Carefully putting away the fragmentary map, Gu He knew what the final item in the trade fair was.
It was a piece of news from Old Man Baoshan regarding the emergence of the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
Knowing this in advance, he had no interest in staying any longer.
Gu He left the trade fair with Xiao Yi Xian and returned to the Nine Netherworld Nether Python tribe.
He first settled Xiao Yi Xian down, then headed for the northeastern border of Central Continent, the Barbaric Ancient Region, where the Bodhi Ancient Tree had appeared.
As one of the most extraordinary treasures in this world, he had no need for a Bodhi Heart, but he still wanted to experience the contemplation beneath the Bodhi Tree and see whether it would be of any use to him. If it was, it could make up for one of the shortcomings caused by his overly rapid advancement—his lack of accumulation.
Both his strength and alchemy had advanced too quickly. In terms of strength, he had never had the time to properly temper it. Not only had he yet to develop Dou Skills unique to himself, he had not even completely mastered the Dou Qi within his body. As for alchemy, although the selfless teachings of Xuan Kongzi and the other two had helped him make up for the weaknesses preventing him from becoming a ninth-grade alchemist, his alchemy had seen almost no improvement afterward aside from an increase in soul power. Even though his soul had now reached the Heavenly Realm Great Perfection, his chances of refining a Ninth-grade Profound Pill were still far lower than those of the four people who had competed for the title of the Dou Qi Continent's greatest alchemist at the Yao Clan's Medicine Canon in the original timeline.
