Chapter 337: The spiritual energy dissipated, retreating from the world to cultivate Qi!

The sudden change made Gu Dan stiffen.

Qingmu Liquid has always been a handy aid for him. There is almost no time when it moves on its own without his control.

If we trace back, the last time this happened was when he wanted to practice other internal breathing techniques! The Creation Spiritual Qi should be a kind of spiritual energy, so how could it attract the Green Wood Liquid? While thinking, the Green Wood Liquid in Gu Dan's body had completely surrounded the Creation Spiritual Qi that had just entered. No matter how the Creation Spiritual Qi rushed left and right, it could not escape the blockade of the Green Wood Liquid.

Looking inside his body, he saw a flash of green light, and the spiritual energy of nature seemed to have 'come alive', struggling constantly under the green light, like a dying or drowning creature.

But the gap between the two was too big. In the home turf of Qingmuye, the resistance of the spiritual energy of creation could not cause any waves at all. Amid the shining green light, the strands of white light were all stripped away and strangled!

Gradually, the spiritual energy of nature became too weak to continue resisting, and only the purest spiritual energy remained, which began to slowly merge into Gu Dan's body. Only then did the Qingmu Liquid complete its purification and return to its own position.

Gu Dan was left alone in shock, unable to figure out what was going on.

The spiritual energy of nature actually made Qingmuye take the initiative to attack!

Could it be that the so-called spiritual energy source was also something left behind by an extremely long-standing internal breathing technique? Or was there something he hadn't figured out that was causing trouble in the dark?

Thinking back to the spiritual energy of creation struggling like a living thing under the green light of the Qingmu Liquid, Gu felt a chill in his worry.

The spiritual energy of creation seemed to be conscious. After entering his body, it was not as obedient as it was in Huang Chao's hands.

If this is the case, it is no wonder that Huang Chao was so generous in rewarding him and did not even ask him any further questions.

Once the aura of good fortune takes root in the body, is it equivalent to leaving a 'back door' in the body? In any case, Gu Dan can be sure that there must be something strange about the source of aura, even the aura of good fortune, and even the Huang Dynasty! This Buzhou Mountain Range, is it really related to the White Lotus inheritance site in Yuzhou of the Xia Dynasty? ! While his mind was moving, Gu Dan's expression was calm, and a myriad of threads collided in his mind, raising his alertness to the highest level.

At this time, if Huang Chao dared to make any unusual moves, he would suddenly attack and take him down.

Fortunately, the thing he was most worried about did not happen. Huang Chao stayed around the holy lotus the whole time, without making any moves, just waiting for them to refine the spiritual energy of creation.

The spiritual energy of creation that had been thoroughly cleansed by the Qingmu Liquid was reduced to the purest spiritual energy, which gradually flowed into his Qi Hai Dantian. It required almost no refining, and its effect was far better than any elixir recorded in the classics, worthy of the name of creation.

He had just been promoted to the seventh level of Qi training with the help of the three-leaf spiritual vein flower. Logically, he should have taken some time to calm down and then try to improve his realm. However, with the help of the spiritual energy of creation, his aura was improving rapidly.

The spiritual energy that had been purified by the three-leaf spiritual vein flower, along with the pure spiritual energy from the spiritual energy source, continued to grow. In the blink of an eye, most of the sea of ​​​​qi was filled with mist-like spiritual energy, and even the aura was steadily increasing.

Finally, after Gu Dan absorbed all the gifts of the spiritual energy, only about one-tenth of the sea of ​​qi was not covered by the spiritual energy, which also meant that he had successfully advanced to the eighth level of Qi training! In addition to the improvement in strength, the spiritual energy in the sea of ​​qi was all in the form of mist, which meant that his foundation was extremely solid and there was absolutely no frivolity.

With spiritual energy of this quality, even for those with inferior spiritual roots, it would not be difficult to advance to the foundation-building stage, saving ordinary cultivators decades of hard work.

Putting aside the danger of the spiritual energy itself, for the low-level cultivators, this is truly a blessing.

After a long time, when his breath stabilized, Gu Dan opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed, his face was calm with a hint of joy, and he said sincerely: "The spiritual energy of creation is really extraordinary."

"That's right. The spiritual energy of good fortune can also cleanse one's own spiritual energy. This is why I didn't ask you to wait until you reach the ninth level of Qi training before using it."

Huang Chao looked at Gu Dan who had successfully absorbed the fortune spirit energy, and there was a hint of kindness in his eyes. "Since you have broken through to the late stage of Qi training, you are not too far away from foundation building. You can make more military achievements. Even if there is no reward of fortune spirit energy, you can still exchange it for foundation building spiritual objects."

"Temple Master Huang Chao is right."

Gu Dan naturally did not refute, but immediately turned his gaze to Lu Yu.

At this time, Lu Yu's aura was fluctuating, and the pure spiritual energy around him was gathering towards his body like crazy. A strong spiritual pressure lingered around him.

It turned out that he was impacting the foundation-building realm! Lu Yu's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his muscles and bones were shaking. It was easy to turn spiritual energy into liquid, but if the operation was not done properly, the spiritual energy would run away at best, and at worst, the spiritual energy would explode in the body.

Even a master cannot withstand such power.

But Lu Yu had no choice. He was one of the masters who were about to die. If he didn't take advantage of this opportunity to advance to the foundation-building stage, where would there be so many good opportunities waiting for him? Moreover, this place was where the source of spiritual energy was located. It was surrounded by pure spiritual energy. There was no place more suitable for advancement than here.

With the help of the Creation Spiritual Energy and the Spiritual Energy Source, he will impact the Foundation Establishment Realm today! And what Gu Dan really wants to observe is not the process of Lu Yu's advancement to the Foundation Establishment Realm, but the impact of the unpurified Creation Spiritual Energy on him.

Unfortunately, perhaps because his knowledge was still not enough, he was completely unable to tell where on Lu Yu's body had been changed by the spiritual energy of nature.

About half an hour later, Lu Yu's body stopped shaking, his breath gradually became stable, and a pressure from inside out naturally emanated from him.

Huang Chao clapped his hands and smiled, "Ningfang has gained another foundation-building cultivator."

Gu Dan glanced at Huang Chao's face and was sure that the joy was not fake. He was no longer afraid of offending anyone and asked naturally, "Master Huang Chao, seeing the people behind catching up, isn't he worried about threatening his position?"

"What are you talking about?"

Huang Chao sneered and said, "The Immortal Path is so profound! How can we only reach that point now? What kind of competition is there for just practicing Qi and building a foundation? Don't be narrow-minded. Above the foundation building is the Golden Core, and above the Golden Core is the Nascent Soul. Why think about those messy things instead of thinking about how to move forward bravely? You must remember that in the Immortal Path, strength is respected. It is more important to work hard to improve your own strength than to worry about being overtaken and threatened by others!"

His voice was stern and serious, quite like a strict teacher's style.

However, Gu Dan could not believe him anymore, so he took the opportunity to ask, "Since you want to improve your strength, why does the source of spiritual energy look like a lotus? It is somewhat similar to the spiritual plant.

Since it can emit infinite spiritual energy, wouldn't it be more effective if we absorb it ourselves?"

"The source of spiritual energy is a rare thing that is born and raised by nature. How can humans absorb it? If it could really be absorbed, how could the Immortal House exist?"

Huang Chao glanced at Gu Dan and said calmly, "Why, do you want to give it a try?"

"Since the hall master said so, I naturally believe it."

Gu Dan shrugged lightly, naturally not wanting to give it a try.

The spiritual energy of creation has been mobilized by Qingmu Liquid. If we really encounter the source of spiritual energy, God knows what it is. What if Qingmu Liquid can't handle it? "Hey, I did it!"

As he spoke, Lu Yu had already opened his eyes, his foundation-building aura was undoubtedly on full display, and he was beaming with joy.

"good."

Huang Chao nodded and said, "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Lu. It's time for the Law Enforcement Hall to add a deputy hall master."

"Thank you, Master."

Lu Yu quickly bowed to express his gratitude. Even though he had already been promoted to the Foundation Establishment stage and was at the same level as Huang Chao, he still admired Huang Chao's character.

When good things happen, people are in high spirits. Lu Yu, who had just broken through, looked at Gu Dan with a pleasing look and commented, "Advanced to the late stage of Qi training? Not bad. The spiritual energy of good fortune has the effect of purifying spiritual energy. It can't be said to be a waste. I was too talkative before."

"No match for Fellow Daoist Lu."

Gu Dan bowed his hands amiably and said, "I was just promoted not long ago, and I still have some thoughts to sort out, so I won't bother you two anymore."

After saying this, he left this place without being stopped.

Returning to his cave, Gu Dan frowned.

Completely to his surprise, the identity of "Kong Zhai" was not suspected at all by Huang Chao.

Of course, the more likely possibility is that the other party has absolute confidence, and is confident that no matter what kind of disguise he has, it doesn't matter.

The spiritual energy of nature might very well be the bait for fishing, but Gu Dan couldn't figure out who it was fishing for.

What was more worthy of his concern was that since the spiritual energy source could produce something like the spiritual energy of creation, was the spiritual energy produced by the spiritual energy source really clean? Gu Dan's eyes sank slightly. That was the worst plan and the most malicious speculation. Even the spiritual energy itself might have problems.

Even though now everything was just his own idea and he might be making a fuss out of nothing, this warning still resounded in his heart.

The expression on Gu Dan's face changed several times, and finally his eyes suddenly became firm.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Mist-like spiritual energy gradually floated out of his body, and his immortal realm was rapidly falling.

There is no spiritual energy in the late stage, middle stage and early stage of Qi training!

More than ten years of hard training can be dispelled in just a short moment.

"Ordinary people are reluctant to give it up, because it is not easy to get it."

When he no longer had any spiritual energy, Gu Dan took a deep breath and said, "But I am willing to give it up!"

No matter who set up this trap in Buzhou Mountain, since he had already noticed something strange, Gu Dan naturally did not plan to stay here any longer.

The outside is a real 'land without spirits'. Even if one's cultivation is not dispersed, it will gradually decline.

If that’s the case, what’s the point of keeping this spiritual energy that makes him feel uneasy?

If the aura itself is really some kind of mark, it would actually expose itself.

He had already made up his mind to build his foundation. If he failed to refine Qi, he would definitely not be able to get close to the Buzhou Mountains. The worst that could happen was that he would wait until a true immortal came to the world and there was spiritual energy everywhere before practicing again.

He has more time than anyone else. Life is the most important thing to him. Protecting himself is the most cost-effective and worthwhile thing to do at any time.

Compared with this, the mere late stage of Qi training is not even worthy of carrying shoes.

What he gave up was only for a moment, but what he fought for was for a lifetime! When the spiritual energy completely disappeared and the sea of ​​qi was once again "empty", Gu Dan felt a sense of relief and pleasure for the first time in a long time. Not only did he not feel reluctant, but he was in a very good mood.

"When practicing, one should follow one's heart."

Gu Dan seemed to have realized something. Although his overall strength declined slightly as a result, he felt much better. With his mind free, his strength did not necessarily decline.

No matter what the source of spiritual energy is, or what the conspiracy is behind it, he can afford to avoid it if he can't afford to offend it.

He simply packed up his things and, to be on the safe side, did not take even a single spirit stone with him. Gu Dan was already prepared to leave Ningfang.

Before leaving, Gu Dan hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards Zhuang Sheng's cave.

"Brother Kong?"

Zhuang Sheng was very happy to see Gu Dan. "I just received news that Brother Lu Yu has been promoted to the foundation-building stage. I'm sure you have gained something as well!"

"Zhuang Sheng."

This was the first time that Gu Dan called him by his name. He then said, "You don't have much aspirations for cultivation. Are you interested in taking a trip to the mortal world?"

"Um?"

Zhuang Sheng was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Brother Kong, why do you say that?"

"Practicing here is too suffocating, it's far less free and easy than in the mortal world. When we practice immortal cultivation, we should seek freedom and ease, not to tie ourselves up in knots.

Unfortunately, many people come here and think that the immortal way is everything to them, and even forget their original intentions. I am only now beginning to understand. I am ready to go down the mountain and travel the mortal world, maybe for a few years, or maybe even for decades. "

Gu Dan said directly.

Zhuang Sheng did not have a strong desire for spiritual practice, otherwise he would not have only reached the fifth level of Qi training. If he had really paid more attention, he would not have reached this level.

He is one of the few people who truly enjoy the way of immortality, but what he pursues is not the improvement of realm, but to satisfy his inner thoughts through the means of immortality.

What's more, Zhuang Sheng was, in a sense, his descendant during the Xia Dynasty, so it would be okay to inform him in advance before leaving.

As for whether to listen or not, that is entirely up to Zhuang Sheng himself. After all, he can only be responsible for himself. Guessing on such things cannot be used as a direct basis, and naturally it is even more inconvenient to speak out.

"I thought it was something else."

Zhuang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Of course there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, the mortal wonder of 'Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate' that occurs once every fifteen years is coming soon. I am just about to go down the mountain for a walk. Since Brother Kong has this idea, how about we go for a walk together?"

"The carp leaping over the dragon gate? We can go and take a look."

Gu Dan nodded.

In the eighty-ninth year of Xianlin, the two monks left Ningfang together.

No one noticed their departure.
