Gu Chen's cultivation technique was, after all, a top-tier technique. Although he had deliberately reduced the side effects of the technique entering Gu Beichi's meridians, Gu Beichi still found it somewhat unbearable.
About five minutes later, Gu Beichi's body began to tremble, and small red spots even appeared on his skin and face.
Seeing this, Gu Chen could only stop for a moment and then asked, "Are you alright?"
"It's okay, I can still manage!"
Gu Beichi's forehead was covered in sweat, and his voice trembled slightly.
But he didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he persisted.
In fact, although he had the support of the Spirit Gathering Array during this seclusion, his progress had been slow. However, the five minutes he had just spent were more effective than several days of his cultivation. He could vaguely sense the signs of a breakthrough, so how could he stop now!
Previously, he had failed to break through to the Revolving Illumination Realm, which is why the Gu Family made things difficult for him under various pretexts. Later, they even found a pretext to expel him and his son from the Gu Family.
He will never forget this humiliation!
So he has to hold on!
Seeing Gu Beichi's desperate stance, Gu Chen couldn't help but sigh.
In reality, such assistance in cultivation is far more complex than depicted in martial arts novels, where a master directly imparts internal energy to another, like Zhang Wuji or Xuzhu gaining decades of cultivation out of thin air. This is utterly absurd and impossible!
Of course, the reason is simple: everyone is an individual. Regardless of the conflict between cultivation methods, it is very difficult to find two people with the exact same physique, talent, and Spiritual Root over time.
This is like pouring mercury into a glass of water. Although it may seem the same, the density of everyone's True Qi is different. It might work occasionally, but helping someone break through a bottleneck is a very difficult thing to do.
If things go wrong, it could even backfire on both sides, and in severe cases, it could even cause the body to explode and die!
Fortunately, Gu Chen's past experience and skills gave him the courage to do this!
Gu Chen thought for a moment, then took out one Yellow Rock Pill and said:
Open your mouth!
"What... um..."
Gu Beichi had just opened his mouth when he felt something fly into it.
As soon as he swallowed it, he felt a surge of heat travel from his mouth to his abdomen, then spread rapidly, finally flowing into his dantian, and then expanding quickly throughout his limbs and bones!
Scalding hot, unbearably hot, Gu Beichi felt as if his entire body was burning with flames at this moment!
"This is Yellow Rock Pill!"
Before Gu Beichi could speak, Gu Chen explained, "It's a fourth-grade pill that can raise a martial artist's level."
"Yellow Rock Pill?"
Gu Beichi's body trembled. Although he was not a great martial artist, he had heard of Yellow Rock Pill's name before!
It can help martial artists advance further!
A miraculous elixir for breaking through cultivation levels!
Gu Beichi was deeply moved that Zhao Bo would even be willing to give him such a precious elixir. But then he suddenly realized something and asked, "Senior Zhou, what's wrong with Zhao's voice?"
"Don't speak!"
Gu Chen's heart skipped a beat. He had reminded Gu Beichi earlier but forgot to change his voice. He immediately used Zhao Bo's voice again and said, "Now that the pill has entered your body, you must immediately begin circulating your cultivation technique. This time, you must concentrate, otherwise it's easy to suffer a qi deviation, just like you and I!"
"Alright!" Gu Beichi didn't dare to delay, and immediately closed his eyes to regulate his breathing and began to circulate his internal energy.
Three hours later.
The door to the side room opened, and Gu Chen, looking exhausted, walked out.
"Master, I just sensed a surge of blood energy swirling around the roof. Has Grandmaster successfully broken through?"
Zhao Bo quickly came up and asked.
"It's a success." Gu Chen let out a heavy sigh of relief and said, "My dad is asleep now. Because it was a breakthrough achieved by borrowing strength, he needs to adapt on his own."
"That's good." Zhao Bo quickly bowed his head and said, "Congratulations, Master! Congratulations! Our Heavenly Pivot Sect has gained another expert at the Revolving Illumination Realm!"
"Congratulations, Sect Master!" Ma Gang and the others hurriedly said respectfully, their voices tinged with envy.
"A master of the Revolving Illumination Realm?"
Gu Chen sighed inwardly. In their eyes, the Revolving Illumination Realm Revolving Illumination Realm already a high level, but in reality, it was nothing special. However, his father's lifelong wish was to reach the Revolving Illumination Realm, and this time he had helped him achieve his goal.
"Master, tomorrow is a good time to visit the Gu Family."
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Bo finally spoke up, "I originally planned to inform Master today, but since Master has arrived in the Shangjing, it means that this is fate."
"Why?" Gu Chen asked.
Tomorrow is the 50th birthday of Gu Changfeng, the head of the Gu Family!
Zhao Bo said, "The Gu Family will invite people from all walks of life; it will surely be a grand and lively event."
"Excellent!"
A sharp glint flashed in Gu Chen's eyes as he said, "This is truly heaven's help! Our trip to the Gu Family at this time will surely give Gu Changfeng an unforgettable birthday and an unforgettable gift!"
Yes, Gu Changfeng's fiftieth birthday is simply a gift from heaven!
Gu Changfeng probably never imagined that on his birthday, he and his father would return to the Gu Family specifically to collect debts!
"That's right!"
Gu Chen seemed to remember something, looked at Zhao Bo, and asked, "How's your cultivation of the Undying Divine Skill going?"
"It's alright, but I haven't reached the critical point for a breakthrough yet." Zhao Bo said, "Master, I've disappointed you."
Zhao Bo looked somewhat ashamed.
In fact, Zhao Bo had already sensed the changes in Gu Chen after Gu Chen arrived today. Although it had only been a little over half a month, he could clearly feel that Gu Chen's strength had improved again!
And the improvement is not just a little bit!
However, despite receiving the Spirit Gathering Array and the Jade Guanyin as Gu Chen's disciple, Zhao Bo still made little progress, which made him feel extremely ashamed. After all, apart from Ma Gang, Jiang Qi and the other two had already reached the Bone-Forge Realm, which was a significant improvement.
"Take this." Gu Chen took out a Yellow Rock Pill and handed it to Zhao Bo, saying, "Take this, and I'll help you break through tonight. Let's see if you can reach the Middle Revolving Illumination Realm."
"This is... Yellow Rock Pill?" Zhao Bo was extremely excited.
How could he not recognize this thing!
"After you left this time, I met someone from the Zhao Family named Zhao Pengfei," Gu Chen said. "Once the Gu Family's affairs are settled, the Zhao Family's affairs also need to be resolved, so I hope you can break through to the Middle Revolving Illumination Realm as soon as possible."
"Zhao Pengfei? That's an elder of the Zhao Family!"
Zhao Bo's spirits lifted, and a look of resentment flashed across his face as he said, "That person is my enemy. His elder brother, Zhao Pengquan, is one of the culprits who killed my parents!"
"Zhao Pengfei is already dead," Gu Chen said calmly. "As for Zhao Pengquan, whom you mentioned, you'll have to take revenge yourself!"
"I understand!" Zhao Bo nodded, then suddenly knelt down and said, "Master, your kindness and virtue are immeasurable; Zhao Bo will follow you to the death in this lifetime!"
Go and cultivate.
Gu Chen waved his hand dismissively.
The day was sunny and breezy.
Shangjing Gu Family
The place was bustling with activity, a truly lively scene.
The reason is simple: today is the 50th birthday of Gu Changfeng, the head of the Gu Family!
Many sects, families, and major forces from Huaxia stationed in Shangjing were invited.
At present, the Gu residence is brightly lit. Before noon, the gate is already bustling with cars and people. Various luxury cars come and go in an endless stream, and many elites from high society and martial arts nobles come and go. The scene is extremely grand.
