You damned eunuch, one day I'll make you go back and be castrated again!
Gu Yifeng was internally cursing, but outwardly he cooperated by showing a hint of fear.
Hehehe.
Chang Fu left with a sinister smile.
Watching his departing figure, Gu Yifeng curled his lip and said, "What are you laughing at? I still have two steamed buns in my arms, I'm not worried at all, you know that?"
However, Gu Yifeng underestimated just how perverted an old eunuch could be.
Not long after Changfu left, several young eunuchs arrived.
"Godfather said that His Highness can drink water but not eat. He can eat when he thinks it through and is willing to answer Godfather's questions. Of course, His Highness can eat the rats and insects in the prison, but we won't interfere."
The eunuch finished speaking expressionlessly, then dragged Gu Yifeng out and threw him into another cell.
Now Gu Yifeng not only had no moldy straw mat to sleep on, but the ground was also covered with moss, making it extremely uncomfortable to sit on because it was cold and damp.
Gu Yifeng, who was pierced by the spirit-suppressing pestle, tried to move his body but slipped and fell due to the wet moss.
This triggered the spirit-suppressing pestle, causing him excruciating pain that nearly killed him.
"You damned eunuch, once I get out of here, I'll make you realize that being childless is the best outcome you can hope for!"
Gu Yifeng gritted his teeth, propped himself up, and took out a steamed bun from his pocket to eat.
I must say, these cornbreads actually taste pretty good.
It was so filling that Gu Yifeng felt full after only a few bites.
Looking at the portion that had been eaten, Gu Yifeng estimated that if they were careful with the food, the two steamed buns could last for a month.
Hmm, it's truly a masterpiece! That damned eunuch's plan has failed; I, the great one, will never go hungry.
After filling his stomach, Gu Yifeng set his sights on the Body Tempering Pill.
The steamed buns are no ordinary thing, so the Body Tempering Pill must be no ordinary thing either.
Gu Yifeng poured one out.
As expected, unlike the gray body tempering pills I had eaten before, the body tempering pills given by the system were golden and had a faint halo.
It's obviously top-quality.
Gu Yifeng swallowed one without hesitation.
The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and Gu Yifeng felt a cool sensation flow into his chest and abdomen, spreading throughout his meridians.
One word: awesome!
After the medicine was absorbed, Gu Yifeng stretched his body.
All his joints and bones felt loosened, and he could clearly feel that his meridians had been widened considerably.
This is the true Body Tempering Pill!
Gu Yifeng sighed, then suddenly realized with surprise that the pain from the three spirit-suppressing pestles on his back had lessened considerably.
He reached out and gently touched it, only to find that the Spirit-Suppressing Pestle had become quite loose. So he gritted his teeth and pulled out all three nails.
"Is this spirit-suppressing pestle no longer able to suppress my expanded meridians and acupoints?"
Gu Yifeng murmured as he looked at the blood-stained Spirit-Suppressing Pestle.
At this time, his cultivation level had recovered to about 70-80%.
Despite being hailed as a cultivation genius of the Great Gan Empire, Gu Yifeng was merely at the early stage of the Dingyuan Realm, one of the nine realms of cultivation.
In this world, perception, gathering spirit, and stabilizing essence are the lower three realms, while opening the mansion, concentrating the spirit, and the Great Void are the middle three realms.
As for what the Upper Three Realms are called, even the old emperor in the late stage of establishing his own government did not know. The empire searched through all the historical records but could not find any. It only vaguely knew from folk tales that there were no cultivators in the Upper Three Realms in this world.
"Let's focus on recovering our strength first; at least that will give us more trump cards."
Gu Yifeng planned to first use the Body Tempering Pill to restore his cultivation level.
Make good use of the premium body-tempering pills given by the system to temper your body.
Without further ado, Gu Yifeng sat cross-legged, chanting incantations and occasionally consuming a Body Tempering Pill.
Soon, the spiritual energy inside the Heavenly Prison began to converge towards Ancient Peak.
Gu Yifeng could clearly feel that compared to his predecessor, his spiritual energy was gathering much faster now—the effect of the Body Tempering Pill! Optimizing his aptitude!
Even after all the spiritual energy in the prison was drained that day, Gu Yifeng still did not stop chanting the incantation.
Because he was completely immersed in the state of impending breakthrough.
As the spiritual energy outside the Heavenly Prison was also drawn away, Gu Yifeng's aura grew stronger and stronger.
Finally, he was jolted awake and successfully broke through to the mid-stage of the Dingyuan realm.
However, Gu Yifeng did not stop but immediately took a few more Body Tempering Pills.
There's still room for improvement!
This was Gu Yifeng's feeling; after taking the Body Tempering Pill, his cultivation bottleneck had completely disappeared.
As long as you continue to absorb and refine spiritual energy, you will be able to break through again soon.
Breakthrough is a feeling of clearly experiencing the evolution of life at a certain level, which Gu Yifeng finds irresistible.
As one's cultivation level increases, the surrounding spiritual energy is absorbed more quickly.
By the time Gu Yifeng broke through to the late stage of the Dingyuan realm, the spiritual energy within a radius of several miles of the Heavenly Prison in the entire imperial palace had been completely absorbed.
"not good!"
Suddenly, Gu Yifeng opened his eyes, his face pale, and his aura began to fluctuate.
The realm is unstable!
"Too greedy, too greedy! Absorbing too much is too slow to refine!"
Gu Yifeng panicked; it would be terrible if he couldn't suppress it and his body exploded and he died.
"System! Help!"
Gu Yifeng had no choice but to call for help.
The system ignored it.
It's over.
Why did I have to go through so much in just one day?
Gu Yifeng felt utterly hopeless. The spiritual energy within his body gradually surged violently. He knew that he would be blown away with a bang in at most half an hour.
Just as Gu Yifeng was in despair, the doors of the prison were opened again.
Is the old eunuch here again?
There's hope!
No matter what he says, just cooperate with him first, at least make sure you don't die!
Gu Yifeng looked over in surprise, but what appeared in his field of vision with each step was not Chang Fu's old face.
"Who are you?"
Gu Yifeng was stunned for a moment when he saw the masked man in black in front of him, and then he was overjoyed.
