After putting the beads away, Gu Yuan also put away the box on the stone platform. It seemed that this box was used to hold the beads, and he could use it to hold the beads in the future.
Gu Yuan looked around carefully and did not find anything valuable. The stone platform was simply carved out of stone, so Gu Yuan did not take it away, but just left it where it was.
After thinking about it, Gu Yuan decided not to leave any clues. He simply blew up the cave to pieces and let the sand bury him completely.
Coming to the ground, Gu Yuan looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, sighed and said, "I've been in this desert for so long, and now I can barely touch the threshold of a ninth-level spiritual master. It seems that I can try to break through."
Gu Yuan sat down cross-legged, looked at the surrounding environment, and after making sure that there was no one around, he took out some elixirs from his space ring.
All of these spiritual medicines are red in color, obviously spiritual medicines with fire attributes.
Looking at the fire-attributed elixirs placed beside him, Gu Yuan felt that these elixirs should be able to help him break through to the ninth-level spiritual master. If this doesn't work, then he can only wait for the next breakthrough.
After burning the elixir with red flames and completely extracting the essence from it, Gu Yuan stuffed it all into his mouth. The moment the elixir essence entered his mouth, Gu Yuan felt a surge of scorching energy rolling in his mouth, and he swallowed it fiercely.
This boiling hot energy entered his body through his throat, and then continuously released the terrifying energy into the meridians throughout his body.
Gu Yuan frowned repeatedly because of the hot essence of the elixir.
Fortunately, Gu Yuan could still withstand this level of heat. This was just the normal state of fire energy. After all, so many fire-attributed elixirs were directly refined by Gu Yuan using the red flame to extract the essence, and then he swallowed them raw. It was undoubtedly quite violent.
The essence of spiritual medicine is not as gentle and soft as elixir. The elixir is a combination of spiritual medicines with various counteracting properties, and with the demon core of the demon beast as an intermediary, it can stabilize the essence after neutralization. Obviously, the elixir is the most suitable for practitioners to take.
Few people would choose to directly refine the essence and swallow it, as Gu Yuan was doing now. Firstly, it was a waste of the elixir, but Gu Yuan possessed the Scarlet Flame, which allowed him to extract the essence completely, so this wasn't a problem. Secondly, the essence of the elixir was quite violent after extraction. Without the presence of opposing elixir essences, swallowing it directly would result in some pain, as Gu Yuan was experiencing now. Fortunately, this pain was within his tolerance.
So Gu Yuan simply swallowed the essence of these spiritual medicines and tried to break through to the ninth level spiritual master.
Although it was not long before he broke through to the eighth-level spiritual master, Gu Yuan had been fighting non-stop in recent days and lived in a highly tense environment every day, so Gu Yuan felt that even if he forced the breakthrough this time, it should not be a big problem.
After the essence of the fire-attributed elixir was completely swallowed, it continued to spread throughout Gu Yuan's body and entered every corner of Gu Yuan's meridians.
At first, Gu Yuan frowned because of the scorching heat, but after getting used to it, he felt a warm warmth on his body and did not feel uncomfortable at all.
Gu Yuan sat cross-legged, forming a hand gesture, frantically absorbing the fire energy from the elixir. In this desert, fire energy was extremely abundant, so Gu Yuan didn't have to worry about running out of energy.
It’s just that Gu Yuan was afraid that the external spiritual energy would not be able to support the necessary energy supply during his breakthrough.
But this is nothing. Gu Yuan still has a lot of fire-attributed spiritual medicines in his hands. At worst, he can just swallow the spiritual medicines directly like he does now, which is enough to provide these things.
Gu Yuan practiced alone under the scorching sun.
The scorching sun stretched Gu Yuan's shadow longer and longer. Even after the sun had completely set, Gu Yuan could no longer feel the changes in the outside temperature. He had completely entered a state of ecstasy. At this moment, he was already trying his best to touch the threshold of the ninth-level spiritual master, and was completely oblivious to the changes in the outside world.
Even if someone attacked Gu Yuan at this moment, he would only be able to react instinctively without any deliberate attack, and he had no defense. This was therefore a particularly dangerous time for Gu Yuan. Fortunately, there were no signs of human life in this desert, and the only thing he should be worried about were the occasional demonic beasts. However, Gu Yuan was not completely unprepared, as he had already scattered some high-level demonic beast feces around him.
This kind of feces is the feces of a level six monster. Some monsters below level four basically dare not approach it, because the territorial awareness required by level six is stronger than that of monsters of other levels. This is why Gu Yuan dared to break through boldly.
However, if a level five monster really appeared, then Gu Yuan could only blame himself for his bad luck.
Even in his normal state, even in his current state, facing a Level 5 demon beast, Gu Yuan had no ability to fight back. After all, a Level 5 demon beast was a Spirit King-level powerhouse, a force Gu Yuan couldn't handle. This was why Gu Yuan wanted to force his way through. Only by pushing himself in this way could he increase his strength more rapidly, and only by reaching a higher level could he possess even greater strength. Sometimes, if you don't push yourself, you never know your potential. Furthermore, Gu Yuan's cultivation talent wasn't low, but for so long, various things had prevented him from focusing on his cultivation. This was finally a chance to fully focus on cultivation. Therefore, Gu Yuan wanted to fully break through to the Spirit Lord realm before setting out to find Shui Yaoyao. This way, he would also be able to ensure his personal safety.
Moreover, finding Shui Yaoyao is a big thing, and Gu Yuan has to do all of this by himself. He has no strength, and if he encounters any problems in the future, he will not be able to deal with them. This will undoubtedly be the worst thing for Gu Yuan.
If they finally find Shui Yaoyao but are unable to bring her out of the illusion due to their lack of strength, the employees will feel very regretful.
What's more, if he couldn't take her away, then Gu Yuan's trip would have been in vain.
