Of course, a cultivation technique that would be tantamount to courting death for others posed no such problem for Gu Fengchen.
The Three Thousand Burning Flame Body granted Gu Fengchen astonishing regenerative abilities.
It was practically a perfect match for the Indestructible Golden Body Technique. In just ten minutes, the side effects brought by the Indestructible Golden Body Technique would be completely swept away.
Gu Fengchen could also clearly sense the Dou Qi within his body gradually becoming more condensed.
Half an hour of cultivation for him was equivalent to an ordinary disciple's entire day of cultivation.
To be honest, even Gu Fengchen found it somewhat unreal. He even suspected that Xun'er had given him the Indestructible Golden Body Technique because she knew his physique had strengthened.
But Gu Fengchen could not be bothered to think too much about it. As the saying went, cheats were fun for a moment, and keeping them on was fun forever.
The Indestructible Golden Body was not something that could be cultivated overnight; it required time.
It was an extremely slow process. After this round of cultivation, Gu Fengchen only felt that his skin had become more lustrous and his body stronger. But to truly reach the level of an indestructible golden body, he would likely need a long time yet.
After sitting cross-legged and regulating his breath, Gu Fengchen ended his cultivation of the Indestructible Golden Body.
It had to be said that the Indestructible Golden Body was an exceptionally powerful Body Cultivation technique, and it skipped many steps.
Within the Gu Clan, there were also some descendants who wished to follow the path of sanctifying the flesh, with high vitality and formidable defense. Those omitted steps amounted to getting beaten up every day.
Every day, they would be battered beyond recognition.
So-called fleshly sanctification was really just tempering the skin, flesh, tendons, and bones. It required enduring what ordinary people could not, practicing madly every day for decades without change.
That kind of pain was simply unbearable. In Gu Fengchen's view, anyone capable of taking such a path was ruthless even among ruthless people.
Next, Gu Fengchen took out the Mysterious Tier Low-Grade movement Dou skill—the Forest Strolling Technique.
This movement Dou skill was not particularly difficult. Gu Fengchen learned it without spending much effort.
After using it, he felt his body become much lighter.
For a moment, Gu Fengchen had the strange, disorienting sensation of being submerged in water.
Gu Fengchen felt as though his pores had opened up, and he could even faintly detect the airflow brushing across the surface of his body.
Once he had finished everything, Gu Fengchen finally turned his gaze toward the black iron sword, "Instant."
He took a deep breath. The Taotie Seal on his left hand grew slightly hot, and with practiced ease, Gu Fengchen waited to "feed."
The next moment, a streak of scarlet light spread from Gu Fengchen's left hand. Upon touching "Instant," it spilled across it like mercury.
The incomparably sturdy "Instant," capable of slicing through iron like mud, began melting bit by bit before the Taotie Seal like lard in a hot pan.
Chaotic blood-red radiance surged. The sword "Instant" abruptly became unfathomable, merging its aura to create life, shedding its deathly stillness to give birth to vitality, before melting into Gu Fengchen's arm.
Immediately afterward, golden light suddenly rose from Gu Fengchen's body, enveloping him completely like golden flames.
Then came endless pain.
Every time the Taotie Seal fed, it brought Gu Fengchen immense agony, as though countless needles were boring holes into his bones.
Gu Fengchen felt as if his body were about to be torn apart!
Fortunately, Gu Fengchen had already experienced swallowing a Seventh-Grade Pill and cultivating the Indestructible Golden Body. One had been more painful than the last. Could it be true that one got used to pain after suffering it long enough?
No, this kind of pain was truly impossible to get used to!
It was merely that the successive torment had given Gu Fengchen tremendous tolerance for pain.
Who knew how much time passed before the agonizing sensation finally vanished.
Gu Fengchen felt completely drained, his entire body already soaked in sweat.
Regrettably, Gu Fengchen had not gained an overbearing ability like the Three Thousand Burning Flame Body. However, he felt that his physical strength had received another boost.
Gu Fengchen clenched his hand, feeling strength and solidity condensed within every muscle, making it easier to exert force.
He moved slightly, and the bones in his body cracked and popped like firecrackers. His figure had become more slender, and he seemed to have grown taller.
At only eleven years old, Gu Fengchen was already one meter sixty-five tall.
Looking at the muscles all over his body, they were incredibly balanced and smooth, as if they contained astonishing power.
Gu Fengchen felt that even an ordinary Dou Shi would probably be no match for him in a one-on-one fight.
"I wonder how strong my body is now..."
Gu Fengchen felt countless warm currents flowing through his body. He wanted to know what level he could reach if he used Dou skills with his current physique.
He used the Indestructible Golden Body Technique once more. His flesh, normal just moments ago, rapidly turned crimson as though it had been heated red-hot.
His clothes had long since been torn to shreds. Gu Fengchen was in immense pain, but he could only grit his teeth and keep going, cultivating as quickly as possible.
However, just then, Gu Xun'er, who had come looking for Gu Fengchen, stood frozen in the doorway. Gu Fengchen's figure was reflected in her autumn-water eyes, and her voice was as crisp as clinking jade. "Brother Gu Fengchen, wh-why are you naked?"
Hearing Gu Xun'er's voice, Gu Fengchen startled so badly that he shuddered, then turned and dove beneath the covers.
In the original version, Xiao Yan had gotten a full view of Xun'er's body. Why had it become Xun'er seeing all of mine when it came to me?
A gentle breeze drifted past as cool moonlight spilled softly across the land. The stars glittered in the sky like countless bright lamps.
It had to be said, without industrial pollution in this world, the air really was fresh.
After finishing his breathing exercises, Gu Fengchen slowly opened his deep, bright eyes. "Next, I'll practice some Dou skills and see exactly how much the Indestructible Golden Body has strengthened my body."
Gu Xun'er had just run off blushing, but now another rapid knock came from outside the door.
"Brother Gu Fengchen, I want Candied Hawthorn today..." A clear female voice sounded. When he opened the door, a flash of fresh green met his eyes.
Gu Xun'er wore a fitting pale-green outfit, looking exceptionally fresh and refined.
Although she was still young, she already showed the signs of growing into a beauty. Her elegant temperament in particular made Gu Fengchen's heart stir when he looked at her!
It seemed Gu Xun'er had already thrown the earlier embarrassment to the winds.
"Brother Gu Fengchen, where's my Candied Hawthorn?" Gu Xun'er smiled sweetly and unceremoniously held out her little hand.
Gu Fengchen smiled bitterly. Women truly disrupt my Dao Heart.
Ever since Gu Fengchen had displayed his mastery of all sorts of delicious foods, whenever Gu Xun'er was hungry, Brother Gu Fengchen was the first person she thought of.
"By the way, Xun'er, shouldn't you be practicing Dou skills at the Martial Arts Hall right now?"
At the mention of Dou skills, Gu Xun'er pouted in dissatisfaction. "The Instructor has only been teaching us useless things these past two days."
Gu Fengchen glanced at Xun'er and said seriously, "Don't talk about yourself that way."
Gu Xun'er: "???"
"Brother Gu Fengchen, watch out or I'll hit you!"
After eating two skewers, Gu Xun'er was still not satisfied. She continued pestering Gu Fengchen. "Brother Gu Fengchen, I want more, I want more."
Gu Fengchen gave a short laugh. "If you eat too much Candied Hawthorn, worms will grow in your mouth."
"What kind of worms?" Upon hearing that, Gu Xun'er's face immediately turned wary.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Fengchen carefully described them to her. "The kind that are white and plump, all greasy, crawling all over inside your mouth."
The moment he finished speaking, he saw Little Xun'er swallow.
Incredible.
Gu Fengchen said nothing more. He gave her another two skewers of Candied Hawthorn before finally sending the little girl away.
Gu Fengchen finally had time to go to the mountaintop and practice his Dou skills.
The moon hung like a silver platter, and the sky was filled with stars.
Atop the cliff, Gu Fengchen stood bare-chested, throwing punch after punch.
The air around him was disturbed, producing a sharp, piercing sound.
On the Dou Qi Continent, apart from cultivation, the importance of Dou skills could not be overlooked.
Punch after punch, Gu Fengchen felt his body truly heating up, as though golden flames were coiling around him.
His arms gradually became engorged with blood, his flesh swelling slightly and turning purplish red.
Screeeech! Screeeech! Screeeech! Screeeech!!
The next moment, Gu Fengchen's punching speed suddenly increased. A punch shot forth in a blur that exceeded the limits of an ordinary person's vision.
His formidable strength and speed tore through and rubbed against the already turbulent airflow around him.
Gu Fengchen took a deep breath and threw a punch at a massive boulder.
Thunderbolt Fist!
A Mysterious Tier Low-Grade Dou skill.
Once the fist technique reached mastery, it carried the force of rushing thunder and the sound of thunderous rumbling—powerful and overbearing.
With a crisp crack.
The boulder, which had looked incomparably hard, shattered on the spot. Fragments flew everywhere and smashed heavily into the ground.
Though the overbearing Thunderbolt Fist was only Mysterious Tier Low-Grade, its power was comparable to a Mysterious Tier High-Grade skill.
It had been classified as Low-Grade only because it placed extremely high demands on physical strength.
This overbearing Thunderbolt Fist injured the enemy for a thousand while damaging its user for eight hundred. Its recoil would injure one's own meridians, tendons, and bones.
However, this drawback did not exist at all for Gu Fengchen.
In the blink of an eye, two months passed.
During this time, Gu Fengchen cultivated every day. With the mindset of quietly developing, he ate and drank well, trained in martial arts, and cultivated. Under the tempering of the Indestructible Golden Body, the strength in his body rose rapidly as though roots had taken hold in fertile soil. His cultivation also advanced from a One-Star Dou Practitioner to a Four-Star Dou Practitioner.
During that time, he found several Three-Leaf Green Ganoderma of decent age and consumed them.
The Three-Leaf Green Ganoderma was an excellent medicinal herb. After being absorbed by the Taotie Seal, Gu Fengchen felt a stream of pure medicinal power emerge within his body, without the slightest impurity.
It was even purer than the medicinal power absorbed from refined pills.
But perhaps because it was merely a medicinal herb, he did not directly gain an ability as he had when swallowing the Seventh-Grade Pill. This kind of "eating it raw" simply provided Gu Fengchen with Dou Qi.
After cultivation, most of the medicinal power's energy was directly converted into Dou Qi. Though it was only Dou Qi, Gu Fengchen estimated that the amount provided by the Three-Leaf Green Ganoderma would take him more than ten days of cultivation to accumulate.
After it was fully absorbed, the Three-Leaf Green Ganoderma in his left hand rapidly shriveled and dimmed, losing its original luster as if it had decayed.
Still, Gu Fengchen's cultivation speed had already far surpassed that of many people.
It even surpassed many geniuses of the Gu Clan.
It was faster than 6G!
Besides the increase in his cultivation, his mastery of the Indestructible Golden Body had also grown more proficient.
Over these two months, Gu Fengchen had used the Indestructible Golden Body Technique at every moment to temper his Dou Qi, refine his tendons and bones, and nourish his meridians.
With the Three Thousand Burning Flame Body working alongside it, his tendons and bones became incomparably robust. A casual punch carried immense power.
The tendons, muscles, skin, and bones throughout Gu Fengchen's body had long since been tempered until they were like iron plates. Compared with before, his combat ability had undergone a world-shaking transformation!
At the same time, through their interactions over the past two months, his relationship with Gu Xun'er had steadily grown closer.
With my cultivation speed, Xiao Yan really can't hold a candle to me.
Arms akimbo, smug for three seconds.JPG
Early one morning, Gu Fengchen and Gu Xun'er were playing a very exciting game.
"Ah~ Slow down, slow down, Brother Gu Fengchen, slow down."
A girl's laughter accompanied her cries.
A girl in a plain-colored dress sat on a swing while Gu Fengchen pushed her from behind. Looking at the increasingly beautiful Gu Xun'er, he said gently, "You were the one who said you wanted to go faster just now."
"Brother Gu Fengchen is so annoying." Gu Xun'er huffed coquettishly.
Gu Fengchen thought, With your current physique, you should be fine even if you flew right off this swing, shouldn't you?
Women are all drama queens!
