Chapter 25: Gu Xiechens First Time (Part 2)

  This seems to be the master's living room and study. The living room has a bluestone bed, a bluestone cabinet, two white stone carvings of lotus seats, and several earthenware pots and bowls. These utensils are obviously handmade, but every line on them is naturally smooth and flowing, with a stunning beauty that takes one's breath away. The study has more things, a long stone desk, two purple-silver bamboo bookshelves, and a five-stringed zither hangs on the wall, its body ancient and unpolished, obviously very old. On the desk are three volumes of pale silver cloth rolls, and on the bookshelf are only three bundles of bamboo slips tied together.

  Everything in the room was spotless, as if someone had just swept it. This eerie scene made Gu Xie's scalp tingle, and the cleanliness here was a bit too much.

  After a moment of contemplation, Gu Xiechen carefully opened the three rolls of cloth on the table. The light silver-colored cloth roll was made of unknown materials, and it looked like only one wrist-thick roll, but when opened, it became a large piece of 3 feet wide and 12 feet long. On the cloth roll, there were three articles of heart method written in dense, red-date-sized seal script characters, but the wording was ancient and dry, extremely difficult to understand. Gu Xiechen only read the first seven or eight sentences of the incantation and felt a sharp pain in his brain.

  "A certain extremely brilliant cultivation method, but four characters in one sentence, really difficult to understand." Gu Xie dust shook his head and opened the three bamboo slips again.

  The things recorded on the bamboo slips were much simpler, roughly the formulas for refining various alloys in three bundles, but the situations described were extremely strange and eerie, Gu Xiechen felt like he was reading the heavenly book again.

  For example, a certain 'Jiuleihongtong' alloy, the main material is ordinary copper ingot, after more than a dozen unbelievable refining steps, it can actually ignore thunderstorms!

  " Ignore lightning attacks? Not even a Roman first-class battleship would dare say that! If surrounded by thunder clouds, even a Roman first-class battleship would cry out!" Gu Xiachen's facial muscles twitched as he shook his head repeatedly: "Madman, the one who wrote this is a madman, how is it possible? Ignore heavenly lightning? Ha, that's just ignoring all electric charge attacks! It's simply absurd!"

  But vaguely, Gu Xiechen knew that this was likely true.

  Everything in this valley is too mysterious, Gu Xiechen's intuition tells him that the incantations on these three brocade rolls and the alchemy methods on these three bamboo slips are invaluable.

  He weighed the three rolls of cloth in his left hand, then weighed the three bamboo slips in his right hand. The old man's dusty and strange smile appeared: "This matter seems to have gotten out of hand!"

  After pondering for a while, Gu Xie dusted off a faint smile and began to recite the incantations on the brocade scroll and the alchemy methods on the bamboo slips. In just half an hour, tens of thousands of characters became familiar to him.

  Carrying a bundle of cloth and bamboo slips, Gu Xie dust went out of this study room to the thatched hut on the left.

  This hut was empty, with only a fire eye on the ground. The owner of this place had somehow inlaid a three-foot-six-inch square red jade plate on the ground, and on the jade plate, small pieces of red Zaker energy crystals were inlaid with the pre-heavenly eight trigrams pattern. In the center of the jade plate was a small bowl-mouthed hole, from which a three-foot-tall pale golden flame silently spouted out, burning quietly like solid glass.

  A faint golden flame, the ancient evil dust was unheard of. In this faint golden flame, a half-transparent white liquid sphere floated. From time to time, this liquid sphere would shake slightly, rippling in circles.

  As he stood at the entrance of the thatched hut, Gu Xiechen didn't notice anything unusual inside, but as soon as he stepped onto the red jade slab, a wave of heat rushed towards him. In just one breath, Gu Xiechen felt his body was about to burn up, and large amounts of sweat continuously seeped out from his body, flowing down his skin before evaporating into steam before even touching the ground. With a "whoosh", Gu Xiechen's long hair, which had grown out due to the stimulation of his dormant potential, suddenly caught fire, leaving behind only a trail of ash as Gu Xiechen was once again left bald.

  Gu Xie dust was so frightened that he hastily retreated two steps, just walking out of the red jade plate, and suddenly a coolness all over his body, that terrible heat wave disappeared without a trace.

  Furrowing his brow, he stepped onto the jade slab once more, and the heat waves rolled in again.

  Guxie Dust's face lit up with joy, and he casually tossed the three volumes of pale silver fabric towards the pale golden fire pillar. Like snowflakes falling into water, the three volumes of fabric didn't even produce a wisp of smoke before being incinerated by the fire pillar. Guxie Dust let out a few cold laughs, weighed the bamboo slips in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then tossed two more volumes towards the fire pillar, which also vanished into nothingness.

  He didn't dare to step on the red stone slab again, so Gu Xie dust carefully searched the thatched hut and finally found a thin piece of jade on the north-facing red jade slab. The jade had a few words carved in extremely small characters, which roughly said: "The pale golden fire pillar is something called 'Golden Crow Heavenly Fire' brought by the master of this place. The fire seed is under the jade stone slab. If you don't have enough strength, never try to tame it, and absolutely do not approach it." The half-transparent white liquid ball in the fire pillar was a weapon refined by the master of this place. Since the master's time limit was approaching but the weapon still lacked the right timing, he intentionally left it here waiting for someone with good fortune.

  This seemingly liquid-like treasure is called Ruyi, and if one has enough strength, it can be freely manipulated to transform into various weapons. However, if the strength is insufficient, it can only temporarily transform into a single weapon. The master here also said that this Ruyi condensed his entire life's worth of equipment refinement, it was his life's work, and those who have the opportunity to obtain it must not use it for evil, or they will be punished by heaven.

  "Ah!" Gu Xiechen's eyes lit up, he pondered for a moment, then followed the method recorded on the jade piece and bit his tongue to spit out a drop of essence blood onto the jade piece. He carefully threw the jade piece towards the golden flame pillar. The jade piece flew into the flame pillar, and a seven-colored glow spread from within the jade piece, Gu Xiechen's essence blood transformed into a mist of blood in the seven-colored glow, which slowly enveloped the 'Ruyi'.

  A flash of white light appeared before his eyes, and Gu Xiechen had not yet reacted when the white liquid ball flew to his face. A strange feeling that was similar to his own heart's intent came from this liquid ball, and Gu Xiechen vaguely felt that it was a living thing. He shook his head to dispel this strange idea, and according to the records on the jade slip, he stretched out his hand to grasp the liquid ball, and in his mind, he imagined the most suitable weapon for himself at present.

  As Ru Yi trembled slightly, it split into two liquid spheres that separately wrapped around Gu Xie Chen's hands. In an instant, the extremely thin gloves were worn on his hands. The gloves were very long, extending all the way to his elbows. Gu Xie Chen tried moving his claws, and the joints moved with ease and flexibility, as if the two gloves didn't exist at all.

  "Good, good stuff!" Such a wonderful thing made Gu Xie dust surprised almost shouting out, but soon he calmed down, this valley is too mysterious, nothing is worth being surprised about.

  He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then Gu Xiechen began to imagine the appearance of a short sword. However, no matter how hard he thought, with golden stars flashing before his eyes, the glove still didn't change in the slightest.

  "It's indeed due to insufficient strength, so I can only temporarily turn it into a glove for now. However, my main skills lie in these two hands of mine, and having a weapon would be useless."

  He smiled lightly, and Gu Xiechen pressed his hand onto the ground. This time he didn't use any internal energy, but his right palm seemed to be a hot iron knife cutting through butter, effortlessly sinking into the bluestone floor by a full foot. Gu Xiechen was stunned, staring blankly at the thin, almost transparent glove on his hand, his heart racing wildly.

  With a loud shout, Gu Xie burst out of the thatched cottage like a whirlwind. He raised his hands and hacked randomly at the dark mountain rock beside the cottage. His hands seemed to be two peerless divine weapons, effortlessly cutting the black rock into fragments. Not a single bit of aura was wasted; relying solely on the glove itself was enough to cleave gold and sever iron.

  Guxia Chen carefully touched his body with his hands, the gloves felt smooth and delicate, not even hurting Guxia Chen's hair. This was a spiritual divine weapon.

  "How wonderful!" Gu Xie Cen looked up at the sky and let out a loud whoop, a burst of wild joy shooting straight to his head. He turned his hand over and unleashed a Cloud- Cutting Palm that lightly chopped towards the mountain cliff behind him.

  On the cliff, a large piece of wisteria was silently and quietly crushed into powder. A palm print with a depth of several meters appeared clearly on the cliff. The corner of Gu Xiechen's eye twitched rapidly. His previous slash at most left a palm print about one meter deep on the cliff, but this time it seemed that his own palm strength had been amplified, and the depth of the palm print was about twice as deep as he had estimated.

  "Good baby! Good baby!" Gu Xiechen raised his hands and burst out laughing.

  He was excited for a while, and Gu Xiechen only remembered the fire of the Golden Crow Heavenly Fire under the red jade slab. He returned to the thatched hut and carefully tried twice, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get close to the three-foot-tall pale golden flame pillar. The temperature within three feet of the flame pillar was already enough to melt gold and iron, Gu Xiechen was just a mortal, and he didn't dare to touch the Golden Crow Heavenly Fire again.

  With a sullen expression, he grasped the only remaining bamboo scroll and walked out of the thatched cottage. Gu Xie dust stared at the fire pillar and muttered to himself: "I can't move you? Heh heh, just right!"

  This time, Gu Xiechen walked into that 'I'm going by myself' mountain cave.

  Along the winding path, he walked forward for over 300 meters and arrived at a strange place. Here was a deep well in the shape of a square, about 10 meters long and wide, which connected directly to the top of the mountain. Standing inside the well, one could clearly see a small patch of sky above. This well connected to the outside world, but like those three thatched cottages, this place was also spotless as if someone had swept it clean at any moment.

  On the smooth well wall, countless fist-sized Zakula energy crystals were inlaid with a star map of the celestial bodies, and as soon as Gu Xiechen walked into this deep well, he felt his "boundary" trembling with joy. The dense energy aura in this deep well was something that even Gu Xiechen could clearly sense, and the vortex in his 108 major acupoints began to rotate rapidly again, with abundant energy constantly surging into his body through the 108 major acupoints, following the meridians straight to the Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness.

  However, Gu Xie did not care about practicing his skills. He simply stared blankly at the wall of the well in front of him, where a line of floating dust characters appeared - "Tian Nan Shan Lian Qi Shi Wu Xie Zheng Dao Yu Ci". Below this line of water-sized dust characters was a set of clean and spotless moon-blue Taoist robes, white crane cloak, light green silk belt, and cloud-treading boots. A Qingyu Taoist crown floated quietly above the clothes, as if there was an invisible person inside the clothes.

  Gu Xie dusted off his clothes and knelt down, his heart filled with a certain inexpressible emotion.

  This Zhongnan Mountain's Qi-refining master, how did he come to this planet? How did he know of the existence of this planet?

  "Senior, please forgive me. I'm in a bit of trouble and need to borrow some clothes from you today. I suppose you've already transcended the mundane world and wouldn't be attached to worldly possessions anymore. No need to mind, no need to mind!"

  This morning, Gu Xiechen carefully performed a series of rituals in front of the Taoist robe and crown. The Jade Intention Gloves emitted a faint white glow, and Gu Xiechen gently took down the floating clothes. After flipping them inside out, he found that the Taoist robe was spotless, without even a speck of dust or dirt. Gu Xiechen secretly praised the diligence of the Dusty Path cultivator in washing their clothes, and then put on the robe with satisfaction.

  Having solved the problem of being stark naked, Gu Xie Chen finally had the mood to gaze deeply into this well.

  From top to bottom, the well wall of about 1,500 meters high is inlaid with Zacra energy crystals, and the quality of each one is better than what Gu Xiechen saw before by more than a hundred times. Each crystal is almost transparent, and the energy aura inside each crystal is astonishingly large. Gu Xiechen secretly estimated that the energy contained in the Zacra energy crystals in this deep well was absolutely comparable to the energy contained in tens of thousands of cubic meters of standard energy ore.

  "Xiao Ren, wait and see! I'll be right back to love you!"

  "Hehe" chuckled a few times, Gu Xiechen sat cross-legged in the depths of the well, with strands of purple mist constantly erupting from his brow.

  A massive amount of energy burst forth from the Zacra energy crystals, a purple mist enveloping a multicolored torrent of energy that formed a terrifying vortex in the depths. Endless energy surged into Gu Xuan's Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness, the star map deep within his consciousness growing brighter and brighter, the enormous Taiji vortex growing larger and clearer.

  The final energy absorption reached a limit, and in the countless golden light rains that swirled rapidly around the Taiji vortex, a golden star suddenly flashed.

  A massive amount of energy surged towards the golden star, Gu Xie Chen's soul origin seemed to have been slashed by a sharp knife, about 80% of his soul origin was restored to its purest and most primitive state by a mysterious power, wrapped in a thick purple gas, rushing towards the constantly flashing golden star.

  "Boom", Gu Xiechen's seven orifices simultaneously spewed out fresh blood, he hugged his head and let out a frantic howl. Whoever it was that suddenly had eighty percent of their soul source taken away would be in agony, Gu Xiechen was in so much pain that it felt like every cell in his body was constantly exploding, the pain made him wish he could just die on the spot.

  However, the strange thing is that ordinary people would have lost eight-tenths of their soul's origin and scattered, but Gu Xie Chen still lives well, with a clear mind and no abnormalities, only his spiritual power fluctuates slightly. It feels like an 800-pound fat man suddenly loses weight to over 100 pounds, as long as he supplements some nutrition, he can grow back at any time.

  A purple light burst out from the ancient evil dust on his brow, and a figure of over three meters tall slowly emerged from the purple light.

  The tall figure looked around in all directions, seemingly hesitant and muttering to himself: "This is... uh... the atmosphere around here... Is this 'Youxian Star'? Hmm, can't quite recall."

  The puppets created by Sai Ren are all without independent thought and completely controlled by him, while the person summoned by Gu Xie Chen at the cost of a huge amount of energy seems to have his own consciousness, and he also knows many things that Gu Xie Chen does not know.

  He shook his head, and the big guy raised his head to the sky with an open mouth. A sharp light burst out from a piece of Zha'kr crystal, and the violent energy surged into the man's body.

  Gradually, this big guy's body became more and more solid, soon becoming indistinguishable from a living person.

  He was a giant of a man, with a yellow headscarf tied around his head, a face as red as jade, and a thick beard that resembled steel needles. His massive body stood at over three meters tall, with bulging muscles visible on his bare upper torso, while his lower half was clad in a battle skirt embroidered with clouds and mist, and emblazoned with the image of a flying bear rising up towards the sky, its head thrown back in a mighty roar.

  He let out a low hum, and two white streams of air shot out from the big man's nostrils. He stretched out his hand towards the sparkling crystal, and a thick iron chain slowly took shape within the light.

  "Can't find any good materials, just barely managed to get something that feels right." The big man muttered to himself in a deep voice, slowly and carefully wrapping the small bowl-mouthed thick iron chain around his body.

  The evil dust of the seven orifices spurted blood, and it took a while to recover. He panted as he crawled up from the ground, his forehead covered with cold sweat like paste.

  A sturdy and robust figure stood in front of Gu Xiechen, who stared blankly at the towering figure that didn't seem human. The yellow-turbaned man also stared blankly at Gu Xiechen.

  After a while, the big Han suddenly let out a loud roar like thunder, and the huge cry almost didn't make Gu Xie dust, who was weak at this moment, faint. The big Han heavily knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and saluted Gu Xie dust: "Your Excellency, which demon dared to hurt Your Excellency? Wait for me to capture it and cut it into pieces, throw it into the 18th layer of hell and let it never be reborn!"

  "Drip, drip", the nosebleed continued to drip from Gu Xiechen's nose, his face twitching for a moment. He stared blankly and asked: "Who are you?"

  The majestic Han urn shouted with a loud voice: "How can the Supreme forget General Mo? I am the first heavenly general of the 33rd heaven, Huang Zengtian, the 'Zhenzi' number one camp patrol heavenly soldier Xing Jia!"

  "Ah!" Gu Xiechen's jaw almost dislocated, he stared blankly at the big man, and his mind suddenly turned over countless thoughts.

  How can this be a puppet summoned by the boundary warrior that has no divine wisdom and only completely obeys orders?

  The old man narrowed his eyes and sized up the burly man who called himself Xin Jia, asking cautiously: "Say it again, who are you?"

  Xin Jia held his head high and shouted: "I am Xin Jia, the Yellow Turban General of the 'Zhen' character, First Battalion, under the great Emperor Huang!"

  "Hah!" Gu Xie Cen let out a cold breath, he felt his head was in great pain.

  Xin Jia asked with a big smile: "Why did the Supreme come to this mortal world privately and visit the Youxian star? Could it be that this Youxian star has discovered some kind of heavenly treasure? It's just a small matter, why bother the Supreme to labor his feet?"

  Gu Xie blinked his eyes, he raised his head, just in time to see three Sacred Unicorn Mercenary Team's ground-attack aircraft slowly flying over from above.

  "Alas! My lord has been bullied!"

  Gu Xie dust burst out laughing with a "heh heh".
