choice but to cooperate with him.
Suddenly, a beam of white light flew in and transformed into a palm-sized, rectangular talisman.
"What does that bastard Qinglang want with me?"
Upon seeing this, the obese man sat up, muttered something, and then spat out a mouthful of black light, shattering the talisman into pieces.
It then transformed into invisible sound waves and flew into his large ears.
The next instant, the obese body trembled, and a beautiful woman who had been kneeling under the chair bed sat up, gagging. Her nausea was impossible to hide on her gorgeous face, and she sprayed out a large amount of foul-smelling liquid, gasping for breath.
Upon seeing this, the obese man's eyes turned fierce, his mouth instantly lengthened into a pig's face, and he grabbed the other man's neck with one arm, bringing it to his mouth and starting to crunch on his arm.
The beautiful woman and the women dancing and playing music nearby were terrified; their delicate bodies trembled uncontrollably.
A moment later, a blood-soaked head rolled to the ground, and everyone saw the terrified look in its eyes.
"Hmph, if anyone dares to show me that kind of expression again, I'll eat you alive."
The fat, pig-faced man stood up and said that he was originally a great demon in the mountains. After three thousand years of arduous cultivation, he finally succeeded in transforming into human form. He then left the deep mountains where people fought every day and came to the place where humans lived. He secretly occupied a city of moderate size and began to enjoy himself again.
Although everyone knew that a powerful demon lived here, no one bothered to do anything about it. It was better to befriend a Core Formation demon than to make an enemy of it, since they had many matters in the mountains that needed these powerful demons to take the lead in handling.
"I never expected that Yuan Luozi would die, and that he would die on the edge of our Million Mountains."
Hmph~
I wonder which of my demon clan members did this. This is a bit against the rules, and it might even implicate me.
Ignoring the expressions of the women around him, the pig-faced man muttered in shock and grunted a few times.
His body transformed into a gust of black wind and vanished from the spot.
The women performing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
