After cultivating the Dragon Elephant Horn, Gu Chen felt a little exhausted.
Although he was Divine Emperor and had a wide range of interests in his previous life, he was ultimately not particularly professional in cultivating spiritual flowers and fruits, after all, everyone has their own area of expertise.
Furthermore, he was only at the Revolving Illumination Realm at the moment. To transform the True Qi in his body into spiritual liquid through magic was like plucking fur from an animal. His "fur" was not thick, so he quickly couldn't hold on and had to stop.
But looking at the newly cultivated spiritual flowers and herbs in front of him, Gu Chen's face was pale, but his eyes were full of fervor!
"The higher the quality of the seed, the more difficult it is to cultivate, the more spiritual liquid it requires, and the longer it takes."
"Of course, this little gray bottle isn't omnipotent. Even if I were completely exhausted, I probably couldn't cultivate a fruit of the ' Shennong Grass ' level right now! Besides, I don't have any Shennong Grass fruits!"
"But with this little gray bottle, I can save countless hours! What usually takes a year to mature can be done in a minute here! If it took ten or a hundred years to cultivate, wouldn't the process be even more incredible!"
Gu Chen's heart pounded faster as he thought to himself, "Although Earth is a mundane world, unlike Heavenly Nether Star, it possesses the Land of Heaven and Earth, and is home to rare and exotic herbs like Shennong Grass. My master trained here in his previous life, so perhaps Earth truly holds some secret! And this little bottle I found today has such miraculous functions; it's clearly one of the undiscovered magical treasures!"
Yes, Gu Chen was right, this is the magic weapon!
Something on a higher level than magical artifacts!
"The Spirit Field is just one space within it. As for what else is there, with my current level of Divine Sense cultivation, I can no longer delve deeper."
"I suppose that spirit stone mine was placed next to this thing to conceal it. If I hadn't been quick-witted and happened to know some alchemy and the art of cultivating spirit fruits, and if I hadn't known about spirit fields and rare herbs that martial artists wouldn't know about, I probably would have missed this little bottle, letting it remain gathering dust and fall into the mortal realm!"
Thinking of this, Gu Chen gripped the small gray bottle tightly.
With his knowledge, this thing must be extraordinary!
In the cultivation world, everything is divided into nine grades, including magical artifacts and materials!
Once a magical artifact reaches the fifth grade, it can be called a magical treasure. The value of the small gray bottle, which can shorten time, is definitely not just a magical artifact; it is very likely a magical treasure!
"In my previous life, before I reached the Divine Emperor, I only had two magical treasures: the ' Eastern Emperor Cauldron ' and the ' Xuanji Sword.' Now, I can say I have one! Although it's a functional magical treasure, it may still have potential for development. Perhaps in the future, it will reveal even more functions than it has!"
After figuring it out, Gu Chen put everything on the table, including the small gray bottle, into his Emperor's Vein. He had already tested it and knew its astonishing value; he wouldn't use it unless absolutely necessary.
After all, there are very few places in the mortal world where he needs to refine elixirs and find medicinal herbs.
"Once I'm stronger, I can try cultivating other things. If it's not just flowers, herbs, and fruit trees, wouldn't that be even more incredible!"
"I never expected to obtain an ancient magical treasure in this mortal world! It's truly beyond my expectations!"
Gu Chen was initially annoyed after being ambushed at the Wuji Manor's headquarters, but that feeling has long since vanished. Obtaining such a treasure, which is rare even in the cultivation world, is an opportunity that comes along only once in a thousand years.
After packing his things, Gu Chen set the place on fire and burned it down.
After descending the mountain, Gu Chen hailed a taxi and headed back to downtown Shangjing. On the way, he called Yu Sheng Gu Chen let him know he was safe, and then returned to his hotel.
Having expended a lot of energy today, Gu Chen went into the house, lay down on the bed, and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning.
Gu Chen got up very early and then called Zhao Bo.
"I've arrived in the Shangjing. How are your preparations going?"
"Master," Zhao Bo said, his spirits lifting, "I'm all ready."
Where's my dad?
"He's currently in seclusion, preparing to break through to the Revolving Illumination Realm," Zhao Bo said. "Should we wait for our master to finish his seclusion?"
"Wait a minute." Gu Chen thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Where are you? I'll come find you."
Gu Chen still needs to go to the Land of Heaven and Earth to resolve the Gu Family's affairs before he can feel at ease.
Gu Beichi's father, has been in the Shangjing for over ten days, almost entirely focused on cultivation, all in order to reach the Revolving Illumination Realm and seek justice from the Gu Family. This is a knot in Gu Beichi's heart, and Gu Chen feels it is necessary to help his father untie it.
Even when Gu Chen went to the Gu Family, he wanted Gu Beichi to take the lead.
Only in this way can the knot in your heart be untied.
After Zhao Bo gave Gu Chen the address, Gu Chen took a taxi and headed to the location Zhao Bo had indicated.
This is a small, quiet courtyard house with an ancient well, bamboo signboard, and blue-tiled side rooms—it has everything you could need.
Upon arriving at the courtyard house, Zhao Bo, Ma Gang, and the other two waited for Gu Chen at the entrance and welcomed him inside.
"Our grandmaster is in seclusion in this side room," Zhao Bo said, pointing to the side room next door. "I told our grandmaster that this is a branch of our Heavenly Pivot Sect, and he didn't suspect a thing."
Thank you.
"Master, you're being too polite," Zhao Bo said nervously, then asked curiously, "But Master, why didn't you tell Grandmaster your identity? You have to go to the Gu Family family eventually; how could this be kept a secret?"
"We have to keep it a secret even if we can't hide it now," Gu Chen said. "I don't want my dad to worry, so you'll have to step in for me."
"Alright," Zhao Bo could only say.
Gu Chen nodded and walked into the room where Gu Beichi was.
Although the Jade Guanyin was given to Zhao Bo, Zhao Bo did not keep it to himself. In the side room, Zhao Bo set up a simple Spirit Gathering Array on the Jade Guanyin for Gu Beichi to cultivate.
Gu Beichi sat beside the array's core, his eyes closed.
A misty aura rose from his body; it was the spiritual energy produced by his cultivation.
Without saying a word, Gu Chen crossed the formation, sat cross-legged behind Gu Beichi, and placed his hands on Gu Beichi's back.
"Hmm?"
Gu Beichi's body trembled.
"Don't move, it's me. You've reached a critical juncture in your breakthrough. If you don't want to fail, let the True Qi in your meridians flow along with me."
Gu Chen imitated Zhao Bo's voice and spoke slowly.
Gu Beichi, unsuspecting, immediately stopped the urge to turn around, closed his eyes again, and said, "Yes, Senior Zhao."
"Hmm." Gu Chen circulated the "Heaven and Earth Creation Art" and began to channel True Qi into Gu Beichi's body.
