Besides, in her previous life, Wei Qingyu had cultivated directly into an Empress.
And yet an Empress needed sugar in her medicine? This would simply make the whole world laugh at her!
With that thought, Wei Qingyu waved a hand and replied directly, "What a joke. Does this young lady need sugar?"
"Keep the silver. No need for change!"
Wei Qingyu only wanted to hurry home, tend to her injuries, cultivate, and then quickly surpass Gu Chen in Cultivation Level!
Because only then could Wei Qingyu go find Gu Chen and viciously trample him beneath her feet!
"This is so strange. We were clearly both reborn, so why is Gu Chen's Cultivation Level so high?"
"I must have been distracted by the broken engagement back then. Yes, that must be it!"
"Once I return and cultivate properly, Gu Chen, just wait to kneel before me, weeping and begging for forgiveness!"
Covered in injuries, Wei Qingyu staggered out of the Golden Dragon Treasure Bank.
President Qiu had not caught any of the things Wei Qingyu had muttered just now.
But seeing the wounds all over Wei Qingyu's body, President Qiu could not help frowning and sighing. "Sigh, young ladies from great lineages truly are different."
"For the sake of cultivation, she was willing to injure herself to such a state."
"It seems Crimson Blood Vermilion Fruits are in high demand. I'll have to stock up on more later!"
Elsewhere, Gu Chen carried a bulging bundle of spiritual medicines and arrived at a ruined temple in East Desolation Commandery to rest for the time being.
Now that he had left the Gu family, he had nowhere to go at all.
But Gu Chen did not mind. After all, in his previous life, he had made the four seas his home.
He cultivated wherever he went and had never been bound by the question of where his home was.
What was more, for Gu Chen now, raising his Cultivation Level as quickly as possible was the only right answer.
He had to cultivate, cultivate, cultivate without stopping! He had to raise his Cultivation Level to the point where he could crush everyone beneath him.
Only then could he stay farther away from those crazy women.
With that thought in mind, Jiang Feng opened the bundle and prepared to begin cultivating in the ruined temple.
Back at the Gu family residence, Gu Chen had originally intended to rely on some memories from his previous life to break directly into the Body Tempering Realm Tenth Level.
But reality proved that Gu Chen had been thinking too simply at the time.
With no other choice, Gu Chen could only temporarily consolidate his Cultivation Level and stabilize his realm at the sixth level of the Body Tempering Realm.
But things were different now. The spiritual medicines from the Golden Dragon Treasure Bank could easily let Gu Chen break through his current Cultivation Level.
The ruined temple was a complete mess, and even the beams hanging overhead looked as though they might collapse at any moment.
Yet only Gu Chen knew that a place like this was most suitable for cultivation.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth swirled around the ruined temple. As Gu Chen activated the cultivation method of the Primordial Celestial Scripture,
the scattered spiritual energy around the ruined temple seemed to be drawn in by some force.
It began gathering from all directions, pouring endlessly into Gu Chen's body!
That spiritual energy condensed into torrents within Gu Chen's body, vast as the sea.
Again and again, it washed over the meridians, tendons, and bones within him, giving Gu Chen the sensation of shedding his mortal frame and exchanging his bones.
Seventh Level of the Body Tempering Realm!
Eighth Level of the Body Tempering Realm!
Ninth Level of the Body Tempering Realm!
In one vigorous push, Gu Chen forcibly raised his Cultivation Level by another three levels!
But in the end, Gu Chen was still stuck at the great barrier of the Body Tempering Realm Tenth Level.
Yet Gu Chen did not give up. He activated the cultivation method of the Primordial Celestial Scripture once more.
He let his entire body sense the spiritual veins of heaven and earth, continuously drawing in immense spiritual energy from all around.
Body Tempering Realm Tenth Level—breakthrough!
Gu Chen instantly withdrew all the inner force he had released.
With an angry roar, spiritual energy surged back and forth through his meridians, while inner force intertwined like gnarled roots.
In an instant, Gu Chen had consolidated his Body Tempering Realm Tenth Level until it was as indestructible as fallen iron from the ninth heavens!
"Phew..."
Gu Chen slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, then grabbed the spiritual medicines before him and stuffed them into his mouth.
These spiritual medicines were all worth a fortune on the market.
Even taking out just one of them required several meticulous processes and careful calculation before consuming it.
The reason for this was not merely because such spiritual medicines were difficult to obtain and exceedingly precious.
More importantly, an ordinary person's physique simply could not withstand the nourishment of such spiritual medicines!
But Gu Chen simply grabbed them and ate them.
Anyone unaware of the truth would have thought he was eating cheap white radishes.
Before long, the spiritual medicines in front of him had been nearly wiped out.
Gu Chen let out a full belch. These spiritual medicines had filled him up nicely.
"Not bad. I'm already at the Body Tempering Realm Tenth Level."
"With just a little more cultivation, I can directly break through the Body Tempering Realm and enter the Innate Realm."
In truth, relying on the spiritual energy he had just absorbed around the ruined temple, along with the spiritual medicines he had bought from the Golden Dragon Treasure Bank,
even breaking through to the Innate Realm would have been as easy as taking something from his pocket for Gu Chen.
But Gu Chen did not want to rush for quick success. From a certain perspective, cultivation was just like building a house.
If the foundation was laid well, then even constructing a grand hall that shot into the clouds upon it would be no problem.
But if the foundation was poor, then even if one built jade towers and jeweled palaces, they would be nothing more than hollow displays.
Therefore, no matter how urgently Gu Chen wished to cultivate, he had to lay a solid foundation in the Body Tempering Realm.
Only then could Gu Chen raise himself with greater single-minded focus when cultivating other techniques in the future.
"Not bad. I'll stop cultivating here for today."
Gu Chen muttered to himself. A cold wind swept in, and Gu Chen suddenly realized that night had fallen outside.
It turned out that so much time had passed while he had been raising his realm.
As he gazed at the night beyond the broken window, Gu Youwei's figure unexpectedly appeared in Gu Chen's mind.
Of course, Gu Chen had not thought of Gu Youwei because he felt sorry for her.
Rather, he remembered how, in his previous life,
Gu Youwei had always been unable to let go of the Heavenly Dao Bone...
Meanwhile, at the Gu family residence.
"Father, do you feel any better?"
Gu Youwei personally brought over a bowl of medicinal soup, which she had brewed herself for Gu Zhengchun.
"Oh, what a wonderful daughter I have. I truly am blessed!"
As Gu Zhengchun spoke, his face was full of paternal affection, but a flicker of viciousness flashed through his eyes.
He exchanged a covert glance with Liu Caiyun, and shock rose in his heart.
Gu Zhengchun remembered clearly.
During the day, Gu Youwei had been sent flying by a single palm strike from Gu Chen.
At the time, she had practically been smashed into the wall so deeply that she could not even be pried out!
Yet before even a day had passed, Gu Zhengchun had merely fed Gu Youwei some worthless medicinal dregs.
And this little girl had already recovered more than halfway, even becoming capable of brewing medicine for him!
Thinking of this, Gu Zhengchun truly found Gu Youwei somewhat terrifying.
