"Dragon Blood Pool."
When Gu Chen said this, a slight look of disorientation appeared on his face, as if he were recalling something.
Dragon Blood Pool is a secret realm on Heavenly Nether Star. When he first arrived on Heavenly Nether Star, his beautiful master left him in Dragon Skeleton Valley for training. It was teeming with demonic beasts and cultivators; one wrong move and he would be wiped out without a trace.
Gu Chen spent two whole years in Dragon Skeleton Valley, transforming from a clueless, one-legged boy into a rising star in the cultivation world.
It was during that period of life-and-death trials that he quickly adapted to the environment of Heavenly Nether Star, enabling him to successfully reach the Foundation Establishment Stage and embark on the path of cultivation and immortality.
The Dragon Blood Pool is a natural hot spring in Dragon Skeleton Valley. It can also be called a hot spring, but the Dragon Blood Pool is rich in spiritual energy. It is said to be a pool formed from dragon blood. Soaking in it can heal injuries, improve physical condition, break through cultivation levels, and even improve one's realm! However, there are very few Dragon Blood Pool, and they can only be replenished once every thirty years after each use. Even if predecessors have marked them, they may not be able to find them because the surface of Dragon Skeleton Valley is constantly changing.
Therefore, the Dragon Blood Pool in Dragon Skeleton Valley has always been a coveted cultivation ground for cultivators.
As a result, murders and robberies occurred frequently.
Now, Gu Chen simulated the properties of the Dragon Blood Pool, specifically purchasing Dragon Blood Grass from the black market as the main ingredient, and combining it with more than ten other medicinal herbs to recreate a small portion of the effects of the Dragon Blood Pool.
Although this medicine is less than one-tenth the effect of the Dragon Blood Pool, and doesn't even have any cultivation effect, it's enough for Gu Beichi's current situation to restore his meridians.
"Dragon Blood Pool? Why have I never heard of it?"
Gu Beichi sighed and said, "Senior Zhao is indeed a master. I estimate that even the aristocratic families in the Shangjing don't know about this kind of medicinal pool combination technique. Perhaps only those reclusive sects could possibly master it. By the way, Chen'er, how did you meet Senior Zhao? Could it be that you dropped out of school recently to be with Senior Zhao?"
Gu Chen mumbled, "I guess so."
"It is truly my good fortune that you have such an opportunity!" Gu Beichi said solemnly, "Senior Zhao's strength is unfathomable, yet he is unpretentious and unconcerned with trivial matters. He is a rare and remarkable person! Although he is willing to befriend you, you must not treat him with disrespect and must still treat him with the respect due to a junior!"
Gu Chen gave a wry smile and said, "Dad, I understand. Please stop lecturing me."
"I know you don't want to hear this, but I still have to say it. After all, Revolving Illumination Realm is known as Grandmaster, and Grandmaster ' tempers are always unpredictable. Moreover, I see that Senior Zhao's cultivation method is somewhat similar to a certain family's cultivation method I encountered in the Shangjing. People who practice that kind of method are even more eccentric." Gu Beichi cautioned, "His willingness to help us now is our good fortune; we must not offend him."
Gu Chen thought to himself, "That Senior Zhao you mentioned is probably still feeling extremely apprehensive, and he still has to call your son 'Master'."
However, he said, "I will remember my father's teachings!"
He knew in his heart that Gu Beichi was doing it for his own good, so he didn't refute it.
"I was going to ask how you made your acquaintance, but I guess you have your own secrets, just like how you met Zhao Haiqing. If you don't tell me, I won't ask." Gu Beichi looked at Gu Chen and said, "My good son has grown up and can now protect his father from the wind and rain."
"When I was little, my father's back was as broad and strong as a mountain range, shielding his son from all the wind and rain," Gu Chen said emotionally. "Now, it's time for the son to support his father."
Gu Beichi was overjoyed, laughed heartily, and said "good" twice. Then he closed his eyes and soaked in the bathroom, no longer speaking.
For the next two days, Gu Chen stayed at home with his father. For him, restoring his father's meridians was the top priority. His father had longed to cultivate again for a long time, and he needed to work harder to wash away the obsession he had with the word "useless person."
That day, Gu Chen had just finished brewing the medicine when the phone rang.
It was Zhao Haiqing calling.
Gu Chen frowned.
"What's wrong?"
"Young Master Gu, help!"
Zhao Haiqing's voice carried a hint of fear and trembling.
Gu Chen's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this!
In the past few days, since causing a scene at the Jiang Group, he had been busy with his father's affairs, so he almost forgot that Zhao Haiqing was still in danger. He hurriedly asked, "What happened? Tell me slowly!"
"We've been forced to the mountainside, and my men are about to collapse!"
"What's going on? Who is it?"
"He's already badly injured. My men are either dead or wounded! Young Master Gu, that family from the Shangjing has arrived— the Liu Family. If you don't help me, you'll probably only see my corpse!"
In his desperation, Zhao Haiqing blurted out whatever came to mind.
As a powerful figure in the region, one can only imagine the extent to which Zhao Haiqing would be forced to say such a thing!
The Liu Family? Gu Chen searched his mind for a moment, then without further ado, said "Wait for me" and hung up the phone.
Gu Chen was extremely familiar with Mount Yunyang. It was in the cave that he had achieved a breakthrough when he was forced to the outskirts by the assassins from the Wuji Manor last time.
After saying goodbye to his father, Gu Chen rushed out the door.
After getting in the car, Gu Chen arrived at the foot of the mountain in less than half an hour.
It's almost eight o'clock now, just as the sky is beginning to darken completely.
The atmosphere on the mountain was slightly chilly. Driving along the mountain road, accompanied by gusts of cool wind, Gu Chen felt as if his hands and feet were ice-cold.
Gu Chen finally arrived at the mountain and saw many vehicles parked on the flat slope at the top. In the very center, Zhao Haiqing was covered in blood and surrounded by people. Around him, many of the Black Wind Hall's underlings had already fallen. Gu Chen didn't know how Zhao Haiqing had managed to call him, but he didn't care about that now. He drove over and charged.
The enemy force was small, only a dozen or so people. These dozen or so people were all dressed in the same blue robes, which seemed to be the uniform of a martial arts sect. The leader had white hair and eyebrows, and looked to be in his sixties. He looked like a master.
Dozens of members of the Black Wind Hall lay on the ground around them. Qi Ming lay motionless, his fate unknown.
Zhao Haiqing was in such a desperate state, like a trapped beast, that his solitary courage was all the more apparent on the dimly lit hillside.
Who goes there?!
The sound of Gu Chen's car engine was particularly jarring in the darkness. Immediately, someone took out a flashlight, and a bright, dazzling white beam of light shone in his direction, completely enveloping Gu Chen's windshield.
This flashlight must have some special technological features; the light is so strong that it's almost blinding.
Gu Chen's eyes turned cold, and he completely ignored him, even stepping on the gas and increasing the car's speed!
Boom!
The car, like a wild beast, charged straight into the crowd!
