Zhongli Tingzhou's body was like a bottomless pit, wantonly absorbing the spiritual energy in the air.
The spiritual energy of the Upper Nine Peaks was already rich, and with him as the center, it gathered into a spiritual river vortex, creating quite a commotion.
Master Zixiao was startled and his figure instantly appeared in front of the house. He was dressed in snow-white, almost blending in with the heavy snow.
Gao Han realized belatedly that it was Master Zixiao who deliberately exposed his aura, otherwise he would not have been able to discover it at all.
"Why is the Master here?"
Master Zixiao took out a small white jade bottle from his bosom and threw it to Gao Han, "Give this to him when he condenses the golden elixir."
Having said that, he left, as decisively as when he came.
Gao Han opened the bottle, and an extremely strong medicinal aroma instantly covered his facial features with a faint fragrance.
These pills are different in color and medicinal properties from those they got from the sect and purchased in the trading area.
It has a saturated color and strong medicinal properties, and can be considered a top-grade elixir.
At some point, the noise in the air gradually calmed down, and the spiritual energy summoned by Zhongli Tingzhou.
Before they dispersed, Gao Han continued to sit down and meditate, absorbing the spiritual energy.
He is no longer worried about Zhongli Tingzhou. The fact that Master Zixiao left so cleanly means that he will be fine.
I closed my eyes for a while, and suddenly I felt the hair on my forehead move. I thought it was the wind, but it moved a few more times, as if someone was moving it with their hands.
Gao Han opened his eyes immediately. The spiritual energy condensed in the air had almost dissipated. He stood up and pushed open the door in front of him. He saw Zhongli Tingzhou sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed with his eyes closed.
"Stop pretending. Do you think I don't know it's you?" Gao Han said indifferently.
Zhongli Tingzhou didn't move.
Gao Han took a few steps towards him.
Zhongli Tingzhou's eyelids twitched a few times, and he opened his eyes. "Hey, why are you here?"
"Keep pretending." Gao Han moved his ten knuckles, looking threatening.
Zhongli Tingzhou's mouth twitched slightly, "How do you know it's me? Aren't you not yet in the Golden Core Stage?"
Gao Han rolled his eyes, "How can we compete? You are just a fool with no common sense."
"That was several days ago. Can you change your line?"
"No, your master asked me to give it to you." Gao Han handed him the white jade bottle in his hand, "How do you feel now?"
"You can keep it." Zhongli Tingzhou said indifferently, "It has already condensed into a golden elixir, and its spiritual consciousness has also become much stronger."
Spiritual consciousness is also called mental power.
Before it reaches the point of being released externally, no matter how strong the mental power is, it will not have much effect. After condensing the golden elixir, the mental power can be released externally. If used well, it can even kill people without being seen.
"How is your spiritual weapon being refined?" Zhongli Tingzhou got out of bed and asked again.
"The formation is too complicated. I'm not completely sure about it yet." Gao Han shook his head.
The formations on Lingtian Continent were much more complicated and different than the formations he had set up with spiritual tools before. If he wanted to make a breakthrough in this area, it seemed he would have to cultivate to the Golden Core Stage first, so he decided to give up for the time being.
"Then buy a magic weapon to use first."
"I thought so too, but we have used up all our spirit stones."
Five hundred mid-grade spirit stones, they said they would spend them all, so it was unique.
"Don't you know Qian Pang? Why don't you just borrow from him?" Zhongli Tingzhou disagreed.
Gao Han shook his head, "He doesn't know that I'm not from Divine Artifact Peak yet. If I borrow again, the amount will be too large and he will get suspicious."
Zhongli Tingzhou's eyes immediately fell on the bottle in his hand.
Gao Han noticed his gaze and said with a smile, "Why, you still want to sell the things your master gave you? The elixirs here are all for the Golden Core Stage, and they are of top quality in terms of quality and medicinal properties."
Zhongli Tingzhou's eyes moved behind Shang Jiufeng and said, "I didn't say that."
Gao Han thought it was funny. After the breakthrough, this guy finally understood the function of spiritual awareness and became more cautious. He teased, "You just became my disciple, and you were not expelled from the sect. Maybe your ancestors were very lucky."
"I don't think so." Zhongli Tingzhou narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Gao Han had been with him for so long that he already knew his tricks, so he didn't respond when he heard that.
"You ask me why not." Zhongli Tingzhou urged.
"I think what you said may not be what I want to hear." Gao Han said truthfully.
Zhongli Tingzhou immediately smiled meaningfully, "That may not be the case. You will definitely like to hear it."
Gao Han looked at him, nodded and said, "Now I am more certain that this is not what I like to hear."
Seeing that he was unmoved, Zhongli Tingzhou said, "I don't know whether my ancestors burn incense to help me, but I know that there must be someone who brings good luck to my husband by my side."
Gao Han almost threw the white jade bottle over, but luckily he remembered that this thing was too precious and not worthy of using it to hit the actor.
He just knew that he didn't like what the drama queen said.
"Let's talk business. I plan to set off for the demon battlefield tomorrow. I can't delay any longer." Gao Han said unhappily.
"I'll go with you." Zhongli Tingzhou's expression also became serious.
"You go with me, but you can't help me."
"The demon battlefield is so far away, he won't know." Zhongli Tingzhou said.
Gao Han glanced at him and said, "One must be honest. After all, becoming a disciple is a serious matter."
"Let's talk about it later." Zhongli Tingzhou did not compromise.
Let Gao Han say more. If he really took action, the worst that could happen would be to kill a few more demons and replace him.
In the end, when Gao Han had not yet decided whether to ask Qian Pang to borrow some spirit stones, the person who delivered the spirit stones came to his door on his own initiative.
"You want to borrow spirit stones?" Yuan Ran was a little confused. He just came to find Junior Brother Gao to ask him when he was going to set off to the demon battlefield.
Gao Han and his uncle-master had never been to the demon battlefield. He felt that as a guide, he should fulfill his responsibilities. Unexpectedly, his uncle-master asked him to borrow spirit stones.
Gao Han coughed lightly and said, "If Senior Brother Yuan doesn't have it, we can find another way."
"Yes, I do." Yuan Ran had been a sect member for many years and had some wealth. However, he secretly glanced at Zhongli Tingzhou and said, "Didn't you just get the sect's benefits a few days ago?"
Gao Han heard that he was referring to Zhongli Tingzhou's going to the clan leader to ask for welfare, "It's all spent."
“So fast…” Yuan Ran blurted out.
"I bought a lot of refining materials and pills." Gao Han explained.
"Oh yes, you are going to the demon battlefield, so you should prepare. How much do you want to borrow?" Yuan Ran immediately had no questions.
Gao Han asked, "Brother Yuan, do you know how many spirit stones are needed to buy a spirit weapon?"
Yuan Ran nodded and said, "Low-grade spiritual tools are cheaper, but they still cost one or two thousand mid-grade spiritual stones. High-grade spiritual tools are even more expensive, at least tens of thousands."
"Then lend us 20,000 medium-grade spirit stones." Zhongli Tingzhou said bluntly.
Yuan Ran suddenly laughed awkwardly, "Uncle Master, I don't have that many mid-grade spirit stones."
Zhongli Tingzhou asked, "How much do you have?"
"Just over ten thousand..." This was something he had saved for a long time.
"So poor." Zhongli Tingzhou muttered.
Yuan Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was considered relatively wealthy among the inner disciples of Zixiao Sect, but in the eyes of his great-grandmaster, he had become a poor man.
Gao Han glared at him and said, "Brother Yuan is indeed rich. I don't need to borrow too much. A few thousand mid-grade spirit stones should be enough to buy a mid-grade spirit weapon."
Zhongli Tingzhou wanted to say something, but was blocked by his eyes.
Senior Brother Yuan had to keep some for himself and lend it all to them. In case of emergency, he would also have to borrow from others.
"Alas, a penny can kill a hero." Zhongli Tingzhou muttered.
When Yuan Ran heard this, he felt extremely guilty. His great uncle was so poor that he even started to lament over a penny.
"That's enough." Gao Han rolled his eyes at him. He was even plotting against his own apprentice, even though it was only in name.
Yuan Ran felt that the cold image of his great-grandmaster had been shattered into pieces in his heart.
However, this kind of uncle-master is actually more approachable.
Thinking of this, Yuan Ran felt a little happy, because his former uncle-master would not say a word to him.
"It's okay. I'll lend you another two thousand mid-grade spirit stones. I won't be able to use them for the time being anyway." Yuan Ran was excited for a moment.
Zhongli Tingzhou raised his eyebrows proudly at Gao Han. This guy was too sensible.
In the end, they borrowed 8,000 medium-grade spirit stones from Yuan Ran, and with his help, they bought a high-grade spirit weapon.
The properties may be slightly worse, but it is still much stronger than a mid-grade spiritual weapon.
It can be said that Yuan Ran helped them a lot, both by lending them spirit stones and doing them favors.
Gao Han kept this kindness in mind and planned to repay him when he had the chance.
The next morning, the three of them set out for the demon battlefield.
No one else knew about this except the sect leader.
If Gao Han can fulfill Senior Tian Dao's conditions, someone will know about it sooner or later. If he cannot, there is no need to publicize it.
After leaving Zixiao Sect, Yuan Ran took out a small flying boat and threw it to the ground. It instantly turned into a large flying boat that could accommodate several people.
Seeing the two men looking at him as if he was rich, Yuan Ran quickly explained, "The flying boat is not mine. Master knew we were going to the demon battlefield, so he asked me to bring it out."
"If we rely on flying swords to get from Zixiao Sect to the Demon Battlefield, it will take two or three months, which is definitely too late. If we take a flying boat, it will only take two or three days to get there, but we need to continuously input spiritual energy along the way to keep the flying boat powered enough to fly. If you don't want to do it yourself, you can put in spiritual stones."
"Let Tingzhou and I do it, you don't need to." Gao Han volunteered. He and Zhongli Tingzhou absorbed spiritual energy faster.
Yuan Ran contributed both money and effort, and now his master asked them to borrow the flying boat, so he had to do some work.
"That won't do. Let's take turns." Yuan Ran didn't dare to just sit there and enjoy himself. It would be too disrespectful to let his uncle-master do the hard work.
Gao Han didn't say anything, but just signaled Zhongli Tingzhou with his eyes.
"You go first, I'll be next."
Yuan Ran moved his lips and wanted to say something, but Zhongli Tingzhou had already taken his post. He thought it would be better for him to wait until Junior Brother Gao finished before taking over.
Finally, when the flying boat was about to reach the demon battlefield, Yuan Ran looked at Gao Han, who had replaced him a day ago and looked very confident, and showed a blank expression.
